Chapter 21: Don't Go

"I'm so sorry," said Ash, "I'm sorry she died." Ronjad nodded to him. He as been trying to get over it, but with people keep reminding him, it was pretty hard to.

"Thanks," Ronjad said, "I'm sure she'll be waiting for me in heaven." Ronjad at the ground. He wished she was still here with him. But she gone, he now has to survive the pain that she left.

"I never seen him so sad," Melody said to Lovrina from a distance, "He never been so depressed as long as I know him. He was all ways serious, it seemed as nothing would stop him from living his life to the fullest."

"Yeah," said Bianca walking up, "After what happened on the S.S. Libra, I thought he never get over what happened. But he did, and then found out what happened to Madison and that she was still alive, he couldn't be happier that she was ok. But now, I think something died in him."

Lovrina looked at Ronjad worried. She cared that he would be ok. Plus she still had to give him the letter from Madison. But at the moment, he wouldn't be up for it, but it may get him out of his sad trance of his.

Ronjad lay in his bed. "Maybe some TV would get my mind off this moment." He turned on the TV, "Welcome to Movie Feature, today is our classical movie about two young teens who fall in love, but one of them dies."

Ronjad changed the channel and then it said, "Today, we'll talk about a man who killed himself to be with is love of his life who die suddenly."

"This isn't helping at all," he said. He changed the next channel, "Welcome to Creatures of the Deep, today we'll talk about the newest killer in the sea."

He turned the TV off, "Ok, this is crap. Why can't I stop thinking about her? I try to get on my life, but everything is against me! Even the TV is!"

"Who are you talking to?" said Lovrina poking her head in, "You have an invisible friend?"

"I'm not in the mood to deal with your crap," Ronjad said, "Just leave me alone!"

Lovrina frowned. "I have something to show you. It's very important. Madison wrote it before she died and want us to read it together."

"Why should I believe you?" Ronjad said, "You hated me, you like me, now you love me. This could be just trick by you to convince me to love you too!"

"Ok," said Lovrina, "I'm not that heartless. It was her final wish! She really wanted us to read this together!"

"Ok," Ronjad, "I'll read this with you. But once I suspect you wrote this, I'll stop reading this."

"Thank you!" she said hugging him, "Trust me! I didn't write this. Madison did."

Ronjad sat down on his bed. Lovrina sat on the bed and cuddled up next to him. Ronjad looked at the paper and started to read.

It read, "Dear Ronjad, by the time you read this, I have passed on. I love you so much, but we can't be together anymore after I'm gone. I noticed how much Lovrina likes you. I can come between you and her when I was alive, but now I can't. So I have thought this out. I want you to be happy when I'm gone; I want you to be with someone. I decide you should be with Lovrina. It looks like she loves you a lot, more then I could ever. She is the one, please respect my final wish. I love you forever and ever. Madison."

Ronjad and Lovrina stared at it for a long time. Ronjad couldn't believe that's was her final wish, to be with a person he hates. Lovrina couldn't believe it either, to be with the person she loves.

"Well," Lovrina said, "Are you going to do it? Are you going to respect her final wish?"

"I need sometime," Ronjad said, "I need some time to think this all over. On what she said. Please leave me alone for now."

Max looked out into the sea. Where was Mio? Where did he go? But all he knew that he was safe. Safe from the cops and people trying to hurt him. But where did he go.

Whitey came over, "Shouldn't you be helping clean the beach to serve the rest of the community service?"

"Thanks for the reminder," said Max picking up his trash bag, "Just thinking about where Mio is now. Don't you wonder were he is?"

"Don't a chance to," said Whitey, "Too much service to do. You're lucky Ronjad help you with your case so all you need to do is 2 months of work."

"Yeah," said Max, "But that didn't stop May from keeping an eye on me. Making sure I come to the hospital on time. Checking my room every day for Mio. She's the biggest pest I ever known."

Whitey smiled, "I'm just lucky I don't have such annoying sister like you have. But my mom is just like that."

Later that night, Blue waited for Max to come back to the hospital. "Where is Max?" Blue said, "I hope he's ok."

"You sound like his sister," said the pilot walking up to her, "That's all she talk about with me when we are… never mind but you do sound like sister."

"What were you going to say?" said Blue, "Is it bad? Is it something you want to hide? Tell me! I can keep a secret!"

The pilot wasn't convinced. "Trust me!" said Blue so eager.

"Ok," said the pilot. Then he whispered it in her ears. Her eyes widen, and then she slapped him hard.

"That's sick!" said Blue, "You and her are disgusting! You stay away from me!"

Max and Whitey walked down the path to the hospital. "I remember how Mio was always so interested in electricity. That was so cool when he would be able to turn on your PSP with his electricity."

"That was so cool," said Whitey, "We had an unlimited source of power there."

He looked at Max he had froze in his tracks. "What is it?" said Whitey. Max didn't answer he just took off.

"Where are you going?" said Whitey catching up to Max.

"Mio like electricity a lot right?" said Max, "I think I might know were he went."

They reached the power plant. "Why are we here?" said Whitey, "This place I heard just shut down until there is a new manger to watch the place."

"Yes," said Max walking behind the plant, "But the power is still going on. With all this power here, he might show up!"

"I doubt that," said Whitey, "But I'll watch you try."

Max ran up to the water near the generators. "He should be here," said Max, "Just over here."

All of a sudden there was a splash. Max and Whitey looked towards the splash. A small head poked out of the water. It was Mio.

"I told you!" said Max pointing at Whitey, "There he… she… it is! Whatever!" Max took off for Mio. Whitey shook his head in disagreement.

Max ran into the water and came to Mio. "I found you!" said Max happily. But the Mio just stared at him; his expression on his face was mean.

