[Next Day- Aurora's Tent]
"Thanks Aurora, for lending me these things." Aeris said, walking out with one of Aurora's dresses on.
Aurora looked up from making another bed for her and smiled. "Green suits you very well, you look nice."
"Thanks... but it's a bit long, just hope I won't trip and fall." Aeris said, turning round and round.
"You can let them in now."
Aeris nodded and opened the door, soon everyone entered, Ray looked at Aeris's dress doubtfully. "Isn't it too long?"
Aeris sighed and dropped into a chair and leaned her head backwards. "Too bad, Aurora's stuff is too long, Jana's stuff is too short, between long and short, I'll choose long." She said, giving him a shrug.
Kenny was the last to enter the hut, he walked in slowly, his eyes unfocused. Losing Dizzi was a huge shock for him, Jana turned and looked at him sympathetically. "Kenny, we'll try our hardest to bring Dizzi back."
Kenny just nodded, he doens't have his laptop with him everywhere now, he left it in his hut, not starting it up for days.
"You can worry about that later, I have a more urgent news to tell you." Aeris stated, sitting up straight. "Mr. Dickenson had sent news for the chosen one. He said that many bit-beasts have fallen under a curse, and their owners have fallen as well. Mr. Dickenson told you to not to accept anything from anyone, just in case."
"The chosen one... you mean Jana?" Tyson asked, surprised.
"Yeah, whomever that holds Ferra should be careful." Aeris said, and Jana just sighed.
"Why does everything bad has to happen when Ferra is in my possession? I'm beginning to wonder if I'll survive through these few months or not." Jana said tiredly.
"Ferra... is a powerful bit-beast, if she was to fall at any time, the world will be doomed, for the balance of good and evil will be broken." Aurora explained, sitting on her bed, she then looked at Aeris. "Aeris, your father, he has...."
"Cerebus." Aeris finished for her, everyone gasped in shock.
"What?" Max asked incredously.
"My father has Cerebus, I don't know wher he got it, but he definitely has it." Aeris raised a bitter smile. "And it's because of Cerebus... I'm here now." She then turned towards Aurora. "How did you know?"
"On your birthday party, when Jana gave me her Ferra, she startd glowing. As we got closer to your fahter, the glow increased and the light was bursting out of my hand. With no choice, I had to take Ferra apart in order not to create a scene. And from my experience ofhandling Ferra, I know she only glows when Cerebus is near."
"So, that's what Ferra wanted!" Jana exclaimed.
"So.... you're saying that we're going to face Aeris's father?" Ray asked uncertainly.
"We don't, Jana has to." Kai stated, directing his gaze towards Jana, whom turned her head away.
"Gee, Ray, why do you sound so nervous? Afraid htat once we defeat him, the he won't let you and Aeris go out?" Tyson teased funnily.
Everyone looked on amusingly as Aeris and Ray blushed in many different shades of red. Aeris mocked a glare at all of them. "Who said we're going out?"
"I didn't say you guys are going out right now, I'm saying you will be going out." Aeris narrowed her eyes at Tyson, whom is laughing uncontrollably, Ray sighed and clapped a hand over his mouth.
"Tyson, just be quiet."
"Guys, want to go horse back riding? We have tons of horses around, I promise that every one of them is the best!" Aeris suggested while jumping up.
"Horse back riding? Sounds like fun!" Max agreed with her.
[Stable]
"Um... guys... isn't the horse a bit too tall and big?" Tyson sweat dropped and took a step back, the horse trotted a bit in front of him. "See, even Kenny's scared." True, Kenny is scared, but at least he's showing some emotion now, fear.
"Tyson, you're such a whimp, just get on!" Aeris said, rolling her eyes.
A guy walked up and handed Jana a water bottle, "Miss, you wanted me to fill this for you."
"Thanks." Jana said with a smile and a nod.
Tyson finally backed away from the horse and shook his head. "I think I'll pass and stay with Kenny."
"Suit yourself." Aeris shrugged and gently kicked her horse's stomach. Soon, everyone had trotted off and left them in their dust. "Come on guys! Let's race to the other end of the stable! It's a long way!" Aeris yelled over the wind. "Just to tell you, I grew up on horse backs, so watch out!"
With a laugh, she kicked her horse's stomach, picking up her speed and running ahead.
"You wish! Wait 'till I beat you!" Ray yelled after her with a laugh, the others shook their heads but followed after them.
