HEY everyone sorry this one is late I have super busy studying for AP Bio…. Anyway ON WITH THE STORY:
Gene's POV:
Being stuck gives you a lot of time to contemplate things. I had figured I hadn't been asleep to long and I was getting really hungry so I assumed it was around early evening.
"What could be taking my brother so long?" I thought
I sighed and tried to see if I could find some way out of here instead of being the damsel in distress. When I started concentrating I got flashes on images of the past of this place.
"The land is cursed." I mumbled to myself
"Correct if Violet hadn't betrayed me this never would have happened, but no she just had to listen to that Guardian. All powerful and what not."
"So is that why you trapped me because I also have association with the Guardians? Why me though Mai is the pure Guardian the one who can break the curse on this land that you place here." I questioned
"Its not about listening or being friends with the Guardians its about loyalty. All of you are good friends Mai and your brother loves you. Will they take the time to find and rescue you or get wrapped up in their love and give up?"
I started laughing hysterically at what Dawn had said. "you think they will betray me. You are sadly mistaken my brother hides his emotions like you hide your favorite candy from your siblings. Mai also brought me back from the dead and is bonded with me on a spiritual level. They can't abandon their other half can they, both Mai and my brother would rather die first before losing me."
"How can you be so sure? Day one is already up and they are laughing and joking with each other. Some are even fighting." Dawn said
"That's just who they are if they weren't honestly I would think something was terribly wrong with them or they were all possessed." I said
"We will see how loyal your friends are."
"Yes we shall. Hurry up guys I'm hungry." I mumbled
MAI's POV:
I stood up and picked up Masako when I felt the barrier drop and started walking to the exit. Once I felt the tug on my body I let it happen and found myself waking up in someone arms.
"Welcome back." Naru said
I looked up at him and smiled then shifted in his lap to a better position. I felt him stiffen then relax when I stopped moving.
"Everyone I know what's going on here". I announced loudly
Everyone stopped eating and turned to me when they heard my voice.
"Mai your awake!" Monk yelled
"Yeah Monk but I have important news." I said seriously
For once Monk didn't glomp me. Whether it was from my serious tone or the dark aura from Naru I wasn't sure and didn't really care we needed to save Gene, he is probably hungry.
"So this land is cursed by a woman named Dawn she had a grudge against her friend for abandoning her to stay here and keep the land pure. At first Violet had no problem with this until Dawn cursed the land to where it no longer was a sacred spell to keep the land pure but a twisted one. Violet's descendents if they failed to protect the land would die and be stuck wandering this land for eternity. You can imagine how many negative emotions piled up. However the last descendents of the Violets family moved away, our clients the Rose family. The Rose family escaped the curse because their ancestors have been protecting them from the curse. That protection won't last much longer and the incidents happening here were to preserve the land and scare the Roses off to protect them from Dawn." I explained
"Wow so the supernatural things happening were to scare people off. The dead man in the room, and Leann's near death experience." Miles asked
"Yes. I answered"
"Great but how do we break the curse?" Yasu asked
"With blood stronger than the creator of the curse," Sei sighed
"blood?" Berry squeaked.
"what are you afraid of a little blood human?" Sei teased
"NO,I am just wondering how are we going to find someone with blood powerful enough to break the curse."
"We need to get Gene out, don't think about the small things when your brain can't even handle the simplest of things" Naru said
"Naru that was rude" I hissed
Naru shrugged and went back to reading his notebook that I didn't see him pull out.
"Even though what Naru said was rude, he is right don't worry about that Berry I have a plan."
"You have a plan aren't you just Naru's assistant." Masako said while she sat up on the couch
"Ah Masako have a nice nap?" I giggled
Masako simply gave me a dirty look then addressed Naru.
"Oliver, how can you trust Mai has a plan she isn't smart enough to come up with something by herself that won't get her killed or all of us. She even got me trapped in the spiritual plane." Masako whined
"Ms. Hara I understand your concern but however I will have to disagree with you. Mai is a lot smarter than you give her credit for and also quite capable of handling this matter on her own." Naru said with a glare in Masako's direction
I smirked at Masako and just to spite her even further I snuggled more into Naru's lap who wrapped one arm around me.
I watched Masako seethe and turn her head away.
"Well Mai, I trust you and your judgment but I'm sure we are all tired and need some sleep. What do you say Oliver?" John asked
Naru nodded and everyone got up to clear the table and head to bed. Once everyone was gone I spoke to Naru.
"Don't worry Gene will be fine he won't die so easily."
Naru just tightened his arm around me and continued to read.
Chapter 50 everyone, I know it isn't as long as all the others but I wanted to get this chapter to you all quickly. Read and Review everyone I'll be waiting your author ~Alex~
