Chapter Twelve(Part One): The Visions Don't Lie
I finally found James and stayed for a little bit. I told James I was a reincarnation, but he didn't mind. He told me to go back to Haven, along with my friends. He was going to find homes for everybody he saved then come find me again. Before we left, he gave me a magical stone. He said that it shows the mood of a person who has sacrificed a drop of their blood on top. He sacrificed a drop and so now I can see the mood that he is currently in. It was a mix of yellow and blue. He was part sad and part anxious. I was sad and anxious, too. I missed him already, but I'm just glad that he is safe and I will see him again.
"Everything ok, Titania?" Jaune asked.
"Yeah, everything is fine." I said with a smile. I kept staring at the stone instead of paying attention to my surroundings. I almost bumped into a tree when Louis grabbed me from the shoulder.
"You should watch where you are going. You don't have to stare at that every second of the day." Louis said.
"I know, I'm just so happy that he's alive. I don't want to waste a single second looking at this."
"Well, if you're going to look at it all day, I'll be your guide." He held onto my shoulder and everywhere I walked, it's because Louis was helping me navigate my steps.
He didn't have to do that, but I'm just glad he kept me safe from bumping into anything. I thought about it for awhile, 'Does Louis still like me?' Is this why he is helping me navigate my steps. I looked up and let the necklace hang from my neck. Louis let go of my shoulder and stared at me strangely.
"Everything ok?"
"Louis?" I whispered. You still don't like me do? After what I told you, and now that we all know James is still alive? We are just friends, right?"
He didn't answer me, he just looked down with his hands in his hoodie pockets. I just noticed that he still had his hood up. He's had it up after Evelyn and Alistair found out he was a faunus. When I saw that he was looking down, he looked kinda flushed.
"Louis, did you hear what I ask?"
"Huh, oh, no, sorry. I was thinking about something else. What did you ask?" He scratched his finger on his face and started looking nervous.
"Nevermind." I said. I think I already know that answer. Louis still likes me. I can't believe this. After what I told him.
"It's starting to get dark again guys, let's all camp out here." Oscar said.
Good, my feet are killing me." Weiss said.
"You said it, sister." Ruby said.
We were nowhere near Haven, it's still a three day trip and everyone is already tired. I don't blame them, but this trip was worth it.
"Ok, who's ready for some ghost stories?" Nora asked.
"Oo, oo, me! Can I go first?" Ruby asked.
"Ok, Ruby, I'm ready! Show us what you got!"
"Ok, here I go." She coughed and took a deep breathe. She took a flashlight, turned it on and placed it under her face. "It was a dark and cold night, just like this one."
"It's not cold." Blake said.
"Shush, you are ruining my vision! Anyway. A group of friends all went camping...and had s'mores. When it was time to go to bed, they heard a crack in the distance."
"Wait, where's Yang?" I asked.
"Shush, she's not important, my story is! Ugh. They heard a crack in the distance."
There was a real crack in the distance and everyone jumped for their life, except Oscar and Ruby.
"And what they didn't realize was that the forest they were camping in had rumors a giant monster was living there. The campers got up on their feet and searched for the sound."
"Such warriors." Nora said.
"They took their flashlights out and there was another crack."
Another real crack was heard, but it was closer than last time. Everyone screamed this time.
"Right in front of the campers was a big, giant, 8 foot, man-eating monster! They all screamed for their lives and then later found, eaten done to the bone."
There was rustling in the bushes, and red glowing eyes were glaring through them...and a creature came out.
"RRAAHH!" The creature said.
Ruby started laughing and so did the creature. The creature was Yang the whole time and they both started laughing on the ground.
"Wow, that was so scary." Blake said.
"Hey, you screamed with everybody else." Weiss said.
"It's called acting. I knew about this."
"And I didn't?"
"That actually gave me the chills. Hold me, Alistair." Evelyn said.
"Oh, you are just all scaredy-cats. That was pretty good Ruby, you even got me."
"I'm sure we all had a good scare, but it's time to go to bed, we start walking on the first light. I'll be a first watch." Oscar said.
Everybody said goodnight and fell asleep. I looked at the magical stone one last time and it was orange. He was calm. I finally closed my eyes and pictured James. I could never tell if I was dreaming of having visions anymore, it's so hard to tell now. James looked alone and was at our village. He was by two graves. The names were my parents names, Tania Miller and Joseph Miller. I missed them so much. James was on his knees and muttering something to them. I couldn't make it out, but he started crying. He got up and walked for a bit, then met face to face with another woman. She had black hair and was wearing a red dress. She had a scar over her left eye and in her right hand was a bow. She had a quiver on her shoulder with a bunch of arrows.
James spoke this time. "Cinder?"
The woman didn't say anything and she took an arrow out and placed it on the bow, pointing it at James. She finally spoke. "Hello, James. Long time, no see. How's life?"
James freaked out and fell on the floor. "Please, no, I promised Titania I see her again."
"Well, that's too bad, your time is up. You had all this time, and you wasted it. I wonder where you will end up. Goodbye, James. I'll tell this...what was her name, Titania girl, how you died. I'm sure she will understand for the crime you played."
"NO!"
Cinder aimed the arrow at James and let go. The arrow struck James in the chest and he fell to the floor.
I woke up, screaming in fear and started crying. I woke up everyone up and they all came to me.
"Titania, what's wrong?"
I looked at the stone, and it was red. James was in danger.