Jana picked up a bit of pace, but didn't catch up to them. She took in a deep breath and looked up at the burning sun. Max paused and turned back to her, he fell into her pace and looked at her worriedly. "You okay?"
"Yeah.... I grew up in a pretty cold place, the sun doesn't really like me." Jana said with a smile. "It's okay, I've got my water bottle." She said, holding up the water bottle.
Without a second throught, she opened it up and drank from it. The water entered her body, suddenly she doesn't feel all that good at all. She put down her water bottle and looked around, it must be the sun, everything is doubled. She turned towards Max. "Max... do you see two suns up on the sky?" She asked weakly.
Max blinked and looked up, is this some sort of trick? "Um...." He turned back to Jana and gasped. "Jana!"
Jana had fallen on her horse unconscious, she looks to be in a deep sleep. Max inched closer and tried to pull her up, but she wouldn't move...
[Later- Jana's Hut]
The doctor put Jana's hand underneath the sheets and looked back to the worried group. "Even though I am a doctor, and I base all my conclusions on scientific terms. However, that doesn't mean that I don't believe in superstitions or legends. In fact, I think...."
"Just get to the point!" Kai interrupted him.
"I believe she is put under a curse of... something is very, um..."
"I know what it is, thanks." Aurora said, walking over to Jana's bed and sat on the edge.
The doctor nodded and left the hut, Aurora sighed and looked at Ferra, whom looks dim as well.
"She didn't even eat anything in the morning, how can she get cursed?" Tyson asked unbelievably.
Ray frowned and throught back to her actions today, nothing seemed out of order, so why did she get the curse? And most importantly, how?
"The water bottle." Kai stated calmly, recalling the water bottle that was gaven to Jana.
"I'll tell the guards to capture him immediately." Aeris said, standing up, but Aurora stopped her.
"Aeris, it's too late. He's not going to stick around and wait for you to catch him." Aeris pouted and sat down. "Did Mr. Dickenson say anything about the cure?"
"Yeah, he said only the tears of the loved on can wake them up."
"Modern day sleeping beauty anyone?" Max joked.
"You guys go practice for the tournament, I'll stay and watch Jana." Aurora suggested.
"I agree with Aurora, it's not like we'll be of any use." Ray pointed out and is already walking towards the exit.
The others got up and followed him, Kai looked back at Aurora before exiting the hut. She looked up at him and gave a reassuring smile with a nod, telling him to go on ahead. Kai got the message, he walked out and closed the door behind him.
Aurora sighed and picked up Jana's limp left hand and held it in between her hands, hoping to warm her up a bit. "Jana, please hang on, we'll find the cure for you." Aurora whispered, her eyes closed.
[Outside]
"Loved one's tear." Aeris muttered under her breath, then she turned to the thoughtful group behind her. "Who does Jana love?"
Such an innocent question, everyone glanced at Kai simultaneously, Kai just crossed his arms over his chest, but remained silent. Aeris saw their actions and gasped loudly. "Kai, you player! How can you play with Jana and Aurora at the same time!"
"Aeris." Ray pulled on her sleeve, she shook him off, wanting to say something else, but Ray pulled her back. "Aeris!"
"What?" She asked impatiently.
"Jana knows that Kai doesn't love her, Kai only loves Aurora, but Aurora loves someone else." Ray explained simply.
Aeris's eyes grew wide, she covered her mouth in shock. "Oh my God, a real life love sqaure... I've never seen one of those before... you've got to let me see the guy that Aurora loves." She said unbelievably.
"Aeris... he's dead." Max muttered, nudging her arm.
Aeris suddnly stopped and glanced up at Kai sheepishly, thankfully he wasn't even looking at her.
[Jana's Tent]
********************************
A seagull flew by, a gentle breeze lifted up, the water waved underneath the wind.
"The air smells so good." Aurora said, taking in a deep breath of the sea air.
Tala frowned slightly and looked around him. "I don't smell anything good, it's such a salty smell."
Aurora looked at him then shook her head softly, he'll never catch on with somethings. Then a small smile darted across her face, no matter, that's part of why she loves him. Just like that, they stayed in silence, her sitting on a large rock right beside the ocean, him standing behind her, looking out at the ocean with her.
"Why do you love the ocean so much?" Tala asked, not understanding why she has to at least come close to the ocean once a day.
