Chapter Six
Change
"I'm going to go for a little walk." Colette seemed like she was hiding something.
"Want me to come?" Lloyd thoughtfully asked her.
"Thanks, but I'll be fine by myself," she said as she turned and walked away from the others.
"Ha-ha, you got re-ject-ed," Genis mocked.
"Hey, shut up Genis!" Lloyd growled.
"She's going off on her own...that's not a good idea," I said to myself.
"What's happening to me?" She questioned. I slowly walked up to her.
"Colette," I spoke up," I hope I'm not intruding."
"Oh, Takeshi!" She sounded surprised to see me. "I didn't know you were there."
"I'm sorry. I'm always nearby, remember? It is my duty to protect you. Are you feeling all right?"
"Oh, yes. I'm fine. When will you join us?" She asked.
"Soon, hopefully. You certainly don't look fine. You're body is going through a difficult change. You really should go back to the others and rest."
"Okay..." She reluctantly conceded. "I'm glad I got to see you again..." She said as she blushed.
"It was nice to talk to you again. Please take care," I said as I had begun to leave.
"Goodbye..." She spoke softly.
"Goodbye," I said as I smiled and disappeared into the shadows. I watched as she returned to the others and lied down for the night. "Take care, my friend."
