-
"Jenna?"
The woman looked up. "Selena?"
David looked at both of them, well, as best he could, and raised an eyebrow. "Do you two know each other?"
Jenna finished picking up her things. "Let's go inside." She gestured to a small house nearby.
-
"I saw Isaac..."
Jenna said nothing, but just stirred the mug of tea in front of her. "He's been in a bad way. About the miscarriage, and the Elders of Imil..."
"Well, that's an understatement!" said Selena bitterly.
"What do you mean?" asked Jenna.
"Nothing. May I use your bathroom?" Jenna nodded. "Upstairs on the left."
When she had gone, they sat in silence. After a few minutes, David turned to her. "Isaac killed her girlfriend, Lila I think it was."
"WHAT?!?"
"Shh, keep your voice down! Apparently, he's gone off the deep end!"
Jenna looked down at the table. "It's all my fault. All of this, and I KNOW my drinking hasn't helped, but it helps the pain go away."
"But only for a short time." Selena was stood in the doorway.
Jenna nodded. "I'm so sorry Selena. I had no idea he had gotten that bad. Maybe we could find Garet. Isaac always listened to him!"
David flinched at the name. Selena gestured to the now faded, but still evident burns, on David's face. "Who do you think did this, and damaged his eyesight?"
"What... what's happening to everyone?"
David shook his head. "Different circumstances. People aren't born to be innately good or bad, but their experience and situation dictate a lot of what happens."
Selena looked at him. David wasn't a killer, but events from the past had meant otherwise... What a mess...
-
"INFERNO!" Saturos leapt at the huge Griffin, flames exploding from his body into the creature.
Ivan dived past, avoiding a claw that scratched at him. "Destruct Ray!" Lightning shot into the creature's body.
Karalen was trying desperately to help her two fallen comrades, but they were both bleeding heavily.
Saturos hacked at the creature's hind leg. It shrieked in pain, and beat its wings to try and take off.
"No you don't," said Ivan grimly. He leapt upwards, slashing at the left wing with the Masamune. The creature fell back down, in pain.
Karalen saw her chance. She drew her bow, and aimed right for the Griffins head...
-
"So, how did you two meet?"
Selena looked at Jenna. "Do you mind if I tell him?"
Jenna shrugged. "It happened didn't it?"
Selena frowned. "No need to make it sound like it was such a bad thing!"
**Flashback**
"Jenna!"
"Mia!"
The two girls ran to embrace each other. "It's been so long!" said Jenna.
""18 WHOLE months!" agreed Mia.
"Mia, aren't you going to introduce us?" A third, younger woman with long, aqua blue hair like Mia, approached.
Mia smiled. "Jenna, this is Selena."
**End Flashback**
"That's how we met."
David scowled. "You KNOW what I mean!"
"Jenna, are you SURE you're ok for me to go on?" This was met by another shrug.
"Jenna and me got on rather well. Mia had been very glad - She thought I needed some good friends. During her stay, Jenna and me told each other everything. Jenna was currently staying with her boyfriend, Isaac, and I had a girlfriend, Lila. She had been totally ok with the fact I had a girlfriend."
**Flashback**
They were walking outside in Imil, the sun had set and it was getting cold.
"Sometimes, I just wish Lila would pay more attention to me. She's always so busy."
"I know the feeling. Isaac takes on so many responsibilities, it's almost as though I don't exist!"
They walked on in silence. "I miss being cuddled, and being told how much he loves me..." said Jenna softly. Selena put her arms around the older Adept.
"Well, I may not be your lover, but I AM your friend. I think Isaac is a fool not to tell you what a wonderful person you are."
Jenna looked at her for a moment. Then they kissed.
**End Flashback**
David's jaw was open. "Then what?!?"
"Jenna...spent the night." Selena blushed, "and the next morning we agreed not to mention it. We both had people we didn't want to hurt."
Jenna decided to go into the kitchen.
"Jenna, I swear if you TOUCH any alcohol, I will never forgive you!"
Jenna came back into the room, blushing.
"You've got to stop this drinking!" said Selena.
Jenna nodded, and then looked down. Her hair fell over her face, but her body betrayed the fact she was crying.
"Oh, Jenna!" Selena rushed over to her, and embraced her. David stood up.
"Do you hear that? It sounds like Karalen!"
-
Ivan and Saturos were carrying Sheba and Leo respectively.
Karalen was running around town.
"SELENA! DAVID! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!?!?"
Selena ran from Jenna's house, Jenna and David following. She saw the state of her two companions.
"Get them on the ship, NOW!" she ordered.
-
Leo slowly opened his eyes. And wished he had stayed asleep. The pain was TERRIBLE! He saw David, trying to bandage his wounds, but squinting slightly. His eyesight was still pretty bad.
He swore.
Leo smiled. "Never thought I would hear you say a bad word!" he laughed, but then sharp pain shot through him."
"You're awake! Thank Mars!"
"But I feel dead!"
"Nah, the dead don't feel anything. Especially not pain." David frowned, tying another bandage into place. He then rummaged through his pouch, and took out some dried herbs. He mixed them into a glass of water, and held it to Leo's lips.
"Drink this, it will help with the pain."
Leo sipped it, and nearly gagged. "That stuff's awful!"
"Hey, didn't say it was nice!" said David, smiling. "Get some sleep. That's the best way to heal."
"But I've only just woken up!"
"Don't argue with me!" David grinned. "Doctors orders!"
He was about to go, when Leo grabbed his arm. "I'm sorry, for being a jerk, and everything. And... I overheard your conversation with Selena the other day."
"We all have our secrets," said David. "Maybe one day, you will tell us yours."
He stepped out side, and saw a blurry blond haired person.
"How is he?" Ivan asked.
"Awake. And healing." David's smile faded. "What about Sheba?"
Ivan looked down. "She's in a coma. Jenna and Selena have done everything they can, but we're not sure..." Ivan's voice broke as tears came to his eyes. "We're not sure if she'll ever wake up."
-
A/N: So much angst! Poor Sheba! (Sigh) The things I have to do for a plot! Hmm, Jenna and Selena. The flashback was a slight hint of the fluff I love so much, but I will be strong, and keep up the angst for the moment - I don't want to ruin the mood yet! Please give nice Reviews, and don't flame me Sheba fans! I'm VERY sorry!
