Juniper Lee Porn Story: Love Life Regret – Chapter 13

Love, Life, & Regret

Chapter 13: Under the Sky So Blue

Juniper awoke to the smell of bacon wafting through the air. She rubbed her eyes and yawned stepping out of bed and reaching into air, stretching her back. It had been a long, long night.

Carefully she pulled on her jeans and her familiar green t-shirt. Limping down the stairs, she was greeted by what had become a welcome sight. Ashley was wearing her apron and flipping some eggs while Ray-Ray chewed his pancakes. The Asian teen couldnt help but smile at that.

Good morning, June, Ashley happily chimed in as she set down a plate with bacon, eggs, and pancakes.

Thanks Ash, Juniper replied, picking at her meal.

The same question was on everyones mindhad anyone heard from Chris? He had been gone for several days now. Ah-Mah and Ashley had used a spell that would keep his disappearance hidden. Mr. and Mrs. Lee would see him even though nothing was really there the same way anyone who expected to see him would. It kept them from asking questions and it was easier than creating a body double.

The sky outside was crystal clear, not a cloud in the sky. It was one of those rare, perfect days. They were too few and far between. It was a day for new beginnings

The portal to the magical realm had dropped him back in the Blazing Sands. This place held horrible memories for him. The life he had takenhe couldnt forget her face, that look. Of all the scars he carried, she was the worst. Could he ever truly be forgiven for killing Lust? It was a question of morality. If he hadnt taken the pink haired girls life, she would have killed all of those innocent people and yet there had to have been another way to stop her, he just hadnt seen it in time.

He couldnt change the past. He couldnt bring her back and allowing despair to overwhelm him wouldnt do any good. Kale was still out there and as long as he was free to do as he pleased more innocent lives would be lost.

I wont let that happen, Chris sternly declared taking the first step on the long road to recovery.

Ray-Ray watched his sister and Ashley. It was funny, Juniper had started out hating Ashley and nowthey were practically friends. A lot had happened to them in the past several weeks. The past that had haunted Chris had finally come to settle the score. The Seven Deadly Sins better known as the Seven Devils had been loosed upon the world once more. Rage, Lust, Greed, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, and Vanity. One by one they had appeared and challenged Juniper and her team under the lead of a mystery man with blue hair.

Jody discovered for the first time why Juniper and Chris were always running off and calling off plans. Chris and Jody had begun dating. He even introduced her to the world of magic and to his dragon friend, Haku. Unfortunately, she had become a target because of her exposure to the truth. In all likeliness, she would have been a target whether she knew the truth or not. However, no one could have foreseen what came next.

Greed and Envy attacked, kidnapping Jody. When Chris caught up with them things took a turn for the worse. Convinced she had been killed, he gave into his despair. The grief from the loss of his parents, the hatred for the woman who had taken their lives, and now the desperation of losing Jody gave way to the birth of an art long thought extinct. Firecasting was in Chris blood, literally. A genetic trait handed down from generation to generation, much like the role of the Te Xuan Ze was in the Lee family.

Using his newfound powers Chris broke away from his adopted family and set out to finish things his way. Juniper and Ashley could only sit idly by while he destroyed himself. In the end, it was the unforgivable act of taking a life that showed Chris the error of his ways. After spending nearly a week in a catatonic state, he awoke to find his friends and family still standing behind him.

Now all that remained were the loose ends. Ray-Ray stood and ran after Juniper and Ashley. Despite Chris wishes they had decided to go after him.

You coming Ray-Ray? Juniper asked offering the twelve year old a hand onto the white scaled dragon.

A big smile crossed the youngest Lees face as he grabbed his sisters hand and pulled himself aboard.

He had been walking for hours. There were no visible landmarks around, just lots and lots of sand and yet somehow he knew he was going in the right direction. The burning sun flashed off his glasses as he looked up into the sky taking deep breaths. The rags he wore as a cloak and shield from the sand whipped against his body. His hair fluttered as a gust of hot air washed over him. He was close now, just a bit farther.

