Chapter 9 - Sneaky Sheba Shares Secret
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sitting at the edge of the camp site, Sheba stared towards the smoldering ruins that once was a fire pit. Not an hour before, Felix had fixed some kind of lizard; not the best breakfast, but not the worst meal. She felt guilty that she hadn't told him of Jenna and Alex, but then, she knew that it would violate her silent oath. Then she had sensed the rage and anger within him after he talked to Alex. At first, she thought it to be nothing more than pure rage at Alex, seeing as they had all held a grudge against him. But once he sat to eat, she sensed the cause of his anger, and something else:
acceptance.
Despite his anger with Alex, Felix had accepted the feelings that Alex had expressed. Though it was clear that he didn't approve of it... Knowing what she knew, she had gone to find Jenna and tell her, only to have more questions added to her plate. The dialog between Jenna and Alex hinted that they were both only telling half the story. It seemed that something had happened before hand, eventually bringing them together. What could it be, though? It would have to be something bad, to warrant such secrecy. Had she not had the ability to read minds, she wouldn't have thought twice. But as it was...
She glanced up as a figure walked towards her, clad in red garments often found in Vale, or so she was told. The figure sat next to her, just shy of physical contact, possibly to avoid the notorious ability of Jupitarians... But hers extended beyond the physical touch...
"Jenna, what happened between you and Alex?"
Chocolate brown eyes met hers, seemingly shocked at the question. "Waht do you mean?"
"Earlier I heard you and Alex talking. It seemed that something happened between the two of you... before last night."
If Jenna hadn't looked surprised before, she looked horrified now. "What are you talking about?"
"Jenna, you can tell me. I'm you're friend."
"It's not you that I'm worried about. Tt's..." She looked around, probably to make sure that noone else was around. Or more specifically, Felix.
"Sheba, if I tell you and you tell anyone else..."
Sheba secretly grinned, exited at the prospect of learning a secret. It wasn't everyday that someone had the ability to hide their thoughts from a Jupiter adept.
Satisfied that Sheba was going to keep quiet, she continued. "When we were in Alhafra, uh..."
To Sheba's shock, Jenna grabbed her hand and placed it on her head. Getting the message, Sheba read the thoughts, mowing through the laces of wards...
...And took a sharp intake of breath as she read the events of that night.
Staring at Jenna, she tried to form words, but found that they all eluded her. How could she help someone after something like that?? How did Jenna even love him? Then the thougts of the ailing Alex in the tent came to her, of the thoughts while she bathed...
Recieving a hard stare as she pulled her hand away, Sheba stared at Jenna, the look of horror evident on her face. "Tell anyone this, and I'll kill you. I swear it."
Trying to swallow despite a dry throat, Sheba nodded, silently agreeing to Jenna's ultimatum.
Noticing that Felix was approaching, she gathered herself, pushing the thoughts of Jenna's mind to the back of her mind...
...But she knew that no matter how well Jenna hid the secret, it was only a matter of time until it became common knowledge...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex stepped out of the tent, intent on finding a way to escape the current company, lest the powers of Alchemy be abused. Beyond the fire pit sat Jenna and Sheba, with Felix walking towards them. If he didn't know better, Jenna had tears on her face, and Sheba looked horrified. What...?
Did Jenna let her in on the incident?
Did this mean that Felix was next?
As the blood fled from his face, he turned behind him as the sound of crashing trees broke the silence of the morning air. He beheld the abomination, something that once might have been man, turned wrong. At least ten feet tall, haunched over and glaring at him, the thing approached. It's back had crystiline gems growing out of its back, while its face held gashes, signs of warped burns and psynergetic attacks. Had this thing seen battle?
It then hit him: this thing had indeed once been human, but had been victim to a massive ammount of psynergy crystals, probably from Mt. Aleph's eruption. But how had it gotten that heavy a concentration...?
He never saw the fist knock him against the collection of trees behind Jenna...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, there's a twist. Maybe I'll divulge some new relation between Felix and Alex as far as respect goes...
And since I don't own Golden Sun or Nintendo, I'll talk to reviewers:
Kyarorain - I might... Heeheehee.... Thanks for the interest!
Gay Witch - She's not evil, just intent on keeping her friends from hurting each other. And from fighting. And maybe Alex will be one. What do you think of this chap?
Darkcomet - YAY!!! Another author put me on favorites!! And put me as a favorite author to boot! YAHOOO!! How did this chapter fare?
Selena - I feel good!! [da na na na nah] I knew that I would!! Oh yeah! Seriously, the opperation went well, so I'm back to insanity. And writing this story. This chapter brings Sheba into the loop, and adds a fight scene that will hopefully bring Felix and Alex into a respecting friendship. As in they accept each other as allies. Not gay. But if you can, could you go to http://www.invisionfree.com/forums/GSFan and vote on your favorite story by me? Mia/Jenna and Isaac/Sheba!!
And to everyone - I survived the opperation, and will be back to full speed in mere days! Yay!
Sheba - And he is as insane as ever!
I wuv you Sheba...
Sheba - I love you too...
AAAHHHH!! Sheba Pwushie!! Help me!
Sheba - Hehheee... Didn't work, did it?
