The Forbidden Love
I love you for reviewing!
Heard That Sound
The sun rose and hit the two faces of Jaden and Alexis who were still fast asleep in the cave. In the middle of the night Jaden had woken up and realized Alexis was sneezing and shivering so he put the his jacket over both of them. Which caused the two to be close to each other. Alexis was the first one to wake up.
She smiled and realized she was pressed up against Jaden's chest and thought to herself, 'Maybe he remembered I was his girlfriend… Did he really?' She simply took this opportunity to place a tender kiss on his cheek. You could see Jaden smile in his sleep and Alexis felt him hold her tighter. Though he was still asleep.
About 45 minutes of lying there, with Alexis awake and enjoying Jaden's presence he finally opened his sleepy eyes. He yawned and when he came back to his senses a crimson color spread across his cheeks, "Ah! I'm sorry Alexis! It's just you were cold and…" He trailed off.
Alexis simply giggled, "It's okay Jaden. I'm glad you did this or one of us would have been sick." Jaden wiped a brow and sighed. Alexis stood up and slowly made her way to the cave exit. "Jay come quick! Do you hear that?" Jaden quickly ran up to her side and listened.
He keenly listened, "Sounds like… Fireworks. Who would be using fireworks?" Alexis wore a confused expression, "Umm… Probably firecrackers. I think our best bet would be to follow it but stay out of its sight. I mean it could be a guy from Infested Cells." Jaden nodded in reply.
The two made their way towards the exploding sound in a cautious manner. Alexis came to stop, while Jaden's head were in the clouds he walked right past her, into who ever was making that sound! "Get down Jaden!" Alexis loudly whispered. "Shit… I'm sorry Lex." Apologized Jaden.
"Who goes there?" A croaky voice asked. Alexis stepped at Jaden's side and replied, "Just two people who want to go back to a city." From the bushes emerged a short old man. He hobbled towards the two, "The city eh? I don't think you should go there… Alexis and Jaden, I presume."
The two went wide-eyed, "How did you know?" The old man chuckled, "I'm Earl. And I know a lot of things. I would head north of here, where you will find an abandoned mansion. But first you two look like you could use some hospitality." Jaden and Alexis looked at each other. Earl spoke, "Yes you two may talk about this in private." They both gave him an odd look and stepped a good distance away from him.
Jaden was the first to speak, "Alexis, I don't think we should trust him… He seems, I don't know… Off…" Alexis pouted, "Jaden come on. Where else would we go, hmm?" Jaden frowned, "I suppose. Just promise me one thing…"
Alexis grew a serious expression, "What's that?" Jaden took a deep breath and replied, "Please stay with me because I want you safe when we get home. In one piece." Alexis smiled and stepped towards him. His brown eyes were shimmering in the view of the sun on his face. They could now feel each other's breath on their faces.
Jaden slowly lifted a shaking hand to her face and stroked her cheek ever so softly. She smiled in reply and felt his hand on her face. Then they both heard footsteps behind them and drew apart, blushing. It was Earl with a sneaky grin on his face, "Well, have you two lovebirds made a decision?"
Alexis and Jaden blushed. "Yes, we could use some hospitality and advice thank you." They both hiked to the old man's cabin with the only sound of birds chirping. The two arrived and sat down on the hide-covered sofa. The old man was the first to speak, "Well I suppose you two come here to stop Infested Cells right?" The two nodded but Earl then yelled, "WRONG!" The students jumped back in fright.
He chuckled and continued, "You see they cannot be stopped, what do you think they did with the rest of my family? They won't kill you, but your loved ones. Then maybe come back for you. What you need to do is go back to your time and stop them then, because now they are on your tails and will find you where you are." Jaden interrupted, "Look I know you are very wise and all but how would we get back?"
Earl grew angry, "I WAS GETTING TO THAT!" Jaden scooted farther from the old man once again.
"Please continue." Said Alexis, who was getting annoyed with the old man. Earl grunted, "Eh-hem… Anyways. The mansion is north of here, but north of here also lays a field with no trees. What I mean is if you are in the field with no place to run and Infested Cells comes… You're basically goners. This time Infested Cells will kill you because you two know to much about them…" He whispered the last part in fear.
Jaden shut his eyes for a moment. "And suppose they come looking here?" The old man shifted slowly, "I'll stall them…" Alexis gasped, "No way we can't let you be a target!"
"Well what else do I have left? I mean my family is gone and I'm just living my days out until I die…" Earl replied with much downcast in his voice. Jaden bit his lip, "Earl… Just tell us, how do you know about us? How do you know about them?"
Earl let his shoulders drop easily, "Well you see I used to be one of Seto Kaiba's top security guards in the computer fields. I was his second best to be exact. Only top employees found about this demise when it struck. Well you know… When you find out your basically as good as dead." He paused for a minute. "The rest of the employees and their families were taken. While I was the only left…"
Alexis was on the edge of her seat. "You never told us… How did you know our names and why we did things…" Earl smirked, "Oh yes. You see Infested Cells did in fact capture me. The sick thing is they don't do lab testing on rats but on humans… I remember them mixing a bunch of different chemicals then injecting me with it."
"No wonder no one ever gets away…" Jaden whispered.
Earl continued, "The next day I could read everyone's minds in the corporate and I used the knowledge in each of their minds to escape. Then I found out their killing spree has kept growing after that… They must have injected themselves with the same chemicals to, so they could gain psychic powers too! That is why no one ever gets away, because they can predict you next move and place to be…"