What would he say when he met up with this man Kale? Would there be anything worth saying? Though Rage had been the one to do the deed, Kale was the man who ordered Chris parents death. The blue haired man was taking revenge for what Chris father had done.

The bespectacled teen topped another dune and stopped. His eyes adjusted as something came into view. A building of some kind. It was the perfect hide away out here in the middle of nowhere. He took a deep breath and then picked himself up. It was time to finish this.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

The building was actually just a large metallic dome. A door suddenly appeared and slid open showing Chris the way in. Inside he shook himself free of the sand. There were no other doors beyond that one barren room. Looking around another door suddenly appeared and lead him into another room much like the first. The pattern continued as doors mysteriously opened leading him into adjacent rooms until he was brought to a wide room with green grass and a blue sky. It was a perfectly preserved artificial environment, but not what Chris had been expecting.

Its beautiful, isnt it? a voice came from behind.

He turned to come face to face with the blue haired teen he had fought at the factory. That seemed like an eternity ago as he looked hard at the person standing in front of him.

Youve had a long journey, why dont you have a seat, take a load off? Kale offered in a strangely kind voice.

Chris obliged walking over to a steel patio table and pulling back the chair. Set out in front of him was a pitcher of ice cold water and two glasses. Carefully he poured a glass for himself and pulled it to his dry lips. It burned his parched throat as it slid down, but at the same time it was the sweetest drink he had ever tasted.

Do you know who I am? Kale asked sitting down across from Chris.

The bespectacled teen looked at him over the top of his glasses, but didnt answer.

If I was to tell you I could make the perfect world, one where there was no war, no poverty, no disease, one where you could be reunited with your parents, what would you say? Would you take me up on my offer? the blue haired teen continued.

Chris stood and pulled off his ragged cloak, Id tell you to take your offer and shove it. Your perfect world is one where you rule. No one stands against you and anyone that does is killed. Your peace is as fake as your compassion.

Kale sighed and bowed his head, Youre just as foolish as your father was.

The bespectacled teen reached into his pocket pulling out two black fingerless gloves with strips of metal on the back, My father was a great man who did what was right. He finished, tightening the gloves on his hands.

And yet hes the one thats dead, Kale retorted trying to get a rise out of the young firecaster.

You didnt have the courage to face him yourself, you had to send someone else to kill him for you, Chris came back stepping back into a fighting stance.

Lets hope youre better at this than your father, Kale stated mimicking Chris.

Haku soared through the air with the kids hanging from his back. There was no sign of Chris anywhere. Juniper wiped her forehead as they passed over the rock formation where Chris and Lust had met for the first and last time. Why would anyone come to this place? It was what they were all thinking. The Blazing Sands were as dry as a politicians heart.

What are we doing here? Ray-Ray finally blurted out breaking the silence.

Ashley slid up behind him resting her head on his shoulder, Were looking for Chris and Jody.

He almost missed that last part, What? What do you mean looking for Jody? I thought she wasyou know

Dead? Juniper asked piping in, We all did, but Ashley found something pretty interesting, didnt you Ash?

The blonde witch giggled slightly, something she hadnt done in a long time, When someone dies their spirit does one of two things. It either goes to be judged or, if the person died tragically and without reason, stays on Earth as a ghost. Jody would have been one of those ghosts that was stuck on Earth and therefore I should have been able to contact her.

Ray-Ray let all that sink in as Haku sailed closer to the ground, avoiding the massive heat drafts or at least trying to.

So wait, if you couldnt find her then he started.

It means shes still alive, Juniper finished.

Ashley wanted them to think that, but she had to tell the whole story, Or it means shes already gone ahead to be judged.

Juniper bowed her head. She didnt want that to be true. She knew it couldnt be the truth. Jody had to be alive, she just had to be!

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Chris dove away as Kale swung. He remembered how strong the blue haired teen was. Their first fight had shown that Kale had rock hard skin and enough strength to crush a boulder with his bare hands.

