" Where are we going? "
Sia asked Aidan as He lead her through a narrow path ,It was inside NOWHERE.
The path was filled with rocks ,gigantic rocks that Soa could have thought She was in some ancient days in history class.
However, the path looked just like a Museum collection of rocks.
" Seriously, you're not going to answer me"
She called out to him.
" Walk faster"
He said without looking back.
" Such a Jerk"
She mumbled.
He turned.
" Oh so I call you 'Jerk' and you can turn back at least"
" Phisssh"
He signed.
" Just walk faster"
She wanted to get angry, She didn't know why.
They kept on moving, jumping over rocks, Sia started to get tired.
She rushed to meet Aidan.
" Hey"
She said pulling at his collar.
" What ! "
He turned very sharply at her.
His voice sounded harsh too.
Emotion-less.
" Humm, sorry!"
She suddenly became scared.
" Whatever"
He shaked his head and rolled his eyes.
" How long will it take to get to wherever"
She said and rolled her eyes.
" We're here"
" Seriously"
She said as she bumped into him.
" This just seems to be a continuation of our past journey"
She said looking back.
She could feel his skin close to her so She turned to face him and they were nose to nose.
" W....h....a.....t I.....M....e....a..n...
She was stammering.
What was wrong with her.
" Whatever you want to say "
" Can you be fast about it"
" We should be in there"
Aidan told her .
They were still nose to nose.
She tilted backwards.
" I wanted to say that this is just a continuation of the route we've been taking"
She looked around.
" Rocks, sand and rocks"
She said in an expression filled with sarcasm.
" If you look well"
" Huh Huh"
She said in Negation.
" Well since you're blind"
" Hey! "
She felt anger but the sight in front of her was beautiful.
" Wow! "
" This is amazing"
She said holding the reels of the entrance.
It was like a curtain of reeds and green plants.
" This is amazing
" How'd you find out"
She turned to him but He was already by the waterfall.
The place was like a gigantic waterfall hitting rocks just by her side.
There were different species of birds around ,there were all kind of animals walking through and they looked harmless.
This looked like a replication of the world in the beginning.
The Bible days before the fall of man.
The Animals moved about freely and It was such a natural setting.
Aidan kept moving about the Animals, He seemed to have a kind of connection with the animals.
She was scared anyways and decided to keep her distance.
Aidan walked about the ;what would she call it
' Paradise?.
He was happy and for the first time since she had met him ,She actually thought there could be some part of him that was still delightful and not the jerk He was used to being .
" Hey! "
He called out to her.
She was holding herself because It was quite cold because of the waterfall.
" You're cold?"
He was asking .
" No!
" No?"
" Well, nothing that I can't handle"
He stood up ,rounded a cub's hair .
" I'll be back buddy"
" He called a lion's cub his buddy"
Sia thought to herself.
" Woah!
Sia thought what it would be like to have a lion's cub as her friend.
She didn't realise that He was in front of her.
" Thinking of something ?"
" Yeah"
" What? "
He asked giving her a 'Uhn' look.
" Why did you bring me here?"
" Don't you like it here?"
He said walking through the water, where it was shallow.
She stayed out of the water.
" Well, I must admit It is beautiful"
" How did you find such a place?"
" You won't believe"
" Try me"
She told him.
" I'll pass"
He told her.
" You're unbelievable "
" I'm not gonna ask you why you said that"
" Ask me"
She urged him.
" No"
He retorted.
" Well I'll tell you anyways"
" You have such a delightful side but you're usually always stern"
" Well I can't carry this place anyway I go"
She understood what He was saying so she didn't ask any questions about it.
She slowly entered into the water and felt It as she moved in.
" Do you have a name for this place too?"
" What makes you think that I would have a name for this place?"
He asked turning to see her in the water.
He was quite suprised but didn't let it show.
" Well you named 'NOWHERE"
" Didn't you? "
She asked him.
" What makes you think I named NOWHERE?"
He asked her
" I don't know"
She thought about it ,maybe He wasn't the first person in NOWHERE .
" Well, I think we should just enjoy this place"
" Why ?
"Are you avoiding any questions?"
" She asked"
" I do not have this time"
" Seriously?"
She asked getting furious.
" I came here to have some peace"
" Really?"
" Yes"
" And you called me?"
