/A.N./ I loved all of the reviews. A special thanks to Luna fox for all
of her wonderful reviews, as well as to everyone else that reviewed;
they're what keeps me writing (Kimberly paid me so I don't have a bet to
write for anymore!). So here's the next chapter; I hope you like it and
PLEASE REVIEW!!
Tyr glared at Beka in response.
"Shhhh! It's okay. I won't let anyone hurt you. You don't have to be afraid. Shhh." Harper whispered soothingly, as he began whipping away her tears with his thumbs. Isa calmed a little, but was still crying hysterically. "Hey, tell yah what. I will do anything you want me to if you please stop crying." Harper tried. Isa couldn't help it; she began laughing and crying at the same time. "Please stop." Harper pleaded.
"What- What if I don't?" Isa giggled through her tears.
"Then your gonna end up making me cry." Harper replied. He would say anything to make her stop crying.
"Alright, I'll stop." Isa said pulling away from Harper and beginning to clear the rears from her face. Harper took one of his, now free, hands and rubbed it in soothing circles on Isa's back.
"Better?" He asked while gently running his other hand up and down one of Isa's arms. She glanced quickly at Tyr then shifted he still teary eyes back to Harper. Taking in a deep breath she replied?
"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine." She gave him a clearly fake smile. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel bad."
"Well, the truth is you didn't. I just said that so you'd stop crying." Harper replied honestly. 'Why the hell am I all of the sudden telling the truth. Normally I would have lied through my teeth." Harper thought not noticing the almost heart-wrenching expression on Isa's face.
"Oh." Isa felt as if she was going to cry again. 'Don't cry you silly goo head. Don't you dare cry. You haven't cried in front of anyone since you were six-years-old, and you just made a complete fool of yourself in front of people you don't even know!' Isa shut her eyes tight as she fought back the second wave of tears that threatened to spill out, while she continued mentally berating herself. Harpers noticed Isa shut her eyes tight and not open them again; he also noticed the fresh tears that began to seep through, from between her tightly closed eyelids. He was about to say something to comfort her when:
"I think we should all just give Miss Julson some time alone." Dylan said quietly and motioning for everyone to leave. Tyr was the first to do so. 'That boy doesn't know what he's getting into!' Tyr thought to himself ax he watched Harper ogle over some 'thing'. Beka, Trance, and Rommie followed, whispering to each other about what had just happened. Harper was still sitting next to Isa, who has now (as painful as it would have been) wrapped her arms around her knees and had her head resting on them (her arms).
"Harper?" Dylan asked, concerned for the young man.
"I'm commin'." He replied sadly, as he hoped off of the bed. He turned back to Isa, brushed away the hair from the side of her face, and gently kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear, and then he turned and left with Dylan. Isa lifted her head and watched them to.
"I'm cursed." Isa stated plainly to herself (when the two men were gone.) and allowing the tears to pour out over her cheeks. "Why? Why the hell did I have to be a Magi! Why couldn't I be a Nietzschean, or a human?" She made each species sound so special. "Oh hell! I could be the devil in carnet and still be like better than this!" Taking a moment to think. "An Harper. What was he sorry for? Sorry that he was so kind and sweet and cute and understanding and really cute and compassionate and super cute and helpful and drop-dead gorgeous." Isa finished, her smile getting bigger every time she said that he was cute.
"Isa, do you always talk to yourself?" Andromeda popped into view.
"Yes. Were you listening to me?"
"Yes."
"Please don't tell Harper I said that." She began wiping the tears away.
"I won't, but you need to tell everyone what species you are, otherwise they may never trust you."
"Alright I will. So, the only reason you're here is to ask me if I always talk to myself?"
"No that no the only reason. Someone wants to see you."
"Tell Harper that I need to be alone for a while."
"It's not Harper. Actually, you haven't met this person yet."
"Why not?"
"Because he wasn't quite sure how you would react to his appearance."
"What made him change his mind?"
"Well, when I herd you say that you were a Magi, I thought that it would probably be alright."
" Sure, okay." Isa shrugged. After a few minutes Rev walked through the door, wearing his orange wayist robe and medallion.
"Hello." Isa greeted him when he entered the room.
"Hello." Rev greeted her in return. Andromeda smiled:
"Rev this is Isa Julson. Isa this if Rev Bem."
"Nice to meet you." Rev said as he extended his hand to shake hers.
"It's a pleasure." Isa replied and shook his hand.