Leaping into the air, flipping over his attackers head, Chris drove his knee into Kales tailbone as hard as he could. The result was anything but what he expected. His leg throbbed as Kale laughed, turning to face him. Every inch of his body was solid muscle and hitting that felt like punching steel.

Not off to a very good start are we? Kale asked resting his hand on Chris shoulder.

Suddenly the blue haired teen whipped Chris up into the air and slammed him back down into the ground. Chris hit with so much force he couldnt breathe. Before he had a chance to catch his breath Kale kicked him like a football sending him crashing to ground several feet away.

You disappoint me boy, Kale continued, popping his knuckles as he approached, at least your father made me sweat! He yelled throwing a punch.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Haku continued flying, following his nose in the same direction Chris had gone. He couldnt believe that boy had gone after Kale alone. After their first encounter he should have known better! Then againpatience was never Chris strong suit. He was built for fighting, for righting wrongs, the same way his father was.

Hey whats that? Ray-Ray shouted snapping the dragon out of his thoughts.

It was a giant dome, but what was it doing way out there in the middle of nowhere? Wasnt it obvious? Haku dove down and landed next to the metallic structure.

Chris is inside, he stated searching for a way in.

The kids looked up at him puzzled, And you know this how exactly?

The white scaled dragon turned to face them, Its my duty to know where he is.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Kale couldnt believe it! It couldnt be possible! Chris was on his knees, holding Kales last punch.

You wanna sweat huh? the bespectacled teen asked through gritted teeth. His eyes began to glow as Kales hand began to burn, Your wishis my command!

Kale cringed in pain as his hand burned. It had been a long time since he had felt pain, especially this kind of pain. It was a reminder of his failure, his defeat!

Chris stood over his blue haired opponent, his hands ablaze. Slowly he reached up and pulled off his glasses, tossing them aside as Kale rose to his feet. This was going to be fun!

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

The same door that Chris had entered through, reappeared. Cautiously, Juniper entered followed by Ashley. Ray-Ray had stayed outside with Haku, but he wasnt happy about it.

As the girls made their way through the same path Chris had taken they began to hear yells and explosions. What had been a cautious effort now became one of feverish search. Running through room after room they finally came across one that was different from all the others. The only light was a red glow emanating from a control panel across from a thick metal door. The same kind of door one would expect to find in a dungeon.

Throwing caution to the wind, Juniper dashed to the door peering through the small barred window. It was too dark to see what was inside, but somehow she already knew what to expect.

Ashley studied the control panel quickly as another thunderous explosion rocked through the air. There was toggle switch under the word release. Quickly flipping it the metal door made a snapping sound and flung itself open.

The red light made it hard to make out who or what was within the cell, but the moan that escaped was familiar.

Tears poured from Junipers eyes as she looked on in shock, Jody?

Another wall gave way as two figures fell through. Their hands were at each others throats as they landed and then rolled apart. Kale was taking deep breaths as he eyed his opponent. His blue hair was covered in dirt and his face was bloody from a gash on his cheek. Across from him Chris stood with a smile. His clothes were torn, revealing the numerous scars speckling his body, and blood ran down his face from a cut on his forehead.

Neither spoke, they just charged each other. Chris threw a fireball just as Kale leapt into the air. There was no time to block as Kale brought his foot down in Chris face sending the firecaster crashing to the ground. He was on his hands and knees taking deep breaths. Looking up he wiped the blood from his mouth and stood once more.

In the room they had just exploded out from, the grass burned and the blue sky was now filled with thick black smoke. The perfect artificial environment had been ruined. Kale watched as it burned and then turned his gaze back to Chris just as the firecaster swung with a burning hook punch.

Kale was caught square in the chin and spun with the punch, but before Chris could make his next move Kale tackled him slamming him against the next wall. They punched and kicked, wailing away on each other until Chris caught Kale off guard with an uppercut. The blue haired teen doubled over just as Chris brought his elbow down on the back of his neck.

