Chapter 26: Recovering and Past Memories
Back inside Yggdrasil; Lee halt, Malik and Melody reappeared in the room. "Looks like…we were all able to escape from that battle…" Melody said breathing heavy. "But…we used such excessive, reckless power…our bodies may…disintegrate at…any moment…" Malik said feeling his body shake a bit. "What have we accomplished…? What will we…leave behind…? Ultimately nothing…as the ones…entrusted with the word of the gods…there is nothing…so regretful…" Lee halt said shaking his head a bit.
Just then the broken Core behind them started to make sounds. "Oh…my could…it be that…" Melody started to ask. "It's downloading…did we make it…in time..?" Malik asked. "It's a miracle…It's a miracle…But the fleeting sparkle…still lacks the energy…to bring fort the entity…" Lee halt said holding his hands out in front of him. "Is that all you blokes can say? Calling everything a miracle?" Janus asked from behind them.
"Janus? You're alive…but…how?" Lee halt asked. "During the battle with the drifters, I pretended I was dead, allowing me time to fission my body. What the drifters thought they defeated, and what you thought was dead, was just my duplicate figure." Janus said grinning toward the three. "So…even we were…fooled by the sacrifice's…allegiance…?" Melody asked. "I will not let him…betray us…Gia—crush…him…Kanda….Es-trata…Ama…" Malik cried but only to see nothing to happen.
"It's not working, pale face. Out of magic, huh? Gias can't help you, now." Janus said. "We were to exploit the sacrifice…not the…other way around…the sacrifice…bested us all…" Lee halt said as he shook his head. "Sacrifice…Sacrifice! SHUT UP! What do you mean by that!? You are the ones I used as prey in order for me to become the ruler! You can all die in peace now…the future of this planet lies in the good hands of Sir Janus!" Janus said with a laugh.
Just then a voice came from the broke core. "The Sacrifice…is it here?" The voice asked. Then the light came from the broken core and stopped in front of Janus. "Huh? What's this slug doing here? AH HAH HAH HAH HAHHH! You blokes crack me up! You shortened your lives just to summon this slug!?" Janus asked looking toward the light. "So, it is you…you must be the sacrifice…" The voice said. Then the light tried to attack Janus but he repealed it with the dark spear. "Are you calling me your sacrifice!? Whatever, slug head! I've never seen the likes of you, but its time for me to rid this world of demons. It sure feels nice to do good for the world!" Janus stabbed the so called slug head with the dark spear two times. Then the slug head hit it out of his hand.
"I get it…you don't want to be sliced to death, but clobbered to death by my bare hands." Janus said with a grin. "Why I'd be more then happy to take up your request. If there's anything else I can do, please let me know." Janus said with a laugh. "Oh? Now what? You raise your hand to reliever my final blow? Why don't you surprise me." Janus asked. "The dark spear…It is time to return to your rightful owner!" The so called slug head yelled. The spear came toward Janus and stabbed him right in the back.
"Gwaaah…" Janus yelled as he fell to the ground. Then the dark spear landed in the broken core. "I don't get it…I don't get it at all…" Janus said as he looked up. "You…were the chosen sacrifice from the very…beginning…" Lee halt pointed out to Janus. "Every time…you would swing the dark spear…you were gathing energy from the inside…you must have…felt the massive…life force energy when the dark spear pierced the guardian's altar…that torrent of energy…I know…you felt it run through your body via the dark spear…with it in hand. You have not become a formidable being…you have been bewitched by the dark spear…to become the sacrifice…you played an impeccable fool…" Janus now knew they had planned this from the very beginning.
"So this foolish…lapdog was just meant for…fodder?" Janus asked. "You can take pride in knowing that you shall not be slain by the dark spear ever again. You can boast about that in the other world." a knight in blue armor said. "There is no…otherworld…that's why…I chose to be the ruler…of this world…" janus said as he disappeared. "Are you the ones who have summoned me to this land once again?" The knight in blue armor asked. The three slowly nodded. "I am Siegfried! I have returned to wage war on filgaia and its spawn!" Siegfried yelled holding the dark spear at his side.
We had taken Sara to baskar. Virginia had a feeling…she would want to be nowhere by boot hill when she does come too. But…can't really blame her…I mean she just found out. She was nothing more then a clone of Ekatrina! Even…if she was somewhat her daughter as well. But we had no idea when she would wake up; or how she would react when she does come too.
But as soon as we entered baskar colony. Gallows little brother ran up to us. "Big brother!" Shane cried running up to us. "No time now Shane! Please get granny! And tell her to meet us at the house!" Gallows said. "Alright got it!" Shane quickly ran off for the temple to get granny.
"Let's meet them inside my house." Gallows said pointing toward the house. We nodded to him and headed inside gallows' house. After entering I carried her up the stairs and laid her on one of the beds. You know…she's pretty light. But…I wonder how long she will stay like this. When will she wake up again? It had been two days so far. Just to travel back to baskar. And the whole time…she hasn't changed.
"What do you mean you knew?!" gallows voice yelled. I knew…he was speaking to granny. "Keep your voice down!" Halle voice quickly yelled back; I slowly made my way down the stairs. "How is she Jet?" Clive asked me. I slowly shook my head a bit. "…Still the same as she was two days ago, no change at all." I said walking up to the fire where the others were standing. "Yes…after finding out so much in so little time…she couldn't metal take it and passed out." Halle said. Wait…a minute! How did you know that? Come to think of it…you knew she would be this way as well. So out with it, Granny! What are you hiding?!" gallows asked. But…could Halle really had been hiding something? And if she was…what could she have to hide?
"Well…well this is a surprise my grandson finally…sees what is right before him?" Halle asked as she smiled looking toward gallows. "What? Why are you?!" Gallows started to ask. "Claim down! I do have something…I couldn't say in front of miss. Sara…" Halle said shaking her head a bit. "Is it about her?" Clive asked as he watched Halle slowly nod toward him. "Yes…It's about her bring a Shaman. I don't really understand how she is…" Halle said. "But…uh…didn't you always tell me and Shane. Shaman's appear when the world's in danger?" gallows asked. Halle quickly hit gallows over the head with her staff. "Ouch…what was that for?" Gallows asked rubbing the top of his head. "You didn't let me finish! I would have thought by now…you would have learned some kind of matters. But I guess I was wrong." Halle sighed a bit to her self.
