Ok, so this is my very first story, ever. I originally made it to get over something...well...personal. Don't ask. I apologize to those who will think it's too short, completely terrible, etc. I also have about 14 chapters pre-written so I'll update every week.

This chapter, in my opinion, is pretty terrible, but it'll get better later when things start to kick in and stuff, whatever the phrase is. With that, I hope you enjoy.

I own nothing.

Chapter 1

A Fresh Start

"Hey, isn't that the girl?"

"From the police reports? Yeah I think so."

"Poor thing, and she's still so young too."

The two voices came from a man and woman wearing police uniforms, looking pitifully at said girl. According to the reports, she was 16 years old. She had dark brown eyes and brown hair to match, although her hair had a bit of a red tint to it as well. She was a petite girl, her slender figure still visible even though she wore a dark jacket that seemed a little too big for her and also around her neck was a blue heart necklace on a gold colored chain. She also wore dark blue jeans and had red and black checkered vans.

She was the daughter of a wealthy family that lived in Twilight Town, as for why she was in Destiny Islands instead, well there's a story to that.

"Teirra Misaki, daughter of Ryou and Kuroi Misaki. Wealthy family, from Twilight Town, blah blah blah, says here a week ago at their home someone broke in and attempted to murder the whole family, killed her parents right in front of her, she was saved when the cops came and the killer escaped... and is still looking for her as we speak." said the aged officer with more pity in his voice.

As the two police were talking, the chief came up to them and they saluted, she waved off their salute. "We have to keep Ms. Misaki off that murderer's trail, he'll be looking for her all over." She said sternly.

"But how do we do that? He's going to look all over Twilight Town and beyond that in no time." The woman said fearfully.

"That's why we brought her to Destiny Islands, it's the least expected place for her to be, no relatives, no other contacts. When he's done searching Twilight Town he'll start looking into wealthy schools and her other relatives. So she'll have to attend a normal school here so as not to attract attention. Destiny High School, we'll keep her under surveillance in a home we've set up for two officers plus herself to be staying in, and she'll starts school tomorrow morning."

"Who sir?" the man asked curiously.

As if on cue two officers entered, not in their uniforms, but in normal attire. One was a young man with dark brown hair and wore a white v-neck with a black short sleeve jacket and had dark skinny jeans with dark shoes. Around his neck was a silver lion necklace of some sort.

Next to him was a young woman with pink hair that flowed down her left shoulder, she wore a necklace that looked somewhat like a lightning bolt and wore a light blue shirt with a gray-ish flannel on top with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She also wore khaki shorts and light brown boots that went up to her knees.

The chief walked over to the two and looked from the boy to the girl. "Squall Leonhart, Lightning Farron. " She turned toward Teirra and she looked up at the chief. "These two are officially assigned as your bodyguards. Listen to everything they tell you, and you'll also be starting at Destiny High tomorrow."

The girl merely nodded, she had bags under her eyes and they looked slightly puffy, it must've been from crying and lack of sleep. The chief couldn't look at her anymore, she walked away toward more work and simply dismissed the three.

Teirra stood up and walked over to her new bodyguards and they looked down at her. She looked like her whole world had suddenly caved in, like she lost everything. Squall took her by the arm and guided her out along with Lightning, seeing as they had no reason to stay.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of you." He said encouragingly, hoping to cheer her up a little. Obviously it didn't work since she just nodded and kept that emotionless look on her face as they got in the car and drove away.

When the three arrived at their destination, they found the home to be a little bigger than they were told.

It had two floors for one, the upstairs was small though, only a bedroom and a bathroom in a small hallway. The downstairs area had a decent sized ling room and kitchen with two bedrooms and another bathroom in a hallway leading from the kitchen. At the end of the hallway was a large room that could be used for probably anything and there a door connected to the backyard from there.

Squall and Lightning brought their bags into the rooms down the hall and Teirra went upstairs to the only room left; her new bedroom. It had light blue walls and a bed in one corner and a window next to it with a nightstand and dresser with a mirror across from each other. The nightstand being next to the bed and the dresser being next to the closet.

Shortly after unpacking, she sat on the edge of her bed, eventually lying down.

"A new home, new school, no friends, no family... just alone." Her voice came out soft as if she'd barely used it, she frowned and within minutes fell into another of her newly acquired restless sleeps.

