'Uhh.' Hitomi blushed, 'Can I.?' She trailed off; looking up at Sam, then
quickly looking away.
'Can you what, touch my face? See my face?' Sam asked, anger seeping in to her voice. Hitomi only replied by her blush growing deeper and redder. Hitomi shook her head.
'You don't deserve to see my face, or touch it. No one does.' Sam stated flatly, looking away from Hitomi.
'How dare you say something like that!' Von yelled at Sam.
'Yea, you act like you're higher than us!' Gaddes added in, everyone else agreeing.
Sam didn't do anything, she just stood there (like the blob that she is). 'I went to school with Sam for a year, and it has now been another year since she started going to a different school than us. I haven't seen her face once, not once in two years!' Tatania told everyone, Tamara started shaking her head in agreement.
Von stepped forward a little, getting angrier and angrier with Sam by the minute. Allen put his hand on Von's shoulder.
'We'll try to get you back to the Mystic Moon as soon as possible.' Allen reassured Tamara, Sam and Tatania.
'Why don't you take us home Sam?' Tamara asked quietly under her breath.
'What makes you think that I can?' Sam retorted.
Tamara glared angrily at Sam. 'Zaibach brought you here, and you seem all chummy with them, get them to take us home, RIGHT NOW!' Tamara almost screamed the last part.
Allen tried to calm her down, Sam was surprised at all. She just kept standing there.
'Well, I suppose you're right Tamara.' Sam replied, her words creating silence.
'Huh?' Someone mumbled from the crowd that was still around them.
'What do you mean?' Gaddes asked.
Sam pulled out a cell phone that looked different than anything Tamara or Tatania had seen yet. 'There's an offer up on the table.' Sam paused.
'An offer?' Von seemed confused by all of this.
'What kind of "offer" Sam?' Tatania asked, getting more and more interested by the second, clinging off of every word Sam said.
'I join Zaibach and become some sort of spy, they take you home, no questions asked, nothing.' Sam replied.
'What's the catch?' Tamara asked, catching on quickly to this.
'I get screwed over hell, and you two have to explain to my parents, my family and relatives, all my friends, and the police, why you came back, and I didn't.' Sam explained.
'Aren't there any other options?' Gaddes asked.
'Well, we could wait it out with everyone here, see what happens. I see it like this: if waiting for someone or something to get us home fails, meaning that we can't save all three of our lives, we go to plan b, which is, I call Zaibach, they pick the three of us up, take Tamara and Tatania home, and I become part of Zaibach and get screwed over hell.' Sam explained, taking a deep breath.
'Call Zaibach, we want to go home NOW!' Tamara and Tatania both said the last word together.
'Whoa there, you don't want to go with Zaibach.' Gaddes said to Tamara and Tatania. The two girls gave Gaddes a death glare.
'Sam, if you have a cell phone, why don't you call someone back home?' Tamara asked, suspicion dawning on her.
'Yea, call in the army or something.' Tatania butted in.
'Well, I kind of already did that.' Sam replied.
'You called an army to come and get you?' Von asked mockingly.
'No, I called the leader of a country that I know,' Sam paused.
'You mean the King of Saudi Arabia?' Tamara taunted.
'No, I called the President of the United States, you idiot. Why would I call Saudi Arabia, they are allied with Zaibach.' Sam replied.
'Are you being sarcastic Sam?' Tatania asked, sounding very cautious.
'Do I sound like it?' Sam retorted.
'Who's this "President"?' Allen asked.
'He's the leader of one of strongest countries on the Mystic Moon.' Hitomi said. Sam shook her head in agreement.
'Yea, riight Sam, you're just lying to get attention.' Tamara said sarcastically.
'Yea well, America has no idea about how to get to Gaea or how it even came to exist. Saudi Arabia knows everything; it's been passed down for generations, told by many, heard by few. The King and his loyal followers are the only ones that know about this, and all its secrets. American forces won't come to rescue us, they don't know how.' Sam finished, letting a small laugh escape her lips.
Tatania was about to run towards Sam and hit her, but Gaddes grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back. Sam's eyes widened at the site as her whole body was flooded with adrenaline. She clenched her fists.
Sam couldn't believe that Gaddes would even think of handling Tatania or Tamara that way. She knew she shouldn't fight, Sam knew that she couldn't fight, but the adrenaline kept pumping into her blood stream. She hit her foot lightly against the floor, trying to get rid of the adrenaline rush because it made her go in to full battle mode.
'Let. go. of. her.' Sam let out the words just barely. Gaddes looked up at her. He let Tatania go.
'So what does that mean Sam, that you're a spy for the American government?!' Tatania nearly screamed at Sam.
'A spy?' A very large man from the crowd wondered.
'They shouldn't have kids as spies!' Allen said he was shocked that Sam, the emotionless child could be an enemy.
'Why would it matter to you what I am, why would it matter to anyone what I am, or what I have become? If no one cares, then why ask such senseless questions, that you don't even care what the answer is?' Sam asked.
'Why do you think that nobody cares about you?' Allen asked his heart filling with pity for Sam.
'I don't think, I know.' Sam paused a little, before continuing. 'No one has cared, for two years about me. They used to, because they understood who I was, and why I was like that. But no one from my "home" country, the country I was born in, understands.' Sam told him, she laughed, short and abruptly, shaking her head in pity to the world.
'You're so weird Sam, you don't talk like us, you don't act like us, how do you expect for us to react to that?' Tatania called out angrily.
'I thought you would tolerate me, help me when I made mistakes about everyday things that you take for granted. But I was wrong, very wrong.' Sam laughed again, still shaking her head. 'What a bad impression you gave me about people from "my" country. You invited that other girl in, in to your group, you didn't discriminate against her, you didn't call her names, talk behind her back, yell at her in her face, or anything like that. And you didn't even know her as long as you knew me.' Sam told them.
Tatania looked away, at a loss of words. 'Oh come on, that should all be behind you, right?' Gaddes asked, patting Tatania and Tamara on the back, trying to break the tension.
'It's not my decision,' Sam pointed out.
'Can you what, touch my face? See my face?' Sam asked, anger seeping in to her voice. Hitomi only replied by her blush growing deeper and redder. Hitomi shook her head.
'You don't deserve to see my face, or touch it. No one does.' Sam stated flatly, looking away from Hitomi.
