"Cye?" Sage asked slowly, glancing around.
"I don't need this." Cye said, as he threw a white shirt out of his room, it landed before Sage's feet.
"Um..." Sage said then, as he glanced to the shirt before himself.
"This either." Cye said, as he tossed a book out now.
"Okay, watch where you are throwing things." Sage replied.
"Not my fault your in the doorway." Cye mumbled.
"Are you planning on getting rid of all your stuff?" Sage then asked.
"Book, mine! I claim it." Rowen said, as he took the book and ran off.
"Okay then..." Sage replied.
"I don't need this either." Cye replied, as he threw out a small rock.
"I am sure Kento would like that." Sage mumbled, as he stepped over the pipe of things Cye already tossed out of his room.
"I don't even know why I had that." Cye then said.
"Need help?" Sage asked, looking to Cye.
"No, I'm good." Cye replied.
"Okay." Sage said, as he shrugged.
"Oh, don't need this either." Cye replied, tossing out a gum wrapper.
"I am beginning to think that you are making a mess." Sage pointed out.
"I need this though." Cye pointed out, as he gently nuzzled the shell he took out of his closet next.
"I see that." Sage replied, giving a sigh.
"You know, you can go sit over there." Cye said, as he pointed toward a chair in the corner.
"Uh huh." Sage soon said, before he went over to the chair and poked it.
"I don't need this though." Cye replied, as he tossed out a small ball.
"You don't want this chair either huh?" Sage then asked him.
"Nope, you can have it." Cye answered.
"I don't want it." Sage said slowly.
"Oh, I am keeping this book though." Cye replied, as he held the book.
"What kind of book is that?" Sage asked.
"Its about this boy who meets with a mermaid, its lovely." Cye pointed out.
"Oh, I see..." Sage soon said, though he quite found that interesting.
"Okay, that's it. There, two things I am taking." Cye soon replied.
"But... but..." Sage then tried to object.
"You want me to read you the story?" Cye asked now.
Sage's heart pounded when Cye asked him this, was he serious? Sage blushed, before he gave a nod toward him, he wanted to know what happens in it. Cye gave a little smile, as he then plopped the book onto his lap. Sage got off the chair though, to sit closer to Cye, so he can be near him. Well, Mia told him he had to find out on his own, whatever that was. (by the way, heading into the book Cye's reading to warn all of you.)
"Early in the morning the eight year old boy named Jimmy woke up and decided to take a stroll down to the beach. Jimmy never liked the beach, since he was afraid of drowning, it was a long story and reason for that. Jimmy said bye to his mother and told her where he was going. She told him to be back before it gets dark. Jimmy soon left the house, as he smiled along the way. Soon a kid came over to Jimmy." Cye replied, as he looked to Sage a bit.
"Interesting." Sage replied.
"Well, the kid picked on Jimmy a lot. Jimmy didn't like the other kid very much, so he just punched the kid's face, before running off. Jimmy then finally made it down to the docks where the boats were. Jimmy looked to the boats, there was one that was swaying back and forth, all the others were standing still. So Jimmy decided to glance at it more." Cye then smiled.
"Does this story got a point?" Sage asked.
"Yeah, hold on." Cye then said.
"Okay." Sage soon said, though he noticed that Cye seemed happy reading it.
"Jimmy thought he saw a tail in the water, no... Jimmy thought. Jimmy glanced again, but he could of sworn he saw it again. So this time, Jimmy jumped into the water off from the dock mind you. Jimmy panicked though, as he tried his best not to drown. The mermaid noticed this, as she swam toward the boy and picked him up and placed him onto the dock, where he came from. Jimmy thought that was neat and wanted to visit her everyday." Cye said then, as he nudged Sage a bit.
"Huh, what?" Sage asked, wondering what Cye was trying to tell him.
"But... the next day Jimmy went down to the dock to see the mermaid, she was no longer there. He didn't know why, so Jimmy kept going down each day, but she was still not found. Jimmy never knew that the mermaid came on land and lost her tail, she was now a human. Sadly... she died by the fifth day out of water." Cye soon looked down, as he closed the book.
"That ends sad..." Sage pointed out.
"I know it does, but I only like because of the water and the mermaid." Cye pointed out then.
"Well, you do love water." Sage replied, rubbing the back of his head.
"You want to know something?" Cye asked.
"Sure." Sage quickly answered, as he looked toward him.
"I fell in love with this women... she didn't want to be with me though. She wanted to be with another man, so she left me. I was in pain after she had." Cye said slowly.
"Yeah, love is painful road." Sage replied, since he knew that too well.
"Well, I better be going." Cye pointed out, as he stood up, still holding the book in his hands.
"So... you don't want to take anything else with you?" Sage soon asked him.
"Nope." Cye replied, as he glanced around his room a bit.
"Oh..." Sage said, as he sighed now.
"Leaving already?" Rowen asked Cye, as Cye stepped out of his room.
