Secrets (Chapter 9 1/2)
Jim ran as fast as he could back off of the Legacy. The mud splashing up his legs, dirtying his pants. Determined, decided, and lovelorn, Jim was finally going to do it, he'd found the one. The one that he wanted to spend the rest of his being with. He was very unaware that he was being watched by forces unknown. . .
"That's it, boy... run as fast as you can... you've brought her back to me." The strange creatures awkward sentence trailed off into the night, along with his raspy voice.
One of the mechanics, Steve, who'd been working on the Legacy earlier, approached him, "When do you want us to take her?"
"YOU!!" The creature shouted, "YOU won't be taking her ANYWHERE!!" It's fangs were inches from Steve's eyes.
"Y-y-y-yes... s-s-s-s-sir..." Steve backed down to the ground, trying not to wince.
"Just deal with the boy..." He ordered him, taking his fangs out of Steve's face and morphing back into a fellow mechanic.
"Yes, Master Corin, sir..." Steve nodded and left to go after Jim.
Back on the Legacy...
Luna had left the ship as well after bidding everyone goodbye. She stepped backwards, watching the ship until she was a distance away from it.
"So, what was it that 'ol Jimbo needed to see?" Silver asked.
"The spear was pierced into Corin's heart..." Ebony said, "Well, when we found the spear, no skeleton or shred of Corin was found."
"That means..." Victoria stepped in.
Ebony nodded in agreement, "He's alive and well..."
"And that Luna was his Princess... His Princess that didn't love him." Victoria added.
