enjoy this chapter, as does everyone else. Thank you.
Chapter 4: Why not love?
Ascot looked up at Fuu, "what are you talking about? You can't hear the Sarthac, it is just a dumb grunt. It can't talk."
Fuu slowly lowered herself to the ground. "I can hear it, I know I can. It wants me to go to it. It wants me to be near it. Why Ascot, tell me why!"
Ascot didn't reply he just stared at Fuu. He took a reassuring step toward her. Fuu looked at the ground. She played with her skirt twiddling her fingers in the cloth.
"It could have hurt me. It could have killed me, but it stopped. Why did it do that Ascot?" her voice was just above a whisper.
Ascot remained silent.
"You aren't Ascot are you?" Fuu stood up. "Ascot is in Cephiro, and has given up capturing creatures. He stopped before we left back for Earth. You really had me fooled." Fuu made her way toward the door.
Ascot looked startled. He quickly grabbed hold of Fuu's clothing stopping her from going. "What are you talking about? Where are you going?"
Fuu turned a pushed Ascots hand away from her. "You have been keeping me from getting close to the creature all along. That power I thought was Windum was not. It couldn't be. You put all the thoughts that this creature was awful in my head. You were there in the alley to give me just enough lies to keep me away. What are you hiding, who are you?"
Ascot took a step back. "I don't know what you mean Fuu, I am Ascot." He gave her a puzzled look. "Maybe you should go back to your apartment, this is no place for you. You are acting all weird."
Fuu felt an urge to go back to her apartment. It would be so nice. "Stop it!" she threw her hands out and pushed Ascot away. "I won't listen to you, I wont!"
"That is the problem, you never listen. You are just a girl, you can't do anything here. You left your powers back on Cephiro, what do you hope to accomplish by coming here?"
Fuu glared down at Ascot, "who are you?"
Ascot smiled and slowly changed into a policeman. He looked so similar to the one she saw at the barricade. "I am whoever I need to be. Now why don't you go home, this is no place for you. We can take care of things."
Fuu glared at the creature, "I don't know who is the scarier monster." Fuu didn't give the thing long enough to retort, she bolted out the door. This was her high school; she knew that she could loose him. She darted down the hallway, pounding down the corridors. The sounds of the gunshots were getting louder. Gunshots? Oh no!
Fuu threw open the doors to the outside. There stood the hulking beast. All around policemen had nets and large guns.
"Stop! You're hurting him," Fuu called as she ran toward the creature. A policewoman stopped her.
"What are you doing her? Quickly someone get this girl out of her before she gets hurt." Two men moved toward Fuu.
"No, you can't." Fuu struggled and bolted past the woman running directly at the creature. "You can't hurt him anymore!"
The police took a step back as she hurled herself in front of it. The creature grabbed hold of Fuu in his massive hands. "Stop your fire, you may hit the girl."
Yes she thought, as she struggled to breath. They stopped firing. His hands squeezed her so tightly. She struggled to move. The creature glared at her, its ugly eyes staring at her, wondering, perhaps how to kill her.
"Ferio, I know it is you. I just know it." Fuu gasped as she struggled for a breath. The creature seemed angered and goop began to leek from its body. The goop quickly leaked out spraying the officers.
"Stop it Ferio, you are hurting them. Please you have to stop it." Fuu struggled against his grasp. "Ferio stop, please." The go stopped spraying, the officers backed away. The ones that were burned were being helped away by the others that were unharmed. Fuu looked up to see the cherry blossom tree nearby. That tree that held Makona, and helped them. "Ferio why are you like this? What is going on, please talk to me."
The creature did not respond, it dropped her. Fuu fell to the ground. She struggled to get up quickly but found her hands stuck in goop. A puddle of goop was around the creatures' feet. She was stuck in it and couldn't move.
"Ferio? You think that creature is Ferio? Oh goodness you are nuts." A policeman said walking up to her. "Ferio is dead, and has been dead for two months, after an accident. Your Ferio is dead, don't you know that?"
