Last time….
"Sounds like you've got a crush on Krys," Leena laughed.
"No I don't." he yelled.
"Yes you do. You're in love with her." Leena teased.
"He's in love with who?" Krys had walked into the room at that moment.
"Nobody," Leena squeaked.
"I just came to tell you guys that I'm leaving for a little while. I need to clear my head and meet with a couple of people." She told them and left the room.
"Krys…" Brad's plea was only heard by Leena.
And now….
Chapter 6:
Dague dashed across the sand, Krys pushed her to go faster. She wanted to get out of that place as fast as she could. Krys had no idea where she was headed or why, she just let Dague run. Follow your heart…
"Why should I follow my heart? It's just led me to pain and suffering. What is worth living through all this pain?" she cried.
Love, Dague answered.
"Love's a fairy tale." Krys replied bitterly.
Then what is keeping you alive? Dague questioned.
"I don't know…" Krys sat silently for hours, just thinking.
We have to stop soon, I need to rest. Dague broke the silence as they approached the first town they had seen that day.
"Fine, I'm gonna see if I can find some where to get food." Krys jumped from Dague's cockpit and went in search of food.
She found a small tavern on the edge of town and hoped she could get a good amount of food, for she was probably not going to eat for another day.
"Can I help you missy?" The bar tender asked.
"What do you got to eat?" she asked taking a seat at the bar.
"Chicken, corn and 'taters." He answered.
"I'll have that and a glass of your finest whiskey." She told him.
The bartender handed her the drink and food, which she quickly ate. She sat silently for a while drinking her drink.
"What's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?" A voice asked from behind her.
"No of your business." She replied glancing out the side of her eye as she took another drink.
"Well, I plan on making it my business." The voice answered.
The sound of the voice sent shivers up her spin, and she was flooded with the feeling of deja vous. "Not if I have a say in it." She emptied her glass and paid the bartender for the meal.
"You do as you're told girlie, or you might just get hurt." The voice replied. As he followed her out of the tavern.
Krys spun around on her heels and glared at the blonde man. "I do as I wish, for nobody can stop me." She replied.
The man lunged at her.
Krys quickly moved out of his way then did a roundhouse kick and hit him in the face with her foot. She then punched him in the face. When her bare skin came in contact with his face, another wave of deja vous hit her. She quickly ran back to Dague.
"Let's go, I don't want to face anymore of her memories! I don't want to be her, why won't she just leave me alone?!?" she yelled the last part at the sky.
Krys, you're going to have to face it anyway. Dague tried to comfort her dear friend.
"Well, I don't want to face it right now. I want to be able to love the man I want to love with out her forcing her way to the surface. I don't want to be her, I am Krys, the warrior, no Myna the soldier." Krys answered as they sped of into the desert.
Then be Krys.
"I can't. Every time I try to be, she stops me. She surfaces and gets me all confused. It's like two different people living in one body, my body, and I'm the weaker of the two." Krys tried to explain.
You're not weaker, just younger. Dague answered.
"Well it's still a weakness, and it's ruining my life. I'm the only kid who's grown up being told that I'll save the world, and that I'm the only hope the world has. I just want to be able to be partially normal, with out this person in my head." Krys felt tears run down her face.
You've been force to grow up too fast. You haven't learned how to follow your heart. Dague answered.
"I don't know. I just wish I could live my own life right now!" Krys cried. She just sat there crying until she fell asleep. But even her dreams haunted her.
^*^*^*^*^
Brad suddenly felt alone, like a piece of him had disappeared. He watched the fleeing form of Dague from the command center. 'Why did she have to go?' he asked himself.
Leena watched, worried for her friend, he had missed the one chance he had to tell Krys that he loved her, and now he was feeling the consequences.
"You love her don't you?" she asked gently touching his shoulder.
"I really don't know. It's like there's two people in one body, one loves another man, and one doesn't know what she wants." He replied.
"Are you ready to give her up?" she asked.
"No, but I don't know what to do." He answered.
"Go after her. Be her prince, or at least her knight in shining armor." Leena told him.
"I guess." He answered.
"Just go do it, what can it hurt? Only your pride." She advised her friend.
"Thanks,"
Leena watched her friend's Zoid chase after Dague, 'Am I doing the right thing?' she asked herself as the sun began to dip past the horizon.
