Chapter 21:

Build up.

Silver/re:birth.


After school me and Lisa met up at the wedding chapel, I asked about what the student council was up to."Just whining about the budget and stuff, nothing you need to worry about darling." She shrugged as we walked towards the entrance. 
We walked up to the large wooden door, I was about to open it but it wouldn't budge. "?"
"That's weird, billy must not be here. And I was supposed to have another lesson today."
Lisa crossed her arm's looking puzzled. "It's not like him to not be here, he spends most his time at the wedding chapel, Strange."

"Do you have his number?"
She nodded and pulled out her cell. 
Beeeeep.... Beeeep..... Beeeep....No answer.

"No good huh?" I scratched my head as I stood atop the step while Lisa was at the bottom. 
She shook her head."Nope. It's alright... I'm sure it's probably nothing." She sed nonchalantly.
I stepped down and stood beside her. "So I guess no training for me today huh?"

"I suppose so-" she smiled.

"Well sense your free my love... wanna go see a movie with me?" She batted her pretty blue eyes at me. "Pretty, pretty, please with a charry on top? Pleeeeese?" 

I looked away smiling and blushing."Damn your too cute." 

"I know I am. So, is that a yes?"She grinned.

"Sure." I shrugged.

"Yay!" she gave me a kiss on the cheek and grabbed my hand. "Let's go then dar-" 
Beep! Beep! Beep! 
Lisa looked down at her wrist, she took her hand away and pulled up her sleeve. She was wearing that weird gauntlet thing I saw her wearing the night I asked her out. 
She pressed a button it opened up and began to project a small holographic screen."Whoa!"

She grinned. "Don't worry, you'll get one of these bad boys soon enough."

She turned back to it and saw a notification."Jack, um... Do you mind not looking at the projection? What's on this thing is kinda personal." 

"Oh, right um... Sorry. " I looked away awkwardly and stood there silently.

"I see... "

"Hmm?" 
Suddenly she turned it off and her playful expression became more serious."Darling... I'm sorry, but that movie's gonna have to wait. Please don't be mad."

I smiled."It's ok. I get it, besides you were the one who brought it up so..."
She looked a little annoyed."So your not disappointed you don't get to spend time with your girlfriend?"

"What? No! I just i-" she smiled once again.

"I'm just kidding. I'm not some psycho who gets mad for no reason, hehe."

I let out a sigh of relief."You really are a tease you know that."
She came up close to me and whisperd in my ear in a sultry tone. "Baby, you have no idea how much of a tease I can be." 
My face went blood red. I never heard her speak in such a smooth, sensual and sexy voice before. I won't lie it was pretty hot. "!"

"Ehehe~" she backed up.
"Told ya-!" She sed in her normal high pitched tone and winked at me.
"Geez."

She walked backwards a bit."Anyway I gotta go home and run some errands, I'll see you later ok?"


"Alright."

"And stay out of trouble, I mean it mister."

"Alright." 

She walked forward a bit but then stopped.As if something just occurred to her that she hadn't thought of before, so she spun around and her playful demeanor was once again replaced by a more serious and...Somber one, why?
"Jack... I love you."She was saying it as if she wasn't sure she was gonna be able to say it again.

"I... Love you too." I smiled shly. 

"dont be so shy next time ok?... Bye." She smiled warmly at me and waved her tiny slender hand at me and went her way back towards her mansion. 
I shoved my hands in my pocket and went towards my house, whistling a happy tune.

I eventually got to Elsrith avenue, the sun was setting. As soon as i turned the corner towards my street I let out a yawn. 
I suddenly felt really sleepy, thank God I was almost home.
Right before I got to my house however, I noticed on the ground a paper on the ground, out of curiosity I picked it up, it was a missing person's add. "Hmm?"

I looked at the picture and it was a little blonde girl, she looked no younger then ten, maybe eleven at the most. She had big blue eyes and a little tiny nose and in the picture she was wearing a little blue dress smiling from ear to ear, she had a few teeth missing though. 

I looked at her name. "Sarah lain?"
Could she be related to Miranda? There is a bit of resemblance...
I began to worry. Damn, if only I had her number. 'nah, if Lisa found out I had it she'd flip probably. I can tell she's pretty possessive of me. I'm not completely dence. But still...'
What if she is related to her?She might be worried sick...
"Tomorrow I'll talk to her about it."
I checked the date also. 'what?! She was kidnapped yesterday?!' 
They must have made these straight after going to the police! 
I looked at the number. 'it's probably her mom's phone, I'll call them as soon as-'

"Yawn-"
Suddenly a wave of sleepiness crashes over me, infact this is the most sleepy I've ever felt in my life...
"Wow... I... I should call them but... I'm... So sleepy-" 
And as if on its own, my body moves passed where I was and passed the few buildings that was in the path to my townhouse, I lazily drudged up the stairs and pulled out my key.
After unlocking the door I walked in and took off my chuck Taylors and made my way over to the couch and flopped on it, face first. "Ohhhh.... " I groaned. 

"Maybe... I'll... Yawn .... Take a nap and.... Yaaaaaawn.... I'll call them later-" The drowsyness built up more and more, my eyelids getting heavier and heavier... And then... 
I was asleep. 

...

...

...

Deep within the dark of the sewer, I saw something horrible. 
"No!" A little girl cried out as drums became more and more louder.
"Please!"

I heard chanting, singing and yelling.
Fire burnt on an alter Infront of a huge golden bull.

"No, no, NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"a knife was lifted into the air, and blood was spilled. The scream was so loud it shook me to my core, and I saw where the sewer was and I saw the street. And I saw it was in my own town. I saw it all. 
And a voice like thunder cried out.Jack! Go!
And I awoke. "!" 
I sat up, beads of sweat rolled down my cheek. "Oh my God... Oh my God..."

After a few seconds of breathing heavy I was able to process everything I saw. "..." I brushed my hair back and took in a deep breath. After calming myself. I came to realize. "That was you God huh?..."

God had just told me where that girl was, and I had a feeling I didn't have much time.
"I can't go alone. No, I made a promise to Lisa that I'd be careful from now on... "
I thought for a moment."Billy's missing in action... What about ryuji?... Wait, I have no idea where he lives, I'm pretty sure it's not in old town... " I muttered to myself.
"I know. I'll get lisa, it's my only shot."
And so I nodded to myself and got up and left the townhouse.
