Chapter 13:
The Truth
(Ambary's POV)
Then we took the Seeker to Doc's place and make sure that she was out.
- She's out.- say Doc. Solomon, Seto, Atem and Sam were here with me. She knew what I was going to do but, the most strange part was that… she want to die with me.
-Are you really going to leave me?- she ask me.
- I have no other choice. I broke the rule.- I say to her.
- It was best. They could have kill her if you didn't tell them that.- say Sam.
- So, you're not going to stop me?- I ask her.
- No, because… I'm going with you.- say Sam walking toward me until she was in front me.
- No, you're not going with me, I would not let you die with me.- I say to her.
- Do you really thing that I will be fine? Seeing that my only sister is going to leave me? I'm going with you, even if you don't want it. I could never live without you. We lost our parents… I lost them. I don't want to lose you too. So what a better way that… going with you.- say Sam smiling at me.
- Would you really do that?- I ask her. She only nod and we hug each other because maybe this will be the last time that we will ever hug each other in these bodies.
- So you don't want us to kill the Seeker. She kill Tristan, and how many others. She wouldn't blink on putting you in us.- say Solomon.
- It's been to much killing. Not death. Exile.- I say to him.
- You want us to forgive her? Let her go, just like that.- say Solomon.
- Yes.- I say and went toward my bag and took out the cryotank. - We Souls can leave the same way we arrive. I would send her away. By the time she reaches another planet… your grandchildren will die at old age.- with that I put down the cryotank and make Doc follow me. I grave a silver container and spray it in her neck, Doc later cut a little of her neck. I put the container back and only got closer to her wound.
- You have always try to take it by force, the secret is… you do not remove it. It removes itself.- I say while I start to see that the creature was coming toward the wound. - It comes out. You have always seen us as the enemy, they can feel the hate. It can only be capture by kindness… love.- then the Soul was out and in my hands, she was shinning very brightly. - Atem, help me.- I say to him and he walk toward me. I give him the Soul in his hands while I went toward the cryotank. Went I look back I see that he was smiling and I under stock that… he will never hurt it. I put the cryotank closer to her and then it open, she enter it and the cryotank close. Then we hear someone. We turn around and see that the body was moving. She sit up and start to cry of happiness.
- Thank you.- she say to me.
- What's your name?- ask Solomon also happy.
- I'm Mai. My name is Mai. I have always been lock inside for years, nobody could hear me.- say Mai.
- You're the reason why she wouldn't leave me alone.- I say to her.
- Yes, she wasn't just after humans. She was hoping to find a way to fight the hosts. Like me and… you and Kisara. Who will fight back.- say Mai. With that I told Seto and Atem to take me to the city where we could send her away.
At Night…
We reach the camp were the coordinates of the universe was. I could feel that they were amaze of what they were seeing. Sam was next to me and she only smile at me. I put the cryotank on a pillar of light and it's lines that were up vanish, the coordinates to the cryotank were ready.
"Have a safe trip."- I say to her.
'And a long one.'- say Kisara while we watch it leave toward the sky. Then we return to cave and I was talking to Mokuba, Seto, Atem, Solomon and Doc. Sam already knew what I need to do and she was next to me.
- Always send the Souls to the most distance planets.- I say to Mokuba. I have draw the image of the circle that we went before.
- Amber. Do you miss it out there? The other worlds?- he ask me.
- I miss many things… don't you miss Kisara? Don't you want your sister back?- I ask him.
- She's here now.- say Mokuba.
'You know that he's right.'- say Kisara.
- Not the way she needs to be.- I say to him - I think… I think is time to move on.
- Leave us?- he ask me.
- Yes.- I say to him forcing a smile in my face.
- But… you can always come back, right?- he ask me. Then he see my hurt face and he under stock it in that moment. Then I turn to look at the others.
- I ask you here so no one will shout.- I say to them.
'I wish I could shout loud enough for them to hear.'- say Kisara. Then I walk toward Sam and she was next to me.
- As soon as I knew what to do with the Seeker… I knew that there was a way for all of you to get your love ones back, without hurting the Souls. But of course… I knew that I have to give Kisara back to herself… and leave.- I say.
