Boya! I outdid my self! Two chapters this month! And it just started? Crazy isn't it? Maybe I can keep this up! Yeah right not likely! I may have to go to Florida for a week soon too. Grandfather isn't doing too well. But we will see. If you don't hear from me for sometime that is where I am. I'm talking too much again. Oh well, anyways into the chapter!
Chapter 15: Family and the Seven
Next thing I knew; we were outside somewhere. "Hmm?" I whispered looking around. I saw Alfred looking down at Me. He nodded to me and walked away. So Maya group saved us, I thought. I watched as Maya headed up to Virginia. "Can you take over guard duty?" Maya asked. "You got it!" Shady the cat said flying away. "How are you feeling?" Maya asked Virginia looking her over. "Huh…? Well…Uhh…All right…I think I'm fine." Virginia said looking toward the ground. "How's your arm? Try moving it." Maya said.
And Virginia did so. "I think its okay…Just like normal." Virginia said with a weak smile across her face. "Good…I was worried." Maya said closing her eyes. I smiled watching the two. Maya then turned away from Virginia. "Well, now that you're feeling better; I think you should go back home. The wasteland's not for you." I slowly shook my head. "How can you say that?" Virginia yelled toward Maya. "A drifter confronts two obstacles the longer they continue their journey. One is The Artifacts of Prehistory culture that far surpasses the technology of today. I'm sure you're well aware. And the Second one is the cause of filgaia's decay. You'd be all right if you stick with measly little undertakings, but once you get your self involved in those two matters there's no turning back. Moreover, if you're not careful, you might just lose your life—like you almost did just now." Maya did have good points.
But knowing Virginia I was pretty sure she would keep going. Virginia looked away from maya. "It's not too late for you, now is the time to turn back." Maya said turning around to look at Virginia. "No! I won't turn back!" Virginia yelled up to Maya. "Oh? Is there a reason why you go overboard and act so recklessly? Do you mean to tell me that the Justice you're looking for can only be found by facing danger?" Maya asked with a small grin. "I have to face danger…If I want to find…" Virginia whispered quietly. "Just pack your bags, and don't get involved in matters where you can't…" Maya looked away from Virginia.
"I have to face danger to find my father! There's no way I'm turning back!" Virginia yelled standing up. Maya quickly walked away from Virginia. "Next time you show your face and try to get in our way…I, Maya Schroedinger, Will crush you to the ground, No holds barred. Just remember that." Maya then quickly left. "I'm sorry…but don't be mad at my sister. My sister's a little…you know…she comes off as crass, but she's trying her hardest to be nice. I'm sure she said what she said because she's taken a liking to you. Nobody wants to see people they like get hurt, right?" Alfred said then quickly hurry after Maya. We then made a fire for the night and sat around it.
"I'm sorry…I said something selfish…I probably shouldn't be the leader of this team…" Virginia whispered stared down at the flames of the fire. "My father's been missing for a real long time now…I'd given up on him. But once I found out he might still be alive, I kinda went in over my head…Then maya drilled me with her lecture, which made me realize she's probably right. It's too dangerous to get involved any further. So, let's call it quits and go our separate ways." Virginia said not looking up from the campfire. Was she really giving up just like this? "So…" Clive started to say.
"You are dissolving the team so that you can head out on your own to search for your father's where abouts? Is that what you are trying to say?" Clive asked pushing his glasses up a bit. "I just…" Virginia said rubbing her cheek a bit. "That, in itself, is selfish. Why not lead an ear to your comrades and hear what we have to say?" Clive whispered with a small smile across his face. "If I may, I believe that the lost history of filgaia, which I am in search of, can be found where you are headed. Ever since the first day I met you, and traveled together as a team with you as our leader, I have encountered many different events. All these events were stimulating—something I could never experience had I worked alone. Even if you try to stop me, I intend to travel by your side. I am going to continue to chase my dream." Clive finished saying with that smile across his face.
