That got me angry. "How do you know my name? What's your status?" I demanded. "I am an off duty krimson guard leader to let you know, and I-" I said, but the man inturrupted, "Don't lecture me, girl. I know who you are." He barked. He sounded a lot like Erol.. Scarefully too much like Erol. I relaxed myself, knowing that it's just a waste of time to argue. I then had a brief flash back remembering Erol shooting himself, and dumping him into the water. I traced my steps telling myself he's dead. While this was happening, I was looking down looking like I was thinking about something, obviously.
He noticed I was thinking about something deeply. "Something on your mind?" He said sweetly. "Yea.. It's just.. Nothing." I said, looking up at him. "What do you want?" I asked calmly. Then, out of knowhere I heard a vehicle driving our direction. I turned my head, and the car stopped. It was Marvin. "Mom?" He asked. "Hey Marvin!" I said happily, walking fast towards him, giving him a hug. "What are you doin' down here?" He asked. I let go, and said, "Looking for you, just to see how you're doing." He turned his eyes towards the gate to the city and asked, "Who was that you were talking to?" I turned my head facing the gate. The man was gone. "... Nobody." I sighed.
The next day Torn invited me to go metal head target practice in the precurser forest, but I told him I just wanted to go fishing at Spargus. I was growing a little tired of just staying in Haven all the time. I also knew that the mystery man was lurking around those areas, and I wanted to find out who he was. I can't help but find out who people are. It just drives me crazy if I don't know something that I want to know.
I sat at the edge of the rocks, using hand made fishing pole that I made myself.. It sucked. I only caught like, a baby fish and like.. An old boot. Either that or sea weed. My bait was good, fresh worms from the ground. I dug a little ditch about 10 feet away from when I was fishing, but they didn't seem to work very well. It was getting dark, and a lot of the people started to leave the streets. I just stayed there, daydreaming and thinking about random things, including the mystery man and who he could be. Right when I was thinking about the mystery man, he appeared out of knowhere, squatted down on one of my sides behind me.
I calmly said, " I really wish I for sure knew who you are. But the man I think you are is dead. I watched him die with my very two eyes. I remember where I dumped his body. I remember him pulling the triger on himself. I remember.. Dumping him in the bay. You're not that man though. So I don't know who the hell you are, what your story is, how you know my name.. Nothing."
The man sighed, and sat next to me, with his hat and all. He smirked widely, "Like I tried to say. Loana was just a friend. Torn probably thought we were flirting because something got caught in her hair and we were joking about it." My eyes widened just staring at the water and my fishing pole not daring to look at him. He laughed, " And when I was aiming guns at you, and Torn.. I only had one bullet. I seriously didn't want to hurt YOU but Torn I was willing to take." I looked around, seeing nobody but us, and stood up quickly, glaring at him in fear, but I was ready to defend myself too for some reason.
He glanced over at me, and stood up slowly taking off his hat. He looked at me in the eyes calmly, and started wiping his head off, and marks started to show up. I shook my head lightly and backed up just a step not believing what I'm seeing. "No this isn't happening. You're dead, Erol... You're suposed to be dead!" I said. It was Erol.. He finished wiping his face off revealing his tech like tatoos, and took off his WIG. It was too red and long to be his real color and sighed. He opened his arms to hug me, but I was too shocked to come near him. He frowned and put his arms back to his sides, and sighed.
Erol put his hat back on, and stood closer to me studying my face. "Problem?" He asked lowly. I shook my head, " Too fast, Erol. Too fast. I don't love you anymore.." I said, turning my back, beginning to walk away. He caught up, gently pulling onto my shoulder, " Laona... Come on. Don't you want me to explain how I'm alive in the first place?" He said trying to reason with me.
I stoped, and faced him. "Ok... " I said. He sighed, "When you were dragging me to the bay, your healing abilities kicked in healing my wounds. I was half alive when you were dragging me, so that was enouph to get me back with your powers." I looked down, while he continued, " Sorry if I scared you.." He took hold of my hands, and I slipped mine out of his. "I'm saving myself before it's too late. Every time I go back to you, people get hurt." I said lowly. I looked at him, "I'm sorry you scared me too. You scare all of us." I said quietly.
He looked at me dropping his jaw slightly, in a suprised blank-like face. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Jak was walking, wondering around the streets looking for something to do, while he came across us. He saw Erol, and immidiately hid behind a building. He saw I was resisting him, and he smiled weakly, looking at me. "Come on! One more chance?" Erol whined. I was walking towards Jak's direction, "I'm suprized you're not getting pissed, Erol. That water really went to your head." I said.
Jak then hid behind a crack, notacing I was getting closer. Lmao, he was witnessing a mini fight, and he was SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. I bet that was awkward! Erol snarreled finally, "Whatever.." Slowly he walked the opposite direction holding his hat. Jak just blinked in a little confusion, and glanced over at me.
