Crystal of Psyche
Chapter 7: Old Friends
Author's Note: Thanks to all those people who sent in their characters. It was really hard picking which character I want to use, but I finally made my decision. I have to admit you guys have a very creative mind!!! ^.^
Phoenix: So who are the winners?
Crystal: Hehee read and see!
Kai wouldn't let go of Julia he sat there on the floor clutching her to him.
"It's all my fault." He kept saying that to himself, he snapped back to reality when Julia groaned. He opened his eyes and looked at Julia. She slowly opened her eyes; he was startled because her eyes were a shade of red.
"Kai?" Julia said in a hushed voice. He was speechless, and so she continued, "I can see."
"Wha...What!?!" he stuttered. She smiled brightly and got up off the floor and spun around.
"I can see!!!" Kai just stared at her in astonishment. Just then the other guys came in, and saw Julia all happy. When she spun around, she saw them.
"Kai what's going on?" Ray asked. Julia smiled really big and jumped into Ray's arms and gave him a big hug.
"The most amazing thing happened!!"
Everyone looked at her with a confused face, "What?"
"I CAN SEE!!!! This calls for a celebration…SHOPPING!!!!!!" She ran out of the room, Max was the only one that made it out before it mysteriously shut, making Tyson slam his face into it.
"OW!!!! What happened?" Tyson rubbed his forehead; everyone didn't notice him because they were laughing so hard, except for Kai. Who was still shocked at what just happened.
******
"JULIA!!! WAIT UP!!!!!" Max huffed as he tried to catch up with her. She quickly stopped making him run right into her, both of them came flying.
"MAX!!!!"
"SORRY!!!" They both got up and brushed themselves off.
"I was hoping that nobody came with me," Julia said grinning slightly at Max.
"Well, let's just say that I came to keep you company and protect you from Steve."
Julia twirled her finger in the air, "My hero." They both giggled. Julia then quietly walked up to a decent house.
"What are we doing here?"
"Shhh! I need to get my purse," Julia said in a hushed voice.
"This is where you live?" Julia nodded and took Max by the arm and went inside. When she opened the door, she peered in before entering.
"Follow me," she led him up to a room, "Welcome to my room." She opened the door that led to a nice room. A little messy, but what do you expect from a fourteen year old. (Author's Note: All the guys are the same age, except for Kai and Ray who are a year older than the others. Tyson, Max, and Kenny are 14, and Ray and Kai are 15.)
"Where is your purse?" Max asked as he was looking through the stuff on her table.
"I don't know; I haven't been here in a while. Maybe I should pack a few things." She grabbed a bag and backpack. She threw clothes in the first one, and then started getting more personal things. She grabbed a stuffed Leopard that her grandmother had given when she was young.
Max giggled, "What's that?"
"It's a stuffed animal my grandmother gave me before she died."
"Oh sorry about that."
"Don't worry I get that all the time," Julia smiled, but quickly vanished when she heard the front door downstairs open and close.
"How are we going to get out of here!?!" Max asked looking around wondering how to get out of the two-story room. But Julia wasn't listening, she busy digging through her closet.
"Damn! Where's my purse!?!"
"There's no time to find it!"
"There's always time," Julia lifted up her hands and muttered something under her breath, there was a pop and there was her purse. Max was staring at her with wide eyes, but whipped his head towards the door. Whoever was there was now coming up the steps.
"What do we do?"
"Take my hand!"
"What for?" but he grabbed her hand anyway and grabbed one of her bags.
"Kashagkers" Julia said before…all of sudden he felt like he was being pulled somewhere else. Then he landed on his butt on cold concrete. Apparently they landed in an alley.
"What was that!?!"
Julia looked at him with a worried expression, "Promise you won't tell anyone! Especially Kai!"
Max gave one look at her face and gave in, "How can I say no?"
Julia squealed with happiness and hugged him around the neck, "How about a milkshake, my treat!" She said grinning and holding up her purse.
"Okay, but you have to tell me the whole appearing here and there."
******
Max and Julia found a nice little place and sat down outside.
"So tell that to me again." Max said as he took another sip of his milkshake.
