Just A Crush
Chapter 8
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Mariah and Cherry walked up the forest, they heard giggles and whispers. They opened the vine that would lead them to their own paradise and saw that the mermaids have huddled up, all together.
They heard Mawi's voice laugh,
"This would be great!!"
Cherry smiled at all of them and went to another part of the forest, leaving Mariah with the 'graceful creatures',
"What would be great?" Mariah asked and the mermaids all panicked and turned around, their nervousness evident in their faces,
"Um... nothing... nothing..." They stammered and Mariah raised an eyebrow at them,
Ariana sighed and stepped forward,
"Well... We decided that you two should go back to the White Tiger valley and fix things up." she smiled,
Mariah was about to trip,
"WHAT?!"
"B-b-b-but we didn't mean it that way! We just felt something and decided that you should fix it!!" Shell laughed nervously,
"Alright..." Mariah took a deep breath, "But lets just see what would Cherry have to say about it..."
The mermaids all smiled and nodded, before going back to the water.
Mariah sighed, and sat down on the green grass.
'What would Cherry think...'
***
But not far away,
Cherry walked along... Her head bowed slightly, eyes in deep concentration. She was so in to her thoughts that she didnt realize that she was really far away from camp. And it's beginning to get much more darker,
'Darn... What should I do?! Mariah may not notice it but I'm really scared. I don't what to do... I wish Lee was here with me.'
Tears began to fall but she paid no attention to it and continued walking,
'All I know is that I have to find the last two priestess of nature and when all of the priestess have gathered we need to find about our pasts! And its gonna be very hard with us having to hide this from everyone... Especially when Mariah and I hates to be worried about!'
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a rustle in the bushes. she stiffened.
"Who... Who's there?" She stammered but the only reply she got was a pair of red eyes from the trees before disappearing,
Then she heard another rustle in the bushes opposite of her,
She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and looked around,
'Darn! These guys are playing with me...'
Then... Another pair of red eyes appeared, but these eyes showed no mercy. They looked ready to kill,
Cherry shivered... It wasn't from the coldness... But it was from fear. Usually she wasn't this scared so much and she could use her powers easily but there are people here! They're not allowed to show off their powers to anyone unless it's needed desperately,
But right now... Cherry didn't want to let these guys see her powers and talk about it in the whole world. You must be kidding her!!
She was shaking now... Tears began to fall faster... And she couldnt stop it. She knew that she should be brave but... God! There were two or more people in here that wants to kill her!!
So she did the first thing that came into her mind...
= White Tiger Valley =
Ray and Lee were sitting in their own bedroom talking about the two girls that they miss badly.
"So... do you think they'll ever live with us again?" Lee asked, looking at the Chinese boy in front of him.
"I... guess. I'm really not sure." Ray whispered,
Lee looked down, sighing.
"I wonder how they're-" He was cut short when a deep scream followed by a,
"MARIAH!!!!!! HELP!!!" stopped him,
And they suddenly knew whom that voice belonged to. They looked at each other,
"Cherry!!"
They quickly went out of bed, out of the room, went down stairs and left the house in such an incredible speed. Faster than you can say 'beyblade'.
= Mariah =
She looked at the water, her reflection staring straight back at her.
Her thoughts were cut when she heard a deep scream echoing into the forest, followed by her name and a plea for help. She quickly stood up,
Her heartbeat quickened and she ran with full speed. She knew who that voice belonged to... And she knew that the person who holds that voice never, and I mean NEVER, screams for help.
[Cherry! Where are you?...] But the only reply that she got was,
[Mariah... It hurts...]
[Cherry!!!]
Then another deep scream was heard but it was louder and deeper than before. She was getting really worried...
"Cherry!!"
= Cherry =
After screaming, she felt a pair of hands cover her mouth. Then another man with the glowing red eyes appeared in front of her,
He had black hair and his clothes were black baggy pants and a black t- shirt. The other man that was covering her mouth had the same appearance... But it was hard for her to see...
The man that was in front of her, held up a knife... and Cherry's face suddenly was filled with horror.
"You look like a nice fine young lady... Too bad your gonna vanish soon!" As soon as the man added that, he lifted the knife ready to aim for the poor girls heart.
But before he could stab it, Cherry kicked him backwards and bit the hand in front of her, making the other man yelp in pain. She tried running but they already had her surrounded.
Cherry gritted her teeth... The fear has already subsided and she was getting pretty angry. She didn't want to escape. And she didn't know why. She could kill these two in just seconds without using her powers but she didn't. And she hated it. What is wrong with her?!
The man then lifted the knife again and he quickly plunched it straight towards Cherry's heart again... Faster than you can say 'help'
But he growled when he saw that he stabbed Cherry's stomach instead of her heart. Cherry yelped in pain but was able to dodge the knife that was about to hit her again... But that was also a bad mistake. The knife went into her wrist, straight exactly to where Liana had hit her before.
Boy! This was getting pretty tough...
[Cherry! Where are you?...] She heard Mariah's worried and almost cracking voice inside her head. But all she could manage out was,
[Mariah... It hurts...] before coughing blood,
[Cherry!] But before she could reply, the man that covered her mouth kicked her in the stomach, hitting the wound purposely.
And she screamed again... With all her might... She was thrown towards the wall and was kicked again... She didn't want to fight back right now. But why?