"Hmm…when people face decisions, they sometimes hesitate and don't feel like moving from their spot. In this kind of situation, I think it's the leader's role to stand behind that person and give them a boost. I don't know if that would define you as a brilliant leader…But a good leader, at least. You actually make traveling the wasteland kinda enjoyable. We can't think of anyone else we'd rather have leading us. We all knew there was danger involved. We wanted to do it. Well, we've come this far. Let's see this thought to the end together. And once we're all done…Let's make sure Granny coughs up a hefty reward. After all, she's the one who got us into this!" Gallows yelled holding a hand up.
"Thanks for you kind words…But…" Virginia said looking around. "Well, to tell you the truth, I said that to try and convince my self as well. I'm scared too, you know? Janus, and that Golem thingy…And that weird threesome…But by working together as a team, it gives me courage—like I can and have to do whatever it takes. We're all so different, but we've done pretty good so far. You know…I kinda like this team…" Gallows said rubbing the back of his head. "Maybe it's because I trust everyone's skills, but its more like…fate? Nah, that's not it. Just like our leader said, it's a bond. We're not tied together by fate. We're tied together by a bond. That's how we made it this far. And we'll continue to be together. Ain't that right, leader?" Gallows asked looking toward Virginia.
"Thanks everyone…I'll do my best…" Virginia said as a huge smile appeared on her face. Now that the Virginia I know. "Even if we stay together, the path we travel will be difficult. That will not change." Clive said with a serious look. "Some of the clues we have so far are the Photo, which was torn in half…the evolution of the planet and scraps of information found in that laboratory regarding a plan to rejuvenate the world. Basically the key point is: Global environmental control." Clive said holding his hands in front of him self.
"Looks like we'll have to prepare to face even more danger in the future." Gallows said looking pretty worried over it. "We maybe able to find more clues in my research material reguarding the history of the planet; I propose we head to my home. It is located south of here, in a town called Humphrey's Peak." Clive said holding a hand out in front of him. "Yes, that sounds like a good idea. And spend sometime with your family. It gets lonely being away from home." Virginia said with a small smile across her face. "Yes…thank you…" Clive whispered to Virginia.
We then all turned in for the night. Well aside from Jet who was on guard duty. Jet placed a letter down by the fire then slowly nodded to him self heading away from the campfire. "Where are you going? Leaving guard duty? That's not very admirable." A voice yelled to Jet. Jet slowly closed his eyes. "Oh, it's you; I hear you're Virginia's father." Jet whispered to the man. Jet slowly turned to look at the man. "Shouldn't you be trying to stop her?" Jet asked. The man didn't answer.
"What? The silent treatment? Ah, forget it…I quit. Solving the mystery of this planet? No, thanks. That's ain't for me." Jet said rubbing a hand in his hair. "I'm just a drifter. I only work for profit, so I plan on bailing." Jet said pointing to him self. "That's what I suggest you do. I endowed you with the Airget-lamh so that you can survive on your own. You are unable to handle any other Arm. However, you have the Airget-lamh. Use its power to survive the wasteland. Even if you find yourself alone in this world, just remember there is a reason for your existence on Filgaia." The man whispered looking toward the ground. Jet could only give him a confused look.
"You sure like taking care of me. I mean, you did teach me how to fight and to survive on my own in the wasteland. But save your meddling for your daughter and her cousin, not me…" jet said looking away. "C-Cousin! S-Sara?" the man said with a shocked look on his face. Jet gave him a confused look. "S-She's here too!" The man asked. Jet nodded pointing toward the campfire. Then the man slowly shook his head. "She shouldn't have left…boot hill…" He whispered under his breath. "You know something don't you?" Jet asked as the man looked at him. "Maybe you even know why I don't have any memories of my past, too!" jet yelled. The man didn't answer. "Are me and Sara connected in some way?" Jet asked. He still didn't answer.
"There you go again, clamming up. Have it your way. I've had a change of heart." Jet said starting back toward the campfire. "I'll stay with them for now, that way I'll be forced to track you down, no matter what. I'll save the Q & A session 'till then." Jet whispered to him.
