The Reborn
Uh, I don't know?

I sighed irritated and hugged Sparky’s teddy bear. “Can you please stop making those weird faces? If you don’t want to help, I can go and Google it.” I told them as Windy and Sparky were grinning like the Cheshire cat and it looks kind of creepy.

“NOO!!” they yelled in the same time and pulled me back on the bed when I got up to leave.

Sparky sobered up. “Fine. No more smiling now. TELL US YOUR PROBLEM.” aaand she’s back to hyper-happy mode.

“Yes, Shadow. Tell us.” Both of them moved closer to me with an expecting look. God, why I don’t have at last one normal friend?

Because you’re not normal either.

Shut up and go back to your Dark corner. See what I did there?

That was lame.

No it wasn’t. You just suck at recognising a good joke.

“Can you please stop? I already don’t like talking about this kind of things and you aren’t making my situation better.” I whined and the girls stared at me.

“Oh, no. She is talking about the talk.” Windy said and Sparky approves her while I turn crimson red and shook my head.

“NO. God, no. Not that talk! Just let me to fucking explain, woman!”

“Okay. We are all ears.”

I took a deep breath and told them the little discussion I had with Sam and how I ended up here with 2 crazy preschoolers stuck in bodies of adults woman.

“And, yeah. That’s all.” I ended my speech and clapped my hands awkwardly.

Windy hummed. “Firstly, Sam is right.” I groaned and buried my face in the teddy bear “And secondly, we need to make you to believe it since everyone else, and when I say everyone I mean absolutely everyone knows that you 2 are perfect for each other.”

I opened my mouth to say something, but Sparky stopped me. “No. Don’t say a single thing. Me and Windy will ask you some questions and you will answer them. You can tell us the answer or you can keep them for yourself, but at the end you have to tell us your conclusion. Okay?”

I sighed. “Fine.”

Windy was the first one to ask. “How do you feel when you go to your practice with him.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Excited, but this doesn’t explain anything. I’m excited because I can learn new tricks and I can practice my reflexes.”

She shared a look with Sparky. “She’s a stubborn one.”

“Yup. Next question. If you don’t feel a single thing for him why do you look like a tomato when he tells you a pick up line?” Sparky asked I wracked my brain for an answer.

“Because I have light skin and I turn red when I make too much physical effort or if I laugh too hard or if it’s too hot.”

Sparky narrowed her eyes at me and Windy asked the next question. “Why are you always so calm and nice around him? At the beginning you were a 100% bitch.”

“Well, I said that I should give him a chance and I realised that I was rude with him for no reason. He was always nice to me so I said that I should be nice with him too.”

Windy rubbed her temples and Sparky asked. “Do you miss the practice? Do you miss talking with him and throwing come backs at each other? Do you miss him?”

My lips formed a thin line and I hugged the teddy. Do I miss him? Hell yeah. I actually do miss that idiot. He may be annoying the shit out of me sometimes, but I enjoy his company. He always knows what to tell me when I’m mad or sad and he knows when to make jokes and when to be serious. He is very calm and patient with me when he explains something new and he repeats the explanation until I finally get the hold of it. He’s responsible and thinks twice before he makes any kind of decision, especially when it involves his team. He may have some things to learn about how to be a better leader, but so do I. He’s everything I’m not and I’m completely fine with it. I actually like it.

Then the reality hit me in the face. I like Sharpedon. I freaking like him.

“By the face she has I think that she finally realised it.” Windy said and chuckled.

“What face?” I asked confused and tiles my head.

“You look like a scared deer. Or like a students when he sees the first question on the exam and he didn’t learn a single thing.” Sparky said and chuckled along with Windy.

“Oh.” I said, but my mind was racing faster than it ever had. I like him, but he doesn’t like me back and now things will be awkward and he will see that and he will ask me what’s wrong and I’ll tell him that everything’s fine and he won’t believe me and I’ll freak out and run and we won’t talk anymore. And I’ll probably move to another region to avoid the awkwardness.

“Why do you still have that face? Is it so bad that you like him? I know that you’re not used to this kind of things but-”

I stopped Windy by shaking my head. “It’s not that.”

“Then?” Sparky asked and I bite my lip.

“He doesn’t like me back and because of you two things will get awkward.”

They shared a look and facepalmed in the exact same time.

“How, in the name of cyclones, can you 2 be so fucking stupid! HOW!” Windy said exasperated and Sparky was staring at me with a face that told that she was trying to calm down.

