15.

Emotions, the feeling, everything is right, and nothing could make me feel this way. I don't think he knows how much I've been wanting to hold him, touch him, look him in his eyes, and talk to him face to face. These little things I wanted to do, but could never be done. He's such an ass hole, but for some reason he's so lovable.

Ha...

"Elysa…?I.. I still can't believe you're here." Kalas' face is so straight, I can see with his eyes he means this.

"You turned out way better than I thought you would." He faces me, "but just to make sure you're not a ghost.."

He stops and analyses my face.

"OWW?" I yell, "What the hell, Kalas!" I rub my eye. He had poked my in my eye; of course he would.

He shrugs, "I hadda make sure," he grins, then laughs shortly after.

I shrug it off, "Whatever," I start, "Kalas, I've been trying to find a way to get to your world since the day I left." I pause, "Since I left my life hasn't been right.. And now I feel better than I've ever felt."

"Hmm, you don't say."

"It's true. There hasn't been a day where I haven't thought about you. I mean, I dedicated our whole time together, me being your guardian spirit, to helping you avenge your grandfather and brother, and Helping you save your world, find the lost ocean… and it's whale! We went though a lot together and I did my best to keep you all alive.. And everybody else."

Kalas bows his head down, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have done it."

we stop walking and he grabs my other hand and we face each other again, "Fee would've been so proud of he knew you found the whale with me.. Seriously, thank you."

"Kalas!" I start tearing up, "I'm so happy and glad we did this."

"Damn," He says, "Did I poke you that hard that you're crying?"

"What?" I say, "No, wow, you ruined the moment, you loser." I wipe the tears off my eyes.

He comes and hold me, probably to shut me up. I now hope this all isn't just a dream, if it was, I'd rather live in the dream than in my world. His body is so welcoming, I feel at peace when I'm with him. He has a strong muscular build and he has to go down a bit to hug me. He's probably five inches taller than me. His blue hair and eyes never suited someone more than him, in our world, he'd be considered an outcast… all of them would, but who cares, I'm willing to stay here.

"Aside from everything Xelha did, I'm glad she brought you here.. more than anything." he says to me "I missed you, and I thought someone else be there to fill the emptiness I had."

I stare blankly at his face for a moment, It made me glad he felt the same emptiness that I did once we departed, maybe we were meant for each other.

"By the way, I asked some people who've bonded with spirits, and they never had the same feeling you and I did once we went our separate ways." he explains to me.

I knew it was something more. "Yeah, something was definitely different." I say.

I look at his eyes, the way the moon light reflects off his blue eyes and accents on his blue hair, I wish I could kiss him, like in the movies.. 'Kiss me, you fool!'

He smirks, "I can't believe that it's actually you." he tells me, "I'm convinced it is."

Suddenly my face inches closer his slowly, I place my hand on his jaw lightly allowing his face to come to mine, I don't know what came over me.

So close,

Why do I even like this idiot...

Then, I hear a noise.

We quickly stand a feet away from each other pretending nothing was happening to see Gibari approaching, causing Kalas to accidentally step on my foot.

"What the fuck, Kalas!" I say in pain, "OWW!"

He looks at me with a straight face, then burts out laughing, "Sorry, Elysa," he puts his arm around my shoulders, "You're fine."

"Yo! Aren't you both coming out? The night is still young!" Gibari yells.

Of course he comes, he's always cock blocking!

"A minute?!" Kalas demands, "Who asked you to come anyway!" he moaned.

"Relax kid!" Gibari yells, "You have plenty of time to catch up with Elysa later."

"Yes Gibari, We are coming." I start walking forward. I couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, we'll catch up with you in a minute." Kalas starts walking up too.

I wonder what he was thinking, or if he was even going to kiss me? He could have been trying to tell me a secret. Oh no, I looked like a complete fool! Why did I throw myself at him like that, he's probably not used to it…

"All of us are at your manor, Kalas." Gibari smirks.

"For what?!" Kalas says shocked.

"Xelha's having some sort of breakdown, we're just chilling there, and she wants to talk to Elysa."

"Oh, That's where I'm staying anyway." I say blankly.

"You are?" Kalas' face lights up "That's great."

I blush, but I couldn't help it.

I just came here and I'm already injured, but I gotta get though with it. Kalas guides me out the forest, following Gibari.

I wonder what she wants to talk to me about...

16.

Kalas, Gibari and I arrive at Xelha's house, the front door is made with beautiful glass and is probably a foot taller than I am. I open the door to this loud screeching sound and see no one in the front foyer.

