Lioness called Rachel to tell her what was going on.
«It's Rachel Logan,» Rachel said when she pick up the phone.
Lioness: Heey, Rachel. It's Lioness.
Rachel: Heey, lucky. What have you been doing for the last four day?
Lioness: I'll tell you all about it when I get home.
«You're coming home?» Rachel had a louder voice,
she didn't understand what Lioness ment to tell her.
Lioness: I am, but I was wondering if you wanted to come and live with us at the Aquarium, it a lot rooms, and Axel didn't want me to be alone when I got back.
Rachel: That will be awsome. By the way, did you see Hawk, Shark and King?
Lioness: I didn't, D'oh. Don't tell me that they left to Hong-Kong.
Rachel: Well, then I'm not gonna tell you, but I'm not telling you that they didn't.
Rachel got a few thing, and then she took the bus to the Aquarium. Lioness came a few minutes after, when she landed her gear, Rachel came running over to her, and gave her a hug.
«What happend? Lioness,» Rachel asked.
Lioness: They didn't allwo us to be together, so I left.
Rachel: What about Axel?
Lioness: His staying at the Jo-Lan tempel, he's a Chosen One too.
Rachel: Aww, I'm sorry Lioness. Come on, lets go inside, and I can make a cup of coffee to you, or enything else you want.
Lioness: Thanks, Rachel. But I just wanna talk to you tonight. When did the guys left??
«I guess about an hour ago.» Rachel answered.
Lioness, and Rachel went inside. And Rachel made a cup of tea for Lioness, they where sitting in the living room. Lioness had finally stoped to cry, but she was still sad.
«So, what happend in Hong-Kong?» Rachel asked.
Lioness: When I got there I met a old man named Ji, and two girls named Haylie, and Raxiki. They were Chosen Ones. Like me.
Rachel: What's a Chosen One?
«They're the people that ment to save Jo-Lan, Axel is one. But nobody told me that before I was on my way out.» Lioness started,
but Rachel cut her off, and said: Maybe they just said that for making you stay.
«You right, maybe they did. Well Master Ji told me, and Axel when he walked me out. That Axel also was a Chosen One. And that Haylie, and Raxiki was there to make a sacrifice, and after I got there: I saw Sebastian, Alxandra, and Axel came there. So I hide for 3 days. Then I told Axel I where there.
First he got mad, but then I started to cry, and he layed his arms around me. Then Raxiki, and Haylie start to give comments, but Ji stoped them very fast. Then we got some thing to eat, but ther was no seat for me, so I took the seat on Axel lap, and before none of us said a word: A guy came, lifted me up, sat me down on his chair, and carried me, and the chair over to Axel. Then he left.» Lioness stoped for some air.
Rachel: Well that was strange, do you know who he was?
Lioness: I know his name: Jake, he had black hair, and so deep brown eyes. Rachel: Was he cute? Lioness: To answere that: yes, he was. But I'm still staying with Axel, well only for four years. «What you mean only four years??» Rachel asked. Lioness: He asked me if I was going to wait for him, since I were leaving.
«And what did you anwere?» Rachel had a lot of questions, and Lioness was the only one who could answere them. «I said that I'll give him 3 years to visit me, and if he didn't call, or send me an e-mail it's over.» Lioness said with a sad voice. «I understand, you're not the only one who had done that.» Rachel said, trying to make Lioness feel better. Lioness: I guess, would you do the same with Shark if you been in the same situation? Rachel: Yes, because I really love him. Lioness, you did the right thing. «I had sex with him before I left.» Lioness said with a low voice. «YOU DID WHAT?!» Rachel yelled that her. «I can't belive it, What if you get pregnant!! What the hell do you do then??!! Lioness: I don't know!!! She started to cry, she knew, maybe she already was pregnant, what was shw going to do, only time wound show her.
Lioness went to bed, with tears in her eyes, she didn't feel ill, she was afraid she maybe was pregnant, but she was going to make it, with, or without Axel. Rachel: You can do it, Lioness. Rachel whispered when Lioness walked out of the room. She had to, not only for her, but if she was pregnant, she had to do it for the baby too. Lioness felt alone when she got to bed, even last night she lied next to some one.
