From Betrayal to Redemption Ch.5
"Go away! Come on already. Please just go away. Please go away. In the name of Mars just go away!" Raye shouted until her symbol finally vanished. "Thank you."
"With old age comes insanity," Chad said.
"I'm not insane Chad."
"So says the lady whom converses with herself."
"Chad," Raye hissed.
"You have a customer."
"Thank you," she said and walked out to the front.
"Hi welcome to Cherry Hill Temple. How can I…Jadeite!"
"Pardon me? You must have me confused with someone else," Jason replied.
"Yeah right!"
"Actually I am right."
"I don't know how you came back, but trust me I'll send you straight back to hell!" she shouted reaching for her pen.
"Lady look! I'm not this Jadeite you speak of. My name is Jason Specter and I've just moved here with my cousins. We…"
"What!"
"I'm new in town. I saw the shrine and wanted to check it out."
"Did you really? Why?" she questioned holding the broom in a defensive stance.
"Because I studied religion amongst other things in school. I wanted to see the temple and learn more about Japanese ways up close."
Raye looked at him suspiciously. 'I'm not getting any evil vibes from him. But then again Jadeite didn't give them off last time at first either. Maybe…he does look different from Jadeite…Luna said we would have a new enemy coming, but…but that doesn't make sense. Jadeite is an old enemy. He says his name is-'
"Lady you okay?"
"Oh yes. I…what did you say your name was?"
"Jason Specter. I apologize if I've confused you. Perhaps being out in the sun is bad for the little lady."
"Little lady?"
"Did you know that your eyes flash a darker shade when you're angry?"
"Angry? I most certainly am not angry!"
"Then why are you screaming and breathing hard?"
"Because…because you are presuming things that are not true and…"
"And what?"
"Nothing."
"Maybe we should go out to dinner so you can tell me all about this nothing."
"Excuse me?"
"Don't tell me that you have selective hearing as well."
"What did you just say?"
"That's alright. Your beauty can surpass that misfortune."
"I…who the hell do you think you are! INSULTING ME LIKE THAT! YOU EGOTISTICAL PIG! YOU MACHO CHIMPANZEE!"
"Hahahah. I was only joking Raye."
"You were…how did you know my name?"
'Shit! Think quick …' "The other guy told me."
"Hmmm…"
"So now how about that dinner date?"
"Why don't you take your dinner and shove it up your ass."
"Well I've never gone for the kinky stuff before but I'm willing to try it for you."
"KINKY! GET AWAY FROM MY TEMPLE YOU SICK PERVERT!" Raye shouted and grabbed her broom. "So help me if you don't leave now I'll…"
"Set me on fire? You know I think I'm going to call you Phoenix."
"Excuse me? Mr. Specter my name most certainly is not Phoenix and I-"
FLASHBACK
As the couple lay in bed together in the aftermath of ecstasy, the woman's face came into the picture. She had long raven hair with passionate violet eyes. She snuggled in closer to her lover and he moved his arm to the nightstand to pick up a box. She watched him curiously as he said, "I have something for you."
"You know that you didn't have to do that."
"I wanted to. Open it."
The woman cautiously took the box and just held it in her hand. A part of her dreaded opening that box but the other part couldn't wait to do it.
"Open it Phoenix."
She took a deep breath and opened the box to reveal a diamond ring with rubies surrounding the outer ring. "What…what are you doing?"
"Sweetheart to me you are not only a princess but the love of my life. You lit a fire in me the day I met you and its immortal flames will continue to burn as long as I have your love. I want you with me for the rest of my life. I want you to have my children and teach them all about their history and heritage. Marry me love."
The woman starred at the ring and at her lover with shock and confusion. After a pregnant moment of silence the man said, "Say something."
"I can't marry you."
"What do you mean you can't?"
"Just like I said I can't," she said and wrapped her robe around her. Standing before him she lectured, "Have you completely lost your mind? What would possess you to ask me something so…so ludicrous? Can you imagine us a married couple?"
"Yeah I can or I wouldn't have asked."
"Well the answer is no."
"What the hell is your problem huh?" he asked and pushed back the covers to face her.
"There is no problem."
"God you're so full of BULLSHIT! Just admit it."
"Admit what?" she screamed.
"That not only are you scared of your future but you're scared to death of what you feel for me," he said approaching her.
"I don't feel anything for you," she said and turned her back to him.
"I'd wager differently," he replied and kissed her shoulders. "Admit it."
"There's nothing to admit."
"Admit it."
"I…I don't have anything to say to you."
"You don't have to say anything at all Raye your body says it all."
"My body will react to many a man's touch."
"Like this?"
"Please…"
"Please…what?" he questioned as he continued his kisses down her arms and back.
She turned to face him and with what looked like tears in her eyes replied, "Please go. Go back to your prince and leave me be." Walking to the door she opened it and said, "Don't bother coming back because you won't be welcomed."
Grabbing his clothes and without a word to her he walked out of her room leaving Raye alone with no one to see the single tear fall from her cheek.
END OF FLASHBACK
When Raye came out of her flashback she gasped for air and felt wetness on her cheek. Instead of wiping it away she let it fall and starred at the man before her. She reached out for him but pulled back before getting to close and asked, "Why did you leave me?"
"I'm sorry what?"
"Why did you leave me? Why didn't you come back?" she asked.
"Raye…I think that you need to sit down."
Raye's eyes dilated, she blinked them twice and looked at Jason with shock and fear. "I…I have to go."
"Raye wait I'd like to talk to you," he said and grabbed for her arm. Instantaneously she felt something happen to her body. She felt a fire light in her belly and consume her body with a painful yet fulfilling feeling. Then without knowing it she pulled away from him as if he had burned her. "Raye are you sure you're alright?"
"Yes I'm fine. I just need to get some rest. If you'll excuse me," she said and turned to leave.
'Such independence. God I love you,' his thoughts said.
"What did you say?" Raye questioned and looked back at him.
"I asked if you were alright. Maybe you do need to get some rest. You don't look so good."
"Thank you for the concern, but that's…that's not what you said."
"Yes it is Raye. I'll see myself out." 'Maybe this was harder on her then I thought it would be,' he thought.
"I just heard you say that! What's harder than you thought would be?"
Jason's eyes flickered and he thought, 'Shit! No it couldn't have happened.'
"You're mouth didn't move and I still can hear your voice. What couldn't have happened?"
"Raye just go and lie down and I'm sure that everything will be better in a few hours." 'More like worse for me but better for her. Damn I knew I shouldn't have come here.'
"Okay that's it! You're gonna tell me what the hell did you do to me or I'm gonna burn you alive!" she screamed and grabbed at his collar pulling him in closer to her.
'Ah my fiery prietess returns,' he thought. 'Damn the link!'
'A link? Can you hear me too?' she thought.
"I gotta go. I'll try to come back tomorrow," he said and walked down the shrine steps.
"Jason wait!" she called and rushed after him. Before she could reach him he had jumped into his car and sped off down the street.
Inside his car Jason knew he couldn't think about anything until he got inside the house with the magic barrier. "Dammit! Why did I have to touch her? Now our psychic link is reformed and who knows what she heard." His cell phone rang and without even saying hello the caller said, "You need to get home now."
