Chapter Seven
Hurricane breathed in deep the warm mid-morning Valean air, trying to calm himself. He began to gaze at the two shapely girls searching for him in the park, with no success. Hurricane shook his head at how they could be so oblivious to his obvious position. (A/N Golden Sun: Book One players, you better know what's happening.) After Jenna and Mia had been searching for a good fifteen minutes, Jenna began to get very irritated.
"Where is that jerk?" huffed Jenna searching through the bushes. Mia looked at Jenna with disdain for a moment, and then ambled over to help Jenna with her hunt.
"Why are you so angry at this guy anyways?" Mia asked, surprised at Jenna's indignation.
"Other than the fact he tried to murder me?" said Jenna sarcastically.
"There's something else! I know you too well, Jenna!"
"Oh!" cried Jenna, looking up, "Isaac was going to tell me whom he liked!" Mia was somehow able to suppress the urge to cringe, and keep her composure.
"So, um, what did he say?" stammered Mia after an awkward moment of silence. Jenna stopped very abruptly, and touched her soft cheek,
"He didn't finish." Jenna murmured dreamily. Suddenly, she plopped down underneath the cool shade of the nearby tree, leaving the hidden Hurricane little choice but to leap backwards, trying desperately to stay in the shade. Mia joined her friend under the shade. Basking in moment of peace they were beginning to become accustomed to, Mia asked Jenna a question.
"Do you ever think about our journey?" Remembering her cherished memories just being with her friends, she quickly replied,
"All the time!" Mia was surprised by the speed of her response.
"So do you think about anyone in particular?" Rarely being able to speak openly about her deep feelings, Jenna was uncharacteristically quiet for a moment. After another awkward moment of silence Mia began to speak again.
"I remember meeting you finally on top of the Jupiter Lighthouse Aerie. Garet and Isaac never stopped talking about you on our journey"
Hurricane chuckled at Jenna's and Mia's obvious attraction to Isaac, as Jenna waited a moment before responding.
"Really?" Jenna said trying to sound surprised. Inwardly, she leapt for joy; Isaac often inhabited her thoughts until the reunion.
"I remember when Garet jumped to save you! How romantic!" Jenna giggled, smiling at her friend. Hurricane, still hiding in the shadows, laughed secretly at Jenna's half-hearted attempt to disguise her obvious affections for Isaac. Clearly, this would lead to her downfall.
"Oh, yeah." Mia sighed, she had always wished it was Isaac who would have been her hero at the Jupiter Lighthouse.
"Unfortunately, I think our new friend got away." Mia said standing up, "And Isaac is expecting me, so I'll see you tonight, okay?"
"Sure thing." After Mia had left, Jenna snatched a piece of earth and threw it against the tree she was leaning against.
"She has feelings for him too!" She screamed punching the defenseless tree. "It's not fair! I've known him my entire life!" As she imagined Mia lip locked with Isaac, she sat down, shuddering. Grabbing her knees and immersing herself in a sea of thoughts, mainly concerning Isaac, Jenna was at peace for a moment. A moment later, Jenna glanced at the sun high in the air, illuminating the world, for an instant, she forgot thoughts of Isaac and Mia, her brother, the assassin Hurricane, and drifted off into a blissful sleep.
'How easily I could end your troubles, and Isaac's too, how is he ever going to make a choice?' contemplated Hurricane. 'I wonder though." Placing a hand on the hilt of one of his knives, he felt the blade called Truthseeker, a cut from it's blade would grant a dream fulfilling the victim's greatest desires. His hand glided to it sister blade, the False Edge. Its cut inflicted a heartrending nightmare upon the few survivors, contorting the suffering victim's greatest goal. Many a time did he cause horrible pain, both physical and psychological with these weapons. Hurricane's other hand touched Jenna's wrist preparing to search her memories. Lighthouse aeries, dark caves, mazes and countless battles were the recent ones. Her favorite one was overflowing with love and passion, so vividly Jenna remembered it, that Hurricane felt he was there.
Isaac and Jenna were walking down a dusty road, Contigo, Hurricane recognized.
"I'm glad you finally saw it our way." Jenna said looking at the ground. Isaac showed Jenna the rare smile that she treasured so much.
"It does me well to see you and Felix safe." The two rested on a stone wall in the quiet town. The lack of people in the street and the fading light, were some of the details Jenna missed of the beautiful sunset, she was already lost in Isaac's sapphire eyes.
'I love him, I missed him so much.' Jenna's voice echoed through Hurricane's mind.
"This is sickening." Hurricane spat, removing his hand, and noticed it was visible again.
'I suppose even the greatest treasure of Babi has its limits.' As quickly as he could, Hurricane pricked Jenna's finger with the False Edge.
"The next best thing to killing you." Hurricane said, an evil grin stretched across his face. Donning his hood once more, Hurricane set off find Felix.
Thanks for your continued support everyone!
Next chapter will focus on Felix and Sheba! A recommended (by me) read for Lighthouse shippers! (Maybe)
