Threads of Fate 2

Well, I finally decided to put this story up on the net. I wanted to write what people might want to think as a possible sequel to ToF. I liked playing as Mint the most (her magic just lessened the hassle), but the fight between Rue and Doll Master was touching. So, I decided to use the base of Mint's story, but change the ending so that Rue was equally shown (I didn't like how Mint was shown in Rue's game). So, the first chapter is my rewrite of the ending. BTW, this will be Mint/Rue, but there will only be bits and pieces (sorry, no Rue and Mint making out scenes. ^_~).

~* Another Chance *~

Rue gazed out the window lazily. It was summer, and the mild heat caused his mind to wonder. Ever since the whole thing with Valen ended, life became peaceful again. Too peaceful for Rue. He was to used to the life-on-the-edge fighting-monsters-every-second kind of day. He had missed Claire, and was glad that she was back, but he also missed being out there searching ruins and exploring ateliers. He missed the Klaus family, and even missed Belle, Duke and Rod. But most of all, he missed Mint.

Life took a big turn after she had disappeared with her sister. The usual loud and bossy, but still caring voice of Mint's was gone, and he finally realized how much she played a big role. The world became quiet, basically boring, and nothing was exactly fun anymore. Klaus had been looking for a [relic] ever since, but no luck came.

"Rue, you've been sitting there gazing without even blinking for over an hour," Claire's soft voice stated.

"Are you thinking of that girl Mint again?" asked Ruenis. Rue got up, finally turning away from the window.

"Yeah… I just can't believe she's gone…."

"Hasn't it been a month?" asked Ruenis innocently.

"Ruenis, these kind of things take time to heal," told Claire, looking down at him. "Here, I'll get lunch started." Both boys nodded, and Rue went back to staring out the window.

Elsewhere, in the middle of some forest….

Two girls were on the floor, one unconscious, the other beginning to move. She got up and shook dirt of her outfit.

"Woah, what a rush…." She stated. She turned over to the other who was still sleeping. "Dear sister, I know you can't be THAT tired. Please get up." When her sister refused to move, she went over and proceeded to kick her in the stomach.

"OW!!! WHAT THE [EXPLETIVE]!!!"

"There we go /7," she giggled.

"Ugh, you snake, I outta beat you up for that…" The younger sister shrugged.

"Whatever."

"Where are we?" asked the older sister, looking around.

"Not only that, but when are we? Who knows how long we've slept," she stated.

"This isn't Carona forest, nor Gamul forest…. And the trees around the Lake Ruins didn't look like this. Neither did the ones at Fancy Mel's…"

"I think we're further up north," stated the smaller. "A lot of the trees here are Evergreens."

"You're probably right. Well, no use in waiting around. Let's explore a bit!" She took of running.

"Dear sister, wait!"

Three weeks later…

The older sister opened the door to the inn, where the younger one was inside.

"Anything?" she questioned.

"Nothing," the older replied. "No information on any [relics]. Plus they don't have any boats leaving for East Heaven soon, because of the war."

"This is hopeless…" the younger sighed.

"We just have to keep trying. Let's go outside, you've been stuck indoors all this time." The younger nodded, and both went back outside.

The village they were living in was nice and comfortable. After they had woken up, they traveled until they managed to come across it, and have been looking for any way of getting back home, ship or [relic].

"Mmm… It's such a nice day," the older stated.

"Yes, it is…." Agreed her sister. "Hey.. What's that?" She pointed up. The weirdest of birds was flying right toward them.

"Wait, I've seen those before…" but stopped because the creature full on crashed with them. After untangling their heap, both girls stood up. The bird was holding a letter.

"I think this is… YES! It's from Fancy Mel!"

"Really! That's wonderful! Please open it!"

"Yeah, yeah….."

Dear Princesses,

I know you two are still alive. You might have fooled everyone else, almost fooled Wylaf, but you can't fool me. I figured you are still trying to get home. Well, Klaus has found information leading to a new [relic]. I thought you might like to know, since they still think both of you are dead.

With love,

Mel

P.S. Rue lived around where you are staying. I thought you might like to know.

"This is wonderful!" shouted the smaller of the two. "We can finally get back home! . . . Dear sister, why are you grinning like that?"

"A [relic]…." The other muttered. "Finally …"

"On, no, you're not thinking-"

"YES!! WORLD DOMINATION TIME!!!"
