Tell me in the reviews if you want me to make a Shaneke story or not! (I'll do it anyways)
Also, this is the last chapter of the whole story, so… Yeah!
As the boat docked Concorba, Meilin had an uncertain feeling of whether or not to find Rollan. There was just this feeling in her spine she could not describe. There was something that told her Rollan wouldn't accept her anymore. Something that told her… She just didn't know what.
"Meilin, we're leaving in five minutes," called Lishay, as if she was her parent or something.
"I- I don't want to leave," whined Meilin. "I can't leave. What if Rollan already returned? What if he didn't want to come with us? What if-"
She was cut short by Lishay's words.
"What has gotten into you? This was your idea all along, and Rollan would definitely want to come with us. And what are you going to do if you don't come? Stay on the boat and go back to Greenhaven?"
Meilin sighed and nodded. It was her idea, anyway.
The whole road to the inner city was difficult to describe. Meilin had never been in such an unorderly city. There were beggars on the streets with pickpockets along the road. The disgusting smell of rotten food filled the air.
Growing up in Jano Rion, Meilin was use to tall structures, big buildings and beautiful nature. This city was the exact opposite of that. She had never seen such disaster. The Conquerors had never been in this city! Even after the Conquerors attacked Jano Rion, the city had never lost its inner beauty.
"I heard he's in that hotel," said Lishay, pointing in the direction of an enormous house.
They both started walking that way, to Rollan and to a mistake of the past.
-Rollan's P.O.V-
After everything that happened out in the wild, Rollan decided to stay put. He didn't want his mother trailing behind his back and saying sorry every five minutes, so he decided to stay at some hotel. Of course, the hotel wasn't where he was staying forever. He was planning to go back to Greenhaven in a week or so.
The conflict was something Rollan would never want to experience ever again. He killed his own father. I killed my own father.
A knock on his door startled him. He walked to the door and opened it.
"Rollan, there you are! We've been searching forever for you! I'm sorry, but can you come back to Greenhaven with Lishay and me? I- I'm sorry about everything I said. I- Rollan?"
"First off, who are you? Second, why are you at my door? Third, I can, I guess, come back to Greenhaven…"
The Zhongnese girl looked quite familiar, but Rollan couldn't place her in his head.
"Stop being an idiot, Rollan. You know who I am."
"I don't," replied Rollan.
"Yes, you do!" yelled the girl, kicking Rollan in the shin.
The gesture was also familiar, but again, he had no idea where those lost memories came from.
"Okay, you're just crazy and I will close my door, thank you."
Before he could do anything, the girl slammed her lips onto his. Rollan felt his heart pound.
"Meilin…" he started.
He didn't remember everything about her, but what he could say was it took time to remember and to get his memory back.
He felt like he was before that night with a wish in the sky.
It took memories to pass time, and it took time to get them back.
I hope you liked it! The official end of Aftershock!