An unforgettable memory can at times seem like an ugly scar.
Before long morning came; we got read to head for Clive's town. "Humphrey's Peak is located south of here. Just cross the bridge and stay along the shore. Is anyone listening to me?" Clive asked looking around. I watched Virginia pick up a letter. "Hey, what's this looks like a letter addressed to us. Is this your writing…jet…?" Virginia asked looking it over. Jet quickly grabbed it. "HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Virginia yelled at him. "Whatever…" jet said looking away. Then jet quickly cut the letter up. "Don't tell me you were thinking about leaving a note and sneaking away…" Virginia said with a look of angry in her eyes.
"I said whatever!" Jet said crossing his arms and closing his eyes. "I know you were always on your own, but you're not alone anymore." Virginia said with a small smile. Jet waved a hand at her like he wanted her to move away. "Yeah, I know…" jet whispered. Virginia then quickly grab into one of his hands. "It's much more beautiful to be with someone then to be alone. I'm a firm believer in that bond." Virginia said shaking his hand a bit. "Okay…okay…! Now let go of my hand!" Jet yelled trying to free him self from Virginia. "Maybe it was really a love-letter to someone?" Gallows said with a grin. "Just stop that thought right there…"Jet whispered angry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Melody appeared in a room with the golem beside her. "Hmm? Your back…" lee halt said not looking away from the screen. "Yes…" she whispered. "Something when wrong I take it…" Lee halt whispered turning around to look at her. "Yes…well…" Melody said telling lee halt what had happened. "A barrier around a girl with the drifters?" lee halt whispered placing a hand under his chin. "Yes…but no human can make a barrier like that…" Melody added in. "yes…that true. I take it you believe this girl is lady from ten years ago…?" lee halt asked. "Yes…but I don't see how it could be here…Lady should have died…" Melody said holding her hands in front of her self. Lee slowly nodded listening to her. "Yes…she should be died as the others…but…watch this girl; if she is lady bring her here. Then are plans can move faster…" Lee halt said turning back to face the screen.
"Yes, I will keep an eye on that girl…" Melody whispered disappearing from the room. Lee halt slowly grinned. "Hehe…I wonder how beautifully lady has become…She should be 17 years old by now…" Lee halt started to laugh to him self.
We slowly made are way south across the sand bridge. From what Clive told us the town was close to a beach. It wasn't long before we did see the town before us. The town of Humphrey's Peak. We headed into town. It was a small town but a nice town as well. As we entered town we stood on a bridge. We could see a bit of water under the bridge. "So this is Humphrey's Peak…it's pretty." Virginia said looking around. "Yeah, this place is nice. Might you be a landowner?" Gallows asked looking toward Clive. Clive started to laugh a bit. "Oh, no no…nothing likes that." Clive said rubbing the back of his head.
"My house is the one with the blue roof. Please, let me introduce you to my wife and daughter." Clive said looking toward the house. We slowly nodded to him heading across the bridge and into town square. We headed to the very back of town where we found a house with a blue roof. Clive unlocked the door then we headed inside. We saw a little girl sitting on a chair as we entered the house. "I'm home, Kaitlyn. Have you been a good girl?" Clive asked smiling toward the little girl. "Daddy!" Kaitlyn yelled running over to Clive. Clive picked her up and hugged her. "Have you kept daddy's promises?" Clive asked Kaitlyn.
"Yup! I didn't catch a cold and I've been helping out mommy too! But I still hate Celery." Kaitlyn answered with a huge smile across her face. I smiled watched them. I couldn't believe how cute Kaitlyn was. "Then let's promise on your ribbons that you'll be able to eat celery next time." Clive said with a smile across his face. "Okay, I'll try my best! I promise on my ribbons!" Kaitlyn said touching her ribbons. A woman with green eyes entered the room. "I thought I heard Kaitlyn all excited. Welcome home, Honey. But what a surprise; you always write us before hand, letting us know when you're coming." The woman said with a soft smile across her face.
