Lost
Chapter thirteen: Mystic
O
"Moontooth's" POV
10 years in the future...
I feel so thin as the dragon carries me...
So lifeless...
I'm not dead, but I am sure close to it...
My dad said once that no one has ever survived a "soul grab"...
Guess I'm the first... but I feel so weak...
Stupid self pity... urgh...
Roger "Moon" Woodstock's POV
"Present" time.
...silence...
I'm asleep... I think...
Damn it Artemis... couldn't you have warned me before you used that knock out spell or whatever that was...
My eyes are still shut by my heavy eyelids, but I know I gotta be awake since I can hear myself breath.
So I think I'm going to take this time to think through what happened so far...
Carmel might be in danger, in Mexico... Artemis got a crush at me...
The Time Stones are important somehow...
My dad is apparently alive...
I'm a part of an old ancient wolf race?
This is all too much...
"Oh... great, you're awake..."
My eyes finally open as I look over to the door, seeing the squirrel Sally walk in.
"Your girlfriend doesn't seem to be the best for question, so I hope you swallowed your attitude cause I got some question to you." She says as she walks over to the chair, sitting down.
"We found this in your shoe..." She says, holding out a knife. "Who are you really?"
"A simple man, who fights for the good." I say, chuckling over how cliché it sounds. "What about you guys?"
"Ever heard about the freedom fighters?" She asks me. "We are the real heroes."
I chuckle again at her saying, nodding.
"And you say I got an attitude? But yeah, I heard a bit about you guys now when I think about it. Sonic used to be one of you, correct?"
She nods at my question. "Know him?" She asks me and I nod in return.
"Yeah, he's the boyfriend of a friend of mine."
She sighs at my answer and shakes her head, this causing me to raise my eyebrow.
"You been with the guy... like close?" I ask, a chuckle leaving her lips.
"Don't go into my personal life and I wont get into yours, okey?" She says, standing up. "Now could you please tell me, why are you here? You want the Time Stones, but for what?"
I chuckle, shaking my head. "You believe I'm a bad guy, don't you?"
"Not really, I just don't trust you." She says, crossing her arms.
"And Artemis ain't my girlfriend, by the way..."
"Took you some time to answer."
I chuckle, looking back at her. "What happened with personal life?"
"We're even now." She says, shrugging with a smirk. "Just so you know, don't cause any trouble and don't boss anyone around."
"Because that's your job?"
She frowns at me, causing me to chuckle. This girl is easy to piss off, heh.
"Yes, I'm the leader. So watch your mouth."
I sigh, laying myself back down at the bed.
"Sorry, alright? I just... been through a lot." I tell her as I blink several times, still feeling tired.
"It's alright... I guess." She says shrugging before walking out. "In case you need me I'm right outside."
I hold my hand up, doing a thumbs up as I feel to lazy to use words.
"Oh, Moon you're awake." I hear a familiar voice say. I sigh and sit up again, seeing Artemis there again.
"What do you want?" I ask, trying to not sound too mean.
"Well I was wondering if you finally alright? Your wounds seemed healed."
Wounds? I look at my body and... yep, bandage and everything.
"When did I get this?" I ask, looking back at Artemis.
"The pinball machine and Metal Sonic." She explains, sitting down next to me on the bed. "I guess you didn't notice them, so that was the reason I knocked you out yesterday with that spell."
Oh...
"You didn't seem eager enough to go to sleep, and we needed those wounds healed so I had no choice. Forgive me?"
…
"Fine..." I simply say, earning a hug from her.
"I really do hope you don't hate me... but if you do it's understandable." She says before she lets me go, her expression looking a bit sad. "I am weird when I think about it..."
Artemis...
"You're not weird." I assure her, grabbing her hand to make her understand. "You are a wonderful person. A bit different and maybe not the smartest, heh, but you are wonderful. Really, you are."
She gives me a quick smile, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"You are just being nice..." She says, sighing. "Too nice..."
"No Artemis." I try to convince her, grabbing her hand. "I mean every word."
"Not your girlfriend, huh?" A voice speaks, dragging my attention to the door.
Oh, it's just that Sally woman...
"What do you want?" I ask, hearing her chuckle at the scene in front of her.
"Some old man in a robe just arrived, he wants to talk to you."
Huh?
Who can that be?