Floored, Kale huffed and puffed blowing dirt and dust into the air. He couldnt be beaten again, not by the same family! No! If he was going to die this day, he wouldnt go alone! This brat would die with him!

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

The golden haired teen fell out of the darkness and into Junipers arms. She was filthy. Her hair was matted down, her clothes cut to ribbons, her face covered in dirt and grime and yet even with all of that, she still managed to crack a smile. The tears stung as they ran down her cheeks. Her red eyes shined with hope as Ashley and Juniper helped her to her feet. Hanging her from their shoulders the girls began running to get out of there. Another explosion rocked the compound but this one was different. The roof above their heads shook as dirt fell from it. The dome was going to come down, there was no telling how much time they had left!

Running at full speed now, carrying Jody just an inch above the ground they ran back the way they came only to find rubble and debris blocking their path. Frantically they searched for another way out, running back towards the dungeons when they came across a hole in a wall leading to what was once a lush garden.

The grass was burning filling the air with thick black smoke. Suddenly they saw him. That blue hair! It was him the one who had done all of this. He turned to face them with a wicked smile leveling his hands at them. The girls froze as he was about to fire, but nothing happened. Slowly opening their eyes they saw a most welcome sight.

Chris! they all yelled in unison.

He threw an uppercut into Kales stomach lifting the blue haired tyrant off the ground and then threw a left hook sending Kale into a spin. Kale couldnt get his bearings, turning right into another hook punch that sent him reeling back into one of the few remaining walls. Chris charged up to him and continued to pummel the blue haired teen until he slumped to the ground, gurgling in an inaudible sound. He was finished.

Turning to face his friends, Chris froze when his gaze met with Jody. He couldnt comprehend what he was seeing. He just stared at her for what felt like an eternity until a loud explosion knocked him from his daze. Looking up, he dove out of the way just as a section of the dome came crashing down.

Go, get outta here! he yelled as another explosion went off followed by another and another.

Jody somehow found the strength to stand on her own, Not without you!

GO! Chris yelled in response turning and running back towards Kale.

Juniper fought with her heart as she made the decision to follow Chris orders. Jody kicked and wriggled screaming as she was dragged away from her boyfriend. They couldnt just leave him! That whole place was coming down!

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Kales vision cleared as Chris approached him. The firecaster kneeled down in front of the tyrant and looked into his eyes.

Im nothing like you, Chris stated, I never will be.

Kale just laughed, You wont have a chance to be anything!

Another explosion rocked the compound bringing down debris over the exit! The only way out was now completely blocked off!

My conscience is clean. I wont kill you, butI dont have to save you, and with that Chris turned and walked to the exit as a blast of fire erupted from the ground completely swallowing him.

Kales laughter was the only thing that could be heard as the entire dome finally went up in a massive explosion.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Haku tumbled through the air wildly as his passengers clung desperately to him. They had just barely gotten enough distance between themselves and the dome when it exploded. The dragon did his best to gain control, but it was to no avail as he came crashing down into the sand. He didnt move from his crash position. He was unconscious leaving the group to themselves while they waited for him to awaken.

Of course that didnt pan out. The instant she was on the ground Jody was screaming at the top of her lungs, begging for Chris to come back. Juniper just stood in the sand looking back at what was once the dome. Now it was nothing but a distant memory. Black smoke poured from the rubble of the structure as she watched it. There was nothing she could have done, was there? Chris had gone back by choice.

Ashley held Ray-Ray in her arms as she looked into the distance. No one could have survived that explosion. The thought kept pounding in her head. Even if Chris had somehow managed to escape from the structure he never could have cleared the shockwave. It seemed like he was really gone this time

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

It had been several hours since the explosion and Haku still hadnt come around yet. He had started to stir, but then nothing. The crash must have been a lot worse than they originally thought. The burning sun had finally set and now they were stuck there in the middle of the Blazing Sands with no food, no water, and no way out.

