-Chapter 2/A Hidden Secret-
"My bracelet...?" Owen asked, a frown on his face, as Elaine nodded.
"Yes. I can't explain more now, people might be listening, and it's a very long story that you might not even believe. But it is more important than anyone will believe." Elaine said, and Owen frowned.
"So... You said that you're Elaine?" Owen asked, and the girl nodded.
"Yes, my name is Elaine Hunter." Elaine said, and Owen returned the nod.
"I'm Owen Green." Owen said, as he held out a hand to introduce himself, and Elaine smiled as she shook it, and then turned her head to the alley.
"I'll explain what I meant when we meet next. And we will meet again; I have that feeling." Elaine said, and looked back to Owen for a second, before a beeping rang through the area, and then frowned as she checked her Cy-Phone.
"I'm sorry; I have to go, this is urgent." Elaine apologized, and Owen nodded.
"It's okay, I understand. See ya." Owen said, and Elaine smiled once more, before she ran off quickly. Owen then frowned, as he tried to piece together what just happened, and shook his head.
What did I get myself into this time...? Owen thought with a sigh, as he walked back to his house quickly.
Owen laid on his bed with his eyes closed. He was asleep, but his consciousness seemed to be going over the day's events, as images flashed in his mind of the different things that had happened, like running into Elaine in the afternoon, and then the confrontation in Cornerstone Alley. However, the scene suddenly changed, as Owen started to move around in his sleep.
Owen frowned, as he looked around where he was. The place was... off somehow. It seemed to be void of substance, as the only surroundings was black nothingness, tinted with some purple here and there. Owen looked down, and saw a translucent purple 'platform' of sort that they were standing on. Owen twisted to his side, as his hands clenched slightly, eyes still closed.
Owen looked up with a puzzled look, as he saw that Elaine was there, and seemed to be injured, as she was holding her shoulder. Owen tried to call out, but no sound appeared. Another twist to the opposite side.
Elaine motioned to Owen's arm, and the boy looked down, and saw that a glow had appeared around his wrist. Owen looked back up, and Elaine smiled, and then moved her lips to form a word, but no sound appeared again, as the surroundings started to fragment around the two of them, a crack or tear of some sorts starting to glow on the west 'wall' of the platform.Owen snapped his eyes open, and looked around with a blink, as he sat up quickly and glanced at the clock, which read 6:30.
"What... What was that all about?" Owen mumbled out loud, before laying back down and closing his eyes once more.
Owen woke up at approximately 9:30 after that, and yawned slightly.
What should I do now? Not much going on, given that it's a Sunday... Owen thought, as he shrugged, and quickly changed into his clothes, and walked down the stairs. No-one seemed to be home, so he searched for stuff to do, but nothing seemed to interest him. Owen then remembered a portion of what happened the day before, and frowned, as he looked down at his Bracelet, still confused.
What is so important about my Bracelet? And why did that guy try to attack me yesterday, anyway...? Owen thought, and then grabbed his Cy-Phone, and tossed it into his bag, as he walked outside.
Maybe I can find out some answers... Owen thought, as he looked around, and then decided to head toward downtown.
Owen walked toward the shopping district, and stopped on the side of the road, as he saw a blondish-haired girl standing on the opposite side of the road, looking at the nearby lake. However, after a car passed not too long after that, there was no-one there, and Owen frowned. He started to walk down the road, but someone walked up to him, and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to go to the opposite side, this area has been marked off-limited, and will be barricaded soon." The man said, and Owen frowned once more, but nodded, though found it weird at the same time. Owen started across the street, and then looked in the opposite, as someone familiar rapidly approached him.
Oh? Owen thought, as he recognized the person as Elaine. However, as he was about to greet Elaine, she smiled mischievously.
"Hi!" Elaine said, and ran up to Owen before he could react, and then smirked.
"What are you around here for, buying something for your girlfriend?" Elaine teased, and Owen shook his head.
"No... I don't have a girlfriend." Owen said, and Elaine nodded.
"I see. Just looking around then? I get it, I do it myself sometimes." Elaine said, and her smile widened a bit.
I have a bad feeling about this... Owen said as a bead of sweat ran down his face, as Elaine looked at the shopping district for a second.
"So; you would be able to help me with a few things then? I need to get something, so you'd be a big help." Elaine said, and another bead of sweat ran down Owen's face.
Knew it. Owen thought, but smiled.
"Alright. Didn't have anything else to do anyway, so why not?" Owen said, but looked away for a second as a car pass, long enough to miss a slight blush from Elaine as she likely wasn't expecting him to actually agree, and then turned back as Elaine smiled.
"Alright then; let's go."
Owen smiled slightly, as he paused for a second, and looked up at a sign nearby.
"Another Cyber Corp sign. They've got a lot of things advertising the new Cy-Phone." Owen said, as Elaine looked up, and nodded, slightly distracted.
"Yeah, they do." Elaine mumbled, as she turned back to looking at the different signs of the buildings.
"Ah, here we go; come on!" Elaine said, as she ran into a nearby store, and caused Owen to sigh.
She really takes shopping seriously... Owen thought, as he followed her quickly, and looked around.
"Clothes...?" Owen wondered out loud, as he recalled that she had on a different outfit on every time he had seen her so far, and another bead of sweat ran down his face. However, he walked around, and turned his head and raised an eyebrow, as Elaine walked out of the dressing room.
"What do you think?" Elaine asked, as she had a red t-shirt and blue skirt on.
"It looks good." Owen said with a smile, and Elaine thought for a second.
"I dunno. I'll try on something else." Elaine said, and Owen stared at the curtain that she disappeared behind blankly.
... This is gonna be a while... Owen said, as she appeared again in a blue tank top and light blue skirt, and then looked in the mirror, shook her head, and then disappeared again.
After a while, Elaine emerged in a light blue and light green two-tone t-shirt, and a mint green skirt, that had a few hints of black in it.
"Hmm... I think this looks good." Elaine said with a nod, as Owen blinked, and nodded slowly.
"Alright, it does look good. Wasn't that outfit four, though?" Owen asked, and Elaine shook her head.
"No, number five. I think this looks the best, though." Elaine said, and then smiled.
"Now then, where to go now? What should I get now?" Elaine mused, and Owen frowned.
"Didn't you say there were some things you needed to get?" Owen asked, and Elaine blinked, and then blushed slightly, and nodded.
"R-right! Yeah, I need to get some things!" Elaine said with a slightly nervous chuckle, as Owen looked at her blankly before she disappeared behind the curtain of the changing room, as yet another bead of sweat ran down his face, and he glared at the heater which was on in the middle of summer for some reason.
Why do I have a feeling she doesn't need anything? Owen thought, as she appeared once more, and then grabbed Owen's arm, and started to drag him toward the checkout registers.
"Come on!" Elaine said cheerfully, as Owen mentally sighed, but slightly smiled.
