The Reborn

“What do you say, Marine? Is miss Moonlight able to go home or we have to keep her here under our observation a little longer?” Snow asked with a smirk.

“Hmmm. I don’t know. I have to think about it.” Marine responded to his brother and I want to bang them head in head.

I rolled my eyes and gritted my teeth. “Stop playing with my nerves.”

Both of them raised their hands. “Calm down. She can go home as long as she keeps doing the exercises I showed her for her back, takes her pills and she doesn’t force her back for the next week.”

Snow nodded. “I already gave you the list with our vitamins and I’ll tell your brothers about the pills and exercises. Just to make sure that you’ll take them.”

I glared at him and his idiotic brother. They have something in common: they like to piss off their patients, but that’s all. Except that, they are completely different. Marine has black hair with blue reflexes in the light with blue eyes. His element is water and he is stubborn and doesn’t stand my bullshit. Nor Snow was, but at last Snow knows how to manipulate me. This one is only yelling at me and threatening to call Snow. Marine is the younger one from this two and he is a bigger pain in my ass than Snow.

“Got it. Vitamins, exercises and not lifting heavy things. Simple. Now can I go? I have things to do.”

Snow nodded. “Very well. You can go and I hope that I won’t see your face here again.”

“Nor I do. I had enough of you. Too stubborn and you ask to much questions.” Marine added and I smirked. What? I like to know what I’m doing and why I’m doing.

“Great. Bye!!” I ran out of my old hospital room and stopped at Sharpedon’s. I walked in and plumbed down on the plastic chair I got used to.

Sharpedon isn’t awake. Snow said that he doesn’t know when he will wake up.

“It’s up to him.”

Then he should fucking wake up because I’m worried sick as everyone else is. He looks a little better than one week ago, but it’s still bad. His lungs are healing and his breathing is almost normal so I don’t understand why he isn’t still awake. Snow said that it must be because his brain hasn’t received oxygen for 6 or 7 minutes until he came here. His brain must have some minor damages due to the lack of oxygen, but it should have healed by now. It’s incredible what 6 minutes without oxygen can do to you. Four more minutes and he would be dead. Fucking dead and it’s all my fault.

I shook my head. It’s not the time to kick myself for what happened because I have another things to do.

“Yo, Sharpedon. Today they are letting me go home and I’m so happy. I also got rid of my cast. Now I have only a bandage since the wound isn’t fully healed, but I can at last scratch my skin. My back is also better and I have to do some special exercises everyday since my back bones aren’t used to sudden moves or carrying heavy things anymore.” I stopped and sighed. “Gaze, you really have to wake up. I miss you, idiot. And I have to the your fucking work too! You know how much I hate paper work! Now I have to go and do your job, so as a reward for my hard work, I want to see you awake with your dump smile on when I come back. Bye for now, Gaze.” I said as I got up and kissed his forehead.

I hate seeing him like this so much. It’s horrible to see him just laying down without looking at me with his beautiful pure black eyes and tease me with his idiotic jokes.

You don’t know what what you have until you lose it.

I didn’t lost Sharpedon. He is alive and he will wake up soon. Just wait.

Don’t get your hopes up. How Snow said, his brain is damaged and it could be very bad damaged for all we know. It could be so bad that he won’t wake up. He can be stuck in this coma like state.

I looked at him and shocked my head. That’s not true. He’s fine. He’s only taking his time to heal. If his brain was so damaged he would be dead by now. I know that he will wake up. I said it before and I’ll say it again. I believe in him as long as he believes in me and I haven’t heard him saying that he gave up on me.

Shadow-

Don’t. Just shut up and wait. You’ll see.

Fine. But don’t come to me crying when reality will hit you in the face.

Reality hit me in the face a long time ago, so don’t worry.

I exited the room and slowly walked back to our apartment straight to his office.

Bolt can be very pesimist sometimes. I understand her now because she feels as bad as I feel: angry on us and guilty. We could have done better than we did and Sharpedon wouldn’t be in this position.

“You must be motherfucking kidding me.” I said as I saw the 4 tall mountains of papers waiting for me to resolve.

I seated down on the leather chair behind the desk and smiled a little. It’s been a long time since I last stayed in this leather chair and tried to do all this stupid papers. Now, I have to do a detailed report of our mission with the numbers of deaths, injured, saved and captured persons along with many other persons.