Julia sighed, "I am part of an ancient line that has almost died off. We have special powers like, moving things with our minds, and teleportation, and…"
"So you're basically saying that you're a psychic."
"…Yeah you could say that."
"Can you read minds," Max asked now more curious than ever.
"No." Julia took another sip of her drink, but stood up abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Max asked.
"Hey!!! It's my old friend from China!"
"You lived in China?"
"Long story…Guys!!!!"
"Oh my God!!! Julia!!! Is that you!?!" Said a raven-haired girl as she ran over.
"Long time no see," Julia chuckled.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on here?" Max groaned. Julia looked at him and smiled.
Julia pointed to the girl, who had long black hair and brown eyes. Her outfit was a Chinese Style fighting type, yellow and red, and very much like Melin's from CCS except the sleeves are short and normal and she has a red sash on her waist and a pair of long pants under the skirt. "That's Crystalia, or Crystal."
"Come on Julia who's your friend?" Crystal said in smirk expression.
"This is Max, he and a few other guys are helping me out right now."
"WOW Julia I didn't know that you would attract THAT much attention."
"Crystal, you haven't changed a bit," Julia said shaking her head and chuckling.
"Aren't you forgetting someone?" A new voice said. They turned around to see another girl with purple streaks in her long black hair and slate grey eyes. Her outfit was Combat trousers, dark blue with a lightening bolt going up the sides of each leg, and a light blue tight hooded top.
"Tolaku?" Julia said in disbelief.
"In the flesh." Julia squealed with excitement and hugged her old friends.
"We got so much catching up to do," Julia said.
Tolaku nodded and pointed at Julia's face, "What happened to your eyes? There red now."
Julia face dropped remembering the past events, "Let me tell you on the way back." Everyone nodded.
******
Ray paced back and forth, while everyone else lounged around.
"Where could she be?" Tyson asked. As he was lying upside down on the couch. "Did you know if you stay in this position long enough it will make your head feel strange."
"A genius at work over here," mumbled Kai from the wall he was leaning against. Just then they heard loads of laughter and chatter. They ran to the front hall to see Max and Julia along with three other girls they didn't recognize.
"Did you really do that?" Yelped one of the girls with black hair.
"Yay, pretty silly huh?" Julia said as she scratched the back of her head.
"I could say that meets normal standards."
"TOLAKU!!!!"
"Just kidding, jeez can't you take a joke," the girl chuckled.
"Okay people more introductions!" Julia said as she ran over to the guys.
"That's Ray, Kai, Tyson, and Kenny!" Julia said pointing at all of them. "Guys meet my old friends Tolaku and Crystal."
"Hey Julia didn't you say that you lived in China?" Max asked.
"You lived in China?" Ray asked.
"Well, I'm originally from here, but moved to China when I was about six, a year before my parents died we moved back here," Julia explained.
"Oh…And you two?" Tyson asked Tolaku and Crystal.
"Yeah same here, but we just moved here. I'm so glad that we ran into Julia today!!" Crystal exclaimed excitedly.
"Uh? Question? Where are you two staying?" Kenny asked.
"In a hotel," said Tolaku. Julia turned to Tyson and gave him the puppy dog eyes.
Tyson took a step back, "Oh no! Ask Kai!!! For crying out loud he lives in a mansion!"
"My grandfather would not allow it," Kai stated as a matter of fact.
"Uh come on!! Let me talk to the old geezer and…." Tolaku stopped and looked everyone's face, "He's standing right behind me."
"Yeah," Max said sheepishly.
Tolaku turned around and her slate grey eyes settled on an old man. He looked furious.
"Did a say old geezer, I meant the exceptionally young looking man, and might I say your mansion is…"
"OUT!!!" The old man bellowed. It didn't take long for everyone to be out the door and gone.
Author's Note: I would like to thank Nightswift and psycho-chik for lending me my characters. And no I did not name one of the characters after me, it was all Nightswift. And I think she has good tastes!
Phoenix: *Grumbles*
Crystal: *giggles insanely and runs off*
Phoenix: Don't worry she'll be back, and right now she's trying to figure out what to do in the next chapter. All that's left is the farewell.
Cho!
