Comet on the Run

I walk on the side of the road. The air is warm and thick, humid as rain clouds gather overhead. I take a deep breath, and think about what I'm doing. I'm abandoning my best friend, and my family. I'm abandoning Johonson and Jim. I'm abandoning basically everyone who's ever been there for me.

...

No. I'm protecting them. If I stay, Moon will kill them. I have no other choice, but...

My only wish, is that I could've said goodbye.

Disclaimer: For this chapter, and others specified in the future, this will be Marcie's point of view.

I begin to worry about Comet. Did he just leave? Maybe he heard what I said that night? If he has, he hasn't said anything about it. That was probably a mistake, but I just had to vent my feelings to him. Even if he was asleep. I just wish he wasn't so dense. I mean, the concert thing was a pretty big hint. How can he know so much about magic and ruling yet miss simple things like that? I just don't get it.

I pick up his scissors. It's not like he left the dimension so he probably went home. I check around the corner he went around to talk to Star to make sure and head home.

I look up at the sky. It looks like rain, a big storm actually. Do not wanna be outside for that. Maybe I can just use these scissors as a short cut.

I open a portal to my house, my room specificly, and go through. I close the portal and call out, "Comet you here?"

No reply. Guess my parents aren't here either. I look in Comet's room. It's empty. Even his spell book is gone. I decide to look around. I notice a photo of us on his beside table and start blushing slightly. He has a photo of me? That's so sweet. He's just so cute and caring. I wish he could be happy.

I try not to get side tracked and look some more eventually finding a note. The note reads, "Marcie, mom, dad, I'm sorry. My old life has finally caught up with me, and my mother has sent royal guards after me. As you know, I've faked my death, so if she knows I'm alive... I've chosen to leave Echo Creek. I can't go to the Underworld after my fight with Tiffany and I can't stay here in case Moon sends them to your house. I won't let you guys get hurt because of me. I'm sorry, but I have to leave. Tell Jim and Johnson I said goodbye, and I wish you all the best. Expessialy you, Marcie. When I first met you, I almost robbed you. I was desperate and had no place to stay. You and your parents gave me a place and I am eternally grateful. You are the best friend in the world, and someday, I'm sure you'll achieve your dream of becoming a master martial artist. Farewell.

Sincerely- Comet Butterfly."

At this point I'm crying. Comet's run away! I quickly call Star.
