Protector of SPR
Chapter 10
The wave grew and grew and all I could feel was fear running through my blood. I could faintly hear the sound of small voices in the back of my ind as my horror grew with the waters size. Thoughts ran through my mind at a speed that you would not believe. Would I really die this time? Would I really have to leave the earth and all my friends? Were would I go? And would the others come with me? What would happen to Naru and Madoka and Lin? All these and more were going through my head.
I felt the pressure on my hands increase. More on the right then on the left due to the fact that Lin had more control over his emotions then Madoka. But I could still feel the pressure there increase nonetheless. Narus hands were so tight on my back that they felt almost numb.
I cowered into their touches. What would happen to them? Would they die with me? As if it weren't bad enough that I was going to be killed by my own emotions, they had to die with me. All of this was my fault why would they have to suffer along with me? What had they done to me that they deserved this?
I snapped out of my thoughts when that small busing of voices got louder. I looked to my right and left to see Madoka and Lin staring down at me with panic in their eyes. That's when I realized it. It was Gene's voice in my ear. I looked over my shoulder past Naru. There he was running towards me. The wind that was accumulating, blowing his bangs in his eyes. The others followed my gaze with wide eyes.
"Gene!" I yelled over the boisterous wind.
"Mai!" he yelled as he came closer. The wave was building bigger but wasn't going anywhere yet. Finally he reached me pushing his younger brother out of the way and placing his hands on my shoulders. "Mai! You must calm down! This space affecting the outer world as well! You emotions are getting the better of you! if you don't people could be killed. You and them! They'll all be killed!"
I panicked again. That hadn't helped even a little bit. My eyes grew wide as the wind pick up speed. I dropped to the ground to my knees as I buried my head in my hands and sobbed. Gene knelled down with me bring me into a hug as he did so. I focused on my breathing as he tucked my head into the crook of his neck. He whispered sweet nothings as my sobs began to die down. Our surroundings started to change again. The sea wasn't as calm as it had been but it my emotions were still a little lopsided. The sun started to peek through the clouds, but just barely.
When he was sure that I was done crying, gene pulled away from me. His soft expression making me a little more relaxed. I slowly stood up with the help of Lin's hand. Once I was secure on my feet and I was sure that I wouldn't fall over I let go and gave him a weary but thankful smile.
"Mai you have to keep your emotions under control. You have no idea what you could end up doing to this world or any others for that fact. I wish I could have told you that before but I didn't even know." Gene sighed as he said this. When I looked to the others they seemed to be fixed on gene and my self. I had a pretty good feeling why but it was starting to freak me out a little.
"So your here to, are you?" Naru finally spoke up.
"Yes but I'm not like Mai so don't get your hopes up little brother."
"I wasn't planning to."
"Good" Gene dismissed the conversation then focused his attention back to me. "I'm surprised that you're still standing. These events should have taken a lot out of you."
"I am feeling tired though so it probably won't be long until I do. but hat am I supposed to do about them?" I asked looking back over to the three that I had somehow dragged in here with me.
"You'll have to send them back. But I am curious how did you get them in here in the first place?"
I looked down at my bare feet that were now being bathed by the tide and sand. I watched as a small silver chain caught on my big toe but refused to be dragged away with the water. I reached down and grabbed what I now recognized as my locket. I opened it to reveal the picture of my parents. I smiled down at them the swiftly closed it before I got to lost in looking at them. I handed it necklace over to Gene as my explanation, and he took it with out question.
"I guess this is how you'll have to send them back." His voice was just above a whisper but I heard him loud and clear.
"Alright. But how do I do that?" I asked as I took the locket back.
He started to fade away but I was just able to catch his voice as it drifted off. "just think about were you want to send them."
I turned towards the trio and looked down to the locket again. When I looked back again they were staring at me with guarded expressions. I was going to ask what was wrong but I felt sleep tugging at me. "Sorry I can't answer your questions. But I promise when I learn how to communicate with you guys better I will tell you everything I know." I said as I held out the locket in front of me again and concentrated on it. The silver bells could be heard once more and the necklace started to glow. I opened my eyes once I felt the chain fading from my hands as I watched them disappear with it. Once the locket was free from my grasp I looked into each of their familiar eyes, an apology written on my face. The two adults just smiles a little but the teen with the black hair looked like he was torn between protesting and crying. I smiled the best I could until I was sure that he was gone. I once again faded into a peaceful sleep.
