Chapter 7

Alliances

AN: yayyyyy! Okay so yeah I should be doing my homework right now but muahahahah! Nope! I can't leave Eddie hanging! Hehe Loren's luck changes soon so Leddie fans read read read! Yummy kay here it is.

Setting Mel's bedroom:

Mel storms into her bedroom and plops on her bed alone. She had dropped Adam off on the way home. She just wanted to be alone.

Loren and Eddie are out there, I know it. They need me. she thinks.

Mel wants to cry but refuses.

Don't cry Mel, You know you don't cry.

She rolls on her back and sighs, staring at her ceiling.

"What am I going to do?" She whines to herself.

She then rolls on her stomach and drags her laptop towards her and opens it.

Maybe I can find that guy's number on here.

Just as Mel goes to get on Jake's website she looks up at her browser and notices she has over then 300 emails.

She groans angrily, "Adammmm!"

She looks through her inbox to see if anyone interested emailed her. But know just a bunch of weirdo's like Leddie123 Leddiexoxo Leddie143

Suddenly, Mel's jaw drops when she sees a peculiar name, 'Tyler Rorke'

"Oooh!" she goes as she opens the email.

She reads the email and bites her lip.

Tyler, the guy who ruined Eddie's life. This can either turn out really good, or really bad.

Mel picks up her cell phone and begins to dial Tyler's number.

A risk, I'm willing to take…

The phone rings and Tyler answers.

"Hello, Mr. Rorke? This is Mel Sanders."

Setting: Ozborne Silver's Office:

Chloe barges through the front door of Ozborne Silver's office. She's wearing a short long sleeved baby pink dress, with silver stilettos. Her hair is curled and perfect and she has entirely too much makeup on.

She struts over to Conner Morgan behind his desk.

"Is Oz busy?" she asks sweetly tilting her head.

Conner smiles and tilts his head, "Do you have an appointment?"

Chloe recoils offended, she then walks over Oz's door. Before she walks in, she looks back and smiles at Conner Morgan, "I'll take that as a no." she says in a low cocky voice.

Chloe walks in the door and Oz sees her and jumps up.

"Chloe Carter!" what a surprise! He greets walking up to her to hug her.

They hug and Chloe giggles, "I have a favor to ask." she says kindly.

Ozborne nods and puts his arm around Chloe guiding her through his office, "Anything, Ms. Carter, anything. And hey have you ever thought of being a mermaid?"

"huh?"

Setting: The Village

Nora and Kelly are lounging in the middle of the village. There is a ridiculously huge bonfire in the middle. And natives in colorful costumes and masks are dancing around it.

Ladies keep approaching Nora and offering her gifts.

Nora just smiles awkwardly and says to give the gifts to charity.

It's a big celebration and everybody's cheering and dancing. Kelly is talking to some huge masculine Alagan look alike when Nora calls her over.

"Yeah?" Kelly asks annoyed, "What's up?"

Nora fiddles her hands nervously, "Have you seen the guys? Loren?" she asks.

Kelly shakes her head, "No, but-"

"Hey, Yesubai." Max says charmingly as he sneaks up on Nora and hugs her from behind.

Nora jumps as she turns to face him.

She grabs his hand, "You scared me!" she complains.

Max laughs and twirls her around like a ballerina, "You look radiant." he says checking her out.

Nora blushes, "Well, I am a goddess." she explains shrugging her shoulders, "You look nice too." she returns the compliment.

And Max did look great. His old tattered clothes had been replaced with a tan and gold cloth around his waist that hung to his knees. He had golden gladiator sandals and a golden band on each arm. Also a thick golden chain around his neck.

Nora squeezed his arm by the golden band, "really nice" she said.

Eddie and Jake soon arrived. Eddie went to his dad's side, but Jake went straight to Kelly.

Unlike Nora and Kelly, the guys' outfits were all different. Jake wore a black cloth, the same length as Max's though it had golden accents all over it. He also had black henna tattoo's all over his chest and arms, with golden bands, sandals, and chain.

Jake walked straight to Kelly looking her up and down, "You look like a princess."

Kelly smiled and blushed. They washed a lot of Kelly's makeup off and left her with a more natural look. She looked different but better. Very pretty.

Kelly put her hand on Jake's abbs.

