Jak and Daxter went on another mission, so it was just me and Torn. I couldn't go anywhere, since I turned my back on Erol painstakingly, I didn't really have a purpose to leave. Before Jak and Daxter left, Jak joked under his breath to Torn while I wasn't looking, "Good luck loverboy." Torn blushed angrily at Jak. Anyway, Torn was just sitting at one of the tables waiting for anything to come up. I for the meantime was bored right along with him. I hadn't had any lunch, so I got a sandwich. I wasn't that hungry, so I went over to Torn and sat next to him.
He was just playing an annoying low tech ping pong game on this mini hollowgram with controls. Once he notaced coming over to sit next to him, he just cleared his throat. I cut my sandwich in half and said offeringly, "You want some, Torn?" He looked at me pausing the game. "..You haven't had anything to eat in a while, right?" I continued. He halfly smiled and nodded, "Yea.. Thanks, Laona." I gave him half my sandwich, and we both ate togeather. It was pretty quiet.
"I'm.. Sorry about earlier. About saying that you were either with us or against us. I knew you were going through a few rouph situations at the time, and I just.. Pretty much upset you." Torn started off trying to make a conversation. I was studying my nail bed, because I get hang nails a lot, and I like to catch them early before they get worse. I heard him just being halfly interested in my nails.
I closed my eyes and said quietly, "It's ok, Torn. I forgive you.." Torn just decided to lay back and relax. He had a big day.. I couldn't blame him. We looked at eachother and smiled weakly. "Man I just don't feel good today." I said hugging my stomach. Torn looked at me trying not to look concerned, but he couldn't hide it, " Are you going to be ok?" He asked me coming closer to me, trying to put his arm around my shoulders. But before he could, something suddenly popped up at the circular blue message thing in the middle of the room. "Laona, we need back up!" Jak said over the thing. Both Torn and I jumped at about the same time. I got up walking over to there holding a button, "I'll be right there Jak." I said bored and hesitant. I didn't want to do anything that night! " Think you're gonna be fine with that stomach ache, Laona?" Torn asked. I said quietly, "...I'll live, Torn." I walked out the door grabbing a zoomer. Then I just drove trying to locate Jak.
Then out of knowhere, Erol's cyber clone started chacing me. When I spotted him I was shocked and scared. All I could say was, "SHIT!" He was still chacing me, "Oh yea shit! Better believe it!" I screamed when he then grabbed me out of my zoomer dragged me to Boniak. It was an ambush.. Jak didn't need back up at all; it was a big set up! I was in tears when he pushed me and made me fall onto the ground. He messed my hair up and everything! "Erol will be joining you shortly... Eco freak." Erol's clone said walking out. I didn't dare to move one inch.
All I could do was cry silently looking down with my face covered with my hair everywhere. Erol then walked into the room just glaring at me. " You've gotten me mad for once, Laona. And not a lot of things in this world can make me THIS disapointed." He said sounding aggitated. I looked up opening my eyes, looking at Erol. Just looking at him made me wimper in fear in what he was going to do.. At heart I'm like a child at times. Naturally I quickly put my head down again on the floor. He walked over to me and grabbed my hair forcing me to stand up and look up at him. He hesitated a little, but he hit me in the jaw hard knocking me to the floor. I screamed when he hit me, but when I hit the floor I just stayed there.
I whined when he pulled me up again with my hair. He angrily said, "Why the hell did you stay there, hu! Do you think I like hitting you like this?" He then shook me, tightly holding my shoulders. I was just looking at him with angry teary scared eyes not saying a word. "Hu!" I looked down and said quietly, "I just.. I couldn't le-" Erol pushed me to the ground, and walked a little off to the side. I was thinking, 'Is he going to try to kill me?' I was beginning to believe it when he decided to take out a hand gun, "I can't allow this to happen Laona. You've broken my heart. I feel humiliated and insulted by your presence.." I heard him load it and then my body went on battle mode.
I got up real fast looking at Erol like if he was crazy, " Heeey.. Woh don't go loco on me, Erol. T-t-think about what you're doing." He just glared at me like if he was feeling like he was doing something stupid, but in real life it was reasonable. I started backing a way, "Erol... Please." He started walking towards me slowly, aiming straight at my head. "I know what I'm doing. I'm doing both of us a favor. Your supernatural ability to heal won't fix this problem quick enouph." He said, looking mad. My heart was pumping pretty hard in fear. " Don't make me hurt you.. I will in self defense." That made him even madder, "You're no differen't then Jak. A freak. A dark eco freak." My heart was broken. It was just shattered. I decided to run for my life, while Erol started shooting at me. I used my powers and knocked him out with my least lethal attack and just ran. Erol's clone stopped me in my tracks.
He said evily, "Where do you think you're going?" That just pissed me off and I used the curved knife like dagger thing Torn gave me a long time ago, and just whacked him with it. It didn't stop him, and he grabbed my wrists. The real Erol went back into conciousness and said aiming at me, "BITCH!" I dodged Erol's shot, but it hit Erol's clone right in his artifical eye. That made him let go of me and pay attention to his eye screaming in pain. His cries sounded like a dying bird, because of his altered voice. " COME BACK HERE WENTCH!" Erol yelled shooting at me again while I went up the stairs. I used my dark powers and blocked his way to get to me by clogging the stairway with rocks and debris. I lost 'em just in time!
I got out of there pretty banged up and in tears still, and eventually got back to the Southern HQ fortress. Jak and Daxter WERE STILL on the mission. I was guessing he had to do complex things in Spargus. Anyway, I came in with a black eye, and a limp. My healing powers don't kick in that fast when I am in a hypertention like state. Without hesitating, when Torn saw me all beaten up he ran right to me, "What the hell happened?" I walked over closer to Torn, but I littleraly fell into his arms, "Erol.. It was an ambush. Jak didn't call for back up. Somehow he.." I said coughing at the end. "Erol did this to you." I nodded weakly,"I'm gonna perminately stay here with the HQ..." I said quietly still sounding in pain.
"Good.. Good... Damn, if I see Erol I'm gonna beat the living shit out of him." He was still holding on to me, keeping me stood up. I started to calm down, and I felt Torn's heart beat against my chest. I felt safe in his arms.. I guess I was starting to have feelings for him, since Erol's decided to try to KILL me instead of love me. Torn closed his eyes, and put his hand on the back of my head, still hugging me.
