The life of a seller (Gia)

[Jacob 'Bell' Kent]

Bell jerked awake at the sudden jolt of his, makeshift ...wooden? Bed. Hadn't he fallen asleep in a hammock in Joan's place. Now the bed was hard and moving and he was in an awkward pos-HOLY CRAP! Bell grabbed onto the reigns having nearly lost them. These reigns were attached to two horses pulling a wagon carrying bags of vegatables and fruits and other such things and... Bell. The Wagon carried Bell too. This was like the first time he'd come in to find he was locked in a cage on the island. Belle stared at the road ahead and took a deep breath.

The first thing that popped into his mind was... he'd never see Charlise again! Bell lifted a hand and brushed the tears hurriedly from his eyes trying to ignore their sting as her face kept playing across his mind. This was cruel. This was more then Cruel. This was a horrible twist of fate and he didn't like it at all.

A few days had passed since Bell had found himself in Espene town selling off goods he apparently had to go and collect. Stock was running out which meant that soon, he'd need to go find more. He was in the busy market place and had easily fallen into this life style more then he had into the Island lifestyle. He constantly saw new and fantastical creatures in the market place and loved watching them find entertainment in Bell's many tricks.

Bell juggled, told jokes and did magic tricks for his customers, earning some money on the side too because of his special power of course. The day he saw a Hammel resident again, was when he was juggling a set of potatoes for the crowd. The moment he saw Gia they dropped all over the place making the crowd groan. Bell ignored them and moved from his booth toward the girl pushing through the crowd as best he could.
"GIA! GIA! From Hammel! And... And... Pilot Ridge! Grimley's Girlfriend! Wait! I know you!"
What were the chances! He couldn't let her go now that he found her! How had she ended up here?! Was she just taken like he was? Ripped away from her boyfriend? Oh Hello opportunity! Thanks for knocking!

[Gia Elliot]

With Craven missing for so long, Gia could only assume that his father had become fed up with the insubordination of his son. Gia couldn't be sure how much power the business man had, but she was confident that he could get Craven out of the apartment and probably even the country without the approval of Craven's uncles or Craven. And Gia really missed him. Sure, she was getting to spend time with her mom, and could take over a lot of her mother's duties so the older, ailing woman could rest, and Gia enjoyed getting to play with Rose. Still, Xavier had been hitting on her a lot more with Craven gone and Gia really did want to just curl up in her boyfriend's bed.

As she moved to grab a new diaper for the baby, Gia instead found herself surrounded by all sorts of people and... was that a unicorn that went trotting by? She blinked a few times and shook her head, trying to snap out of whatever dreamland she'd just entered, and rather than being back in the nursery room, she had a basket of turnips shoved forcefully into her chest. Gia stared down at them, unsure of what it was she was meant to do with the foods and, quietly set the basket down next to her. Suddenly, a man wearing a loin cloth and little else rushed past. The basket disappeared with him.

'Hey wait! That...' She sighed and glanced around again. And then there was quite a bit of yelling, and her name popped up. But who would know her here? Gia turned and saw someone she wasn't sure she knew very well. Yeah, Hammel, but... name? He clearly knew hers. And her boyfriends? Or at least he knew Craven's last name. 'Um.. yeah? .... Bell?' She had to search his mind for his name. 'Do you know where I am?'

Bell was incredibly happy that she recognized him too and glanced up at the man who was yelling at her from the caravan he was on. He glanced off down to where the person who had taken her turnips disappeared to and held up his hand for her to pause before he darted away leaving a long line of people falling randomly to the side as he busted through them. Within seconds, leaving another line of fallen market place residents upon his way back with the basket of turnips, he was in front of Gia making a gust of wind brush both her hair back and the wagon flaps on the delivery wagon.

The man on the back of the wagon blinked repeatedly as Bell offered him his turnips back and pulled out a hand full of gold and various other emeralds.
"I'd like her if that's okay?"
Bell asked and motioned to Gia who he assumed was working for the man. The man nodded slowly and Bell shot him a grin before gliding his eyes over Gia. He quickly took Gia's hand and lead her back to his own stall slipping past a range of grumbling people.

"Uh I just arrived myself a couple of days ago but here they're kinda more acceptant of us. Magic everywhere. I think this is like... fantasy themed. It's better than the place I was before. God, Gia. You should have seen it."
It was so good to be with someone who was just as confused as he was. Someone from a more civilized world. A world that was more welcoming and kinda more awesome than either of these worlds he'd been to so far.

Naturally Bell started babbling.
"Before I was in a world full of like... Pirates. It was weird and I was saved from the camp by this wierd guy with wings kinda like we have but I was with him in the forest for two days before I was tossed here. I have two horses and I think we're supposed to be merchants. I mean I got loads of stock to sell. You can help me? Then you don't have to have that weird guyt screaming at ya. Did you see the Unicorn! I saw a Fairy yesterday... "

Bell paused in his babbling to notice she was looking more depressed than she usually did and he frowned deeply.
"I'm sure we'll get home at some point. We jump every three months, I think. I sorta counted on the island. Didn't have much else to do."
He gave her hand a little squeeze and offered her a comforting smile.
