Chapter 11: The Mystery of Two
Faye and Sniper had waited till the nighttime to make their move. However, they hadn't noticed Torn and the others standing outside of the HQ. They all turned to face the two as Faye leaped from one rooftop to the other.
Sniper had tried his best to keep up with her and nearly fell off the roofs every once in a while.
Ashelin and Torn had followed after the two. They had gone to the Metal Head Nest. "Faye, why are we here?"
"Strange, no Metal Heads…" She murmured as she walked around. "Why are we looking for Metal Heads?" He asked.
Faye placed her hand on the ground. "Faye?" She had closed her eyes. "Let's just say I have my reasons. I sense no Metal Heads here. So it seems we won't be doing any hunting today."
"Shall we go and get what we talked about yesterday?" he asked. She stood and wiped her knees off. "Yes."
"You do realize we're going into MARAUDER territory, right?" he asked. "They aren't much of a big deal. Besides, their men aren't really as strong as me. I have more than one side," She looked at him and winked.
He frowned. "Okay, okay…"
"Let's go." She turned and made off towards the blue vehicle. She had caught a glimpse of Torn and Ashelin. "Run."
"To where?"
"Wherever, I'll meet you here in a bit." He nodded and dashed off. Faye spun around, withdrawing her blade, and glared up at the vehicle that contained the two. "She's good to have sensed us…" Torn murmured.
"If you have business with me, come and tell me now."
"Who are you and where are you going?" Ashelin called. Faye's eyes had thinned. "My name? It's…Faye!" She jumped backwards onto the top of the blue vehicle before jumping onto the hellcat that the two sat in. They both gasped as she raised her sword and smashed it into the front, blowing the engine.
She grinned at them before jumping off and running off. Sniper watched from the darkness.
Torn and Ashelin had quickly jumped off the vehicle and watched it crash into the water. "After her!" Torn yelled as guards rushed after the girl. Faye turned her head slightly to see the oncoming guards.
She slid to a stop when more guards had blocked her path. She turned around and growled when more guards blocked her way.
"You're surrounded. Surrender now." Ashelin said as she walked out in front of the guards with a gun pulled out. Faye looked around once more. She placed her blade back in its sheath. She raised her hands. Guards began to rush in, but she jumped off the bridge and into the water. "Faye!"
They all turned to face Sniper as he rushed to one of the small bridges that led into the water. "Get them!"
He turned around and grunted. "Go!" Faye coughed. He turned to see her pulling herself out of the water. He quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her out. "GO!" She screamed. He took her hand once more and ran towards the blue vehicle. Lucky enough for them, the door had been opened. The two jumped in and watched as Crimson Guards went after the vehicle that soon drove off into the sky.
Once the door had closed, Sniper let out a sigh. Faye coughed and hugged herself. He wrapped his coat around her. "Why'd you jump into the water like that?"
"It was the only way out." She said. "Why didn't you get into the vehicle and get away?"
"Because you wouldn't have made it." He said. She scoffed and looked away from him. "…Thanks." She said after some time. He glanced at her and smiled.
"DAMN IT!" Torn yelled as he watched the vehicle get away. "Do they know that the vehicle is going to Spargus?" Ashelin asked. Torn shook his head. "I doubt it. What are we going to do? We're not going to wait here and until they decide to come back."
"No, but we can ask our friend Jak to assist in capturing them." Ashelin grinned. Torn nodded and turned away. "I'll give him a call. You go and check up on Daxter and see how he's doing."
She shrugged and ordered the guards to keep patrolling the area. She made her way towards the Naughty Ottsel to hear shouting. "WHAT? What do you mean she's gone?"
"Looks like somebody already decide to give our friend a call." She chuckled and entered into the room. She blinked at the hologram of Jak. He was pacing back and forth with a worried Sig not so far away.
