Chapter 6


The Talk


"We-we can't be trapped! We'll die in here! We have no food, its cold in here, the only water we have is what's dripping over the walls. Oh my god we're going to die, oh my god, oh my god."

"WAR, GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!" Jawwie took a hold of War and shook him violently. "You freaking out is not going to help!"

War was breathing hard and he slid down onto the ground. Jawwie was at least glad there was a tiny bit of light in the cave. "Are you afraid of being trapped in small places or something?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Maybe, kind of, sort of, why?" War gasped.

Jawwie sighed. Of all the people to get stuck in a cave with it had to be with him…"We'll be fine, okay? Aklase and Npm will soon realize were missing and come looking for us."

"Yeah, sure. Right after they finish making kissy faces at each other." War rolled his eyes.

"Like you were with that Mazy girl?" Jawwie narrowed her eyes.

"I was not!...She just caught my attention." War mumbled.

"'War my name is hi'?" Jawwie laughed slightly.

"A slip of the tongue, shut up. You're just jealous."

"Jealous? Of what?" Jawwie glared.

"Of me liking another girl."

Jawwie scoffed. "Oh please, I would just think you could at least like a girl with more class after dating me."

"You got as much class as a rock, which in fact is what you are."

"I don't like to show my emotions." Jawwie began to clench her fists.

"And why is that? We were together! You were supposed to tell me everything."

"Like you did when you were making out with another girl behind my back?" Jawwie turned away.

War suddenly got quiet for a few minutes before muttering, "I told you I was sorry about that. That was a stupid thing to do. But we also agreed to not bring it up again."

"Like that makes it any better." Jawwie held two fingers in the corners of her eyes to keep back the tears. No tears. Even more so not over him.

War suddenly got up. "Maybe if you didn't hide everything you were feeling from me then I would have stayed loyal to you. It's just you with your own dark thoughts hidden under that hood you wear all the time-"

"SHUT UP!" Jawwie turned on him. "JUST SHUT UP! YOU WANT TO SEE AN EMOTION? WELL HERE IT IS, RAGE. IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT ME THEN YOU WOULD KNOW WHY I LIKE TO KEEP TO MYSELF. SO JUST SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME OR MY PAST." Jawwie's voice suddenly broke altogether and she turned to the other side of the cave, sliding down with her head against the wall facing away from him.

War stood in the spot, dumb struck. Even when she had found out he was cheating on her she never yelled at him like that.

He felt the urge to go over there and apology but he knew if he did she would murder him inside this cave, so he went to his side of the cave and sat down, waiting for her to calm down.

It figured that this talk had to wait until they were trapped inside a cave…


"Aklase? They've been gone for a long time. Shouldn't we look for them?" Npm asked in a worried tone.

Aklase nodded next to him. "I think your right. That girl could have been a mass murderer or something."

Npm let out a snicker. "Yeah, and unicorns don't exist. Come on."

They both got up and headed for the Kurasks cave.

"Hey, is that green rock moving?" Npm nodded toward a large green creature.

Aklase rolled her eyes "That's a Kurask. But it's only one so we should be ok."

Suddenly, two more joined it, and then two more.

Npm's eyes widened. "How about now?"

Aklase let out a gulp. "Now that is a little bit more intimidating."

"And they're blocking the cave." Npm whispered now that the creatures were glaring at them.

"Then we do what we do best." Aklase said with determination in her voice.

"Run and hide?" Npm asked hopefully.

Aklase shook her head. "Nope." She took out her leaf bladed sword. "We fight."

Npm sighed. "I was hoping you wouldn't say that." He took out his leaf bladed sword.

"ATTACK!"


Jawwie sighed. Why did they have to have this fight now? She was hoping the day they had it there was a whirlpool nearby she could throw him in. She could bash him with rocks, but what good would that do?

"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?"

"Shut up. Just shut up before I break your skull." Jawwie growled.

"You're talking to me! That's a good sign."

"Don't try to cover this up with that junk you call humor." Jawwie snarled with her head still against the wall.

"Look, I know you're mad but we have to find a way out of here. The cave goes deeper so maybe there's another way out." War urged.

"Great. Call me when you find it." Jawwie sighed.

"…Jawwie?"

"I told you to shut up."

"If we don't talk we'll just hate each other for the rest of our lives."

"Good."

"Would you do it for me?"

"I hope you're joking."

"Ok fine then at least do it for the prophecy."

Jawwie turned to face him. "What does the prophecy have to do with this?"

"If we don't get along, then we don't become The Four. And if we don't become The Four, millions of people will die." War replied from the other side of the cave.

"We tried to forget about this but as you can see that did a helpful load of nothing."

"Then maybe we should…"

"Should what?" Jawwie glared at him.

"The main problem was not knowing each other too well…and the thing I did. So how about we just talk about our pasts. Right here and now." War said hopefully.

Jawwie looked at the ground. "My past…is complicated. No one knows about it. Not even Aklase."

War dared to edge closer. "I won't judge. If I tell you about my past will you tell me about yours?"

Jawwie sighed, still looking at the ground. "As long as you never tell anybody what I tell you."

War raised an eyebrow but nodded. "I promise."

"Ok. You go first." Jawwie edged a little closer to him, her rage beginning to melt away.

"Ok. I was born outside of Varrock. I never knew my mom but from what I heard she was a really great person. My fath- Dark Wizard and my uncle, Harvey, took care of me. Harvey taught me how to make money by farming and making potions. Dark Wizard taught me how to cast dark spells and how to make a killing blow to the head. He started when I was a level 2. I-I remember Harvey running in and trying to stop him. He kept screaming that I was too young. That's when Dark Wizard knifed him across the face and left a scar."

Jawwie's eyes widened. "He did that in front of you?"

"He did a lot of things in front of me." War frowned.

"Go on." Jawwie urged.

"A couple of days before I turned into a level 3 I began noticing that my uncle wasn't around. I asked Dark Wizard where he was and he told he 'fell' off a tower in Varrock. Now I know he murdered him. The day I turned into a level 3 my father gave me my first spell book. By then other level 3's were telling me all these stories about Dark Wizard about him killing families and stealing. I didn't believe them until some guards came to take him away. Dark Wizard gave me a choice to follow him or to go out alone into the cold…I didn't go."

Jawwie sighed. "Is that why you're always trying to prove that you're the best? To prove to yourself and Dark Wizard you can make it on your own?"

War nodded. "Mostly. I never told anyone else who my real father was…in case they locked me up."

Jawwie made a face. "They can't do that! You're just his son. It's not your fault-"

"And they have a right to believe that I could grow up to be evil like Dark Wizard." War glared. "I know you'd bet any day that I'm going to grow up to be like him."

Jawwie's eyes flashed. "That's not-!"

"You know what," War interrupted, "let's just stop before this turns into another argument."

"Fine…I guess it's my turn isn't it?"

War narrowed his eyes. "That was the deal."

Jawwie breathed deeply and let out a long breath. "Ok…but it's a long story…"


~To be continued~


Sorry for this chapter being cut a little short, I plan to make Jawwie's story pretty long. Also, for those of you who read the original, Alaska's Destiny, You would know that there were three chapters that were titled Alaska's Secret, Npm's Secret, and War's Secret. The reason why I didn't include a Jawwie's Secret is because I couldn't think of anything…now I have. So next chapter will be 'Jawwie's Secret'. :D R&R!

P.S. Sorry for all the drama in this chapter.