Okay. I can fucking do it.

I took the black pen in my and started to read the first file.

~☆~

“I hate paper work with a fucking burning passion.” I mumbled and rubbed my face.

Two stacks of papers were done, but I still have other 2 and I’m physically tired and mentally exhausted. My right hand is numb from all this writing and my eyes are almost closed.

“Just 5 minutes.” I mumbled and rested my head on the table.

I was almost unconscious when a loud beeping started to be heard. I jumped in surprise and started to look around to find the source of the sound, but everything was white.

“What the fuck....?” I asked and ran a hand down my face. So I wasn’t blind. I just had a paper glued to my forehead. I slammed it on the desk and looked up.

The hologram-monitor appeared in front of me, showing me that someone was calling. I made my mask appear and pressed the answer button.

“Hello, Bolt. How are you feeling?”

I sighed exasperated and buried my face in my hands. “What do you want from me, Spike? I’m a little busy right now so if you called because ‘you miss me’ I suggest you to end this call.”

He raised one eyebrow. ” Don’t flatter yourself, Bolt. I called because we have things to discuss. Important things.”

I leaned in my chair. “Then start talking.”

He wants to talk about what happened last time we met and I want too. What he did confused me and made me curious in the same time and if he gives me an explanation, I can cross one thing from my Worry List. Yes, I have one and he saving me is in top 3.

“I can’t talk about this things on the phone. We have to meet somewhere. You can-”

“Hold on, cowboy. I’m not coming anywhere with you. Last time I agreed with you I was the one injured. This could be exactly like the last time and I’m not risking anymore.” I said and crossed my arms.

He sighed. “I’m sorry about that. If you don’t trust me enough to meet me here, in our world, what do you think if we meet in human world?”

I frowned. “Where?”

“Around your old school it’s a small coffee shop and I think that it’s the best place where we should meet.”

He can’t do anything to me in the human world. We can’t use our powers or show our marks in humans dimension. Just imagine how freaked out the humans would be if they would find out that they aren’t alone in this big world.

“And you can also drink a coffee since you look like crap.”

I glared at him. “Fine. See you there in half an hour.” I said and ended the call.

I leaned in my chair again and ran my hands through my wild hair. Since we are going to meet in the human dimension, I have to dress normal to not catch someone’s eyes. We, Elementars, look different from humans. Our eyes have weird shades of colors along with our hair and all of us are fit and looking good as fuck. They can tell that something must be wrong about me if they stare at me for too long and I’m too tired to put up with those kind of problems. I went to my room and dressed in a pair of ripped jeans and a simple black Adidas hoodie. I tied the laces from my running shoes and got up. To go in another dimension I have to teleport myself. Last time when I did that was 2 years ago when I went to see Arnold. I miss him so much. I lost him when I moved here. I’m sure that he’s on the big forest above us and in a better place. I hope he found a tree girl for him.

I closed my eyes and thought about my old. When I felt like I was ready, I opened my eyes and walked out of the room. The familiar feeling of hitting the ground was next and when I looked around, I was in front of my old school just like the last time. Things didn’t changed since I was here. Well, a big tree was missing and the hole we left behind is covered, but that’s all. I got up and started to walk down the street. The coffee shop where we’re meeting at has a cabin like design and it gives you a cosy feeling. As I opened the door, the familiar scent of coffe and vanilla hit my nose and I smiled. I used to spend a lot of time here doing my homework and drink cappuccino. I walked to my usual seat, in the back and right next to the window.

The whole coffe shop is made of wood. My favorite thing is that the chairs are made of logs and they have on a cushion made of what looks like fur. Around the edges of the windows, stickers with tress and different wild animals were placed, giving to this place an even more cabin like look.

“In reality you look as bad as you look on the screen.”

I raised my head and saw who must be Spike. He has dark brown hair and dark blue eyes with little flecks of dark green in them. His skin is pale and he is tall and slim, but I can see that he has some muscles on him.

“Nice to see you too.” I said and he took a sit across from me.

“What’s the point with all this formality? We are here to have a friendly talk, not to talk about some political shit.” he rolled his eyes and waved his hand at the waitress.

I ordered a cappuccino and he ordered a coffe and a muffin. Our orders arrived in less than 5 minutes.

“So. You wanted to talk.” I said sipping from my hot cappuccino.