"I'm sorry! Something happened between Blossom and Alexis and Blossom ran off. Skye went after her, but neither one of them has returned. Alexis went after them, but it seems she had been kidnapped. I…thought I'd wait till we could find more evidence…but Blossom was the only one who had an idea of who the guy was!" Daxter cried. He watched as Jak rubbed his temples. "This isn't good…this isn't good…"
"Daxter," Ashelin called as she walked over. "Ashelin! Did you find them?"
"No, we haven't. Nobody in the shopping areas saw them. However, I do have something interesting to report. There are these two kids running around. One is a female who calls herself Faye. We don't know who the boys name is, but these are the descriptions. They're heading towards the desert." Jak turned his head quickly to meet her face. "They're coming here?"
"I don't know if they have business there or if they were just finding it as a quick way of escape from us. Although, they did mention something about going to Marauder City. Apparently, they might have business there. If anything Jak, I'd suggest you keep an eye out on the desert for these two and go after them once you see them land." Ashelin reported.
"What kind of business would they get from Marauder City?" Daxter questioned. "Could…they be Skye and Blossom?"
"No, it couldn't be. The female didn't look anything like Blossom and neither did the male. Although, the girl was good with using a sword."
"That has to be Blossom!" Daxter said. "She's great with a sword! She also uses guns! She's…" Daxter clamped his mouth.
"I know what you were going to say, Daxter." Sig answered. "She's good at using swords like her father and good at using guns like her mother."
"The girl didn't use any guns." Ashelin said. Daxters face fell. "Then it wasn't Blossom…"
"Okay," Jak breathed after some time. He was seen sitting on the throne. "Okay, this is what we'll do. I'll stay here and track those two. While I do that, you guys look for traces of whoever kidnapped Alexis and try to find Blossom and Skye. I know she is good with her equipment, but it does worry me considering she's going to have tons of people going after her."
Sig nodded slightly. "Alright, they should be nearing the desert by now, Jak." Ashelin said. He nodded, his head in his hands. "We'll report any findings to you, Jak, so don't worry."
He slowly nodded again and took a deep breath. Daxter knew that it was taking Jaks entire being not to rush out of there and come to Haven City to find Alexis.
Once the hologram faded away, everyone remained in silence. "Alright, we'll need to divide the search here." Ashelin said. "I can mostly search for the two kids. I can have a 'missing' poster outside the door. I can also look out for anyone that looks mysterious or suspicious." Daxter offered.
"That's good. We'll leave the missing kids to you. Everyone else who works at the HQ is going to help me find traces of whoever kidnapped Alexis and whoever is behind this." Ashelin said.
After the teams had been set, Ashelin waved goodbye to Daxter and the others before leaving to return to the HQ. Torn and the Crimson Guards were going to be searching for whoever was behind this while Daxter, Samos, and Keira were going to be helping in the search for the two kids.
Jak sighed heavily. "I can't believe this. She goes there and gets kidnapped on the first day. I should have gone."
Sig kept an eye out on the desert. He didn't know what to really say to him. What could he say? "Jak, we'll find her. She can take care of herself." Sig forced a smile onto his face.
He turned to glance back at the wasteland and gasped. "Look! Jak, the kids that Ashelin was talking about are here!"
Jak hurried out of the throne chair and beside Sig to watch the two get off. Faye stretched her arms before taking off his coat and giving it to him. The two were talking to each other before they both nodded.
"Sig, stay here." Jak said before rushing off to the vehicle area. Little did he know that that the two kids were heading there as well.
"Thanks," Faye said as the two walked towards the vehicle area. He nodded and put the coat back on. "You're coat is still wet as well as part of your clothing. Are you sure you don't want my coat?"
"We're back in the desert were it's hot. On the way to the Marauder City, I'll have my coat tied to the back of the car to be dried out. As for my clothing," she shrugged. "It'll dry off. No worries."
The two had snuck into the gates of Spargus and looked around. "No sign of father," he whispered. She nodded and rushed over to her vehicle before jumping in. "You do realize that once we get Micaiah, you're going to have to either ride in the back or ride with your jet board."
