*Time To Choose*
*TOBIAS*
As I flew away from Rachel I kept asking myself what I just let happen? How could I do such a thing as to kiss her? What made me do it? A deep part of my mind decided to answer that one for me. It simply said you love her and you know it. She is and will always be everything you heart will ever need. As soon as I flew back into my room I was greeted with Erics smiling face.
"So how did everything go?" he asked
"I went there to shut them down but now I don't know what to do." I admitted
"Wow Rachel had that big of an effort on you?"
"NO! It wasn't all her. Though I did kiss her."
"WHAT?!"
"But its not what you think. The kiss well I just couldn't stop myself but the main thing that got to me was something Jake said."
"What did he say?"
"That I should punish them for my hate towards him."
"So what are you going to do?"
"I have no idea. What do you think I should do?"
*JAKE*
When Marco and I arrived back at the barn we saw Rachel and Cassie whispering to eachother. As different as that was the strangest of all was the big smile plastered on Rachels face.
"Whats gotten into Xena?" Marco asked
"I have know idea but lets go find out." I said as we walked over to them.
"Ladies" I started to say "Is there something you would like to share."
"No Jake there is nothing you need to know." Rachel said well glaring at me
"Cassie?" I asked with pleading eyes
"No jake everything is good. I'm sure you and Marco want to talk to if you don't mind we'd like to get back to our conversation." Cassie said in a hurtful way
As we walk to the other side of the barn I could feel the group braking apart. I could feel me and Cassie distancing beyond my control. When Marco and I sat down on some hay to start our own conversation I looked back at Cassie feeling an empty place with in my heart.
*MARCO*
I never though I'd see the day when Cassie would be as cold as ice to Jake. I'm not sure whats going on with them at this point. Hell I didn't even think I cared but I guess were all changing now. Now that we've seen Tobias. Maybe seeing the once innocent kind heart bird boy turned into a bitter man has open our eyes alittle more to the happening that are going on around us. The tree hugging mother of the group is now just a loyal friend to Rachel and the freeze queen to me and Jake. Jake is a heart broken leader with pain and regret locked up inside him. Rachel went from xena to depressed empty shell back to xena on a mission. Who the hell knows where that came from. Then last of all there is me. Lately I felt like I wish this would all end. I didn't even care what the outcome would be. Funny though that Tobias changed that for me. He showed me that though he was gone he still cared, Sure he walked anyway and I pointed that out and sure he fought with me and Jake but he came. He came and he cares. I decided to start listening to Jake when I realized the importance of what the words he was saying ment.
"We have to stay together Marco. If we proved we're a team and on eachothers side than maybe Tobias may think its a good idea to come back. Today he saw anger and guilt and a group of four slowly dying from with in. Who would want to come back to something like that?"
"Jake we have something he wants though."
"What do we have?"
"Rachel."
We both looked at her the same time and I swear I saw a spark flash in Jakes eyes.
*CASSIE*
I saw them looking at us. Well actually they were looking at Rachel. I knew what they were thinking and I wasn't going to let them use Rachel as a way to get Tobias back. I feel that either way he decides they'll find a way to work out what their feeling. If Jake and Marco try to interfere I fear Tobias will turn from Rachel be lost to her as well as us forever. All though I could see Rachels eyes wonder off in happiness I must worn her of them.
"Rachel."
"Yes Cassie?"
"I'm so glad about what happened between you and Tobias but I think that you better watch out."
"What do you mean Cass?"
"I mean Jake and Marco mite try anything to get Tobias back. As you saw he is very bitter when it comes to this group. Some more than others and if he feels or finds out you, Jake, and Marco are using his emotions in anyway you know what will happen. We, all of us, mite never see or hear from him in anyway."
"I know Cass. Don't worry now that I have him I'm never letting go."
It made me smile inside and out seeing the look of love and determination in Rachel's eyes.
*RACHEL*
Cassie's words really made me think. I can't let Jake and Marco know what happened. Nor can I let have any part to do with any thing that concerns between me and Tobias. Today and the play ground I felt something from myself as well as him that I haven't felt in a long time. He loves me and I won't let that feeling or knowledge go. Wether or not he comes back I will be with him. Sure I have to fins him fast but he is mine. Always has been always will be. Its been 15years but nothing changed. Cassie says he's bitter but he is still my Tobias. Something can't and never will change. Well Cassis and I were enjoying our conversation Jake and Marco walked over to us again and Jake sarted to speak.
"We ned to stop this. How do we expect to get Tobias back if we can't even work as a team? He needs to see that we are able to work together as one to get things done or he is just going to figure all this isn't worth the trouble."
After Jake made his statement Cassie decided to make her own point.
"Jake how are we supposed to act as on big family if we don't trust eachother. If we come off as fake to Tobias than maybe he'll walk away faster than before."
Sudenly we all heard a voice and someone enter the barn.
"You know you guys don't make me want to come back, but when have I let you stop me before."
We all looked up and saw Tobias standing before us with a half smile on his face. We new he was back. Well atleast for now.
The END OR TO BE CONTINUED......
I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD KEEP GOING OR NOT SO I'M LEAVING IT UP TO U GUYS.
