All I Have- Faya
(They are are 15 and 20)
"You shouldn't go,"a voice said behind him.
Finn had just gotten out of a meeting with Olvan about a new mission that is deep in the Amayan forest with some tribes. Olvan had told her that he would be going in with two other greencloaks and that if the wrong tribe sees them then they will be attacked.
He turned around to see Maya standing in his doorway looking straight at him. Looking away, he sighed and continued to pack his bag.
"It's just a mission. I have gone on many of these where Olvan has told us they are dangerous but nothing bad happens,"he told her looking at her.
"You never know what could happen and this one seems worse than the others, i mean… rouge tribes that have started to attack towns and cities? And have also attacked random people who have done nothing?"
Finn stood up and walked towards her. "You need to not worry. Has anything ever happened to me on the past missions?"
She sighed. "Well...no but…".
He smiled. "But what?"
Maya looked down at the ground and mumbled something. Finn put his hand under her chin and lifted it up to where they were they were looking straight at each other.
"What did you say?"he asked.
"You're all i have left,"she told him.
Finn smiled, looking away and made a sound between a laugh and a sigh. When he turned back he put both his hands on Maya's cheeks.
"If i lose you i have nothing, that's why you shouldn't go. I love you too much that if i lost you i would lose myself,"she spoke softly.
"I love you too,"Finn said hugging her tightly. "While I'm gone i will be as careful as i possibly can."
Maya smiled. "If you come back with even one scratch on you, i will be so mad-"
"Nothing will happen,"Finn said picking his bag up and walking out of the room with Maya behind him.
"I guess i will see you in a week,"said Maya as she and Finn stood outside the boat that would be taking Finn to Amaya.
Finn turned to her and kissed her quickly. After saying a quick i love you Finn got on the boat but not with out saying these final words.
"While I'm gone don't do anything stupid. You're all i have as well."
Maya smiled as the boat left the dock.
How Dare You!?- Levan
(They are younger in this)
Olvan walked down the dark hallway towards Lenori's office. As he reached her door he opened it and slammed it shut hard behind him. Lenori looked up at him.
"Can i help you?"she asked looking at a red faced Olvan.
"How. Dare. You!",he told her with a straight face.
Lenori raised her eyebrows and looked at him funny. "What?"
He walked over to her desk and slammed his hands down on her desk. "You know what!"
She shook her head. "No i don't."
He stared at her surprised. Walking around her desk he grabbed the mug that had been on the corner. Olvan the tilted it so that she could see the brownish liquid inside.
"What is this?"he asked.
"It's tea,"she answered.
He stared at her as if she had just said the most offensive thing in the world. "Why is it in here?"
She grabbed the mug from him and placed it back on the desk. "Because i was drinking it."
"Wha-what-why?"he asked throwing his hands in the air.
"Because i was thirsty,"Lenori said.
"Have you heard of this drink called coffee?,"Olvan asked her.
She nodded her head. "Yes, but i don't like it."
His eyes widened and he put a hand over his heart. "I'm offended."
"Really?"
He nodded. "Yeah i am."
Lenori shook her head and laughed. "I don't understand you sometimes."
Olvan hugged her and whispered in her ear,"No one does."
He then grabbed her cup of tea threw it against the wall. He then ran to the door, turning around he pointed at her and yelled,"I owe you nothing,"then ran out of the room.
Lenori looked at the door in shock."Oh my gods…. he is going insane."
Poison- Larik
(They are younger)
"Someone help!",Tarik yelled as he entered the campsite with Lishay in his arms.
Two medics came running towards them."What happened?"
"I don't know. We were just walking through the woods when she...she just collapsed",Tarik said quickly.
"Let us take her",said one of the medics as he took Lishay out of Tariks arms and rushed towards the infirmary tent.
Tarik tried to follow but the other medic stopped him. "We can't let you see her for a while until we know what's wrong."
"But I'm her boyfriend", Tarik argued.
The medic sighed and nodded."We know but it will only be for a few hours at the most."
Tarik looked away and nodded as he headed towards his tent. Once he got there he sat down on his sleeping bag and put his head in his hands. Replaying the events that had just happened, made him sick. They were just walking and seeing Lishay just fall to the ground all of the sudden scared him to death. In that moment he picked her up not knowing what to do and started to go as fast as he could to the campsite making for sure not to hurt her more.