"I think…what would be safer? I mean, I don't want the others to know who we are just by using these vehicles." He said. She placed a hand under her chin. "You're right." She looked around. "However, there aren't any other vehicles that have a back seat."
"I could say that I built the jet board, if they ever found us." He said. She nodded. "That'll suffice."
"For now, I'll ride in the passengers seat." He said. "Okay." She said as she reached in her coat pocket for her keys. "Hey, since when did you have those?"
"I always carry a spare." She grinned as he got into the passenger side. Just as she turned on the motor, the main gates of Spargus had opened. Sniper's face paled. "Hey! Get out of that vehicle!" Faye quickly looked over to Jak and growled.
She slammed her foot on the gas petal before quickly rushing out into the desert. Jak growled and jumped into one of his vehicles and gave chase. "Faye, what should we do?" Sniper called over the roar of the wind and engine.
Faye looked into her rear view mirror and bit her lip. "Okay," she started as she looked back on the desert. "We'll play a little game. Let's see if the king can keep up."
She shifted gears and the vehicle began to speed up. Jak growled once he saw that he was beginning to lose distance.
"We'll go in circles and then to the ruins and then to Marauder City once we think that the coast is clear! Keep an eye on him while I keep an eye on the road!" She said. He nodded and stared at the rear view mirror. "Oh!"
"What?" She asked. "Would it be better if I…just shot his tires? It's not going to hurt him, but it won't allow him to continue giving chase." He said. "Snip 'em, Sniper!" She grinned.
He pulled out a small gun from the belt he wore and turned around in his seat. He closed one eye and aimed towards the tires of Jaks vehicle. Jak had noticed that the boy had a gun and was aiming towards him. He began to swerve.
"We've got a problem!" He said.
"Just try shooting!" She ordered.
He bit his lip and watched the way that he was swerving before shooting. A loud pop was heard and Sniper bit his lip. "Did you get it?"
He grinned when Jak roared out in anger as his tire had gotten hit. "Yep!"
"Shouldn't be a problem of losing him now. Hang on tightly, we're going to get the hell out of here before he gets a chance to pull out any of his guns and shoot one of my tires!" She said.
Jak had to slid the car to a stop and watch as the two got away. He think he had an idea of where they were going. Luckily for him, he wasn't far from Spargus City. He could run back to the City and call for some backup and give chase after the kids again.
Micaiah let out a sigh as she lay on her bed. She stared up at the ceiling. She had noticed that the prince had been trying to court her, but she didn't pay him any attention for that sort of thing.
She was mainly worried about Blossom, Skye, and her mother. Were they all right? What were they doing? Had they discovered anything new?
To pay respect to both the Royal family of Marauder and the people, she was always seen wearing her royal dress.
She didn't care so much for all of the attention that the servants gave her. She let out another heavy sigh before sitting up and staring at the balcony.
"My lady?" She opened her eyes and sat up to see Izuka standing at the doorway. "You forgot to knock."
"Sorry, I was just worried about you. You haven't come out of your room since the three left."
She shrugged. She turned her head away. "I just rather be alone."
"Shall I accompany you? Such a beauty such as yourself shouldn't be left alone in such a dark room."
"No thanks," She said. Izuka frowned. He then turned away. "Alright, I shall leave you be."
She began to rub her temple. "I wish he wouldn't try to court me. I don't have the feelings that he wishes to share. Perhaps I should talk with him about that? Oh, but I am in Marauder turf. I'd only be making myself a horrible figure."
She sighed and looked over at a picture of her and Blossom. While Micaiah looked happy with her arms wide up in the air with a giant smile, Blossom merely gave a small smile and had her arms crossed in front of her chest. Blossom wasn't fond of cameras, but Alexis had managed to get the girl to look nice and smile for at least one picture.
"Oh how I miss her." She murmured. "What?" She heard loud rash voice cry out from outside. She had her balcony doors open to have some air come in. She slowly snuck out towards the balcony while the other person said, "shhh!"
