Chapter 8 - Alex vs Felix
---------------------------------------------------------------
Felix walked towards the tent, pondering why Sheba gave him a wierd look earlier. After he returned from gathering some wood to cook the lizard he caught, he had wanted to talk to her. For reasons beyond him, she had avoided talking, sidesteping his every question. He felt slightly hurt that she would do such a thing, but he figured that there was a reason.
Reaching the entrance, he noticed the neatly cut rip in the tent. Unable to figure out the source, he slipped in, finding Alex sitting on his bedding. The blue eyes stared at him, almost sad looking, as if he was hiding something. Felix sat that information aside, grateful that Saturos had taught him such tricks as a child.
"So," spoke the Mercurian.
"What were you doing near the lake?"
Though he seemed to be hiding something, the answer without much studdering. "I was fleeing a monster, and it got the better of me. The next thing I know is that I was here."
Inwardly frowning, Felix considered that statement. It was too vague, but he didn't want to make an enemy out of Alex. Especially since his role in this was unknown.
"Were you spying on my sister?"
Alex started to speak, but then paused. Felix secretly smiled to himself as he prepared to hear a lie.
"I needed to talk to her to tell her that I love her."
Felix blinked. He heard wrong, that's what it was; Alex wasn't that dumb.
Then he thought of the look that he got earlier. A look of holding something back, to keep one safe. Then he was telling the truth, he was wanting to tell Jenna...
Felix felt the blood rise to his face, wanting to lash out at Alex. The son of a bitch dared to try to put the moves on Jenna. Then, given the "wounds," that was a ruse.
"I haven't hurt her, Felix."
Felix stared into Alex's eyes, pondering how true that was. The eyes wavered, watering with tears. He wasn't lying about that, that's for sure.
"If you so much as hurt her, Alex, you can be sure that I'll come after you. And I'll do worse than kill you."
Seething, he stormed out of the tent, heading to the roasting lizard.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Alex stared at the vacant spot where a fuming Felix had been standing. He had to lie about the incident, for Felix would do good on his threat. Just his luck that he would fall in love with a girl that had an honest-to-a-fault brother. But then, it also was for the better.
He watched as Jenna entered, a worried look on her face. She seemed to be relieved that he was in one piece, but seemed worried somehow.
He knew what it was.
"I didn't tell him, Jenna."
She looked at him, as if wondering what he meant. "Then why was he so mad?"
He swallowed. "I told him that I loved you."
Her eyes widened at that. "That's a big risk."
He smiled. "One worth taking."
He walked towards her, wrapping his arms around her.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Unknown to the two lovers, Sheba had been walking by the tent, determined to ask Felix what made him so angry. She knew of their feelings for each other, but something didn't sound right as she passed. It seemed that something had happened before the lake, something that had Jenna worried enough to think Alex dead.
And Sheba decided to make it her job to find out what.

This will be the last update until Saturday at the earliest, since I will be under the influence of pain killers due to my upcoming wisdom teeth surgery.
Reivewers!
Selena - This chapter will hopefully be as good, and the bio is currently being updated as new info comes around. Check it out, as it should be finished with the last update that I fed it on the 15th (I think). Feel free to send me info on the pairings on my bio! You have a way of convincing me that the pairings are possible! (How, we will never know)
Rain Child - "am i the kind of person who keeps reviewing if they don't like the story? " Well, I won't answer that... For health reasons... What do you think of this chapter??
Kyarorain - Eventually. Oh, and the night of the 15/16th (roughly until 3 am EST), I was up trying to sleep, eventually played Metroid on Metroid Prime, read a novel on Star Trek, and formulated this chapter and the new chapter for Curse of the Sages. Busy night... And I didn't want to get up... That aside, what do you think of the chapter?
Kairi - Yup, they are! Keep an eye on my bio page, as it is going through an overhaul...
Gay Witch - Thanks for the positive feedback, but I doubt that gay couples will appear in this sequel (at least at the present...)
Smurf Cat - I'd do a lemon, but then I'd be labled a hentai or something. Lord knows this story's beginning got wierd reviews alone... No title for the sequel, yet...
I'll update after I get my head back, but until then, please REVIEW!!!
