!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED BETAREADERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm back. Well, I never really left, but with my exams ans my job this summer, I really didn't have time to write new parts of this story, which is why this chapter will be short : it's made of what was already written. Well, at least, I had new ideas, and now I can see of this story will go. As soos as I will have time (well, and I'm working on a personal project aside, s o I will have to share it) I will go back to writing this story.
If I'm posting this chapter now, it's because I'm still receiving review of people who want the story updated. So, here we go, with a short chapter which will raise new interrogations. To the people who followed my speech until now, well, thank you. I'll try to update more frequently, but I can't guarantee anything. For now, just enjoy the chapter!!!
KP FF: After College...And Death: Sadness and Sorrow, sequel of After College (yes, Sapphicspencil doesn't own the idea anymore ^^)
Chapter 2:
She was standing in a corridor, waiting to be introduced to the Council of Elders. She was there since fifteen minutes already and it seemed she would be here longer than she had expected. Her mind began to wander, and before she could prevent it, memories surfaced.
Eighteen months ago:
Shego was a wreck. For almost two months, she had been looking for Kim, or her body…or anything about her in all the coasts and hospitals of the area. She was unable to sleep, and even when she managed, nightmares were harassing her. Every times she closed her eyes, she was seeing her fall, unable to stop it and she was seeing her body hitting the rocks just above the sea.
Little by little, she had lost her hopes. The day before, she had finally accepted the fact that Kim was no more here and she had spent the day and night crying.
Early in the morning, a thought had managed to go through the sadness overwhelming her mind:
They don't know…Nobody knows…Them…They deserve to know what happened.
Back to present:
A voice calling her name brought her back to the reality. It was time for her to report the results of her last mission.
She entered the room. As always, it was empty: they believed that to fully reach their mind's potential, they had to avoid any disturbances. The five masters were seated on the floor, and she sat in front of them.
-"Did you accomplish your mission, young one?" Ashtar, Master of the Knowledge, asked. He was considered as the head of the council, even if they were all equals.
-"Yes. I exchanged the objects, and they re now unable to do any harm to their people."
-"Good."
-"But why did you take so much time to come back? Shouldn't the mission have been easy for you?" Yu-Hao asked bitterly. He was the thief master.
Well, only by name now. Shego's mind snickered.
She didn't let that appear on her face, though. The old man was bitter and didn't like her – almost an understatement – but he was mainly fair toward her. She answered.
-"I had some private matters to take care of."
Maghlin, the Weapon's Master, exploded.
-"What did we say to you about your previous life? It's the past! You must leave it behind if you want to go forward."
Shego instinctively put a hand on her chocker. The same one Kim had put on her before dying. Her gaze filled with sorrow, she answered with an atone voice:
-"My past is with me, it will always be with me." Regaining her composure, she added: "And believe me, you don't want me forgetting my past."
-"Oh, and why that?" Mahglin mocked.
Shego smirked, but was cut before she could answer.
-"Enough, you two!" Andronys interrupted them. As the master of strategy, he had some power on all of them. "Shego, we already said we disapprove your attachment to your past. Don't force us to act."
-"Hey, maybe I'll consider that when you'll stop spying me!"
Ga'nhtara, the Master of Fight, spoke:
-"We never spied you."
Shego looked toward him, unconvinced.
-"Really? So why do I feel all these people observing me even when I'm alone here? And what about the one who followed me everywhere these last seven months?"
They all tilted and looked at each other. Ashtar spoke for all of them:
-"Yes, we observe you here, but we never ordered somebody to follow you."
-"It could be a problem", Andronys added with gravity. "Shego, you're dismissed. We will think about that and we will summon you later to tell you our conclusions."
She was in her room, lying on her bed, her hands crossed behind her head.
So, someone is following me. I wonder if it is because of them, or because of I am.
She sighed.
Well, I suppose next time, I could try to ask him myself.
She began to wonder who, if it was because it was her, was aware of the fact she was alive…Alive. It brought back to her sad memories. The memories of how she had broke to them the news of her death.
Eighteen moths ago:
She wasn't ready. She knew she would never be ready, but she had to do that. It had to be her. She had left her trademark catsuit, and she had put aside her revealing clothes. She was just wearing black pants and a long-sleeved black blouse. She had combed her hair and tied it in a ponytail.
She reached the door and stopped. To action the bell seemed to be an effort she couldn't do.
Breath. You don't have the choice. It was your fault. You're responsible.
How's that? Her mind inquired.
I could have grasped her and saved her. I could have asked her to tell me why she was so sad. I could just have kidnapped her, or I could have refused the contest, or I could have…
But you didn't.
No.
So, stop resisting and do it. You know she is dead. They don't know, and they are looking for her, waiting for her.
Ding-Dong. The bell rung.
Well, one last thing: I really want some feedback on the title of the sequel…I had difficulty to find one, and I settled for this one, but…well, I'm not too sure, so if you could give me your two cent on it…
