"Brandon! Wake up!" I screamed. My voice was unusually desperate. "Brandon, please get up!" I could faintly see his figure raise from the chair. "Wha? Raseyu?" He rubbed his eyes, and made his way across the room. "Where are you?" "Here." I said yanking him into a closet. Rase-" "Shush." I placed two fingers against my lips. "They're here looking for me." "Who?" Brandon's face was full of concern. "Bounty hunters. Maybe some police." I replied bitterly, while loading a pistol. "That won't do shit, Raseyu. You'll need a caster if anything." "I'll do better with this. It has better aim." My heart was pounding. *Ahhh...yes. Another great escape by Raseyu.* I had no idea what I was going to do if they caught me. "Do you have your stuff?" Brandon asked. I shook my head, "No. I'm just carrying this jacket. It'll do for now, plus I have some clothes in my ship." Someone began slamming their fists against the door, startling me. "Go answer the door. I'll slip out through the window." Brandon reluctantly stepped out of the closet. "Raseyu-" I stepped out, and stopped him in mid-sentence. "Brandon, I promise I'll come back. As soon as I can, I'll be back here." Even though he was smiling, you could still see his eyes beginning to tear up. We both turned, him leaving to answer the door, and me running to the window. I opened it, and looked down. "Please, don't let me break my neck or somethin' when I jump," I prayed silently, then jumped. I landed in a puddle of water. The cold water splashed against my legs, but I didn't care. I ran quickly, causing the muddy water to slide off. "I bet I look real odd running around in a nightgown and jacket," I said aloud. I didn't even remember putting my gown on, but I obviously did sometime during the night. A quick image of Brandon ran through my mind, making me stop in time to hear a gun shot ring through the night air. My eyes grew wide upon the realization of what had just happened. "Brandon." Again the name rolled off my lips without my knowing.
"Nice to see you again." I said staring at Gene. "It's always nice to see a pretty girl." He grinned. I was amazed we had met up on Mars. "Looks like there's someone else in your group now." I glanced to a young woman with a black ponytail, pale skin, and lips painted red. She quickly turned and spoke, "Gene, I will be leaving now." She walked away. "Soooo, where's that guy who seemed so attracted to you?" I gasped slightly. I had never felt as sorrowful as this. "Brandon is gone." Gene's expression changed quickly. "Huh!? What happened to him?" I bowed my head, trying not to look at any of them. "He's dead. And it's 'cause of me." "You killed him?!" Gene blurted out. "No!!" I shouted, stepping on his foot with my boot. He yelped out, and immediately grabbed his foot. *Idiot* I thought to myself. "I'm gone. Bye, Mel. Bye, Jim," I winked at the young boy. "Uh- bye." He replied sheepishly. "Hey! Where ya goin'?!" Gene screamed. I closed my eyes, bowing my head, and smiled, "Home."
I walked around for awhile. I had no real destination, just wanted to clear my mind. I finally decided to stop by a restaurant. "Can I have a coffee?" Coffee? That was an odd choice of drink for me. It was usually some kind of alcohol. "Sure, Hun." The tiny waitress smiled sweetly, her glossy red lips shining even more. I took a seat at a table near the window, and stared at the people passing by. *Since Gene and his group were here, someone else might be. So I need to be on guard.* I looked up as I heard someone open the door to the restaurant. A tall man, in his twenties, walked in. I laid my head on the table, and watched him speak with the waitress. "How long does it take to make coffee?" I whispered to myself, noticing him approaching my table. "Hey, anyone sittin' here?" He slid into the seat across from me before I could answer. "Go right ahead. It seems it wouldn't have mattered if someone were sitting there anyway." "Well, aren't you just lil Miss Personality?" I sighed, and raised up. "Maybe I wouldn't be so cold, if you weren't so rude." The waitress set my coffee on the table and left. I picked up the mug, and took a sip. "Bleh. Never thought coffee was that...strong." But, of course, I'd never drank coffee in my whole life, so I didn't have a clue what it tasted like. "Never drank coffee before?" I noticed him taking a whiff of the drink. It's amazing to me how something smells so good, but can taste so awful. "Nope. I'm too attached to my Vodka and such." I continued sipping the drink, even though it was so strong. "Same here. Oh yeah, I'm Arurenu." I set the mug down, "Heh. Nice name. Mine's Raseyu." I ran my finger around the rim of the mug. "That's a pretty name, it fits such a beautiful face." I perked a brow, stifling laughter. "I bet it does." My sarcasm was deathly eminent. He laid his head on the table, and stared at the clock on the wall. "Why're you here?" I asked, poking him. "I dunno. Trying to get my mind off women." He spoke without looking at me. "Oh." I noticed his black hair covered his eyes. "Why you here?" His voice was muffled. "I'm just running away." "From what?" "Life, bounty hunters...myself." I watched Arurenu brush his hair back. He seemed very familiar to me. "Here," I shoved the mug to Arurenu, "You can have the rest." He stared at the mug momentarily, " Thanks. You leavin' or somethin' ?" "Yeah." I rose and walked to the door. "See ya." I waved, then stepped through the door.
"Permission to launch. Granted." I nodded to the man, and ended the transmission. I closed my eyes and let my mind race, as the ship launched. Opening my eyes, for a moment, I watched the orange sky change to black. "It's amazing how damn fast these things are." I smiled, then unbuckled myself. My hip bumped against the seat as I floated towards the back. "Here I am again...in trouble. Great, I'll prob'ly die too." I leaned against the wall and momentarily closed my eyes. "Maybe Earth will be safer," My eyes gazed at the flickering florescent light above. "Maybe no one will look for me there." I shifted my glare to the cockpit, and watched the stars, the same stars I had seen the night I ran away. I quickly turned and made my way to the back of the ship, where I could hopefully rest. "I hope Brandon is okay." You could barely hear my whispered voice because the door, to my room, was opening. "Oh my God!" I stared into the room wide eyed, "What are you doing here!?"

I was reading the last chapter of this fic, and noticed how short it was. So this one is kinda longer (I think) Oya, yet another chap. that is quite a few days over date. I need to stop saying a chap. will be up by a certain day. But yet again, we had another snow day. Mwahahahaha...the person in charge let us out for less than an inch of snow. It wasn't even icy outside, but I'm not complaining. *sigh* Omg..I never really mention parents in this part, so I shall now. My mom annoys the sheeit outta me. She screams at me for everything. If she broke something while I'm out at a friend's house, as soon as I get home she'll scream at me...saying I was the cause of it. Oi...That's all my ranting for now. Anywhoo...Next chapter should be up by next Thursday (I say Thursday, because that seems to be the day I usually post the chapters.)