Tarik fell on his back and sighed looking at the top of his tent. It felt like hours to Tarik before someone came to talk to him. It was one of the medics from earlier.
Before the medic could say anything Tarik ran past him and to the infirmary tent where he almost tackled 3 other greencloaks. Looking around he saw rows of beds with a shall sheet hanging in the middle, separating each one. Walking down the middle of them he looked left and right trying to find her.
When he got to the end of the tent he turned around and ran back to the medic he had passed. When Tarik reached him, he grabbed his arms tightly.
"Where is she?"he asked his voice cracking.
The medic sighed."I was going to tell you before you bolted away".
Tarik sighed and looked down at his shoes."Where is she?"
The medic pointed to a tent that was about 50 feet away."She is in there but before you go running off, bulldozing greencloaks let me tell you what's wrong with her."
"You make it sound like she is dying,"Tarik paused real quick,"she isn't dying right?"
The medic smiled a little."No. She is just very, very sick. We found a needle dart with some sort of...poison on it that was shot at her and hit her in the leg. I sent out some greencloaks to talk to the natives about it and they said that there isn't a cure for it but it would only last a few days at the least."
"What about at the most?"Tarik asked as he and the medic started to walk towards the tent.
"It's best we not tell you,"the medic opened the flap to the tent to reveal 2 other people and Lishay in the bed.
When Tarik looked at Lishay, he thought he was going to fall over. She was pale and had beads of sweat dripping down her face. Even with the layers of blankets she still looked like she was freezing. When she coughed it came out raspy and scratchy. Not knowing what to do he sat down on his knees and brought a hand up to Lishays fevered head.
She opened her eyes and smiled a little. Tarik smiled back as the others that were in the tent left.
"Hey",she said in a soft, raspy voice.
"Hey,"he answered brushing some bangs off of her face and behind her ear.
Tarik sat on the edge of the small cot as Lishay used his thigh as a pillow. He rubbed her back as she drifted to sleep. Tarik soon followed, his body falling sideways onto the bed.
Tarik was woken up in the middle of the night by someone crying. When he opened his eyes and noticed that Lishay wasn't next to him anymore but she was on the floor curled up in a ball, hugging a pillow and crying.
Right away Tarik got off of the cot and gathered Lishay up in his arms holding her against his chest tight.
"What's wrong?"he asked her gently.
"Everything hurts,"she told him crying harder.
"Is it because of the poison?"Tarik asked putting her back in the cot.
"I don't know,"she told him, holding on tight to his waist.
Tarik undid Lishays arms and knelled by the cot looking her in the eyes. He leaned in and kissed her head.
"Everything will be OK soon, i promise,"Tarik spoke sincerely to her and stroked her cheek with the pad of his thumb.
She closed her eyes, leaning closer to his hand and taking a deep breath."What did i do to deserve you?"
Tarik shook his head."I should be the one asking that question, not you".
It took Lishay almost 3 more hours before she actually fell asleep again. The pain always came back at the most unusually times and she would not be able to sleep or wake up screaming. Through the night Tarik stayed up and coaxed her back to sleep by telling her stories about his family or from when they were younger. Lishay didn't really talk but every so often she would say thank you and that she loved him. It always make Tarik smile when she said that.
Be for Lishay fell asleep for the 7th time that night Tarik spoke softly to her.
"Everything will always be OK, no matter what happens i will always be with you,"with that he closed his eyes, putting his head against the cot and smiling that same smile he did for years and years until he couldn't anymore.
My Worries Melted Away When I Saw You Smile- Shaya
"What if this was a mistake?"
He had asked that same question over and over again and again. It was starting to annoy Anya a lot. She rolled her eyes and let out a breath.
"It's not a mistake",Anya told him fixing the collar on his suit.
"How do you know?"he asked stepping away from her and starting to pace around the room.
"Can you just stay still so i can fix your suit?"Shane must have chosen to ignore her or he was lost in his own thoughts because he kept pacing.
When he finally stopped he turned to her."How does Arctica sound?"
She stared at him funny."What?"
