Fifteen Journey - Chapter 18

“And this is the stage, garden, and there is the fountain.”
Kane was excited presenting Levinita to his siblings. At least, he could escape work…
“Oh, and now the Tourch’s news.”
The three of them glanced at the speaking tube.
There weren’t many people, tough. The news in Levinita were spread at an incredible speed so there was just one or two people from different parts of Levinita.
The speaking tube started his chatting again. Kane didn’t pay too much attention, just understanding the defeat of four more girls, besides Number Three. However, one of the names of the girls made the crowd rebellious. Cassey Lane had been defeated by Rick Flaim! Kane was sure that a huge revolt in Levinita would start sooner or later…

The transmission’s transparent body disintegrate itself into a million tiny coloured pieces that flew to the sky.
“NOOOOOOO… no…”
‘It’s over…’ Rick fell in the ground with his eyes closed “It’s finally over!” He started laughing due to his madness. ‘I was so close of death…’
After some time of pure happiness, Rick came back to reality. Cassey was crying silently like the night he had met her. Her sobs were so pure that made Rick feel terrible.
“Are… you okay?” he asked as softly as he could.
“Stay way from me, monster!!!” she shouted while hiding her face from his.
“Hey, Rick, I’ll… ahm… be going… you know… search for Horous and stuff… Bye!” Rick understood Mike’s position. Even Rick wanted to get away from Cassey.
“Can I help you with anything?”
“Get away!” She stood up, trying to escape his touch, and he saw her face. Her eyes were red due to the escaping tears. “You assassin!!! You killed my father!!!”
Rick was stupefied. He felt too uncomfortable. Cassey saw his sorry look headed to the floor. But, then, he contacted his eyes to hers, making her burst in tears again. She let herself down, down… only to be grabbed by Rick’s arms.
“You know,… when someone dies, it doesn’t mean he’s existence was worthless, but that person has certainly changed your life.” Cassey calmed down, only sniffing “Until the day that you forget your father, he will be always alive in you.”
“It is impossible to forget him!” Cassey replied standing up.
“In that case, he will be always alive…” Rick paused smiling at her “That is the way I must keep my mother alive too…”
“You mean…”
“Yeah, my mom is dead too.”
Cassey paused. She felt horrible. Rick was probably reliving his mother’s death and Cassey should have got over it a long time ago. Besides shocked, she felt childish.
“Well, I support you.” Rick looked surprised at her “But I still don’t like you for lying to me in Levinita. Why didn’t you tell me you were a Tourch candidate?”
“Ah, you know! Confusion, and… rivality…” he replied embarrassed.
Cassey wanted to attack again but someone interrupted.
“Guys…” Mike started worried “Horous is badly injured…”

Horous is too bad. Is Cassey joining us? Rick isn’t perfect…
