Together Again

Chapter 3- The Stranger and The White Spear
Laura's P.O.V.
"As we came into the little town of Kadic, I was surprise that how well it is doing. Ever since the new evil took over, everybody's life was turned upside down. No one really knows why the evil wanted to take over the world, but one thing I do know; he is going to pay for all the trouble it cause. As I walk down the streets, I can remember where all the shops were, but now they are gone. In their places are little booths where people sell their stuff to make money. I got off the ship after Jeremy landed it. I waited for the others to come. When they finally showed up, they asked me what I wanted to do. I told them to get the stuff that we need while I go walk around. As they left, I headed to our old school, Kadic. Kadic seems so much small since we graduated. As I started to enter the old building, I heard someone saying something, so I turn around to see Mr. Delmas running up to me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, you can't go in there. It is falling apart." Mr. Delmas said as he came up to Laura.
"I know it is falling apart. I went to school here." Laura said as she looked at the old school.
"Laura, is that really you?" Mr. Delmas asked.
"Yes it is, Mr. Delmas."
"I haven't seen you since your parents bury. How have you been?"
"I'm doing fine. Everyone is doing great. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing ok."
"That's good. How is Jim?"
"Jim died about a year ago."
"What did he die from?"
"He had a heart attack, and he died in his sleep."
"I'm so sorry to hear that. How are Sissy and William?"
"They are doing great. The kids are growing like weeds."
"That is great."
"Laura, I have one thing to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"Can you sing one more time? For old times?"
"I would love to. When do you want me to sing?"
"Tonight, can you sing the song at homecoming?"
"Ok, meet me by my ship. It is by the park. Which song?"
"Listen to Your heart. I love that song."
"Ok, I will. I got to get going, but come about six, and I will sing it. It is good to see you again."
"Tell the others that I say hi to them."
"Ok, I will. Bye Mr. Delmas." Laura said as she began to walk away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laura's P.O.V.
"I haven't sung Listen to Your Heart since the homecoming game that was before Odd's death. As I walk to the market, I see Herve and Nick. They work for the evil. I was hoping they wouldn't see me, but they did. One thing that I know that the others don't know about the evil, it is XANA's brother. I haven't told them yet. Herve and started to walk up to me. I know that I got to lose them. The evil found out that I'm the one sealed up XANA again. The evil wants me to free his brother. I started to run. I ran down different streets of the market. Herve got in front of me some how, and Nick was behind me. They came closer to me. All a sudden, a person in cloak jumped down from a roof of an old building. Herve attacked him. The person fought back with skill. As I fought with Nick, the stranger had Herve tie up. I had Nick lying on the ground. The stranger turned to me."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who are you, and why did you help me?" Laura asked.
"Something told me that I should help you." Della said as he removed his cloak. Laura couldn't believe her eyes. The stranger looked like Odd.
"Well, thanks for your help. By the way, I'm Laura."
"I'm Della."
"So, do you live around here?"
"I live where ever I can."
"Do you have family here?"
"No, I don't remember. One day, I woke up. All I know that is my middle name is Della. I don't remember my first name or my last."
"Well, if you like, you can join my friends, my brother, and I."
"Ok"
"Then I will also help you get your memories back."
"That will be great."
"Laura, are you ok?" Ulrich asked as he ran up to the two.
"I'm fine thanks to him." Laura replied.
"Thank you for saving my sister. She means a lot to me." Ulrich said.
"No problem. Something told me help her." The stranger said.
"My name is Ulrich." Ulrich said.
"My name is Della." The stranger said as he shook Ulrich's hand.
"I asked him to join us." Laura said.
"Is that save?" Ulrich asked.
"He did save my life, Ulrich. He has no memories, so he is coming with us." Laura said.
"Ok, you win, sis." Ulrich said.
"Can you show back to the ship for me? I got to go see Odd's grave. Oh, by the way, I'm singing tonight before we leave. I ran into Mr. Delmas, and he asked me to sing." Laura said.
"Are you sure you want to sing?" Ulrich asked.
"I'm sure. I will meet you at the ship once I'm done. Della, my brother will show you around." Laura said.
"Ok" Della said.
"Come with me." Ulrich said as he began to walk off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laura's P.O.V.
"Della's voice sound so much like Odd's. As I ran to Odd's grave, I felt peaceful. I walked the rolls of graves until I came to my parents' graves. I found some flowers on my way up here. I stopped in front of my parents' graves. I haven't seen their graves since the day when we bury them. I kneeled down, and I putted flowers around each of their graves."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi Mom and Dad, How are you doing? I'm sorry that Ulrich and I didn't visit you sooner. We got busy find spears like you told me, Mom. Ulrich is doing well, and I'm doing great. We both miss you two, but we know that you are having fun. Well I got to go. I still have to go to see Odd, but I will try to stop and see you two more." Laura said as she stood up. She brushed the dirt off her knees. She turned to walk to Odd's grave.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laura's P.O.V.