"You look like a king." she said swiftly.

Eddie however looked the best of all. He steps forward behind his dad and showed everybody his ensemble. Eddie's golden-bronze chest was bare but there was black henna tattoos on his forearms. On his upper arms laid thick golden arm bands. And around his neck hung a short thick golden chain. Unlike Jake and Max, Eddie had golden rings on his fingers. The cloth around Eddie's waist hung just above his knees and was all gold. Except for a jet black rim at the top and a jet black design on the bottom and in the middle. Eddie had solid gold gladiator sandals and a big white shining smile.

The village was crowded with people celebrating. One guy even bumped into Eddie accidentally. The guy was angry at first but the second he saw it was Eddie he bowed to the ground. Eddie made him get up and told him it was okay.

Then weirded out Eddie ran to Max's side, "Where are we?" he asked him.

Max patted his sons back and sighed, "I'm going to find out, stay here and watch the girls." he commanded as him and Jake walked over to Chief Alagan.

Eddie shrugged his shoulders and faced Nora and Kelly. He clapped and rubbed his hands together, "Uhmm, you guys look lovely. Where's Loren?"

Kelly's jaw dropped and Nora grinned hugely. They pointed behind Eddie.

Confused, Eddie turned around to see what everyone was staring at, but then gaped at the sight himself.

The crowd of thousands of villagers split in two. Creating a path. Everybody and everything seemed to blur away to Eddie, as Loren walked down the path.

She looked so short and fair skinned compared to everything. She stood out like a sore thumb. But not because she was different in a bad way. But because her radiant beauty.

She walked down the path clueless. Everybody was staring at her and she didn't know why. Her cheeks were blushing redder then Eddie's heart, that was beating a mile a minute.

She was wearing a stunning dress, unlike anybodies in the village.

She wore a long white gown, that dragged in the white sand she walked on. The sand everyone seemed to worship. The dress was a halter top with spaghetti strings. Around the bust the dress was draped and crinkled in a deep v-neck. The rest of her white dress hugged her tightly down to her mid-thigh. Then from her mid-thigh down the white dress hung loose, flowing as she walked. She had no jewelry on, although around the dress, hung a golden vine with golden leaves, that wrapped around her twice.

Loren's hair was curled and hung over her left shoulder, leaving her right, hanging out.

In her hair rested one striking golden tropical flower atop her left ear.

She finally approached Eddie and smiled shyly.

"Heyyy." she said awkwardly.

Eddie smiled his gorgous little slanted smile.

"Hey yourself."

Loren looked around and cracked her knuckles.

Eddie remained smiling and staring at Her. She realized this and looked at Eddie funny tilted her head, "What?"

Eddie shook his head, knocking himself out of his trance.

"Nothing." he said walking away towards Nora and Kelly.

Loren watched him walk away.

He looks gorgeous! She thought

The little frisky girl in her just wanted to run up on him and tackle his god like self to the ground.

Loren grinned and walked over to Nora, Eddie, and Kelly.

Loren looked at her mom, "So what do we do now?"

Eddie answered for her, "My dad's talking to the chief, he said just to chill."

Loren bit her lip then complained, "How do we chill while we're on some crazy island, in some crazy village?" she sighed, "The celebration could end by them sacrificing us for all we know."

Eddie shook his head, "No, I got one of the ladies to tell me the story. Yesubai and her suitors are suppose to be gods of luck. That's why we're decked in gold. They go from village to village bringing good luck. They just take care of us, until we leave and we give them good luck in return." he explains.

Nora leans in surprised, "Are you sure?"

Eddie shrugged, "That's what she said."

Kelly beamed and ran her hand down her hair, twirling it around her fingers.

"Then let's party!" she screamed, running into the crowd.

Nora looked at her and sighed.

She grabbed Loren's hand with one hand and Eddie's with the other, "Stay close." she warned.

Then they walked into the crowd.

Left and right huge amazons are dancing around. Dancers are running around and almost everybody is playing with fire.

The trio had to almost get trampled on or burned a hundred time.

Nora just holds Eddie's and Loren's hands like a concerned mother. She makes way through the crowd looking for Kelly, Max, or Jake.

"There's Kelly!" Calls out Loren pointing into the crowd.

Nora shakes her head, "et her go we need to find Max."