It was pretty great to see gallows get hit over the head like that. As well as it was pretty damn funny! Halle started to cough a bit. "As I was saying…" She said glaring toward gallows. "She shouldn't be a shaman…even if she truly is…" Halle had a look of worry on her face. "What do you mean she…shouldn't be?" Virginia asked. "No…there shouldn't be a shaman's on filgaia anymore. The last shaman die out over 2,000 years ago!" We all stood back a bit. "What did you say?" Virginia asked. "But…how could that be? There's no doubt that she is one. She can sense things before we even get close to them." Gallows cried.
"Hmm…unless one of her parents carry a little shaman blood…somehow." Halle said looking toward Virginia. "No…they don't. My mother was just a farm hand on my uncle's farm. And daddy's a scienceist…" Virginia said looking toward the floor. "Maybe…she got it…with other people's DNA in her as well…" Clive whispered. "Remember…the way she was born is different from any other person. Lee halt did call her in-perfect." Clive pointed out. "You're saying who ever DNA when into making her…may have been a shaman at one time?" Halle asked. "Yes…it's the only real answer we have right now. But…the only ones who could answer this…are no longer…." Clive started to say.
"Wait…there maybe a way to get an answer!" Virginia said. "And how is that?" Gallows asked. "Let's head for boot hill…maybe just maybe my aunt and uncle knew something about all this." Virginia said looking to the others. "You mean now?" I asked giving her a weird look. "Well…yeah." She quickly answered. "We can't leave Sara alone as she is now. I mean what if she comes to when we are gone? Who knows what she my do." Gallows did have a good point. Even if we had no idea when she would wake up. Or if…she would as well.
"Hmm…good point. Someone should stay behind then." Virginia said looking around to the others. The only question was…who would? Clive slowly smiled to him self. "How about Jet stays behind?" Clive asked. "What?" I asked quickly looking toward him. What the hell was he up to this time? "Think about it…if you stay behind you will not have to deal with gallows or Virginia for a bit…" Clive whispered to me. Well…that was true and pretty sweet deal. "What are you up to Clive?" I asked him in a whisper voice. "Nothing at all." He said smiling toward me. Yeah right! Like I believe him! "Like I believe that…" I whispered glaring toward him. "Think about it jet…would you like it better if gallows stayed behind with her?" Clive asked. "Hell no!" I quickly yelled. I saw Virginia and gallows giving me a weird look. "What?" Virginia asked. I quickly covered my mouth. Why the hell had I said that out loud?! "Nothing…Jet just said he will be the one to stay behind." Clive said laughing a bit nervously. "He did?" Virginia asked looking lost toward us. "Yes he did." Clive quickly answered.
I did? I don't think so. But bloody hell. I don't care. If I can get away from gallows and Virginia for a bit; Then I'm all for it. I slowly nodded toward Clive. Even if it was really a lie.
"…If you say so. But why would he…?" Virginia asked. "Does it really matter? The problem is over with. We have someone to stay with Sara." Clive said quickly trying to move on. "Well…yeah that's true…but why would he…?" gallows started to ask. Then slowly a grin came into his face. "Oh I see…" I glared toward him. What the hell was that pervert thinking now. "Oh…that's why he wants to stay with her!" Gallows said with a laugh.
Just then Halle and Virginia both hit him over the head at the same time. "You idiot! Jet isn't a pervert like you!" They both yelled at the same time. I could feel a sweat drop roll down the back of my head. But…It was pretty funny watching gallows getting beaten up by two women. "Ouch…gees…" Gallows cried rubbing the top of his head. "Maybe you will learn something from this!" Virginia yelled pointing toward gallows. "Ok…ok I get it Gees…" Gallows said still rubbing the top of his head.
"You should get going if you wish to be in boot hill today…" Halle pointed out. "Yeah…ok let's get going then Clive, Gallows!" Virginia yelled hurrying out of the door. "Leader, wait!" Gallows yelled quickly running after her. Clive shook his head a bit. "Here jet take this." Clive whispered handing 3,000 gella over to me. "What is this for?" I asked giving him a weird look. "You may need it. And when she does wake up…do whatever you can to make her feel better." Clive whispered to me then he quickly hurried out of the house after Virginia.
"Whatever I can…?" I whispered to my self. And soon I felt very confused. What did he mean by that? "Jet…I'll be at the temple if you need me…" Halle said making her way out of the house. I slowly nodded toward her. I slowly turned toward the stairs. When she does wake up…Clive said. But…what if she doesn't wake up? She has been like this for close to three days now. I slowly made my way up the stairs and toward where she was laying. "…Sara?" I asked staring down at her as I got up to her bed.
No answer at all. How long? Will you stay like this? And even when and if you do come too…how will you react? And…why did I see you in my memories of past filgaia? Do you have some kind of tie with all of this? I wondered as I stared down at her. What if….she really doesn't wake up? After a shock like that…it wouldn't be that surprising. But…I wanted her to wake up don't I?
I slowly nodded to my self I did…want her to wake up soon; No…not soon. I wanted her to wake up now. Even if….that wouldn't happen. Was it normal to feel this way? Was it normal…not to want to watch other person in this kind of pain? Bloody hell…I don't know! This…is the first time…I ever didn't want or worry about another person. Was I feeling this way…only because of how I felt for her? Maybe I guess. What other reason was there?
I slowly kneed down beside the bed she was laying on. It was…killing me seeing her like this. Damnit…! Why did Lee halt…have to tell her to start with?! Why…couldn't it have just stayed as a secret? It-It would have been better that way. For her to never learn the truth. But…It was far too late; to be thinking this way now. Wasn't it? Because she did know. "Sara…I don't want to see you like…this. I want to tell my self, this is just a crazy story from some messed up horror story!" I cried closing my eyes. But it wasn't a story. Even if…It sounded as it was. "…you hate him…don't you…Sara?" I asked as I opened my eyes staring toward her again. "But…you have every right to. Just as he said. She has every right to hate me…" I whispered to my self. I started to stare toward her again. She hasn't reacted to anything I say. NO movement aside from breathing. Nothing…she is still the same way. "It's about there days now…" I whispered to my self.
