Chapter 17

The Decision

Meanwhile Omi, Kimiko, and Clay weren't having very much luck in finding the Locket of Lost Souls. Kimiko sighed as she sat down on a tree stump and said, "I'm tired."

"Tired, how can you be tired? We just rested about five minutes ago." Omi said.

Kimiko rolled her eyes and said, "Actually Omi the last time we rested was about twenty minutes ago, and I'm tired because we keep walking in circles."

"We are not as you say "walking in circles". I know exactly were we are." Omi said.

"No, you don't." Kimiko protested, "Why don't you just admit it, we're lost."

"Because we are not."

"What are you talking about? We so are."

"We aren't"

"We are."

"We aren't"

"We are."

"We…" Omi started to say before Clay interrupted him.

"You know we aren't going to find this locket thing if you two keep fighting. So how about we get up and start looking for it."

"Ok." Kimiko said.

"Oh yes, that sounds like a most wondrous idea."

"Great, now come on." Kimiko stood up and started to walk again to the right. Clay and Omi followed her.

After about ten minutes of mindless walking Kimiko broke the silence and said, "Hey guys, what do you think of Selina."

"What do you mean?" Clay asked.

"Well I was just thinking, can we really trust Selina? You remember the last time Selina was here. She lied to all of us and betrayed our trust."

"True, but it looks like she's changed." Clay commented.
"Yeah, but that's what it looked like last time too. How do we know that Selina isn't using us again?"

"I guess we just have to trust that she's changed and won't betray us again." Clay said.

Kimiko scoffed, "Trust. She betrayed us Clay and you're still willing to trust her."

"I agree with Kimiko. We can not let her use her us again just so that she will betray us."

"True, but I think that everyone deserves a second chance." Clay said.

"Oh yes, everyone must have one but Selina is not worthy of one." Omi said.

"Oh come on Omi just give Selina another chance, ok?"

"No, I will not. She is evil."

"Actually, I think Clay might have a point. Perhaps we should give Selina another chance."

Omi stared at Kimiko like she was mad and said, "And why should we give her one? What has she done to be worthy of it anyway?" Omi asked.

Kimiko sighed and said, "We gave Raimundo another chance after he turned to the Heylin side."

"Yes, but that was a difference between the two." Omi said.

Kimiko groaned before saying, "Look Omi everyone deserves a second chance. Selina may be using us again but that doesn't mean that she is. She could have truly genuinely changed."

"Yeah, I think that Selina has changed. Even if she hasn't we should still give her another chance." Clay said.

"But…" Omi said.

"But what Omi? We need to give her a second chance, ok?" Kimiko said.

Omi sighed but mumbled, "Ok."

"Great!" Exclaimed Kimiko, "So we all agree that we'll trust Selina and give her a second chance?"

"Yep." Said Clay.

"Ok." Omi said a little enthusiasm.

Selina brown eyes widened at what she saw in front of them. For she saw Hannibal was on Wuya's shoulder. But the most shocking thing she saw was that Wuya had her left hand on Raimundo's left shoulder, and in her right hand she held a knife positioned to his throat.

An uncomfortable silence had settled between the two of them until Wuya spoke snarling, "If you want your precious little boyfriend back alive, then you will give me that Shen Gong Wu."

"Ummm… What Shen Gong Wu." Selina asked trying to play innocent.

Wuya narrowed her eyes and said, "The one in your hand."

"Oh, this," Selina asked looking down at her hand, "I didn't realize that this was a Shen Gong Wu."

"Give that to me NOW or I will kill Raimundo." Wuya said drawing the knife closer to Raimundo's throat.

Selina bit down on the bottom of her lip trying to think of ways that she could stall Wuya before hopefully the monks came. Selina thought desperately for something that she could do. Finally, she thought that she should shake things up a bit. She looked straight into Wuya's eyes and said, "And what makes you think that I'm going to give up this Shen Gong Wu for a puny kid like Raimundo?"

Raimundo had a shocked expression on his face when he heard that and a million thoughts started to swirl around in his head, but the one at the top of his head was "Why?"

Wuya looked at Selina startled and said, "Do you really not care about what happens to Raimundo?"

"Of course I don't, why would I care about what happens to him."

"Well, I just thought that you would, considering how close you two seem."

"Close," Selina said laughing, "We aren't close I've just been using him so that I could get my hands on the this particular Shen Gong Wu."

"Really," Wuya said, "Well, then I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I disposed of this annoying brat then."

"No, not at all." Selina replied.

"Good, then I think I'll kill him now."

"Fine by me, just don't kill him too quickly."

"Don't worry I won't." Wuya said.

Selina heard a slight rustle in the bushes and smiled slightly.

"Good," replied Selina, "Oh and Wuya."

"Yes."

"Get your hands off my boyfriend. Thunder Ball Shock!"

"Wudai Crater Earth!"

"Wudai Mars Fire!"

"Wudai Neptune Water!"

Wuya gasped as the four attacks came towards her and combined into one.
