Author's Note. Well finally we are near the end. This chapter is going to be a bit longer because I am going to try several POV's this time. I may have a little bit of Vaughn's POV at the beginning of this chapter. I thought of this idea because it would be simple to see if Vaughn is right for being anti-social because of his semi-troubled past. I would like to give him a reason to change with another part of the series.
Vaughn's Origins Chapter 4
The wondering question
Vaughn's POV
~In his mind~
I am still in Forget-Me-Not Valley. I contacted Mirabelle. She said that it might be okay if I farm that farm I found and bought here. She thinks a new start somewhere else might help me with my future and to also become better with people. I will just have to wait till I am 21. As long as I stay in contact with them it will be okay.
As I lay here I start to wonder what others have thought of me so far. Will they even miss me? I shouldn't really ponder these serious types of questions, but I still can't help myself. Takakura works at a construction place in the city so he is okay with waiting. He still hasn't had the chance to talk to his boss about it yet. I find it easy to talk to him because we are similar in many ways.
Tomorrow I return back to the city then back home. I am going to be glad to be there, but at the same time I highly anticipate the time I come back. Forget-Me-Not Valley is a quiet and peaceful place. Not many people live here in Forget-Me-Not Valley so there isn't many to talk to. I like that because then I can have peace to think to myself without the annoyance of talkative others.
Mirabelle and Julia aren't much of an annoyance, but then again they are my only family. So, I guess being able to talk to them doesn't really count. That is why I am grateful to have met Takakura that day at the bar. Not only did I gain a possible new start somewhere new, but I also gained a friend, and it is a friend who I could talk to and trust. I think I owed him an explanation as to why I was contacting my aunt, but he said that's okay.
I told him anyways. I told him of my past and how I wanted to help Mirabelle by doing this. He didn't seem to mind and said that it was okay about Mirabelle and that he would wait. He also said that sometimes people get nosy about where others had come from, but he promised that when we farmed he wouldn't reveal too much about me. When he told me that I gained something I hadn't felt in a long time. This feeling was hope. I started to think that it wouldn't hurt to make meager conversations with others, only as long as they earned my trust and also only when necessary with strangers.
~back to the normal world~
~The Islands~
Mirabelle's POV
Journal entry number 2
Two days ago I got a letter from Vaughn. It seems he found a friend and a farm. He asked me if I thought it was a good idea to start one there and send each other supplies, plus gain the ability to have more money. It was in a place called Forget-Me-Not Valley. It seems that they land there was okay and it was a great place to have animals.
There was also the convenient location it was up the mountain from Forget-Me-Not Valley was the city formerly known as Mineral Town then down a road from there were Flowerbud City and the HomeLand. In the letter, Vaughn sounded so hopeful I couldn't refuse. It seemed better for him as long as he waited till he was older. I told him to wait until he was 21 and to keep in contact with us after that.
The next day I got the reply. He was okay with that. I was glad I knew that it would be best if he was a bit more mature. He agreed to help out with the animals and learn about owning a farm with animals, as well as still keeping up the shop in the city. It seemed as though the old owner had left some crops which he sold so he could return.
I know that in four years' time that I was going to miss him when he would be gone, but I know that it seemed best. Here on the island we don't make much because after a few of the others sunk there aren't as many people now. There in Forget-Me-Not Valley would be more people because of the location. We seem to do better because of Vaughn's place, but the money needed to take a boat there would balance out what we make eventually. I just know that I told Julia about it and no one else. I just hope that I made the right decision.
~end of journal entry~
Julia's POV
Mom told me that Vaughn had found a farm stead and that he would be going there in four years' time. I know that maybe not many would miss him, but only because he so rude and quiet and a bit cold to others. Only I and my mom know the true side of him that he keeps hidden. It is a side of him that looks like a hurt individual that is alone, but awfully kind.
He just doesn't show it too others now and didn't get too much of a chance to show it before he was told about his past. I know Mom thought it was best that he was told about it. "It is better to tell the truth then to keep secrets or lie to others especially when that other person also happens to be a family member and/or someone you care about" that was for reasoning for it as she told me.
I just know that after that he changed a little bit towards others. I guess I could understand why though. I mean who wouldn't want to trust others once they learn about a huge hurt that they endured, but didn't get to experience it till years later and couldn't even remember the event of the hurt until he was told about it. He couldn't ask the people who hurt him why did they do it or what were they thinking, because they are either dead or long forgotten.
I just know that was the last time according to my mom that she had heard from her, but from the tone of the letter that my mom showed me it sounded as if he was about to give up her life and put the child into better hands. Whatever the case I'm sure it is definitely not best to dwell on the past and to look towards tomorrow.
I just know that Vaughn's letter did seem like he was really hopeful which we hadn't seen him like that in a long time. He definitely was a lot happier as a child when we were both growing up. I am sure that I will know how things are when its time.
~end Chapter~
Okay people it is finally a longer chapter. I did this not only because it about wraps things up, but it also uses two other POVs. Mirabelle was the one we started with in the first chapter. I almost thought of ending it there but I couldn't seem to find an answer to the question Vaughn was asking without it hurting him more when he would find out. Then it hit me that I hadn't yet included Julia into the picture. She the only one who really is close to Vaughn and plus she is a lot friendlier with others so she would know the answer. The epilogue will be up soon. Sorry for long update again
