Chapter 2

Returning

It was three weeks after the fight. It was the end of the school year and was going to turn to summer vacation the next week. His mother was sick same as his father. They could not even get out of bed. They were in their room sleeping.

It's almost lunch, Gregor thought, better go get them something to got up and walked into the kitchen. He went and made some soup. He walked into their room where they were still asleep. He looked at the ground and found there was vomit next to them.

"Come on guys wake up you need to eat."Neither of them moved. He walked over to his dad. He laid his hand on his forehead to find it was ice cold. Earlier it had been hot like he had a fever. He felt for a pulse, and only found nothing. He turned to his mom.

He felt her forehead to find it was still hot. He felt for a pulse and found it was faint. He ran into the kitchen and grabbed the phone. He called the nearest hospital and told them of his parents condition. An ambulance arrive in fifteen minutes.

He and his sisters hopped into the ambulance. They got there and were told to wait in some chairs outside. They all sat there for hours to come. A nurse told them that they would need to go home.

When they got home they all went to their rooms to worried to eat.

He woke to the sound of the phone ringing. Lizzie got there befor he could get in the kitchen. After she hung up she hung her head."She did not survive."That was all she could say.

They were could not hope for them to come home anymore.

The next day they discused where they should go. Most of their family was too far away to visit or were dead. They all decided that they could go back to the underland. The only person they could go to was Mrs. Mrs. Cormaci to get there. He went to the phone and called her.

She answered after three rings."Hello?"

"Hi Mrs. 's me Gregor I was wondering if we could come over for an excuse to go back to the underland. Our parents have died."

She let out a sad sigh."Even in her death you still want to go back there. Ok. You have your drivers licence right?"

"Yes."

"And a car?"

"Yes."

"Ok then you can come here, but before you head down there you best spend a few hours with me, I have missed you all greatly."

"Ok." With that he hung up the phone."Ok guys get some stuff we will be visiting Mrs. Cormaci before we go down. Remember to bring stuff you need it will all be burned. Only things that you do not want to be burned will be put in the museum."

They gathered their stuff and got to the car. The only thing Gregor was bringing was a change of clothes and his picture of Luxa and him in the museum.

The drive took two hours to get there. When they got there they parked in the parking garage across the street. They went into the building and climbed the stairs to Mrs. Cormaci's floor and knocked on her door.

She answered almost immediatly."Hi." She said in a excited tone. Lizzie and Margaret both hugged her while Gregor gave her a acknowledging nod.

They talked for a few hours about what had happened after they moved. Mrs. Cormaci hadn't changed a bit. When it was late at night they decided it was time to leave for the underland. They said their last goodbyes to Mrs. Cormaci and left.

When they went out they walked to a nearby store and bought five flashlights and two dozen got to central park and walked to the rock. It was late at night, almost midnight. He pushed the rock out and walked into the tunnel, waving his sisters in.

He closed the tunnel and used echolocation to know his surroundings. He picked up a small piece of debris and threw it and scanned the area farther ahead, he was near a master of using the technique. His sisters had not been able to learn it in the small periods of time they had without their parents.

Gregor reached the end of the steps and started walking left. He had no idea where he was going. He only guessed which direction and hoped he would find something good. He was about to turn a corner when he sensed something. They all stopped in their tracks. All Gregor had was a kitchen knife used fot cutting steak.

He took it out and turned the corner to find a sleeping bat. "Hello?" The bat shot it's wings open missing him by centimeters.

"Who are you?"

"Forget me after only five years? Thought it would take longer to get my image out of your minds. Well I guess I have changed in these five years."

"Who are you?!"The bat said more agressively.

"I am Gregor, the dead warrior of the Prophecy of Time."

The bat let out a small bat laugh."It is a relief that you are not a threat. Many thought you never to come back."

"Much has happened forcing me to have no place to call home. I came in hope of home."

"Then why do you head away from Regalia instead of towards it?"

Gregor blushed at this."I am afraid I have been away too long to remember all the caves coming and going to anywhere."

"Then would you like a ride back to the city I was heading there my self from a scouting group."

"It would be of great thanks..."

"Daedalus." The bat said.

"You were on the code team!" Lizzie blurted out.

"Indeed I was and who might you be?"

"Lizzie."

"Oh, have you brought both your sisters, overlander."

"Yes, and please just call me Gregor."

The flight was short and soon they saw the breath taking view of Regalia. He noticed people training in the arena. When they landed they thanked Daedalus."Where should we go from here?" He asked and before Daedalus could answer Gregor was in a bone breaking bear hug.

"Gregor it is most to my suprise that you have returned."Said a familiar voice.

"Nice... to... see... you... too."He puffed out.

Mareth let him out of the embrace."What has happened that has made you returned? We all thought you never to return."

"It is my parents that have brought me here. They have both died."He said sadly.

"I am sorry for you loss. Many have lost their parents down here but for up above it is not common to have this happen?"

"No it is not common."

"Where is everyone else, might I ask?"

"Howard is doing rounds in the hospital, Vikus has meetings to attend, Hazard is free of duties and Ripred is in the arena training soldiers."He paused"Luxa has been in her chambers for half the day due to a joke Ripred said of you never returning to the underland. The Vikus got a cup thrown at his head when he tried to enter."

"Well perhaps the sight of me will help."

"I believe the sight of you would be good for all of us."He motioned for Gregor to follow. They walked down hallways until they reached the royal wing. Mareth signaled the guards aside. They walked in."I will wait here you go on ahead. And don't get hit by a cup or book. We just got you back and we don't want to say our hellos in the hospital."

"I was thinking about that. Don't worry I'll be fine." He walked to the room Mareth had motioned to. He pulled the curtain back and ducked to avoid a cup flying towards his head."Really Luxa I get back and the first thing you do is throw a cup at me. No wonder Ripred would say a joke about that."

"Who are you?" She said not even looking up.

"Really only Mareth seems to remember me. Just take a guess."

"What is this to you, a game? Leave."She said calmly.

"Just look up at me."

She grabbed a book and turned to throw it at him. She caught his eyes and dropped the book to the floor. She ran to him embracing him."I knew you would come back. I only thought it would be longer."

He laughed."Nice to see you too."

They walked out of the room, one arm around the other."Well Gregor she is in a better mood after seeing you."Luxa punched the man in the shoulder, none too lightly.

"Yep I am back. I have nothing left for me up above any longer."

I will be trying my best to post twice a day, but I can not make that certain. If not I might be out with my family, or I may be having computer problems. But I will try to post as often as I can.
