Chapter 11

We made our destinies. And as we laugh now I can still see the traces of what they made. We still carry the weight that was given to us the day we killed our creator. We were made 'chosen' that day.

The prophesy that had been told to us about how we would one day take over the world. We fulfilled that, We rule the world now. No one can stop us… if they can get us to fight.

I look around the room. The six of us were just as we had been long before we gave up our little bit of hope to It. But I know that given the choice I made that day and how the line feel, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I would take that chance and betray even instinct that had been screaming all over again. Samarine laugh standing on the far side of the bar, her maroon dyed hair bouncing as she flung her head back. We had all changed. Adven yells at her over the bar and slaps the counter. She glares at Samarine, her chocolate eyes shining still. Troy watches them from next to the window. Shaking her own Platinum hair. Missing Fire, Water and a little Vengeance… that can break a girl in a fight. Now we had them back though.

Elieria and Alexis were stilling on the couch, looking even more the opposites they were. Elieria's dark blue eyes and darker still brown hair moving in trills with her head. Alexis smiles and her light blue eyes shine while her blond curls shake as she laughs a little.

I look at them all once again before standing and walking to the hallway. I stop at the second metal door on the left. I knock looking at my reflection in the door. I smirk and my lavender eyes shine. I throw my still charcoal black hair over my shoulder as the door opens. I push the door open farther and walk into the seemingly deserted room. "Gwen," my own voice startles me.

I walk over to the balcony door and look through the billowing sheer blinds. She stands on the middle of the small balcony her face up toward the rain and her eyes closed. Her usually lively blond hair now flush against her cheeks. "Gwen," I say again, but softer this time, "I've caught Troy in this position, but not you." Her eyes ease open and she turns around to look at me. Her chin drips water and as she look s at me I take a sharp breath. Her eyes were red and puffy, "Were you crying." She nods solemnly.

"Kid… I'm going back." I look at her a little confused. The reasoning washes over me like a bad dream and I look at the ground. I nod though still knowing that she had to go, at least she though she did.

"Just you?" She shakes her head.

"Nails is going, Ami too." I just don't get why you don't come." I shake my head.

"My place is with my Nightmares." She nods.

"So why aren't you coming?" I look up at her and seeing the sly smiles on her face know what she meant.

"It's different. I just can't go." She nods.

"Yeah, you can, Kid. Nothing's keeping you here, but you," She say the last part with a little sympathy in her voice. "Come with?" I sigh and walk out on to the balcony so that I was getting a gentle spray on my legs. I smirk.

"Maybe." She smiles and walks back into the part of the room that was tile. I walk over to her bathroom and grab a towel. "What were you doing out there?" She smiles again and takes the towel.

"Listening." I look at her a little on the cross side.

"To what? The rain?"

"No, that's Troy's job. The wind, it tell things when the sky is sad." She turns around and looks back out the door. There was a hint of sadness still in her bright red eyes. The puffiness was gone and the normal red was back. "I miss listening to it. I don't get to much." She continues to look out at the rain and I watch her.

Gwen had become the smallest shadow of what Nails used to be. Our happy Nails was gone now. When she helped me kill it, she was made a chosen and now I think she understands why we are the way we are. She is the Ice she make now. Cold and sometimes completely void. I missed the old Nails but she was still there, Just had to do a little bit more work to be what she used to be. What I knew her as. The person that her father would never be able to hurt, as Gwen said.

I walk put of the room and down the hall. I stop in front of the eight door on right and step back. It slides open a little and a hand reaches out and pulls me in. Nails shuts the door behind me as I push my hair back again. I turn to look at her and smile.

She smiles and but her eyes still looked dead. "Hey," she says quickly and walks over to the window seat and sits down pulling her knees up to her chest. "What's up?" I look at her.

"Gwen said you told her that you'd go back." She nods.

"Can't be worse than here." Her icy blue eyes look around the room. She nods a little and her stingy dirty blond hair falls over her shoulders a little. "Besides, I can't let Gwen go alone." I leans against her door. "Why do you ask?"

"Do you think I should go back?" She looks at me a little startled. After a second her old smiles coms back to her face and her eyes light up.

"I think you know the answer that." I nod and look at her balcony doors, closed as always. I walk over to them and open them. I step out and look around as the rain runs down my cheeks. Nails walks to the door and looks at me with a smile. "You know Kidkivan," Her voice seemed to be back to the strong way it was when we were teammates, "You really haven't changed." I look at her through the rain drops on my eyelashes and through some feat, I smile.

"You know Nails…You don't have to be the same." She smiles back and I turn my head to the sky. Some one knocks at the door and Aminamari walks into the room. She walks over next to Nails. Her green eyes smile and she brushes her lime bangs back behind her ears where the mass of green stretched over her head. She smiles at me and opens the door a little more.

"Well some ones happy." Ami had changed in the exact opposite way Nails had. She had become less with drawn and more talkative. Nails look at her and smiles.

"She's coming with us," Nails says and Ami looks at me with a smirk.

"I knew she would." I walk over to the balcony and lean on the rail. Gwen walks up next to Ami and looks at me with a smile too.

"Hey, Sunshine." I look back at her for a second before jumping up on to the rail and looking down at the ground.

"Do you guys really think that we can really have a chance there?" They look at each other and smile.

"Yeah," Ami says taking her wavy hair out of the tie. It falls to about the bottom of her shoulder blades. She walks out onto the balcony with me and stands at my feet in the rain. Gwen walks out without hesitation. Nails comes out a few minutes after her. Gwen stands up on the rail next to me and Ami stands to her other side. Nails stands up on my other side and we all look down at the ground. "I think we do," Ami finishes a minute after she had started the sentence, "We'll always have a chance, no matter what we do." She looks down the line "Four to four million." I smirk and Gwen shakes her head. Nails nods and we all look back at the ground again.