"Yeah, Rowen. This time for good." Cye told him.
"Okay, well we will miss you." Rowen pointed out.
"Don't ask..." Sage soon said, as he glanced at the floor, he didn't want Cye to leave at all.
"There's a rock in this pile, Kento." Rowen explained.
"I thought he was outside." Cye said, as he shook his head.
"Right." Rowen replied, as he ran off toward the mansion door.
Sage sighed more, he wanted to talk more to Cye, just them two. Wait, didn't they kind of do so in Cye's room? Sage blushed a bit, as he didn't know if that counted as really talking. Cye waved toward Mia, Beth, Ryo and even Sage. Sage lowered his head, as he kicked the ground a bit, then headed toward his own room.
"So you found out?" Mia asked Sage.
"Yeah... think he only loves women." Sage whispered.
"I told you." Mia pointed out.
"Yeah... I'll be in my room." Sage said in a low voice, before he went into his room.
Sage sighed softly, as he blinked now, his pillow was on his bed. Who was in his room? Sage glanced about, though he saw no one in it, maybe it was that Kim girl? Sage sighed again, as he laid flat onto his stomach on his bed. Sage soon burst out in tears, but that was because he really loved Cye and he didn't know why, or why his back sometimes hurt him either. Maybe he should get himself checked out, perhaps something was wrong with him.
"You don't need to cry." Cye replied.
"Why... why are you in my room?" Sage asked, as he quickly brushed his tears away.
"Mia said you probably would want to say bye too me." Cye answered him.
"She did?" Sage asked slowly.
"Yeah." Cye replied, as he glanced over toward him.
"Sorry for you seeing me like this." Sage soon said, as he got off his stomach and sat onto his bed instead.
"Its fine, I cry too..." Cye pointed out.
"Yeah..." Sage replied, since he was the one who found Cye crying.
"You want something of mine?" Cye asked.
"Not at all." Sage told him.
"Well... I gave the others something." Cye replied.
"Oh?" Sage asked, as he glanced to him.
"So, I thought I should give you something too." Cye pointed out.
"What are you going to give me?" Sage then asked.
"I don't know yet." Cye then laughed.
"Well... you can give me anything." Sage replied.
"I gave Kento that rock, I gave Rowen that book, though he did tell me he took it. I gave Mia my candle, not sure why but she always liked that." Cye nodded.
"But what of Ryo and Beth?" Sage asked now.
"Oh, I gave Ryo some matches, not sure why he liked those. Though Beth liked them too..." Cye then shrugged.
"Oh, so they both liked the same thing." Sage replied, as he rubbed his chin.
"Well..." Cye then said.
"I don't want anything of yours, but if you want to give me something go ahead." Sage replied.
"Maybe I should just go." Cye pointed out.
"I'll miss you." Sage whispered.
"You go find someone okay, Sage." Cye explained.
"I already have." Sage pointed out, then he covered his mouth.
"I don't know, I don't think you like her." Cye pointed out, before he walked out of Sage's room.
"I don't want to be with her." Sage then said.
"Remember to keep near the water." Cye said then, as he waved toward Sage.
"What does that mean?" Sage asked.
"I won't tell you, since you don't know." Cye replied, as he gave a light chuckle.
Sage huffed, though Cye then walked down the hallway to the mansion door. Well, Sage felt heartbroken now and Cye didn't even bother to ask who he wanted to be with. Sage shook his head, Mia was right... Cye only liked women, he liked the mermaid, he spoke of a women who hurt him. Sage then quickly got off his bed, wait a second... was Cye trying to hint at something? As Sage then got some stuff and ran toward the mansion door.
"No, no." Mia said toward Sage, as she blocked his path.
"But I got to go." Sage told her.
"Look, Cye already left. We don't need you to leave here too." Mia pointed out.
"I need to... I think..." Sage then said, as he tried to get past her.
It was no use, so Sage just sighed softly. Rowen grinned as he was reading that book he had picked up earlier, right Cye gave that to him. Kento seemed happy too, he put the small rock on top of the big rock and said they were buddies, he was so weird at times. Sage sighed more, as he bit his lip hard since his back gave him a sharp pain.
"I think I need to see a doctor..." Sage soon said, as he screamed in pain.
"What's wrong?" Mia asked him.
"I don't know, my back has been killing me lately, but this is the worst yet." Sage pointed out.
"Okay, I'll call one." Mia replied, as she got out of the way and went into her own room.
Sage glanced toward the doorway, should he leave or wait on a doctor? Sage really needed to be checked out though, besides why did he suddenly love Cye? Why did his back glow at times, why was his moods all mixed up for? Sage couldn't take it, but he knew he should wait on the doctor at least, so he returned to his own room. Though he whined in pain once he got back into his room, his back was hurting like crazy.
Mia then went into Sage's room, as he panted on the ground a bit. Mia wondered what was going on with him, especially lately. Sage has been acting odd, saying he had feelings for Cye out of the blue, when he too once only loved women, so Mia was stunned on that part. But now Sage seemed in pain from his back, just what was going on?
