Disclaimer: I don't own Golden Sun, or the OCs that aren't really original,
they're real peeps!
A/N: YAY!!! Nice reviews! Thank you everyone! Erm, sorry if I'm posting this really quickly, but I really love writing, and hopefully this is going to be a long fic anyway! I'm quite proud of the twists - hopefully the plot will twist and turn like a...twisty turny thingie! Lol! Anyway, Read and Review, you wonderful peeps!

His eyes opened, but there was still darkness. What? Where was he? He started to panic.
Ivan heard a small whimper from the bed. "He's awake," he said. Selena went to grab a bag o ice, and held it to the bedridden figure.
"Where am I? Why is it so dark?"
"Shh," murmured Selena soothingly.
Karalen burst in. "David? You're awake!"
David turned to the voice. "Karalen? Is that you?"
Ivan stood up. "I'm here too, David. The girl with you is Selena."
"What's up with me? Why can't I see?"
"From what Leo and Saturos told us, you took quite a hit. You have severe burning, and the flash damaged your eyesight. I THINK it's only temporary, but I'm not sure."
David's eyes welled up. She THINKS? What if... He shook his head. He was supposed to be the positive one. He WILL get better!
Karalen came up to him, and hugged him gently. David winced from the burns slightly, and Karalen quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I'm not much of a healer," said Selena. She turned to look at Ivan. "Mia usually took care of that."
"Well, David is supposed to be our budding healer," sighed Ivan, "but in the state he's in, I doubt he will be doing THAT for a while. David, we're gonna go, and let Leo and Saturos come in. We don't want to overcrowd you, ok?"
David gave a small nod. "Get better, ok?" whispered Karalen. She followed the others out. David heard someone enter. "Hey."
"Hi Leo."
"Oh, man, you're in such a state." He breathed. "I'm sorry, I should have helped."
"No, its fine. I'm alive aren't I? When did Ivan..."
"Ivan heard that someone was after you, so they hurried here. They arrived shortly after you blacked out."
"And Saturos?"
"Not doing so well. I'd have never believed it, but I think he feels guilty." Leo stood up. "Get some rest. We need you, ok?"
"Ok." Said David quietly, as Leo closed the door.
Outside, he leaned against it, and exhaled loudly. "Why him?" he said aloud.
"I wonder that too." Said a small voice. Karalen came into view. "He's a nice guy, he didn't deserve that."
"What I want to know," frowned Leo, "is why are people after him?"
"Maybe he's done something bad?"
"What, David?"
"You can't judge people so easily. Look at Saturos. Who would have thought HE would pull through for us?"
"Maybe..." said Leo reluctantly.
-
Ivan was outside. Selena joined him. "So what now?"
"We find a ship. We still have a quest. We can head to Jupiter lighthouse first, and give David time to recover. We need him for Mars lighthouse."
"But we have Saturos."
"I still don't trust him."
Selena sighed. "So who DO you trust, Ivan? Isaac? Garet maybe?" she snapped.
"Ok, ok, point taken."
"Besides, how do you know we can trust David? Someone is after him, and we don't know why! And he isn't saying!"
"I'm hoping he will talk. Or I can just use Mind Read."
"What do you to think you're doing?"
They turned to see Karalen. "He's in there, hurt by YOUR friend," she glared at Ivan, "and you're gonna read his mind? When he's blind and helpless?!?"
She ran off.
"Karalen!" Ivan ran after her. Selena sighed. "So whom CAN you trust?" she said aloud.
"No one."
"How long have YOU been there Saturos?"
"Long enough. We cant trust anyone, but we WILL have to help each other." He stepped out from the shadows, and looked out to the sunset.
"You feel bad, don't you?"
"He did that for ME. I barely know him. And he wanted to help me before. The little twit!"
Selena smiled. "But this whole team is made of people like that. Do we stand a chance?"
"Not a chance in hell!" grinned Saturos.
They stood in silence.
"You should go see him."
Saturos nodded. "And tell him NEVER to do that again!"
"Saturos! You COULD just thank him."