"I heard it's nice this time of year. We should go there… better yet lets stay there and never come back. I like that idea,"he said.
"You hate the cold",she said sternly.
"They have summers,"Shane told her.
She sighed and said sarcastically,"Yeah and it's so much warmer."
Shane nodded his head."It probably is but you don't know if you don't go and see for yourself."
Anya walked closer to him and started to fix his suit while shaking her head."A whole 3 degrees that it changes in the summer is such a difference."
"It probably i-".
"Shane!"Anya said raising her voice a little to make him stop talking."I don't know why you are worrying so much. You have been around everywhere and people find an interest in you. The stories you tell kids who will then tell their parents will make them like you. Because when you make kids happy adults will see that you aren't so bad. What you are doing is not a mistake, it's your destiny. You were made to be a king and a king you will be."
Shane smiled a little as someone knocked on the door. A guard came in."It is time."
He sighed and turned to Anya."Am i really making the right decision?Even after everything that i have done?"
"Your past doesn't define you,"Anya kissed him on the cheek."You've got this."
With that Anya gentle shoved Shane out of the room and in the direction he was supposed to head. Anya walked the other way.
When Shane got to the large doors that lead into the throne room, where the people of Stetriol would see him he paused before entering and took a deep breath. The doors opened and Shane stood straight up and began walking, trying to keep a straight face.
People in the room stood up and looked at him as he passed. The guards and people all bowed as he walked by. Starting to feel fidgety he looked over to his right where he saw Anya looking straight at him.
They locked eyes and Anya smiled brightly at him as she bowed along with the rest of the people. Seeing her smile seemed to help him. Everything was going to be OK is what the smile meant. All of his doubts and worries just seemed to...melt, he could do this. Anya believed he could so he knew he could. Shane seemed to walk with a little pep in his step as he got closer to the front where he would be announced the new king.
I'm So Sorry- Drawson
(Dawson=18/Drina=21)
"Hey Drina",Dawson said as he walked into the room where she was sitting on the bed.
"What?"she asked swinging her legs over the bed.
"You..ugh got a letter in the mail and it doesn't say who it's from",he handed her the small envelope.
She took it and opened the envelope. The paper inside must have been important because on the outside it said for Drina's eyes only. She unfolded it and began to read.
Dawson knew something was wrong as she began reading it. Her face slid into a frown and then into something that looked like pain...almost heartbreak. Watching her, she dropped the letter onto the floor and just stared at the wall.
She mumbled something softly.
"What did the letter say?"he asked gently sitting next to her on the bed.
"He's gone",was as she said as tears silently began to run down her cheeks.
"What do you mean?"Dawson questioned.
She turned to him. Pain, heartbreak and so much more decorated her face as she spoke.
"Shane...he's gone",everything collapsed.
Drina slid off of the bed and onto the ground. She pulled her knees tightly to her chest and sobbed uncontrollably. Dawson just sat there trying to process the fact the Shane was...dead. When he finally did he got down next to Drina and gathered her smaller body in his arms and held her tightly to his chest.
"He was my only family left",Drina sobbed into his shoulder."I'm all alone know."
"No your not-"
"Who do i have?"she raised her voice.
Dawson sighed and began wiping tears off of her cheeks with his thumbs."I'm still here and i always will be. I will never leave you. I swear on my life."
Drina put her head on his shoulder as she took deep breaths."You can read the letter if you want."
Dawson nodded and reached over to where the letter had fallen on the floor. It wasn't that long but it read:
Dear Drina,
We are sorry to tell you but your brother, Shane, has passed away. He died a hero and all Greencloaks know his name and will never forget him. We were just recently told that you were alive otherwise we would have told you sooner. He has been gone for 7 years. Not all will know what he did to help save the world but we will.
Sincerely,
A Greencloak
Dawson wasn't a big fan of how they put it in the letter or how they wrote it. Looking down at Drina in his arms he smiled sadly and shook his head. Taking a deep, he put his chin on her head.
"I'm so sorry,"Dawson spoke."I'm so, so sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry for. No one does. He chose his life and it just happened to end that way even though i wish it hadn't. He was the one person who believed in me. Nothing will be the same,"she told him.