"Is this for real? His highness wants to court the lady Princess of Spargus?" Micaiah had peaked down to see that it was a pair of guards. She moved away and leaned against the balcony doorframes.
"Yeah, strange isn't it? I'll admit this; the Princess of Spargus is sure as hell attractive. That gown she wears is simply beautiful! Not too fancy, but nice and simple. Something you don't see an average Princess wear. Our Queen, when she was alive, used to be decked out in all kinds of diamonds and whatnot!" One of the guards said.
The other guard had seemed to agree. "Yes, quite true. Do you think she'll fall in love with him? Not only would it possibly bring our people closer to her people, but we'd get one heck of a jewel for a Queen to be!"
She had slid down until she was sitting. She pulled her knees up to her chest and placed her head on her kneecaps. Is that what they view me as?
"You want to know what I heard?" The other guard said. "Hmmm?"
"I heard his highness was going to dedicate an upcoming ball to the royal princess. I think he's doing it to score some points with her." The other guard was silent for a moment.
"What worries me is the Queen of Spargus…Queen Alexis, I think her name was? She's a monster if made angry! Much like the King of Spargus. I wonder if the princess is the same. Would we really want a Monster Queen?"
That hit a nerve. Micaiah hugged herself and shut her eyes. How insulting! I am no monster and neither are my parents! They were forced to become what they are. It's not like they asked for it. What would these idiots know? She shook her head. "Cool down," She murmured to herself.
She stood. "Maybe a walk in the garden would ease my mind." She whispered to herself. She looked around before going into her closet. She took out a small knife in the closet and lifted up her dress a little before wrapping a strap around her leg. She placed the knife in the sheath before dropping the dress. She didn't trust the guards there at all.
Izuka had been in the dining area with a cup of tea. He was talking with his father. "Father, what do you think of me courting the young Princess of Spargus?"
His father glanced up at him. "I…do not know. It would be great, since there are barely any princesses or people worthy of your presence. I'll admit that she is a fine lady indeed. I've heard rumors among the guards that you were attempting to court the young lady. What of her answers?"
"Either she knows and doesn't wish to be with me, or she just doesn't understand how I feel." He said. His father nodded slowly and took a sip from his teacup. "Has she left her room?" He shook his head. "No, she doesn't wish the company of anybody."
His father placed down the teacup and dismissed the servant that had been standing nearby. Once the servant left, the king looked over at Izuka. "Perhaps you could court her a…more suffice way."
"Suffice way? What would that be?" Izuka asked.
"You could drug her or seduce her. You could also try to explain to her that she is far from the average commoner and that she is a princess and should only marry a prince." His father replied.
Izuka had nearly choked on his tea. "Excuse me? Drug her? Seduce her?" he stared at his father incredulously.
His father shrugged as if it was a normal thing. "That is how most man get their woman here, Izuka, or at least that is how the kings of years past have obtained their wives. It's only natural to continue what they have started."
Izuka frowned. He didn't believe it. "If I may object, father, wouldn't that push her away more than pull her in?"
His father glanced at him. "Son, it is a natural element for us. She is a princess as you are a prince. Royals are made for each other. As a princess, she should know this. Now go and try it out. Remember, she is a princess and you are a prince. Royals are always destined to be with each other."
Izuka stood and slowly nodded, unsure if this was the right move or not. He turned and left the room and kept in thought of what his father had told him. "I seriously think that would push her away more than pull her in." He murmured.
He figured that he would at least find her and possibly give it a try. The only thing that made him glad that that the commoner boy wasn't there to mess it up. After some time of searching, he found her in the garden. She was sitting on a bench, staring up at the moon. It was around sunset, but the moon began to appear.
He took a seat beside her. "Hello." He began. "Hello." She nodded back. Izuka had glanced around the area and dismissed all of the guards. His heart was racing a mile a minute. He was uncertain of what he would do. He nearly jumped when a servant called, "My princess and prince, the king has ordered me to bring these drinks to you."
