Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Where. Is. Val?" Aster asked again his voice trembling, he was afraid there was something that Neomi was leaving out.
"What happend to her?" Aster grabed Neomi's hand tenderly and looked at her face, it wasn't pleasant (her face expression) and he feared the worst.

Neomi! Aster! Oh my gosh how did you find me?" Valencia weakly exclaimed. She listened to Neomi explain to Aster about what had been happingto over the corse of two days and tried to help them with the restaints before coming to the conclution that only Jared could release her, this frightend her but she knew itt was the only way for their was no key only a charm that he alone knew.
" You have to leave," Valencia stated,"before he returns" It tore her up on the inside to say this for she did not want to be left alone again, not here, not now but it was the only way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aster stayed speachless as Neomi talked to him while they struggled with the locks but as soon as Valencia asked them to leave he nearly exploded
" Why? Why would we? We can't." Aster saw the look in her eyes and understode, "But... Val? Neomi, .... How?" Aster looked at both of them not fully understanding.
"How can we leave her? I'm not sure" He whispered to Neomi," I mean this may be our one chance but it may not be."

"What's the plan? I know you have one...." Valencia turned to look at Neomi, her face ashen and slightly pale. Sighing she silently hoped that there was another way to end this, but sadly came to the conclution that there probably wasn't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aster also stared at Neomi waiting for an answer.

Valencia was a little bit peeved that Neomi wouldn't tell her but ingnored it.
"I don't think there's a key, It's probably a charm he's put on the lock. Jared dosn't look like he stows key much." Valencia threw in as Neomi and Aster talked privately.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What's the only thing you have?" A slightly confused Aster asked quietly as to not let Valencia in on the conversation. He looked into her eyes and noticed he was too blushing, Shaking his head he reminded himself that this wasn't the time or place for something like that and that he needed to get back to Valencia.

(Lol Aster needs to pay attention.......)

"How is that going to work? You've shown that you are no longer under his spell by leaving him on the beach with Neil. He will be extreamly suspisoius." Valencia pointed out, "And what about Neil right now, is he okay, dead, or what." She continued to grow concerned with each passing moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What if there is no key, like Valencia said. What do we do then?" Aster asked looking over at Neomi, "We just need to be sure."

*It's fine, to both of you lol*


Neomi cocked her head and then blushed and looked down at Aster's feet. "Sorry, I-I didn't.." She trailed off and looked away, thinking that she was a complete idoit. And in front of a hot guy, too. She wanted to beat herself in the head. Anyhow, she turned to Valencia and smiled. "Your right, but I have to maybe ask him to put myself under the spell? I have a little mermaid magic against it..Maybe it will work." She grinned, knowing that she had given away she was a powerful mermaid. Just like her father. She waited for their answers.

Jared laughed, then punched Niel in the stomach, with enough strength to send him flying back a couple hundred yards. He ran over with blinding speed and kicked him, demanding he get up and take it like a man. His eyes shone red.

"You can't do that!" Valencia exclaimed, " He knows you can break it so he'll make it stronger.... you might not come out this time." She voice growing softer as she fineshed. Aster placed a hand on Neomi's shoulder and sighed.
"Are you sure?" He asked sounding concerned " You guys really scared me when you didn't come home last time." Aster continued, painfully smiling softly.
