Chapter 13 - Revelations

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex stared at Felix, still holding Jenna in his arms. He wondered if he needed to drop the shroud of lies and tell Felix about the incident. He knew that Felix would probably beat him to a pulp if he was lucky, but Alex was tired of telling lies.

Jenna was the first to speak, "Felix, you remember the night when Alex got drunk? He passed out outside my room, and I helped him with his hangover, then we talke..."

"Stop." All eyes turned to him, wondering why he stopped Jenna's tale. Taking a deep breath, he turned to face Felix, eye to eye. "That's not what happened. That night, I passed out at my door, and then, while under the influence, I raped Jenna."

Face turning red, Felix began to charge him, and was only stopped when a pair of arms grabbed him by the waist. Felix whirled around to see who had grabbed him, and even Alex was shocked to see Sheba holding Felix still. Giving her a glare, Felix turned back to face him, his face still showing signs of rage. "Well? What else?"

Alex swallowed, fearing what Felix would do if Sheba let go. "I felt bad after what I did, and according to Imilian code, I had to aid Jenna to undo my wrong. But the more I thought of ways to help her, I began to realize that I cared for her. When you found me, I was indeed spying on her, trying to find the right time to talk to her and help her. But when you came closer, I acted like I was attacked. I talked to Jenna when she healed me, and then it just happened..."

He continued to keep his gaze fixed on Felix's eyes, trying to see if he would try to break Sheba's hold on him. "Jenna, is this true?"

Glancing at her, Alex noted that she had tears running down her face, obviously worried after what Felix had tried a second ago. "Yes."

"And you're happy with him?"

"Yes."

"In that case, I guess it's ok with me."

It took Alex a minute to realize that his jaw was hanging open. Had he heard right? "You're not going to kill me?"

Felix scoffed at him, "No. If Jenna is happy with you, then I have no problem with it. But if you hurt her again, I will kill you. That still goes." And with that, he took one of Sheba's hands in his and made his way towards Alhafra, leaving Alex and Jenna alone in each other's arms.

"You had to tell him, didn't you?"

Planting a kiss on her forhead, he smiled at her. "I had to, or if he found out later..."

"Guess you're right..."

Holding each other, they made thier way back to Alhafra. But all the while, Alex wondered how he would seperate himself from them to protect the world...

Mia nuzzled her head against Garet's chest, sighing. After a long day of cooking and keeping an eye out for land, it was relaxing to be with him. Though thier moments together had never progressed further than simply cuddling together and holding each other, it was soothing none the less.

She felt his hands rubbing her shoulder, massaging her bruise from where a crate fell on her a few weeks ago. She often wondered what it would be like to go further, but that was for later...

And right now, she was content...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In her private suite, Sheba brushed her hair. She had wondered what it was that drew her to Felix, and now felt that she had at least some idea - he was devoted to those he loved. True, it sometimes went too far, like his actions toward Alex and Jenna's actions, but he still cared. When she held him back earlier, she had glanced into his thoughts, and sensed his wanting for Jenna to be happy. He was genuinly worried that Alex would hurt her or something. Fortunatly, things had turned out fine.

Slipping into her casual garments, she walked towards the door, determined to be on time for her date with Felix in the bar.

This is drastically shorter than most chapters, but I needed to get it out ASAP, as I don't know when I'll be able to update, given that I'll probably be working at Kroger Wends, Sat, and Sun for awhile, and then at the end of this month - college! (dun dun duh!)

Anyway, to the reviews...

Smurf Cat - I'll get to it when time allows... I will accept any input on it, as it is one of the harder pairings for me to do... Oh, and let me know when the lemon is done!

Darkcomet - O_o Reread the bit last chapter where Isaac thinks of Jenna... And how is this chapter??

Kairi - Thanks for the long review! I doubt that I could do a yaoi, but another yuri might be possible... But for now, my current stories will suffice... Did you look at Forever Friends?

Kyarorain - I didn't see that line, but I guess that it was a blooper... Lord knows that Forever Friends has several that I missed... That makes me pissed... ... Maybe I shouldn't have said that... Anywho, what do you think?

The Rain Child - :-) How is this one??

smurf cat - Is this just a repeat or replacement review from Smurf Cat, or is this something else??

Yokai Hansha - I do like to get any and all input, even if it is negative, due to the fact that I need to know if what I'm doing is good or bad... And as far as GS2, I have it, have beaten it, and nowhere does it state that Alex is evil. I'm working with the lines given in the game (with help from Kyarorain), and just wait to see what happens later at Champa!

Selena - I already sent an e-mail commenting on your review, but you probably knew this... How's this chapter?

More updates later, but if I could get Sheba to do the dishonors...

Sheba - MIKAA DOES NOT OWN GOLDEN SUN!

REVIEW!!
