Chapter 15: new people
I stared at the girl who had her knife to my neck "Katie?" a boy asked, stepping forward "why on earth did you attack him?"
"Free stuff?" Katie said jokingly. She got up, putting her knife away "sorry, I like messing with people"
I rubbed my neck. She had pressed pretty hard, and had actually drawn blood "I think you went a bit too far" I said, wincing as talking hurt my neck.
"And you wonder why I don't give you a sword" the boy said.
"Hey, just because we're sticking together, doesn't mean you can boss me around!" Katie said. I could tell she either used to hate him, or still did.
He rolled his eyes "need a bandage?" the boy asked.
"I'm good" I said "I don't trust things from strangers"
"I don't blame you" he said "I'm Evan, by the way"
"I'm Alex" I said.
"And everyone else?" he asked.
"Blazette is the one wearing brown, Elda is the one in black, Maillie is the one in beige, and Aqua is the girl in blue"
"Nice to meet you girls" Evan said.
"Same *hic* to you" Aqua said. I swear, her hiccups were getting worse.
"How long until the ship gets here?" Elda asked.
"Wait, you guys have a ship?" Katie asked "like, an air ship?"
"Yea" Maillie said "these guys actually ended up my prisoner when we met"
Before anyone could say anything, the ship came into view "A few hours, huh?" I asked
"I said it COULD take a few hours" Maillie replied "I guess the blazes worked overtime"
We climbed into the ship, and it hit me how tired I was "I'm going to take a nap" I said, yawning.
"We should be back when you wake up" Maillie said "have a nice rest"
I nodded and walked to the nearest clean bed, and immediately collapsed into it. I fell asleep immediately.
I woke up on the ground. The air was filled with smoke, and I could smell the gunpowder. Through my power suit, I could see the area was dark, and the room wasn't really a room.
"Alex! You're ok!" Aqua hugged me "I was afraid you were done for!"
"w-what happened?" I asked.
"I finally got the dragon down" Maillie said. Her face was covered with ash "the portal is ready"
I was lead to a large portal, surrounded by bedrock "wait…the End?" I asked.
"We opened it a while ago, remember?" Maillie said "you must have amnesia"
I blinked. Evan, Elda, Blazette, and Katie were standing by the portal, different expressions on their faces.
"Please don't go!" Elda pleaded, tears in her eyes.
"We have to" Aqua said, not letting me reply.
She jumped into the portal, disappearing. I stepped up and looked at the others "thank you for everything" I said, feeling like this was my last time seeing them.
"ALEX DON'T GO!" Elda screamed, bursting into tears. I could see Maillie was barely controlling herself. Blazette had the emotionless expression she wore when trying not to show a weakness, and even Evan and Katie seemed sad that I was going.
"I have to…" I said.
"Alex, wait!" Maillie said, but I had already jumped…and got trapped in a world of void.
Shapes were everywhere, menacing creatures that could destroy me. This wasn't a portal out, this was a portal to death! I was pulled in every direction, and suddenly, a shadow covered me…
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed as I woke up.
Everyone was looking at me. Blankets and pillows were everywhere, and I was drenched in cold sweat. "Alex?" Maillie asked gently "what happened?"
I tried to speak, but my voice wouldn't work. "Well, we're near the house, right Maillie?" Blazette asked, obviously changing the subject.
"Uh, yea" Maillie said "we can explore a little later, but we need to recover"
"*hic* we should *hic* make rooms *hic* for Katie *hic* and Evan!" Aqua said. Yea, her hiccups were getting really bad.
"We also need to cure your hiccups" Blazette said.
"Yea…let's get out" I said. We climbed down, and I remembered no one else had power suits "maybe we should make power suits for everyone"
"No, I don't want you wasting your resources" Maillie said "if we don't need it, then we shouldn't get it"
"That's fine" I said "I'm going to mess with the suits a bit"
The others walked off together, except for Aqua who wanted to stay with me, and Evan, who wanted to get away from Katie. Their company was nice, but Aqua's constant hiccupping was getting on Evans nerves.
"Can you stop for 2 seconds?" Evan asked in annoyance.
"It's not *hic* like it *hic* doesn't hurt *hic* me too!" Aqua retorted.
"Can you guys stop fighting long enough for me to focus?" I asked.
Evan sighed "you're right, no reason to make another girl hate me" he said. Aqua just hiccupped loudly.
"So it wasn't just me, she really hates you?" I asked.
"Yea" Evan said "though she's learned not to show it"
"She doesn't do a very good job" I said.
"It doesn't help that I have the biggest crush on her" Evan said.
"I *hic* can relate *hic* to that *hic*" Aqua said "at least *hic* I think *hic* I can"
"I never hated you Aqua" I said "I just didn't know you had a crush on me"
"Can we not go into that" Evan said "I'd rather not be the reason you started fighting"
"Don't worry about it" I said, then I yawned "I think I'm going to bed"
"Ok, night" Evan said. Aqua just hiccupped loudly in reply.
I went to bed, but couldn't sleep from Aqua's loud hiccups. I loved her to death, but I couldn't stand how loud she was being.
"Come on, let's get you some water" I heard Evan say, then I heard her hiccups fade away.
Soon enough, I fell asleep, thinking about how many other people I might find…
Wow, two chapters in one day! It's almost been a year since I joined, wow! Unfortunately, I've never tried writing fan fiction in the summer, so I don't know if I'll be active or not. However, I DO know I'll be encouraged to write if I get reviews. Remember: I love criticism, reviews encourage me, and I'm open to input. Bye for now!
