Hey, I'm Lugrpa, and since itsthetruth and I have become very good friend, we decided to write a chapter for each other's stories! So she wrote a chapter for mine, so here's mine for her story! You all should read this and reveiw, Thanks!
"It's not his baby, is it?" Mai asked Maria, surprisingly calm.
The look on Maria's face was pure gold. Her cheeks flushed a bright red as she tried to stammer out a reply. "I-I, It's..." She took a deep breath. "No. It's not."
A huge sigh escaped from Mai's lips. "Why the fuck are you leading him on then?"
Luke entered the room and Maria ran out crying. "What's up with her?" Luke asked.
"Take a bloody guess. The answer is sure to shock you." Mai laughed bitterly.
Luke raised an eyebrow at her. "Do I even want to know?" He took a step towards Mai.
Mai took a step back. "I think It's better if you knew." Luke took another step forward and backed Mai into a corner.
"Why don't you tell me then, Mai?" Luke lifted his hand and placed it on Mai's cheek.
Mai slapped his hand away. "I can't bloody do this anymore Luke! You need to get it through your head that there is NOTHING between us anymore! The only reason I came back is to let you know our son is alive."
Luke shook his head and sighed. "And all you got to hear is how I'm going to be a dad for Maria's baby."
Mai's heart pounded and squeezed her eyes shut. "Right."
A wave of realization swept over Luke. "It's not my baby. Is it?"
Mai ran out of the room, but before she slammed the door she muttered. "Doesn't matter anyways, does it?"
Downstairs, Mai found Maria sitting on the couch. Maria snapped her head up to look at Mai. "You." Maria pointed at Mai. "I want you out of this house! Every time you show up, you ruin my life! LEAVE US ALONE!"
Mai gritted her teeth. "Gladly." Mai plugged in coordinates on her Vortex manipulator. Before she transported away, she looked at Maria with dead eyes. "Luke knows." And with that Mai was gone.
One month later...
Mai sighed and plopped herself down on the couch, holding a picture of her and Sam. She let out a sigh. "I know you're out there. Wherever you are, I promise you. I will find you."
Then came a knocking on the door. Mai shifted in her seat, wondering who it could be. The knocking got louder. "Fine, fine. I'm coming!" Under her breath she muttered, "Bloody hell."
When she opened up the door, there stood Rani, Clyde and Sky. "MAI!" They all yelled, engulfing her in a group hug.
Mai couldn't help but smile. "Hi. What are you all doing here?" Maybe they didn't notice it, but there was a small trace of annoyance in Mai's voice.
"You need to come back. Luke hasn't come out of his room for days!" Rani ranted.
"He's not eating either. Ever since you left, he's been awful! Maria just pissed him off, and Maria is spending less and less time at the house. Hardly ever comes back!" Clyde mentioned.
"Good riddance to her." Sky yelped. I smiled and laughed at Sky. "You need to come back Mai!" Sky pleaded.
"I don't want to see Luke. He does this every time. He loves me, leaves me, then needs me all of a sudden? No! I don't bloody work like that!" I snapped.
"Mai, you have to. I'm worried about my brother!" Sky cried.
Mai took a deep breath, and let it out slowly. "Fine. If anything happens though, I have to freedom to leave. Understand?"
They all nodded. "We can use my vortex manipulator. Faster that way. Grab on!" And within seconds they were back in the attic. Rani, Clyde and Sky all left the room to give Luke and Mai some space.
Mai walked over to Luke, who had his head under his pillow. She sat nervously on the edge of the bed. "Erm, hi." She said casually.
Luke sat up, tossing the pillow aside. "Mai." He said, a bit taken back by her presence.
"Care to explain why you've locked yourself in here?"
"I've been so careless. I lost you once, then I lost you again. Now this? Mai I've made up my mind. I want you. No, I need you!" Luke confessed.
"Luke listen. First of all, I'm not up for all this cheesy stuff." She made a fake gagging sound. She really didn't do romantic stuff. "Second, you can't treat me like I'm just a game. I have feelings, well, I used to. You can't take me one day, and leave me the next. If you say you've made up your mind, you have to bloody well mean it, or else I'm gone for good." Mai warned.
"Mai please." Luke started to say.
"THIRD! Stop with all the 'Mai please.' It's insanely annoying!" Mai laughed. A small smile tugged at the corner of Luke's lips.
"Does this mean you'll give me a second chance?" Luke asked hopefully.
"You mean a fourth chance. And no. It means I'm willing to be your friend again. That's all for now. It also means, you need to help me find our son."
Luke sighed. "Will there ever be anything between us again?"
"You mean romantically? Possibly." Mai winked, causing Luke to blush. Before anything further could happen, a blue light flashed in the room. There stood a woman, dressed in all black, holding a small baby.
"Well well well. What do we have here?" Kovarian laughed wickedly.
"No. GIVE ME MY BABY!" Mai yelled. Hayn kicked in Kovarian's arms.
"I don't think so."
Luke lunged forward, and just as he was about to grab Hayn, Kovarian vanished.
