Chapter 1:Just two years younger... Disclaimer:If you read the prologue, why do we have to do this again?Well, bla bla bla, we don't own IoG, yadda yadda yadda.We used to have a musical song in this, but uhhhhh...it's a bit complicated to do it on here.So we improvise.And take note it's only one person writing this...OOPS!Shouln't mention that!Now we see Bettina at 12 years old and more awesome than ever! It was an ordinary day for everyone.But for a boy, it was the beginning of a great adventure that will change the world forever.His sandy-blond hair over his red headband was abit of a mess.A flute made out of a purple stone was attached to his back.(A/N:Don't ask us how.)He was sleeping, because yesterday night he cried of his father's dissaperance, and he didn't sleep for that reason.He wasn't like that; but these days,it was like if he broke into a million pieces.His eyes and cheeks were still red from all the tears he shread. -Hey, Will!Snap it out, you sleepy head!yelled a redhead boy with brown eyes next to him.He slap the other boy, Will, on the back of the head.Will jolted awake."Huh?"he said, surprised.Then his mind came into focus.He was at school, detention again.His blue eyes showed he wasn't really awake.The teacher looked at him with a angry look on his face. -Will Stevenson, do you have an excuse for this?he demanded.Will was red peony as he told him: -I had a bad night yesterday.I couldn't sleep because...well...it's so embarrasing to tell... -'Common, Will, tell us!said the others in detention.Now Will was crimson on the face. -Uhhh...I cried. The boy who slap him, Lance Dufour, glared at him in disbelief. -You...you cried?But...I thought Erik's the only one who's like a baby. -WHAT?I don't act like a baby, Lance!yelled out a boy younger than Will and Lance, Erik Jones.Erik had red hair and brown eyes, just like Lance, even if they weren't relatives.Will gave Lance a death glare with his usually charming blue eyes. -Listen, dude.You've lost your father like me, all right.But you've still got your mom.But what about me?An orphan, living with his grandparents.Now, try not to cry when you know you're a child with no parents, an orphan. No one dared to speak.Will lost his mother Shira at a very young age.Then Will lost his father Olman at the legendary Tower of Babel.It all started when he was 13, a year older that Erik.His father had brought him with hisgroupe of explorers-including Lance's dad-to the tower.Something happen and the expidition was lost...except for one.Unfortunatly, the orphaned Will couldn't remember a thing:how he was save, how he was able to go home after his ordeal,even how helost his memory.But he has a suspect for that last thing:a thick, uneven scar hidden by his headband.The scar never looked good on him, it was hurrendous.Then the bell rang.Erik got up and packed his books.He look at Will, grining. -Hey, you should go home, Will, 'cause they might know you've been keeped for detention!I'll go home and meet you at the usual place, okay? -Speaking of the usual place, said a purple hair and green eyes boy, Seth Leblanc, I'll be there, if you're looking for me. Seth and Erik got out of the building, leaving Lance and Will together to talk alone.(A/N:No, no slash!I don't write slash.) -Will...I'm really sorry about you being an orphan, Lance told Will. -Oh, it's nothing, Lance, replied Will. -I...you see, I also cried when I learn you were the only survivor.Plus, I also cried because you were badly injured, and you were in a coma, remember?I was afraid I would lose someone else dear to me. -Uhhhh...thanks, Lance. -Let me see it again, Will...that scar of yours... Will bit his bottom lip before taking his headband off.Lance winced at the sight of the scar. -Man, that must hurt lots, Lance comment.Will shook his head and put the headband back on again to hid the scar. -I don't remember what happen, I-I don't remember how I got this...could this ha-happen wh-when...Will couldn't continue because he was on the edge of tears.Lance pass him one of his handkerchiefs.Will used it to wipe his eyes from the starting tears. -Thanks again, man, Will told him giving Lance his handkerchief back.Lance smiled and picked up his books. -So we'll meet at the cave, right?ask Will. -That's correct.See ya! -See ya later, Lance. Will ran on the stairs inside the school.He got on top of the building, and took a deep breath of fresh air.Here he could see a beautiful view of his hometown of South Cape.He adored his home;he never, ever thought to leave his place of birth...since the terrible expidition, that is.A man's voice interrupt his thoughts. -Will!Get down of there!That's a bad habit, you know! This infomation was true.Will was born as an athlete.He was athletic and fit, all right, but some people tells he's a bit too skinny for his age. Quick?Yeah!Nimble?Just say he's light on his toes.Will laughed, and being the teenager he was, he showed the man something not nice with his fingers. -WILLIAM PAUL STEVENSON!WAIT T'IL I TELL YOUR GRANDPARENTS!the man thundered.Will just laughed even more, and got off the roof on a patch of soft grass.Then he had this feeling someone was following him somehow.He shruged, but he knew he was still been watched.He jump to another roof when he heard a voice comming from the school roof.It was a female voice, around Erik's age.It sounded happy. -Hey Will!it spoke.Tell me what happen at the tower of Doom last year! Will quickly turned to the direction of the voice and yelled:"What the?!?" The reason?On the roof stood the Imposter Will, Bettina Jade, looking please with something.Behind her was her friends.Bettina was dress indentically to Will, right to the shoes.All that was different was that she didn't have a flute, and her hair was a different style.Her left side ended at Will's lengh, while the right side ended at the middle of her arm.She jumped down to Will's roof...well, the one he's on now.The others followed quickly.Which was no surprise to Will, considering how Bettina acts when something happens.Even if it's only been four years Bettina has lived in South Cape, no one really knows her well.Will sighed as she came closer. -I'm sorry, young one.But it's no use to ask me.Despite the fact it's been a year it happen, I still have some kind of amnesia. Bettina stifle a laugh and only giggled. -Young one?she said, unbeliveing.I'm just two years younger, Will!And my name is Bettina Jade, the orphan of the streets. Will sighed even louder, for the fact she like to give him a reality check. -All right, Bettina.You win.I just know one thing, okay?I just know this. -Oh, oh, what is it?Bettina ask as she jumps like a kid being given candy. -Well...you see this flute?he questionned her as he showed the purple music instrument.Bettina gave him a look that told him:"Hey, I'm not five years old, you know." -This flute...my father gave it to me in the Tower. -Before or after you got your scar?another kid ask. -What do you think?I don't know!Now...oh, not...I'M LATE AGAIN! Will jump off the roof and runs to his house fast.Bettina's gang just struged their shoulders and gets off the roof, and Bettina went to her hidden place to find her most prized possetion. Bettina looked at her place.It was not really good looking, but it provided her shelter and comfort.She enter it and went to her treasure chest.She open it and pulled out a golden metal flute...