"Well the doctor is on the way. You should really sit on your bed." Mia told him.
"If I can make it." Sage replied through his pants.
Sage slowly got up as he went over to his bed, as he whined the whole time doing so. His body felt odd, his heart felt like it got turned to ice or something... Sage didn't know why. Sage sat on his bed, gripping his blankets tightly, as more pain ran through him from his back. Finally the doctor came into his room to check on him. Sage watched the doctor though out of fear, but why was he afraid for?
"I see." Doctor Millard explained, as he stared toward Sage.
"You see what?" Sage asked, as he gave a deep pant, still gripping the blankets.
"Can you take off your shirt?" Doctor Millard asked.
"What?" Sage asked, before he rubbed the back of his head with his other hand, duh he thought.
"Well." Doctor Millard replied, before he closed Sage's door.
"Fine." Sage explained, as he let go of the blankets and took his shirt off.
"Let's see." Doctor Millard replied as he glanced toward Sage's back.
Sage grumbled, though he glared toward the doctor when he had touched Sage's back. Okay, Sage didn't like his back being touched, he didn't know why. The doctor then glanced toward Sage, before he pressed his hands along Sage's backbone. Sage whined out, as he tried his best to stay calm, last thing he needed was to zap someone.
"Well... I found your problem." Doctor Millard explained.
"Is my back bad?" Sage asked now.
"Its not that." Doctor Millard soon said.
"Then what?" Sage asked quickly.
"It seems they have been sealed long ago." Doctor Millard explained more.
"Sealed? What has?" Sage asked, as he was confused.
"Your wings." Doctor Millard pointed out.
"My... wings?" Sage asked in shock.
"Yes, I can however unseal them." Doctor Millard told him.
"Wait... you can, I mean do that?" Sage asked.
"But you got to promise to hold still for me." Doctor Millard told him.
"Okay." Sage replied.
Sage then took a deep breath, as he sat still now. Sage no longer gave the doctor glares, after he had said this. Maybe Sage now trusted this man? Sage really didn't know, he then felt the doctor place his hands onto Sage's back again. Sage kept still though, as he wondered what the doctor was chanting back there. Though as soon as the doctor was done, Sage noticed purple wings on his back, as they flickered a bit. Sage smiled slowly, before he gently touched over them.
"Um, thank you." Sage replied.
"No problem, but you should keep them hidden just in case." Doctor Millard explained.
"Alright, how do I hide them?" Sage asked, since he never knew he even had wings.
"Think about the one you love." Doctor Millard told him, before he reopened Sage's bedroom door.
Sage then gave a nod, but the only one he loved was Cye and Cye had left... left him. Sage soon started to cry, as his wings pressed down against his back, it was odd feeling them there for the first time. Sage dried his tears then, fine, he'll just have to go to the water right? Sage soon smiled, as he got off his bed and walked out of his room. It seemed that Mia had fell asleep, but it also seemed rather quiet too. Sage then slowly crept down the hallway.
Sage sighed gently, as he reached the mansion's door. He waved bye to the mansion, before walking out, though he seen Rowen staring at the stars out there. Sage then quietly walked by, as he then dashed off down the road and past the mansion. Sage knew where the pond was, but he knew somehow that wasn't what Cye meant. Sage then knew what it was, he then kept going up the path, as the wind picked up a bit.
Sage slowly came to a small river, as he sighed. This wasn't the place either, but Sage needed to rest for a bit. So Sage panted a little, as he heard something from the bush, as he quietly walked over to it. Sage blinked since he saw a small child laying within the bush, Sage then backed away. Sage soon thought he should just continue onward, though the child tugged on Sage's leg.
"Hey..." Sage replied.
"I want my mommy." Chris explained as he cried.
"When was the last time you saw her?" Sage asked.
"She was heading that way." Chris pointed up the road.
"Okay, I am heading there too, you can come." Sage told him.
"Thanks mister." Chris replied, as he smiled.
Sage sighed then, before he walked up the road with the little boy following after him. Just great, Sage thought to himself. Sage kept on walking up the road, giving pants every few moments, before he noticed women standing near a tree. The boy ran up to her and hugged her leg, guess that's his mom, Sage thought. Sage soon walked over toward them, though the women didn't seem too happy with Sage.
"What I do?" Sage asked her.
"You scared my boy." Melissa explained.
"I found you for him." Sage replied.
"Not what I heard, you monster." Melissa said slowly.
"Now wait a moment, I'm no monster." Sage said simply.
"Right, that's why you got them wings." Melissa replied.
Sage blinked, as he glanced toward his back. Sage sighed, since his wings were out in pure sight, well he didn't know how to hide them. Sage's only love was one and he went to the water, though the women soon picked up her son, before they headed back the other direction. Sage shrugged, as he continued to go up the path, until he finally reached the ocean.
