Chapter Nine: Without
-----
it's my fault/ it's all my fault/ all i wanted was you/ but i had to mess it up so badly/ it's me who's to shame/ it's me who's to blame/ mind lit with feelings of uncertainty/ my heart is in denial and i haven't slept for quite a while/ i don't wanna see any more/ i don't wanna breathe anymore...
Jason woke up on the beach next to Rita. He looked around, confused. What exactly...did he do? What was the ting keeping him from his memories? And why was she just so close? All of his questions would remain unanswered...for the time being. He shook himself back to reality, and stood up. He decided to let Rita sleep, he'd be back, soon enough. The sun was high, it was probably shortly after noon. They had a long night, and Jason was sure David and Michelle had taken off for their homes, giving up. Sure enough, the two were gone when Jason returned to the campsite. They didn't go far though. Jason caught up to them on a mountain trail leading back to Tolbi.
'Jason, go away.' David said. 'We know what you did back there, and we don't want to see you ever again.'
'What have I done?' Jason said, puzzled.
'Did you see Rita this morning?' Michelle said, angrily.
'Erm, I would believe that was her...wait a minute...was it?' Jason said.
His mind was hazy, like he had an awful case of amnesia, or he had been hit over the head with something. Where did Rita go? And why were David and Michelle so angry at him?
'David, let's leave this creep here, and continue towards Tolbi.' Michelle said, with a tone of voice so spiteful and angry, Jason flinched.
'Wait a minute, Michelle. What exactly happened anyway, Jason? Do you have any idea? And don't play dumb. We'll just...show him, Michelle.'
Michelle pulled a short sword from her pack. She made a throat slitting motion. Obviously, they were unhappy campers.
'Guys, I'm deadly serious...' Jason said.
'Are you sure those are the right words to say now? Are you threatening us? Threatening Rita? Tell me, now, punk!' Michelle said, with fire in her eyes.
'I swear it, guys...whatever I did back there, I have zero recollection of. I can barely remember where the hell I am. All I know is that Rita had already gone when I woke up. But WHY!?' Jason said, falling to his knees in tears.
'David, Michelle, go. I don't want you guys to get hurt.' Jason said, in his tearful rage.
'Jason...are you really alright? Do you need us to stay or something?' David said, with a tone of sympathy in his voice that wasn't present minutes ago.
'David! Don't show mercy to this loser. Should we kill him?' Michelle said.
'Michelle, do what you will. I know what Jason has done was wrong, but must we punish him with death? Should we be that harsh?' David said, turning to Michelle.
'Shut your mouth, sissy boy.' Michelle said, raising the blade.
As the blade came down with crushing force over Jason, David careened into Michelle, knocking her over, and causing him to receive the brunt of the slash. Bleeding heavily, he just sat there and waited. He had vowed to Mia, never to heal, even if he himself was dying. He just chuckled as he died, shaking his head in utter disbelief. Michelle was on the ground, but conscious, and unharmed. Her eyes had turned thin and searing, her look positively venomous. She snarled at Jason and picked her sword back up. She stood to her feet, ready to deliver a second killing blow. The moments got longer and further in between. The look on Jason's face was one of determined fear, the look on Michelle's angry and evil. She hovered over him like a plague, she was ready to mark his death day as this one. A lunge out of the shadows sent Michelle to the ground with a staff protruding through her arm. David, in his final blast of energy, sent Michelle a 'thank you' gift. He smiled warmly to Jason, nodded, and closed his eyes.
'Why, you evil, conniving wretch, why? Why did you have to do this? WHY, you evil wretch...' Jason said, shaking his head in disgust. 'You're...not from Nuzei, are you? You aren't the holy child they talked about years ago that healed her whole town... You...you're Tolbian, aren't you!? You're the cause of Garet's, Phil's, David's death...probably Rita's...the entire towns of Sumera and Orimali were decimated... You scum of the planet. You're the most wretched ***** to walk the Earth, you know that, right?'
He stood to his feet, and drew his sword. 'Michelle, I don't know how you've deceive us for so long. That's why they knew where we were.'
'You know...' Michelle said painfully, using her good hand to remove the staff from her arm. She pulled a gun from her bag, stood up, and pointed it at Jason. 'You know far too much for an insolent child. Specifics don't matter. It doesn't matter if you were 40, you're still a little filthy child. And now, you're coming with me.'