He nodded his head. “Yes, I want. I just don’t know with what to begin.”

“If I say with the beginning, would it help you?” I asked and he chuckled.

I don’t know why, but I’m not feeling as weird and tensed as I thought I would. It feels like we are old friends and I don’t know what to think about it.

“Not really, but thanks for trying.” he took a deep breath. “I gave up on my position from the Black Thorns.”

I almost spited the cappuccino from my mouth. “You what?? Why?”

He scratched his head. “Well, this is the hard part.”

“Just spit it already, Spike.” I said more curious than ever. Why would he gave up on his title? He was the leader after all.

“My name isn’t Spike. That’s my agent name.”

I narrowed my eyes feeling that something big must be coming. “What’s your real name?”

He smiled a little. “I’m Sam Storm of Moonlight. Hi Shadow.”

You know that moment when all you can do is stare and blink like the stupid idiot you are? That’s exactly what I was doing right now.

I closer at him. He had the same color of hair and eyes as Sky, only a little darker and his skin is as pale as mine. His personality is as crazy and violent as mine and fuck. It makes sense, but I can’t believe it.

“H-How?”

He shrugged. “After our parents died, we were sent in a place where we would be safe. I ended up in Darks family because I am dark while I thought that the rest of you were dead. Your death was the reason I wanted to kill all the Elementars, but when I saw you there laying down with your spine broke, I couldn’t press the trigger. I recognised you and I was shocked, but at last I knew that I had to save you. I lost you once. I’m not losing you again.”

I raised from my spot and walked on his side and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, but not very tight because of my back. Some tears escaped my eyes, but I didn’t cared. I found my brother. My bigger quadruplet and I’m so happy. After 9 years, we meet again.

“I missed you, Bugs.”

I smiled at the nickname. “I missed you too, Donald.

He calls me Bugs because when I was little I used to eat a little of carrots and say ‘Ehh, what’s up doc?’, exactly like Bugs. That bunny is the hero of my childhood. Him and Scooby Doo.

I pulled back and saw that he was crying too and I laughed. “Look at us. We look like crying babies. And we are in public.”

He chuckled. “Yeah, but I don’t care.”

I smiled, but than frowned. “You gave up because you found out that I was alive.”

He nodded even if it wasn’t a question. “Yes. I knew that if you are alive some of our brothers could be alive too and I wanted to stay with my sister.”

“They are alive. All of them, but Ethan is still missing.”

“Are you serious? That’s great! I can’t wait to see the others! Ooo, I want to see Aiden so bad.”

I chuckled. He and Aiden were always bickering from the most silly things.

“I don’t think he will be as enthusiast as you are, but okay.”

He shrugged. “At last I’m trying.”

I frowned again. “And they let you go just like that? You told me that you wanted to leave and they agreed?”

He smirked. “Come on, Bugs. You know me better than that. Of course not. I packed my things and left when everyone was asleep. I left a note at last. They wouldn’t have let me go if I told them. They would have killed me or forced me to stay.”

“You’re right. You can come in our little rebellion if you want. You can help our cause.” I suggested and dumped his shoulder with mine.

“And what’s your cause?”

“Peace. Darks and Elementars living together in peace. Like it was back in the good old days. I think that it’s a bad idea if one of the 2 raises are exterminated.”

He nodded deep in thought. “The balance of nature.”

“Yup. And this was also our parents cause. I want to keep the tradition or better. To make their dream come true.”

“Do you think that you can do it? Calamity is very strong and I don’t know if you can kill him.”

I looked at him dead in the eyes. “Then I’ll die trying. I think that I can do it, but not alone. Our rebellion is growing and I’m having hope.”

It was silence for the next 10 minutes.

“I’ll help you because you’re right. This is too much. Too much blood, death and suffering. This has to stop and I’ll help you with everything I know about the D.A and Calamity’s plans.” he said and I smiled.

“That’s great. By the way, did Black gave out the location of our base?” I asked the question that was laying in the back of my head making me worry.

He smirked. “No and he won’t. I erased the memory of the exact location. He only remembers that it’s in Boltmountain and you and your friends are there.”

I hugged him tightly again. “You are a fucking genius!! Thank you so much. You just saved our asses!”

He chuckled. “I guess that I have to get used to saving people’s asses since I’ll join you.”

“Yes, you have. Welcome in our world, Donald.”
