Hey! Some Random gal here! I'm back! And I'm so sorry I took so long. New school year and a bit of homework, not to mention I have a few other stories I have to write as well. Haha. But I will make up for the wait you had to endure. Lumina isn't going to say anything. She's refusing to talk to me for some reason.

Lumina-You know the reason you…*mumble mumble*

Me-What was that?

Lumina-…

See? I'm hurt.

Lumina-Liar…

I actually like you better not talking to WITH THE STORY!!!!!

The Mystique in Our Relationship

Chapter 12

I don't know where I'm going and I don't care. As long as I can get get away from there. I collapse near a cliff, the raining beating down on me. I got muddy and wet but it doesn't matter. Lightening strikes and it begins to rain harder. This environment suits me, I thought. I stand up. My legs are wobbly from all the running and thegrass is slippery with mud. I look up to the dark rainy sky. Lightening strikes again and the cliff shook. Next it breaks, and I fall with it. I hit the water hard. I can't swim; I'm going to drown…

Sari's POV

I'm being swept out into the ocean. I'm going under, Lumina's scream of surprise muffled by the water. But she doesn't jump in. I'm on my own. After a while I go back up. I eagerly gulp in the air and look at the shore with the few seconds that I have. It's very far away and Lumina isn't there. I go under again. I lose hope. He won't come. He won't save me twice in a row. My vision is fading to black…Skye…Why am I thinking about him in a time like this? Is it because I thought I saw his light aqua eyes stare at me with concern?

Lumina's POV

OMIGOD!!! I just pushed Sari out into the sea. I didn't mean to! It was an accident! 'Oh!' She's being swept out at a fast speed. I can't swim. I'll…I'll go get help. But will Sari live for that long...? DON'T THINK LIKE THAT LUMINA! It's getting dark. It'll be harder if I don't get help soon. I saw the Phantom Thief walk by but I don't care. Not in a situation like this. I turn back to the ocean. 'I'm going to get help Sari!' I scream, but I don't think she heard me.

Skye's POV

I come into the valley. I was certain that Sari was by the Goddess Pond dipping her feet in the water and staring up at the moon and stars or the flowers. I decided to take the long way, to see her reaction if I'm late. As I pass the beach, I see the rich girl, Lumina. She sees me as well, but she doesn't scream "Thief!" at me like she usually does. Instead, she turned herself to face the ocean.

'I'm going to get help Sari!' She screams and then runs pass me without a second glance. Sari needs help? I run to the beach and look put to the ocean. I don't see anything…Wait! There she is! She is so far off. I dive into the water. I just manage to reach her. She was unconscious when I did. I hook one arm around her waist and then drag her back to the shore.

Normal POV

Skye finally reached the shore. He carefully placed Sari on his lap. She is still unconscious and slight pale. What do I do?

'Can't be helped then.' He lifted Sari's head and gave her CPR. He held her there for a while, breathng into her. When he finally detached himself, Sari still didn't move. But then, a few seconds later, she gave a big gasp. She slowly opened her eyes, but Skye saw that she was only half conscious.

'…Boy?' She whispered hoarsely.

'It's me, Skye.'

'Boy, you saved me twice now.' Skye blinked, confused. Who was this "boy she was talking about? Sari lifted a hand and stroked his cheek. 'Now…I can finally…thank…you.' And she fell asleep, her arm dropping

(I was going to stop the chapter here, but then I thought "That doesn't seem right." So BE GRATEFUL! Continue reading.)

Rock's POV

I was at the bottom floor of the inn, just lazing about when Lumina suddenly burst in.

'Rock!' she cried breathlessly and desperately, coming over and pulling at my shirt. 'Sari's drowning.' My mind stopped for a second before my legs worked on their own accord and I burst out of the inn, running toward the beach, Lumina next to me.

'How is she drowning?' I yelled. Lumina didn't answer me and she avoided my gaze. 'Never mind. You go get Doctor Hardy.' Lumina nodded dumbly and ranoff without a word.