Then she saw the men leave... Before seeing a sparkle of white and pink...
= Mariah =
Mariah ran as fast as she could... She was like a raging bullet... She followed the scream and it led her to a deep and dark part of the forest.
She saw two men go back into the forest, before she saw a slight color of gold and red. She then smelled blood...
Her heartbeat quickened and her breath became shallow... She was getting scared now... It scared to think what would happen to the Cherry she knew, loved and trusted. She continued to walk... She then heard something or someone groan,
She looked around frantically and saw the red go brighter... And the gold go deeper.
She gasped,
"Cherry!" She screamed, before kneeling down next to the girl who was coughing up blood again and was trying to sit up.
"What the hell happened?!"
Cherry coughed some more before speaking,
"Two... man... knife... stab... blood..." Was all she said,
"Oh, Cherry!" Mariah started crying and lifted Cherry up and was surprised to know that Cherry was as light as a feather.
Reading her thoughts, Cherry spoke,
"I AM the priestess of wind and birds fly and they have feathers, dont they? Besides... This isn't my real weight..." Cherry managed to grin through all the pain she was in,
"How can you smile like that? You were about to be killed and you just laugh at it?!" Mariah sniffed, putting Cherry down in the roots of a tree. She raised her hand and put it above Cherry's wrist. Then a faint pink glow appeared below Mariah hand and when she pulled it back, Cherry felt the pain in her wrist subside. But a scar remained.
Then Mariah did the same thing to Cherry's stomach... But all she could do was stop the blood from flowing. The cut was pretty deep,
"Why didn't you fight?" Mariah looked at her, awaiting her answer.
"If I did then they would come after you next... And if you find the other two priestess, I'm sure they would kill them too..." Cherry coughed slightly, before smiling.
"But you should have been killed by now if those two bastards hadn't left! You should have at least defended yourself..." Mariah whispered,
Cherry smiled to herself, before cleaning up herself with water. Even though she controls wind, she also controls the water until the priestess of the water is found. She also cleaned Mariah up, because she was drenched in Cherry's blood, too.
Mariah also holds the power of the Earth, as the priestess of it is still isn't found...
= Ray and Lee =
The two were walking for hours already and they still hadn't found any signs of Cherry or Mariah... They were getting worried... Especially Lee...
When he heard another deep scream, he looked right about ready to explode!
They quickened their pace... But when another hour passed by... They just gave up. There was no use finding two girls in a very big forest like this one and in this darkness. They headed back and was about to walk when two figures appeared.
One was standing up, helping another with his or her shoulder.
But when they saw who it really was... They almost fainted...
= Mariah and Cherry =
As soon as they were done resting, they decided to go back to the White Tiger Valley. But when Mariah asked Cherry, the brunette almost fell.
Mariah and Cherry stood up... But it seems that Cherry's wound isnt really fit for walking yet.
"My, my... You really are trouble..." Mariah shook her head and Cherry couldnt help but laugh.
"Sorry, Mariah... But when my real mother was a kid, she was just like me. Adventurous and a trouble maker!" Cherry laughed some more and Mariah joined in,
Mariah helped Cherry up and lifted Cherry's one arm and it went over her neck to her shoulder.
"Now... up!" Cherry stood up and walked along with Mariah, with some problems about walking...
They were talking and laughing along the way. But when they came out of some trees... The scene wasn't very good...
= Normal =
"Mariah?"
"Cherry?"
The two boys were too stunned to move and so were the girls. All they could do was whisper right now,
Mariah was the first to go back to the world of the living and asked,
"What are you guys doing here?" She raised her eyebrows, while Cherry sighed because of God-knows-what.
"We... heard a scream..." Lee looked at Cherry, who was hanging over Mariah's shoulder and became pale,
"Oh... that..." Mariah laughed nervously,
"What's wrong with Cherry?" Ray said,
"Well..." Mariah looked at the girl beside her who looked back and started shaking her head.
[Don't you dare!!] Cherry glared at her, but Mariah just smirked,
[It's for your own good!]
[Argh! I hate you!!]
"Well. Cherry was-" But before she could continue, Cherry's hand flew to her mouth.
"Cherry." Lee said in a warning tone,
Cherry looked at him. her face. so innocent. And Lee hated that look.
"Yes?" Cherry smiled nervously, but that innocent look never left her face.
"Let Mariah talk." Ray replied. He knew that Lee could never win over Cherry's innocent look.
Cherry glared at him, frowning. She sighed, took of her hand off Mariah's face and looked down.
Mariah smirked again and continued,
"Well. That scream was from Cherry, all right. But the reason why she screamed was because two guys, whom I didn't recognize, tried to kill her. I found her just in time to see the two guys leave. Then. She cleaned herself up, we walked in the forest and we met you! And a knife kinda hit Cherry in the stomach and in her wrist." She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
[Argh! I really hate you Mariah!!]
[Don't worry. I told it was for your own good!] Cherry glared at her and tried to take a look and Lee and Ray's faces.
Ray was looking back from Mariah to Cherry. Cherry to Lee. and Lee to Mariah.
And Lee looked like he was about to. well. you know!
Yeah. This night was a very eventful one. And a bloody one, too. Wow! I wonder what the future holds for our future heroines and heroes.