- You can't happen, Amber. We need you.- say Atem.
- Us or you?- ask Seto.
'Tell them the truth. Your not leaving this world. Tell them what you're really going to do.'- say Kisara.
- Now that you have this knowledge how to extract a Soul from a body, you can survive without me.- I say.
- What does Kis say?- ask Seto.
- She's always wanted her life back.- I say.
'Don't speck for me.'- say Kisara angrily.
- Your lying.- say Atem looking at me.
- I have to go.- I say already leaving.
- You don't have to decide right now, think about it.- say Solomon looking at me. - Just promise that you'll think about it.
- There's nothing to think about.- I say it and leave.
Some Time Later…
I was in the field and I grab some dirt, and feel it in my hands before I leave. I didn't notice that in my feet the ground was beginning to turn green. I let go of the dirt and hear something coming toward me.
- You are not leaving me.- say Atem from behind me.
- I can't stay.- I say finally and I turn to look at him.
- But I like you.- say Atem and that brake my heart even more.
- I love you.- I say at last.
- Don't say it like your saying goodbye.- his voice sound hurt and he came toward me, now in front of me.
- I love you everyway that I can. I would miss you the most. I'll miss the future that I would have with you.- I say.
- You wouldn't have to sacrifice that.- he say.
- Sometimes we have to make sacrifices.- I say.
- No, I wouldn't let you go. I wouldn't. Let me talk to Kisara.- he say to me.
- She's not there right now. She step in the other room, so I could kiss you.- I say to him. It was the only thing that I could give him. We look at each other and then we kiss each other. He let my face go while I put my hands in his neck and he put his hands around my waist. He crush me and we make as much deeper the kiss could be and slower to enjoy it. Then we pull away for air and we hug each other, I want to cry but, I knew that it was time. Then we look again and I give him another kiss, later I walk away from him. Then I look for Sam who was with Yami in this moment. They seem like talking very happily with each other until she see me. She notice that I want to cry and her smile disappear and run toward me. She hug me while I let the tears fall. then I only smile at her that it was time and she turn to look at Yami saying goodbye to him with her hand. Then we head toward Doc's place, then we found Seto in our way. I say to Sam that she could go on ahead and that I will soon follow her. Seto look at her and later to me.
- Where are you going?- he ask me.
- I'm going to see Doc.- I say to him.
- Can't you just wait for tomorrow?- he ask me.
- This can't take much longer, the sooner the better.- I say to him.
- Is there a thing that I can do?- he ask me, walking toward me and almost crushing me into the wall.
- Tell me a lie.- I say to him which he look surprise about it. - Tell me that you don't want me to leave.
- Amber…- he start to say and later he have his hands on my face. - I don't want you to leave, don't go. I need you.- and with that he kiss me. His kiss was much more longer than before until we were out of breath.
- Thank you.- I say and then I run toward Doc's place.
- Wait.- he call me but, I was already gone. By the time I reach there Sam was already in the bed or only her body, Doc have her in his hands and I took her in mine and put her in an empty bed. Then he pull another empty bed so I could lie down. I just hope that Sam will wait for me just any longer.
- I really can't talk to you about it?- he ask me.
- No, it's time. I want to die. If you have live a millennium always in the body of another you might feel the same way yourself.- I say to him and he left to get the tools.
'Amber, my sister.'- say Kisara.
"Yes sister."- I say.
'Please don't do this.'- say Kisara.
"Don't you want to be with Seto and Mokuba?"- I ask her.
'It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to die. You really could go to another world, the way that you have been telling everyone.'- say Kisara.
"Thank you but… by the time I reach to the closest planet… you, Mokuba, Seto, Atem… will be long death. Everyone in this world I care about… will be long death. I don't want to go on with out you. I love you Kis."- I say to her.
'You're the purest Soul… human or not… that I have ever met. The universe will be a darker place without you.'- say Kisara.
"Be happy Kis. Be happy that… after living so many lives… I finally found something to die for."- I say while I cry.
- Goodbye.- we say at the same time and then I close my eyes and let my last tear to left my eyes.