Clive smiled looking toward the woman. "Yes, I just stopped by to do a little research. Oh, yes. Let me introduce you to my traveling companions." Clive said placing Kaitlyn down on the floor. But before Clive could say anymore; gallows stepped forward. "Gallows Caradine a Baskar by your side." Gallows said holding a hand out in front of him. I shook my head watching him. As an angry look entered Jet's eyes watching Gallows. "I am available twenty-four hours, seven days a week for your guardian consultation needs, Ma'am. At your service." Gallows said holding a hand over his chest. "He still hits on anything with two lets…" I whispered to Jet. "Yep…" Jet whispered back to me.
"I'm Virginia…" Virginia said pointing to her self. "And this is Jet…" Virginia said as Jet looked away. Then Virginia pointed over to me. "And she's Sara…" I slowly nodded. "Clive's been teaching us so much about everything." Virginia whispered looking toward the woman. "I'm Catherine it's nice to meet you all. Please make your selves at home." The woman said with a warm smile across her face. The little girl then bowed. "Hi, I'm Kaitlyn. Mommy and daddy's little girl; thank you for looking after Daddy." Kaitlyn said. Clive's daughter is so cute. I couldn't believe how cute she was just looking at her.
"I'm sorry, but we need to take over the living room for awhile. We need to do some research." Clive said holding his arms out to his sides. "I understand. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know." Catherine said with a kind smile. "About the research?" Clive asked. "No, no…I will never be able to fill father's shoes…How about some Tea or coffee? Kaitlyn, will you help mommy in the kitchen?" Catherine asked looking down toward her daughter. "Okay!" Kailtyn said with a nod. "I'll help you two out as well…" Catherine nodded to me as I followed them into the kitchen.
Catherine when over to a closet to get out some tea bags as well as coffee grounds and a filter for the coffee maker. "Kaitlyn you and Sara make the tea and I'll take care of making the coffee…" Catherine said handing over the tea bags to Kaitlyn. "Ok mommy…!" I slowly kneed down to her. "Let's start making the tea then Auntie Sara…" Kaitlyn said with a smile. "Auntie Sara…?" I asked with a smile patting her head. "W-well mommy and daddy don't have any brothers or sisters…so I-I…" I smiled watched her. "It's alright; you can call me Auntie Sara if you like…" I whispered to her. "Yay!" she yelled jumping a bit. "Well, let's get started making that tea Kaitlyn…" I slowly stood up. "Ok, Auntie Sara!" She yelled back to me as I got the tea pot out.
A bit later the coffee and Tea were made. Kaitlyn helped me bring the coffee and Tea out to the living room where the others we're looking over some research books. I handed a cup of tea over to Virginia. She nodded to me and when back looking over the book. Then I handed a cup of coffee to Clive and Gallows; they both thanked me looking back down to some books as well. "Here Uncle Jet!" I heard Kaitlyn say. "I don't want it…" I heard jet snap at her. I turned around finding Jet standing in front of a window in the living room. "Please?" She asked still holding the cup up to Jet.
Jet glared a bit crossing his arms as he looked away from her. I quickly made my way over to him. I stopped right in front of him and started to glare at him. He then quickly looked over to me. "W-what!" Jet asked sweating a bit. "Take the cup…" I whispered to him. "I said…I don't want it…" Jet whispered back to me. "You will take that cup…or you're sleeping in the same room as Gallows tonight…" I whispered again still glaring toward him. Then I heard jet sigh to him self. "Fine…Kaitlyn…h-hand me that cup…" Jet said holding one of his hands out. Kaitlyn did so happy. Jet looked down into the cup question. "What is this…?" he asked. "Its tea me and Auntie Sara made…" Kaitlyn answered him. Jet glared down at the tea.
"Hope it better then what Virginia made…" jet whispered; just then Virginia's tea cup came flying toward him. Jet quickly ducked in time. "I heard that!" Virginia yelled toward us. Jet felt a sweat drop roll down the back of his head. "I mean it…" jet whispered to me. Virginia quickly glared toward Jet. He quickly looked away like he didn't do anything. "It's good Uncle Jet…try it!" Kaitlyn said with a smile. "Fine…" jet said taking a drink from the tea cup. A look of surprised entered his eyes. "Hey…" he whispered staring down at the cup. I looked confused toward him.