"Because it's the only thing that can calm me down." She replied, enjoying the soft breeze on her cheek.
Tala looked down at her, her light blue hair picked up by the wind danced around her, messing her long hair up. Without hesitation, he reached out and placed his hand on her hair, stopping it from being blown up.
"I like your hair." Out of no where, this sentence popped up.
Aurora raised her eyebrows funnily, then slowly she turned to him. "Then... I'll let it stay with you forever." Tala didn't say anything, the hand on her hair is a gentle one. "Tala... what am I going to do without you?"
"What you always do." He answered, and looked directly into her eyes. "Live your fullest with your life."
She looked at him, after a minute, she smiled and slowly nodded, he raised a small smile as well. Suddenly, his eyes widened as blood rolled out from his mouth down his chin, he groaned and swung a bit.
"Tala!" She cried and jumped up immediately, he fell and she caught him in her arms. His full body weight sent her sitting on the rock again, she held his head close to her and wiped at his mouth furiously. "Tala! Tala! Tala! Wake up Tala! Please! Tala, wake up! Tala.......
**********************************
"Tala.... please, Tala...." Aurora moaned in her sleep as tears rolled down her cheeks. Suddenly, a pair of hands were shaking her, shaking her thoroughly, she gasped and opened her eyes.
She looked into Kai's frowning face, breathing hard, tears rolled down her cheeks, but at least calming down a bit. Kai looked at her worriedly, and slowly, he picked up one hand and touched her wet cheek. "You're crying again... because of him."
Aurora took in a deep breath and sniffed, calming herself down.
"Tala... he's the only one that can make you cry?" Kai said... more like a statement rather than a question.
"That's not true, I cry for other people as well." She retorted back immediately.
Kai looked at her and shook his head slowly. "I don't remember that.... from the first moment I saw you in the Abbey from so long ago to this moment now, I've only seen you cry twice. The first time for Tala, the second time... still for him."
Aurora fell silent, he's got a point there. Kai looked at her silent form, he stood back a bit, giving her a bit more room to breath. Unmasked pain and hurt shone in his eyes as he looked at her, she looked up at him and frowned slightly at his pained eyes.
"Kai..."
"Aurora, you're torturing yourself like this. Why can't you let go of Tala and move on, I'm sure Tala would be happy as well." He suggested softly, he can't stand to watch her torture herself emotionally day in and day out.
"Kai, I'm not torturing myself. By keeping Tala's memories alive in my mind is like he's still alive, and you have no idea how much that encourages me to live on everyday... fooling myself that one day, I'll see him again somewhere." She said, lowering her voice so she won't wake up Jana, whom is still asleep. "Kai, don't you understand? The memories of him are the only things that are keeping me going day in and day out. Without them... I don't think I can live on one more day."
"You're torturing yourself! By pretending that Tala's is still alive, you're the perfect example of denial!" Suddenly, Kai went forwards and grabbed her shoulders, pulling her to him. "You are denying the fact that Tala's dead, can't you see, you are only hurting yourself this way! He's not going to come back!"
Aurora wiggled free one hand and slapped him across his face, Kai dropped his hands and looked at her. She took in deep breaths and looked at him, tears circling her eyes. "Kai, why are you doing this? I only have his memories left... let me keep them... please."
A tear rolled down her cheek, she took in a deep breath and turned to leave the room. After the door closed behind her, Kai turned and slammed his fist into the headboard of the bed that Jana's lying on, rocking the whole bed.
Can't she see that she's only torturing herself by living in a dream land everyday, thinking that someday Tala might come back to her. He hates himself right now.... he can see the pain that she's going through every day, but yet... he can't bring himself to any solution as to how to help her. Why does he feel so useless right now?
He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes tightly, slowly, a diamond like tear rolled down his cheek and dropped onto Jana's cheek.
With a soft sigh, Jana lazily opened her eyes and blinked, her eyes feel dry and she feels as if she has been sleeping forever. Touching her cheek, she found a wet spot, looking up she saw Kai's face, eyes closed, mouth pressed into a thin line. Evidently, the wet spot was caused by his tear, she smiled weakly and reached up a hand. Shakily, her hand made contact with his waist.
Kai felt someone touching his waist, slowly, he relaxed his face and opened his eyes, looking into a pair of smiling blue eyes. He blinked and then pulled himself upwards, into a standing position, surprise showed in his eyes.
"Jana......"
