Infinity

Chapter 12: My Transition

When the afternoon came, and it was night time, Jake and Rose walked back to the coastline, staring at the moonlight that was reflecting on the blue ocean's waves. They had spent the day at the small town in Florida they had stopped by. They ate breakfast, looked at different stores, talked to many kind people, and had dinner at a fun restaurant with amazing service. They rented a room at a hotel for the night, but they wanted to spend some time at the coastline together before going to sleep. All in all, it was a fantastic day for the two of them.

Jake and Rose both sat on the sand together, watching the moon continue to shine in the sky. They both observed the sky in silence, watching the many stars and moon shine light throughout the darkness of the sky. The ocean had the moonlight reflecting on its glimmering waves. It was a beautiful sight to see.

Jake soon found himself focusing less and less on his surroundings. Him cuddling with Rose, him observing the beautiful nature, and his amazing day seemed to fuel his deep thinking. Even though he wanted to enjoy himself while he had the time to, he couldn't help but think about what would happen if he and Rose were to fail the mission, die, and let the Dublekas win.

"The world would be dead if we failed... nobody would be alive," Jake thought. "Think about all of those nice people I talked to today. They'd all be gone. They don't deserve that. Think about the nice shops and restaurants Rose and I went to. Nobody would be able to go there and enjoy themselves. Think about the beautiful nature, like the moon and the ocean, that I'm looking at right now. Nobody would be able to see that and admire true beauty." Jake continued to let what he thought sink in even more. As he realized more and more what he told himself, he realized that there was a lot more than he thought depending on him and Rose.

"If we lost and the Dublekas took over... the world would be out of control," Jake thought. "The Dublekas would win. We would lose. But... we haven't lost yet. We will be there for the world. We will support them in this secret chaos. We will save them. But... what if something happens... and we do lose?" Jake looked over at Rose, who was slowly starting to fall asleep.

"Well, I won't let the Dublekas win," Jake thought, his frustration about the possibility of the Dublekas winning and taking over the world increasing more and more. "Rose and I will put an end to this treason someday, whether it's tomorrow or ten years from now. It'll be my transition, and if I have to change and start new to save the world, then I'll do it. Hey... that's good. I'll make a promise to the world to never stop until this treason is over and done. I won't let the Dublekas win. I won't let the world go." Jake smiled to himself, satisfied with his new personal promise to the world. He knew that his family, his friends, and S.T.A.M.P would be proud of him.

Jake sighed and looked over, realizing that Rose was sleeping. He chuckled quietly, not wanting to wake her up, and gingerly picked her up. He smiled down at her as he carried her back into their hotel room. He put her in her bed, then laid down in his. Jake closed his eyes as exhaustion took over, and he fell into a deep slumber.
