The Garden: Part 2

Surely and slowly, the sun began to rise and a new day began to start. Melfina felt the sun warming her face and she began to rise from her bed.

She started stretching and said "Finally I can go to the garden."

Quietly she snuck out of bed, trying not to wake Gene up beside her. She gently stepped out of bed and went to her closet. She put on a robe and went into the kitchen.

Melfina sat in a chair and whispered "Gillium, Gillium wake up."

"Yes what is it Melfina? Is something wrong?" Gillium asked.

"I need to know where Gene went yesterday. I want to know where that garden is" Melfina replied.

"Well, Gene went to the southern end of the park. That's where he said he found the garden. He said it was behind a few hotdog stands. Other than that information I don't know exactly where it is" Gillium said.

"Thanks, I'll get my stuff ready" Melfina said as she started to exit the kitchen.

Gillium went over to her and said "I thought you were leaving with Gene?"

"I'm not waiting for him. He doesn't wake up until night time" Melfina said sarcasticly.

Gillium looked at her and said "Well just be careful Melfina. If something happens call Starwind and Hawking and I will send someone over."

"Thanks Gillium. I promise I will be careful" Melfina replied.

Melfina snuck back into her room and carefully took her robe off and put on some clothes. She headed towards the foot of her bed to get her bag when suddenly Gene grabbed her arm.

"Where do you think you're going?" Gene asked.

"Oh I was ummm, going to the park to get some sea shells" Melfina replied.

"Oh common Mel, you can lie better than that. Why didn't you wake me up. I would have gotten ready. I don't want you going to the garden alone. Something can happen" Gene said.

"Well then hurry up and get ready because I am leaving in five minutes" Melfina said sternly.

"Ok Ok, I just need to put some clothes on. Unless, you feel like taking a shower with me. You know you shouldn't leave the house without taking a shower. It's bad hygiene" said Gene.

Melfina gave him a dirty look and said "Get ready before I leave you here alone."

Gene got out of bed and went into the hallway. Melfina wasn't used to seeing Gene without clothes so she began to blush. Gene went into his room and put on some clothes. He came back out and grabbed his caster gun.

"Gene why do you still have that? You know it doesn't work anymore" Melfina said.

"I know but I still like to look at it. Besides I look really mean and scary with it" Gene replied.

Melfina smiled and walked out the door. Gene followed with his caster gun in hand. They started walking towards the park when suddenly the sunny bright day began to dark black and cloudy.

"Gene we better hurry up. I think something bad is going to happen very soon if we don't get to this garden fast" Melfina said.

They began to run down the pathway leading to the park. Finally they reach the park and in the distance they see bright lights flashing where the garden was. They started running towards the lights but then suddenly Melfina gets pushed over by some mysterious figure in a dark robe.

Gene turns around and says "Hey what's the big idea?"

The figure runs over to Melfina and grabs her. Suddenly the figure takes off her robe to reveal herself. It was Aisha. She had a mysterious makring on her forehead. The marking began to glow and Melfina started to scream in pain.

"Gene help me please! The pain, it hurts so much!" Melfina yelled.

Gene ran over to Aisha and tried to knock her over but she pushed Melfina to the side and kicked him in the groin. After Gene fell to the floor in agony she grabbed Melfina and pulled her away into a car and they spun off.

Gene slowly got up and said "Come back Aisha! You son of a bitch! I'll find you! I know I will!"

Gene stood up and reached for his cell phone.

Jim picked up and said "Gene, what's the matter? Where's Melfina?"

"Jim Aisha has her. Come over with the car fast. We have to find her otherwise something horrible is going to happen" said Gene.

"I'll be right there" Jim said as he hung up the phone.

Gene started walking out of the park and thought to himself 'Will I ever see her again? I always seem to get her in trouble. I wish I could protect her from everything but I can't. I'm such a failure. Now she's gone and I have no idea where she is. All I know is that this garden holds the secrets of where Melfina is and why Aisha and Sazuka are doing this. I need to find them and discover the secret of the garden before it gets to all of us.'
