Don't You Fake It

Chapter II: Leave Out All The Rest

Everyone looked behind them, a man stood at the top of the stairs holding his golden cane. He wore a a dark suit and had many rings on, his hair was gone and he had many scars on his body but thats not what made Eli's skin crawl. All over his face was old KG tattoos, all over the arena old KG stood at attetion as he walked down the stairs.

"Ahh it's good to be back, eh?" The man said snapping his fingers, a girl wearing only a biniki top and bottoms came down and took his gloves. "How long has it been? I personally say too long." He chuckled and stopped at the base of the arena.

"What do you want, Lange?" Jak growled, he glared at all the KG standing. "Sit. You tratiors!" He shouted, the man named Lange laughed.

"Dark Eco Freak, just stop. They won't sit for ya." Lange smirked and looked at Erol. "They all know why I'm here." He turned to them. "Code of the 100?"

"STAND AS ONE, DIE TOGETHER." A roar came from around the arena, even Erol was standing and replied with power. Lange turned around and smiled.

"You know what they mean." Jak growled at the man as the Precusors exchanged glances with each other and Seem and Samos, the Precusors sighed and the Leader covered his face.

"We'll talk about this..." The Leader said glancing to Jak. "But for now, we let Erol Kanna go. Erol will be bought back to discuss furture punishment." An uproar of voices came from all around the arena, people shouting in anger or cheering in happiness. Wether it may be, a group of teens stood slowly and slinked out of the place.

Seth sat on the front step of the house, he missed the trial of his days. He stared at the ground as the city was empty, he slept right through the trial and his alarm clock. He kicked up the dirt on the ground, his bare feet were finally warming up from sleeping inside the house. Keira needed the AC on all the time, so the house was freezing. He wore only a pair of a tanned shorts; when Seth glanced up he saw the group walking towards the house. Seth stood and ran to his friends, he stopped as they didn't stop or look up to him. They kept walking not saying anything about the trial.

The hard truth smacked Seth across the face.

Seth stared at the people coming out of the arena dumbstruck, some were looking downwards and others sang and danced in the streets. He knew better.

Erol was free.

Seth ran after his friends. "Hey!" Seth shouted. "What happened?" None of them answered as they entered the Mar household, Seth growled as he followed them up the stairs. "Tell me what happened! You guys!"

"It doesn't matter." Jahen grumbled sitting on the couch, he turned the TV on and started to flick through the channels. "Just amuse the worse, Seth."

"But it makes no sense!" Seth shouted. "Why did they let him go?"

"Surpise stupid witness, someone named Lange." Kahen mubbled. "Do you have a computer?" Seth motioned over to the cornor as Grante wandered off, Eli watched her for a second before following her. Seth rubbed the back of his head and sat on the couch beside Jahen, he tried to calm down.

"What do you think is gonna happen, now?"

"Hell?" Ryren and Obby suggested together.

Upstairs Grante slipped into Eli's room, she didn't bother shutting the door behind her and sat down on the bed. Eli entered and closed the door behind him, he stared at her for a mintue as she ran her fingers through her hair.

"Are you okay?" Eli said as Grante stared down at her feet.

"I don't know..." She whispered. "Did that just happen?" She whispered looking up to him, Eli shrugged and walked over to her. A small smile appeared on her face. "I'm some what happy." Eli stared at her stuned, her face was still down as her teeth appeared.

"You're lying." Grante's smiled got bigger as she twisted her hair.

"No... I'm not." Eli grabbed Grante's wrist and stared at her dead in the eyes.

"Grante! You've got to be joking!"

"I'm not." She said as her smile got smaller. "Elijah you'e hurting me."

"He tried to kill you! All of us! He wanted us dead, he shot you and hexed Seth!"

"People make mistakes Elijah," Grante said. "And its called forgiveness." She winced as he grabbed her shoulders, he started to shake her.

"Some people shouldn't be forgiven." Eli growled.

"So when is it right to forgive a person? You can't hold a grudge forever can you?"

"I sure can." Eli said pushing her down.

"This sure is a new side of you, Elijah. Sure Erol tried to kill me but he is my father." Grante said as Eli felt his blood boil over, he covered her mouth and glared down at her.

When my time comes...

"That's one thing we hate about you." Grante's face paled as his body changed, his hand, now sharpened to claws, ran down her arm leaving tiny driplets of blood on her pale skin. His other hand came away from her mouth as his mouth went to her neck, the hand travelled down to her waist.

Forget the wrong that I've done...

"Elijah..." Grante choked out, pain darkened her vision and gave her a weak feeling. "Stop... you're hurting me." Eli changed back but didn't quit, once he was back to normal. Eli's mouth came away from Grante's neck, she shoved him off of her and pulled out her pistol. Her face was full of hate and anger now, Eli stared at her as she loaded her gun. "Damned Dark Eco Freak." Grante growled, Eli's nature took over and he tackled her. He grabbed the gun with one hand and her neck with the other, pinning her to the bed with his knees he glared down to her.