“Uh, I don’t know?” I shrugged and smiled sheepishly.

Sparky took my face in her hands. “You my dear Shadow, are stupid. He fucking likes you, but you are too stupid to see it!! And he is as stupid as you are!”

I slapped her hands away. “I don’t believe anything until I hear it from his mouth.”

Sparky turned to Windy. “He needs a boys talk. Let’s announce Ash and Aiden.” Windy nodded and they turned to leave.

I scoffed. “Yes because Ash and Aiden are the best at talking about feelings and this kind of things.”

The girls stopped in front of the door. “She’s right. Even Teddy the bear is more sentimental than Ash and Aiden.” Windy nodded again.

“Hazel and Leaf, here we come!” Windy said and with that, the girls disappeared.

I’m already imagining Leaf and Hazel with glasses and a clipboard interrogating poor Sharpedon. Maybe they will play good cop bad cop. That would be something.

I stretched and got up. Speaking of Sharpedon, let’s go and see what is he doing.

Sleeping, obviously.

Maybe he woke up. Who knows?

Or maybe not.

Why you are so pessimistic?

As I am you, I have the duty to remaind you the bad situations too or you’re dreams will be crush.

You are crushing my dreams right now, so you’re no helping.

At last I’m trying.

I nodded my head as I entered the hospital. The residential area is a 10 minutes walk away from the hospital since almost everyone is part of a team and needs to be close to the hospital.

“Hello, miss Moonlight. Everything is alright?”

At the reception desk was the happy nurse that helped me when I woke up.

I smiled at her. “Hello and yes everything is fine. I’m here to see a friend.”

She smiled sadly. “Then I hope that you’re friend will get well soon. Goodbye!”

I waved my hand and muttered “Me too.” But she didn’t heard me.

To be honest, this white walls are starting to annoy me and gave me an claustrophobic feeling. I spent too much time here and this has to stop.

I stopped in front of the familiar plain white door and took a deep breath before I entered. All my hopes of him waking up were crushed when I saw him laying down like any other day.

“Hi, Sharp. You are starting to annoy me with all this laying down and pretending to be dead. I know that you like to annoy me, but this is too much. Anyway, Lincoln was released yesterday and his side is almost fully healed and my hand is healed. I still have to make some exercises for my back, but I’m feeling way more better than before. And it could have been worst, so I’m kind of thankful.” I stopped and placed my hand on his. “Come on, Gaze. Wake up. The guys miss you, I miss you, Blast misses you and even Python asked about you and that is something. We all miss you and my life is too peaceful without you around and it’s getting boring. You were keeping me entertained.”

“I’m glad that I’m keeping you entertained.”

My head snapped at his face, but his mouth was close as his eyes were. I looked around the room and saw no one.

“What the....” I mumbled staring at the window. Maybe someone was talking from outside?

“What the what?”

I looked back at his face and it was like 10 seconds ago. I rubbed my temples.

“God, I think that I received too many punches in the head. I’m starting to hear things.”

A deep chuckle filled the silence of the room and this time when I looked at him, he was smiling and looking at me amused.

I was blinking and gawping at him. “Are you for real or I’m dreaming or hallucinating.”

He placed one hand where his heart is. “Aww. She is dreaming about me. I’m flattered, Red. But I’m as awake as I can ever be. I can slap you if you don’t believe m-” I cut him off when I almost jumped on him and hugged him.

“You are a fucking idiot. I was so fucking worried and you are playing stupid jokes with me.” I mumbled as my face was buried in his chest and my eyes were stinging from tears.

He hugged me back and started to rub my back. “I’m sorry. I didn’t meant to. I thought that it would be funny. I’m really sorry.”

“It’s fine. I understand. Just don’t scare me like that ever again. For a minute o thought that you won’t wake up.” I said and hugged him a little tighter.

He scoffed. “Please. I’m a freaking pure hybrid and a Dark royal. I can’t be killed so easily.”

I smirked and looked at him. “That’s something I would say. I’m starting to rub off on you.”

His eyes widen. “You are right. I’m turning into a blonde bitch.” he said worried and I let go of him.

“Blonde bitch? Are you fucking serious?” I got up to leave, but he cached my wrist and pulled me back in a hug.

“Oh, come on little Red. I’m kidding. You are somewhere between blonde and brunette.” I slapped his shoulder as he started to laugh.

“You woke up as a bigger pain in the ass that you already were. I think that your brain stayed too long without oxygen.” I smirked as he glared at me.