"Could they be upstairs?" I look left and right to see if they'd be in the living room or kitchen.

"No, in Xelha's room… most likely" Kalas tells me.

"This place hasn't changed one bit," Gibari says to himself.

"Gibari, You could have gotten a new place if you told king Ladekhan you wanted to, huh?" Kalas questions, "I'm just sayin'... you don't gotta live in that little fish hole anymore."

"Ha" Gibari folds his hands, "But to tell you the truth, that's just not me. I'd rather still live in my small 'fish hole' where I started off, I'm still a fisherman, always will be."

"Yeah, I hear you." the blue haired agrees, "I really didn't care where we lived."

Standing there awkwardly, I didn't know to join in the conversation or just find Xelha myself. They still continue to talk, and its not a surprise because they are close buddies, so I walk around the main floor a bit to go on an adventure myself.

I walk into the kitchen and she has peachy granite countertops with white cupboards. The whole kitchen caught my eyes, there's a large window with a view of the ocean and the moonlight reflecting off of it. Right down from the kitchen there's a peachy fireplace, that has the fire going, with white couches, they look very expensive. There's pictures on every wall where there's not a view of the ocean and the lights are dimmed.

"Can I help you, Ma'am?"

I jump, and die a little inside. I turn around and see a tall, old man, about 6 foot, wearing dark clothing with an intimidating face, he doesn't seem to happy, or maybe its just his job. His deep voice startled me.

"Umm, No I… was just looking - sorry." I put my head down quickly and walk out the room as fast as I could.

"It's all right, you can look! I wasn't stopping you." He says with a smile.

I look back at him, "Oh!" I never knew he could smile, "Thanks sir, and you are?"

"Luther, but that isn't important. I'm curious what relation you are to madam Xelha?"

"I'm… just her friend." I say to him. He probably wouldnt believe me if I said I was a Guardian Spirit.

"Hmmm." He studies me. "I've never seen your face before."

I start to look a little nervous. "We...just met!"

I didn't know who this guy was, he could be a evil guy trying to get rid of me for all I know.

"Oh I see." He raises his eyebrows, "and would your name by chance be the Guardian Spirit from another realm that Madame Xelha was speaking about bringing?"

I look down. Crap, he got me. "I...am" I admit. "I didn't mean to lie sir, I just didn't think you'd believe me."

He smiles, "I know all about the friends adventures." he pauses, "The Guardian Spirit part isn't hard to believe, but the human form of a Guardian Spirit others may have a hard time believing."

Well, he was right about that. "Did anyone know I was a part of this whole thing?" I ask slowly.

I wondered if others knew I was there with the group too.

He looks at me, "My dear, not everyone believes in Guardian Spirits, so it's very hard to say."

"So basically I'm a nobody - is what you're saying."

"Most people won't believe that you are the spirit that was with that one winged fellah, probably because you most definitely aren't a 'spirit from another world' as they would say." he tells me.

I cannot lie, the old man had a point. Even if everyone does know, they wouldn't believe that I am the spirit who was with Kalas. It doesn't even matter if they know, because what good is it to me, I belong to another world, But I care so much for this one more than my own world.

"Your friend Kalas there, he didn't want anybody treating him differently.. He stated it clear to all the islands, he didn't want to be treated like a hero."

"He said that?"

My mouth widens, I never knew Kalas was like that. If he's like that, then why should I be complaining.

I rub my chin, "I see what you're saying mister, but the fact no one knew I helped… and I don't mean my human form me, but my spirit."

"Now now, remember you were not physically here, so people would probably forget anyway." He says to me. "but don't be discouraged miss...the young blue haired fellow did mention you to everybody."

I jumped, "He did?!"

"Yes. He said this wouldn't have been possible without the help of his Guardian Spirit."

"Wow!" I say "Kalas is amazing, isn't he?"

"Hmmm?" he says suspiciously.

My face goes from a cheerful smile to a slight frown, "Yeah, well.. He has the perfect ocean blue eyes that correspond with his beautiful blue hair, the smile that'll revive any flower from its soil, and the charm that'll turn a toad into a prince." I continue, "He'll turn any rainy day into a sunny sensation, and most importantly, a depressed girl into the most ecstatic woman before your eyes."

I caught all the words that slipped out of my mouth, "that's what Xelha said!"

He laughs, "How would you know?!"

"..I-I don't! I mean, she told me!" Fuck.

