TJ felt kind of glad that the girl, who had introduced herself as
Raine, one of the castle maids that attended the Princess Leena, did not
feel bad for him. He always hated that but she understood he saw it in her
purple eyes. TJ wanted to cheer Raine up so he pulled her up and decided
to bring show her around the village. He was surprised that she had never
left the castle and was determined more then ever to give her a memorable
experience.
TJ grinned and pulled Raine over to a group of kids who were talking. He introduced the three sisters, Chris, Kelly, and Cherry, and Vega, the youngest of their group. The three sisters had a love to fight and were very dangerous to be around, TJ and Vega were the only people that ever get near them and not get hurt to badly. He watched Raine shyly greeted them and thought back to the scary Raine that had just recently yelled at him, good thing she didn't seem to notice him whimper. Hehe, he was starting to slip into his old ways but he didn't want to leave, not after finding a few friends. This was exactly what he had wanted to avoid. Ugh, he knew he shouldn't have listened to Amie about getting friends, now they were keeping him from leaving! Noooo!!!!! He suddenly had a bad feeling about everything, a feeling he hadn't had in a while. It only meant that the hunters had found him and they were closing in, not good. He had allowed himself to be trapped.
TJ nervously waited with his friends the next day, they insisted on going to see who the intruder was. He knew who it was and he really didn't want the hunters to know he was there. All his begging didn't work; Chris, Kelly, Cherry, and Raine literally dragged him to the courtyard to watch the trial despite all his protesting. This was it, now he had to run and he would have to ignore his friends. Yeah right, like he could, oh well he had a small chance of sneaking away.
He peeked over the other people there and immediately felt the cold eyes watching him. Time to leave, the hunter had already spotted him, wait, was he smirking? Oh great, he was going to do something in the open and it wasn't going to be pretty. It was like some dramatic play, everything going so slow. He saw the dagger as it cut the rope and was immediately flung at.Raine! He watched it gets closer and closer as he moved, somebody screamed, he ignored it and reached out his hand to catch the blade. It happened in seconds, Raine stared at him, standing next to her, arm stretched out catching the dagger by the blade. He had a lot of explaining to do to a few people. It was not going to be fun, he gulped, the damage alone from the four girls would probably kill him and no amount of begging would be able to stop it unless he told them everything.
The Truth is Out
Leena could not believe the site; TJ was standing there in front of her blade in his hand! She knew Jack would see her soon and start accusing TJ of trying to kill her. She quickly grabbed him and started dragging back to Amie's house. Vega, Chris, Kelly, and Cherry followed curious to what TJ knew. Once TJ was safe she warned him to not leave the house for a while then left. Checking the others would keep him hidden she went back to the castle and changed hurriedly. Just as she was done Jack walked in with a serious face and knew she was caught. Lots of begging and pleading came, as Leena tried to convince Jack that is was all right and it was safe for her to be out in the street. Nobody knew what she looked like because her father never let her out in fear that somebody might try to hurt his little baby. She was in deep trouble but she promised herself that no matter what, she was going to find out about TJ. Late that night she went to sneak back out through the window and ran to Amie's house were TJ and all her other friends waited so he could began.
Story Time!
TJ gave a deep sigh and looked at his friends, they were in for a long story with a big surprise. His past was very painful for him, literally he did not know if he could even tell them the whole truth, let alone them handling it. Their reaction to it would be predictable; complete astonishment, anger, and sympathy all mixed into a tangle of emotions.enough of that though, here comes the truth.
"MOMMY DADDY!!!!" cried a small 5 year old boy, he ran through the Whaleking crying their names, but no one answered. All he remembered was going asleep with his mother and father and the next moment the warmth and security was gone. His parents taken away from him forever, little did he know that that had happened. Collapsing in front of an old zoid, he hugged his stuffed Liger, telling it that everything was all right, just to assure himself. Behind him an old man watched, waiting for the boy to cry himself to sleep.
Few years later he was traveling across the desert having completely forgotten anything that happened to him on the Whaleking. He knew they were chasing him, but he couldn't remember why, like he couldn't remember his name. His zoid, no idea where he got it, protected him whenever he needed it often staying out of sight. So he wandered from village to village, avoiding these people, the hunters hunting him like prey. Somehow his instincts reacted to there every movement. He knew how to fight them, he could see weakness, the hunters' every decision, and he could block it.
It was like he was taught it, he learned it from somewhere, maybe in those times aboard the Whaleking, he didn't know, it just happened. Often he woke screaming from nightmare filled with pain and agony, fear and more pain. He saw his parents die, he felt his body writhe in pain his mind so consumed with agony that he couldn't think, just sitting and letting them hurt him, scream at him for something he couldn't remember doing.
