0 ReviewsAlexis couldn't stop Chazz from leaving the academy but at least she got a good bye kiss and the promise that he would return. AlexisxChazz
Don't Leave Yet
It was the middle of the night and she should be asleep by now but she wasn't. She was awakened not by the noises of someone making a mid night snack in the dorm's kitchen and not by the dreams or nightmare about her missing brother as she had woken up in other nights. This time she was awakened by the strange feeling that someone was leaving. Chazz had lost a duel against Jaden but he wouldn't take it so badly as to leave the academy would he?
Alexis shook her head and let her head fall back into the soft pillow. She stared at the ceiling unable to go back to sleep until she decided she might as well get up. She put on her Obelisk blue uniform and waked in circles around the girl's dorm until the cool breeze of the night appeared to call her.
She ventured into the darkness outside with an uneasy feeling but she didn't know why. She had gone out at night before. She had visited the place where her brother disappeared many times. She was cautious when she was there but not fearful. She felt sadness because she missed her brother so much and sometimes anger at whoever or whatever took him away in that place. But she wasn't going there tonight.
Her footsteps led her down a path that another Obelisk blue student had walked not too long ago. The forest like surroundings of the island were filled with the sounds of the night but it was as if she did not hear them. She knew where she was going and she knew why. It was all clear to her now. He was leaving, she felt as if she couldn't stop him but she had to try.
She left the dense forest behind and approached the calm endless ocean. There he was staring at the soft waves in the light of the full moon and the many stars. "Chazz"
"What re you doing here Alexis?" He knew it was her. He recognized her voice without turning around to face hr.
"I could ask you the same thing" Alexis said coming closer and standing beside him.
"I asked first" Chazz said showing no emotion in his voice.
"You're thinking about leaving aren't you?" Alexis asked. She didn't feel like going in circles anymore. She got to the point even if she knew she wouldn't like the answer.
"It's none of your business!" He snapped.
"Yes it is!" She yelled back. "The students of Obelisk blue watch out for each other" She paused as if waiting for him to say something and continued when he didn't. "Is it because of Jaden? Are you leaving because of him? I lost in a duel also. It might not have been an official duel in terms of the academy but it was important enough for me. Even so I'm not running away"
"Did you duel in front of the entire academy? Did you fill your deck with rare new cards that failed to help you anyway? I had the advantage Alexis!" Chazz yelled in anger and frustration. "I should have won"
"So that's it then? You're giving up" Alexis said with a clear hint of disappointment. "You're just going to run away instead of facing the challenge. You're a coward Chazz. I never thought of you that way but it's the only word that fits if you leave now"
"Shut up!" He was clearly not in the mood to listen to her or anyone. "You don't know what you're saying. I don't need this academy. I'll become a better duelist by myself and be sure that I will return. I'm not running away. I never run away from anything!"
There was a moment of silence after that until Alexis spoke. "But if you're coming back then why leave in the first place?" It didn't make any sense to her.
"It's something I need to do. I'll be better off leaving the academy and improving by myself" He said with less anger now. They stayed in silence looking at the star filled sky for a few minutes. "Shouldn't you be returning to your dorm?"
"I'm sure no one noticed I'm gone" Alexis said looking at him. A soft breeze blew playing with her long hair. "Shouldn't you be at your dorm too? It is your last night here after all. At least for now"
"I will return" He said once again. "I'll leave tomorrow before anyone can stop me. No one will know and I expect you to keep it a secret"
"What if I don't?" Alexis asked.
"It won't change anything. I'll still leave" Chazz said.
"I guess this is good bye then" Alexis said making it clear that she still disapproved of his decision to leave Duelist Academy.
In the rush of the moment he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a kiss. "It's not good bye. I told you I'll be back"
Alexis was taken surprise but she kissed him back. They returned to their respective rooms shortly after that and no one knew that Chazz was leaving until the next day. Alexis even looked surprised when she supposedly found out. She knew she couldn't stop him. He was too stubborn to change his mind but she tried to see him once more before he left. A few strange distractions occurred that delayed her and prevented her from attempting to stop him one last time but she knew he would return to Duelist Academy some day soon.