"It is good…So only Virginia can't cook from your family then…?" He asked with a small grin across his face. "Uh…well…" But before I could say any more I watched Virginia quickly move toward us. I coughed to Jet pointing toward Virginia. Jet quickly backed up a bit sweating like crazy. Virginia got up to him glaring at him. "W-what?" he yelled looking around. "Don't you what me!" Virginia yelled at him as she pointed a finger toward his face. I shook my head a bit watching them as they started to fight. And Virginia says it look like I am dating him with all the fighting me and him do. Well she really should look at her self. She does a lot of fighting with him as well. Maybe even more then I do. Then I felt something touch my leg.
I looked down to find Kaitlyn there. "Should we stop them Auntie Sara?" She asked. I slowly shook my head toward Kaitlyn. "It's normal for good friends to fight like that…" I whispered down to her. We watched Virginia quickly walk back over to the chair; she had been sitting in. "Good friends my ass…" Jet whispered under his breath. I laughed a bit looking toward Jet. He then quickly looked away fixing his hair a bit. I watched Kaitlyn look question toward Jet. She made her way over to him. "Hmm what kid…?" Jet asked looking down to Kaitlyn. She waved her hand at Jet. He kneed down to her looking a bit confused.
Kaitlyn started to whisper something into his ear. As soon as she stopped whispering; Jet quickly looked toward me with a deep red face. I couldn't help but look confused toward the two of them. Then when jet saw me looking toward him; he quickly turned away. I wonder what kaitlyn whispered to him. I watched as Kaitlyn slowly made her way back over to me. I could hear her giggling a bit. "What did you say to him…?" I asked her. "Huh?" she said looking a bit confused toward me. I gave her a confused look back. "Oh that's…umm…" kaitlyn whispered looking toward jet. Jet quickly shook his head toward her. "It's a secret!" Kaitlyn said with a smile across her face.
I shrugged a bit looking away from Kaitlyn. I felt her clinging into my leg again. I patted her head a bit. We watched Gallows stand up and look toward Clive and Virginia. "Well? Are we getting any closer to solving the mysteries of the world from words of our forefathers?" Gallows asked holding a hand up into the air. Jet shrugged a bit. "Who knows…All I see are words. Am I supposed to know what they mean?" Jet asked rubbing a hand in his hair. "Yeah, I hear ya. Books without pictures are boring." Gallows said putting his arms back down at his side. "I don't think…Jet was talking about that…" I whispered shaking my head toward gallows. "Huh?" gallows said looking lost.
Jet rolled his eyes at Gallows. "Hmm…" Virginia slowly looked toward Clive. "How about you, Clive? Anything?" Virginia asked. "According to my documents there have been many attempts to alter our environment throughout the ages. However, the method was not evolution as the prophets stated, but rejuvenation…and this massive undertaking called the Yggdrasil project was most likely the biggest of its kind. A great deal of money, technology, and time was invested into this yggdrasil system." Clive finished saying looking toward Virginia. "When did this project start?" Virginia asked. "Hmm…this book fails to mention it. Oh, but there is a section here about the experts who carried out this project. Let's see…" Clive said looking over the book.
"It appears they were a party of seven, each with their own area of expertise, such as science and magic. The members of this organization were replaced according to what specific field was needed at the time. However, this organization always consisted of seven members, and later referred to as the Council of Seven." Clive said looking up from the book. "The Council of Seven…Council of Seven…" Virginia whispered to her self. "What is it?" Clive asked looking to Virginia questionly. "Umm…I can't put my finger on it, but there's something about that name." Virginia said putting a hand under her chin. Virginia looked a bit confused as she pulled out the taped photo with her father on it. I watched her stare at it in shock. "That photo of daddy…it's got seven people in it!" Virginia cried. We all quickly turned to look at Virginia.
