(Quinten's POV)
"I-I am A-Adam! Let me try again!", the person begs. I have no idea what's going on. The possible prince of the GoldenEye kingdom shows up from nowhere, and then Sky pops up seemingly from the ground. And what does Jason have to do with Adam? How does Sky know to ask these questions in the first place? He seems to be enjoying this. I really hope he doesn't kill him. I kinda wish I had run instead of starting to fight at this point. But I guess I didn't because of Sky.
"You wanna play some more? Ok, let's play a different game", he giggles, "I call this one 'Dodge the Knife". Oh Notch no. I can see Ty take a step to intervene, but it's too late. I can help but start shaking as Sky rushes at the man and tackles him over. Sky holds a knife to the man's throat. For the first time since meeting him, I'm scared of Sky. I didn't know he was like this. Does he see everything like a game!? But a part of knows that this isn't really Sky. Any move we make now could possibly set him off, and he'll kill the man. Prince Adam or not, he at least deserves a chance to explain himself.
Everything's gone to a stand still at this point, both sides waiting for the other to make it's move. "Please don't hurt them", a small voice speaks up. My gaze snaps away from Sky and over to the person who spoke. There stands Jason, his space suit discarded and somehow standing mere feet away from the two men. No one dares to try and pull him back with the knife still pressed against skin. Sky isn't looking at Jason, but staring at the dirt with an unfocused gaze. "You said that you would keep your promise to me. You said that you would give me a piggyback ride when you got back", Jason wines stepping even closer. Sky's head snaps up as he watches Jason. He looks...... confused? The dagger flicks in his hand, embedding itself into the fabric of the stranger's shirt collar. Sky then slowly moves into a crouch and continues to watch the small boy. I'm pretty sure that everyone is holding their breath at this point. "Can we go back home soon? I miss Dad", Jason pleads, actually reaching out and tugging on Sky's arm guard. "But I don't want to go back", Sky says, his eyes losing their glazed look.
I then hear a thud from beside me. I flinch away and turn my head to see that Mitch fainted, face down in the dirt. Jerome is shaking him and trying to get him to wake up. What just happened? Loud laughing makes me look back at Sky. He's now sitting on the ground and almost crying in laughter. Not his creepy laugh that shows when he jumped off the deep end, but the one uses when he's joking with us.
"Poor Mitch. I think he's going to want to throttle me when he wakes up", he giggles. Sky then loops an arm around Jason's waist and pulls him into hug. "And what are you doing all the way out here? You didn't leave Dillion and Jeffery all alone did you?", He teases Jason. "Dad said he would watch them while I came to find you", Jason squeals, hugging Sky back. At this point a few people have dragged the stranger back away from Sky. I still don't know if he's Prince Adam or not, but Sky's earned my trust while he has not, even if he can be really creepy.
(Sky's POV)
I've missed this little kid for a really long time now. He's probably been the only person I've ver missed before. The first time I thought of him again was in a dream. From that point on I'd think about him on and off when I could remember. My insanity has dropped almost completely now that I'm letting it.
I swing Jason around onto my back and jump to my feet. He squeals in delight and clings to me like a spider. I hold up his legs, but I don't hold is left one too tightly. "What are you all doing standing around? Don't you have a camp to run?", I ask all al the people just standing around. Some quickly leave, probably afraid of me. Others glance sheepishly at one another before going to go whatever they do all day.
Mitch suddenly sits up with a half snarl before lurching to his feet. "You have a lot of explaining to do", he growls at me. I can't hide my smirk. "We can't go and have a tea party first? It has been a very eventful day", I laugh. He growls at me again and marches over to me. He then grabs me by the arm and pulls me over to the big tent where Quinten's map is. I would've made him drag me I but don't want Jason to fall off my back.
"Hi Aleasa!", I chirp at the girl as we pass her. She can only stare at me in shock. I can't help giggling at her reaction. I might as well have fun while I still can. Jerome is of corse following us, Ty right behind. Ian and Quinten are wordlessly following. And I bet Aleasa will follow once she comes to her senses. It's kinda sad that my game is going to end soon. It was getting really fun. I guess it'll be ruined one way or another.