As she was…she looked like she was just sleeping. If so…was she dreaming? If any kind of dreams she was having nothing short of nightmares. "Nightmares, huh?" I whispered to my self remembering my own nightmare of mine. The one I had over and over again. But- I knew who that little girl was now. But…could that little girl…really have been Sara? Or was…It another Sara?
I don't know…how could it have been her? I mean…she's older then me! The girl from my dream or should I say nightmare; I would have to be older then that girl right? I…I just feel more confused every time I think about that damn nightmare!...Especially when I touched the little girl's shoulder in the nightmare. Everything…was destroy. What…does it mean? "I don't know…" I whispered laying my head on the side of the bed. I really don't know. In my mind…I felt like I was running in circles. But these circles wouldn't end.
I needed answers…but Werner wouldn't really give me any. Aside from 'you're a life born on filgaia.' I rolled my eyes a bit. "…I know he is hiding something more." I whispered closing my eyes. Cloud he have been hiding something about me as well? I wondered. Well…knowing him I wouldn't put it pass him. I nodded a bit to my self. Before I knew it…I had fallen asleep.
Somehow…I slept very peacefully there. How I did…after what happened I have no idea. But…I didn't get to sleep very long. Soon I felt someone shaking me a bit; and soon I came out of my sleep. "What the hell…?" I asked as I opened my eyes. I found Shane looking down at me. "Jet! Please wake up!" Shane cried to me. "Ok…ok! I'm wake! Now stop shaking me!" I growled toward him. Shane blinked a bit as he quickly did stop. "…What do you want…anyways?" I asked. "Miss Sara is missing." I quickly jumped to my feet hearing that. "What the hell are you talking about? She's right here…" I started to say looking toward the bad. But I found her missing. How the hell had she had gotten up without me seeing it?!
"You didn't see her get up?" Shane asked. "N-no I didn't. But she couldn't have gone too far. You run and tell Halle and I'll start looking for her." Shane nodded toward me and quickly left the house. But I couldn't understand how I didn't hear her get up. I mean I was right there! Maybe I am a heavy sleeper? Nah…I couldn't be. I slowly made my way to my feet then I left the house.
I quickly looked around the area. She couldn't have gone too far. So more then likely she would still be in the village somewhere. But- where was the question. "Damnit…this is funny. Where the hell are you?" I asked my self. But…I knew I wouldn't get an answer. I would just have to start looking for her. But…I didn't even know where to start looking. I guess…I should just ask some villagers…I thought. They may have seen her. Well…It was the only way. I wasn't going to search the whole damn village! Some villagers said they saw a girl who looked like Sara head into the small store in town. That was the house on the right side of the village by the exit of town; so I quickly headed there and when inside the small store.
"Welcome!" A woman said as soon as I entered. I guess…she's a worker? "Uh…yeah hi. Are you seen a girl wearing all brown cloths?" I asked. "Oh yes, she had been here for a bit. She's back by the stuffed animals' toys I believe. But…she hasn't said a word the whole time." I wasn't surprise to hear that. But…it made me wonder. Could she had lost her voice? I wouldn't be surprise if she has. It would be from the shock. I slowly made my way down a roll. I could see her at the end of the roll. She had a blank look on her face. Soon I stopped beside her. She was staring at some stuffed animal. Maybe…she didn't even know I was even standing there?
"So…here you are." I whispered to her. She slowly looked over to me. She didn't say a word as she just blinked toward me. "You scared Shane when you disappeared." I whispered. She didn't say a word as she when back to staring at the stuffed animal again. I didn't tell her so…but I was as well. But…why was she staring at the stuffed animal to begin with? I didn't see anything weird about it. It was just a normal stuffed animal. I watched her pick it up and stare at it. Did she want that stuffed animal or something?
Then I blinked a bit remembering what Clive had said. "Do whatever I can, huh?" I asked my self. Was this the reason why…Clive had given me some money? …Damn you Clive. I growled a bit to my self. I wasn't good at this kind of thing. But…guard less. I blinked out of my thoughts looking toward Sara. "Do-Do you want that…uh stuffed animal?" I asked. I didn't feel like my self asking a question like this. She looked a bit puzzled toward me; but then slowly did nod. It was a brown terry bear. Did all girls like things that…looked like this?
Hell maybe they did, I don't know. I check the price on it. 2000 gella?! For a stuffed animal? What the hell was that stupid thing made out of? For that price it would have to be real silver or gold! Gees…God. Do people really pay that much for these kinds of things?! And if they do…they are idiots! I slowly looked toward Sara. I sighed a bit to my self. And so was I. I'm an idiot as well. "I-I'll buy it…for you." I said looking toward her.
She gave me that confused look again. That look was asking me why. I didn't really have a reason to give her. "I just want too…" I said. It was the only answer I could give her; because it was true. I did want too…but the real reason behind this was…I didn't like seeing her like this. That…was a good reason for doing something like this right? But…there is no way…none of the others will ever see me doing anything like this for them! No way…no how! I thought.
Soon me and Sara came up to the counter and I handed over the stuffed animal to the cashier. "Sir, we do have this in other colors if you don't like it as brown." The cashier pointed out. "I-It not for me…you should ask her." I said pointing toward Sara. I had forgotten all about her not having a voice. "Well then miss…is brown alright?" The cashier asked her. I slowly opened my mouth. "Brown is just fine." I whispered. I nodded a bit closing my eyes. I quickly snapped toward Sara. "W-what…did you just say?!" I cried looking toward her. D-did she just speak?! Did that mean…she didn't lose her voice? "I…said brown is just fine. Is…something wrong with your ears?" I asked glared toward Jet. "What? No…It's just I thought…" Jet started to say. "…Can we talk about this later?" I asked looking toward the cashier. Jet slowly nodded to paid for the stuffed animal. Then we left the store; Even if I didn't really understand why he brought it for me to start with. The reason he gave me…it was an odd one at that. I just want too. Does that even count as a reason…I wonder.