"Wait a minute," said Max backing away, "You're not Mio." The creature swam towards him and then a whole bunch of creature came out of the water. They were all angry.

Max backed away from them. But they chased after him. They he fell in the water and the creature dove under. "Max?" said Whitey. Max started to cry out in pain. Whitey ran over pulled him out.

"What happened?" said Ronjad looking at bite mark on Max's knee.

"It was a whole bunch of the same creatures like Mio," said Max holding onto his knee, "Will I be ok?"

Ronjad looked at him, "Don't worry. You'll be ok, just keep it bandage it up."

"Please don't tell me sister!" said Max worried, "She'll go crazy!"

"She'll find out without my help," said Ronjad getting up, "You can barely stand."

"I can!" said Max protesting and then he rose from the ground and stood up, "See?"

"Hmm," said Ronjad looking at Max. He touched him on the shoulder and collapsed to the ground. "I don't believe you."

The next morning, Max got out of bed. The pain was still in his knee. He had to keep it a secret from May.

May came running in excited, "Max! They finally open the pool! Come swimming us! I won't accept no as an answer." Then she darted out to tell more people. That wasn't going to help cover up his injury.

Max limbered over to the pool with Ronjad and Whitey's help. "You'll never cover this up!" said Ronjad. "She'll find out!" said Whitey.

"If she sees," said Max, "I'll just tell her I cut myself up running up to the hospital and that just my bandage to cover up my cuts."

"She'll never believe you," said Ronjad bluntly, 'You're doomed."

May came over to Ronjad, "I got to show you something very important!" Then she dragged him away.

"I guess I'll meet up with you guys later," said Ronjad being pulled away.

"We need opinion!" said May cheerfully pulling him towards Lovrina, "She wants to know what you think of her swim cloths."

Lovrina turned towards him. She was wearing a pink bikini and swim thong. She also had her hair down too. Ronjad blushed a lot. She looked hot!

"Well?" said Lovrina, "How do I look?" But she knew what he was thinking. She was totally hot. That made Lovrina blush, but for her to be totally happy, he had to tell her that.

"Ahh," said Ronjad still blushing, "You look good."

May smile, "How good? Hot good, sexy good or just normal good?"

"Hot good," said Ronjad without thinking, "No wait! Sexy good. No wait again! Normal good, just normal good! Just normal!"

Lovrina smiled, blushed, and hugged him. "Thanks for your opinion." When she let go, he took off, and not seeing were he went, he fell into the pool.

"I think he likes you too," said May, "He kept trying to cover up what he really thinks about you."

"I can wait," said Lovrina, "He'll tell me when he wants to."

Ronjad pulled himself out of the water. He swam towards the edge and couldn't believe what he saw. He saw Sakura watching him from the side. But when he reached the edge, she was gone.

Max sat down in a beach chair. May came running up, "Aren't you going to get in the water?"

"Actually," said Max, "I hurt my leg, I don't think I should swim."

May then noticed his knee. "Oh my God," said May, "You should be losing that much blood!"

"What?" said Max. He looked at his leg. It was bleeding badly. The blood was soaking through the bandage. Max then passed out.

Later at the hospital, May was freaking out. Max had gone to the emergency room. "What happen?" said May shaking Ronjad crazily, "What happened to my brother!"

"Stop shaking me and I'll tell you!" said Ronjad. She stopped and he told her everything Max told him. May was horrified and started to shake Ronjad again.

"You bastard!" said May, "Why didn't you tell me! Why?"

"Because he was afraid you were going to freak out!" said Ronjad, "He was wrong! You're going nuts and you're taking it out on me!" May released him and ran to find Whitey.

May found Whitey pressed against the door to the emergency room. "What's happening?" said May, "Is brother ok?"

"Shh," said Whitey, "Trying to listen! They're saying he is burning up. They put him on ice. He has a temperature of 120! I didn't that was possible."

"Max," said May, "Please be ok."

That night, Max had gone into a coma and he barely had heart beat, but he was still alive. Ronjad was walking down the hallway, then he noticed something. The lights were flashing and fading in and out.

Casey and Whitey were talking to each other about what happened to Max, when the lights began to fade in and out. Whitey turned, he could have sworn he saw Mio moving towards emergency room. Whitey followed after him.

Whitey opened the room's door. He saw Max lying in his bed. He then noticed Mio was licking Max's wounds. Then the heart monitor stopped, Max's heart started to skip beats faster and faster and then nothing.

"Nurse!" shouted Whitey.

She came running in and the creature. "Stop it!" Mio noticed her and jumped off Max's bed and ran past her. A guard coming up saw it and ran after it.

Ronjad walked towards his room when Mio came by him fast, followed by Whitey and the guard. "It's too late running around," complain Ronjad but he went after them.

Mio reached a dead end and turned towards the guard. He hissed at him. The guard pulled at his gun and pointed at him.

Back in Max's room, May and the nurse were watching Max. Then there was gun shots. Max opened his eyes and muttered, "Mio."

The next morning, May was sitting in a chair near Max. He was ok, but she couldn't be sure. What was happening? She lived a normal life until this trip. Maybe Ronjad could shed some light.

"Repeat the question again?" said Ronjad.

"I think all of this is connected to you!" said May, "Please tell me what happened to you!"

"Yeah," said Ash, "Tell us. I think we should all know what's going on with you!"

Riche, Blue, Whitey, May, Misty, Melody, Casey agreed. "Well, this explains why all of you came here," said Ronjad and the he sighed, "I guess I should tell you. But this very secret, only me, Bianca, and Cipher known about this. Lovrina can also explain some things too." He nodded towards Lovrina. Then he sighed and told them everything.
