Chapter 29: Four Lives, One Person
Song used-What It Means To Be Loved by Mark Schultz. (Remixed)
Toria's POV
My eyes scanned the horizon for any sign of movement. Seeing none, I jumped from the bushes I was hiding in and began running. I had a sword in my hand, which I used to cut my way through the forest. I slid the sword into my belt, then jumped, grabbing a branch above me.
I swung, then grabbed the next branch with my ankles. I repeated the action until my ankles throbbed, and I began using my tail for the next few feet.
I landed behind a bush, and looked at a river. I saw three deer standing in the water. I looked into the nearest one's eyes, and pulled out my bow. I grabbed an arrow from my side bag. I aimed, and shot, hitting it's neck.
The deer fell over, coughing up blood. The buck and fawn looked up at it, then ran as fast as they could. I climbed out of the bushes, and shot them as well.
Looking at the dead deer, I picked up a nearby stick and tied all of them to it. I then picked up one side of it, and teleported back to camp. I laid it down near the fire, where Tina and Gwen where cooking, and smiled. "Here guys..."
"Thanks T." they said and Tina jumped up to begin slicing the deer. I walked to 'my brother's' tent, and pulled out a piece of paper. I sat down at 'his' desk and began writing.
Dear Lloyd,
I heard that you have met my sister, and she wishes for you to attend her next concert. She also wanted me to tell you she also wants you to come and spar with her tomorrow. I suggest you bring armor. Our camp is two miles east of where you saw T's first concert.
Your friend,
Tron.
I smiled to myself. I walked out of the tent, and turned to Tina. "Goin' out for a bit... See ya." "See ya, T." she said. I ran from the camp to the Bounty. How'd I know where it was? Tracking device on Lloyd's glove. I ran and jumped onto the deck, before jumping onto the wall.
I crawled up it onto the roof and crawled to the boys' room, where I let myself down. "Now, just to drop this littl-" "Hello Tori." I turned around, my eyes widening as I saw Sensei standing in the doorway. "How do you know who I am?" "I know who all of you are." curse that spirit smoke...
I lit my hands with dark fire. "Ya wanna fight?" "No, I want you to come with me." I sighed and followed him. "I have the worst luck in the world."
"Maybe, but it seems a part of you wanted this to happen." "...I really hate you sometimes, Wu."
Wu chuckled. "Ah, I remember those years." "Oh yeah, you're the one who suggested Dad sendin' me to Darkley's." I rolled my eyes. "She needs to go to Darkley's, her powers can be used against her, my nephew's there, bla bla bla." I mimicked.
"Still ignorant as ever, eh?" he asks. "You know it." "And I believe you're here because of my nephew?" "Uh, yes?" "Yes, I believe you have become quite attached to him?" I blushed. "Whatever."
He opened his door, and we sat down. "Now, please explain why you're here." "Long story..."
Lloyd's POV
I woke up, and stood up, seeing the others had left. I walked out of our room, and stopped when I heard voices coming from Uncle's room. "Uncle?" I opened the door, seeing T sitting with a cup of tea across from my uncle. "What are you doing here, T?" she froze. "L-Lloyd? This Lloyd?" she asked.
"Yes, this is the Lloyd I was telling you about. Have you two met before?" "Yes." she turned to look at me, slightly smiling, before she screamed in pain, clutching her head. She fell over, and I ran, catching her. "T!" her face was pale as she breathed, shallowly. "Oh gosh, what's wrong?"
Tori's POV
I looked around, seeing nothing but black. I looked down, seeing my clothes had changed to a green and white dress, while my hair was tied back in a curly ponytail. I looked up again, seeing a man with glowing purple skin and bright red hair walk out, his black eyes glowing.
He smiled, showing his fangs. "Hello Princess." "Shut up Josiah, we both know I'm not a Princess." "Ah yes, I am sorry your Majesty." "Why'd you 'save me' this time?" "That...Lloyd... wanted to hurt you." "Oh please. I've know him all my life." "That's what yo-" "Just be quiet and let me wake up already!" I shouted, glancing at my wristwatch.
"Why?" "Aaron's funeral is in an hour!" "Ugh, fine!" he snapped his fingers and a black mist ran to me as I just stood there.
