Chapter 13: A New Adventure Awaits
"What!?" Crystal shouted, scaring Sue as she tried to bandage her arm. I closed my eyes as Mary tended to my wounds. I looked up at Crystal again and sighed.
"I have no choice... I'm leaving tomorrow and that's that..." I could see tears welling up in her eyes, but she fought them back and pouted. I heard Kyle laughing a little in the distance. A week had passed since the military invasion, and the town was still being rebuilt. It was coming along nicely so far, compared to the damage inflicted. In another week it should be finished. As for my wounds, this was the third time checking them, and each time they were healing splendidly. This was good, cause I'd need to be at my best if I was supposed to beat this mystery man Vincent spoke of. After the wounds were re-wrapped and Mary said she was done, I stood up and walked outside. I stood on the front porch and watched the people working, regretting ever coming to this town. I had endangered everyone by coming here. In a sense, all this destruction and chaos was my doing.
"So, how are you feeling?" I turned around to see Crystal. She had her sweet smile on, leaning in the doorway. I smiled back, hiding my true feelings. I didn't want her to know. She walked up beside me and looked around. Then she looked back at me.
"Are you in any pain? Those wounds looked like they hurt." I shook my head softly and laughed a little.
"Nah, I've had worse... Much worse..." Out of the corner of my eye I could see her turn to face me, but I just stared off into the distance. She sighed and spoke quietly.
"You're leaving soon, aren't you...?" I nodded slowly. She looked at the sun setting. I followed her gaze and found myself unable to look away from it. It was a beautiful golden color with hints of red in the sky.
"It's pretty..." I looked at her with a look of confusion. She looked back and smiled. "I meant the sunset." I blushed hard and laughed pathetically, turning around and scratching my head.
"Sorry, I didn't mean..."
"Don't worry about it. I don't know about you, but I don't call men pretty." I laughed at this as well. I had never met a woman like her. Strong, brave, good sense of humor. What I wouldn't give to stay with her. But it seemed that destiny had a different future ahead of us. I turned to face her again, but when I looked at her she looked away, blushing a little. I snickered quietly and she glared at me.
"Hey! What's so funny!?" I smiled warmly, hoping she wouldn't hurt me.
"Nothing, it's just that you're a little red."
"SO WHAT!!!?"
"Well, I was just thinking that you're... kinda cute when you blush." She just stared, her face red all over. I hugged her gently, but she seemed stunned and confused.
"I'll miss you when I'm gone. I hope this won't be our last time together." I whispered gently. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she started to cry. I could feel her tears against my cheek. They were warm.
"I don't want you to go, not yet, not ever..." I tried to calm her, but that only made her cry harder. "I don't wanna lose you. I don't want that kind of pain, not again."
"Nothing will happen, I promise..." I pulled away from her just enough to look into her brown eyes. They were pretty, and I loved staring into them. But not as much as I loved her. Her tears stopped falling, but her face was stained with sorrow. "I promise I'll see you again... This won't be our last time together..." A smile started to form on her face. It made me happy. I was happy to know that she cared about me so much. I was glad the feeling was mutual.
"I believe you... You better come back to me..." She said as she leaned forward just a little, edging closer.
"I promise..." After that I found myself in a deep kiss with her. She was sweet, just as sweet as she seemed. Little did either of us know at the time, Mary was watching us with a hearty smile on her face through the front door. When we finally broke our long kiss, she scurried away before we found her there.
