Chapter 9
Muska started taking her to the center of Laputa. In there,there would be a crystal that would give him the ultimate power to rule Laputa.
"You have no idea what this power can do,"said Muska.
"Not so fast Muska!"yelled Sheeta.
"Well,well,well. Look who decided to drop in."
"Unhand my daughter now."
"I'm sorry,but I can't do that."
But Crystal wasn't going to stand for it. She shook off him and ran to her mother.
"Mom!"she said as Sheeta hugged her. "You did come!"
"There was no way I wasn't going to look for you."
"But why didn't you tell me--?"
"Let's wait until we get home ok."
"So,where is dear Pazu?"asked Muska.
"That is none of your business,"she drew Crystal closer to her.
"What are you doing mom?"Crystal whispered.
"Just stay close. And I'll tell you." She then whispered something in her ear. "Balus.."she said. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
The tree then started to fall apart again. Sheeta and Crystal ran to find Pazu. They left Muska. They weren't going to let him get away again.
"Pazu!"yelled Sheeta.
"Sheeta! You used the spell of destruction again!"
"There's no time to explain. We have to get out of here now!"
Pazu then saw Dola's ship coming towards. "There's Dola. C'mon! ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
They then ran to the ship and got in just before the tree was destroyed once again. But this time,there was no Laputa. It was gone.
"I'm sorry,"said Sheeta as she looked out the window. "But no one can know about Laputa anymore. I am not going to go back to the tomb." She looked at Crystal. "Crystal.I am so sorry."
"Mom,you're shaking. Sit down,"she said.
"Yes. I guess I should."
"But I don't understand something."
"What is that?"
"Why did you never tell me?"
"Because Crystal.I couldn't. I didn't want to anymore. Ever since I left that place 12 years ago I just never thought I would have to think about it again. But then I remembered that song my grandmother used to hum to me every night to get me to sleep. And then I had you. I'm sorry."
"It's ok mom."
"I'm sorry if I seem like such a horrible mother."
"You aren't a horrible mother mom. I understand now."
"It's just not that easy anymore. I thought of telling you,but every time I did I would end up crying because I just didn't want to remember. After my childhood I just didn't think anything was possible. Until I met your father that is."
"I actually remember that night when your mother fell from the sky,"he then looked at Sheeta.
"It's alright Pazu. I can talk about it now."
He sighed. "Good. I was starting to worry."
"She needs to know now. And I'm not going to cry anymore. She's old enough to understand now. And I'm old enough that I shouldn't have to worry about it anymore." ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