" Yes"
" But next time I would be careful not to make that mistake"
Some sound like an Alarm went off.
" What does that mean"
" Practise"
He said coming out water leaving her in it .
" Practise?
" I don't get it"
She said coming out of the water.
They were already moving.
" Time to practice "
" What don't you get?"
" Practice!"
They were out of that paradise and were in the rocky pathway.
" Seriously!"
" Sia"
He called her Name .
It was the first time He had called her Name since a month she had been in NOWHERE.
" Wow !
She said suprise written over her face.
" What!
He asked ,they were still moving.
" You just called my name"
" So?
" You've actually been keeping such in mind?"
He turned to look at her but was still moving.
" Well It was the first time you called my name so it sounded strange when you said it"
" You're one hell of a personality "
He told her.
" I'll take that as a compliment"
" Whatever"
He said to her .
" Hurry up"
" No one says that any more"
" Says what?"
" Hurry!"
She said sharply.
" You're one hell of a personality"
" Who made 'Hurry' inappropriate "
" It's not inappropriate, It's extinct"
" You're crazy"
" You know?"
He told her.
" It's how it is"
She told him.
" Well that phrase has gone into extinction also"
He told her.
" Whatever"
She told him.
" What's practice all about"
" you find out when we get there"
There was silence the rest of the way .
They were both thinking .
Aidan was thinking about Sia.
Sia was thinking about Aidan.
Sia was right.
He was avoiding his past.
He didn't want to re-visit his past.
His terrible past that made him what He was.
She was right when She said He still had a delightful part in him.
He was stern and his heart was , well He had no heart.
He had to get to Sia .
She had a purpose and Aidan knew that together they could actualize whatever purpose they had .
He knew they had common goals.
Sia was thinking.
Aidan, why did He call her to come with him to a place that brought him peace.
She had to get to him no matter what It would cost.
" We're here"
Aidan whispered.
" where?"
Sia asked as she stumbled out of her thoughts.
" Practice ground!"
He said and rolled his eyes.
It was like a mighty Gym and everybody was there.
All the boys.
" Hey, Sia"
Someone called out.
" We haven't been doing this before "
She whispered to Aidan.
" Well we are ,Now"
He continued to tell her.
" You stay in NOWHERE"
" You get used to the routines"
He told her pulling his jacket off.
" Practice in NOWHERE is Intense"
" What'd you mean?"
" Reduce Gravity"
He issued a command.
Sia could feel herself floating.
She was floating in air with the others.
" Aidan what's going on"
" What'd you think is going on"
" I don't know ?"
" We're floating in air"
" We're under the free influence of gravity"
" And I can't control my movement"
She said floating away as Aidan moved with her.
Everybody seemed to have control over their movement even under the influence of gravity.
They must have been practicing this for probably months.
" What type of practice is this?"
She looked around.
Everybody was engaged fighting with their partner.
" How do I go on with this? "
She asked.
She was floating away and She hit her head on a lamp board.
Aidan grabbed her and pulled her up.
" I can't put up with this"
She told him nearly in tears, her voice was choking.
" You can"
He told her .
He was going to put his hand on her shoulder but she was going to float away.
He pulled her back up.
He held her hands.
" You have to think like a rock Sia"
" To be in control of your body"
" You have to feel as heavy as anything that could overcome gravity"
He was teaching her.
" It all starts in here"
He said to her pointing to his head.
" You're teaching me?"
She asked him naively.
" No"
" Don't ask me stupid questions"
He asked her randomly.
She wanted to fall but He held on to her again.
" Do what I asked"
He commanded her.
" What?"
" Think of yourself as something very heavy"
" Okay"
She closed her eyes and thought of herself as a heavy meteorite.
Landing with full force , It was going to destroy whatever It came in contact with.
The meteorite was heavy and won't be put down by any effect of gravity.
She could feel herself in control of her body.
Aidan left her.
She was about to fall .
Someone was going to get her but Aidan asked to stop.
" Let her handle this"
He told them.
She was falling through space .
She was going to hit floor but then Shw stopped falling.
" You think She can't beat it"
Someone asked.
" I know she will"
Aidan said assured .
She opened her eyes and started moving up without a stumble.
She got to Aidan.
She seemed delighted .
" I did it"
She said and hugged him.
" I know "
