Chapter 6 - Confession
-------------------------------------------------------
Staring into the night sky, a lone figure pondered life's many mysteries. He wished that he could be with his companion, but she was avoiding him. Why was beyond him, he had done nothing wrong.
Garet brushed aside his wily hair, ignoring it's stubborn return to its usual position. He and Mia were getting along well prior to Ivan's vision, and he had kept it quiet then. Then Mia went to ask him what it was, and ever since she avoided him. He had no idea, except that neither Isaac or himself knew what the vision was. Why were they hiding it from them? Just because the two Valeans were ignorant of most of the world's wonder...
Wait - He and Isaac didn't know, and they were both from Vale. If their allies knew, then it had to do with only a few people. But what would be bad enough to hide from him, let alone Isaac? Felix?
He scoffed at that notion. Felix was incapable of causing worry to them, largely because he was a fair fighter. Pushing Felix's inferiority aside, he wondered who else it could be.
He felt the blood drain from his face as he realized what it had to be. Only one person would make Mia and Ivan not tell the Vale boys: Jenna.
Jumping off of the crate, he ran to the back of the ship, sure that his quarry was in the kitchen...
-------------------------------------------------------
Chopping up some fruit, Mia wiped the tears from her eyes again, wishing that she hadn't asked Ivan about the vision. She knew that it was in her best interest to know, but still...
A large noise drew her attention to the stairwell, observing the last person she wanted to see now. And ironically, the one she wanted to see the most.
"Mia, what did Ivan tell you about the dream?"
She fought back tears as she heard Garet's voice, not as hard as usual. Since he began courting her, he had revealed a softer side, a caring and intelligent side that was usually hidden.
"I can't tell you..."
He gave her a puzzled look, and almost hurt as well. She felt her chest tighten as he looked at her that way.
"Mia, please. Was it about Jenna?"
She placed the knife down, wondering what he was aiming for. "What made you think that?"
Another puzzled look. "Ivan told you, but the two of you haven't told either Isaac or me. And since we're from Vale, the only thing that it could be was Jenna. She is a close friend, after all..."
Mia wondered how close, wondering if it was a subtle hint. "No. It wasn't."
He started to ask again, but she cut him off. "It was about you and me."
Garet's face filled with a stunned look. "What?"
"Apparently, in the near future, we'll have a fight, and I'll be left for dead... Left by you."
He gave her a wierd look, one that she didn't recognize. "Mia, you know that I'd never do that!"
This time, the tears came full force. "I know, Garet. But... In the future..." She couldn't talk any further, sobs tearing her apart.
She never saw him approach, wrapping her in her arms. "Mia, I don't know what it was, but it will never seperate us. I...er, uh... what I mean is..."
She stared at him. "Are you trying to say that... you, uh, ya know..."
His nodding was all she needed. She again burst into tears, burying her head in his chest.
"Mia, whatever the future holds, we'll face it together."
Silent tears echoing in the galley, they sat together through the night...
-------------------------------------------------------
Staring at the tent, Sheba wondered if Jenna had enough time to question Alex. It still felt wrong that he would just happen upon them. Nothing happened that way. Even her falling out of the sky wasn't pure chance.
Glancing to see if Felix was about, she noticed that he had gone, probably to get some meat or wood. She felt somewhat hurt that he wouldn't tell her, but pushed it aside. She knew that there was something there between them. Something that she couldn't put her finger on. But it would have to wait, as she had other things to do.
Walking towards the tent flap, she noticed that it was still sealed from the inside, meaning that Jenna hadn't left. Curiosity filling her head, she used her knife to silently cut the entrance open...
-------------------------------------------------------
Blame this on Kyarorain. She had a review that sparked a brainstorm that evolved into this. At least I dropped the lying part of Ivan (which would have made it longer, but way out of character...
Sheba - Still making me sneaky, eh?
You're pretty...
Sheba - [leaves]
Well, that still works. Anyway, here is a response to the reviewers:
Smurf Cat - Lemon? What is this, Lemon? It might end up Jenna/Alex, one of the insanely rare pairs...
Kyarorain - Sorry about the above, but you did inspire this... Thanks for the review! Watch for next time, when Sheba gets in the tent!
Selena - Thanks for the e-mail. The theory of Isaac/Jenna might be in a future story of mine... :-)
Kairi - ??? Why am I suddenly getting suggestions for a gay fic?? At any rate, thanks for the input!
Gay Witch - Yup. Thanks!
And next time, Sheba gets a peek within the tent!!
Sheba - You mean that I become a Peeping Jane?!
... Wait and see...
Sheba - He doesn't own Golden Sun! Please REVIEW!!!
