Alex: Smurf Cat does not own Golden Sun.

Malik: she needs reviews!
Trust Chapter 5: Everything is Going to be Alright
She looked out over the wide expanse of meadows and fields that lay across the land near Xian. The sun shone down upon her as it rose. The sky was clear, Alex was asleep. She could have left for a while to find herself some where out there. Maybe she would go back to Imil. She missed Imil. But no, she wouldn't. She couldn't leave him no matter how worried she was for herself.

Sometimes she was convinced that she had no will of her own in light of his...

She sighed now against the cool morning air. 'Is this all we live for?' She thought. 'Just to go in circles like this?' She shifted after her thoughts. She had never liked that sort of thinking. Life had always perplexed her. Now she felt lost in the dark.

She didn't expect what happened next. She felt warm arms wrap themselves around her. She flinched, but then relaxed as she realized whom it was. "Mia, Mia, Mia. What are you doing out here all alone?"

"Nothing, Alex... just thinking."

"About what, my dear?" came his sweet voice. Mia shifted in his arms slightly.

"Nothing... I'm just watching the sun rise."

"I can tell that something's bothering you." Said Alex. "And I hope that something is not me."

"No, Alex." Answered Mia. "It's me."

"What's wrong?" asked Alex. He seemed worried for her.

"It's nothing."

"Do you not trust me?" asked Alex. "I don't blame you if you don't. If you want me to leave... I... I will."

Mia turned to face her lover, "what do you mean, Alex. Leave? I would never... no! We've been through too much together!"

Alex hugged her tightly to himself as though he was savoring the moment. Mia couldn't really tell from her perspective. All she knew was that she was scared. She didn't want him to leave. A stay thought crossed her mind; 'maybe I'm going crazy...'

"It's true that we've been through a lot, but..." Alex's voice dwindled, then came up to strength again, "I've cause you so much pain... and caused pain for so many others."

"I don't care anymore." Stated Mia. "I only care that you're here."

Alex sighed. Mia could feel the rise and fall of his chest as she lay against it. She loved this feeling. It was the feeling of peace. She relaxed into him as he held her. They both stood like that, motionless, allowing the world to pass them by. Time had no meaning. They would not depart from this place for a while.
Felix sighed as he knocked on Isaac's door in the rebuilt Vale. He knew that he would have to tell him about what had happened, warn him about Alex's existence, though it was no threat. Isaac was quick to answer. "Hello, Felix. What's wrong."

"I need to tell you something." Said Felix.

"What?" asked Isaac as he led his fellow Venus Adept inside his small house.

"Alex is alive." Said Felix abruptly. He could see that Isaac stiffened.

"Alive?" asked Isaac. "I thought he was dead!"

"So did I." Said Felix. He paused and then, after gathering his thought of why he came here to tell Isaac this, continued. "He's not the same person that he used to be."

"What do you mean, Felix? He would have killed us all had it not been for the Wise One." Isaac stopped at the mention of that rock. It had brought pain to the both of them.

"Wrong." Said Felix. "If only you knew his intentions. If not for him, the world as we know it would have slowly dwindled out of existence beneath our feet. You know it."

"Yes..." agreed Isaac. "I admit he was smart to somehow figure it all out as the Lemurians did, but..."

"But what?" asked Felix. "What are you planning to do to him now? Kill him?"

"We may have to." Answered Isaac. "He's dangerous."

"He saved us all. He's a hero."

"No, Felix." said Isaac. "You're the hero, not him."

"You're wrong. When I was captured he was my only friend. I can trust him. Now it's your turn to try." Said Felix. There was silence for several moments as Felix and Isaac stared one another down.

Felix spoke yet again into that silence. "We have no choice but to trust him. Mia is with him."

"Mia?" asked Isaac quickly. Felix could tell that he cared for her even more so than he cared for Jenna sometimes.

"Yes, Isaac." Said Felix. "He has Mia. They will be returning soon... I hope. You have to give Alex a chance. He's changed."

Isaac grunted. "If anything happens..."

"I know, I know." Answered Felix. "Then you can lash out at him."

Once again, silence.

"I came here to tell you ahead of time so that we would not have this dispute when he arrived. I have to leave now." With that Felix got up. Isaac looked away.
Well, I have nothing left to write... GRR! Stupid writer's block!

Malik: we got ok reviews...

Alex: I guess...

Well, thank you to everyone that reviewed, but I still need more if I'm going to complete this fic. I NEED ideas too! I also need to know what the side couples in this fic should be.

I need at least 10 reviews to get me writing this again. Otherwise, I'll use the time to start writing an Alex/Jenna fic I've been planning for a while. Thanks to all the people that will review this chapter!

Alex: REVIEW!