Alexis was mesmerized, "That's a scary thought… And such a privilege to know what comes next." Earl snorted, "It's horrible. Well it began with having nightmares and my fears screaming in my head. Then I began to think and work my thoughts into a complex. Then I began thinking about death and its run-ins with life if you know what I mean."
Alexis nodded, "Yeah…" Jaden shook his head, "No…" She patted him on the head. Earl stood up, "Well I think it's about time you two head up and do what you need. There is only 1 guest room. You will have to share and the bathroom has a shower to the left. There is also a mini-fridge in the room incase you get hungry."
Alexis and Jaden bowed their heads in respect and headed upstairs. In the guest room they claimed two cots and ate the sushi and lemonade in the fridge. Alexis broke the silence, "Jaden, I'm going to shower first if that's okay." He simply nodded his head, "Ladies first." She then took towels from the closet and retreated to the bathroom.
In the mean time Jaden stayed on his guard for the Earl, incase he decided to be a peeping tom to Alexis. Jaden wondered on why Alexis agreed on Earl about his physcic abilities. He just lay there on his cot waiting for Alexis.
He heard the door of the bathroom open and found Alexis returning to the bedroom, drying her damp hair with a towel. He noticed she was wearing a white night gown, "Hey where did you find the Pajamas?" Jaden questioned.
"They're in the bathroom under the sink cabinet. Remember Earl is physcic, so he probably knew we were coming." Alexis casually replied. Jaden nodded, grabbed some towels, and retreated to the bathroom as well.
It was Alexis's turn to lye in wait. She pondered upon why she was having nightmares and exactly the same things were happening to her as they were to the old man. Alexis just wanted to get back to her time period and forget this all ever happened. She then turned her head and heard Jaden open the door from the bathroom.
He had on black baggy shorts with a white muscle shirt, and dog tags on. He greeted Alexis with a smile, "Hey Lex." She smiled back and noticed he was wearing some kind of body spray that smelled great. Her nose twitched and she suddenly became in trance with Jaden once again.
However Jaden had similar thoughts going through his mind as well. She smelled of cinnamon and cherries, which drove Jaden insane. He took a seat on his cot as well and quickly snapped out of his trance before embarrassing himself once more. "Hey Lex, want to watch some TV?" Jaden asked.
"Sure…" Alexis said as well, not wanting to emberass herself. As fate would have it there was only one channel, and on that channel was the movie 50 First Dates. Alexis and Jaden were laughing the night away and somehow at the end of the movie were in each other's arms.
At the ending credits Jaden smirked, "I'm flattered Alexis." Alexis glared, "Oh please Jay!" She struggled to get out of his arms, but he wouldn't let go. "I like hard to get. I think I won." Alexis giggled, "Jaden! You're not playing fair!"
He grinned in reply, "Oh then let's see what you do when I let go one of your hands." He realesed one of her arms from his grasp. She laughed and messed up his hair so it was in his face and he couldn't see. This allowed Alexis to dash out of his arms.
He chuckled, "And you said I wasn't playing fair… Well let's play without the rules then." Jaden ran to Alexis and pinned her down on one of the cots. "Tell me Alexis, are you ticklish?"
Alexis raised an eyebrow, "Wouldn't you like to know?" Jaden didn't reply, but started tickling her instead. She was laughing for the first time in a long time, and this time it was a real one. They both then stopped, Jaden had grown fatigue from the tickling, and Alexis from "playing hard to get".
In the end of their tickle fight, Jaden was hovering over Alexis and she was on her back staring up into those puppy dog eyes. She wanted this moment to last forever. Then all of a sudden time froze in her mind… As if nothing else existed…
Then she saw it… A flash and in her mind appeared of the house collapsing from a bomb of some sort… Her eyes went wide, "JADEN! LOOK OUT!" Her arms then grabbed him and pulled him on top of her so he wouldn't be hit from the blow. He now realized what was happening and put his body on hers and covered her head with his arms, so no flying pieces would hit her.
Alexis was doing something similar by putting her arms over the back of his head, so nothing would send him unconscious. Soon the explosion settled down and Jaden raised his head and looked down at the girl, who was in tears. "Al-Alexis… How did you know that was going to happen?" Jaden asked, puzzled.
"I-I don't know… All I know is that we have to leave now." She said, in between sobs. They got off each other, found a bag, and gathered supplies such as food and clothes. "We have to go up. Our best bet is to go in the attic and wait it out… They are here." She whispered in his ear. He then nodded and obeyed Alexis.
They went into the closet and found the entrance to the attic. Jaden picked up Alexis and supported her as she pulled herself up the attic. Followed by her, Jaden jumped up and pulled himself up. They both heard footsteps and Alexis quickly pulled up Jaden and they flew back in once again an awkward position. "Quick close the door." Mouthed Alexis. Jaden nodded and quickly did as she told.
The two then made their way to the attic corner behind many miorrs and boxes and sat there hoping no one would find them.

Meet me back home under the marquee
It

My favorite songs they keep me
company,
So many memories come down to this,
I maybe be lost
but i'm not hopeless.
I heard that sound a mile away
I

All those things i wish that i could
say
I heard that sound a mile away
A mile away
Came in
like static off the TV,
This kinda thing never goes easy
I
meant to tell you but you were gone,
I tried to get it right, i
got it all wrong
I heard that sound a mile away
I heard
that sound a mile away
All those things i wish that i could say
I
heard that sound a mile away
A mile away
Sat outside the

With nowhere else, nowhere else to go
Doors shut, can't
say
It sure does sound, good to me
(Whoa oaaa) Na Na Na Na
Na (Whoa oaaa)
Outside the show...good to me
(Whoa oa) Na Na Na
Na Na
Good to you...good to me
I heard that sound a mile

All those things i wish
that i could say
