Journey to Nourasia, An After Oban Story
Ch. 11 with love comes tears
"Never say never, never gonna stop us nooowwww," Eva sang as she strutted about the hallways of the place, "hey that would make a great theme song for when I race!" (Somebody cue the fake laughter!) The girl was wearing the new Nourasian attire she had gotten from the prince just last night, along with the choker necklace that he had forgotten to give her on Earth.
It was black with a single jewel in the middle. The gem hung slightly off the choker. the red of the ruby competed with that of Eva's lusterous crimson eyes.
The clothes made her feel like she was walking around in her pajamas. Never the less, they were very comfortable. It was a bit strange, she felt like a boy, wearing baggy clothes such as the ones she was currently wearing, but she also felt like a girly-girl, with all the frilly colors and designs. Molly fiddled with her necklace as she took long, slow, calm strides.
As the human girl passed an open doorway she heard, "good morning Earth princess!" came a loving cry, "may I ask where you are going for today?" the prince's sparkling cerulean eyes met her shining ruby ones. Eva smiled while saying, "I'm jus' gonna walk around for a while. Care to join me?!" she winked at him as she kissed her middle and index fingers and made a crooked peace sign. "I would but sadly my parents have been telling me that I have been putting off my duties as prince of Nourasia." Aikka sighed.
"I think I know the feeling. It's kind of the same way with my dad when I don't clean my room." Molly played.
The prince followed along, "you don't have house maids?" he joked. The red and black haired girl giggled. She said her goodbye and walked on.
Eva wandered about, finding many interesting rooms to explore. She came about a spell book wondering if she was able to use it. Molly found an interesting spell, tried it, felt some energy in her and…..Nothin'! Board and a little upset, she walked around some more.
She was absent minded, wondering of how her father was doing. This made Eva's head droop a bit. The girl suddenly became homesick. She didn't have any way to contact the racing manager. Thinking of that saddened the teen even more.
It really had been a long time. Quite a few days actually. She was eager to go home but just as eager to stay. Going back had its ups and downs; one advantage she had in going home was that she'd see her dad and her friends; the disadvantage was Don and his sidekick Daniel. The scumbags had the nerve to tease, pick, scratch, pester, and perturb her! Like Aikka, they called her "princess" but not the way nor the reason Aikka would! Daniel was a selfish, rude, spiteful little monster and his henchman was just as bad!
Just the same, if she stayed here Eva would never have to see those creeps again. She'd be with Aikka and be happy. But, she'd also be away from her friends who cared for her and would listen to her stories though they didn't believe her. She'd never see her dad or the mechanics or the ex-pilot, who acted like Molly's older brother, ever again.
By this time Eva had gotten to the balcony of a room. (This room really isn't worth explaining.) She looked out from the edge of it. "Nourasia is so peaceful. It's nothin' like the cities on Earth."
"You're right, it's not." Said a familiar girl with reddish-pink hair and magenta/pink eyes, "are you just now figuring this out or have you been thinking that you never left Earth?!" Eva lifted her head from her arms at the sound of her friend Emimi. "Emimi! You're back!" she exclaimed as she turned to her friend. Eva rushed to embrace her friend. Emimi teleported herself behind her Earthen friend, leaving Eva very confused. "Eva, I've got some really bad news."
"w-what's going on?" she asked concerned and dazed.
"You might want to sit down my friend." Eva did as she was commanded. "Miss. Wei, your dad, he died in a car crash." Emimi told her friend grimly. Tears started welling in Molly's eyes. She basically collapsed on the ground, crying her heart out. The Martian did the best she could to comfort her friend, but could not do anything worthwhile. On her home world, Martians lived forever unless killed. That's why she couldn't say anything to comfort her friend, because no one in her family had died. She hugged Eva tight and stroked her back. but nothing she could do would work.
A small teardrop fell to the ground from the magenta/pink eyes of the girl. She was upset for Eva. It was hard on her friend, now being an orphan. Emimi decided to leave Eva to her thoughts and tell Aikka of the grimacing news. She knew that the prince would be able to calm that tattooed faced girl.
later that night
Night had fallen, Eva now stood at the edge of the balcony. She thought of the recent news, the news of her father. Don Wei, of Wei Racing, was dead. Molly was now an orphan at the age of sixteen. Her salted tears now mixed with that of the pure lagoon water below.
Aikka watched his beloved from afar. He was taking in her pain, her suffering. The prince could feel the hardship building inside her. He could not take it any longer! Aikka lept from his rooftop perch, flowers in his hand.
Eva heard what sounded like someone waving a flag. As if they were mourning her father as she did. Someone was there alright, but this person did not carry a flag no; they carried an alien bouquet. Eva turned to see her boyfriend, tears still pouring from her eyes.
Aikka longed to see that same loving smile she gave him earlier that day. It pained him to see such a strong willed person as her, the way she was now. He looked away for a brief moment, holding back his own tears as he did so. In his palace life he had been able to hold back his emotions. But this, this was too much for him.
"I've heard the news, I am truly sorry for you my princess." prince Aikka cooed.
"I don't know what to do Aikka! I can't go home!" she sobbed and sniffled. Eva bowed her head in sorrow.
"First," he said warmly while lifting her chin up with two ever-so-light fingers, "you must stop crying. It pains me to see you like this. Second, you must realize that you are home. Though you do not have our blood, you are a true Nourasian in my eyes. Stay as long as you wish." He said softly.
Molly soon noticed the flowers in Aikka's hands. The prince, having noticed that she spied them, extended them to her. The tears stopped as she took them, smelled them and laid them on the ground.
Eva then threw herself into the prince's arms. The sobbing was even heavier now. He held her close and tight, as if he had come close to losing her. Aikka shuddered at the shear thought of it.
He nudged the starred side of her cheek. The prince kissed her forehead, then her cheek, and finally her lips. Eva lidded her eyes shut as she fell asleep and swooned into his arms. Aikka carried her to her room, bridal style. He laid her in bed and stared at her. Her lumber was peaceful, but her face was sad. Aikka laid down next to her. Being by her side for the night in case she needed him. sleep stopped his mission and he closed his eyes for the rest of the night.