"Ok, thank you." Izuka said. "Thank you, miss." Micaiah had smiled at the servant as she passed her drink to her. She passed the last drink to the prince before leaving.
After taking some sips from the drink, she had begun to feel strange. Izuka didn't, but noticed how Micaiah began to act a little strange. Father…did you seriously drug her drink? Perhaps…He looked away for a moment. He was right…she IS a princess and I AM a prince. It's only natural that we're together. Since she is drugged, I doubt she'll remember much of what will happen.
She hadn't noticed that she had placed her head on his shoulder. The drinks were on a table next to the bench. "I feel so tired…" She murmured. "Perhaps you haven't gotten much sleep the past few days? I know you worry about your friend and mother." She nodded slowly. "That must be it…"
"Micaiah," He began. He was going to try. "Hmmm?"
"Do you care deeply for that commoner?"
"Commoner? Which one?"
"The boy,"
"…I guess…" She murmured. She nearly jumped when he grabbed her shoulders and forced her to face him. "Why? He is a commoner and you are a princess. Don't you know the rules of being a royal? A royal princess must marry a royal prince. Not some…unworthy commoner." She blinked a few times in confusion. "That sounds unfair to me." She said.
"More or lass, you should be mine. I am a prince and you are a princess. It's only natural."
"But I don't love you…" She whispered and looked away slightly. We'll see after this, Micaiah. He thought. He grabbed her chin and forced his lips onto hers. She had been startled by this sudden movement.
However, for some reason, it felt good. She began to kiss back. This had surprised him slightly. She's…kissing back? Does this mean…that father was right? She had no idea that she was only encouraging him.
He began to pin her down on the bench; her hands pinned above her head so she wouldn't try fighting him. His grip on her was loose though; he didn't expect her to fight.
He wrapped his other arm around her waist. She felt so right in his arms. The two broke away for a moment to catch their breath. Micaiah's mind was cloudy and fuzzy. She wasn't sure of what was going on or what she was doing.
It wasn't until they began to kiss again and he pressed her tighter against his body that she began to squirm. He thought it was because she was uncomfortable and wanted more. He let go of her waist and moved his free hand around her body.
She moaned into their kiss. This had pleased him greatly and he continued. She froze a few times because of where he touched. This excited her body, but she didn't want it. She continued to struggle within his grasp.
Sensing that something was wrong, he pulled away. She was panting for air. "Oh…" he panted himself. "I'm sorry…" he murmured. He began to kiss her neck. Kissing a sensitive spot on her neck had made her arch her back and let out a small moan.
"…Stop…" She moaned. He let go of her wrists and wrapped it under her body. "Stop…Izuka…"
She placed her hands on his shoulder and pushed him away. He looked up at her, confused. He could tell that her body was enjoying this, but was she not?
"Stop, please, no more. I don't share your feelings!" She told him once she regained most of her breath.
"Then why didn't you stop me during our kiss? You only encouraged me." He answered back. He still had his arms wrapped around her body, pressing her against him.
"I had no idea what was going on for the moment…" She said.
He was only silent. "Please get off me."
He continued to hold her. She gently pushed him. "Izuka, please get off me!"
He only held her tighter and whispered, "No."
"Izuka!" She cried. "Get off!"
"I suggest you get off of her or else I'll cut open your throat." A female voice answered. He turned his head slightly to see Faye glaring down at him with a sword pointed at him. "Who are you and how did you get here?"
"My name is Faye and how I got here is none of your concern." He growled and sat up before calling for the guards. He kept Micaiah pressed against his body. She was a little fearful of the girl. "I've come for the girl, now hand her over."
"GUARDS!" He yelled. A gunshot was heard and Izuka had fallen to the ground. Micaiah screamed and turned to see that Izuka had been shot in the leg. "Run, Micaiah!" He said. Faye jumped onto the bench and over Micaiah and blocked her only way of escape. She gasped and backed away. "Be silent, Princess, and come with us quietly." Faye had ordered.
