Turning Your Back
Chapter 13: War Preparations
Jasmine's Point of View:
It hadn't taken long for Cobi to drive us the rest of the way back to my home planet of Yonux 12. It had been long since I had seen her beauty, the golden fields where I used to play with my best friends, the green fields where we watched the flowers grow, the waterfalls and rivers where we used to swim, the crystal caves where we use to play hid and seek. The old memories of these many places of my home raced by my eyes as I saw them once again while we flew over head.
My village I had grew up in and my castle stood firmly behind the stone walls that kept out wild animals, and in the past, assassins and enemy kingdoms. I remember climbing that wall with my two best friends, and then having the place guards climb up to try to get us down when we refused. We'd spend hours up there until the guards finally had enough and grabbed ladders to reach us, only to have us crawl away from them. It was only when my father, mother or brother came down from the palace to get me and my friends down that we would finally listen.
Our ship flew into the palace walls and landed in the court yard. When we opened the door, June flew out with Nova in her arms, and Cobi and I were right behind her. I saw many of the old servants of the castle as I ran by, all with tears in there eyes, all reflecting the very face I wore now. I needed Nova to be alright, she saved me from what I thought was going to be my permanent hell, and haven't had a chance to repay her yet.
I suddenly felt an arm hold me back and I pulled myself out of my thoughts to see some of the maids holding me back from the room that Nova was just taken into, moved from June's arms into a doctor's and they closed the door behind them. I tried to pull forward to stay with her, but I was still held back and soon Cobi and June helped them hold me back as well.
"Let me be with her!" I shouted over their soothing words, trying to calm me. "I have to be with her!"
"Jasmine, you're just going to get in the way." June said. "Let the doctors do what they gotta do to save her."
"You don't understand June!" I snapped, lunging at her, only to be held back by my lover. "She saved me from that hell, the darkness that stole my life! I can't just wait around for someone else to do what I have to do!"
"And what can you do?" She snapped back at me. "It's not like you can heal wounds with the Power Primate!"
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO!" I screamed at her. I changed my body into and electrical charge and escaped all their grasped when my energy slipped threw their fingers and I raced threw the locked doors.
Lamps hung over the work bench as I saw the doctors had pulled out the bullet from Nova's back. Some of them were startled when they saw me jolt threw the door cracks and into the room. The one doctor that had taken Nova from me continued to work on her and never lifted up his head.
"Get out of here Princess, there's nothing you can do." He sighed and stepped away from her body and toward me; blood was poured out over his hands and 'doctor clothes'. "She's too far gone to help now."
"Then move." I growled darkly at him. He stepped back away from the Nova's body and I stepped forward. If there was one thing that Nova got into my head when she was training me, it was that nothing is impossible for one who tries hard enough.
I raised my hands over Nova's nearly lifeless body, and I tried to build up the energy in my hands. Not violent like I normally use it, but softer, gentler. A way to put back together what was torn apart. My hands then glowed a bright green color; my pure Power Primate Energy was at my hands and not my Elemental Power Primate. I held my hands over Nova's gun shot wound and slowly distributed the energy into her body where the wound was, feeling my energy working in her body like stitching, stitching together the skin and keeping the blood from flowing anymore.
"Please don't die Nova!" I begged. I felt the tears continue to slip from my glassy eyes. I suddenly felt energy erupt form her body and six energy spirits left Nova's body, each one a different color. Orange, Pink, Silver, Blue, Green and Red. They soon changed into shapes and I saw that they were the spirits of the Hyper Force. They all looked around at their surroundings before their eyes landed on Nova's body as I using all my energy I had to heal it.
"Nova!" The red spirit, Sprx yelled. His spirit raced toward us and he tried to place a hand on her check, but it went right threw her face. "What's going on?"
"The last thing I remember was that Nova took the medicine at the station on Yron." The blue spirit, Gibson muttered while floating down to us as well, looking at my hands as I kept trying to heal her. "You can heal, Princess Jasmine?"
"I guess I can." I said to him. More tears began to pour and I turned my head to wipe them away so I wouldn't pull away my hands from Nova's bleeding being. "I fell like I'm healing her, but I still feel like I'm not healing her completely. Can you help me?"
"I can Miss Jasmine." Said the silver spirit, Antauri. He floated over to me, and even as a spirit, he used his own power to show me how to guide my energy to heal. "Nova has taught you well Jasmine."
"She did, with fighting and to believe that nothing is impossible." I replied back. "I never knew I could heal others, just fight."
