A.N. Well, I'm feeling very happy now. I have finished my January Modules! Also, more people have made my story one of their favourites. I, therefore, give you a treat with my next chapter as I feel LOVED! Enjoy, and PLEASE REVIEW! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I'M DOING IS RIGHT! So, here, further ado, is my next chapter.

Chapter 10

"And who are you?"

At this the woman tied her hair back, and Jesse got his first good look at her face.

"L…Leslie?"

"Yes, Jesse. And you don't know how happy I am to see you, but we have more important things to do. The bomb destroyed this world, and left no hope. Evolved humans are captured and never heard of again."

"Why have you brought me here; and…why do you sound like you haven't seen me in years?"

"I need you to see what it is like here. You need to understand what to do in your time to prevent this. I am the key. I have gained the ability of intuitive aptitude. I understand what needs to be done, however it is a dangerous ability. There is a hunger that goes with it and causes you to need more power. I have it controlled…but at a cost. I can see that you are the key, Jesse; always have been, always will be as you are the one who can help me."

"H…how am I the one who can help you?"

"We share a link, Jesse, ever since we met, I had your ability, and it formed a link between us. We loved each other, and that means you are the only one who can bring me under control."

Jesse looked shocked by the revelation. He knew he had feelings for and loved Leslie, but he didn't realise how closely they were linked. Future Leslie let Jesse have his moment, but the thoughts were disrupted as she heard the approaching sound of sirens.

"Hell! Jesse, we need to go. We must have been spotted; homeland security is on the way!"

Jesse didn't have time to reply as Future Leslie grabbed him and teleported away.

Jesse landed and looked around. He immediately realised where he was.

"This is the Treeehouse in Terabithia, right."

Leslie nodded

"This is where I keep my main base, but I hardly ever come as I spend time working with Hiro, Niki and Noah. I need to keep links with all three sides of resistance. Hiro is trying to solve the timeline by creating a map of time, Niki hides Peter and Noah works with others to hide any new evolved humans. I am independent, but co-operative with all of them, more with Hiro as he is like me; alone."

Jesse sighed.

"Les…"

"ONLY LESLIE!"

"OK, OK, Leslie. You avoided my question earlier, what has happened to me?"

"I c…can't say. I don't look at the past, only to a way to save the future."

"huh – OK."

Leslie was silent for a moment as she looked at the map that covered the previous map of Terabithia that had stood there.

"Leslie?"

"Yeh?"

"What happened to my family?"

"They're gone. Homeland security is now headed by the telepath Matt Parkman. I got telepathy from him, and he was able to apprehend me early on. He tried breaking me to find information about Hiro. The Hatian was there, stopping me using my abilities. Only May Belle and Joyce Ann survived. The others were tortured to death. I was able to tap into the Haitian's ability inside me to negate him, but by then most of your family had been killed. May Belle and Joyce Ann are now in hiding, helped by Noah. He is like a father to me."

"I need to see them."

"Jes…"

"You won't talk about me, one of the others might, and by the sounds of it they could use some comfort."

Leslie sighed: "Alright. We will go see Noah, get the information."

And Leslie teleported them out.

"NO! Leslie, you asked me to hide them, keep them safe, away from this world. That's what I have done."

"Noah. I know what I said, but they are needed. Please, just give me the location."

"Leslie…"

"Please, Noah."

"Sigh – Alright. But I can't give anymore information; I have already endangered enough people…caused pain to enough people."

"Thanks, dad."

"Please, don't call me that, Leslie."

"OK. Thanks for this information, I won't forget this. This may help save the world."

"From what?"

"From this."

"Leslie; are you OK? I mean, having Jesse around…"

"Don't worry about me, Noah. I am already dead to the world; I just need to help it become better. Give it a better life. I owe it to Jesse; I need to pay my penance."

"You can't change what you did."

Future Leslie sighed and slowly left after this in silence, tears beginning to fall down her face as she returned to Jesse.

"They're with Molly Walker in Odessa, Texas. We must go now if we wish to see them. They may help you understand. I'm sorry that you're still here and have to do this; but you must understand."

Jesse wasn't listening as he silently grabbed onto Future Leslie as they vanished to Odessa.

*********************************************************************

Future Leslie and Jesse

Odessa, Texas

"Jesse, we need to be extremely careful around here. The government has been keeping an eye around the old Primatech facility, knowing we may try and come here. They apparently live in the old Bennet House."

"I don't care about the history; just let me go see them."

"Jesse…there's something you should know, before you see them."

"LATER! I just want to see them now. They need to have comfort; they only have each other…and maybe me."

Future Leslie turned away at that last comment, a neutral look upon her face, tears silently staining her cheeks. Soon, they were outside the house and Jesse quickly knocked. A girl he didn't know came to the door; she looked about 15, and wore a t-shirt, bearing her midriff, and jeans.

"Hi Molly. We're here to see May Belle and Joyce Ann."

"Sigh – Leslie, why do you keep coming back to them?"

"I owe it to them, it's my fault they're alone; and I have someone for them to see."

