CHAPTER 114
"I should be asking you that," she told him. "You've been asleep for three days."
"Hey," called Nero from the living room, drawing their attention to him. Neither one had known that he was still semi-conscious. "It's not that I mind the happy moment or anything, but I'd really like to get home." He attempted to sit up, cringed, and fell back to the couch.
"Don't move," warned Jaida as she walked towards him, followed by Arius. "You broke a few ribs, so it'd be best if you stay still. My teacher, Mr. Owens, said he'd come over and see just how bad it is. If worst comes to worst, we'll have to take you to a hospital." Nero just sighed, a small smile now on his face.
"Guess that'd be alright," he said, closing his eyes again. "I'd rather go home though."
"Too bad," stated Arius. "You're the only one who can open the gate." Nero just laughed a bit, wishing he hadn't. Laughing hurt quite a bit right now.<

The door to Jaida's house opened, and Arius walked out, his hands in his pockets. All of them were now standing outside behind Jaida's house. Each house had a small backyard, and hers was rather closed in. No one would see them there."Okay, let's get started," said Nero. Arius just scowled a bit."I hate to break it to you," he began, "but we may have a problem.""What?" asked Jaida, confused. They had planned this all out. There wasn't a single problem in their plan unless the spell was complicated, which it wasn't. Just what was he talking about?"Watch," he told them. He extended his arm, aiming his palm towards them. His eyes narrowed, and he focused on his hand. It began shaking, and soon, small streams of electricity danced around his arm. The keystone around his neck began glowing softly, and the hints of magic quickly faded, sending a small shock into his hand. He pulled it back and cringed

Arius opened his mouth to say something but instead clamped it shut, pursing his lips. He wasn't sure how to respond to that. She was always so honest with him. She was going to miss him when he was gone, and he had to admit that he'd feel the same. He didn't really want to go home anymore. Desy wasn't even his home. He spent most of his time on other planets. He didn't really have a home. He couldn't help but think that this planet, the Earth, would make a good place to live. That way he could be close to Jaida.Arius just sighed and stood up, flexing his already spread wings. He noticed that Jaida was still filming him, a smile on her face. He decided to give her something fun to film. She loved the stars, so he would take her up again. He hadn't done so in a long time."Do you wanna see the stars?" he asked her. She stood up and nodded, a bright smile on her face.

He glanced down at his female companion, noticing that her breathing had slowed greatly. She had fallen into a comfortable sleep, a smile still on her face. She was a beautiful woman, both in body and spirit. She was simply amazing, a human that was in no way naïve. She had believed his story almost instantly, not seeming shocked or bothered by it at all. She had been so willing to help him out. She really was one of a kind.He carefully moved, shifting her a bit. He then effortlessly picked her up, cradling her petite body in his arms. She looked so unburdened, so perfect. As he went back through his window and walked towards Jaida's room, he kept his eyes on her, and he realized something. He wanted to keep seeing her, to wake up everyday and know that she'd be there with him. He had never been attached to someone like this before. He had never wanted to be, but he just couldn't help it. He loved her. What would his f

Arius felt a lump form in his throat as Lucius made his threat. That did it. Now there was no way for him to refuse. He had to do this. Jaida's life depended on it. He would rather die trying than watch helplessly as Lucius killed her. In order to protect her, he had to accept the battle terms."Fine," he said softly. "I accept." Lucius just smirked, his body starting to fade into the darkness."Don't forget," he warned Arius. "Seven days. If you don't show, I'll hunt you down, and I'll kill the girl…slowly and painfully…and you won't be able to do anything about it." And with that said, he left Arius alone in the darkness. However, it was a bit too late. He wouldn't be able to get any sleep now.Arius' eyes opened, and he slowly sat up, rubbing them a bit. He dropped his arms to his sides and turned his attention to the sheets of h

Arius' eyes slowly opened for the second time that night. He found that the sunlight hadn't quite reached his bed yet, so he'd make sure it never got the chance. He had been blinded once before thanks to sleeping in late. Currently it was seven o'clock, still relatively early. He hadn't gotten much sleep last night at all, so his body was begging him to just close his eyes for a few more minutes. However, all he needed was a good cup of coffee, and he'd be fine.Arius got up and quickly changed out of his clothes from yesterday. He put on black pants, his only red shirt, and a light over shirt. Red and black definitely suited him according to Jaida. She said the colors really brought out his eyes and complexion. He really didn't care. He got enough stares from people without highlighting himself.He quietly left the confines of his room and walked down the stairs towards the kitchen. By now Jaida's mothe

Arius and Jaida walked out of a rather nice looking restaurant. They had just had breakfast, and both would be full well past lunch. Jaida had picked a pancake house, and as promised, Arius didn't complain. After all, there was such a thing as chocolate chip pancakes. Needless to say he had enjoyed himself.Now they really didn't have much to do. Jaida was the one picking their events for the day. It was up to her as to where they would go, and without any surprise involved, she picked the park. Arius didn't mind. He at least wanted to walk through it once more before leaving the city forever. Hopefully that wouldn't be the case. He wanted to come back. He wanted to see all of this again someday. He wanted to see Jaida again someday. He had to survive the war. He had to come back."Arius, look!" exclaimed Jaida in slight excitement. She was pointing across the area,

Currently they were making their way through the busy streets, and Arius was starting to get a bit frustrated. The eyes that kept following him were starting to become a nuisance. He just wanted some time alone with Jaida, and even though none of these people were directly involved with them, he hated how they seemed to crowd his personal space. Didn't they realize that he needed at least fifty feet in every direction? They were far past that line."Hey Jai," he began, drawing her attention. "Let's go somewhere else." She gave him a rather confused look, not fully understanding what he wanted to do."Go where?" she asked him. "We've been to quite a few places already.""Let's leave the city.""W-what? How?" He stopped walking and turned towards her. He only spared her a glance before look
A Chance Encounter CHAPTER 122
Through this whole day, he had been waiting for the perfect moment to tell her everything, to admit just how much he cared about her. However, now that the opportunity had presented itself, he couldn't find the words he wanted. He couldn't even call out to her in order to attempt explaining himself. He had brought her out here for a reason. He had wanted some privacy so he could tell her exactly how he felt, exactly why he didn't want to go home now. He needed to "make amends" as Mr. Owens had put it, and this was where he wanted to start. He wanted to tell Jaida how much he loved her."Um…" he began a bit softly, trying to work up enough courage to even say her name. He was never nervous like this. He had no idea what was wrong with him. It's not like it was that hard to say, right? Just four little words. "J-jaida?" Well, one down. Now he only had three left."Yeah?" she asked, turning towards h
