Ceestar: Weeee! Chapter 11!
Last time on My Double Life:
It just comes at a little price, involving your friend Yuki…
I smirked, "How?"
Chapter 11: From bad to worse
- : MY POV : -
You yourself are of the Libran star sign correct? You should be able to answer this.
I was curious to what question would be asked of me, what did it have anything to do with my star sign?
If you had a scale, and one side was too heavy, what would you do?
I looked up and pondered, why ask a question like that?
You take something away from the heavier side
My eyes widened, I couldn't…
It's that simple
"OK then." I said softly.
Excellent
: NORMAL POV : -
Tiffany sat quietly next to Jet and played with her fingers.
"Where do you think they are?" She asked softly.
"I don't know." Jet said in a very straight forward tone, he wasn't one to admit that very often. "I just hope they are all ok."
FLASHBACK
Jet rushed down at an alarming speed and Yuki jumped to the ground when close enough. He cried out and hit the ground hard as the last of Jade's form sank into the ground.
"Damn it!" He cursed, punching hard into the ground.
Yuki ran over to Albert and tried to help him up, but the red swirls entangled her as well. Jet looked over and ran towards Tiffany but was quickly trapped like all the rest. Now all four of them were trapped, there was nothing they could do.
The darkness sucked them all in and that's all that was there, darkness.
END FLASHBACK
"They should be," Tiffany said out of the silence. "I know it. They are all strong."
Jet smiled and lightly punched her arm, "You better be right, otherwise…" He raised his fist in a joking manner and the two of them both laughed.
Neither of them talked for several minutes. They were not very deep in thought, but they did not know what to say. Tiffany knew that Jet was worried, but she did not know him very well. Sure she had known him for well over a year now, but only as a character that she liked to tease Celia about. She always thought of him just as some cartoon character with an absurd nose. Now she was sitting next to him, even comforting his pain.
Yes, he felt pain. He was the same as her. He was human…sorta.
All the time that she had known Celia and Fiona, she had thought they were just weird, loving animated characters the way that they did, and the way they would carry on sometimes. It was always in good fun, and sometimes even she would play along. But she had no idea that their love was real, that they really felt for these people that were real, in their own way. It felt strange, the way she felt about Jet now. She cared for him like she did any other of her friends. All this is one day, she was only going to go out to the city with her friends. Go to karaoke and waste all her money on CD's and maybe some food. Today was not planned out for her to meet the guy she had been making fun of for months.
Now she was worrying for her life and the life of her friends. It was certain there were times where they could get quite annoying. Fiona had her moody days that sometimes dragged her down, and Celia was just a HUGE goody-two-shoe that got really annoying and didn't know how to shut up. But none the less, they were her friends, and no matter how many things she could name about them that annoyed her, she was truly worried about them.
But they were surely old enough now. They had matured and Tiffany knew that they were strong. She pulled out her bow and ran her finger along the rope. It was real, so this couldn't be a dream. As much as she wished it were. This was a real war and she was caught in it. It was time to truly experience battle like those she learnt about in those endless history lessons.

: Jade's POV : -
I could feel something happening to me. I knew someone was doing something, but that didn't make it any easier for me to distinguish what it was. I felt different, but that had happened?
What's going on?
What…what's happening to me?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
: NORMAL POV : -
"You ok?" Jet asked.
Tiffany snapped out of her thoughts and forced a small smile. "Yeah."
"I know you're worried, I am too." Jet said, looking away.
"I just feel…I don't know. But I asked to come along, and I don't think I should have."
"Well it wouldn't have made a difference, we would still be in this situation, and at least this way I have someone that can keep me company." He joked.
She smiled for a few seconds but then looked sad again. "I just…don't know what to do. I feel so helpless."
"Well you're not the cyborg, or the one watching your younger sister being sucked into darkness. How helpless do you think I feel?"
"Sorry, I didn't-"
"Nah," Jet said, waving her statement off. "I don't mean anything by it."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Are you ready?
Jade nodded, and gripped her sword tightly
Excellent
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Yuki got up with Albert's arm over her shoulders so that she could help him stand. The both of them thought there was no point in just sitting around, so they were better off at the very least trying to find the others.
Tiffany and Jet had agreed to the same thing and they also got up to begin their search.
"We're better off trying," Albert said.
"Then failing," Jet said, continuing his friend's line without knowing it.
"Than not trying at all." Yuki nodded with a weak smile.
"I guess so." Tiffany simply sighed.
All four of them took a step and that's all they took. In a flash they were standing in front of each other. Albert's leg was healed, as if the wound was never even there. The four of them just stood and stared for a second.
"Yuki!"
"Fishy!"
The two girls cried, running at each other and embracing in a tight hug. They laughed and almost cried to see the other safe. They were jumping up and down just laughing, forgetting all the trouble they were going through. Jet and Albert walked up to them and smiled, Jet gave a thumbs up, not being much of the hugging type.
"Oh my gosh! You had me scared to death!" Yuki cried happily.
"Me! I was scared something had happened to you!"
"I was with Albert! It was just the two of us and we had no idea where the rest of you went!"
"Well I was with Jet and…" Tiffany stopped in mid sentence and looked around.
There were four of them there.
"Where's Jade?" She asked.
The other three snapped around looking, one was missing.
"She wasn't with you guys!" Jet half shouted.
"N-no!" Yuki said stuttering, all the happiness drained and replaced with fear.
Jet and Albert both cursed under their breathe.
"What happened to your leg anyway?" Jet asked, only noticing now that Albert's injuries had gone.
"I don't know. But I don't like it. It just healed when we got here. I don't like it at all."
"Aw, don't tell me you don't love me anymore Al."
A swirl of red smoke twirled into the air and soon Jade's figure was seen appearing inside of it. As the smoke died down, Jade stepped forward, her sword in hand and eyes glowing a demon red.
"Jade?" Albert stuttered.
"Hi Al," She replied with a sinister voice. "Miss me?"
Albert ran up to her, relief filling his heart, though he knew something wasn't right.
"I wouldn't." Jade raised her sword and pointed it forward at Albert's chest. He stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the girl he loved with wide eyes.
"What-?" Was all Albert managed to say, too shocked to speak.
A black shadow came from behind Jade, forming into none other than Black Ghost. He laughed and placed a hand on Jade's shoulder. Everyone else gasped in shock and horror. Jet couldn't take any of this and shouted.
"Get your hand off her!" He pulled out is gun and shot at Black Ghost. Jade twisted her wrist a little so that the shot bounced off the sword and into endless space.
Jet's eyes went wide and he took a step back. "J-Jade?"
"Now, now Jet. Don't be haste." His sister said, voice as cold as ever. "It's not you I am here for, and I wouldn't hurt you if I didn't have to."
Black Ghost laughed.
"Now, Yuki." Jade's eyes shot at her friend. "It's you I'm here to take care of."
Ceestar: Sorry it was so short! Next chapter will hopefully be up soon!
