Chapter 6: Explanations.
SLAM!
"Joren! Of all the bloody people for Mithros to bring
here!"
"Kris, what on earth's the matter?" Ella asked.
"Joren. That's what's the matter. It's also the name of the
jerk in there!"
"Kris I thought you liked these people. You told us
they were your friends."
"They are! All except Joren. He is the most
obnoxious thing I have ever met. Why he's here I'll never know."
"You brought him here Kris, you can't complain now."
"Oh, you don't understand! I didn't pick who came- Mithros
did."
"Who? I really don't get this."
"Yeah Krissy, I think you owe both of us an explanation."
"Jordan!" she yelled launching herself at him and clinging
round his neck like a limpet.
"I missed you so much Jordan," She whispered.
"Me too, me too." He replied as he put his arms around her
to pull her close in a tight embrace.
Pressing her face into Jordan's shoulder Kris inhaled his
scent barely able to believe it was really him. She revelled in the feelings
that swamped through her. *I'm home. Everyone's safe. Nothing can go wrong now.
And best of all Jordan here.* She sighed. As much as she liked that fantasy she
knew that's all it was-a fantasy. There was plenty that could still go wrong.
Plenty that could still hurt everyone around her.
Jordan gave her an extra hard squeeze for a second before
letting her go to look deep into her eyes.
"Now how about those explanations?"
Krissy stared right back at him for a minute before she
looked away and sighed.
" Okay, but I doubt if you'll believe me."
"Try us." Ella replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I don't believe it." Ella said gob smacked.
"I knew it!" Krissy said.
"Are you telling us the absolute truth here?" Jordan
questioned.
"Of course!" Krissy said indignantly. "When have I ever
lied to you about something like this? About nicking all of the soft centred
chocolate – yes, something like this – no."
"Okay – don't get your knickers in a twist – I believe
you." Jordan said holding up his hands.
"Don't get cocky with me Mr!"
"Kris, that doesn't explain about that guy though." Ella
said.
"What guy?" Jordan asked narrowing his eyes, "Did he touch
you? If he did I'll kill him." He started to get up and head for the door.
"Oh sit down. He didn't lay a finger on me. I would've
kicked him so hard he wouldn't have been able to have kids if he had. He's just
a jerk with a big insulting mouth. Nothing I can't handle."
Jordan still looked unsure.
"Oh for God's sake Jordan! Even if he had touched me I
lived with an abusing father for 15 years didn't I? I could've handled it! I
don't need you going round like a complete Neanderthal threaten' to break
everyone's knees with a crowbar!" Kris retorted angrily.
Jordan looked away and said softly "I'm sorry."
Kris sighed, "I forgive you."
"Well now you two have finished your touching 'kiss and
make-up' scene can we get back to the parallel dimension thing?"
Kris and Jordan ex-changed a glance.
"What? What is that look about?" Ella's voice started to
rise "Guys?"
Jordan and Krissy pounced on her tickling her to death.
"Stop! Oh, stop it! Jordan, cut it out!"
The three of them collapsed in heap, giggling like the school kids they were.
"Okay." Ella said, "I believe you too."
"Good."