“Ha, ha. That was so funny that I forgot to laugh.” he said sarcastically and kept glaring.

“Actually you laughed. Ha, ha means that you laughed so....” he used his right arm to get my head into a headlock and with his other free one he stared to ruffle my hair.

“HA, HA, HA, HA, HA. Now I’m laughing.”

“Let me go you ugly monkey!” I whined and tried to get out of his hold, but even when he’s injured he still is stringer than me.

“No until you say that I’m the most funniest person you know and that I’m hot as hell.”

“I’m sorry, but my mother told me that it’s bad to lie.” I said and he started to rub his knuckles on my head.

“I can keep going the whole day, Red.”

I bite his arm that was holding my head and he hissed and let go of me.

“The only sexy one here is me.” I said as I ran my hands through my hair trying to make my hair stay in a single direction, but it’s futile.

He scoffed. “Yes because the nest on your head is sexy as fuck.”

I glared at him as I tied my hair in a messy bun. “Someone would find me hella hot and sexy with this mess you made. If you don’t like it this doesn’t means that someone else won’t like it.”

He crossed his arms, his happy mood gone. “Yeah, whatever. Let’s change the subject.”

I rolled my eyes. “Whatever. Just don’t get your panties in a twist.”

“So, how are you feeling?”

“I just told you. My arm is fine, but I still have-”

He shook his head. “I heard that. I was talking about the emotional part.”

“Oh.” I said and shrugged. “Fine I guess.”

He scoffed again. “Yes because finding out that your parents were killed by the biggest jackass from this entire world and not by who you knew is completely fine. I may be injured, but I’m not stupid.”

I shrugged again. “I don’t exactly how I feel about it and I didn’t had time to think about it. I was a little busy.”

“With what? Did I missed something?” he asked and tiled his head to the side.

I smiled. “You missed few things. One of them is that I found Sam or actually he found me.”

He squirmed his eyes. “Sam is the last quadruplet, right?”

I nodded my head. “Yes and now comes the bad part. He is Spike, but he saved my life! After you knocked Black out, he had to kill me, but my mask disappeared and he saved my ass. And he is now on our side.”

“I want to have a talk with him.” He said with a serious face leaving no room for arguments.

I sighed. “Fine, but don’t punch him. Flame already did that. And he already helped us by erasing Black’s memory about our exact location. Now all he remembers is that H.I.D.E is somewhere in Boltmountain and that we all are there.”

He nodded his head. “Okay. I’ll thank him after I receive my answers. And maybe I’ll punch him.”

“Come on, give him a break. I told you that Flame already punched him and you know how strong his punches are!” I tried to reason with him, but he glared at me.

“He wanted to kill me! He had his gun pointed right at my head and if you weren’t so damn smart, I would be dead! So I can’t just fucking ‘give him a break’.” his voice raised with ever word he said.

I glared at him and clenched my fists. “And you were saying that I’m a bitch and I like holding grudges? Do you really think that if he would have known that you were one of my friends, he would have done that? If you think yes, then you are dump as fuck. He freaking ran away from them in the middle of the fucking night or he would have been killed on the spot and he is now helping me with my research! I may not be a genius, but I can see when someone is bad or not.” I yelled at him angrily trying to keep my cool as much as I could.

“I’m not saying that you can’t make the difference between a bad person that pretends to be a good and a true good person. I’m just saying that sometimes you tend to make decisions a little too quick and you don’t analyse everything.”

I throw my hands in the air exasperated and got up from my seat. “Again with that bullshit? We had this discussion before. But you know what? Do whatever the fuck you want. I don’t even care. And to be honest, I like you more when you were only laying down and not throwing shit at me and my brother. You should take a nap. Maybe when you’ll wake up, you won’t be such a jerk.”

He sighed. “Shadow, I didn’t-” I cut him off by slamming the door after I exited the room.

I plumbed down on one of the many chairs from the hall and sighed.

Is he for real? First he tells me that he wants to punch Sam and then he says that I’m only taking his part because ‘I tend to make decisions a little too quick’. And that was a bitch move and fucking rude. I thought that we were already over this. And in the name of God, I freaking know my own quadruplet! He wouldn’t do something like that. He cares about us too much. He won’t risk losing us and that’s what Sharpedon doesn’t know and even of I’d told him, he wouldn’t understand.

I kicked the ground with my feet before I got up and went for a walk.

I have to calm down before I blow out the whole electricity from the hospital.
