OCs 2 - the Sequel

Val's Letters

Tears began to run down her cheeks.

She slowly began writing a note to Nate,

Nate,

I never will forget the moment when you came to help me and Ian stabbed you. Ros will never fully understand... But I hope you might. I never wanted you to get hurt. You were always the best big brother... That's why I didn't address the past. It hurts so much, Nate. I wish I would've been strong enough to defend you. I couldn't believe my eyes. I never really got over it...ever...

Ian is back and he wants revenge. Please don't get involved. And if I don't make it, please tell Arcadia that she was my best friend and I'm glad I met her. Also, ask her to watch out for my girls!

Tell Soren and Clem that they're so nice and I'm glad I met them! And the dinos are cute. And so are you and Clem together. Yes, I knew, obviously. And you know who else is cute together? Soren and Grace. Tell them I said that!

Tell Ender that even though we didn't always get along, he was a pretty awesome brother. And I forgive him.

Tell Rosa...well, Celeste actually. Tell Celeste I forgive her too. She's grown a lot in the past years. And tell her Julia is worthy of her own crystal. She can have mine since I'll die and she will be the new Guardian of Neverbrook. Ask her to train Julia too.

If I die, tell Chloe that I had to go away to protect her from a bad man, but I love her very much.

And tell Julia that when she was a baby, I heavily influenced her DNA. I made her...well...like me. So in a way... I consider her my sister, daughter... Just family. That's why she had a form of my names - Juliana Ramira. It worked out that way. She is fully capable to use rybroson like we can and Celeste will train her.

And finally... Give the other letter to Hayes.

You all rock. Thanks for being part of my life... So short, yet so long. So young, yet so old. I hope I'll let never let him hurt anyone else ever again after me. I love you guys.

Hayes,

I know you didn't like me hanging around. I know you didn't like me. But... I always believed there was more to you than most people saw. I wanted to bring out the good I know was in you, but I guess my time is up. But I still know it's true.

Centuries ago, my oldest brother, Ian, managed to stab Nate with something that prevented his cells from working normally to receive energy that helped his healing even though he was surrounded by rybrospon that could've healed him in days. I exiled him 500 years ago for betraying us to the Empire and for he basically has a grudge.

I don't want him to destroy you, Arcadia, or anyone else.

I probably won't make it back, so I wanted to say goodbye. I know you wish I wasn't always hanging around you. But I think you're a caring, nice person underneath the grumpiness. Since I don't expect to live, I thought what point was there in dying without telling people things I never will get the chance to say, but I wanted to? So, I like you, Hayes. I really do.

I know you probably just view me as some annoying alien girl who won't leave you alone, but like I tried to tell you, my sibling was mad at me once and blamed me unfairly when there was more to it. I just wanted to make sure you were okay and try to help.

I wish I had more time to spend with you. But life always has to be too short. I won't let him hurt you, Arc, or anyone else ever again.
