Crew of the Axe Chronicles, Kirsty's story
Chapter 1 - In the beginning

Kirsty sat in the ship's infirmary, at her desk, trying to study her medical book, although every so often, she'd look up from the book and towards her cabin window.

"Darn it, why can't I consternate?" Kirsty mumbled to herself as she stand up from her desk, walked towards the window and looked out it. "We seen to be on course, but…" she began to say before her eyes widened a little as she noticed something. "The temperature suddenly dropped, that means we're close to a…"

'Winter island?' a child's voice echoed inside her mind, which made Kirsty' eyes widen even more.

'That right child,' a different voice came in. 'Within the Grandlne, there are 4 different types of island, summer, spring, fall and winter, which is the type Drum island is, where I live. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll go there one day…'

Kirsty stared out into the distance out of the window as the voices echoed through her mind.

"Doctorine," she whispered before wondering off from where she was standing over to her bed, bent down and pulled out a wrapped up package and sat down on the bed with it, slowly unwrapping it, revealing a few old books and a few old photographs. Kirsty picked up one of the books and laid back on her bed looking at the cover. "I remember the day it all started…."

--Flashback--

"Kyra! Wait up!" a younger version of Kirsty, no less than about 4 years old, called after her sister as they she ran far behind through the busy dock of their town.

"Come on, you've gotta catch me first! That's the whole point of the game!" the younger Kyra (also the same age) called back, grinning as she ran fast in front.

"This is no use, I'll never catch her, unless…" Kirsty sighed before coming up with an idea, stopped running and pointed in a random direction to the side. "Hey, what's going on over there?!" she yelled, and by to doing so, Kyra immediately and foolishly stopped, turning her head to see what was going on.

"What? Where? What is it?!" she demanded to know now facing the way that was pointed out, with out realising that just coming up behind her…

"TAG! YOU'RE IT!" Kirsty happily yelled as she had slapped her sister on the back before taking off again as fast as she possibly can.

"WHAT? You're a cheat!!!" Kyra angrily screamed back at her before starting the chase again.

"No, I'm smart!" Kirsty called back, turning her head around, while still running, quick enough to stick her tongue out. But as she turned back to look where she was going, Kirsty suddenly realised at was about to collided with something, or someone. "Uh oh," she panicked, immediately stopping just in time as she was about to crash into the person in front of her. "Oh man, that was close, I'm sor…"

"LOOK OUT!" A voice screamed from behind them, but before Kirsty could get a chance to do anything, Kyra suddenly crashed into her back, making them both fly forward towards the person in front of them, but before they could do anymore damage, both twins were suddenly kicked by, landing back a little away from where they were.

"Ouch! That hurt!" Kirsty moaned, rubbing the place where she got hit.

"I can't believe she actually kicked us!" Kyra replied.

"Hehehe," a laughed came which made both girls look up to see a tall older woman standing over them, raising her sunglasses as she looked at them both. "That's what you get you like brats."

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL US YOU OLD HAG?" Kyra stood up at yelled as the woman immediately shot a glare down at her.

Meanwhile, not to far away…

"Kirsty…Kyra…oh where'd those to go now?" a middle aged man, with short brown hair, called out into the crowd as he stood by his house a cart.

"I presume you're looking for these two," a new voice came from behind him.

"Oh, thank…you?" he replied as he turned around let out a sigh of relief, but then his face suddenly dropped to see the older woman from before holding both Kirsty and Kyra by the back of their dress straps outwards towards the him. Kirsty had her hand behind her head and smiled nervously while Kyra on the other hand had a huge bump on her head with both her little hands over it, groaning. The man blinked as he looked between the two girls and let out a sigh. "What did Kyra do now?"

"Why do you always assume it's me?!" Kyra yelled as she waved her arms and legs around, kicking and punching while still in the woman's grasp.

"Some manner is what she needs," the woman replied before letting go of the twins, leaving Kirsty to land on her feet, and Kyra to land on her face, as she was being so reckless.

"Well…thank you for bringing them back," the man said before he knelt down to the young twins size. "Now what did I tell you two about running in the docks?"

"Your right, I'm sorry, father," Kirsty apologized as Kyra was too busy rubbing her bruised face.

"At least one of them has it," the woman replied as she watch on, as the man now known as their father, looked over at his other daughter.

"Kyra?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry," she simply replied as if it was nothing. The father sighed, knowing that was the best he would ever get out of her and stood back up.

"Once again, thank you so much, if there is anything I could to repay I would," he told the woman, who was still standing in front of them.

"Well, you're a horse and carriage service, aren't you?" she replied to him.

"Err, well, yes, yes I am, do you need a ride?"

"I tell you what, you take me and my luggage to my destination for free, and we'll call it even. Deal?" she recommend as he nodded back to her.

"Deal, I'll help you with your bags, you two stay by the cart, and that goes double for you Kyra!"

"Oww."

--

Once the cart had been set up and all the woman's bags and equipment had been loaded on, they all set off with the father up front in the driver seat control the horse with Kirsty sitting next to him, the older woman in the passengers cart, and Kyra sitting at the back with all the bags.

"Oh! How rude of my, I never introduced myself, my name's Martin Chambers and these are my twin daughters Kirsty and Kyra," he said pointing them out as he introduced them as well. "How about you?"

"Name's Kureha…Doctor Kureha," she simply replied.

"Doctor?" Kirsty responded turning her head back towards her, while Martin also glanced back towards her.

"Oh, I heard there was a new doctor coming to our town, I suppose you must be that then?" he asked her.

"You suppose correctly," Kureha replied to him.

"Daddy, what's a doctor?" Kirsty innocently asked as she looked up at her father.

"Well…it's a person's job to cure people," Martin tired to explain to his young daughter.

"Wow! Do you think I can be a doctor someday?"

"Hahaha, well, you never know," Martin chuckled as Kureha watched on from behind them..

"Hehehe," she chucked in her witch like laugh and while smirking a little, paying close attention to their conversation, especially at the young dreamful child.

Once they had delivered Kureha to her destination at the doctor's surgery, it was time for the family go home.

"Alright you two, go inside while I'll pack away," Martin told the young twins before thinking their horse and carriage around the back of their house to the stables.

"Okay Dad," Kirsty replied as she turned to go into the house.

"Pist, Kirsty, check this out!" Kyra whispered, making her sister turn back towards her.

"What is it?" Kirsty looked at her confused.

"Look what I nabbed from the old bag!" Kyra said as she brought out a book from under her dress and held it out in front of her.

"KYRA! THAT'S STEALING!" Kirsty yelled at her. "Plus, you can't read."

"What does that matter? That's what she gets for hitting me! Now, let's have a look at this," Kyra replied before opening up the book and beginning to look through it, with her face looking more and more puzzled in each paged she turned. "Oww, screw this book, I'm going home," Kyra finally said as she threw the book over her shoulder and went inside, leaving Kirsty still outside now alone.

"I told her," Kirsty sighed as she was about to follow in when she glanced at the book Kyra threw out now laying on the ground not that far away. Kirsty blinked a few times before walking over to where it laid and picked it up, looking down at it in her hands. "Medical Science, volume 1?" she read off the title before opening it up. "Hmm…"

--End flashback--

Back in the present day, Kirsty laid on her bed, looking down at the book had for so long and smiled.

"I'll never forget that day," she said to herself before putting the book back in the pile of her past stuff and picked up a photograph, smiling down at this as well. "Although, this one truly turned my life upside down…"
