Heartless Raiders
Ch 1: Got It Memorized?
~ Somebody: Liesa ~
Radiant Garden, my home. I was lying on the pavement, watching the clouds when a couple of boys came running beside me. "I can take you down in one hit Isa" One yelled to the other. I sat up to see a blue haired boy, who looked to be a couple years older than I was, laughing at the other boy who had red hair. I guessed the blue haired boy must be Isa.
"Huh? What do we have here?" The red haired boy was now standing over me. He looked down at me with a mischievous grin "It's a little girl come to play?" His voice had a hint of cockiness to it. He poked at my light brown pigtails.
"Leave her alone Lea, she's just a little kid" Isa said in my defense.
I jumped up from the ground. "Hey, I'm not much younger than you two! I bet I can hold my ground against one of ya." I demanded before thinking. I was just a tiny thing; these boys towered in comparison to me. I had no muscle, or even fat, the only thing I had going for me is that I was fast.
"Oh, you're on" The boy who I had just learned is named Lea pulled out his weapons, one for each hand, with flames pained on them. He laughed when I presented a single pair of small nun chucks. Out of anger a flung them at his shoulder and he yelped which made me smile. The smile quickly faded when he tried to bring down his weapons on my head. I jumped out of the way and scrambled a good ten feet from him before facing him again. The fight when on for about half an hour with Isa watching us if he were our babysitter or something.
Lea loomed over me again, about to whack my head. I looked into his turquoise eyes bringing my hand over my head to act as a shield. I flash of black lighting sparked from my hand, sending Lea back onto his butt. I gawked at my hand for a few seconds, this had never happened to me before.
Lea walked over to me and held out his had "Not bad for a little girl" he admitted. "The name's Lea, got it memorized?"
I gave him a small nod as he helped me up to my feet. "I'm Liesa, got it memorized." I copied him, which earned me a small laugh and a grin. To ruin the moment my mom called from down the street that it was time to go home. "I have to go, but it was nice meeting you Lea, and you too Isa."
"I'll see ya when I see ya. After all, we're friends now. Get it memorized."
"A chosen of the three."
"Huh?" The voice in my head scarred me. When I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by darkness.
"A heart connected to all others"
I landed on a glowing platform; it was dark purple, with black and aqua swirls.
"Master of the dark, creator of connections"
I felt a tugging at my chest. When I looked down, I could see my heart glowing through my shirt.
"Chosen wielder of the key blade, guard the hearts."
A key blade formed in my hand. Hanging off the hilt was a small star pendant. The blade was black up the end. The tip was shaped like a comet. It was white, with purple and black streaks.
"Lea!" I called as I ran up behind the red-haired boy. "Want some?" I heal out a sea salt ice cream popsicle to my friend.
"Thanks" He accepted my offering, but something was off with him
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing, just work, you know, I always being stuck with the icky jobs" He stuffed the ice cream in his mouth and I giggled.
"Better than training with Ravi every day."
"Guess that's true, but at least Ravi's your friend, you aren't stuck with a boss who doesn't let you sleep."
"You'd sleep all day if no one forced you out of bed." I joked, nudging his shoulder. He nudged me back, but harder. I lost my balance, in the process of trying to regain it I tripped over my feet. I fell with a squeak, but Lea caught me by the arm.
"You gotta quit being pidgin-toed, you'll hurt yourself someday."
I crossed my arms over my chest "I can't help being pidgin-toed" I whined. He laughed and ruffled my hair before returning to complaining about his job. At some point, I forgot to listen to what he was saying. Lea is two years older than I am, but that didn't stop me from thinking he is cute. The way his fire red hair spiked was adorable, and the way his turquoise eyes shined when he smiled. He was perfect. I could feel the blush growing on my face, but failed to do anything about it.
"I wonder if he'll think it's cool that a can use a key blade." I said to myself.
"Liesa, are you ok? Your face is red, do you need some water?" Lea's half-mocking voice brought me back to reality. I brought my hands, bawled up, to just under my nose and shook my head.
"Huh, no! I mean, I'm fine!" A turned and started to run. "Gotta go, training, BYE!" I called back to Lea over my shoulder.
I arrived at the gym that Ravi, Nieth, and I meet up at every afternoon. I was half an hour early, but I had to get away from Lea and the failure I was creating with him. "It must be so obvious to him now that I'm crushing on him. He's probably never going to want to speak to me again. UGH! Why do I always mess things up? And I'm such a klutz too!" As I sat, thinking of how badly I had messed up, I couldn't stop myself from tugging at my purple shirt. Only five minutes had gone by, but it felt like forever
I held out my hand to summon my key blade. The star pendant on the hilt seemed to calm me as I watched it swing slowly. My key blade was somehow connected to the weapons of Ravi and Nieth in a way that we could always feel each other. It didn't matter how far we were from each other, as long as we lived, we are connected. We used our weapons to fight the heartless. I doubt that Lea knows about the heartless. I can't tell him, it could put him in danger. I desperately want to tell him though. I sighed, maybe somehow he already knew. Maybe we would run into each other fighting them one day and wouldn't have to tell each other. What I hoped for was improbable.
