Book 3 ~ The Puppet Master

16- The Lies

We still have no idea who was what line in the prophecy.

Well, except for List, Song Future and Rose, of coarse.

We only know that I'm first, Gakupo's second and Blaze is last- I think, anyways. Well, Gakupo and I decided to go on a date for the first time in, like, forever.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked Gakupo sweetly

"Where ever you want Lil'." He replied

He calls me Lil' sometimes -it's kinda cute.

"Oh I know! How about the jungle over there?" I pointed over to the jungle from outside my window to him.

"Sure, sounds great." He replied.

Now what to pack, oh and more importantly, what to wear.

In the end I decided to wear my newest outfit- a white half-top and capri's.

It is the jungle, people. Why not go skimpy?

While I was deciding what to wear, Gakupo packed food.Then we met on the taris outside of my windows.

"Alright, all packed?" I asked

Gakupo nodded.

I put my hands on his waist let out my wings and took off.

-o0o-

The scenery was beautiful for a jungle.I smiled and set down in a clearing.

"This is awesome," He breathed.

I nodded and let my wings hang free.

I flopped down on the grass and sighed.

Gakupo grabbed my hand and held it.

I closed my eyes and breathed in his wonderful scent that always smelled faintly of eggplants.

I smiled and let sleep over come me...

-o0o-

When I woke up, I opened my eyes, not into Gakupo's face, but into his.

Soul Eater Evan's.

I started to scream, but he slammed a hand over my mouth.

"Sssh, quiet. Please," He begged.

He tossed his scythe over to me.

"See? No weapons."

I glanced over at Gakupo, hoping to see him awake.

Soul sighed.

"Okay, okay... I mighta sorta knocked him out..."

I glared at him.

"I needed to talk to you! Just give me a chance to explain," He begged.

I sighed."Fine."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look, I'm not Trace."

I blinked.

"But- I-"

He waved his hand to cut me off.

"Trace never existed. It was all part of her plan." He shuddered.

"I was under a spell, like the others. We were taken from our home worlds and dragged here, to this dump of a dimension."