Help me leave behind some...

"Dark Eco Freak?" Eli growled.

Reasons to be missed...

"I'm not scared of your power." Grante growled back, Eli chuckled and got off of her. He opened his door and motioned out of it.

Don't resent me...

"Get out Grante. Right now, and don't come back." Grante clenched her fist and stood.

And when you're feeling empty...

"Fine." She said walking out of his room and down the hall, the two didn't talk to each other as they left the building. Once outside, Grante turned back and looked at him when he called her name.

Keep me in your memory...

"Don't forgive me okay?"

Leave out all the rest...

"Wasn't planning on it." Grante growled walking away. Once away from the Mar Household she started to run wipping the tears off her face. He basically cursed her family name and she couldn't even respond with something, anything would be better then just running off without a single word or a snappy remark! She kept running until she came to her car, the Butterfly, she got in and drove right out of the city not even glancing back. She took out her phone and phoned her mother, after the second ring her mother picked up.

:Hello?:

"Mom?" Grante sniffed. "I'll be in the Forgotten City when its time for us to leave, 'kay?"

:'kay Grante. Is everything okay?:

"Everything is peachy." Grante growled as she rolled into the Forgotten City, once in the city fresh tears filled her eyes as she sat back in her seat. Her hands stayed on the wheel as her brain went replayed everything Eli said to her, all the hurtful and shameful things. All the things he wanted to say were just thrown at her in a huge ball of hate, and who really controlled him? His dark side or him? She licked her lips and wipped away fresh tears, a couple of people passing by stared at her and whispered within their small groups.

"Grante? Sweety is that you?" Grante looked up when she heard her mother's voice, Montley came towards the car as Grante got out slowly. Her mother dropped to her knees infront of her and wiped away any tears that were left, her long blonde hair flew around her hair like a halo. "Grante what happened, did you and Elijah get into a fight?"

"Its not important?" Grante whispered letting more tears fall. "I just wanna go home."

"Of course honey." Montley said as a EG came out and took the Butterfly, Grante got into the huge car and sat beside her mother. On the other side was Nickle, once again in a suit but beside him was a man in an orange jumpsuit.

"Erol's coming to live with us?" Grante asked Montley, the blonde lady petted her hair.

"Yes sweety, hush try to sleep." Grante leaned her head on her mother's shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Seth, what are you doing here?" Daara said coming down the stairs, she wore a long black dress with green trim at the bottom. Black gloves covered her arms, her brown hair was short but had some snow in it. Seth smiled up at Daara, he held out a flower to her.

"I wanted to say sorry for what I said two months ago, sorry I'm so late."

"Better to be late then not show up at all." Daara took it and looked at the white flower, she touched its petals and smiled. "Its beautiful," She said with a smile. "Do you want to take a walk in the frozen maze?" Seth wrinkled his nose.

"A maze?" Daara laughed and linked arms with him.

"Yes, a maze do not worry I will not let you get lost."

"Goodie." Seth grumbled as they passed by many childern, they all ran up to them showing them little things they made or found. Seth stared as the childern went off to play again, Daara smile petting the flower. "Where do all the childern come from?"

"Most are oprhans and others, their parents drop them off in hopes they'll join the Precusors." Seth sighed and followed Daara into the maze, the maze was made out of small brushes and had snow, ice and small things hanging from it. The maze went high above their heads, half way into the maze Seth took Daara's hand and went on walking.

"So you've heard the news?" Seth asked, Daara nodded.

"Who hasn't?" Daara smelt her flower. "The wind carried the news to the elders and they told some of us." Daara smirked. "I can imagne how Seem is taking it. Tell me how is Jak?"

"I wouldn't know, I left before I got to see him. I think Eli and Grante broke up."

"Wouldn't surpize me." Daara said climbing up steps, Seth followed her as she entered a enterance. She went to a benech and sat down, beside the benech was a tree with dark green leaves. She reached up and touched a leaf hanging by a broken branch, Seth sat beside her. "It saw that coming,"

"It?" Seth asked puzzled.

"Yes." Daara said turning to Seth. "It lives in the basement of the Temple, It can travel from city to city through labyrinths It's made." Daara looked at him. "It needs human blood to live."

"Why are you telling me this." Daara leaned to him and went to his ear, she whispered something in a low voice and Seth's eyes widened. "Daara!" He shouted as she backed up blushing. "You've got to be joking." Daara shook her head.

"I'm not. I don't know when it'll happen but you have to help me, I'll give you something in return!"

"What?" Seth asked, Daara brushed back some of her hair as a person came up the stairs. She stood and fixed her dress, the person wore a pair of black pants and a dress shirt. He took off his jacket and put it on Daara's shoulders, she whinced as he did it and sighed.

"Mistress Daara! How could you just run off? Stay close next time!"

"I'm fine, Slade." Daara said glancing to Seth. "Just talking to a friend."

"See ya Daara," Seth said walking off. "I'll be back next week... or sooner."
