Hey everyone. I'm sorry I haven't been on in a long time. My mom has taken away my internet time. It was mostly because my grades aren't that great. Well, that's enough about my life. On with the story.

The forest was in an eerie silence at night. The only thing that stood out from the forest was a girl. She was sitting against a tree. The shadows from the limbs and leaves covered her body from the outside world. She had red and black hair. She wore a green t-shirt with a pair of khakis. On her hip was a monster man and a pack. By her side, there was a rocket seat. This girl was beautiful, and she knew it. The thing about her that stuck out the most were her eyes. They were the deepest shade of red, almost ruby in color. Her real name was Eva Wei, but everyone that she knew on the planet Alwas and Oban called her Molly.

A tear rolled down her cheek and to the ground. Eva had had a rough day. She lost the race, her father, Don Wei, had yelled at her, and now she felt something was going to happen soon, something bad. Eva checked her watch. It was 1:23 in the morning.

She knew it was time for her to go back to the module. But she still sat there, thinking about what was going to happen. Eva heard the leaves starting to rustle in front of her. They weren't rustling from the wind. Eva stiffened. The leaves finally let the person through. It was her partner and friend, Jordan. He looked exhausted, and he had a few bruises, some broken bones, and a sprain. She had the same type of injuries. Eva knew the race went totally wrong, but she couldn't help it. Now, Jordan was hurt, because of her stupid mistake. Jordan lowered himself down by the tree next to Eva. Another tear rolled down her cheek and hit the ground.

"I guess I messed up big time. I'm sorry, Jordan. I didn't mean for it to happen." ,Eva finally whispered.

Jordan took Eva's hands in his, while looking her in the eye, and said, "It's alright. I have forgiven you. I don't know why you did that. But then again, I don't really know the real you."

Eva was taken aback by that last comment.

Jordan pulled Eva towards him. Eva leaned back into his chest. They sat that way in silence. Eva didn't remember what happened next. All she remembered was hearing a gunshot, and then everything went black.

One week later

Jordan sat by the side of a hospital bed. Eva laid on the bed in a coma. She hadn't moved in a week.(except for her breathing) He was worried. Someone had fired a gun that night, but they hadn't found the person who had shot at them. Of course, Jordan was blaming himself for not seeing this before hand. Don had told him that the girl he thought was Molly was his daughter, and that her real name was Eva.

That's when it happened. Eva's eyes fluttered a little. Jordan caught the movement, and started to rub her arm gently, as to wake her up faster.

"Eva." ,Jordan whispered.

Eva's eyes finally fluttered all the way open and stayed open. What she saw first was, Jordan looking at her. Then, she saw that she was in a hospital.

"Jordan." ,Eva breathed.

Jordan hugged her. Eva moaned from the pain, but she was glad that Jordan was there. Jordan let go quickly, and sat back down. He started rubbing her arm again.

"What happened, Jordan?" ,Eva asked.

"You were shot in the chest. Three times to be exact. I'm sorry to say that I had to check how much damage it did to you. One nearly got your lung. A half an inch over, there would be no you. The second skimmed your right side, and then hit me square in the lower arm. The third missed you completely and got me in the lower abs." ,Jordan said.

"Oh my gosh. Why would anyone do that?" ,Eva wondered.

"I still don't know who did it, but we're still looking." ,Jordan assured.

"Who's 'we'?" ,Eva asked.

"Hang on a minute. I'll go tell them you're awake and ok. Just stay still." ,Jordan instructed.

Eva watched silently as Jordan disappeared through the door. She took a look around the room. It was white with blue stripes. When she tried to sit up, a pain filled her chest. She took the covers off of herself, and saw the bandaging on her chest. It was wrapped all the way around her and down to her waist. She had no shirt on. Her pants were a pair of clean jeans.

Jordan came back in a few minutes with Don, Stan, and Koji following closely. Don's eyes were bloodshot. As soon as Don saw Eva, he ran at her and wrapped his arms around her. Eva moaned again. Don let go.

"Eva." ,Don breathed while looking into her eyes.

Eva's eyes shot wide open. Her contorted face went back as quickly as it came. She was scared. Her dad knew who she was.

"Eva, yes, I told them everything." ,Don said with caring eyes. "I'm sorry, Eva."

It was then that someone else came into the room. Everyone stiffened. It was Rick. He had a hold of someone. It was Aikka.

Rick threw him down on the ground and yelled, "Do you see what you have done?! You should be ashamed!"

With that being said, Rick started punching Aikka. The yelps of pain were too much for Eva. Tears were flooding Eva's eyes. She had no idea what was going on.

"PLEASE, LET ME EXPLAIN" ,Aikka yelled out to Eva.

Their eyes met. Aikka's eyes were clouded with confusion, fear, anger, and pain. Eva couldn't stand it any longer.

"STOP IT!!! STOP IT!!!" ,Eva screamed as she stood up from her bed.

She felt dizzy and started to fall. Jordan caught her. She leaned against his chest trying to balance herself.

"Eva, he is the one who shot you! He told me in one of his messages!" ,Rick yelled in anger.

"Let him say what he needs to say." ,Eva said shakily.