"Jet?" I asked as soon as we left the store. "What is it?" He asked not looking toward me. "…Why did you really buy it…for me?" I watched him shake his head a bit. "I-I gave you my reason…I just wanted too." He quickly answered. "I don't believe that. What…is this going to make everything better? Just like that?" I asked staring down at the stuffed animal. "Sara…that's not why…" Jet started to say. "Then why? Why did you buy something for me? Just like that! That isn't very much like you at all!" I quickly yelled toward him.
I sighed a bit. I knew…she wasn't angry with me; but…she was just angry period right now. She…wasn't fine at all. And blowing up over something like this; was really showing it. "…maybe your right…that isn't like me. But…is that so wrong?" I asked smiling toward her. She gave me a weird look. "You we're staring at it a lot in that store. So…ya know I thought…" I whispered rubbing the back of my head.
"…Because I remembered something. This stuffed animal…I had another that looked very much like it…when I was little." I slowly nodded to my self. Why…had I just blown up at Jet? He didn't even do anything wrong. But…he was maybe even trying to help me feel a bit better in his own way. "I'm sorry…" I whispered. "What? F-for what?" Jet asked. "For blowing up as I did…I shouldn't have." I said shaking my head. "After what happened…I can't really blame you for blowing up. And after all…you're right. It's not like me at all." Jet said rubbing his right cheek a bit. Why did his face look red?
Why the hell was she staring at my face?! I couldn't stop blushing because of her staring. "…Could you stop staring at me?" I asked. Why jet embarrassed to have a girl look at him?" She quickly asked. "…Stop it." I growled as I closed my eyes. She was picked on me. Why the hell did she have to like to pick on me?!
I felt my self smile. I did feel a bit better now. It was always fun to pick on him. Even if he did get annoyed from it every time. I blinked a bit feeling my self hug into the terry bear. I never did really thank him for buying it for me. "Umm Jet?" He quickly opened his eyes looking toward me. "What?" He asked. "Umm thank you for buying the stuffed animal for me…don't worry I'll pay you back…" I said starting to search for money in one of my pockets. "You don't need too." Jet quickly said. I looked lost toward him. "It's-It's a gift…alright?" Jet quickly looked away as I watch his face turn deep red. "A-gift? Well if you say so." I whispered to my self. "…but still thank you." I whispered as I gave him a small kiss on his left cheek. His face quickly snapped toward me. "What?" I asked feeling puzzled. "…" He didn't say a word as he looked at me.
Why…did the world hate me so? Why…did the world have to do things like this to me? "…N-nothing!" I quickly cried waving a hand in front of my face. Did she really not know? How could she not know? I mean…she doesn't act blonde like Virginia does. Yeah…not even close. But…even so. I had this feeling…she really didn't know. "Listen…I uh…" I started to try to say. But…I found my self unstable to say anymore.
Jet was acting weirder then normal. Wait is weirder even a word? Yeah…I'm sure it isn't; but even so. He was acting very weird. What was…up with him today? "What is it?" I asked eyeing him. He kept silent. Maybe…he didn't really know him self. I wouldn't be surprised. I mean…this is jet after all.
"Uh…" Jet rubbed the back of his head a bit. "Oh…there you are jet!" A voice yelled to us. We both turned to watch Shane run toward us. "Shane?" I asked looking confused toward the boy. "Oh! Ms.sara are you alright?" Shane asked sounding a bit worried. "…uh pretty much." Was all I could get out of my mouth. "Well grand mother was right! She said not o worry and she was right!" Shane said. "Not to worry about what?" I asked. Oh…Crap. No…please tell me Shane will not tell her everything! "About you…didn't Jet tell you? You we're out cold for about three days!" Shane cried. "I was what?!" Sara yelled as she quickly glared toward me. Crap…when did Shane get a big mouth? "Jet…did you forget to tell me something?" She yelled glaring toward me. "Uh…" I stepped back a bit. She was really pissed off.
"What jet you didn't tell her?" Shane asked. I quickly glared toward the boy. "I guess not. Then you didn't tell her…Virginia and the other headed off to boot hill as well?" Shane asked. "SHANE!" I yelled toward him. It was really showing right now…that this kid was gallows' little brother. "What?" Shane asked looking lost. "Boot hill? Why would she?" I started to ask but then it clicked. She when there…to ask about me. "…Why did you stay behind then?" I asked jet looking away from him. "…" Jet didn't answer as he kept silent. "…I asked you a question…" I whispered as I felt angry quickly take me over. He still kept quiet. "What do you want to hear?" Jet asked. "What do you mean?" I asked quickly turning to look at him.
Jet shook his head a bit. "It doesn't matter…how I answer or what I say. You will still be annoyed…no angry over the answer." I pointed out to her. She was glaring at me again. She didn't want to hear that. Even if…it was true. But…maybe it was better for her not to learn the truth. Anymore of the truth that was. "…Why did you stay behind…I will not ask again." Sara said. The tone in her voice was nothing but angry. She wouldn't be happy to hear why. But…after Shane had told her. I guess…it was only right to tell her the rest.
"I…Stayed behind to keep an eye on you…in-in matter of speaking that is…" I nervously got out of my mouth. "Keep an eye on me? What? You think I will stab my self with a pen or something?!?" she quickly yelled toward me. "What? No! I wouldn't think anything like that!" I quickly said waving my hands in front of my self. "Maybe not you…Enduro but…" I watched her quickly shake her head a bit. "Clive or Virginia would…just because I hate my self…right now doesn't mean…I would do an act as that!" Sara yelled then she quickly ran back toward gallows' house. "…S-Sara!" I yelled to her. But she just kept on running. "…She thinks we don't trust her…but that's not it…" I whispered staring toward the ground. "Everyone just worried about her…" A voice spoke up.