Fuu struggled to get away, so she would not have to hear what the policeman was saying.
"You lie! I know that he is alive, I know it." Fuu looked up at the creature. It seemed to be distracted by the cherry tree. Something was stealing its attention. A piece of paper blew away from the tree, and toward Fuu. She could see it dancing in the breeze. The creature struggled to seize it but was too slow. The policeman left Fuu's side and jumped up trying to grab the paper. It was just out of his grasp, dancing away from his fingertips.
Without cause or warning the paper dropped and landed beside Fuu. She quickly looked over, it was her poem. It was the poem she had written for Ferio, left unfinished. The policemen quickly snatched the poem away from her. His feet hovering him above the goop.
"Can't help you now Miss, you should have realized this was a place you shouldn't be. It is awful how the creature is going to kill you isn't it? Maybe you should have listened!" The hulking beast raised its foot above Fuu. She didn't flinch.
"Ferio would never hurt me. I know it. He loves me." The creature kept its foot wavering in the air for a moment. Fuu smiled, and called out:
"Where can I find you?
Why aren't you there…
I am waiting,
Cherry blossoms falling,
Cascading,
Around me.
Each one holding,
A wish for your return,
Each one landing,
Silent with my prayer.
Pink waterfall of flowers.
Hands on soft bark,
Pushing,
Wanting to break through.
Break through to you.
Ferio, I miss you.
Ferio, I want you." Fuu paused as she started to cry. "Ferio, I love you!" Silence ebbed out away from Fuu. The policemen stepped away. The creature put down his foot, and Fuu could have sworn he smiled; however a beast like that would smile.
"Well, wager won. Have your way Ferio." The policemen melted away, his image fading into the background. The goop around Fuu slowly dissolved allowing her to stand. She triumphantly stood smiling at the creature. Slowly, the façade melted away turning into cherry blossoms as the bits fell to the earth. The hulking ugliness dripping away, absorbed into the earth. From the inside Ferio stepped out. His clothes in rags, his body slightly bloody.
"Fuu, I knew you…" he fell sideways. Fuu rushed and caught hold of him. His eyes tearful as he stared up at her. "I need some rest, thank you Fuu." Fuu was lost for words. Her chest felt so full, more so then it ever did with Windum or anyone else, this was a purer power.
The policemen rushed in to help, not knowing what was going on. They were both surrounded with blankets and helped to leave the scène. Fuu never let go of Ferio, hardly able to see through her own tears.
~~~~~~~~
Such an odd turn of events. The creature seems to have been completely obliterated, but no one is certain how it came about. While many speculate that this is some sort of Government stunt, there can be no certainty. While we are not certain…
Fuu clicked off the power to the television and went to sit beside Ferio. She snuggled against him as he placed his arm around her.
"So you see," he started in again, "I couldn't cross over to your world without help. But the only person that would help me, was Setirio. I had heard of him, and the high, and odd costs that he asked for any use of his powers. So I traveled looking for him not knowing what to expect. He found me one day, I was nearly out of food, and was giving up hope of finding him. He asked me why I quested for him. When I told him it was because of love, he asked me if it was real. I, of course, told him it was real, and true. He said he would get me to Earth, but he would have to test my love. I am sorry if I hurt you Fuu. I just had to see you again, to be with you."
Fuu could barely hear his words as she had her eyes closed, her head resting on his chest. "Lets not talk about it, lets just rest. I just want to rest." She rubbed a hand along his face caringly. "I have had enough talk of Cephiro for today." They sat quietly for a moment. Fuu's message machine clicked on. Umi's voice rang out through the apartment.
"FUU! AHHH I am going to be attacked by a monster? What have you done that got me into this? Oh you better be all right. Where are you? I don't wanna be attacked by a monster, OH NO! This is just great, just when I got my tan finished, this has to come up. I was having such a great day. FUU! Where are you?!"
Fuu's eyes shot open.
THE END
Please tell me what you think, I hope you liked it, have a super duper day. R/R please.
