The Unknown Chapter 8: This Is Our Last Day

"Lauren, look at this!" Fox yelled from downstairs. Lauren slowly rose up from her bed & she crawled out slowly & made her way down stairs. As soon as she stepped from the last step she looked to see a newspaper titled "Laurens Whore Affair" on it with pictures of Fox & Lauren. "I told you Fox! I fucking told you that these people don't like me & will torture & harass me until the day I fucking die!" "No Lauren, I won't give them the chance to." "Really? What you gonna do? Blow the whole damn island to bits? I wanna see this fucking island up in smoke." "None of the sort, this is our last day here. Get your shit we're leaving tomorrow." Lauren smiled & she kissed Fox.

Lauren ran up stairs & then opened her closet & pulled out 4 large trunks & 4 large bags. Lauren ran to the living room & she packed every thing that was hers. "Hey Fox, can you do me a favor & put those sheets in the washing machine." "Okay Lauren. Let me find my Arwing." Fox walked outside trying to find by the least an imprint of his Arwing. Fox thought about how long he was on the island with Lauren, 1month & 25 days. He completed his mission, but he decided to take a vacation & relax life Falco & Krystal suggested. Maybe that vacation was a good idea, he met Lauren, a young woman troubled by issues & people who love to inflict unneeded pain upon her. Fox found that he had developed deep feelings for Lauren, & not only that but he felt as if he had another mission in a way. He had to help Lauren because after all, her Messiah would want her to be happy.

Fox felt himself run in to something but he couldn't see it. He grinned because he knew it was his Arwing that he ran in to. Fox set his invisibility setting off his Arwing & then he grinned. Meanwhile Lauren finished obviously packing up her living room, & now she was on to her bedroom. "Hmm, I ought to leave all of the furniture, they ought to have something that they can remember me by. This entire island always thought my dreams we stupid, thought I should abide by everyone else's laws, thought that I should live with other family because a woman living on her own is just humiliating, classless, & pointless. When I leave here, the only thing I'll miss here is taking care of the foxes here. But they'll know that the Messiah gave me a dream that I have always wanted but could never get here, happiness with the man & the animal of my dreams all in one body. I will not have to give my self to the ocean, but I will have to give up a lot of free space." Lauren thought to herself. Lauren looked around for her diary in her bedroom; she knew she always left it under her bed somewhere but not quite where. After a while she found it under her clothes in her closet. Though she didn't know why it was in her closet she just picked it up & it landed on a page of poetry that she wrote. "December, 25 1998 The Christmas' before. A tall tree with gifts that only people could wish for now a branch & gifts those look down upon. Many Christmas' before I would be the top of my game, but now I am one who is at the bottom, torn from her riches in one fail swoop. I was the wealthiest kid on the island at a time, but look now I don't own anything but a wooden house that is over run by junk. The only ones who find this appealing are the foxes & even they look a tad disgusted at times. I want something more then this, I want a special Christmas one year! I want to married on Christmas day & my husband won't have to worry about me not appreciating it because I will appreciate it! I will drape my room with my favorite fabric & life will be easy. My Christmas will be like the ones before, my Christmas will be one you can see far from here." Lauren laughed at her poem & then she held the diary to her chest & yelled, "Messiah! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dreams elsewhere! I…yikes! I gotta finish packing before I'm left here!" Lauren yelped & ran to pick up everything she could find to put in to her bag. Lauren had it in her head that every thing of importance ought to go with her so she packed all of the most important things like her diary first & then her binders.

Fox ran up stairs & found himself in a half naked room. "Uhh, you pack fast." "Hell yeah! I don't want to get left here for a day longer Fox, you gave me an opportunity & I am taking it!" "…Ok, well I found my Arwing, just put your stuff in my cargo area when you get finished with each bag. Do you need some help?" "Yes darling, please go around the island & tell them that I am leaving. You are a gift from the Messiah so they will listen to you." "Umm…okay then. Can I get something to eat while I'm out?" "Sure get me something too." "What do you want?" "Surprise me." Fox smiled at Lauren & then he snatched her keys to her car off the wall. Fox walked out to Laurens SUV & then he turned & asked Lauren, "What are doing with your car?" "I'll leave it. You know that I won't need it. Lets leave something for these idiots to remember us by." Fox smiled at Lauren then he unlocked the car & got in. Lauren went on in the house to continue packing.

As sunset slowly came, Lauren finished packing her bags & she loaded all of them in the cargo area in Fox's Arwing. "I guess that's that. Man am I gonna miss this place though, it isn't the best place ever but hey it was where I was born, & had the best & worst memories in. Shewdundy, I am gonna miss you so damn much but I will come back & visit. These foxes are gonna miss me & my TLC." Lauren looked around at the ocean & she cried a little. "All I have in my way is waiting for Fox." Just as she finished saying that Fox came driving up with something from Jack In A Box. She waited for him to stop the car & get out. "Honey I said we're leaving it." "I know but I love the feel, reminds me of the Landmaster. What do you want, the ultimate bacon cheese burger or the sourdough one?" "Surprise me." Fine then you get the sourdough one because the bacon one is mine." "You ass! You knew that I'd say that!" Lauren laughed & she playfully shoved Fox to the side. "You're really going to miss this place huh?" "Yeah, I guess so."

Fox & Lauren took their last look at the ocean & then Fox finally told Lauren, "There is limited space in my Arwing but you can sit in lap." "I don't mind, it's not like I'm familiar with anything in your lap already." "Hmm, come on Lauren lets go." Fox responded to Laurens sarcastic comment. Fox got in his Arwing & then helped pull Lauren up from the left side. Lauren got in Fox's lap & wrapped her arms around him & kissed him. Lauren thanked Fox again & then Fox welcomed her.

Fox started up the Arwing & then he made sure nothing was wrong with it. After a while, Fox got his Arwing off the ground & then he flew towards Earth's atmosphere. Lauren smiled & then she whispered in Fox's ear, "You heard my suffering & helped me. Fox I will repay you soon." "There is one thing I want from you Lauren." "What?" "Just be patient."

After a while Fox was finally out in space. He activated his hyper drive & then Laurens new life began in that split moment. She got her wish she got away.

End…
