Chapter Twenty-Two

A bunch of surprises

-----------
Morning came, I saw Axel just beside me on the bed so I carefully and silently got out of the bed. I managed to go out without making any sudden noises. I saw the clock and it read 7:20am, and I bet Amber and Wendy are already working on breakfast so I walked towards the kitchen but a scream snapped me out of the mini trance I was having, I saw Wendy run out of Mark's room, I ran after her but stopped in front of Mark's room and I read the letter.

Dearest friends,
I left not because I was scared of all the things that are happening, I ran away because I didn't want to be called a coward. I will prove everyone wrong. I'm sorry but Gunther's death messed me up so bad that I can't bare being in the same house as you all. I'm sorry, and I hope for the best. We will see each other again, in a different timeline and a different outcome. Goodbye.

Don't Come find me.
-Mark

I covered my mouth, Gunther was dead and now Mark ran away!? What is happening in this house?! I growled, turning around and walking away. "If no one is gonna find him, I'll go." I yelled.

I felt a tug on my shirt, I turned to see Wendy crying with puffy red eyes. "Don't, I know it's crazy and Mark is our friend but If you go out there maybe you'll die! I can't let anyone die or disappeare ever again!" She yells, tears streaming down her face and as a caring friend I gave her a big hug. Soothing her as I rubbed circles unto her back, I can't even save even one friend.

--------HUGE TIMES SKIP---------
----3MONTHS LATER----

It's been three months since Gunther died and Mark ran away, it has been three agonizing months for all of us. But I was glad everything turned out okay in the end, maybe even better. But I couldn't be so sure.

Wendy had gone to normal, but the pain in her heart is still there. She had lost many, and so did we.
Wilson still is portrayed as a leader, Ace became his right hand man for obvious reasons, and more. Wendy was still the cook, with some of Amber's help and the little kid. Gabe, Axel, Nishi and I are still the package collectors and Minami along with Melody and Vivian are now our back up whenever we needed it. Vivian got over the fact that Gunther had died, but like Wendy the pain and guilt was still there but Vivian managed to forgive Ace. Its been a good three months for all of us, it was back to normal. It was rough going back to normal, but we did it. I looked at Melody and Ace, who got together a month ago, it was cool that they found love in this twisted planet. I was happy for them and I hope I get to find someone who would love me too, someone who'd be by my side even if evil is around us... someone like...

I turned and saw Axel grabbing a drink from the fridge, Axel and I grew closer within the three months even if the first times we met I wanted to spit on his face or just simply harm him, but that's all behind me. He's my best buddy after all! I walked up to him and smiled down, he was a bit shorter than I was. He looked up and pushed me, glaring teasingly. "I told you not to look down on me, I know I'm short but damn!" He said in a playful manner.
"Yeah,yeah, shortie." I smirked, he puffed up his cheeks and then sighed. "Tsk, when I get taller your gonna regret calling me that!" He declaired, in which I laughed at. "Whens that?" I asked teasing him more, then Amber passed us. "Quit flirting Lover birds, we need to finish up cooking dinner." She spoke, in which I saw Axel turn red. 'Was he blushing?'

"Yeah yeah, we'll help." I told her as she left us alone, I then turned to Axel and smiled. "I better go help them, your welcome to come join us if you want."