"I miss my mom and dad everyday. I think there isn't a day Ulrich doesn't think about them and Odd. I can tell he misses Odd as much as I do, but he can't bring it up. He knows that I'm still hurting. I found Odd's grave in no time. As I got there, I saw some flowers on it already. I know that the others had put flowers on his grave. They miss him too. I kneel down. I putted the flowers on his grave."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm sorry that I haven't visited you sooner, Odd, but it has been crazy. I'm trying to find your spear, so you can come back. I miss you so much. I want to thank you for the locket that was in you things that your mother gave me. I wear it all the time. Today, I met a person who looked like you, but I knew he wasn't you. His name is Della. It is the same as your middle name. He doesn't have any memories, so I asked him to join us. I love you so much that sometimes I want to be with you, but I know that I can't. I made you a promise, and I'm keeping it. I got to go, but I will try to visit you more often. Did you know that it has been ten years to today that I sealed XANA, and I lost you? I can't believe it, but the good news is that I'm sure that we are getting closer to your spear. Well, I still have to sing tonight. I ran into Mr. Delmas, and he wanted me to sing one last time, so I said yes. I love you, and one of these days, we will be together again." Laura said as she stood up and brushed the dirt off her knees. She started to the ship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laura was getting ready to sing. A crowd started to form outside the ship.
"Laura, there is a crowd outside." Jeremy said.
"I know. They are waiting for me to sing."
"Are you sure that you want to sing again?"
"It is a special day. It is the day when I sealed XANA and lost Odd, so I doing it."
"Good luck out there."
"Thanks Jeremy."
"No problem"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laura walked out on to deck. She held a microphone.
"Are you all ready?" Laura said into the microphone.
"Yes" The crowd yelled.
"This song was requested by Mr. Delmas who asked me to sing once more time. It is called Listen to Your Heart by DHT. I hope you enjoy it." Laura said. The music started to play, and Laura began to sing.
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
you've built a love but that love falls apart
your little piece of heaven turns too dark
listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
the precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
they're swept away and nothing is what is seems
the feeling of belonging to your dreams
listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
and there are voices
that want to be heard
so much to mention
but you can't find the words
the scent of magic
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind
listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
Listen to your heart...mm..mmm
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye
During the song, a white light formed around Laura. A white spear came from the sky. When Laura was done singing, the crowd went wild. In front of Laura, the spear sat.
"ENCORE, ENCORE!" They yelled.
"Ok, maybe one more song." Laura said.
"ENCORE, ENCORE!" The crowd yelled.
"This one is call Breakaway from Kelly Clarkson." Laura said. Music started to play again.
Grew up in a small town,
And when the rain would fall down,
I'd just stare out my window.
Dreaming of what could be,
And if I'd end up happy,
I would pray.
Try not to reach out,
But when I tried to speak out,
Felt like no-one could hear me.
Wanted to belong here,
But something felt so wrong here.
So I'd pray,
I could break away.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky,
And I'll make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun,
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Wanna feel the warm breeze,
Sleep under a palm tree,
Feel the rush of the ocean,
Get onboard a fast train,
Travel on a jetplane,
Faraway, and break away.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky,
And I'll make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun,
I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I've gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Buildings with a 100 floors,
Swinging aroundrevolving doors,
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me.
But I gotta keep moving on moving on,
Fly away, break away.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,
Tho its not easy to tell you goodbye.
Gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun,
But I won't forget the place I come from.
I've gotta take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Break away, break away
When Laura was done singing, the music stopped.
"Thank for being great crowd. I must go now. I hope to sing to you again." Laura said as she grabbed the white spear and headed into the ship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You were great out there, Laura." Yumi said.
"Thanks" Laura replied.
"I didn't know that you can sing." Della said.
"I sing when I want to. I haven't sung since homecoming in 10th grade." Laura said.
"What do you have there, sis?" Ulrich asked.
"I don't know. During Listen to Your Heart, a white surround me, and this spear sat in front off me." Laura said.
"I will start finding out whose spear belongs to. In the meantime, you better get some sleep." Jeremy said.
"Ok" Everyone said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laura's P.O.V.
"It felt great to sing again. I didn't realized how much I missed it. I knew that Mr. Delmas loved to hear Listen to Your heart, so I had a special CD made for him. I gave it to him after the show. Ulrich and the others had let him come on to the ship. I gave him the CD. It was great to see him smile. I hated to say goodbye once again to Odd, but I need to find more on the white spear and Della. Something about him seems weird to me. He looks like Odd, but Della doesn't know his first name or his last. There is something strange about him. I just have a funny feeling."

(Author's Note; I don't own Listen to Your Heart by DHT or Breakaway from Kelly Clarkson. Who is this boy, and why does he look like Odd? Why can he only remember his middle name? Email me with your guess. I want to give those who reviewed. Thanks again. NO FLAMES PLEASE! )
