Will hugged me back as well, making me transfer all the paint on my raincoat to his clean shirt. "Ooops." I said and he simply laughed, ruffling my hair.
"We missed you princess." He said and smiled as he looked to his side. And there I saw Jel, holding his hand firmly. I immediately shrieked like a drunken sea horse.
"Oh my god!" I know, I sounded like a spoiled cheerleader, but hey I am cheering for this couple. I totally ship them!
I drastically hugged Jel, making the two of us fall on the ground. We just laughed it out, not minding the other people who we've just crashed into. Well, their reaction was pretty priceless, like they've just been hit by a wave of drunken teenagers. "I'm so happy for you!" I said to her with a genuine smile.
"Thanks. I missed you." She said and hugged me back.
"Ah this is not the place for sexy-time guys. But oh well." Allanah joined us into a group hug, and so did Daisy. Then we heard a loud awkward cough from Will, making us break our formation.
"Jealous much?" I said to him, while dusting my pants. "Don't worry, we won't steal her from you..."
"Not yet." Daisy filled out the missing words, making the four of us laugh like crazy hyenas. Even though it wasn't that funny. Being with these girls just fuels my craziness.
When the laughter died down, I stood next to Will. "Has Tristan come back?" I asked him silently, so that the others won't hear me. Especially John, though I know he's too focused on the parade, that he doesn't have the time to eavesdrop on me.
Will nodded but didn't reply immediately. He sighed and looked at me with grieving eyes. "He's been camping at the cemetery the moment he came back." He run a hand through his hair. "I don't know what happened. He won't talk to me. But I'm sure he has a problem. He's like that, all the freakin time. He thinks his Pop is his only friend."

"Cemetery?" I asked, I have no idea why Tristan would camp there.
"Yeah. On his father's grave. There's a small house aunt Divina built right next to it." He paused and looked at me. "Which reminds me, I did saw you there once. I think you and your friends were shooting a horror film or something." He stopped and laughed. "And I didn't know you had a friend ghost."
Now I remember, it was them, in that blue beetle I saw, after we wrap things up and was ready to head home.
I smiled. "Yeah. We're pretty close I should introduce you to her." I said and we both laughed, well, briefly.
Immediately my mind jumped to serious mode. I didn't know Tristan's father was dead. So that's why he had that look on his face when he talked about him, back at their condo. I sighed. Poor nerd. For the mean time I need to put these thoughts away and focus on the situation at hand.
Tristan probably thinks that I'm still in danger. I hope he is not blaming himself for what happened back there in Japan. I need to see him. Well, he is one of the main reasons why I'm here.
And, it's a good thing I know where to find him, and that place Will's talking about.
I tapped John's shoulder. "Can you buy us some drinks? Please?" I asked trying to do a puppy dog eyes. He gave in to my plea and went down to get some refreshments.
When John was out of sight, I immediately turned to Allanah and asked to borrow her car. She lend her keys to me without questioning why, and instructed me where she parked it.
I'm sorry John. This time, I'm running away.
I drove down the main road trying to remember a shortcut to where that cemetery is, well it won't be long till John catches up to me. And I know if that time comes, he won't bring me back to the festival. So I had to do get there fast.

I knew that I only have a day to sort things out, but the moment I even started, everything has gone downhill. I guess, saying goodbye to my friends in person won't be possible now.
When I saw some familiar road signs that would lead to the cemetery, instantly I let out a sigh of relief. I thought for a second there that I was lost. The problem now is, I don't know where Tristan is exactly.
I sighed.
Fuck. I guess this leaves me no choice. If I don't want to waste any more second, I have to do this. Well, it's about time I make use of this so called gift. I then readied myself for the headache that's about to come. And closed my eyes, while telling my brain to function that magnifying eye-shit.
When I opened my eyes, suddenly everything has gotten into close up mode. I stopped the car to avoid myself from bumping into a tree, or accidentally mow over a tomb. Looking around I finally caught sight of a familiar figure. On the far end of this lot, there sat a person next to a grave, while reading a book. Someone I knew with all my heart, Tristan.
I drove towards where he is and parked the car a few blocks away from his direction. Well, I wanted to surprise him and partly have a dramatic entrance.
I walked as silently as possible towards him, but even though I was still a few feet away. He turned with the single sound I made by stepping on a mud, then our eyes met. I smiled to him. "Hey." I said in a low voice, I knew he'll hear me, even if I speak like a mouse.
He dropped his book and ran towards me. When he reached me, he hugged me tightly, like he just saw me come back from the dead. "I thought I'd never see you again."
As sad as it is. He's right. After this day, we'll probably never see each other, again. Realizing that, I hugged him back as well, drawing him even closer. I'll miss you nerd.
When we broke the hug, I looked up to him and lifted my toes so that I could reach his lips. I kissed him with all my heart, pouring every single ounce of feelings I have for him.
Action does speak louder than words, and I want him to get a hold of that. Which he did, he kissed me back with the same passion I have for him, or even more.
We broke the kiss, when the two of us heard a set of car wheels screech near us. A black car parked just in front of this hill. Then came out John, with him were two more hunters.
I sighed.
"Goodbye nerd." I looked at him and it hurts to see his puzzled expression. "Honestly, I came here just to say that, and I wish I have the time to explain why." I touched his cheek. "I love you." I said in a whisper. I immediately turned my back on him and walked away, before I change my mind and ran away with him.
He held my hand, making me face him again. "This is not the last time I'll see you hobbit." He then gave me another kiss. And when we broke apart, he held his gaze on mine with so much intensity. "I love you too."

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]