I got really defensive, I hope it wasn't obvious.

"I'm just pulling' your leg, Yeah he's got a lot of ladies after him. He's a handsome young man, just like myself when I was nineteen."

I wipe my forehead, "you're telling me! The minute I found out I was his guardian spirit-"

His eyebrow raises as I cut off what I say, He might start thinking things, I got to cool it down a bit. I start fanning myself, and swallow spit.

"I couldn't wait to aid him in his journey." I finish.

He doesn't seem convinced, I wish someone would pop in the room right now. I look over slightly to the foyer and see Kalas and Gibari sitting on the stairs laughing and talking in a deep conversation; So much for seeing Xelha. Only thing left to do is change the subject.

"Um, Mister…" I gotta bullshit a story. "Me being Kalas' good friend, do you think him and Xelha are a good match - like, how well do they get along- I'm guessing zero problems for those two, right?!"

"Dear," He leans in closer to me, like he's about to give me a lecture, "I see right though you."

Damn, he can't be serious! Holy shit what do I say?! If he knows I like Kalas, He'll probably snitch and tell Xelha…

"Yo, Elysa!"

I heard Gibari calling me from the foyer, that was the best timing anyone could ask for.

"Coming!"

I run over to him and don't say another thing to him, I hope he's just joking with me again, I'll have to find out some other time.

I feel his eyes watching my spine as I leave.

18.

Wiping the stress sweat from my face, I'm just glad Gibari got me out that situation, even though they had no idea what I was talking about in there. We start making our way up the long set of stairs.

"Hey Elysa, what were you and that Luther talking about in there?" Kalas reminds me his name was Luther, I kept calling him Mister.

"Just the manor itself, Xelha, everyone, nothing really." I couldn't sacrifice myself.

"I see," He looks my way, "Sorry for keeping you, Gibari and I had to catch up on a couple of stuff."

"Oh, It's cool! I totally understand" I smile, "I was just taking a look around."

Kalas laughs, we finally reach the top of the stairs, "You've always been so understanding, it's what I have always liked about you."

Liked.

"It's who I am!" I say while I send a sarcastic laugh.

Liked? Is that the only thing he liked about me?

Gibari laughs, "Yeah… You were so quick to take back Kalas after him going nuts. Both you and Xelha!"

I blush and laugh along with him too, "Of course, I have to stick with Kalas no matter what…."

Kalas looked at me with a warm feeling, "Hearing you say that just made me-"

"Guys! You finally came!"

Are you kidding me?!
She cannot be serious.
Seriously?
She's the biggest cock blocker in the world, aside from Gibari.
My mood went from 'ecstatic' to 'I want to smother you in Greythorne poop'. She couldn't have picked a better timing than that very second.

The door busted open unexpectedly, I guess she heard us coming up the stairs.

Xelha opened the door, "I've been waiting for you guys for awhile, please come join me in my room."

Thinking of every bad word in my head, she opens the door and I see her bed has a white veil all around her room with a crystal chandelier on her ceiling. Her floor was reflective, (not so good because I'm wearing a skirt, but good thing its not like a mirror) and a bed for Meemai was in the corner. Her room was outstanding, just like the rest of her house. It smelt like mint chocolate oddly enough.

I took a deep breath, "Impressive, I didn't expect anything less. Xelha." I tell her.

Kalas walks ahead of me, "Yeah, as you both already know, she designed this house." he high fives her.

She chuckles, returning it back to him. "Yeah, because you didn't want to!" she smiles, "Oh, and someone's here for you Gibari!" Xelha invites us in.

"Hm?" Gibari looks around to see one but us four in the room.

I know whenever she does that sleazy voice its obvious. The backdoor to the balcony opens as the winds override and the curtains flow back as does the luscious dark hair on the woman who is coming in; Savyna.

Gibari looks like he doesn't know to be shocked or happy. "S-Savyna? How'd you know we would be here?"

She slowly walks up to him and pushes her hair out of her face.

"That isn't important." she puts her hand on his face, while he puts his hand on top of her hand; they stare into each others eyes.

Savyna I always thought was a bit mysterious, and so did everybody else, but I guess Gibari likes that. I missed all six of them, well, I guess you can say five.

"Hey Savyna!" I smile, and I'll see if she can guess who I am.

"Hmm? I know that presence from anywhere. Elysa, it's good to re-connect from your absence. How did you come here in a human exterior?"

Same old Savyna. "Xelha brought me here with her witchcraft."

