Loveless

Chapter 13

Jack's POV

Where am I? What's going on? I looked around, but I could see anything. Everything was… black.

"You love her don't you?"

That voice sounds familiar….

"W-what? What are you talking about? Where are you?"

"Do you?" The voice asked again.

"What are you talking about? I can't answer you if I don't understand the question!"

A figure emerged from the shadows and stood right in front of me. It was…

"Lumina!? What are you doing here? Were you the one who asked me those questions?"

She just stood there with a blank look in her eyes. Then, she started to glow.

I shielded my eyes from the bright light. "What's happening?!"

"You can open your eyes now." This was a different voice.

Lumina wasn't standing in front of me anymore. This was a totally different person.

She was beautiful, like some kind of Goddess. "W-who are you?"

"I am the Harvest Goddess." This is the Harvest Goddess?!

"You're the Harvest Goddess?!"

She giggled. "You probably don't know how important I am. Since your valley doesn't have a Harvest Goddess of its own."

"But, since you're the Goddess, why haven't you been in the valley?"

"I've been at other places helping people."

"But we needed help here!"

"When I left this place years ago, everyone was so happy and content with their lives. I didn't think they needed help."

"But now we do!" I looked at the ground and clenched my fists. "Because… because…"

"I know all about it. That's why I came."

I looked up at her. "Really? You're gonna help me find Celia?"

She smiled. "Of course."

She extended her arm out to the side of her. Then something that looked like a portal came out of her hand.

"What's that?"

"It will show you where Celia is right now. It's not a portal or anything, it only shows you what's happening in a certain place. Like a security camera or something." She explained.

"Oh…"

An image started to come up. Once it was clear, I saw a dark dungeon looking place. The screen changed and showed a cell. A big, muscular man was standing next to it and Celia was inside.

"Celia!" I called out. "Victor, that bastard! He locked her up! I am going to kill him!"

"No, no. We don't allow killing." The Goddess said, shaking her head.

"Who are 'we'?"

"The company."

"What company?"

"The one that starts with a N, I can't really pronounce it all that well, but I do know that they do not allow killing in their games." She had a serious look on her face, it didn't seem like she was joking.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I guess I won't kill him. I'll just hurt him. Very badly."

"Okay. He deserves it anyway." Didn't she just tell me I shouldn't hurt him?

This was getting confusing. I shook my head. "Whatever. How do I get to the place where he's keeping Celia?"

"Didn't he give you a map?" She asked.

"Oh, yeah! He did! What I meant to say is how do I get out of this dark place."

She pouted. "You want to leave me already?" I nodded. "Fine then, you are trying to save the person you love, and I can't stop that."

"What do you mean by 'the person I love'?" I asked.

"You'll find the answer." She snapped her fingers.

"Wait—" I couldn't say anything after that, because everything went white at that moment.

--

"Wha!" I looked around and saw that I was in my house, sitting in the bed.

"It was a dream. So does that mean none of it was real?" I pondered that until I heard--

knock knock

I got out of the bed and walked to the door. Nami was standing in the doorway.

"The boat is here for you." She simply stated.

"Thanks Nami." I got my things (weapons) and ran straight to the beach. Everyone in the village was there.

"All of you came to see me off?" I asked.

"Duh. What did you think?" Marlin said.

Vesta punched him and he fell to the ground in pain. "Never mind him Jack. Bring Celia back to us."

Lumina was standing next to her best friend (other than me), Rock.

"Jack! Be careful! And remember what I told you!"

Rock gave Lumina a confused look. "What did you tell him Lumi?"

"Nothing. It's not really important."

"Then why'd you say that if it wasn't important?!" He yelled.

"It's none of your business!" She yelled back.

They continued to argue while I was getting on the boat. As the boat sailed away, everyone waved to me. Lumina and Rock stopped their argument and waved too.

"See you later guys! I'll come back with Celia, I promise!" I yelled.

They yelled things like 'we know you will' or 'be careful'. Soon after that, they were all out of sight. I couldn't see Forget-Me-Not Valley anymore.

I'm coming Celia, just be safe until then.

Victor's POV

"Sir!" One of my servants ran up to me.

"What is it? I'm a busy man." I said irritably.