Molly sighed as she let Leslie and Jesse in: "May Belle, Joyce Ann; there's someone here to see you."

Shortly after this, Jesse heard the sound of movement from upstairs as a 6 and a 13-year-old girl came down the stairs. Jesse was shocked by the appearance of his sisters. May Belle was in a t-shirt with a denim mini-skirt and leg warmers to her trainers, and Joyce Ann wore a dress to her knees with long socks and Mary-Janes on her feet. However, they were dirty, as if they hardly got to bathe.

Joyce Ann, as soon as she saw Leslie leapt down and screamed:

"Leslie!"

"Hey Joyce, how ya doin'?"

"Good, May Belle showed me some of her special things."

"Really? That's nice."

Then future Leslie turned to May Belle, who looked less happy to see her than Joyce Ann.

"Hey May Belle."

May Belle didn't reply, but turned to Joyce Ann and said

"Joycie, why don't you go into the sitting room, we'll be along in a bit, 'kay sis?"

"OK. Love you, sis."

"Love you to."

With this, Joyce Ann exited the room. May Belle watched as she went and as soon as the door closed, she turned to Leslie and frowned, saying

"What do you want this time?"

"May Belle…"

"Don't, Leslie. Don't make excuses. You always come with an ulterior motive, what is it this time?"

"I came to try and make some things right. I have brought someone you might want to see."

"I haven't wanted to see anyone except my family, Leslie. But they died. They died trying to get to you. If you…if you hadn't let it control you, they would still be here."

Tears stained May Belle's cheeks as she said this

"There is no-one I want to see. Anyone I want to see has gone."

"You may be glad to see this person, then. Can you come forward please, Jesse?"

"J…Jesse?!"

Jesse stepped forwards at this and said: "Yes, May Belle. It's me."

Tears of sorrow changed to tears of joy

"J…Jesse! I thought…wait a minute, you're younger than you should be. You're 12, you should be 17 by now. W…Why are you young?"

"May Belle, this Jesse is from 5 years ago, just before the bomb hit. He needs to understand what to do. He needs to know what happened to him. And…and…and I can't tell him. It is the encouragement he needs. I will be able to add something, but…but I need you to tell him what actually happened."

"Alright. Jesse, will you come and sit at the dining table with me. Molly, please will you look after Joycie?"

"Sure thing, May. Good Luck."

Jesse was slightly confused, but ready as he sat down at the table to hear what his fate was. Future Leslie stood at the edge of the room, while May Belle sat next to him, holding his hand. She tried several times to begin the story, but kept stumbling, until she finally found the courage.

"5 Years ago. 8th November. The bomb hit. One of the evolved humans exploded destroying New York. Y…you were in New York. You died in the explosion."

Tears were streaming down May Belle's face as she told this to Jesse. Future Leslie was also upset.

"Your death was what snapped me out of the hunger's control. I fought it, because I realised that had…had I fought it earlier, I would have been able to stop the explosion, I would have been able to save you."

Future Leslie had tears streaming down her face at this as Jesse held May Belle, trying to comfort her. However, Leslie soon stopped crying and looked serious as Molly rushed into the room.

"Homeland security is here. They are outside the doors and have back up over the road. They haven't brought the Haitian, only that man."

Leslie instantly knew she meant Parkman. He had once been special to her, but he had betrayed her.

"I'm sorry I've brought this trouble to your home. I shouldn't have come. May, you know what to do. Jesse, you need to go back home. You know now what must be done."

Jesse made a hasty goodbye to May Belle, who continued to be drowned in tears as she said goodbye to the only other family she had seen in many years, beside Joyce Ann, before she rushed out the room as homeland security burst in the door. One man yelled "FREEZE!" but Future Leslie grabbed him, teleporting them away before he could do or see anything.

Future Leslie and Jesse

Lark Creek

23rd October 2006 (Present)

Jesse was shocked as he appeared back in the Treehouse at Terabithia. It was abandoned now, and his Leslie was obviously off again.

"Do you now understand what must be done, Jesse?"

"Yes. I must bring Leslie back from the hunger. She isn't herself, and, unless she is brought back, the bomb will destroy everything."

"Pretty much. Sigh – Jesse, you know how much I missed you, don't let your Leslie make the same mistake. Remember, Save the Queen, Save the World. God, I really do sound like Hiro. I really must kill him for inventing that bloody cheerleader saying."

Jesse laughed at this, causing Future Leslie to smile.

"I really missed your laugh. Please, prevent the future from becoming the desolate place I showed you. I need you to save me. Goodbye Jesse. I hope I don't have to see you like this again."

And with a quick peck on the cheek, Future Leslie vanished, leaving Jesse alone with his thoughts. He now knew he had to prevent that horrible future from occurring. He had to save his Queen.

Hope this makes sense. Now we know what Jesse must do. But is there more that Leslie didn't tell us, and what has she been up to? Thanks for reading. I will update as soon as possible, but I won't make any promises. Please review. Also, I have now decided on the result of my poll. It was tied, so I have just gone with where the story led me.