"Thank you." ,Aikka breathed.

"What do you want?" ,Eva said with hatred in her eyes.

"I didn't mean it. I'm sorry, Molly." ,Aikka started.

"MY NAME IS NOT MOLLY! IT IS EVA!" ,Eva screamed.

"I would never try to kill you. It was just that Kross said-" ,Aikka never got to finish.

"KROSS?!!!! GET OUT!!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE OF THIS!!!" ,Eva screamed.

"Calm down, Eva. Take a deep breath." ,Jordan soothed.

Eva did as she was told. "Aikka, you had a choice, and you still do. I don't know what's going on between you and Kross, but you can choose. You chose to be partners with the Crogs, you chose to hurt yourself and me, and you chose to carry out Kross' evil plans. Let me tell you something Aikka. There's always a choice." ,Eva said in a dead calm voice.

Aikka looked down at the floor.

Rick got up and dragged Aikka to the door.

"You better watch out, or else you will get hurt." ,Rick said through gritted teeth.

Aikka scrambled out the door. The tears were running down Eva's face. She couldn't believe it. Aikka had tried to kill her. Everyone was still for a moment. Jordan finally pick Eva up (she was still leaning against Jordan) and carried her back to the bed. He laid her down, and wiped the tears off of her face. Then, he sat down next to her and continued to rub her arm gently.

"Why?" ,was all Eva could say.

"That's what we would like to know, Little Mouse." ,Rick said. When he said this, his eyes peirced into hers. She looked away.

She had no idea. Rick saw this and relaxed.

At least she hasn't gone and done anything stupid since I left. Rick thought to himself.

"Mo-I mean Eva, I know that you may not know why, but I think I do." ,Koji said.

Eva bolted upright. Bad move. Her chest felt like it was going to explode. Jordan pushed her back down onto the bed.

"Why, Koji? I need to know." ,Eva said sternly.

"Kross is the leader of the Crogs. Right? Well, the Crogs are in war with us at the moment. We are representing the Earth's strength. I've seen you pilot the Arrow. You have the strength and determination to beat him. I can see it in his eyes. He finds you a threat to him. I've done some research, and found out that the Crogs are also in war with the Nourassians right now. Aikka must be serving them, because he has two choices. To beat these Crogs, which out number his people by a whole bunch, or serve them. He chose to serve them, because it would be easier. He had no idea that Kross found him a threat to the Crogs, either. Aikka was sent out to kill you, but it hurt him, because you were his friend." ,Koji explained. "That's all I know for at least now."

Eva was silent. She was relaxing from Jordan rubbing her arm. It felt so good and calming. Don looked at his daughter. He saw her thinking about what Koji had said.

"Eva, this has to be true, because you race the same way your mother raced. She was determined and she was strong whenever she raced. Now that she's gone, you seem to have inherited her talent for racing." ,Don whispered to her.

"Koji's right. He and I did the research. We know how to get information from sources." ,Stan said.

"Use your pilot's intuition." ,Rick offered.

Eva's eyes finally met Jordan's. They were calm and deep. He hadn't said anything this whole time, except to help Eva calm down.

"I feel that you are the only one who knows what to do, Eva. When you know, I'll always be there with you to help." ,Jordan whispered with his gentle eyes still looking at Eva.

"Thanks." ,Eva breathed.

Her eyes were getting heavy. Jordan noticed, and beckoned for the guys to follow him out.

"Jordan..." ,Eva mumbled in her sleep.

Jordan turned around and smiled. Don put his hand on Jordan's shoulder.

"Stay and watch out for my daughter." ,Don said in a firm voice.

Jordan nodded. Everyone filed out of the room. Jordan walked back over and sat down next to Eva, and started to rub her hand.

"Jordan." ,Eva said with her eyes barely open. She had woken up for a little while.

"Yeah."

With a grimance, Eva sat up. Jordan was about to push her back down on the ber, when she placed her hand gently on his cheek. Then, she pulled his head toward hers. She kissed him hard. Jordan just kissed back with the same intensity. They broke apart, and Eva laid back down with a smile on her face.

"I love you, Jordan." ,Eva whispered.

"I love you too, Eva." ,Jordan said.

Eva fell asleep. Jordan stayed there the whole night.

The next morning Eva woke up to the sound of a door closing. She opened her eyes and was about to sit up, when she remembered what would happen to her chest. From where she was laying, Eva couldn't see the door. She heard footsteps coming toward her bed. Jordan appeared in the edge of her vision. He had one apple in each hand. He sat down on the end of the bed and handed Eva one of the apples. Eva took it from his hand.

"Thanks, Jordan." ,Eva said softly.

"You haven't eaten anything in a week. I thought you might want something." ,Jordan said with a shrug.

Eva took a bite out of her apple. It was juicy. Jordan was eating slowly. Usually, Jordan would scarf down his food. Today, he was in deep thought.

"Hey Eva, I can't stay very long today. I have to go see about my injuries." ,Jordan said with no expression.

"It's ok. I was going to sleep all day anyway." ,Eva joked.

Jordan grinned at this.

At least he smiled. Eva thought to herself.