"G-get away from me!" She cried. She pulled out the knife and pointed it towards Faye. Faye had raised an eyebrow. "Do you really think that will defend you?"
"D-don't misjudge me! I'm very good with handling blades!"
"Save the prince and the princess!" Cries were heard behind Faye. Sniper had jumped down behind Micaiah. "I'll handle the guards, you take the princess and get the…"
He froze when he heard a roar. Faye bit her lip. Shit, it's Jak! How did he know?
"Screw the guards!" Faye said. She quickly knocked the blade out of Micaiahs hand and picked her up by the waist and threw her over her shoulder. "Let's get the hell out of here!"
Just as the two jumped onto the tree and onto the top of a mini roof, Jak rushed in as Dark Jak and glared at the two. Sniper nearly whimpered in fear. "F-faye!" he cried.
"Daddy!" Micaiah cried.
Faye tossed Micaiah over to Sniper who blushed deeply when he caught the girl. Micaiah glanced up at him fearfully. "Get the hell out of here! I'll…stall this thing!"
Sniper groaned, but nodded. He fled without another word. Micaiah began to scream for her father and tried fighting Sniper. Jak was about to go after her until Faye jumped in front of him and kicked him back. He snarled at her. "Get the fuck out of my way!"
"Sorry, but I can't do that. Your…daughter is valuable to me. She will prove herself useful." Faye answered. She got the reaction she hadn't expected. Balls of dark energy were flung at her. She cried out and dodged them to the best of her ability. Guards had rushed in and pulled the wounded prince out. "Get Micaiah!" he ordered some of the guards.
"It was you that kidnapped Alexis, wasn't it? RELEASE HER!" he roared. He lunged after her. She winced and slashed at him with her blade. He cried out in pain as he held his wounded hand. She had managed to cut him. "FAYE!"
Faye had gotten that as she signal to get the hell out of there. Faye jumped over the wall and began to make a run for it. It wasn't long before she heard Jak roars, "Oh no you don't!" She had caught a glimpse of him running after her from the corner of her eye.
"Jeez, I'm going to have a nightmare from this." She murmured. Unlock your abilities…It will stall him…
Faye had stopped, looking around. She cried out when Jak jumped on top of her and held her throat. He began to squeeze tightly. He had no clue that it was Blossom beneath them.
She cried out and tried to push him off. She began to feel awfully tired and weak. So this is how I will die, huh? At the hands of my own best friends father.
She began to slowly close her eyes. I'm sorry, Micaiah, I was only trying to protect you…take care of her, Skye…
Just as she was about to fade off into the land of total darkness, a huge power erupted from her and blasted Jak right off of her. She sat up and began to choke for air. Jak was removing himself from the bricks that he had smashed during his fall. He glared up at Faye as she held her head. His eyes begin to widen when he thought he saw the Mark of the Princess of Bloodshed. "Blossom…?"
That shocked her greatly. She quickly forced herself up, grabbing her sword and running off. Jak quickly got up and gave chase. It was thanks to Sniper that she managed to get to the car and speed off. He had been firing the gun at the feet of Jak.
Micaiah was tied up in bonds and fearfully watched from the back seat as the man began to fire a gun at her father. "Father!" Her scream was muffled by the cloth around her mouth. When Faye jumped into the car and sped off, she began to silently sob.
"Are you alright…?" he whispered to Faye. She held her throat. "I don't know…I think…he just about woke up something…" She said. "Do you want me to drive? Should I begin to call you by the real names?"
This caught the sobbing girls attention. "Not right now, let me catch my breath…"
"Blossom, I think he did some serious damage." He murmured.
Micaiahs eyes widen. B-blossom?
"I thought I said not to say that aloud!" She snapped. She sighed and nodded towards Micaiah. "Let her go, its safe now." The boy that had tied up the small princess began to untie her. She squirmed away from him and watched as his face fell. "W-who are you?"