"And your old man was a scientist, just like the Council of Seven…" Jet said crossing his arms. "Your saying he may have been part of it Jet…?" I asked looking toward him. "I-I don't Know…I'm just saying what I know…" Jet said looking back at me. "This is…" Virginia whispered staring at the photo. "So if our leader's father was a member of the council of seven…would that mean this massive Yggdrail project was about ten years ago? I've never heard any thing about it." Gallows said rubbing the back of his head a bit. "Let's not jump to conclusions. Just because there are seven people in the picture doesn't make them the Council of Seven." Clive said. He did have a point. But now that I thought about it; I remembered Uncle Maxwell disappearing for weeks and weeks at a time.
Maybe he was really part of the council of seven. We all stared at the photo a bit. A guy with blonde hair stood out for some reason. "Uh….you know…this is gonna sound really stupid, but doesn't this guy here look familiar?" Gallows asked pointing to the blonde Guy in the photo. Jet quickly looked toward Gallows. "Hey, yeah…I've seen him somewhere." Jet whispered nodding to him self. "So, who's he supposed to look like?" Virginia asked still staring at the photo. "I think it was Malik or whatever. You know, one of the Prophets." Gallows said like it wasn't a big deal. WE all stood back a bit hearing that. "W-what?" I whispered under my breath. "One half of this picture was kept at Virginia's correct?" Clive asked. Virginia slowly nodded.
"I remember seeing this photo about ten years ago, Just when my father disappeared." She whispered looking up from the photo. "So ten years have elapsed, yet the man in question has not aged." Clive said pulling his glasses up a bit. How could someone not age at all for ten years? I don't understand at all. "Could it just be a look-a-like?" Jet asked. "Or maybe there's some kinda hidden secret behind this…" Gallows whispered.
------------
Inside a room Malik was staring at a tube with a woman inside of it. "It's me, Malik. See? Look at me and try to remember…" Malik said to the woman. The woman didn't answer him. Malik shook his head a bit looking toward the floor. "Even if the cloning is successful, it is meaningless if there is nothing within…A mere Vessel of Flesh without memories is worthless." Malik whispered looking toward the ceiling. "If only I could…Remake…on like that girl…from years ago…" he whispered closing his eyes.
Wait just a little longer…I will regain your memories…
Clive sighed a bit cleaning up the books with Virginia's help. "Are you done today daddy?" Kaitlyn asked letting go of my leg and heading over to her father. "Yes, I am…" he said picking up his daughter. "Why don't we rest for the day and plan are next move tomorrow?" Gallows asked. "You just want to look at the women in town…" Virginia whispered glaring at Gallows. He quickly started to laugh rubbing the back of his head. "Well…uh…yeah!" gallows said stepping back a little. "Hump….Men!" Virginia growled a bit crossing her arms.
From the sound of it; Virginia sounded a bit jealous for some reason. I gave her a weird look. Then I watched her quickly glare at me. I Looked away as quickly as I could Then I felt someone touch my arm. I checked with one eye. Yup, it was Virginia. I found her glaring at me. "W-what?" I asked started to sweat a bit. She started to pull on my arm. "Your coming with me!" she yelled not saying anymore. "But where are we going?" I asked as we left the living room. But she didn't answer me.
"I wonder what that was about…" Gallows said placing a hand under his chin. Clive shook his head a bit looking toward Gallows. Jet glared at him. "With Men like Gallows he gives us all Men a bad name…" Jet whispered turning around to look out of the window. Gallows quickly looked toward the ground. "That a low blow Man…" Gallows Cried. Clive laughed a bit to him self. Kaitlyn looked up at him confused. "What just Uncle Jet mean daddy?" Kaitlyn asked. "That's a Secret…" Clive whispered to his daughter. "Aww…" Kaitlyn whispered.