I got to the beach and I couldn't believe what I saw: Skye was sitting there, dripping wet, with Sari lying on his lap! I felt something inside me. I was like a burning twinge. It was… "It's jealousy." I heard a voice say in my head. I shook it off and approached him. Sari was asleep on his lap and Skye was either brushing the hair out of her face or caressing her cheek, I couldn't tell. 'Hey Skye!' He turned with a jolt. But immediately relaxed when he saw it was me.

'Well good evening. What are you doing ot so late?'

'I was going to save Sari.'

'Well, it seems that there is no need for you to anymore.' Gently, he lifted Sari in his arms. The burning twinge returned.

'Back off!' I growled. Skye cocked his head innocently.

'That is some gratitude. If I haven't have come, Sari would've drowned ages ago.' I glared at him, but I didn't reply to his statement. He was right.

'They're over here.' Lumina!

'Well, I must be off.' In a flash, he had put Sari in my arms. I didn't even realise he had until he took a step back. He turned to leave, the abruptly stopped and turned back to me. 'You know, if you have feelings for Sari, you better tell her. Before I…' Something lingered on the end of that sentence, but I was too angry and shocked to care.

'What did you just say?!" I yelled, but I was just met with silence. The Phamtom Thief already left. Lumina and Doctor Hardy arrived and Lumina ran up to me.

'Rock, thank goodness you saved her!'

'…Um…actually…'

Sari's POV

It's warm. It's soft. I wake up. I'm in a bed. I see three faces: Doctor Hardy, Rock and Lumina. I jumped at Lumina's face. Rock came and blocked my view.

'How did you drown?' I took a brief glance at Lumina. She looked apologic, but at the same time pleading.

'…I tripped.' I replied. It was a bit of the truth. I did trip on a sighed, exasperated.

'Geez…when were you clumsy?'

'Did you save me?'

'Well…no. Skye did.' I felt my heart skip a beat. Skye?!

'Where is he?' I asked a bit too eagerly. Rock stared at me, taking in my reaction.

'He left…' I sighed. Doctor Hardy then stepped up.

'You have a minor sprain in your ankle, so it's fine. But I suggest you don't overdo it.'

'But I can still run the ranch, right?' I asked hopefully. Doctor Hardy smiled.

'Of course.' As I left his house, Lumina stopped me. I felt myself tense up as she approached.

'Hey.' She said softly, laced with guilt.

'…' My voice wouldn't work. What do you say to a girl that almost (accidently…?) drowned you?

'Look, I'm sorry about that.' She said quickly. 'I just panicked back there and…yeah.' Trhe way she is awkwardly finishing her sentences told me she's not used to apologies. 'So, to make up for it, the answer to your question before is……….yes.' I continued to stare and she sighed. 'I might be…a bit jealous of you.' I smiled.

'Ok, you're forgiven.' She looked up, gave me a grateful smile and left. I began to head to my ranch. So…Lumina has a crush on Rock…

Rock's POV

Now that I've calmed down, I was able to think about what Skye said before he disappeared. "If you have feelings for Sari, you better tell her. Before I…' I thought a bit about how the sentence was about to end. Then I remembered what thieves do best. "Before I steal her away…'

Skye's POV

I stared as Sari hobbled back to her ranch. I then stared at Rock as he walked back to the inn. He obviously likes her. I can't believe Sari hasn't realised it yet. Not that I care but…I absentmindedly put my fingerson my lips. They still tingled from…the CPR. Did I just almost think kiss? I tried to brush it off, but the fuzzy feeling in my chest won't go away. And when I see that Rock boy with her I just get…angry. Like that time at the hotspring. (I masked it well.) I continued to wonder, but I can't answer. When Sari got into her house safely, I decided to go home. I don't feel like stealing tonight.

SIGHHHHH! LONG! But I guess that's a good thing so I can't complain. And Lumina, I made Sari forgive you. Happy?

Lumina-yes, I am. *sips tea*

-_-''…is that all you have to say?

Lumina-*continues to sip tea*