Loren nods and keeps walking.

"Nora! Nora!" Screams Max's voice in the crowd.

Nora hears him and stops, to look around for him.

Max finally makes his way through, with Jake behind him and grabs Nora's cheek and kisses her.

"Where'd you go?" She asks.

"I was talking to chief and bad news." he yells over the crowd.

"Oh no, what?" yells Loren worried.

"Chief said this island is very small and this is the only village in it… we're on a deserted island.."

Eddie shakes his head and leans to talk in his dad's ear so he don't have to yell, "I could have told you that pops."

Max rubs his chin, "There's more, apparently we're good luck charms and-"

"We know. Eddie explained that too." Nora butted in.

"How are we going to get out of here?" Loren asked desperately.

Max bit his lip and starting thinking. He then grabbed everyone to huddle close.

He started to explain his plan, "We stay here tonight, and first thing tomorrow we head for the beach. We get chief to bring us supplies and furniture and say we need to be close to the ocean for some God reason."

"Then what?" asks Loren.

Max cocks his head, "Then we wait out there until we find a ship or airplane."

Everyone nods but a tear runs down Loren's cheek.

"Who knows how long that can take? If It ever does happen." she murmurs trying not to break down.

Eddie who is next to her wipes her cheek.

"It's gonna be fine." Eddie assures her.

Loren breaks away from the huddle and becomes hysterical.

She wails her hands in the air and starts yelling at Max, Nora, Eddie, and Jake.

"What if we never make it home? What if these giants decide to kill us! What if we're eaten by a tiger on the way to the beach? What if Eddie never remembers."

Tears are pouring down Loren's cheeks and she wipes them away, but more keep coming.

"You don't have the slightest clue on what's going to happen! And I'm not going to sit here and rest my fate on if a ship or plane is going to come by and see us!" She yells marching into the crowd away from them.

"Keep a eye on her!" Screams Nora.

Loren ignores her moms pleas, and the crowd. She pushes away the amazons and the god wannabe's and looks for privacy.

We're going to be stuck here forever! I refuse to be stuck here! I'm not playing the role of some helpless castaway.

Loren pushes an amazon who surprisingly falls on her face.

Oh crap.

Loren keeps running and crying through the crowd but stops when she finds the perimeter of the village and finally some private jungle.

She sighs in relief and walks into the moonlit jungle. She pushes aside vines and branches and trips several times.

She begins crying again, big heavy sobs.

She sees a nice welcoming log and sits on it, not worrying about getting her dress dirty.

She pulls up her dress and reveals stunning gold heels.

"Ulgh" Loren groans in disgust as she takes them off, then she moans on how great it feels without them.

I bet Eddie feels great without me..

Angrily, Loren throws her heels against a tree and makes a dent in the tree.

Really? The heels are stronger then the tree? Really? .

Loren slouches down and lays her head in her hands and continues sobbing.

I want to go home! I want to lay down in my tiny room in the valley and stare at my Eddie Duran poster! I want to hang out with my friends and not worry about paparazzi or my boyfriend getting thrown in prison! I want my boyfriend to remember me for Pete's sake! He's not even my boyfriend! He's my dang fiancé! But nobody knows and I'm completely miserable..

Loren sits there and sobs a few moments before she stops and looks up at the stars.

I wanna go back to sleep, At least Eddie still loves me in my dreams..

Loren looks back down at the ground and begins to sing melancholy.

"They say two wrongs are never righttt. But nothing's finall"

Loren stops and sniffles before continuing.

"A thousanddd thoughts a million tearsss. Until I smileeee."

Loren stops and starts sobbing vigorously.

She stops when she feels a warm hand on her back and a familiar voice singing, "When you run to fast you'll never see, the colors of every memory!"

Loren smiles and looks over to Eddie who is sitting beside her still singing, "Slow down the world live another dayyy."

Loren joins in singing the chorus, "I remember how it used to be, out there chasing cars and broken dreams, I told myself, don't look back, this is your life, someday I'm gonna fall inlove for the first time!"

Loren sniffles and grins at Eddie, she stops singing and just hugs him tightly.

He hugs her back and kisses the side of her head, while she buries her face in his warm chest.

Now she starts sobbing tears of joy.

"I gotchu." he says charmingly.
