Come Back to Me

By: Crystal of Psyche

Chapter 12: Mysterious Girl

Author's Note: Next chapter coming up!

Ashley walked down the street of the war beaten street of the city, she had a bunch of grocery bags in one hand, Mark was currently strapped to her back, and she was currently reading the newspaper in her other hand. She wasn't really paying attention to the world around her, until something made her stop at the opening to a alleyway. She peered in it, a bit cautious.

"Ashley Tauros I presume?" a voice called from behind her, Ashley spun around in surprise, to see a teenage girl standing there staring at her with bright unnatural violet eyes. Her messy green hair quickly done into a ponytail, her clothing was a long-long sleeve shirt, and jean pants.

"Who are you?" Ashley asked getting a little bit freaked that this teen knew her name. When she has never seen her in her life. The girl merely stood there staring at her with those violet eyes that seemed to pierce her soul.

~*~Think you're going nowhere~*~

~*~When you're walking down the street~*~

~*~Acting like you just don't care~*~

~*~When life could be so sweet~*~

"I am here to help," she said calmly. Ashley had another strange gut feeling with this girl like she did with Bevin and Leena.

"What help? Why do you think that I need help from you?" Ashley said taking another stop more into the alleyway. The teen sighed and shook her head before looking at Ashley again.

~*~Why you wanna be like that~*~

~*~As if there's nothing new~*~

~*~You're not fooling no one~*~

~*~You're not even fooling you~*~

"You are on the right track," she said pointing some invislble thing out. "There is something special about Leon's family. They all have certain gifts, as you can see with Bevin and Leena."

Ashley was scared now, she wished she didn't go alone by herself. "Why do you know all this about us!!?! I shouldn't trust a mysterious person!!

"ARE YOU BLIND!!! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!! LOOK AROUND!!!" the teen shouted making Ashley jumped even more. Finally that gut feeling came back to reminding her about the good vibe she had gotten from Leena. She was now getting something similar from this girl.

~*~So walk a little slower~*~

~*~And open up your eyes~*~

~*~Sometimes it's so hard to see~*~

~*~The good things passing by~*~

"Alright I trust you," Ashley said calmly. The girl let a sigh with relief, she then folded her arms over her chest, and leaned against the wall.

~*~There might never be a sign~*~

~*~No flashing neon light~*~

~*~Telling you to make your move ~*~

~*~Or when the time is right~*~

The girl went through her pocket, fishing out a disk. She checked it and offered it to Ashley, "Take it, these are the missing files from the hospital Bit stayed at when he was little. You won't be surprised that it's the Axis of Evil again, would you?" Ashley hesitated before taking the disk and putting it in one of her bags. "If you try to hack into the computer system you won't find anything except of the normal surgery he had."

Ashley looked confused, "Why?" This teen girl knew more than she looked.

"The Syndicate didn't want to leave any evidence behind, fortunately I got it out in time before they destroyed what they thought of the only files."

~*~ (So) Why not (Why not) ~*~

~*~Take a crazy chance~*~

~*~Why not (Why not) ~*~

~*~Do a crazy dance~*~

~*~If you lose a moment~*~

~*~You might lose a lot~*~

~*~So why not~*~

~*~Why not~*~

~*~Why not~*~

~*~Take a crazy chance~*~

~*~Why not~*~

~*~Take a crazy chance~*~

"How is that possible!?! You look only 16 years old!! You must be over thirty years old to get that type of information from the hospital files!!" Ashley blurted out. Mark who was asleep the whole time, woke up and started crying. Ashley tried to calm him as the girl just observed.

"I knew you would carry him," she said looking at Mark. Ashley looked up and tried to look at her, but the alleyway was empty. She looked around trying to find that teen girl, but she had disappeared. She dug into one of her bags and pulled out the disc of the hospital information, she then looked around again. But still no girl.

"So it wasn't just my imagination."

*****

Leena slowly walked up to her father's door, and knocked. The words that Ashley said to her were still fresh in her mind. The door opened and Doc Tauros opened the door and looked at his daughter's face. Something was different about him this time, he looked…serious.

"Dad?" Leena began but she was interrupted by her father by putting up his hand to tell her to stop talking. She did so, he stepped aside in the doorway Leena walked through. Doc closed the door behind him.

"I know that you have some questions for me?" he said quietly.

Author's Note: Yup that's the end. It's hard to update this story, but once I get done with this other big story I'm currently working on I'll have time to work on this one more. And that won't be long.