Jordan got up and left. Before he got to the door, he said, " I'll be back around ten tonight."

"See ya later, Jordan." ,Eva called.

"See ya."

Then, he closed the door. Eva finished her apple and threw it in the trash can next to her bed. Feeling full, she went to sleep.

A few hours later, a figure sat on the window sill watching Eva. The figure jumped off of the sill and walked over to Eva. It laid a hand on Eva to wake her up.

Eva woke up to someone shaking her shoulders. There was a dull pain in her chest. Her eyes fluttered open. She saw a person with dark redbrown skin. He had the brightest blue eyes she had ever seen. She used to have a crush on him, but not anymore. He had hurt her. It was Aikka. There was something out of place in his expression. His eyes were bloodshot, and there were streaks from tears that had flowed down his cheeks. He now bore his eyes into hers.

"AHH-" ,Eva started to scream.

Aikka clamped his hand over her mouth and put a finger to his lips as in to say, "Be quiet."

"You were right." ,Aikka said quietly while taking his hand off of her mouth.

"About what?" ,Eva asked.

"I do have choices, but I have chosen the wrong ones in the past. I will not anymore. I am truly sorry about what I did to you. I regret it." ,Aikka said.

"Why did you do it, Aikka?" ,Eva asked.

"It would take me all day to explain." ,Aikka said while letting his gaze fall to the floor.

"I've got all the time in the world." ,Eva said sarcastically.

"Nourasia has been taken over by the Crogs since I started this race. My parents saw it fit that I serve the Crogs. They were forced to say that of course. I had no choice. The Crogs would have killed my parents, if I hadn't done what I did, and then they would have killed you. They find you a threat to their chance of winning. I have no idea why though. I have a heavy burden on my shoulders, that I wish to get rid of. When I get back home, I shall lead my fellow brothers to war with the Crogs. We shall run them out of the kingdom for forever." ,Aikka explained.

Eva sat in silence trying to absorb all that had been said.

"I had no idea. I'm sorry." ,Eva finally whispered.

"Do not be. I shall find a way to get things back to normal." ,Aikka said with such force that Eva started to believe him.

"I need to go now, so that I do not get caught. Farewell, Eva." ,Aikka waved and jumped out the window.

Eva laid there trying to fall asleep. At ten til ten at night, some doctors came in to change the bandage. When they had gotten it all off, Eva saw the damage it had done. Her body would never be the same. The door opened. The doctors turned and saw that it was Jordan. Jordan glanced through the spaces between the doctors, and saw Eva laying there exposed. He looked away, blushing. Jordan turned and walked out of the room. After the doctors had finished putting a new bandage on Eva they left.

Jordan came back in still red in the face.

"You're the one that came in the door. Aren't you?" ,Eva asked.

"Yeah. Sorry." ,Jordan whispered.

"You've seen me before. You said so yourself." ,Eva said.

"I didn't think I'd get the chance again." ,Jordan said blushing.

"You probably will many more times in the future." ,Eva said.

Eva's face then flushed red from what she said. Jordan just got redder.

"So, what did the doctors tell you about your injuries?" ,Eva asked, changing the subject.

"They said I'd be fine. I just can't lift anything heavier than like ten pounds." ,Jordan complained.

"Do you know when they will be letting me out? I just can't stand it here." ,Eva groaned.

"They haven't decided. They did say that you could walk around the hospital whenever you want." ,Jordan explained.

"How about I do that for an hour and then go back to the Module?" ,Eva tried.

"I don't think they will let you out of their sites."

"They aren't watching me now. I just want to see if anything has changed." ,Eva said.

"I know. I can try to get you out of here for at least a half an hour. Ok?"

"Fine." ,Eva said with a scowl.

"Well I have to go back to see if anybody left. So see ya."

"Bye"

Jordan walked out. Eva hated that she couldn't get back to the module. She thought about it more and more. She decided that she would sneak out for at least an hour and then come back.

At midnight, Eva got out of her bed, and leaned against the wall. Her chest still hurt. She slowly went out of her room and to the front doors. Looking over her shoulder to see if anyone was watching, she slipped out the door. Eva walked along the path towards the lake. She rested quite frequently, leaning against trees. She finally reached the portal and took it up to the Module. When she got up to the solid floor, she stopped to hear if anyone was awake. She didn't hear anything. Eva first went to see her ship. It was in great shape. Then, she went into her old room. She saw Jordan lying on the bed in his boxers. He was hugging his pillow as usual. She smiled.

At least he hasn't changed. Eva thought to herself.

She pushed her curtains aside and saw her hammock. It had something different out of place. There was a teddy bear laying on her pillow. On the bear was a note. It was from Jordan. It said:

Hey Eva,

I hope you feel better real soon.

Love you always,

Jordan Wilde

Eva set the bear back down on the pillow and walked back over to Jordan's bed. There was a big enough space for her to lay down. She did exactly that. After Eva laid down Jordan threw his pillow off his bed and pulled Eva into his arms. She snuggled deeper into his chest. Jordan started to wake up.

Sorry about the cliff-hanger, but my mom says I have to go help my dad at the barn. Please reveiw.