"She…doesn't recognize us…" he said sadly. "That's good. Although I worry if I blew my cover."
"C-cover…?"
"Micaiah, it's us! It's Blossom and Skye!" Skye said. "N-no! Liars!"
"Micaiah, it is us. We changed our looks."
Micaiah refused to believe it. Faye let out a heavy sigh. "Okay, Faye, what are we going to do? We got Micaiah…"
"Find Alexis because that crazy idiot does major damage." Faye murmured to herself. "What…? My…mother…is missing?" Micaiah whispered in utter shock. Sniper looked at her and then looked at Faye who didn't respond.
"What should we do? The Crimson guards will surely be waiting for us to return…" Sniper frowned. "True, but it's only a matter of how many. We do not want to harm Daxter, Torn, or Ashelin. We do that and we're screwed."
Faye had begun to cough, holding her throat while holding her other hand on the steeling wheel. "Faye! Are you alright?"
"F-fine..." She coughed. Sniper turned to look over to the frightened Micaiah and turned pale. "Uh, Faye, I don't want you to push yourself or anything, but we got ourselves a big situation…"
"What is it?" Faye asked, glancing at him quickly and then back to the road.
What Sniper had seen was a marauder vehicle chasing after them. "So it seems that either the prince or Jak are really eager to get Micaiah back." Faye commented. "Hang on!" Faye yelled.
Sniper quickly grabbed a hold of Micaiah and held her tightly before Faye swerved the vehicle in a different direction. She spun the vehicle around before going the opposite way.
"Where is a good place a to hide? A place where they wouldn't think of finding us? We need to find ourselves a place to sleep tonight or at least until things settle down." Sniper said.
Micaiah had shut her eyes tightly. She was scared. Were they really telling the truth?
"We can't settle down, Sniper! Alexis has been captured and he'd be going after Micaiah next. Now that Micaiah is out of the picture, he's sure to go and get crazy over Alexis." Faye commented as she bit her lip. She continued to swerve around to try and lose the Marauder vehicle.
"Micaiah…" Sniper whispered. Micaiah looked at him. She recognized his eyes right away. "Skye! It IS you!" She yelled and hugged him. He gasped out in surprise from the sudden change in attitude. Faye grinned. She was glad to know that her friend was back in a good mood.
She turned to face Faye. "Blossom…?"
"Yes?"
"Why did you change your hair and outfit? You look pretty and everything, but why? Why change your birth name and avoid my father? If he knew who you really were, he wouldn't go after us!" Micaiah said.
"To avoid detection from a man who is after you, me and Alexis. He already got his hands on your mother. I thought that it would be best to change everything in order to avoid such things. After we got our looks and names changed, we'd come for you so that we'd get you before that crazy idiot did. And if I may ask, what the hell were you two doing on that bench?" Faye glared at her form the corner of her eye.
"I…I don't really remember, to be honest. I felt dizzy and sick for about…five minutes or so? When I came back to my senses, he was kissing me and touching me…" Micaiah whispered.
"That bastard…" Sniper winced when he noticed that Faye tightened her fists against the steering wheel. "I'm going to kill him."
"Let's worry more about where we're going to hide and rest!" Sniper yelled.
After a few more swerves and quick turnings around rocks, she managed to get them away from the Marauder vehicle. As they drove, she began to remember a few secret hiding places that she'd doubt Jak and others would look at.
She turned the vehicle and began to make way towards one of the hideouts, one that nobody but she knew about. "Where are we going?"
"A place that nobody but myself knows about. We need to rest tonight before we go and plan to rescue Alexis." However, both Sniper and Micaiah had fallen asleep during the long ride to the hideout. Faye would occasionally look over to them and give a small smile. She thought that the two made a cute couple.
As she drove, she began to wonder if there would be anyone out there for her.
What would her destiny be?
That was surely a long chapter~
Okay, next chapter should be coming up soon. As mentioned in the last chapter or so, I'm going to post everything up before I go through it and make corrections. So enjoy it!