Lloyd's POV
I carried T bridal style to the medical bay, being careful not to hurt her as I searched her face for any sign of life. "Oh, T, what's wrong with you?" I whispered. Zane's eyes slightly widened as he saw us. "Who is this, and what has happened to her?" "Her name's T, and I don't know!" Zane nodded.
"Please lie her on the table." I nodded and did as he said. I went and leaned against the wall. T sat up, breathing heavily. "What happened?" "That's what I was about to ask you." "I must've passed out again, sorry." she glanced at her watch. "I've gotta go now! See you!" she jumped from the bed and ran out of the room. I followed her onto the deck.
She ran across it and jumped over. I noticed we had lifted off and she was falling from about a hundred feet. "T!" I saw her do a flip in the air, before she unfolded two wings like the ones Jay had made. I sighed, before climbing down the anchor. I had to see where she was going.
We walked into a forest... well, I was jumping through the trees, but whatever. She stopped, before a portal opened in front of her, and my eyes widened. She walked through, and I followed. She was suddenly in a black pair of jeans and a black t-shirt, along with black sneakers. Her hair was tied back in two pigtails as she walked downstairs.
I followed, still making sure not to be seen. "Is this her house?" I saw a woman wearing a black dress and a man in a black tux. "You ready to go, Tori?" "TORI?!" "Yes, dad... I'm ready..." she wore an emotionless face as she walked to her bike.
"You sure you don't wanna ride in the car?" "It's only two blocks, I'll be fine mom." her mother nodded and got it the car. T, I think I can still call her that, climbed on her bike. She began riding after the car, as I followed in the trees.
She rode into a parking lot and locked her bike up, before walking inside the building. I followed, using the shadows to my advantage I saw tons of people, everyone in black. "What, did someone die," I looked at the table, seeing a picture of a five-year-old with extremely short hair and blue eyes smiling from a hospital bed, T next to him.
Flowers were all around the picture, and I watched as T walked up to the microphone next to the table, gently tapping it. "Hello, everyone. I know you are all friends of my family, and you all know of the loss we went through earlier this week. My brother, Aaron William Skywalker died of cancer at the young age of five,"
She sighed gently, and I could see her eyes brimming with tears. "I'm gonna sing What It Means To Be Loved by Mark Schultz. Unlike him, I didn't get my loved one back, and Aaron never lived a long life, but I know that one day I'll see him again."
I looked behind her as two girls walked up and started playing their instruments.
Five months, seven days, Until we were celebrating Christmas, With the only brother I had left in this world. But when he called the doctor said "I need to see you," And "Could you come in soon?"
I looked around, as the two other girls played their instruments.
And something died inside of me to sit near him and hear, The doctor said my brother may not live to see next year, And turning to us he said, "What do you wanna do?"
I saw T close her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks.
And I said, "I wanna give him the world, I wanna hold his hand, I wanna be his sis for as long as I can, And I wanna live every moment, Until that day comes, I wanna show him what it means to be loved!"
I looked to the back, seeing a young boy in a blue hoodie and brown pants sitting on a staff, along with a man made of gold sand sitting on a cloud.
So we spent each day, Watching every minute, And praying for my little bro, And I will not forget the way I felt that moment, He was taken from this world.
My eyes slightly widened, as I saw tears of ice on the boy's pale cheeks.
They took me to his room just as soon as they were warned, And sitting by his bed side I could see him holding on, When a voice inside me said, "God will give him the world, God will hold his hand, God will hold him close until I can, And I wanna live every moment, Until that day comes, I wanna show them what it means to be loved!"
"Is that Jack Frost?"
Well ever since the day, God took him home, I've been out to prove the world they're wrong, You should know there's love, No matter who you are, And if you know what love is you can shine just like a star.
I watched him, before turning back to T as the other girls joined in singing.
And God will give him the world, God will hold his hand, And we know one day we'll see him again, but we wanna live every moment, Until that day comes, We're gonna show them what it means to be loved!
T gently opened her eyes again as the other girls stopped singing.
Show them what it means to be loved, What it means to be loved.
She gently let her head fall, as her hands went to her side. Everyone began clapping, and T walked from the stage towards the two floating people. I grabbed her wrist as she walked by.
