The Impossible Stars: Earth

Chapter 8: Jonas

I walked behind Hana and looked inside the tower. This was the first time to noticed that this was not an ordinary tower.

"Wow." I said softly but noticed Hana walking up the stairs so I quickly followed her.

We walked up to a room that seemed to have a load of computers and monitors.

"Computers?" I asked in confusion. What was this room for? I never asked her that since I only asked if these were computers.

"Yep... this was my first task." She answered softly. "We used these to monitor the darkness outside."

I nodded as I stared at the dark screens of the monitor and then heard Hana's footsteps walked away. I turned to noticed she was walking up the stairs again so I followed her again.

We stopped in front of the big doors... I knew instantly that this was her room... the first room that she took me to.

She walked through the doors and I followed behind. It was different seeing this room without stars since her master made everything dark.

She grabbed my hand and teleported me to the room above... her Master's room.

"Now what?" I asked her as I looked around the room...

With her hand still in mine... "Now we fix the time." She said softly...

I nodded slowly, knowing this was the only choice we had to do.

We both closed our eyes as I felt the power surging through her hand and my power surging through her hand. I knew something was going on...

I opened my eyes and noticed something bright coming from the sky.

"Hana, look!" I pointed at the window.

She looked and asked, "Are those stars?" She whispered.

I walked over to the window and looked out. "No... they are..."

I heard she gasped as she noticed every color coming to live.

"It worked." She said softly.

Then I looked at her gray eyes and black hair...

"Huh... you have beautiful gray eyes." I whispered to her.

She looked at me and tilted her head... "Yea... but yours... palest blue and blond hair..."

"So? I always had those." I told her.

Then we laughed a bit as we watched as Earth began to return back to normal.

Deep down inside, I had the urge to see my family one more time... because I knew that we are not done.

"Hana... I want to see my family." I said after a moment.

Hana looked shock, "But you know they won't see you or know you..." She said softly with a sad face.

I nodded slowly. "I know..."

Hana thought a moment and then nodded. "Let's both go see our families." She said as she reached out her hand to me. I reluctantly grabbed it with a small nod.

After she had teleported us on the ground, I walked towards the pathway that I remembered towards my home. I looked behind me and saw her going in another direction towards her home.

So she lived in this town too... I had thought.

I heard kids and people talking as I got closer to my home...

I stood at the end of the drive way and looked at my home... all my brothers and sisters were outside, playing.

Being the oldest made me feel out of place... and this... them not being able to see me made it felt worse.

I gulped a bit and whispered a goodbye to my family.

I turned away with tears in my eyes... I walked quickly back to the tower and noticed Hana wasn't there yet.

I stood in front of the tower...

"This is the start of my destiny." I whispered.

Then I heard Hana coming who seemed to been running but I never asked her.

I held out my hand to her, "Let's go."

She nodded as she grabbed my hand and we were back in the top of the tower... surrounded by all these books.
