Chapter 24
A Tragedy Legend
Alice P.O.V
The sky darkened as we walked.
"We need to rest, the earth village is still a 2 day trip." Dan said sitting down.
"Your right, I wish there was a hotel in this world." I said
"What about there." Runo pointed out at a big house.
"It's a Hot Spring." Marucho said.
"Oh! I know that Hot spring, it's the best one in Subterra Realm." Julie said.
"Why don't we go?" Runo asked.
"Ok!" we shouted, but Julie did a really tiny cheer, I wonder what's bothering her.
We got to the big house checked in and went to our rooms. The girls shared one while the boy's shared the one right infront of ours.
"This room is nice!" Runo said spinning around.
"Sure is." Julie said.
"Julie is something wrong you haven't been your normal self at all?" I asked her.
"Nothing's wrong." She said. "Oh! Look there are people getting ready for the hot spring we should too come on girls." She said going to the bathroom.
"Julie must still be a little depressed." Runo said.
"Huh?" I asked.
"About Billy, they were childhood friends, I was her childhood friend too, Billy hanged out with us a lot." Runo said.
"You and Julie were friends when you were younger?" I asked.
"Since the Haos and Subterra were right next to each other, I just rode on Towa-chan to get there, and for Julie she just used her earth powers to get there in a flash." She said.
"I see." I said. "How is Towa-chan right now?" I asked,
"Sleeping." Runo said, "She's not used to traveling that long." Runo said. "So should we get ready?"
"Yeah." I said.
(At the Hot Spring)
We changed into our swimsuits and off we went.
"This is nice." Runo said.
"We do need a break." I said. "The boys said let's meet up in the forest uphead, there happens to a legend you know about a ghost or something."
"Ghost!" Runo and Julie screamed
"Yeah. The boy's want to see it, plus we could ask if it knows about the stoned." I said.
"But there is no such thing as ghost's right?, maybe it's sprit" Julie asked.
"Uh..." I said and suddenly remembered the ghost in the cabin and when I thought but didn't kissed Shun. "Why am I still thinking about that, we didn't though!"
"Alice, you ok?" Julie asked.
"Your are warm as the Springs." Runo said.
"I'm fine, I'm just a bit scared and said a few things out loud heh." I said.
(With the Boys)
Shun P.O.V
We changed into our swimsuits and went to the springs.
"So you ready to see the ghost later!" Dan asked.
"Sure." Marucho said.
"Whatever." I said sitting on a rock, with only my feet in the water.
"Shun what's the attitude, aren't you excited?" Dan asked me.
"Nothing." I said. Remembering that time.
(At night)
Still Shun P.O.V
"Ready?" Dan asked.
"Yeah." We all said
"Let's go." Dan said leading the way.
Alice P.O.V
The boy's weren't scared at all, Julie and Runo hid behind me.
Then a crow flew by.
"Ah!" they screamed, grabbing me.
"It's just a crow guy's." I said. "Come on the guy's are doing a..." I stopped to see Dan and Marucho finding behind Shun.
"Huh?" I thought.
"Dan if you were so scared why was this your idea?" Shun asked.
"Well, I thought maybe it knows about the stone, but I think." He stopped as something rustled in the bushes.(Wind blowing the trees)
"Ah!"they all screamed except for Shun and I.
"Why don't you guys go back Shun and I will continue." I said.
"Ok." Runo said.
"Then see you guy's later." Marucho said, as they ran off.
"Jeez that Dan!" Shun complained, "Let's go."
"Ok." I said.
We walked and walked but it's nothing but endless trees.
"Hey, you doing ok?" he asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"You're not scared?" he asked.
"My brother told me legends and stuff all the time, I got used to it, plus, I'm not scared of anything!" I said.
"Sure. I bet you are though." He teased.
"What!" I shouted.
"Heh!" he laughed and ran off.
"Hey!" I shouted running after him.
As we approached a huge stone.
"What does it say?" I asked.
"It's the Legend." He said
"A girl and a boy, who were in love and did everything together, one day there was an attack, bakugan attack them, the boy had to fight, and during the battle the girl was hurt. The girl was going to die, she didn't have much time left and she finally died in seconds. The guy was in depression for a long time, then a story about the tree, that grants wishes was told. He made a wish to be with the one he loved, his wish was granted the girl appeared, but within a day's she disappeared. The Boy asked the tree what happened. The tree answered you wished to be her, and I let you.
"But I want her back forever is what I meant!" he shouted.
"Human there is no magic that can grant a life back forever remember that." The tree answered.
The boy nodded, and with tears filled in his eyes he went home.
"That's so sad." I said.
"Yeah, but it's true no matter how much you want someone from the dead back they won't remain." Shun said.
"Yeah." I said.
"Let's head back." He said.
"Ok." I said wiping away a tear.
We went back and slept right away. I had a strange dream that day.
I was standing in mid air over a war, as people and bakugan were fighting. "What is this?" I asked myself.
Then everything went blank, I was in a place that was dark as I saw a pile of flower petals.
"What?" I asked, then the flower petal grew more and more and surround me, I was drowning in a pile of flower petals.
"Help!" I screamed.
"Please help." I heard, as I saw a girl also drowning.
"Hold on." I said and tried swimming to her but I couldn't reach her at all.
"No, not now go to the Subterra village, the village of wishes." She said.
"What?" I asked, but I was drowned by the flowers, as I saw a creature with red eyes sucking up everything.
"Ah!" I screamed opening my eyes and sat up.
"Alice." Julie sad.
"Are you ok you were having a nightmare?" Runo said.
"We have to go..." I said.
"Where?" Runo asked.
"The Wish Village." I said, gripping my blanket.
