Something poked her in the ribs.
"Unf...stop...five more minutesh..." Jenna rolled over onto her other side. The thing poked her back, this time harder. Jenna grunted and held out her palm.
"Shtop...Flare..." she said sleepily. A stream of fire was unleashed from her hand. There was a light yelp, then the sound of water. She heard someone say something, then woke with a start...to find herself soaking wet.
"ALEX!" Jenna yelled, jumping up. "Why'd you do that?"
The blue-haired Mercury Adept smiled mysteriously. "You needed to wake up."
Jenna growled. "That doesn't mean you have to use Douse on me!"
Alex laughed. Jenna growled deeply, then raised her hand in the air.
"FLARE!"
Alex stopped laughing. Jenna looked triumphant. "Ha!"
"Um...Alex? Jenna? Can you two stop?" the two adepts looked up to see an impatient Felix. Alex smirked.
"You don't have to worry about your sister, Felix. I won't do anything."
"You better not," Felix growled. Alex simply laughed and walked over to Saturos and Menardi. Jenna watched his back as he left.
"What was that about?" she asked. Felix laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"Nothing, nothing...don't worry about it. Just pick up your stuff."
Jenna looked at him suspiciously before moving to pick up her belongings. "How soon until we reach Vault?" she asked her brother.
"It'll take a few hours if we hurry. Hopefully Isaac and Garet won't catch up to us."
"Felix! Jenna!" the two siblings looked up to the sound of Menardi's voice. "Let's go. We have to travel with some speed. We're already going to be slowed down by the old man...." Menardi looked at Kraden with some distain.
"Why don't you leave me here, then?" the scholar asked happily, before returning to lecturing a squirrel about the elements. Menardi blinked. That WOULD be nice, buuuuut....
"No, Menardi, we're not leaving him here," Saturos said with a smirk. The female Mars Adept rolled her eyes.
"All right, then. Let's go! NOW" she yelled, grabbing Kraden roughly by the arm. The old man looked surprised, then for some reason yelled out to the squirrel, "Remember, everything is composed of elements!"
Jenna shook her head at the scholar and followed the two other Mars Adepts, Felix behind her, and Alex bringing up the rear.
The squirrel watched them go, then shook his head at Kraden's actions. "What an idiot," it squeaked to itself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We're here."
Jenna looked up with surprise at the small town of Vault. They had been walking for hours, but she hadn't noticed the hours pass by, she was busy thinking(AN. About Garet! Jenna: Damn right!) about the lighthouses her brother and the others were so set on lighting.
"Hi, welcome to the town of Vault! Did you feel that earthquake earlier? Some things got stolen in it..." he finished sadly. Menardi frowned, then shook her head and dragged Kraden into the nearby inn, who was now speaking about the properties of matter. As they got up to the counter, Menardi suddenly dropped Kraden and his head hit the floor with a bang, knocking him out cold. The innkeeper frowned.
"Will he be okay?" he asked.
"Hopefully not...." Menardi muttered under her voice. Saturos gave her an odd look and smiled at the innkeeper.
"Don't worry about him. Could we get...3 rooms?"
"'Course. Fifty coins. Ya know, there've been some strange happenings... any of you know anything about it?"
Saturos gave a quick shake of his head and held his hand out for the key.
"Right, right...you have rooms 10, 11, and 12, right up the stairs. A maid'll come get you for supper."
Saturos nodded in response and beckoned to the others, who obligingly followed him, Menardi dragging Kraden(with his head scraping against the floor...).
"Jenna, you and Menardi shall be in this room, I will bunk with Kraden here, and Felix and Alex, I imagine you smart enough to figure the rest out on your own. When the maid comes, meet me out in the hall."
Menardi handed Kraden to Saturos, his head bobbing like a rag doll. Alex rolled his eyes and stepped up to the scholar, holding his hand above a nice lump on the old man's head.
"Ply..."
Jenna watched as a tiny fairy descended upon Kraden, with its wand raised. It sprinkled some sparkling bits of energy onto him, then vanished. The young Fire Adept blinked.
"Uh...what was that?" she asked. The others looked at her in surprise, as if just realizing she was there. Alex answered her.
"Ply is a power passed on from generation to generation by the Mercury clan. It is the reason why Mercury Adepts are regarded as healers."
"Oh."
Alex nodded. "Well, let's adjourn, shall we? I would like some rest before we eat."
The others nodded and disappeared into their respective rooms. Menardi carefully laid her scythe against the wall while Jenna flopped onto the bed next to the window.
"So...who was the other Fire Adept with you in Sol Sanctum? You're boyfriend?" Menardi asked, breaking the silence.
Jenna turned a deep, dark red. Garet, her boyfriend?! Well...the thought was a nice one.
"Ah...no." she answered. "He's...just one of my best friends."
Menardi smirked. "You want it to be more, don't you?"
Jenna, if possible, turned even redder. "Ah...um..."
"Oh, he wants it too. Didn't you see how worried he was about you, even turning over the Elemental Stars just to get you back? He must care a lot about you."
Jenna jumped off the bed. "I-I'm going for a walk!"
Menardi smirked even more. "You *do* feel the same way! How sweet. Oh, just stay inside Vault."
Jenna nodded and ran out of the in, hundreds of thoughts filling her head. One caught her attention, and she stopped to ponder it.
'Does Garet really love me?'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I need to have longer chapters.
Jenna: Who cares?! You put Garet/me fluff!
Minagi: You're right. The chapters should be longer.
Jenna: HE-LLO?? Garet/Jenna romance?! Wake up! That's the best thing you could put in a story!
While I do agree with you, Jenna, my chapters should be longer.
Seto: Blue-Eyes, White Lightning!