Dawson didn't know what to say. He just held her as she rested against him. He kissed her forehead.
"I'm sure wherever he is, he's happy knowing that he helped so many people even after all of the bad things he did. Shane really was a hero,"he told her as a couple more tears fell down her face and she began to slowly drift off.
When Dawson knew that Drina was asleep he read through the letter again and again. When he flipped the letter over and looked at the back he noticed some small writing. It read something he never thought he would see:
I'm sorry Drina.
Morphine- Reilin
Rollan sprinted down the hallway and took a left leading him to Meilin's room. Right when he got there he saw Conor on the ground...laughing.
Rollan skited to a stop and looked at Conor."Dude, you good?"
Conor tried to speak but ended up bursting out in a fit of laughter.
"He's fine",someone said.
Rollan looked up and saw Abeke come of Meilin's room with a big smile on her face."Is Meilin OK?"
Abeke smiled."Believe me she's fine. They put her on some heavy medicine and...you'll have to see for yourself,"she began laughing along with Conor.
Rollan stared at them funny and headed into Meilin's room. He closed the door quietly behind him. When he turned around he saw Meilin looking at him.
"How are you feeling?"he asked walking toward her.
She laughed."Everything's fuzzy, fuzzy."
Rollan raised an eyebrow and stared at her weird."What?"
She looked at him serious."They told me it was water."Meilin shook her head."It wasn't water."
Rollan nodded."It was probably the medicine they gave you that Abeke was talking about."
"You mean they drugged me?"Meilin's eyes got wide."So am i high right now?"
"Yeah,"Rollan started,"you're in the clouds."
"Am i a cloud jumper?"
Rollan stared at her funny."What's a cloud jumper?"
"What is life?"
"That's not the answer to my question."
"What came first the chicken or the egg?"
"What?"
"Do crabs think fish can fly?"
"You're not making sense?"
"Tell me the truth."
"About what?"he asked.
She stared at him deeply."Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?"
"Umm..i think so."
"Can i tell you a secret?"she asked.
He nodded his head."Yeah of coarse?"
She whispered,"I stepped on a spooodeler."
"Um OK?"
"Is an army of little spooodelers going to come after me since i killed the mama?"
"...",Rollan didn't know how to answer that.
She gasped."There's no way they can come after me though. I'm too special."
"There's spiders everywhere,"Rollan told her.
Meilin stared at him."Does that mean there's spooodelers in my little-tiny-castle-house-room?"
That got Rollan to smile and laugh. He shook his head as Meilin spoke.
"You're cute when you smile."
"What?"he asked as he stopped laughing and looked straight at her."What did you just say?"
"Palm trees are beach pubes."
"Never say that again,"he smiled at her."What did you say though?"
She turned her head and looked up."I don't know."
"You just said I'm cute when i smile,"he told her.
"Did i?"she questioned herself."Huh...maybe i did."
"You did,"Rollan couldn't stop smiling.
She stared at him then all of the sudden...rolled off of the bed.
"Meilin are you OK?"he asked getting up.
He looked around the bed and saw Meilin's head.
"Hey there,"she said. Meilin then began to roll towards the door."I'ma rollie pollie."
"Oh my goodness,"Rollan laughed.
She stopped rolling and looked at him."It's not nice to laugh at a lady."
"Oh you are not a lady as of now,"he told her.
She gasped loudly and looked away dramatically."How dare you? And you even call me Lady Panda."
Rollan sighed."I know i do."
"I can't feel my butt."
"Probably because you were sitting down for a while,"he told her grinning.
"But if i can't feel it is it even there?"
"Oh boy here we go again."
"Orange is the only color you can taste."
"Yep it's time for bed,"Rollan stood up and walked over to Meilin who was sitting up against the door.
"Hey! Don't touch a woman,"she turned away from him for a second then turned back and held her arms out."Heelp."
Rollan picked her up quickly and laid her down on the bed. Then began to leave but Meilin stopped him.
"Wait, will you stay with me? I don't want any spoodelers to come after me while i sleep."
Rollan laughed."Of course."
"Thanks love,"she told him as he walked back over and sat in the chair.
"You know that's what Conor and Abeke say to each other?"
