Wee Cookie: Sorry I'm taking a long time to update lately, I'm just busy with school and work. But here you are the new chapter of Can One Love Another.
Laying on my bed for most of the night it was late when I event surely fell asleep. Hearing the odd shuffling during the night, even when the sun started to rise I could still hear the shuffling then a creak from a door down the hall. Jumping out of my bed already dressed due to not changing that night. I crept to the end of the hall to see Lara making her way down stairs with a bag in her arms. Following her the whole way to the beach, I managed to stay out of sight whenever she turned round.
Watching her dive into the sea without a care in the world about the current at this time in a morning, sighing I followed her not caring about what could happen. I don't know how I did it but I managed to keep up with her, all the way to the cove. I never once in my life realised how beautiful the sea was, how colourful it was and yet it was my first time taking notice of my surroundings. Coral of all colours and shapes along with the sea live all shapes and sizes even the bright tropical colours.
Reaching a narrow cave I watching slightly as Lara headed to the surface following suit I managed to find a tunnel near to her but far enough so she wouldn't see me. Looking around the small cave like cove I found myself in, I heard splashing coming from over the nearest rock to me. Crawling up onto the rock I got a good view of the whole cove. There on the small shore stood Lara with a medium sized shell. A type of colossal shell she held bright amethyst colours shining in the mid-day sun light.
The splashing was coming from the centre of the small opening of water within the clearing. I could see why she had referred to it as Amethyst cove; all the shells were of a light amethyst colour that darkened further up the clearing. Looking back to Lara I saw her sit herself upon a rock close enough to the waters edge. She seemed to be smiling but at what or who? Moving closer to the edge of the rock I was currently perched on I could see ripples coming from the centre of the pool small circles becoming large as they neared the pools edge.
Creeping a bit more to the edge I saw a boy of about the age of 17 maybe 18. Similar gravity defying hair as myself with some differences like his hair was tipped with a light purple similar to his eyes. Big, bright amethyst eyes that seemed to shine not matter where he swam. His skin was pale like Lara's, he made her seem tanned compared to his. He looked younger than what he was, by the way he spoke he was around our age but he only looked around 16.
Just seeing him talking to Lara showed how much I had missed over the years; she was smiling and laughing, which I had never seen her do in years. Just looking at her she looked so happy to be out and away from the house maybe even away from me. Edging myself a little closer to the edge I mustn't of noticed the lose rock I happened to be leaning on, without warning I fell face first straight into the deep water before me.
Spinning around in the water I looked around the small area before turning to see what was behind me. Looking around there before me was the boy Lara was talking to, my eyes widened at the sight of Yugi's beautiful body, except for legs there was a light blue tail fin it glittered in the sun light that beamed down upon his pale skin.
Heading to the surface to claim the air my lungs needed opening my eyes as I gasped for air I saw Lara looking at me with disbelief in her eyes. The glare she sent me was unpleasant but then again I had intruded on her privacy.
"Why are you here Atem?" She climbed to her feet and glared at me, she didn't seem to happy but who would be if they were in her shoes.
"Why do you think? I followed you so I could see if you were telling the truth. Lara I never thought you were being serious about having a friend. Lara after all these years I can't believe I ever doubted you."
"You're only saying this to make me forgive you." She stepped forward as she said it.
"Lara, listen to your brother hear what he has to say before you judge him on the past." Yugi said as he swam back to the clearing. I looked back to Lara as she seemed to reconsider Yugi's advice, I was thankful he was wanting Lara to give me a chance to explain myself after all I needed to.
"What can I do anyway; I don't have the strength to hit any harder than the other night. You might as well stay you don't know your way back, you might get lost or even worse." I gasped in shock as she said that, she said it with a serious tone like she did care about me.
"Lara, you're never this cold, tell your brother everything you've told me." I turned to Yugi as he started to talk. No matter how I tried I couldn't get his angelic features from my mind.
"Yugi it's not that easy." She turned to Yugi as he said that. I guess he believed that I could be different or he saw apart of me that Lara didn't.
"Alright, your right I do need to tell him along with the fact he has had right to know what I feel and think. Atem over the past few years I've been dying to get away, somehow escape here just to get away from you and mother. But after she pushed me overboard on that ship nearly causing me to die I realised how much I really wanted to hurt the pair of you for putting me through this life I've lived. You haven't the slightest idea how my life has been with mother constantly beating me, you and Seto hurting me with your insults not that you would know you don't realise I have feelings too."
"Why do you think I'm here now Lara to give back to you so much for making me realise the truth. I've never noticed how much you hurt until now." I stepped closer to her as she stepped one step closer to the waters edge.
"Ya- Atem..." She dropped to her knee's hugging herself as tears made their way down her cheeks. She surprised me by nearly saying me other name, only Seto called me Yami, no one else and she nearly slipped up. She had always hated that name even though it fit me prefect. I stepped closer to her, not caring if she was going to hit me I had to at least attempt to help her. Kneeling beside her I brought her closer to myself, she didn't fight back or struggle out of my grasp.
Wee Cookie: Hope you enjoyed it and I will try to make the next chapter better than this I understand it's not so good now. I'm needing ideas for new chapters. Please review and thanks for reading.