Virginia had pulled me into the back of the house. But I wondered what could be back here. Virginia quickly stopped in front of a door. I looked around lost. "Where are we…?" I asked looking at her. I watched her turn to me with a huge grin across her face. "You will see…open the door." Virginia said pointing to the door in front of us. Why was my stomach acting up again? Maybe because I so hate surprises. "N-no that's alright…I'll Pass…" I said waving my hands in front of her a bit. Virginia quickly started to look angry toward me. "Open that door!" She yelled at me. "Y-Yes Ma'am!" I quickly did as I was told. Why? Because she scary me when she angry. I opened the door and I stared in shock by what I saw.
There was an inside open bath in the house. Clive had some money, didn't he? "You were acting that way because you wanted to take a bath…?" I asked giving her a weird look. "Uh…part of it?" Virginia said rubbing the back of her head. "And why did you bring me then…?" I asked glaring a bit toward Virginia. "Well…I thought we could bathe together…" Virginia whispered with a small grin across her face. "What are we? Five years old again?" I asked. "Oh…come on! We haven't bathe for sometime I'm sure we both need it…" I sighed giving into her. I Knew I was a bit smelly. How many weeks had it been…? I didn't know but…I knew Virginia was right. Plus my hair needed some Shampoo badly. "Ok fine…" I whispered as I watched her j ump up and down.
"Yay! Come-on!" Virginia yelled grabbing into my arm pulling me into the room. I was surprised by how big it was. "Aren't you coming?" Virginia asked getting into the open inside bath. "Yeah, in a minute…" I answered putting my cloths into a basket. I stared down at my left side. The Scar was still there. Where did I get that scar I didn't know. I have had that scar as long as I could remember. Maybe I got that scar when I was born. I shook off my trail of thought. I put a towel around my self then I headed into the bath to join Virginia. "Feel nice doesn't it?" She asked as soon as I sat down in the water. I shrugged to her. "I guess…" I whispered closing my eyes. I could hear her giggling for some reason. Oh, god what is she up to now? I wondered. I slowly opened my eyes looking toward her.
She was standing up and looking over some wall. "What in the world are you doing now?" I asked glaring at her. "Just checking to see if Jet will bathe over there…" Virginia whispered with a small grin across her face. "W-wait what?" I asked feeling some sweat roll down my face. "Hehe the males' bath is on the other side of this wall…" Virginia said turning to look at me. "That makes me feel unsafe bathe here now…" I whispered going under the water a little. "How come?" Virginia asked looking lost. Just then the door on the males' side opened.
"Go on ahead Jet…My self and Gallows will join you in a bit…" Clive whispered handing him a towel. Jet just shrugged at Clive. "And don't look over at the girls no matter how much you want too…" Clive whispered with a small smile across his face. Jet quickly blushed taking the towel from Clive. "W-whatever….its not like I wanted too…" Jet whispered looking away. Clive couldn't help but laugh to him self as he closed the door. Jet felt a bit lost by what Clive said. "Why would I want to look over at them?" He wondered out loud. He removed his jacket and scarf placing them into a basket by his feet. He shrugged to him self slowly pulling off his black shirt. Then he threw it into the basket as well.
"Hmm?" He whispered staring down at a scar on his right side. IT was still there. He moved his hand up and down on it. He had it as long as he could remember. But he knew; he didn't get it from a monster. He wondered if he had got it from when he was born. When ever that was; Jet then quickly blinked. Is someone looking at me? He wondered. He quickly looked behind him. Virginia quickly ducked in time. Jet looked confused toward the wall. He was pretty sure he saw someone with Honey brown hair. "Virginia…" He whispered growling to him self. Why was she looking over at him anyways?
"That was close he about saw me…" Virginia said sweating a bit. "Who?" I asked. "Hehe Jet…" Virginia said rubbing the back of her head a bit. I glared a bit at her. "Doing that….he may look over here. And if he does it your entire fault…" I whispered pointing at her. "Aww…but you should have seen his chest…he really build…" Virginia said with a small grin across her face. I felt my face turn a bit red hearing that from Virginia. "W-why would I want to see him like that?" I asked quickly turning my back to her. I could hear her giggling behind me. This was all part of her plan wasn't it? Her very evil plan; I could feel it in my bones.