I quickly looked toward the voice to found Halle standing there. "Oh…it's you." I whispered. "Grandmother!" Shane said. "I'm surprised in you Shane…I thought you would have known not to tell her…all you had said…" Halle said as she shook her head at her grandson. "I-shouldn't have said that?" Shane asked. My self and Halle shook are heads. "I think gallows is rubbing off on him…" I said sighing to my self. "We can only hope…that isn't so. I need one grandson that listens." Halle pointed out. "…One is all you will get with that." Halle nodded to me. "Shane I want you to come with me, you did too much damage for one day." Halle said starting back toward the temple. "I'm sorry…Grandmother I didn't mean too…" Shane cried. "Even if…you didn't mean to; the bottom line is that you did." Halle pointed out. "I-I know…grandmother…" Shane said with a sigh. "Now…hurry along to the temple and wait for me there." Halle said pointing toward the temple.
Shane nodded and quickly started toward the temple. "Kids these days…" Halle whispered under her breath. I just shrugged to my self. To Halle I was sure…I was a kid as well. "I apologies for Shane's actions, jet. I don't know what got into that boy." Halle said shaking her head a bit again. Why was she apolozing to me? Shouldn't it be said to Sara? I wondered. "Shouldn't you be saying that to her? Not me?" I quickly asked as I looked away from Halle. Halle slowly shook her head a bit. "No…I'm sure she doesn't want anyone by her; right now." Halle said slowly started toward the temple. "No one…?" I asked my self. Maybe…I should have told her the truth; why I stayed behind to start with. But…it was a bit late to be thinking that way now.
I looked toward gallows' house. I was sure she was inside…but. Should I even go check on her? She may just blow up on me again. Then again…if I don't I'll get an eye full with big mouth and the others return. I sighed to my self as I started toward gallows' house. Would the door even be unlocked, I wonder. But to my surprise…I found it was unlocked. I shrugged to my self as I slowly opened the door, and hoped nothing would come flying toward me as I entered. But to my surprise nothing hit me. And it was quiet. A bit too quiet. I slowly closed the door behind me. "Sara?" I called but didn't get an answer. She had to be here somewhere, right? I slowly made my way toward the small fire that was always burning. She wasn't by it. So maybe she was up stairs?
Maybe even resting on one of the beds? I shrugged to my self as I made my way up the stairs. "Sara?" I called as I got to the top still no answer. But I knew that she heard me; even if she wasn't answering me. "I know you're up here…" I said feeling a bit annoyed. "Go away." I heard her voice quickly say. I slowly started toward the beds. I found her sitting on the last one; she was facing toward the wall. "I said go away!" She yelled to me as she kept facing toward the wall. "Well…that's too damn bad. I'm not leaving." I said feeling a small smirk come across my face. She didn't say a word back to me at first. Maybe…she was unsure of what to say.
"You're…Jet enduro aren't you?" I asked sounding a bit confused. "As far as I know, that is and always has been my name." Jet quickly answered me. Yes…that was truly a jet answer. But regardless; Jet had been acting different today for some reason. "…If so. If you really are Jet enduro why haven't you been acting like him? It's like…I'm around a whole new person." I pointed out. "What do you mean?" Jet asked playing dumb. "Don't give me that! You aren't acting like your whatever who cares self! So what the hell up with you?" She yelled as she turned to look at me. Was-was it really weird to see me like this? To see me acting nice? Ok…maybe it did feel weird being that way. Even if I did have a reason behind it. "It is really that weird for me to act this way? Maybe I have a reason. But the reason matters not to you." I quickly covered my mouth. Why the hell had I just said all of that out loud?!
"…You have a reason for acting like this?" Jet didn't answer as he looked away. "So what if I do. It's none of your business." Jet quickly said and turned away from me. Well. That change didn't stay very long did it? He was back to his cold old self again. But…I wonder can him or any of the others think of me the same anymore?
"Jet?" I asked. "What?" He asked sounding a bit annoyed. "Do you think of me in a different way now?" I asked staring toward the floor. Jet felt him self step back a bit. D-Did she know now? "…W-what do you mean?" Jet asked playing dumb again. "Don't give me that!" I quickly yelled. "Sara?" Jet asked. "How can anyone look at me the same anymore? When they know very well…that I'm not human?!" I cried. I could feel the tears starting to run from my eyes and slowly made they're way down my cheeks.
"…Sara…" I whispered to her. What could I really say to her? It was true…she wasn't a real human. She was truly alone on Filgaia…that's why. I wished she would have never had found out the truth. About…what she really is. An in-perfect clone of Ekatrina. I shook my head a bit. Was…she? Was she crying? Damnit…I wasn't good at this kind of thing. Not good? No! I sucked at it! "…T-That shouldn't m-matter if you're human or not right?" I asked slowly sitting down beside her.
"What do you mean? That shouldn't matter?" I asked staring toward the floor. "…Uh…I mean uh…your just you right?" Jet asked. "Umm yeah…" I whispered. He was trying to help me feel better. Even if he wasn't very good at this kind of thing. "…I know I suck at this…and I'm not helping am I?" Jet asked rubbing the back of his head a bit. I slowly looked up toward him. He was looking away. Well…he was trying. And know that did mean a lot. I mean…who would have thought this cold hearted drifter would even try to help me feel better. "Well not really, no. But…knowing you're trying to mean a lot so thank you, jet." I said feeling my self hug the terry bear close to me. "…Sara…" Jet whispered to me. "…I was thinking a lot…But I wonder if Lee halt thought of me as Ekatrina's Replacement." I whispered feeling my self tightly hold the terry bear close to me. "Replacement?" Jet asked. "I believe…Lee halt thought of me as Ekatrina…so to him…I was her. A replacement of her." I whispered. Maybe…It did hurt to say this But that just what I thought.
In Lee halt's eyes I was Ekartrina. But regardless…even how I was born. You can't replace someone who is gone. No matter how much one tries too. You just can't. "You're not her…you're not Ekatrina…" Jet whispered toward me. "I know that. I am Sara. No matter what he says. That is my name and has always been my name." I whispered closing my eyes.