1 week later

Destiny High wasn't that bad of a school, Teirra's parents always said that normal schools weren't nearly as nice as her own, but they were off by a long shot. The only problem was that when she'd be in her classes or walk in the hallways she'd get stared at for her appearance and from any rumors that may have been going around about the incident.

No one ever talked to her, not like she'd talk back anyway.

She was currently in math class, the last class of the day, and the teacher was doing roll call at the end of class as usual. A few names were called, hers was coming up.

"Teirra Misaki." He always said her name quieter out of nervousness or something, she wasn't sure but she raised her hand anyway. "Sora Hikari, Roxas Hikari." He said and the two raised their hands.

Sora and Roxas were brothers, obviously, Sora is the goofy type, while Roxas is the more calm type.

Sora had a spiky mess of brown hair and brilliant blue eyes, like the sky, he wore a tan v-neck with dark jeans and black converse.

Roxas had eyes like Sora, except he had blonde hair that spiked mostly on one side, he wore some sort of X shaped necklace and wore a blue t-shirt under a short sleeve gray jacket and wore light brown cargo pants with black and white checkered vans.

"Riku Noire." Said boy raised his hand, Riku was the cool type, but could occasionally lose his temper. He had long, silver hair that seemed to spike out at its ends and had bright, turquoise eyes. He wore a black v-neck with a white and yellow vest with the yellow collar folded down and wore dark and baggy jeans with dark blue colored vans.

"Kairi Forgrove, Namine Forgrove." The sisters raised their hands as well, both Kairi and Namine also had blue eyes like Sora and Roxas.

Kairi is the girl who seemed to obsess over the latest trends, while Namine, like Teirra, is the artistic type. She was in Teirra's art class, she even commented on her drawings once and said they were nice.

Kairi had auburn colored hair that went half way down her back and her bangs went off to the right, almost covering her eye, her eyes were a bright, blue-violet. A pearl necklace around her neck and a pink dress and black flats. The dress fit her curves and she had a black hair band in her hair.

Namine had pale blonde hair that also ran half way down her back and over her right shoulder and the same vibrant eyes as Kairi, she wore a white dress that came to her knees and had a white hair band and wore light brown boots that went half way to her knees.

Later other people were called, Teirra never caught their names, unfortunately.

She felt someone staring at her and she looked up from her sketchbook to find none other than Sora now right in front of her, startling her. She jumped out of her seat.

"Sorry about that, you just looked to concentrated and all, I wanted to see what you were working on." He said and smiled apologetically. She merely nodded in understanding and sat back down.

Sora then pointed to her sketchbook, giving her a look that said "May I?", Teirra nodded and he turned the book towards himself..

The sketch was of a girl with a distant look on her face, sitting atop a clock tower and looking out into the sunset, although something about it gave him the idea that it wasn't meant to have a positive meaning. "It looks nice." he said as he gave the sketchbook back to her and she nodded in thanks.

Sora frowned at this, why didn't she talk? Was she a mute or something? He heard about the killings, but he didn't know it was her family that were the victims.

"You don't talk much do you?" he asked and she bowed her head as if apologizing. "Oh no, I don't mean it's a bad thing, I just thought, you know... it'd be nice to hear your voice every now and then." He smiled at her and she opened her mouth, just as the bell rang and Sora stood up.

"Sorry, I gotta go, see you tomorrow Teirra." He smiled again and ran out of the room with his brother. "And think about what I said okay!" He yelled when he was out of sight. Teirra just stared at the open door in confusion.

What just happened?

"So Sora, how come you were talking to the new girl?" Roxas asked his twin and smirked as if seeing some deeper meaning to Sora's encounter with said new girl.

"She just looked lonely, that's all. No one ever talks to her. So I figured I should instead, she doesn't talk much though, at all actually." Sora said with a puzzled look on his face.

"No surprise there." Namine said sadly from Roxas' side, yes, her and Roxas were dating. Just like Kairi is with Riku, they had to go somewhere else today so they weren't with the small group of friends.

"What do you mean by that?" Sora asked, oblivious, the two stared at him. "You mean you don't know?" The couple asked in unison.

"Know what?" Sora asked, annoyed.

"She's the one whose parents got killed in Twilight Town two weeks ago." Said Namine with the most serious face Sora had ever seen.

He was shocked to say the least, he froze in his tracks, it's her?

She's the one who lost them?

I hope it wasn't too bad, let me know what you guys think. Again, first chapter ever, first story ever.