Just then I felt someone touch me. "Hehe Wow Sara they are soft…" I quickly turned deep red. "What the hell are you doing!" I yelled trying to throw her off. "Hehe…yours are so much bigger then mine…" Virginia said with a giggle. "That's no reason to go all Bi on me!" I yelled throwing her off of me. Virginia fell into her butt sitting in the water now giggling. Slowly a look of shock entered her eyes.
Jet slowly sat down in the water shaking his head a bit. He could hear Virginia without trying to listen. "Hehe wow Sara they are soft…" as soon as he heard that; he started blushing for some reason. But he didn't even know what she was talking about. "W-why am I blushing?" Jet asked him self staring down at the water. "Hehe…Yours are so much bigger then mine…" Jet heard Virginia say. He could feel him self blushing more. 'Stop blushing…stop blushing…' he thought. "Sara? What's that Scar on your left side?" Jet blinked hearing that. 'A scar on her left side?' jet quickly stared down at his right side.
Diffence sides but they both had scars for some reason. Maybe they really were connected. But he felt scared thinking about it for some reason. Why did he feel this fear? He wondered. "Uh? I don't know…I have had it as long as I can remember…" Jet froze. Did he just hear that right? "So you didn't get it from some monster?" Virginia asked. "Nope…" He heard Sara answer. Jet slowly closed his eyes trying not to think about it. But it wasn't working. He wanted to know why they both had scars. He slowly opened his eyes and touched where he had his. Was that scar a key to his lost memories? "Virginia where are you going?" Virginia quickly waved her hand toward the voice. "Somewhere…" She answered the voice.
Jet snapped out of his thoughts seeing two green eyes looking down at him. He let out a yell as he sat in the water looking up at Virginia. "What the hell are you doing over here?" Jet yelled up toward her. She started to laugh at him. "Why is your face so red…?" She asked kneeing down to him. "I-It's isn't red!" He snapped looking away from her. Virginia quickly started to pull on his arm a bit. "What the hell are you doing?" He yelled at her. "Hehe…your coming with me…!" Virginia said starting to pull him with her.
I could hear Jet yelling a lot. I wondered what the hell Virginia was doing to him. It-It's not like I was worried or anything! I was just wondering that's all! I saw her head back over to the side I was sitting on. But…She had a huge grin across her face. Oh, god…what did she do now? I wondered. "I brought someone with me…" I slowly looked behind her at the tomato color face of Jet. "V-Virginia? What the hell are you thinking!" I yelled. Glad I had my towel on. "Hehe…I thought Jet would like to bathe over here…" Did she forget Jet's a guy?
I'm pretty sure she did. I really think she was blonde when she was little. But she still acts blonde as you can see. "Are you stupid or something? Jet's a guy!" I yelled at her. "What's your point?" Virginia asked. I could see Jet was trying to back away. He knew he shouldn't be here. And he looked like he didn't want to be here. But Virginia saw him backing away as well and quickly grabbed into his arm. "Hehe where are you going?" Virginia asked him with a giggle.
"Let-let go!" He yelled freeing his arm from Virginia's hold; but he lost his balance and started to fall. I saw him falling toward me. I le tout a scream as I saw him falling toward me. I felt lot of water go up in front of me and around me. I quickly closed my eyes. "O-ouch…" I whispered slowly opened them again. I could see a shadow over my self. I slowly looked up at Jet staring at me. But he wasn't even trying to move. He just staying as he was staring. His mouth was open a bit. Maybe out of shock? His face was still as read as a tomato too.
"J-jet?" I asked. But I didn't get any word out of him. I could hear Virginia giggling a bit. This was all her fault. "Looky what I found…!" She yelled toward us. We both looked up at her a bit confused. "Mistletoe!" She yelled holding it over Me and Jet.
( Yeah, yeah I know I am so evil. Aren't I? Just leaving it like that? Hehe, well it keeps people coming back for more! )