"Yeah…" she whispered. She knew it…no matter what that old man lee halt said. She was on person. And one person alone. She was her self. I slowly looked over to her. She was hugging tightly the stuffed bear I had brought for her. And for some reason…I started to blush seeing her hugging it. "Thank you…again for the bear…" Sara whispered toward me. "y-you're welcome…" I said quickly looking away from the girl; who I was sitting next too. It was so quiet…that you could even hear a pin drop. It was never this quiet with big mouth around. I could take this enjoy it; because I wouldn't have it very long. "…Jet?" Sara asked out of nowhere. "…What?" I felt annoyed the silent had been broken. "When will Virginia and the others be back?" Sara asked. "…I don't know." I quickly answered her. "Oh…" I slowly looked over to her. "You miss them that much?" I asked feeling a bit surprised. "No…It's not that."
What was it then? Then again…how could anyone miss big mouth? You can hear her anywhere pretty much. "I wonder if she found out…what she wanted too." Sara whispered to her self. Found out what she wanted too? Wait…was she talking about…!? "Wait…your not saying that…your Aunt and Uncle knew who you we're right?" I asked her. She slowly nodded toward me. "They knew…when Werner first brought me to boot hill." Sara whispered very quietly.
But I didn't understand…how could they have known even then? "But…how?" I asked. "I think…I looked even more so…like Ekatrina when I was little because…they looked shocked when me and Werner entered they're farm house." Sara whispered closing her eyes. I just stared toward her a bit. She was remembering something. Would I get memories back as she was? Maybe…then I would learn if that little girl called Sara was really her as well.
I could remember it so easy now. Maybe…because some of my memories we're returning to me. Was it because my eyes we're open to the whole truth about my self? Maybe…but I couldn't say for sure. But…It would have to be…been close to Ten years ago. I was seven years old then and Virginia would have been Eight.
Flash back from Ten years ago…
I remember very clearly now. Werner was breath very heavy as we made are way toward boot hill. Had something happened to him? Was he in pain? I don't know…but. "Uncle Werner…you alright?" Little Sara asked. "I'll be fine…but I need to get you to boot hill…then you will be safe…" Werner answered still breathing heavy. "Safe from what?" little Sara asked sounding confused. "…Safe from them…I will not let them misuse you…Sara. I-I promise that…" Werner said shaking his head a bit. "Them?" Little Sara asked staring up toward her uncle. "I-I can't tell you. But…believe me is it for your own well being." Werner whispered toward the little girl. "Ok…if you say so uncle. Will he stay with me in boot hill as well?" Little Sara asked pointing to the boy in Werner's arms. "No…he will stay with me. For the time being…" Werner whispered staring down at the sliver hair boy. "What's his name?" Little Sara asked. "His name?" Werner asked him self. "Yes…you never told me what his name is." Little Sara said staring up toward her uncle.
She doesn't remember. Had she hit her head that hard? She had lost so many memories. Was this a sign? A sign of what would happen to her soon? It didn't matter. Even if…he did tell her his name. She wouldn't remember it for very long. Because…what had happened…she had short-temp memory. When it came to something; and people names…was one of those things. "Adam…Adam Kadmon…" Werner whispered staring down toward the boy. But…he wasn't lying. That was his name…even if; he looked like Elliot's dead son. When the boy does comes too. I would call him by the name Elliot son was called when he was still alive. Elliot…son was called Jet enduro. And this boy would be called by the same name.
"Adam…? That's weird…where have I heard that name before?" Little Sara asked her self. It wasn't like…she would remember. Because something happened to her before the Yggdrasil tragedy. It was also the same reason now Elliot's son passed away. "It's a popular name…you could have heard it anywhere." Werner quickly said. "Hmm…I guess so uncle." Little Sara said sounding confused. I was lying to her. She had seen that name Adam Kadmon on the tube he had been in many times. But…that was all before what happened.
She had a dangerous power sleeping inside of her. A power…so powerful it can't be controlled. We made a seal to hold back her power. The seal was placed on a new kind of Arms called ray of light. But…I worried…what could happen if that seal would break?! But…the others said I was worrying over nothing. But…soon my worries came into light on that one day. It was a normal day at Yggdrasil. Just like every other day. But just…this day…Elliot's son came to visit him. He partly wanted to see how Sara would react to another person close to her age. He was a bit older then her; Maybe by three years or so.
"Lady, can you come here?" Elliot asked her. "Sure…what is it Mr.Enduro?" little Sara asked staring up at Elliot Enduro. "I would like you to meet someone…Jet?" Elliot asked looking around. Werner laughed a bit. "I believe he is hiding behind that shelve." Werner said pointing toward the book shelve. "Jet get over here!" Elliot yelled. "D-Do I have to father?" Jet asked staying where he was hiding. "Yes, you have too!" Elliot yelled toward the boy. "…Well he sure is shy." Werner said with a laugh. "I-I am not!" Jet yelled stepping out from where he was hiding. "Oh? If you aren't then show me and come over here." Elliot said. "Fine!" Jet yelled as he hurried over to his father. "He is stubborn like someone I know…" Werner whispered to Elliot. Elliot quickly glared toward Werner. "Shut up…" Elliot whispered back to Werner.
"What?" Jet asked as he got over to his father. "I want you to meet someone…" Elliot said facing jet toward Sara. "AHHH!" Jet yelled stepping back a bit. "Why…is he screaming?" Little Sara asked looking confused. "Maybe…he just scared of girls, Sara." Werner said with a grin. "I AM NOT!" Jet yelled out of angrier.
This was the start of the problem. If only…If only I had said no to Elliot. About Jet meeting Sara; then maybe her power may have never gone out of control. Because…when Sara saw jet killed…that when her power broke free and when hey-wirer. This was another of my mistakes. And because of this…her memories had been lost. Many of them locked away with fear of what had happened right before her eyes. And the other memories not locked away…we sealed them away inside of Adam Kadmon. So this way…she would never remember what she had seen happen.