Jody had finally calmed down, but she couldnt stop sobbing. For an instant she was back with him and then just as fast he was gone. Slowly she rose to her feet and took several steps so she was out of range of the others. The moon above her lit her path with blue light. When she was far enough away from the others, Jody collapsed to her knees and buried her face in her hands.

You lied to me, she said between weeps, you promised me! You swore you would always come back to me!

And I always will.

Jody shot up in surprise. Where had that voice come from? It was him! It was Chris! Shed know that voice anywhere!

Spinning in search of the origin of his voice she spotted something moving among the sands. A black shape that walked like a human and was getting closer and closer. She didnt know if it was really him or if she had finally lost her mind, but she didnt care.

Jody set off in a mad dash pounding her feet down into the sand as she pushed her body to its limit. The black shape grew bigger as she got closer to it and the moon revealed several familiar features. The short cropped hair, the stringy body, it was him!

Chris! she yelled at the top of her lungs leaping into his arms as he lifted her into the air, spinning them both around until he fell back with her on top.

The only thing left on him were his torn up pants and his black gloves. Jody squeezed him as tight as she could, afraid he might disappear again.

IJodycant bre he struggled to say as he tried to pry himself free.

Blushing she released him and stepped back to look at him. He was dirty and covered in ash, but that was it. His wounds had healed, all of them, like they were never there.

Suddenly she was holding him tightly again, breathing him in as she clung to the boy she loved so much.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Juniper stood and looked around worriedly. They hadnt heard from Jody in a while and that yell wasnt to comforting. Then something caught the Asian teens eye. As the pair stepped into the light, Juniper almost had a heart attack.

Youre alive! she yelled awakening Ashley and Ray-Ray.

She pulled her big brother into a tight hug and then stepped back and punched him in the arm.

What was that for? Chris demanded.

Juniper pointed her finger right in his face, If you ever do anything like that again, I will personally beat the living hell out of you!

They stared angrily at each other for a few tense seconds and then both burst into hysterics. Now, it was truly over

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Two months later

The door bell rang and the door pulled open to reveal Jody. She was wearing a red miniskirt and a black halter top with big red bows in her pigtails. She glanced seductively at her guest as he stepped up to her and planted a passionate kiss on her lips.

Happy Birthday Beautiful, Chris said trying to be smooth.

Jody just laughed at his failed attempt to be cool. Taking him by the hand she lead him inside before turning to greet Juniper, Ashley, Ray-Ray, and Monroe.

Hey guys, thanks for coming, she said happily as they entered her home one after the other.

You think wed miss this? Ray-Ray asked pushing his way through to the back yard.

Outside they were met by Jodys relatives and cousins. Ray-Ray knew exactly what he wanted as he and Monroe made their way to the food table. Juniper and Ashley said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Irwin and then ran after Ophelia and Roger.

When Chris walked up to Jodys parents he politely shook hands with them and said his greetings. Things had been tense between them for a while, but the Irwins soon realized that he truly loved their daughter and if she felt the same, who were they to stand in the way? With that Jody dragged her boyfriend off to hang out with their friends.

Before they could get to the group they ran into someone Chris had never met before. He was a raven haired boy in a white t-shirt with a red dot in the center and a pair of jeans. Jody grabbed him by the arm explaining to Chris that he was a friend of the family and dragged both boys up to the others.

Juniper locked eyes with the new guy and was instantly entranced by his kind blue eyes. Her arm felt like jell-o as she reached to shake his hand. She felt a jolt at the warmth of his hand and nearly melted when she heard his voice.

Hi Im Danny, Danny Fenton.

A warm smile crossed her face. Things were starting to look up and who knew what the future held?

The End

Yes! Its finally over! My first Juniper Lee fic is finally complete after nine long months! Ah, so what did everyone think? I know its kind of sappy towards the end, but I wanted the heroes to actually win this time soyeah.
