Unwaivering

"Is everyone ok?

Hello?................Hello?.........HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no, what happened?"

"....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

HELP!!!!!!!!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Just keep talking and I will...Jacklyn?"

"You!!!"

"You."

"Ruby, where are my parents?"

"You ask me...Timekeeper? Like why did you send the Undead after us, and why did you cause a rift through time?"

"My watch lit up, it was time to go. My Mission was over so I shoved my Parents through a crack in space to get home, but then when I tried to teleport, you…"

"Wait what? Mission? This whole entire thing was just a.....mission?"

"Yeah, and you destroyed my Evac team, forcing me to shove my parents through the doorway I made myself, causing me to take drastic action but as you can see…I've never done that before, and it…..turned dire as you can see."

"Then why'd you do it? Why can't you just trust us?"

"I've been with you less than a month. You're all strangers to me. I have never seen any of you before in my life. For all I know, you could be the enemy."

"Us? We have been helping you and you us........or I thought you were."

"All you are is an anomaly I would have no need for if it weren't for Jacklyn friending you all which made me take pity on you and help you. Too bad you don't know how to return the favor."

"Why do you say Jacklyn? You…..are…..Jacklyn?"

"STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TALKING!!!!!!!!"

"Jacklyn, you can trust us. We were the good guys. If you would've told us then we could've helped you. We could've….."

"You keep talking in the past tense. Have you heard nothingI have said?

I......…..DON'T......…KNOW...…..YOU!!!!!!!!"

"Woo, woo, woo, Jacklyn, calm down…take it easy..turn those dark clouds back to day right now. We can talk this out like adults. I am sorry. Now you say....."

"E…NOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*Phwooom*

*Phwoom*

*Phwoom*

*Ting*

"What the?"

"You ok, big sister?"

"I can fight my own battles."

"HAAA, FUNNY. If that were true, then why did you run away the day you were 'supposed' to attack the Dragon? Were you scared? Speak up."

"I.....I went to fetch water, like I told you. Like I told everyone."

"Wind never lies."

".....Is this true, Sister? Have you never fought?"

"That's not true and you know. You.I.....I can...…well...…trust me. Why would I just leave my Elementals to die?"

"I don't know, why would you, Ruby? Or Should I say......…..Beast Hunter!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Sis, you said those days were behind you."

"A Soldier never retires. She should know that more than any. I came here to fulfill my mission. I had orders, and I hate to lose. I'm sure she does too. 

….Why'd you run away from the girls that day?"

"Shut up, Jacklyn. You weren't there."

"Why'd you so conveniently have to get a bucket of water at the exact same time a Dragon was doing his rounds?"

"I said shut up."

"Why'd it take you so long to get back? Did you do that on purpose?"

"I said stop it."

"You're Elementals, you don't need Human necessities. Out of all the people in your group.....only you survived? I find that odd."

"I SAID...…"

"Unless...…"

"Unless what?"

"Evelyn, you sister......is a traitor."

"You take that back, my sister is many things but a traitor is not one of them."

"She would do anything to make her father proud. Bring back the Dragons, hate the Dragons for not even saying thank you? The Lines seem to blur, don't they? Love…hate. Take things into your own hands, do what your dad could never do. The Dragons gave you five gifts, but you don't want the gifts, you want them. So, you made a deal.....a barter....a gift...….an.......exchange.

…..Offer up the Elementals, wash your hands clean in the water, then walk away. No one would expect a thing. In exchange, for the offering, the Dragons would hear your plea, and now with no one strong enough to fight them, they could peacefully return to Earth.

That is....until Darius pulled you out. Nice fake tears by the way. I was almost convinced myself."

"Tell me, if Darius hadn't pulled you out….where would you be?" Who would you be? How?"

"Evelyn, don't believe her. The Past is the past, let the dead bury the dead."

"Oh, I have.

AND I AM NOT GOING TO STAND BY WHILE YOU MAKE ME BURY ANOTHER.

HIIIIIIII..."

"Yaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!"

*poof*

"Aaaaaaagh."

"Come on, let's go."

"Ariel, how long have you been standing there?"

"You couldn't have you know…...used that arial kick earlier?"

"I had to wait for the right timing...….and this isn't it. Come on. I don't know what's gotten into her, but I am glad I found you two. We need to get out of here and find the others."
