Just A Calling Card

Chapter 4: Life

Jewel looked at the female he had made his choice and it was one that would change his life forever. "Can I please have more time to think about it?" Jewel asked looking at her.

"If course I'll let you think it over and then you can tell me what you want in the morning," Cinder said looking at the young male. Jewel smiled at this and covered himself.

Jewel then pretended to fall asleep and waited for Cinder to leave the room. She did eventually leave however he waited another hour before moving. After he thought Cinder had fallen asleep he got up and walked into the kitchen.

He didn't need to think about it. He made up his mind the moment he felt just how much evil was in her aura. He decided he was going to leave.

When he found the cloths he had been wearing before he had taken his shower he put them on and walked towards the door. "Sorry it has to be this way. I'll always remember you as my first real friend," Jewel said as he shut the door. When he did he started to walk down the streets.

He wasn't sure where he was going to go fir help but he knew that he couldn't stay here because there was a chance that Cinder might be able find him again. Jewel didn't want that. He was barely able to turn down her offer the first time.

If she found him again he didn't know weather or not he'd be able to refuse her a second time or not. He was hoping to leave town so he wouldn't be forced to make that decision.

As he looked around the streets he avoided the alleyways that were to dark for him to see down and stayed close to the street lights. When he finally found the subway system he walked back down into it and sat down.

When he did he waited for the first train and got on it. He didn't know where it was going and frankly he didn't care. He just wanted to put as much possible distance between himself and Cinder.

He started to drift off to sleep. He would shut his eyes every so often and then his body would react and snap himself back into reality. However there was only so much a seven year old could do when fighting against sleep.

He eventually shut his eyes and leaned against the railing of the train completely forgetting that he had planned to get off at the next town.

Cinder had woken up first. She went to the room where she had left the young male and saw that the bed was empty. She looked for the male for a minute before she found a folded up piece of paper and picked it up. When she finally got the piece of paper unfolded she read over the note.

Sorry but I can't be arround you anymore. I can feel the evil radating off you. As for trying to stop you I'm not going to try. The only circumstance I can see us fighting in is if you hunt me down and try to fight me. I'm grateful for everything you've done for me but I can't become your family. I hope we never meet again for the main reason I don't think I can face you again.

Cinder was a little surprised to see this but it wasn't something she hadn't considered. She had actually considered the possibility of him saying no after all if anything it was a very real possibility.

However seeing that he actually left before she could even talk to him about staying was a little discouraging. However she didn't plan on staying and looking for the young male. After all she had other plans.

Cinder gathered the materials that she thought was important and headed out of the room. She walked down the street and out of the city and started to walk down the street.

'First I need to plan my next move and get some helpers not to mention I need to find out who one of the next maidens was going to be,' Cinder thought to herself as she continued to walk down the dirt path she was on.

However even as she walked she found that her thoughts were drawn to Jewel one final time. 'I wonder where he went,' Cinder thought to herself as she walked down the street.

Little did she know that Jewel had already woken up and was now walking the streets. 'Well it looks different so that's a good thing,' Jewel thought to himself as he looked around.

He wasn't sure what to make of everything. Everything was completely different here. The buildings the way it looked even the people acted different.

As he walked down the streets he saw that Faunus were treated better here but were still treated badly. He wasn't sure what city he was in because he had fallen asleep on the train and the only reason he was off at the moment was because someone had woken him up.

He had no idea where he was or what he was going to do. 'First things first,' Jewel thought to himself as he looked around. 'I need to find out where I am, then I can just figure it out what to do from there,' Jewel thought as he walked down the streets.

He finally came to what he thought was the edge of town because there was a wall surrounding it. 'Must be to keep the Grimm out,' Jewel thought as he walked along the wall.

He had no interest in leaving he just wanted to find an exit so that he knew where it was and so that he could find the name of where he was.

When he finally found an exit he looked at the name and smiled seeing where he was. He had went from a small town to one of the four kingdoms.

1. Mistral
2. Vale
3. Atlas
4. Vacuo