"Is this boot hill…Uncle Werner?" Little Sara asked seeing a farm town before them. "Yes…that's it." Werner quickly answered. But…she would never know. I would leave her in boot hill…where she would be safe. And this way…her and Adam would never have a reaction to one and another. For both of they're safely…they had to be kept apart. They would never feel the feeling of being draw to each other. And it was all for the best. But…if something did go off plans…if something did happen to the seal on Sara's arms. I made another seal…on Adam's left arm for safely reasons. But…I could only hope…I would never be needed.
"Are we heading inside town uncle?" little Sara asked. "Yes…one second." Werner said placing the silver hair boy on the ground. "…you're leaving Adam out here?" Little Sara asked. "Yes…I'm not staying there long…Sara." Werner whispered taking a hold of her hand. The tow headed into town. "Why?" Little Sara asked. "Because…I will not be very welcomed. Plus I shouldn't leave him by him self too long." Werner whispered as they headed up toward a big farm house. "Shouldn't leave who alone too long?" Little Sara asked looking puzzled. Werner looked toward the little girl. She had forgotten so quickly. It had kicked in again. But this time…it was a good thing. "No one…don't worry about it…" Werner said stopping in front of the big farm house. "This is where you will be living…" Werner whispered to the little girl. "Here? It's huge!" little Sara cried. "Hehe it will not look so big when you get a bit taller." Werner whispered as he knocked on the door. "Maybe…but who lives here?" little Sara asked as the door to the farm house slowly opened.
"Yes…how can I help?" A woman started to ask as she opened the door; but quickly stopped seeing Werner standing there. "Oh my god! Werner!" the woman cried as she threw her arms around him. "It's alright Shalte, it's really me." Werner whispered patting her back. "We we're so worried…your brother will be so happy to see you alive and well." Shalte cried. "As well as I can be." Werner said as the woman slowly let go of him. "Uncle Werner who is she?" A little girl's voice asked. The woman quickly looked down toward the child. A look of fear and horror quickly entered the women's eyes. "Oh…my god! Werner…y-you didn't…" the women cried quickly looking back at Werner. Werner didn't answer. "Then…this child really is…" Shalte whispered as tears started to run from her face. "Yes…she is…I need to leave her here…" Werner whispered. "You can't be serious! Just one look at her and all the villagers…!" shalte started to yell.
"Shalte? What with all the yelling? I about had Virginia down for her nap." Testa asked as he made his way down the stairs with a small child beside him. But Testa stopped dead in his tracks at the bottom of the stairs. "W-Werner!" Testa yelled. "Hello…there brother." Werner whispered calmly. "It's daddy!" little Virginia cried running up to Werner and hugging him. "…What brings you back here?" Testa asked as coldness entered his voice. "…Her…" Werner whispered looking to a child beside him. "…No wonder Shalte was yelling…" Testa whispered shaking his head a bit. "Virginia…can you take Sara upstairs with you and go play?" Werner asked looking down at his daughter. "Ok! Come on!" little Virginia cried taking hold of little Sara's hand and leading the way up stairs. The three adult made sure the children we're gone before starting up talking again.
"I have never really questioned anything…you have done Werner…" Testa started to say. "I know…" Werner whispered. "But…this. How could you?! Do you have no shame?!" Testa yelled. "Yes…I do. I shouldn't have done this. I know that! But…It's too late now to be thinking that way anymore!" Werner pointed out. "Yes…but she's an artificial human…even if she's only a child! And the way she looks! She looks too much like Ekatrina!" Shalte cried. "I-I know…" Werner whispered with a sigh. "She maybe have been Ekatrina's final wish. To have another child…but this way just isn't human…how do we know the child…will stay claim as she grows up?" Testa asked. "Testa!" Shalte cried. "It's true dear and you know it. We can't keep something so dangerous around are Virginia! Or have you forgotten about your first daughter Werner?" Testa was against the whole idea of little Sara staying here. But I couldn't blame him. What kind of a father was I? Leaving now…both of my daughters in there hands.
"No…I didn't forget. But…my hands have too much blood over them to care for them any longer. This wasn't something I wanted to do. But…it isn't my…change any longer. I have no right to be around them." Werner whispered fixing his hat. "….your mistakes your saying? And how will you make it up to Ekatrina? For not being there when she was on her death bed?" Testa asked. "Testa! Stop! Don't even go there!" Shalte cried. "No…It's alright Shalte. I can never make that up to her. That's why I will live with my mistakes. And…try somehow to make it up to Sara…" Werner whispered starting toward the door. "That's it? Not even going to say goodbye to them?" Testa asked. "No…I have no right too. And more then likely…you guys will never see me again…" Werner whispered. But it was true. Because…I was dead; this body wasn't even real. I was just a spirit of the past. A spirit with mistakes I wanted to fix. Or try to fix them that was.
"Werner…please don't talk like that! Virginia couldn't bear it losing her mother! If she lost you as well…I don't know what she would do!" Shalte cried toward Werner. "She's better off without a father like me…as is Sara…" Werner whispered stopping in front of the door. "But…don't tell her. Don't tell her…about whom she really is…" Werner whispered quietly. "She wouldn't able to take it…would she?" Testa asked. "Yes…she wouldn't able too…and give this to her on her 10th birthday…" Werner said throwing an arm to Testa. "An arms?" Testa asked. "With this…she will never go out of control…" Werner whispered as he slowly opened the front door. "You thought of everything didn't you?" Testa asked. "No…I didn't think of her feelings before she was born…that's why I failed as a father." Werner whispered as he stepped outside and didn't look back.
End of flash back
I wonder…if he was in pain. I wonder why I just remembered this now. Is it because I know the truth about my self now? Yeah…that has to be it. I thought as I slowly opened my eyes. "Sara!" I heard jet yelled at me. "W-What?!" I asked seeing the silver hair boy staring down at me with angry eyes. "…you finally answered." Jet growled as he looked away. "What do you mean by finally answered?" I asked feeling lost. "You have been out of it for close to a half of an hour." Jet pointed out. "Oh…?" I asked as I lay down. "That's all you have to say to that?" Jet asked with angry in his voice. "What do you want me to say?" I asked as I closed my eyes. Jet didn't answer me. Maybe…remembering some pushed back memories put me into somewhat of an out of it state. Well…I didn't know any other way to really put it.