"That is one thing that I see Nova was not able to teach you yet." He replied. "You never stop learning young Jasmine, even after you have passed every test you and others can think of, more are out there and your powers, being the Power Primate, are endless. I am surprised that you are able to tap into that power, though with the current situation, it makes it more believable."
I gasped slightly when I felt movement under my finger tips. I turned away from the team and looked at my mentor, her breathing became faster.
"She's waking up!" Gibson said. "Make sure she can't get up or all that hard work you spent in healing her will be for nothing when she tears open her wounds again!" I nodded and used one of my arms to hold her down why still keeping my hands over her back wound.
"What happened?" I heard her whispered. She started jerk when she couldn't get up, but somewhat calmed when she saw Sprx's spirit standing in front of you.
"It's alright Nova. Princess is the one who's holding you down. You took a gun shot to the back." He told her. He tried to touch her face again, but failed once more as his hand did nothing more then run threw he head again. "They said you weren't going to make it."
"Then how am I alive?" She asked.
"It's all because of Jasmine." The pink spirit, Jinmay said.
"Yeah, she healed you!" The green spirit, Otto said. "Well, not completely, but she did some!"
"Jasmine has discovered some healing powers from the Power Primate." The orange spirit, Chiro translated for Nova.
My mentor nodded her head and then turned to look at me over her shoulder from where she laid on her stomach. "And when did you learn how to heal? Have you been practicing behind my back again?"
"No, and I just found out a few minutes ago when I heard you were going to die." I replied. She looked sadly over at me before she unsteadily lifted a hand to hold onto mine.
"You ain't gonna lose me that easily girly, when I get better, I'm doubling your practice time." I groaned at her order and the team around us laughed before the doors that led to outside where my lover and best friend were opened and the palace guards came in with my brother.
I stood at his arrival. Other then looking older and wiser, he hadn't changed much. His onyx hair was still in his face and his ocean blue eyes were still as bright as they had been years ago, though a hard look was settled upon his face. He was dressed in normal blue jean shorts and a sky blue sleeveless shirt.
"Sister, how is your mentor?" He asked me calmly.
"She is.. better now, but she needs a soft bed and what not to heal properly. If you would allow me Brother, I would like to have her placed in my room where I can keep an eye on her throughout the night and heal her more too." I said to him.
He nodded and motioned forward Cobi and June. "Bell warriors; please take Master Nova to my sister's bedroom and make sure she has everything she needs. I need to speak to my sister in private." They nodded and slowly picked up Nova. Being careful of her back and moved her off in the direction of these longs hallways I remember running through so long ago. Gabriel held out his hand for me. "Come Sister, we shall speak in my private study." I nodded and took his hand, letting him lead me threw the home I once knew so well to the many rooms that we all studies, but only one was Gabriel's.
The one that he led me in was so much more filled then the last time I had seen him. Last time I saw, he only had a few books shelves filled, now there were multiple bookcases filled to the brim, with some falling over the edges. Walls were mostly covered by these books and bookshelves and there was only one window and a large desk that was covered in paperwork.
My brother shut the door to his study and locked it before he rushed over to me and brought me tightly in his arms. "Oh Jasmine, I'm so glad your safe, that your alive."
"Of course I am Gabey." I whispered in the side of his neck. "You don't really think that I would get hurt out there, did you?"
"You don't know how long I've searched and waited for you to return Jasmine, so long since I saw you. So long since you were taken, I've missed you, as did Mother and Father before they passed."
"I truly am sorry for taking so long to get back Gabe, but you know it takes a long time to get by some people." I whispered. "Oh no, Lediture!" I pulled roughly from his embrace with me and started to pace.
"What is it Jasmine?"
"Lediture, the man who captured me, he's probably going to try and get to us inside the wall here and kill our people in order to do it. I remember hitting him pretty hard when I pulled off my 'Electric Mind Scream' at him and he hit his head, but knowing him, he'll be better before we can ever get ready to make a stance."
"Then we better start preparing for a war." My brother told me, walking toward the door of the study and unlocking it. "Will you aid me Sister?"
"Of course, my king." He rolled his eyes at my joke and I giggled at bit before Gabe and I cleared out.
Witch's Note:
I know that this is kinda short for a chapter, but the more happy things for us (readers and writers, maybe others) is when Lediture dies, lets hope he does.(Hint, hint!)
Also, I have a big thanks to say to Starfire 16 and HBee16 for the questions you guys gave me, if you want to add more, be my guest. I have less then ten anyway, not including my new story question.
Question of the Chapter: What's your favorite stone? Like a birthstone, those shiny stones?
My Answer to the Question: I love Amethyst the most because of it's a purple color.
