"YOU WHAT?" Chrono's face was flushed red as he glared at Magus. "Yeah you heard me I uh was chasing her and she fell off the cliff."
Frog walked in and shook his head. "Do not believe this nonsense. Thy cannot be telling the truth!"
Chrono made a motion for everyone to calm down. "When Lucca wakes up then we can ask her the whole story. For now we need to get too an Inn so that she can rest! Then we can use a Brace on her." Everyone nodded so the group headed for the Inn.
The next morning Lucca slowly opened her eyes. Wha, Where am I? She thought as she looked around. She was shocked to see Magus dozing on a chair next to her. "Magus! Wake up!" "Wha? Huh?" Magus shook his head and stared at her. "So your awake huh?"
Anger filled Lucca's eyes as she stared at Magus. "What are you doing here? You know what you did to me so why are you here?" Magus sighed and looked bored with the whole conversation. "Since it was because of me I had to stay here and look after you while the rest of the team is at the fair. And it wasn't very much fun either!"
Lucca stared at him for a moment and then smiled sweetly, turned towards him and punched him in the stomach.
"Ow! What was that for you nerd?"
"What do you think it was for? Honestly you need help! It's for using magic on me and breaking my leg. So there!"
"You insulted me! And my sister. That is unforgivable for me."
"Well I guess that you need to learn to forgive huh? Anyway it's over now so let's just forget about it. But my leg isn't going to forget about it anytime soon." And then she turned over and went back to sleep.
Magus observed the girl as she slept. Man she's pretty. But after what I did to her I'm in hot water. He thought.
Two days later the group was sitting in a circle around the campfire after the replanting of Fiona's forest. Later that night Lucca woke up and saw a path. She followed it and stepped into the gate. She didn't know that someone was following her.
She arrived in her house years earlier. I wonder if this is the day? She thought.
Magus was standing there remaining quiet so she wouldn't see him.
Lucca stepped in the back room. And as she watched she saw herself as a young girl. Her mother's skirt got stuck in the machine and she couldn't do anything. It was like a nightmare occuring all over again. And as she was helpless the gate appeared and she was taken back to the forest.
She arrived sobbing on the ground. "Why couldn't I save her?" Suddenly she felt strong arms go around her and pull her close. "It's not your fault." Magus said softly. She was surprised but didn't pull away from his embrace. "I must have done something wrong. Now my mother will always be crippled." Magus shook his head. "You never know, maybe someday you'll get another chance."
Finally Lucca got up. "You followed me?" "Yeah." "I'm going back to the campfire now. I need to get some sleep." Magus nodded and they both went back.
The next morning as everyone woke up Magus came over and smirked. "Come on four eyes your just too slow." Lucca looked up in surprise since she thought that he might have changed a little bit. Then she frowned. "So it was all an act Magus? A chance to get the best of a little girl in your opinion?" And blinking back tears she got up and marched towards the Epoch.
Aww Magus. Why can't you hold your tongue? Oh well I guess it's all for the best since all she cares about is her machines. He thought as he watched her strong built figure walk away.
Lucca felt someone come up behind her. "Are you alright Lucca?" Robo asked. "I'll be alright Robo. Some things are going on right now that no one can help me with." "I see. But if you ever need to talk then remember that I'm right here for you." "I know Robo. And I thank you for that." And with a smile she turned back to the Epoch.
Frog came up behind Magus. "Up to your old tricks eh Magus? So what's thine intention now? To break Lucca's heart?
Magus coolly looked at Frog. "It's none of your business what I do or what I don't do. So you'd better keep your mouth to yourself or I'll turn to into something worse then a frog!" "So you're going to try to scare thine then? But I have the masamune and if you lay more then a hand on me then I shalln't hesitate to use it!"
Magus rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine then you just remember that it's my business not yours!" Frog nodded and walked away glaring back at Magus.
Ok well that's all for chapter 3! I may update tomorrow or so. Please review and give me advice!