Maybe…she had just fallen asleep for a bit. I mean…her eyes had been closed. But…falling asleep sitting up? Something didn't sound right there. But then again…she was still recovering from shock. So…maybe falling asleep sitting up wasn't too far off after all. She was lying down would she not answer for a bit again? "Sara?" I asked. She didn't answer. She looked so peaceful just laying there and breathing in and out softly. "…" I closed my eyes tightly. Don't even think about it. I heard my self…warn my self. She would kill me if I tried anything. I slowly opened my eyes staring toward her. I felt blush quickly come over my face. Before I knew it…I felt my face slowly moving toward her. But before I knew what I was doing…I felt my lips press against her.
I think I was out of it for a bit again. But when I come too…I felt something pressing against my lip. But…what was I had no idea. I slowly opened my eyes to take a look; and to my surprise…I found jet pressing his lips against mine. W-wait…he was kissing me?! What the hell has gotten into him? I couldn't help but wonder. But soon those wonders left me as I felt my eyes slowly close again. I was…letting him get away with this. But…why was I? I had no idea. But soon I felt him break the kiss. Then I opened my eyes to question him. But…the look I saw in his eyes…he knew what he had been doing. "Jet? What has gotten into you?" I asked feeling unsure about the whole thing. Jet didn't answer me as he when back in for another kiss. But this time…his lips felt a lot softer. Had something…happened to him when I had been out? He looked like Jet…but he didn't act like him.
I felt my eyes grow heavy as they slowly closed again. Why…wasn't I fighting him off? This wasn't like me at all. I…didn't feel like my self. But…at the same time…I didn't really mind…him kissing me for some reason. D-Did I like it? I can't really say. This was the first time…I had really been kissed. So…I really felt unsure about the whole thing. But…why was my heart beating so fast…if I felt unsure?
I didn't hear it…but the front door of gallows house's opened then quickly closed. "Ms. Sara!" Shane yelled from the bottom of the stairs. But he heard no answer. "Huh…maybe…she didn't hear me." Shane whispered to him self. Then he slowly nodded to him self making his way up the stairs. Shane took a look around but didn't see her. "Hmm…maybe she's resting on a bed…but I really should apologies to her…" Shane whispered to him self as he made his way toward the bed area. "Ms…Sara?" Shane called again but still got no answer. Maybe…she was really resting but he had to check to be sure. He slowly made his way around a counter. Then he saw her. "Oh Ms. Sara! There you are! I just came to say…S-sorry?" Shane started to say but quickly took a step back.
I quickly pushed jet off hearing Shane's voice. "S-Shane…!" I yelled feeling my face turn deep red. "W-what?!" Jet yelled quickly opening his eyes looking toward the shock boy. "I-I'm sorry…I-I didn't mean to inter up anything…" Shane cried. "In-Inter up?" jet asked quickly looking toward me. I watched his face turn deep red as well. "y-You aren't! I was just leaving!" Jet yelled quickly hurrying out of the house as fast as he could. "Jet?" Shane asked as we heard the front door quickly close behind him. I felt a sweat drop roll down the back of my head. Now…that was the jet I knew. "I'm sorry Ms. Sara…I didn't mean to inter up anything…" Shane cried sounding worried he did something wrong. "D-Don't worry about it…" I said waving my hands in front of my self. I don't really know…what was really going on to start with. But something had changed Jet big time.
I quickly kicked my self as soon as I got outside. "What the hell…came over me?!" I asked yelling at my self. Why-Why the hell had I just gone and done that? I mean…that as stupid as telling her to her face what I feel toward her! I don't want her to know! Because…for one she wouldn't believe me. And two…she would think that I'm on crack or something. I felt my self growl as I sat down on the huge rock in the middle of the village. "I'm a real idiot today…" I whispered under my breath. Today everything wasn't going my way; even more so then normal. I felt so angry with my self. But I didn't really know what to do. Or how to…explain to her the reason for what I did. It wasn't like I could tell her the truth anyways.
"How is she?" A man voiced asked from behind me. That voice…I thought as I quickly turned to take a look. But…It couldn't be him…right? But…it was clearly him. I found Werner standing there. "Do you even have any right to ask something as that?" I asked glaring toward him. "How is she?" he asked again ignoring my question. "How is she? How the hell do you think she is?! She maybe awake…and she maybe dealing with it; but she's far from being okay!" I yelled out of angry as I turned away from him. "As I thought…she would be…" Werner whispered as I heard him sit down on the rock as well. "If that's the only reason you came…then leave." I whispered to him. "It isn't." Werner whispered back as he fixed his hat. He had another reason for being here? "What do you want now?" I asked feeling my angry slowly grow. "…Do not get too close to her Jet. For your own safely as well as her." Werner warned me.
"Why would I want to be close to her to right with?" I asked even if I knew why I wanted to be. "You're too easy to read jet. You're like an open book. But you have some hidden pages no one can see as well." Werner whispered shaking his head a bit. "What the hell are you blabbing about?" I asked feeling some sweat roll down my face. "What am I blabbing about? Oh…I believe you know. Because the reason you want to get close to her…is because you love her…right?" Werner asked.
I quickly turned to look at him. "What the hell would you know?" I started to ask. But Found Werner missing. "W-Werner? Old man?" I asked looking around the area. It-It happened again…he just disappeared into thin air! But…how the hell could he know…how I felt toward Sara? And why…did he say not to get close to her…? For my own safely…as well as her? What the hell does that mean?
Soon Shane left the house and headed back to the temple where his grand mother was waiting. I found my self alone again. Some of my memories I had forgot had returned. And I finally could remember the boy's full name who was inside that tube in that dream. "Adam…Adam Kadmon…" I whispered under my breath. The name was so…I don't know. But I knew that name well for some reason. Now…If only I could remember how his face looked…then I would be getting somewhere.
Maybe…this boy Adam was born in Yggdrasil; just as I was. So me and him did share something. That something being artificial humans.
