"So this is it... Never expected our encounter to turn out like this, didja, Serge...?" she said looking at the boat already fixed up.
She looked up at him and seemed to give an apologetic smile. He shook his head inwardly, if she thought at all that this was her fault she was completely wrong, but then again Kid was know for being a bit stubborn.
"Why were wee born? Why do wee live?" Starky's shrill voice interrupted both their thoughts.
Kid's smirk widened "That's what we're gonna find out with our own eyes!" she said jumping to the pier next to Starky
Serge turned to Starky and smiled "Thanks for installing the device, would you like to come with us to Terra Tower?"
Starky turned to Serge and simply moved his head from side to side like he always did.
"Starky don't know, Starky not veery strong and Serge has the same iinnate as Starky, better taake someone stronger."
Serge nodded and Kid smiled as he took out the Tele-porter.
"Has anyone eva told ya how cute ya are?" she put her hand over his helmet as Starky lowered his head and did something like blush. Serge raised an eyebrow as Starky began to fade and Glenn appeared in his place.
"Dammit Serge, would you tell me when you're about to tele-port me? I was scoring big time! Who ever was with you just now is probably getting kissed."
Kid didn't even try to hold in her laughter as Serge smirked as well.
"So what's up?" he asked
"We're going to Terra Tower, are you in for it?"
"Hell yeah, you have a way to get there?"
Kid who had jumped in the boat pointed to the strange device on the back as Serge hopped in as well. Glenn shrugged as was the last to get in the boat, after that Kid pushed a button or two as the boat started to rattle
"Let's do it." She said a smile adorning her face
Serge nodded and grabbed the mast of the sail for support as the ship began to lift off the water. Terra Tower, where all the answers lay, where everything would be told and understood, where the earth would be saved, and it was up to them. The smile faded from his face as determination washed over him and the increasing wind toyed with his hair.
"Enjoying the night air Serge? Chill out. looks like you're out for blood. we got bigger problems at hand." he heard Glenn from behind
He turned to see his friend smirking as the cool night air brushed his bangs to and fro, then he watched as he signalled with his eyes to the left side of the boat.
"Nobody told me this stupid thing would be flying so damn high."
He watched a bit surprised as Kid was practically hanging on the sail for dear life. Was she?
"Afraid of heights?" asked Glenn
"Shut up! I ain't scared. just not, comfortable when me feet ain't touching firm land."
This was enough to send Glenn's head back in a laughing fit, Serge just watched still not fully convinced that Kid. his Kid was scared of something like hights.
"Are you ok?" he asked stepping over
"I'm fine, dammit, but get him to shut up! Enjoy your time while ya can cuz when we get to the Tower don't think you'll just get off with havin' have laughed at me! She warned raising her voice with ever word.
Glenn shook his head "Of heights?"
"Ohhhhh!" she started
"Hey don't get mad at me! He's the one who hasn't told you where we went." He pointed to Serge then chuckled "Of heights."
he began to laugh harder but was interrupted as something hit him square in the face. The ice gun. He groaned as it slid slowly off him and seconds later, he was lying face first on the floor of the boat. Unconscious. A small bead of sweat made it way silently down Serge's face as he watched the scene then turned to a red faced Kid.
She gave a hmp noise as she settled back to her post hugging position.
"He may be dumb, but he made a point Serge."
'damn.'
"You neva did tell me where it is you went. to save me."
His face returned to it's normal seriousness as he looked to where she sat. he stared at her for the longest time, before Kid gave an exasperated sigh.
"Serge fer crying out loud what's the big deal?! You've saved me twice before What makes it different this time?"
"I saved you from your past." he interrupted
her angry grip on the mast loosened as she looked at him in silence. He did nothing to call her attention or continue so she gathered up some courage and let go of her post, crawling on the boat floor to where he was sitting. Once by his side, she looked over to him again.
"My past?"
He nodded "Orlha, Glenn and I travelled back 10 years, in your life line. To save you from your own past."
She did the math, and her eyes widened slightly.
"You were at the orphanage?" she asked quietly
"I saw everything."
