Chapter 5: Spreading The News
"Gene! What happened?" Melfina said as she looked at Gene alarmingly.
Gene replied, "Some asshole just threatened that if I didn't bring you to the Galactic LeyLine then I would be killed. Melfina, I have to bring you there. No offense but I don't feel like getting killed at the moment."
"Oh Gene, I'm sorry I had to bring you into this. It's all my fault." Melfina said as she began to cry.
"Don't worry Mel, everything will be just fine. We'll go and who ever is calling you there will get what they deserve. I'll make sure of it."
"Oh Gene, you're so brave. I wish I were brave like you. It seems that whenever I need to be brave I just can't find it with in me."
"But Melfina, you are brave. Don't think that you aren't because you really are."
"Gene I think we should go home now. It's really late and I need to rest."
"Ok Mel."

Jim woke up from his deep sleep to hear a crashing noise in the kitchen. He snuck into the kitchen and saw two figures. He grabbed a pot from the cabinet, crept up behind one of the intruders and bashed him over the head.
"OUCH! What the hell was that!" Gene screamed as he flickered on the lights.
Jim stared at the large bump on Gene's head and started laughing, "Sorry about that Gene I thought you were a thief or something."
"Yea well it was a good thing you didn't hit Mel. She would have been knocked out."
"Yea well good to know your home. Goodnight." Jim said as he ran back into his room.
"Goodnight Gene." Melfina said as she kissed Gene's cheek.
Gene watched Melfina walk into her room and turn out the lights. He sighed and retreated back into his room.
The morning came and with that breakfast was being made as usual.
Aisha came racing in the kitchen, "Hey Mel! Everything smells so good. I can't wait to eat it all."
Melfina replied, "You have to save some this time. I don't feel like cooking again."
"What's the matter Mel?" Aisha asked.
"I have to go back to the Galactic LeyLine. Otherwise something horrible will happen to Gene."
"Yes! Another trip! Common' Melfina! We have to start getting ready!"
"Sorry Aisha, you can't come. This I just between Gene and I. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you anyway."
"Are you kidding? Nothing can stop me. I'm unstoppable."
Melfina giggled to herself as Jim and the others came in.
Jim said, "Good Morning Mel. When's breakfast?"
"In a few minutes." Melfina replied.
Suzuka walked in and said, "Hey Melfina. When did you return home and with whom? I heard some noise in the kitchen last night."
"Oh Gene took me home at around 12. Jim hit him over the head with a pot. That was the noise you heard."
Suzuka laughed to herself as Gene walked in. He had a large bump on his head.
Suzuka said sharply, "So how's your head?"
Gene smirked and replied, "Very funny, it's not my fault some people in this house don't look before they hit someone. Guys I have something important to tell you."
Everyone looked at Gene except for Melfina knowing what was going to be said.
"I must go the Galactic LeyLine with Melfina. It is urgent that I do this. It has to be just Mel and me. No one can join us, I'm sorry."
No one spoke for a while until Jim said, "But why must you go? What happened?"
Melfina explained to everyone about the messages she was receiving and the events that would take place if they didn't go.
Suzuka looked at Gene, "You be careful. I don't want anything to happen like the last time we went there."
"I know, I'll be fine."
"Let's give them some privacy." Suzuka said as she led everyone out of the room.
"Gene I hope everything turns out to be ok." Melfina said
"Don't worry it will."
"Gene! What happened?" Melfina said as she looked at Gene alarmingly.
Gene replied, "Some asshole just threatened that if I didn't bring you to the Galactic LeyLine then I would be killed. Melfina, I have to bring you there. No offense but I don't feel like getting killed at the moment."
