Okay, I realized after I started writing this story that Bastian technically shouldn't be here because he stayed in the Dark World. But I'd forgotten that until I'd already posted some with him in it, so he's here now to stay.

Just thought I'd clear that up in case anyone had questions.

Chapter 8

Jaden's POV

Two days had passed since the Island Water fight, making today Tuesday. And guess what else was also likely to happen today? My parents would likely be on the island later.

And I really doubted me and Jacey would be on the island tomorrow, one way or another. (I'm really hoping I'll still be here though).

Right now we're all stuck in Crowler's class. He's gone back to just acting like I don't exist, which is perfectly fine with me. I'm pretty much acting like this class doesn't exist, so we're even.

I know Jacey is really worried about what might happen later. She knows as well as I do that our parents will be here by tonight. I don't know if she's worried for herself or for me though, or if she's just scared about confronting our father.

Heh, I feel like Luke Skywalker now! Except Jacey and I aren't twins…

And our mother is still alive…

And our father isn't technically evil…

Oh well, too bad. It's close enough.

The bell rang, making me jump. How had time passed that quickly? I gathered my books without really paying attention to them and walked out of class. On to…what class do I have now?

This is why they should not change our schedule every day. It makes our lives that much more confusing. Or at least mine.

"You okay Sarge?" Hassleberry asked me. I looked at him and smiled.

"Just great! What class do we have now?" Several people sighed.

"We have gym next and then we get dinner," Syrus answered. Part of me wanted to groan, because I know I'm going to get hit in the forehead again (which is a nice blackish-blue shade, by the way). And the other part of me was excited. I could get out some frustration this way!

"Well, shall we?" Bastian asked. Scattered replies answered him and we began walking to gym.

Ms. Fontaine announced that we were going to play baseball today when we were all out of the locker rooms. Many of us smiled. A few groaned. I was among the ones smiling. I hope Dr. Crowler wasn't anywhere around here…I plan on hitting that ball so hard…

And of course, when I really want to bat, I'm out in the field first. The team I was on included Bastian, and we let him pitch, knowing he's a really good pitcher. Atticus was up to bat first and Bastian struck him out. Chazz followed and managed to foul a few before hitting a grounder to our shortstop, Jim (Shirley is at our bench).

It was so close a call (and because Bastian is our pitcher probably) Ms. Fontaine called him safe.

Oh yeah, if you're wondering, I'm in center field. Not much is coming my way.

Some random kids I don't know too well came up next. One of them was like Syrus (who's in right field, just so you know), meaning he was scared of the ball. He just swung at everything, even one's so clearly outside the catcher had to run to get them. He got out.

Chazz stole second and third while that kid was up to bat. We didn't even worry about him.

That is, we didn't until someone actually managed to hit Bastion's pitch all the way to the back of center field, just missing a homerun. I wasn't quite fast enough to catch it, but I was able to get it after one bounce, and I threw it in to my cut off real fast.

Chazz made it home, but somehow we managed to stop the guy who hit it at third, but just barely. Another random kid was up (I'm kind of surprised I don't know half of them by now). Bastian struck him out, and we changed sides.

I volunteered to bat first. Aster was pitching. Just because he's good at everything, I'm going to assume he's a good pitcher. And I was right. I didn't even see the first ball come by as a strike. So I just swung randomly and really hard on the next pitch, somehow managing to foul it up into the air. No one caught it, and I got ready to try again.

I needed to get some anger out, and right now, the best way to do that would be to hit that ball as if it's my dad's head. I smirked. That ball was dead.

Aster pitched again. I'm going to assume Yubel helped a little, because it seemed like the ball slowed down just a smidge so I could time my swing better. The ball crashed into the bat with a loud crack that echoed throughout the gym field. The vibrations of the bat vibrated all the way up my arm, but I'd already dropped the bat and ran for first base.

The ball hit the ground not far from Chazz in center field. I rounded first base and ran towards second. I chanced a quick glance over my shoulder to see the ball flying towards second, racing me there. I slid to second because that was the only way I was getting there without tripping over the bag. Surprisingly, not much dust clouded the air.

"Nice job," Atticus commented, throwing the ball into Aster. Atticus is the second base-man, in case you couldn't tell. I smiled as I tried to catch my breath. I started dusting myself off as well, noticing that now my leg is soar. Hmmm. I'll have to remember that sliding on the ground may hurt…

Gym was our last class for today. My team won 6-4! We kept discussing it as we walked to the cafeteria for dinner. Jacey joined us, managing to find a spot between me and Jesse. In the distance, a boat horn blew, but we were so used to it, none of us paid it any attention.

"I was definitely safe!" Chazz argued for fortieth time against Bastian.

"On the contrary, you were clearly out." Yeah, I know. Losing battle for Chazz, mainly because he probably doesn't know half of what Bastian's saying. Or maybe that's just me…

"I still can't believe Jaden didn't get that home-run he deserved," Atticus said.

"Don't remind me," I complained. I'd hit a ball that landed just inside the field, which by all means should have given me enough time to run all the way around the bases. But no. I just had to trip over nothing when running home. (I landed on my face by the way). This gave the other team enough time to throw the ball in and tag me out.

Cruel much? Very.

"I just think it's funny that even in a game where it's so hard to be hit in the face, Jaden found a way," Jesse said. I rolled my eyes.

"Jaden finds a way to get hit in the face with everything he does," Jacey said. Oh no. She wouldn't, would she? "You should have seen him when he was playing soccer."

Oh. Soccer. That's not as bad as I thought.

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Hey, I was a very good goalie!" I defended. Jesse had to stop walking he was laughing so hard. Jacey was also laughing after that.

"Let me guess Slacker, you blocked everything with your face?" Chazz asked. He had a rare smile on his face.

"Not everything," I said. "I did manage to get my hand in front of my face occasionally."

"Yes," Jacey started. "And then your hand was smashed into your face as well."

The others went into rounds of laughter again. I glared at my sister. She smiled back at me innocently.

"Hey, I could have told them about-" she didn't finish before I had my hand clamped over her mouth. Her eyes sparkled with mischief as we held eye contact. She knew she'd hit a sore spot.

"I think we should let her continue," Aster said. I glared at him. Jacey backed away from my hand.

"Oh, it's nothing really." She had to keep moving back as I tried to grab her again. "Jaden just found out the hard way that he shouldn't try to jump fences."

I glared at her. She smirked back. The others looked from one to the other. Jesse started cracking up, and the others soon followed.

"Well, something is sure amusing over here," a female voice said from behind me. I knew that voice, and so did Jacey. The playfulness on our faces vanished, replaced by fear. I swallowed and turned around to face them.

My mother and father stood there, his arm wrapped around her shoulders. Jacey grabbed onto my arm and I stood in front of her protectively. The laughter in the air was gone.

"Hello, Jaden, Jacey," my father said. He looked right at us. I couldn't see the man standing there. I could only see the devil who had wanted to kill me and my little sister. But I wasn't afraid anymore.

No, now I wanted revenge. I wanted to get back at him. I wanted to make this demon pay for what he had done!

End chapter

Well, definitely not how I thought I would end it I'll tell you that. But I like it. It sounds more like Jaden I think.

Please review people. If no one is reviewing then I don't think anyone is reading and it makes me feel like I'm wasting my time writing this.

Review please!
