500 Years *ON HOLD*

Chapter Six~

I fell into the cold water and held my breath. I couldn't swim. I never learned to. The water spilled in my mouth and I was now drowning. I knew this wasn't the end. Out in the distance, swam something toward me. My eyes grew heavy and choked even more. The figure was blurry and it wrapped it's arm around me, bringing me up the surface. I gasped for air and choked out the water but it wasn't enough.

I suddenly felt the figure squeezed me from behind, making me spill out the water. Pain was left around my stomach but I was okay. Just when I was going to face the figure, the person shot up in the sky with me still in their arms. I shieked and they flinched, almost dropping me.

"Relax, Flag."

I yelped and finally took the chance to see their face. Coast. My heart pounded and I squirm as we flew to the earth.

"Relax. I'm not taking you back at to the hospital. Promise."

I sighed in relief and relaxed, kind of leanning my head on his shoulder. "Thank you..but why?" He stayed quiet and then finally whispered, "Doc doesn't want you. You aren't the one he's looking for. So instead, he wants you dead. I'm not letting that happen, though. I promise. Okay?"

I beamed. "Thank you, Coast! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Alright, alright. I don't know why Train would drop you in the water. I'll ask him about that."

"How rude of him. What's up with him? He's so.." I try to think of a good word to describe him but nothing came out. There was no word that could actually describe Train. Coast cleared his throat and muttered, "Hm?" I shook my head, dismissing it. Why would Next tell Train to help me when Train did the exact opposite? That made no sense and I was slightly annoyed. Well, he did save me from that weird flying creature. I shrugged it off and I heard Coast chuckled.

"What's so funny?" I asked and he set me down. He shook his head and I gave him a weird look. "I'm watching yooouu."

Coast laughed. "I did nothing but snicker. A guy can't snicker?"

"No. You chuckled." I argued, playfully and he grin. "Isn't that the same thing?"

I paused for a second then crossed my arms. "N-No!"

"Aren't you just the sweetest thing?" Coast teased and he flashed his white teeth. I studied him for a minute and I realized something. Coast was hot. All the guys were. So was Train. I blushed at the thought and he gave me a puzzled look, tilting his head. "Are you okay?"

I noded quickly and his smile faded into a straight line. "We should probably go to the hideout. We'll be safe there. I promise."

I beamed and nodded. "Okay."

The rest of the way, we walked. I followed him and everytime we saw something or someone flying in the sky, we curled up to take shape of what's suppose to be a rock. We didn't say anything at all. There was nothing to say. The only sound coming from Coast was his humming to a song. I smiled and started to tap my fingers against my thigh, following the beat. It was a nice beat and only if he were to be singing the lyrics. It sounded fimilar.

He paused his humming and just as if he read my mind, started singing, lowly.

"Feeling my way through the darkness. Guided by a beating heart..." He paused and glanced up at the sky. Grey clouds started to form and his facial expression changed. It was humble. "That..doesn't look good." he muttered and the grey grew a blackish-grey color. A single raindrop fell on my nose then another. And another. Soon, it was pouring.

"Shoot!" Coast yelled and he shield his head with his arms as if he could stay dry. I frowned. "Coast, why can't we fly over to the hideout instead of walking?" I asked, soaked already. He dropped his arms and his wet dark brown hair fell on his face, clinging to it. He pushed it off to one side and stared up at the sky in disbelief.