Am I being offensive? No. I could've said Xelha brought me here with her Demon craft. Ha Ha...

"well, I guess you could say that…" Xelha forces a smile.

I know I offended her but she's begging to talk to me.

I roll my eyes and smile, Savyna grins, "I see."

I didn't expect her to hug me, she didn't seem like the affectionate type, but she did. She walked up to me and wrapped her arms around her neck to pull me close, like what your big brother would do to hug you.

She starts walking back over to Gibari, from looking at the two of them, I already knew they'd be soul mates for each other, and I know they are together now. Gibari turns Savyna around and holds her from her back. She puts her hands on top of his that lay over her stomach. Savyna's never looked so happy, it looks like she's found actual meaning in her life other than to fight and kill.

Kalas groans in the background, "Aw man, here it comes." he comments in an annoyed voice, "You two are always attatched to each other!"

"Can it." Savyna says violently, agressively turning her head to Kalas.

"Whoa, you got it, boss." he mumbles under his breath, looking away.

Xelha looks over at Kalas, like he wanted her to do that to her. I snickered a bit because she's pathetic.

He notices and turns back towards her, "What is it Xelha?"

He's either totally oblivious or really doesn't want to, either way, I'm glad!

"Oh, Nothing." Xelha blushes.

I just can't right now.

"You two are adorable, I always thought you two would end up together!" I blurt out to Gibari and Savyna, but it's true.

"Ha Ha, thanks Elysa!" Gibari laughs, "So… who have you found interest in?" he jokingly asks.

That's when a car skidding noise goes on in my head. I couldn't help but glance over at Kalas for a quick second, then glance at Xelha who was of course giving me a look I can't describe, then look back at Gibari. Of course I just wanted to say: Kalas, we were meant to be, not him and that mouse faced cunt. But I have more class than that.

Guys I know what you're thinking!

You: "Why is the Guardian Angel such an ass hole!" Well I know you guys get pissed off and think mean things too sometimes, come on, am I the only one?!

"I- No one." Perfect, they can't suspect more or less. This is the perfect time for me to change the subject.

"Xelha! You wanted to speak to me?"

"She sits up from the bed, "Yes, I did, Please I'll have Luther escort you to the nearest room."

Damn, The last person I wanted to see was this guy.

"Luther, could you please escort Elysa to the next room so I can prepare myself?"

Luther's head pops in through the creek of the door. "Anything for you, Madame!" He puts his hand out to lead me into the next room, I plan not to say anything.

There's a bit of an awkward silence as we walk, then he breaks it.

"Miss Elysa,"

Damn.

"if you can spare me the time on any upcoming date; I'll be glad to share a story with you. I'm sure you might like it, or even relate to you."

I thought he was going to say something related to Kalas and I, thank God.

I look up at him, "Thank you, Luther, I'm interested into hearing your story."

"I must say I'm so glad to hear you say that." He smiles at me and opens the door for me, "Here's the room Miss Xelha would like to meet with you in.''

I look in the room and see four large chairs with a table in the middle with tea set up. The room is beautiful no surprise, I guess we are having tea.

"Thanks, Luther, can you draw my bath for me for later?" I haven't bathed since I got here this morning. I don't know how some people can't bathe.

"I can do that. I'll see you in the morning Miss Elysa."

"Goodnight Luther." I smile as I close the door. He put me in a good mood, aside from being in Xelha's room. I don't like having hate towards someone, but she basically said what she said to make me mad, but I'll hear what she has to say because there are some things she's done for me, so the least I can do is hear her out.

He isn't as bad as I thought. I'm intrigued in what his story might be. I sit down and a hear a loud squeaking noise from the seat, I look and notice the couch is covered with the plastic to protect the sofa itself. I attempt to get comfortable. I look in the tea pot to see no tea in it; no surprise.

What could be taking her so long? Prepare herself? For what? I wish she'd just hurry up. I look over to the direction of the door and see it open slightly;

Its her.

19.

She walks in and sighs while taking her seat in front of me.

"Elysa, even this apology I'm about to give you cannot express how I feel and how truly sorry I am about saying that."

I know a few more sentences and she's going to cry, I can tell she actually means what she's saying, and Xelha knows she cannot be on my bad side for everything I've done for her.

"Hey, Xelha…. It's alright."

I don't want to see water works.

"I know you really hope something more out of Kalas and you, it's what caring does. Worry not, just know not to when it comes to that, okay?"

"I know, and yes, okay!" A smile comes up on her face, and so does mine.

