Chapter Thirty-Four: Moments Rest

Since everything that's been going on, its been a few years and now both Anne and I are twenty-four. We haven't celebrated our birthdays in awhile, nor did we wish too. Back at the safehouse, Stephen walked in.

'Sandra!'

She came out, 'Who the hell is ca-' she saw Stephen, 'Brother! wait, if you're here, does Zen know?'

I walked into view, 'Yeah, I know everything.'

A tear snuck it's way down her cheek, 'I'm glad.'

'How's Yui by the way?'

'She's still troubled by that night,' Sandra looked away, 'I wish I hadn't dragged them in now. She wasn't prepared to die. Her and her sister just wanted to be left alone, and now because of my actions I'm no better than those I wish to stop.'

I just stood their.

'It's fine Sandra. We'll make sure their deaths won't be for nothing,' Stephen placed his hand on my shoulder, 'and if it ends up being for nothing, I'll kill myself.'

I walked off with Anne following me.

'Zen?'

'Yeah, Anne,' I turned and went down the stairs.

'Aren't you glad to know you have family, and about knowing your past and what not?'

'If I'm being honest, I wish I were the one who would've died,' opening the door to my room, I had gone in and made my stake on my bed as Anne joined me too.

'What? Why would you wish that?'

'It's my fault for existing. Your parents took us on that cruise to relax....died because of who I am....my brother and sister wanted to live happily, but then the government was interested in me....I killed out of anger, couldn't save Mio, Amber, or Yui; why do I think a monster like me?! Can save anyone!'

Anne curled up her fist.

'I'm hopeless. I can't even protect you either. Your only alive because you realized how strong you are, thankfully. I just think this world would've been better off if I di-' I felt something warm on my lips. Shocked and confused, Anne pulled her face away from mine.

'Zen. I don't care about anyone other than you to be honest. I know you try your best. You mean to be the best, but you can only do so much.' She kept her hands on the sides of my face.

Placing my hand against hers, I pulled her in for more. As we kissed, I thought about how she was right. I'm not god, I'm a sorry sack of flesh. I won't change who I am, so I'll just stick with-Anne pulled away.

'This feels wrong, yet right.'

'I've always treasured you either way. Those beautiful eyes of yours, or your gorgeous hair, or the pureness of your skin, or just your simple words.'

Reaching for my pants, she let her hand rest on my thigh, 'I want,' she pushed me over and climbed on top, 'I only want you.'

Lady Sandra sat from across Stephen.

'Find out anything about that alien threat?'

Stephen took off his sunglasses, 'Apparently, they should be here in a weeks time.'

'What's the government planning,' Sandra scrolled through what Stephen sent her.

'Letting it claim stake to a state.'

'Your joking.'

'They had a transmission as long as some satellite video of him displaying his strength.'

'How'd they do it?'

Stephen took the device and brought it to a video, 'They made a new satellite dish that both the public nor the president knows about.'

Watching the video, a human was on Mars surface. 'How's the satellite so good?'

'"It" made it for NASA and showed them how to make more.'

In the feed, the human stood up and had a glowing sword appear in it's right hand. Pointing it at a hill far off, hilt down, the human had a source of energy condense into a ball on the tip of the blade before being released in a beam that shot right through the hill, destroying it completely. Not done yet, the human then raised his hands up high and started to conduct electricity out of the atmosphere, taking out the satellite in orbit too.

'Did he use lightning on another planet and make it go out into space?'

Stephen's face did it's best to hide his pessimistic attitude towards their situation.

Sandra bite her lower lip, 'Do you think we'll be able to beat him?'

'We're gonna have to try.'

Feeling the warmth of Anne's body atop mine, was a feeling I welcome in these times of hardships and problems. Looking at her, I moved her hair aside so I could see her eyes.

With a warm smile, Anne moves herself over my arm and wrapped hers around me. 'I want this to be our forever.'

I thought about it. Running away, leaving all this behind, but something told me I couldn't. 'After we help Sandra and Stephen, this will be our forever,' I kissed her gently on her lips.

Opening the door, Yui came in unannounced.

'HEY,' both Anne and I hollered as I threw the blanket over our exposed bodies. Anne now laying on top of my chest, her hair drooping down beside my face, her legs in between mine, her arms locked with mine.

'Oh, sorry guys,' Yui scanned the both of us, 'So you've finally had sex,' she grinned.

'Why are you still their,' Anne scowled.

'Just wanted to talk.'

'We're naked though,' I said with a blank face.

'I've see you naked before, and both Anne and I are girls, so her boobs mean nothing to my scrumptious breast that are indefinitely bigger than hers.'

I felt Anne go limp as she fell on to me completely, 'Anne?'

'Her boobs are bigger than mine,' she mumbled into my shoulder.

'Yui, can we just get dressed and you act like this never happened.'

'Whatever you say,' she stepped out and closed the door behind her.

Now gone, both Anne and I got dressed.

'You two had sex?'

My face blushed, 'It wasn't anything special.'

Anne's face grew scary as she stared at me. It felt like she was staring directly into my soul.

'I swear! It was after everything had happened,' I out on my shirt, 'and she acted like a stress reliever when you were hospitalized.

Raising her hair over her dress, Anne put it into a ponytail and walked over to me. Suprising me, she went in and gave me a quick kiss, 'I won't let you get taken from me again, nor will I let anyone take me from you.'

I almost laughed, 'Can you believe were still the same two people. Before, you were some shy girl who got bullied-'

'-And you were some kid who tried to act tough and that he was all alone,' she pat my shoulder, 'but we're into this together.'

Exiting my room, we both turned to Yui.

'What's up,' I raised my hand.

'I wanna ask you something.'

I looked at Anne, 'Yeah?'

'Do you know what Eisenberg was after?'

'N-no...I went berserk after I saw what he did.'

'That's what he was after. He knew you and I were connect somehow, sonhe became my boyfriend in hopes of getting you to go crazy. That night was all stage,' she shoved her finger against my chest, 'So he could get you to go crazy in public just for the government's testing purposes.'

'That doesn't make sense however,' Anne pushed Yui's finger aside, 'Those humans were demons in disguise.'

'You guys don't think that alien isn't a demon, do you?'

We all stood their silently. We knew so much, yet nothing at all.