She smiled."They're cute together. They are like those little chocolate swirls that are milk and white chocolate mixed."
"Meilin! That is so bad,"he told her as he burst out laughing.
She looked at him as if he was crazy."We all thought of it."
"No one thought of it that way,"he laughed.
She sighed."Whatever. Can you lay with me?"
Once Rollan stopped laughing he got in bed next to her. Right away Meilin rested her head on his chest.
"I love you, i really do,"she told him."I don't want to lose you ever. You are the greatest person in my life and even though we fight a lot i still love you and always will."
"I love you too. Also, I'm so happy you won't remember any of this,"he told her kissing her head.
She laughed."Yeah...about that…"
He tilted her head in his direction."What?"
"Mmm well...let's just say that the medicine wore off a little bit ago,"she told him turning away."You better not tell anyone about this."
Rollan kissed her head."I swear i won't and promise to protect you from the spooodelers that you are so scared of."
"Oh gods what did i even say? I don't remember some of it."
"That's good, believe me,"Rollan said as he and Meilin fell into a peaceful sleep.
Storm- Coneke
"Are you OK?"a voice said behind her.
Abeke sighed and turned around to face Conor. She nodded."Yeah, I'm fine...just tired."
Conor looked at her funny for a second then smiled a little."Love, you are not a good liar."
"I'm not lying i swear Conor,"she told him as he headed towards the bed.
Abeke stayed still, looking out of the small window in his room, watching the rain fell heavy. Abeke still wasn't used to the rain and thunderstorms. Especially when she was with Conor in Eura where it almost rained daily. Abeke felt a hand on her shoulder.
She looked over her shoulder to see Conor staring at her."Are you coming to bed?"
She nodded."Yeah."
He smiled, kissed her cheek and they both got in bed but before she laid down she looked out the window one last time. Abeke felt Conors arms wrap around her tightly and his chin on her shoulder.
"Let's sleep,"he said in a groggy voice.
Abeke nodded and laid down with Conors arms still around her.
A loud sound woke Abeke. She bolted straight up as light filled the room. Realizing that it was just the storm she tried to calm down but she couldn't with the loud rumble of thunder and bright light. Abeke hated the fact that she wasn't used to storms yet, even after all of these years of being with Conor and visiting his home she wasn't used to it.
A soft glow came from behind her. She turned around to see that Conor was awake and lit a small lantern. He turned to her and smiled.
"Don't lie to me when i ask you if you are OK because clearly you aren't. What's wrong?"he asked.
Abeke turned around so she was facing Conor."I'm still not used to storms."
Conor smiled and shook his head.
"Why are you smiling?"she asked, a little embarrassed.
"Because there is nothing to worry about. When i was younger i was also scared of storms for a while but my mom had a way of making things not so scary,"he told her blowing out the candle and laying back down, bringing Abeke next to him and holding her tight.
"How did she make it less scary?"Abeke asked putting her head on his chest.
"She would tell me how storms kind of worked for a little kids mind. She would say that thunder was the angels bowling. The rain was the god's way of cleansing the land and helping but when they got angry they would flood areas of the world,"Conor told her.
"What about the lighting?"she asked him.
Conor grabbed her hand and kissed it, while smiling." That's when the angles get a strike."
Abeke laughed a little."Your mom told you that?"
Conor nodded."Yeah my mom is a little weird with her stories and such."
"I would have loved to have someone like that when i was younger,"she told Conor.
Conor's smile dropped."I wish i could have met your mom."
"I wish i would have had more time with her before she…",Abeke didn't finish, only snuggled deeper into Conor's chest.
"We should try to go to sleep,"Conor told her.
"OK,"said Abeke as not even a second later she jumped a little at the thunder.
"Shh...it's OK,"Conor started,"If the angel thing doesn't help you then think of the thunder as Meilin hitting Rollan on the head with a 2 by 4."
Abeke laughed as Conor continued."The lightning is when Meilin threw a candle at him and lit the room on fire."
"What about the rain?"Abeke laughed.
"Rollans tears,"was all Conor said as they both laughed.
Abeke shook her head grinning. Conor looked down to see that Abeke began to close her eyes. Conor leaned down and kissed her quickly.
"Sleep well my love,"he said as he began to drift away.