Grudgingly, Saturos turned and went inside.
-
David lay awake. He hated not being able to see. Then, he felt someone stroking his cheek, softly.
"Who, who's there?" he wanted to yell, but it came out in a whisper. This was greeted by a kiss to his forehead, soft against the burns on his face.
David lay, frozen. He didn't dare move.
"David? Are you ok?"
"Huh?"
"Oh, sorry, you can't see can you? It's me, Saturos."
"Oh, hi!" Had he just dreamed that? He must have. He decided to dismiss it. For the moment, anyway.
"Look, I, erm, just wanted to say, erm, well, thanks."
"Don't mention it! And don't worry, I wont tell anyone! I don't want to damage your rep!" David smiled, and then winced at the pain.
"Get some rest." Said Saturos. David wished he could see if the man was smiling or not. Ah, well. He rolled over, carefully, and closed his eyes.
-
Ivan had looked everywhere for the young elf, but in vain. He hoped Karalen wasn't going to prove TOO much hassle. But they DID need a guide.
Then, he heard soft footsteps. He turned, and saw her trying to creep past.
"Damn! Busted!"
"Karalen. I'm sorry."
She looked at him, drawing herself up to her full 4"11. "Well, its NOT very nice! We ARE all trying to help."
Ivan laughed. Karalen may be a lot of things, but he liked her. She made him smile. He held out his hand. "Lets get something to eat. My treat, as an apology."
"But it was David you insulted."
"Well, I'll apologise to him later!"
Karalen grinned. "You're on!"
-
Selena awoke, and got dressed. Hmm, where would they find a boat? She racked her brains. Wait; didn't Ivan mention a boat in Lemuria? It used to belong to Babi, before he passed away. And Lemuria was nearby.
She told the others her idea. Ivan nodded, but Saturos pointed out: "We have to be careful. Some of them may well remember me."
"But they will ALL remember ME." Said Ivan. "It'll be fine. Just wear a hood and keep out of view."
They heard someone walk into something, followed by a curse, and then a figure stumbled into the doorway.
"David, what are you doing up?" asked Karalen, rushing to help the Fire Adept.
"I hope you're not gonna leave me!" he said. Ivan smiled. "No, but we ARE gonna leave you on the ship, at least until you're sight returns."
The now considerably larger troop headed north, to Lalivero. Saturos took it on himself at help David, who was using his staff as a walking stick. His burns were fading, but he was still blind. He grabbed David's arm, before we walked into ANOTHER tree.
"Look, just carry him, or something!" exclaimed Leo. "Or there won't be much left of him!"
Ivan looked at the young Venus Adept. He knew that Leo felt bad too, because David had tried to help him, and he had shied away. And now David needed help, and Leo couldn't do anything.
As they reached Lalivero, Ivan went on ahead to talk to Faran, now the mayor of the town.
The others decided to explore, except David, who kept breaking things, and Saturos, who didn't want to be noticed. They waited outside.
Selena and Karalen decided to do a bit of shopping. They left Leo choosing a weapon he could use - he couldn't ALWAYS depend on Psynergy.
They were looking at some fairly cheap outfits, when Selena felt something...
"Hey, my purse! STOP THIEF!!!"
A hooded figure sped into the crowd, the girls pursuing. The thief turned to see a VERY angry blue haired girl charging, mace drawn, but neglected to see the elf cannon into her, pinning her to the ground. Selena stood over them, pointing her mace at the thief menacingly.
"Ok, ok, I give!" Karalen pulled the thief up, and removed her hood. They saw the thief was a blond female.
"Lets take her to the others. I doubt Lalivero has any cells or anything." Said Selena, twisting the young thief's arm behind her back. As they approached Ivan and Leo, who had picked a small axe, Ivan's eyes went wide.
"Sheba?"

A/N: Ok, this chapter was mostly a filler, and it explored the characters a bit more, so apologies to all you action freaks out there! (And yes, Selena, you're character WILL get a chance to fight!) Read and Review, please! Even if you didn't like it! But I cry at flames, so don't be too mean!
