Chapter twelve: Choices

 

when you walk away

            Yu scurried up to his full height and ran down the corridor. He followed a white blur that flew down the halls. He thought, that maybe if he had told Eiko maybe she wouldn’t have ended up leaving with Lloyd.

            He ran as fast as his legs would let him, his feet pounding across the ground. He could hear Tatsumi shrieking in the distance and others way behind him. He was so close to the white blur, but he wasn’t sure where to reach for Eiko. It was all white...how was he to find her?

            He wondered, to let out his wings to save her or just let her go? He could do either, but that was his only choices. He wished that he would have had another choice. What to do?

            If he let out his wings, it would confirm that and maybe even Eiko wouldn’t want to come back to him. Or maybe, if she saw him for what he really was, she would.

            If he kept going and didn’t recover Eiko, he would feel remorse for the rest of his life. However, if he waited long enough to save her. BUT, what if Lloyd had decided to kill her before he had a chance to do so? That would certainly put a dent in his plans. Yet, he had seen the way Lloyd had looked at her when they had stood in frozen time. He wouldn’t really kill her if he had looked at her in such a way as he did, right?

            The blur disappeared out the entrance and into the morning light. He ran out the entrance and looked up, blinded by the sun, he looked down and the looked back up. Everything was still. The blur was gone. What had he done?

            He dropped to the ground, and onto his knees. He felt like screaming. How hurt inside he had become. Never did he realize how bad he would feel when Eiko left. He now realized that he had enveloped his life and soul around her. What was he to do?

You don’t hear me say please

            Lumiale and Tatsumi were the first to spring out of the entrance, screaming Eiko and looking around in horror. What had happened?!

            Tatsumi burst into tears, her best friend since childhood had been taken away from her. Just taken, never to be given back.

            Arios and the rest burst out of the entrance, Arios’s eyes dancing around for a sight of Eiko. Where had Lloyd taken her? Arios dashed to the side of Yu and lifted him from the ground by the shirt, yelling at him, “WHERE IS SHE?!!! WHERE DID THAT BASTARD TAKE HER?!!!”

            Yu shook his head, bathed in guilt.

            Arios narrowed his eyes, “YOU LET HIM TAKE HER!!!! DIDN’T YOU!!!! YOU ASSHOLE!!! HOW COULD YOU!!!” He shook him and raised his fist.

            Setsuna appeared and lowered his fist and Arios dropped Yu from his clutches. Arios dropped to the ground in a sob. He had loved her since childhood. There was no way in hell that he would let some wingly take her away from him.

            Yu just stared at the ground, away from this world away from it all.

            All he could do was hope that Lloyd wouldn’t kill her. That Lloyd wouldn’t harm her long enough for them to rescue her.

            But wait a minute! What if she didn’t want to be rescued?!

Oh baby, don’t go

            That would certainly prove something to Yu. Yu’s inside fell and he just continued to mope on the ground.

            Lumiale said nothing as well and walked over to the ocean. The waves crushing against Hellena and pounding the shoreline.

            He dipped his fingers in the water and circled around. Trying to quietly reassure himself that Eiko was alright and would continue to be.

            “Eiko is strong. She could handle herself...” he told himself. “She’ll be alright...”

            Shana came over and sat down beside Lumiale. She looked into her eyes and saw that she could really tell him nothing. She knew nothing. Nothing about Eiko, him, or for the rest of them for that matter. She sighed, took off her boots and dipped her toes into the water.

            He felt her presence, but he didn’t look up and kept to swirling his fingers in the bright, ocean water. Little ripples claiming spots in the water.

            Tatsumi stopped crying and sat down on the ground. She hugged herself and rocked herself back and forth, he eyes glazing over. Dart, feeling extreme sorrow for both her and the rest, came over and embraced her. She threw her arms around him and began to shed more tears. Dart frowned and just tried to calm her by “shh..” ’s and “It’s going to be alright...” ‘s.

Simple and clean is the way your making me feel tonight

            Lumiale, still sitting beside the ocean felt a strange surge of power in his fingers and saw a strange marking in the sand. It was blue and looked much like what Eiko had touched on the piece of pottery. Without a second thought, he touched the marking and it glowed bright blue.

            The tides grew and enveloped him in a watery light.

            Everyone turned and their eyes grew big with curiosity.

            When the waves came back down to their original state, Lumiale stood in another form. Cyan hair, cyan eyes, and cyan wings that had sprung from his back to boot.

it’s hard to let it go

Lloyd: EXACTLY!

Omni: ...O.o...