"I just got a call from Lee. He says that he has successfully picked up Jack, and now they're on their way here." She explained.

My plan is working perfectly. "Good. Report back to me if you have any more information. Now get back to work Servant #10!"

"I have a name sir." No one talks back to me!

"Did I ask you if you had a name? Frankly, I don't give a damn about your name! Now back to work!"

She bowed, like she's supposed to. "Yes sir. Sorry sir." And then she ran off.

I put my hand through my hair and sighed. "Wenches. What can you do with them?" She must be new, because I've never seen her before, but she looks familiar too. I don't know any women with purple hair, do I?

"Vi-cky!" Oh no. Here she comes.

I put on my fake smile. "Yes Muffy?"

"Can we spend time together now?"

"Uh, yeah. I have to get some rest first."

She pouted. "Aww, why'd you propose to me if you don't like me?" To tell the truth, she has grown on me a little over these few months.

"What makes you say a thing like that?" I asked.

"Cause you never do things with me anymore!" She started to cry. I really hate it when people cry.

"It's okay Muffy," I slowly patted her back, "we'll go on a date today. Alright?"

"Yes! Thank you Vicky!" She hugged me tightly.

"Heh, yeah…"

"I'll go get ready!" She ran up to the bedroom.

I sighed. "She's so troublesome. I guess I'm going to have to go do something with her today.

So annoying.

Muffy's POV

Vicky finally wants to spend time together! I'm so happy!

I ran up to the bedroom so I could look for some suitable clothes. I thought of this beautiful sundress I had with a matching hat! Perfect for a walk on the beach.

"Where did I put that dress? I know it's somewhere." I looked in all of the drawers and finally found my dress.

I held it up in the air. "I found you!" A slip of paper fell out of the dress.

"What's this?" I picked it up off of the ground.

--

I must eliminate everyone who knows.

--

This note. Did Vicky write this? H-he's planning to--

Celia's POV

It was so easy getting out of that cell. The guard fell asleep and the key was lying right next to me. The person who put me in there must have dropped it.

I found a purple wig. I don't know why something like this would be in the hallway. And I found a maid's dress too! So convenient!

I snuck into a room and it had screens everywhere! Is this one of those security rooms?

"I wonder why no one is in here."

Brrrriiinnngg

"A phone?" I picked it up. "Hello? Who is this?"

"It's Lee. Tell the master that I have picked up Jack and we are on our way there. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes, I'll t-tell the master." I said.

"Good. I'll report again when I'm back." Then he hung up.

"What was that about? His voice sounded scary."

'But, I could use this to my advantage. I could pretend to be a maid so Victor won't know it's me. And that man, Lee, says he has Jack, so I won't tell Victor if Jack is here at this place, because I have a bad feeling something bad might happen if I do tell him.'

"So first, I need to find the 'master'. I can tell him the information and gain his trust." I walked down the large, empty hallways. When I spotted him, I ran over.

"Sir!" I yelled.

He turned around and had a irritated look on his face. "What is it? I'm a busy man."

"I just got a call from Lee. He says that he has successfully picked up Jack, and now they're on their way here." I explained.

"Good. Report back to me if you have any more information. Now get back to work Servant #10!" He called me Servant #10?

"I have a name sir." Why did I say that? He's not supposed to know my name! And I certainly won't gain his trust after what I said!

"Did I ask you if you had a name? Frankly, I don't give a damn about your name! Now back to work!" See? I shouldn't have opened my big mouth.

I bowed, even though I hated bowing down to him. "Yes sir. Sorry sir." After I said that, I ran off. I could've sworn I heard him say something about 'wenches'.

Forget it. I'm just glad to get out of that cell, and I'm even happier knowing that Jack is coming to save me. I want to get back to the Valley as soon as possible.

But I still have that bad feeling though.

--

You like that chapter? Now to clear things up.

When Muffy found the note, it didn't just have one line. That was only part of the note. There's much more written in there.

As you may know, Celia escaped. She found a purple wig and a maid dress on the floor. Convenient huh? The guard is a heavy sleeper, that's why he didn't wake up.

Victor sent one of his servants undercover as the owner of the boat, so he can bring Jack to the island. It's a part of his plan.

I hope I helped you understand some things. See ya next chapter!
