Pacific Motel, Santa Cruz, CA
Adrian and Brian check into their room. Brian, with his eyes heavy needing rest after a long day, decides to shower up and head to bed. Adrian, on the other hand puts on his dark colored jacket and heads out. He jumps onto the top of the building and stares at the moon. A portal opens up beside him. Adrian quickly draws his sword in response to the distinct hum that the portals make when they open. However he quickly sheathes the blade when he sees in clearer view of whom the person is.
"Good evening, Adrian," Elise whispers. She sits down right beside Adrian.
"Nice to see you again, Elise," Adrian replies.
"Doesn't this place remind you of home."
"Yes it does. The rolling hills, the sand, the ocean, the lighthouse. It's almost like I never left. Other than the fact that this world's technology is much more advanced than that of our own."
"True," Elise replied. She looked up at Adrian, "why did you align yourself with the meddlesome children. Together we can bring this world under our control. Start our own empire together."
Adrian paused to think. He looked at Elise once more, he realized how much she changed. Her skin was much paler. Almost every characteristic about her represented spiders. whether it was her fanged teeth, or her black and red skirt and blouse that she always wore. One of the biggest changes was the different vibe that Adrian received from her. It was much colder and more calculating the sweet-hearted girl that he had somehow abandoned in Bilgewater. She was all together a different person than the one he once loved.
"Elise, the reason, I chose to stick with those kids was that I believe in them. I believe that somehow they will manage to change you back to the way you were."
Elise was infuriated by his statement. "Am I not the same person now as I was before you left?"
"No," Adrian replied, "and I hope that these kids will make you realize that, because I surely can't."
Elise, in rage, slapped Adrian across the face. Her pointed fingernails left tiny cuts on his face. She pointed her palm out and a portal opened. She stepped through it, and soon all was silent again. The waves crashed along the shore. The moon rose higher into the sky.
Author's Note: Sorry if this chapter was disappointingly short, I just haven't been able to write too many chapters, but the story continues. Sort of just threw this one in to clarify the relationship between Adrian and Elise. Hope you all enjoyed it.