At the same time in Hong-Kong. Axel was sitting in the stairs of the tempel, he was thinking about Lioness, the tears she had in her eyes. When she got on her gear. Axel: Why, why didn't they let us be together? He asked himself. Then Sebastian came over to him, and asked: Are you okay? «No, I miss her. I want to visit her, now.» Axel answered. Sebastian: You can't, and you know that. A little while after Alexandra came by, and took a seat next to him. «Honey, she has only been gone for an hour or so. You can visit her in a month.» said Alexandra.
Later that night Axel went out, he went down to the airport and got the A115. He where going back to Lioness, just for one day.
When he got there the light were off, he went inside and walked right into his room. He were thinking maybe Lioness were sleeping in his bed since they were apart. He opend the door, nobody there. The room were just like it was when Axel left it. He went into Sharks room, there was Rachel sleeping. Axel ran over to Rachel and pulled her up to himself and yelled: Where's Lioness? Rachel: What? She's asleep in your room. «No she's not, she isn't there.» he yelled at her. Rachel: Well then I don't know, she's hidding. I swear: I don't know where she is. Axel left out the door, and went to the airport, they call her name up, but she hadn't take the plane, she was still in the contry. But Axel tought maybe she went back to Hong-Kong, but she was no where to find.
Axel: Where are you Lion? He said when he were flying back to Hong-kong. He'd call his mother and asked if she has seen Lioness coming back. And after a few hours of looking around in the city he figured out that maybe she didn't wanted to be finded, maybe she needed some time off. Away from him, and everything else, he tryed to call her but she didn't pick up, she where like: Vanished. «I got to find her!» He where thinking when he walked up the stairs to the temple. «Maybe she don't wanna meet me enymore, maybe she's breaking up with me and can't face me.» Alexandra came running to meet him. Alexandra: Where have you been?! Axel: I'm not ten enymore, I went out looking for Lioness... and I didn't find her. Alexandra: You will. Axel: You don't know that! For all we know she can be hurt and is losing blood and is gonna die if we don't find her in about a day.
Alexandra: AXEL, LISTEN TO ME: I KNOW YOU'RE SCARED THAT SHE'S GONNA DIE, BUT MAYBE SHE NEEDS SOME TIME OFF, WOMENS NEEDS TIME OFF SOMETIMES!! Axel: BUT WHAT IF SHE'S NOT!? Alexandra: You need to trust her on this one.
Axel went to his room, and his mother went back to her room. She layed her head on Sebastians shoulder and he asked: What's going on, why did she took off like that? Alexandra: Only she knows, listen: I talked to Rachel and she told me that Lioness took off to the U.S.A. And that Lioness really do need some time off. She got it heard and need to loose it a little, and then she'll come back after four years. Then she'll be here if Axel don't find her and go and visit her.
Sebastian: But she can get married to some guy before that! Alexandra: How much to you belive that? How much do you really she's going to do that? Sebastian: I don't belive she's going to.
Lioness here sitting on a sofa with a cup of tea. «Are you okay, Cat?» a guy asked. Lioness: Yeah, I'm okay Antonio. Thanks for letting me live here. «You're my sister, I own it to you, It's kinda my job to watch over my pain in the ass little sister.» Antonio jokked. Lioness: Really funny, look: I'm sorry for making you picking me up in Landmark-city. I just needed some time off from everything and everyone. «Why?» Antonio asked, sitting next to his little sister. Lioness: Because I'm scared, scared for beeing alone. Even I got Rachel, you're my family, and I feel much safer with you.
Antonio: Oh Catalina, why don't I get you? Lioness: Because I grew up like a boy and then become a girl? «Yeah, that can be it.» he said. Lioness: So, how is everyone? Mom, Nanny, Alexander, Edvardo and Fernando? Antonio: They're all fine, Alexander is coming here next week, he's gonna live here for about two too four years while he's studing here in New York. Lioness: Well, I guess I'm out of here before that, I guess I'll be here for about a month if that okay for you. Antonio: Catalina, you're my sister, I'm not forzing you to get out early. Lioness huged her brother. Antonio: Take my bed and get some sleep, I'll wake you up in the moring about 8, okay? Lioness: okay, that's okay. Love you bro! «I love you too sis.» Antonio said, and fell asleep on the sofa.