"I can do that." she says.

"Good, but I must tell you, Kalas and I are going to be around each other a lot. You understand that... don't you?"

"Yeah, I do now. You and Kalas are very close, and I realize that now."

"Yeah, I was the one who was originally bonded with him…I just miss him a lot." I wipe my eyes.

"Xelha…" Her eyes widen, and my lips tremble. "You're really lucky… t-to have a guy like Kalas." I stumble over some words, when I talk about him I get a bit trippy - I guess. My hands start getting clammy.

"Do you mind?" I lift up the tea cup, that's my way of asking if I can jut make some tea.

"No, Please go ahead" Xelha doesn't seem phased. "Elysa, I have to admit, I've…" She pauses.

I stand with my back faced to her for a moment wondering if she'll say anything, the clanking of the tea cups against the mini plates makes it more awkward. I turn around from the kettle and see her looking shy and sad. Then she finally speaks.

"I've always been somewhat jealous… of you."

My hands jerk up causing some hot water to splash on me on my wrist. I turn to face her dramatically.

"Not somewhat, I am very jealous of you!" she admits.

I turn back so fast I could get whiplash. "Jealous of me? Why on earth would you be jealous of me? Come on now!"

She plays with her feet as if she's embarrassed, and I'm sure she is.

"You were always with Kalas, he always came to you for advice - and before you say anything like how you were his guardian spirit, it is jealousy from someone who loves Kalas."

The room is silent, what was I supposed to say?

"Yes, even a mere spirit I was jealous of, might I admit.. Someone who's presence was only here guarding her friends.."

I thought of my next words carefully...I was still kind of confused.

"So why did you bring me back? To this world? In my human form… wouldn't that be the biggest threat to you?"

"I care about Kalas too much to be selfish, I have to admit, I am insecure of myself since he confessed his feelings to Trill." Xelha stands up, "You were the only way to complete him, and I'm sure you felt the same way!" Xelha paces back and forth, "I know you were protecting us, I know you were doing your job and I'm truly grateful that you've come into all our lives...but Kalas needs you."

I pour the hot water from the kettle into the tea cup placing the tea bag inside. I watch as the transparent liquid slowly changes darker in colour, almost like a dark embrace.

"So everything between us is a lie?" I sip my tea calmly, because I couldn't care less if she used me any more.

"No Elysa, that isn't true!" I see a tear strip down her face. "No, no, no! Elysa, you helped our world in our time of need, I could never dislike you in any way." she wipes her tears, "I came from Wazn on a mission.. A mission to stop Geldoblame from his evil ambitions.. Without you it couldn't have been done, so you, as of now, are the true title to royalty in my eyes." she explains.

I sit down calmly waiting, she gets on her knees and bows her head down, "As the woman who saved all of us, I'm sorry for making it seem-"

"Oh shut up, Xelha!" I cut her off with what it sees to be harsh words. "Don't come to me with that, talk to me as you would one of your friends, not no high and mighty royalty figure, please. I'm just a regular girl."

Xelha looks up at me and her sadness wipes away, "I love that about you, Elysa." She gets up from the floor, "I figured bring you back would be a great way for all of us to re-unite again, but it wasn't easy."

"How'd you do it?"

"I contacted the witches in Wazn, we went to the Library of Magic to look for a book hidden deep within the library called "Transparency Spells and Hidden portals", it's a rare book known well by witches, it look 4 witches to commence the spell, and sight a prayer, to contact other worlds; that's when I contacted you of the planet Earth, and since we had bonded before, it also made it work.. This is actually the first time I know that it worked, it was a shot in the dark."

"What?" I say, "the first time, that's weird. Why this time?"

"I don't know." she says calmly, "but I do need to report that your come back was successful to the Witches. They'd be so happy to hear!"

"All right." I say, "I'm sure that was a hard process, but I'm very grateful you've brought me back, Xelha." I smile, "For whatever reason it might be, It was killing me I couldn't see you guys again."

"I'm honored, Elysa, Thank you." She comes over and hugs me, "I want you to stay for as long as possible, you're like a best friend to me."

"Aww, Xelha!" I smile and hug her once more. I felt warm inside. "Its all good now, I'm glad we got this all sorted out."

"We should go re-join the others." Xelha takes my hand and we walk out.

I can't say I feel bad for the feelings I feel for Kalas, but she doesn't need to know….

I'm sorry.

i appreciate you reviewing, please continue to review as much as you'd like!

Thanks once again, I'll post another chapter soon.
