Me: Welcome back my beloved fans and welcome to the next chapter of The Past Bites!
Kalaa: Moon-chan! Help! We're being chased by a group of stalkers who don't know how to mind their own business and leave Melina alone!
Melina: I hate crowds.
Me: I always did hate paparazzi. DON'T WORRY I'M COMING!
Azzuen: BladeofMoonlight does not own TMM or MMP.
Chapter 9
/Melina's P.O.V.
A crowd. Paparazzi. Melina had always hated them; they were the ultimate symbol of gossip and, in her option, the Seven Deadly Sins themselves because they were always sticking their noses where they didn't belong, poking into superstar's private life and publishing 'juicy updates' to the public.
Is my life some kind of joke to them?
Melina hated them. She hated them with a fiery passion, and she had to admit, given the chance, she'd kill every last one of them, just to keep their filthy hands and their desire to lean things that were none of their FREAKING business! It was HER LIFE-hers and her mothers, and these freaks of nature seemed to have nominated themselves to make it as miserable as possible. It was like being fugitives who had never been charged in the first place.
"This way!" Kalaa hissed, banking into the woods. Kaiyo, Melina and Azzuen followed right behind her, weaving in between trees and bushes. The crowd stopped at the treeline, as if debating whether to go in or not.
Melina scrambled into the treehouse first, followed by Azzuen, Kaiyo and finally Kalaa, who was making sure they hadn't been followed.
"What exactly happened?" Kaiyo asked.
"Mom recognized me." Azzuen replied quietly. "I freaked out. I grabbed Melina and ran for it, and in the process her hat came off." He looked at his friends. "Did...did you get the data?"
Kalaa wordlessly pulled a data stick out of her pocket. The silence remained unbroken as Kaiyo pulled a laptop out of a closet and booted it up.
Kalaa pushed the stick into the data port and looked at them. "When we read this, there's no telling what we'll learn. Regardless...our lives are never going to be the same again. Never. Are...are you guys sure about this?"
The only reply was a nod. "More than anything." They shared a nod, and then opened the file:
Project Mew Mew
/Mint's P.O.V.
Mint skidded to a halt outside the forest, where the crowd was breaking up. "Looks like Azzuen and Melina managed to shake them." She murmured to Zakuro.
"Good." Zakuro said softly. She shook her head. "If only things had happened differently..."
"As much as it may bite us," Mint whispered, "we can't change the past. What we can change is their future. Our family future..." She shook her head. "Do...do you think Azzuen will be mad at me?"
"He and Kalaa may very well still feel angry." Zakuro replied. "And if Melina finds out about my double life, she won't be too thrilled either. But we can't give up. We WILL get through to them..."
Mint nodded, and they entered the forest.
/Kalaa's P.O.V.
Kalaa stared at the information, dumbstruck. She couldn't believe what she was reading. It was so unbelievable.
"I-It's like the Twilight Zone!" Kaiyo gasped.
"No way." Melina whispered, strained.
"It's almost to crazy to be real." Azzuen said, softly, his eyes wide.
Kalaa closed her hands around her pendant. "Mommy..."