She really wasn't listening anymore. she was back at that horrible memory, it was only in bits and pieces, but she remembered something clear as crystal. Lynx, with his stupid clown by his side. Yet. when she saw his face, he really wasn't looking at her, but above her, past her, at something else.
"All I did was get you out of the house. then I had to come back."
~'No no! what about sis? She didn't want to get away, even though her lungs burned and her skin hurt. Lucca. what about her.' Yet.~
her breathing became troubled causing Serge's face to twist with worry
"Kid?"
~a strong hand pulled her, it was useless to resist. he was bigger and stronger than her. so she followed him out of the room, her eyes fogged with tears. as she saw him jump over a heap of burning logs. She couldn't do that. maybe he should just leave her to die here. more tears came, then she noticed he was by her side again, arms out stretched.
She was scared, she didn't know him at all, what if he was one of the cat demons' friends. but, she coughed as her little body shook roughly, and he didn't wait for her to accept his arms, he simply swept her off her feet and jumped over the burning logs.
With her small arms pushed against her body, she leaned her head on his chest as he protectively hugged her tighter running out of the house. Against her ear she could hear agitated breathing and a quick heartbeat. She felt him jump off the front porch and instinctively her arms wound around his neck. As he ran harder towards the dark forest. The noise behind her made her whimper as she could only imagine the cabin falling to the ground.
After a while the man's pace slowed to a jog, and eventually to a walk, then finally he stopped still panting and set her down on the cool grass.
The first thing she did was turn back, to where they had come from, and she saw it. it was real. it was really happening. no. her home.
She cried in front of the stranger and he just listened, without moving or saying a word. he had saved her. he wasn't bad. he had just saved her. but, who was he. she had never seen him before. he was probably going to leave her alone again. no.she stepped towards him, trying to catch a glimpse at his face. The face of the man who cared enough about her to rescue her.
He kneeled down and extended his arms to her, she gladly pushed herself against him, feeling the steady thump of his heart under her ear again. She looked to his leg where he had a nasty burn, probably from the monsters or having jumped over the fire with her. He had gotten hurt because of her. she set a gentle hand next to the wound and looked up to see his arms covered in yucky red patches as well, he was really hurt, these continued on his chest and neck and. his face.
She could see. tears mixed with blood and black ash run down his face and moistened her hair. he was crying. he with the red bandanna, long blue bangs over those soft sea blue eyes. crying for her.
Tears spilled from her eyes as well as she looked into those depths, she didn't even know why... until he.... she gasped, the began to sob, all over again.
"Kid!"
"Snap out of it Kid!"
two male voices made her jump as she opened her eyes again. Over her stood Glenn with a small band aid on his head and Serge, looking worried. as usual. Had she passed out?
"Are you ok?" asked Serge
"What was that all about?"
her thoughts wandered to her dream. no it wasn't a dream, it was a memory, a lost memory, awakened by Serge. it felt awful! It felt as if she were living it for the first time, yet she recognised every emotion she had felt....
Serge.
"I'm fine. sorry, I just. I'm fine. really." she explained to both of them.
They didn't believe her obviously, but Glenn knew better than to argue with her right now. he went over to the back of the boat to sit back. Serge's gaze still pierced her eyes as she went to sit on a bench of the boat.
Serge.
It had been him. he had saved her. he had. how could she have forgotten? How could she have not recognised him. but she did, the 'first' time she saw him, there was something, there had always been something in his eyes. how could she have forgotten?
Without making any noise he sat beside her, looking out to sea, they were almost there, and he could see the tower's huge size now, but right now something else concerned him.
Turning to his right he was a bit surprised to see sad eyes and a smile on her face, and gave a silent gasp as two slender arms wound around his middle and her head was placed in the crook of his neck.
"Thank you... for saving me."
Glenn looked back at the scene just as surprised as Serge, then he smirked. "Kids." he murmured
~~~~*°*~~~~
¬¬ hmmmmmmmmm kinda weird, but what the hell, I hope you enjoyed and don't forget to leave a review! I'm almost at 50!!! Thank you so so so much! ^^ see ya in about ¬¬ tomorrow. hehehe
