Julian helped Kayla to her feet. She wasn't seriously hurt. She
had a few bruises, but other than that she felt fine. Kiara still stood
there. She turned around to see Julian and Kayla in pain.
"I'm sorry. It was my fault..." Kiara pleaded.
Kayla walked up to Kiara, but she backed away in fear of another
fight. Julian stepped forward.
"What are you?" he questioned with wide eyes. Kiara tried to
smile, but she could.
"I was human once. A very long time ago. I witnessed the murder of
the CYBER SERIES, and for that I was killed. Von Riechter brought me back
to life, but...this isn't life. This is pain." she said sadly. Her head
turned towards the ground so no one could see her eyes well up with hot
tears. Kayla didn't know what to say. What if this child was lying. The
whole situation didn't seem right to Kayla.
"Who was that man?" she asked as she held her left arm.
"That was Blade One. He is the new creation of Von Riechter. He
was sent to destroy you, and to take me back to the lab. I'm not evil. I
want to get away from him and live a normal life, but it just can not be."
she said quietly. Kiara reminded her of Cybersix when she talked like
this.
"I should go now. Please don't follow me. If you ever run into
Blade One again, don't think, just run." Kiara said as she walked onto the
ledge of the building.
"Goodbye..." she said. Kiara slipped off the roof and disappeared.
Kayla looked over the edge to see if she had left for good. Kiara was no
where in sight.
"I still don't trust her," she muttered to herself as she picked
Julian up and cradled him in her arms. Julian looked back at her with
worried eyes.
"Are you alright Kayla?" he said as he looked up into her
distressed face. Kayla smiled warmly at him.
"I think so Julian," she said as she swallowed hard.
"Do you remember her? When you were little?" he ask as he lay in
Kayla's arms.
Kayla closed her eyes tightly. She didn't remembered her. All she
remembered was the chambers and Von Riechter and death. Kayla swallowed
her tears and sighed quietly to her self.
"No...............no," she said as she hesitated for a moment.
Kayla smiled at Julian.
"Come on, let's go home. I'm sure it's almost morning," she said.
Julian nodded and began to close his eyes. Kayla moved across the city as
fast as she could as she thought about Kiara. She was different, and
strange. It was best for Kayla and Julian if they didn't met up again.
Julian snored softly in Kayla's cradling arms. She took him home.........
.........The sun slowly began to surface on the city. The waters
shifted back and forth with gentle ease. Kiara sat on the head of the
angel statue, looking out on the beautiful colors on the sea. She looked
down at her bandaged arm. Kayla crossed her mind. If only she hadn't come
to Meridiana, she wouldn't have put her in danger. Blade One would have
never attacked.
But who was this strange Cyber and how did she escape? Kayla
seemed so distant from the rest of the world. Kiara remembered how they
fought. Kayla was much more advanced in her fighting skills than Kiara.
That is why she has survived this long.
Blade One would have taken her away if it wasn't for Kayla.
Kayla's katana flashed in her mind. Blade One and Kayla were almost an
equal match. Kiara sensed that Kayla was just as scared as she was, but
Kayla had Julian to trust. Kiara pushed her hair back as the wind battered
it about. She knew Kayla didn't trust her. She had her reasons. Kayla had
been running for so long, it was hard to know who was and who was foe.
>Kiara plummited down from the angel and onto the road. She headed
towards the market. People crowded the streets. Kiara kept her head down
so no one would see her face. She walked down the aisle of stands. She
found Julian, sitting quietly on the steps of an abandoned apartment. He
stared sadly at the small gold chain necklace in deep thought. Kiara
approached him. Julian turned his eyes towards her.
"I'm sorry Julian..." she said as she stood in front of him.
Julian looked at her in pity. She wasn’t evil, she couldn't be.
"Will I ever see you around here?" Julian asked as he stood up.
Kiara shrugged.
"Maybe," she said simply. Julian smiled. He stuck out his hand
towards Kiara.
"I'm glad we met Kiara. And I mean that," Julian said happily.
Kiara blinked, then took hi hand and held it for a moment.
"Me too Julian, me too," she replied, and with that she walked off
and turned the corner. Julian went to catch up with her to give her
necklace back, but she had disappeared once again. Julian smiled, and
placed the golden chain back in his pocket and walked off into the
market......
