Back To The Days: With A Twist
Three girls came racing around the corner of a dark ally in Twilight Town, all breathing heavily and badly wounded. The one at the end, a girl with long brown hair that was straight and brown eyes, kept glancing back. Her eyes filled with fear. The one in the lead, a girl with long, straight, dark brown hair and purple eyes, kept looking around for a place to run. "That way!" She pointed to a road to the right of where they were. The other two followed without question. "Dang it!" The yell went up into the night. The first girl had found a dead end.
"Is there time to turn around?" The one in the middle, a girl with lightly wavy short brown hair and brown eyes, panted. She was the oldest one but the one who was in the lead was a good 3 inches taller than her.
"There's no time! She'll be here any second!" The last one said. She had shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes like the middle one, but a tiny bit shorter. "This is it guys..."
"Don't say that Nicolette! We'll find a way out of here! We have to!" The first one started to desperately try to climb the brick wall even though she knew it was no use. 'We have to get out of here! I'm not going to let them die! I'm not going to die like this!' She thought.
"Bailey, it's no use. We're going to die here." The one who was in the middle put her hand on one of her best friends shoulder.
"Don't say that Mari! We will live through this! We have to! We… We… We're a band!" Bailey sunk to the ground and started crying. Mari and Nicolette crouched down by her.
"You're right. We are a band. That means we live and die together." Nicolette said. They got into a group hug and started crying. They had all been abandoned together, lived together, and, now, will die together. All thanks to that stupid bet.
A girl shrouded in darkness came around the corner to the sobbing best friends who were ready to die. With a simple flick of her wrist, she controlled the earth around them to crush them in one swift motion with her telekinesis. "Too easy." She said and disappeared into the darkness.
She reappeared miles away, at a camp in the forest where no light shined. The wind lightly blew her long black hair with blue and white streaks She walked into the largest tent at the end of the camp. She knelt down before her leader, a man who's face has never been seen. "Are you done with the job, Scarlet?" His dark voice drifted to Scarlet's ears.
"Yes, My Lord."
"Good. Everything is going to plan. Dismissed." The leader said and the girl called Scarlet disappeared, as if she were never there.
Scarlet reappeared in a tent on the south side of the dark camp in the forest. She sighed in relief and flopped down on her bed. A girl with dark brown hair and blue streaks walked over to her. Her dark blue eyes showed two different emotions, great sadness and pure hope. "You complete your first mission Scarlet?" Her white robe blew lightly in the slight breeze the came from Scarlet's bed when she flopped down. Her gold belt kept it in place.
"Thankfully. I was nervous." Scarlet leaned up.
"Never-"
"Show any weakness. I know, I know. I heard this twenty times one the first day Zara." Scarlet finished for her.
"I was going to say, Never upset the Organization. Organization XIII." Zara sat down next to her.
"I thought that-"
"Just, don't take any unnecessary risks. I've seen the bad part of it." Zara looked down sadly. She mumbled a single name, "Aidan. Why did that have to happen?" A single tear fell down her dark cheek.
Scarlet didn't know who Aidan was, but whenever Zara, her tent mate, mentioned them, she fell into a melancholy for the day.
Back in Twilight Town, the ruble that crushed the girls gave a little movement. A grunt was heard by the town's walls. Bailey pushed away the ruble pushing down on her and her friends. She crawled over to her dying friends, hardly able to move due to broken legs and a dying heart. She nudged Nicolette and Mari and they wearily lifted their heads. Their legs were at awkward angles, signaling they were also broken. The friends said one sentence, their voices blended to form one. A voice full of pain, slight joy, and complete readiness said, "We are a band." They joined hands, closed their eyes, and a black wave of darkness sat over them.
The date was January 21, 2011. That was the day Nicolette, Mari, and Bailey died. The best friends who had been through just about everything together. Their parents had all left to join the war going on in a different world and never returned. Their only family had been each other. They were considered the "sisters" of the town and were admired and loved throughout the whole town. There was a funeral for the girls and they were buried in the same place.
Yet, in that day of great sadness and regret of the town, there was a moment of joy. For on that moment that the girls had died, three Nobodies were born. They were nameless for now, but they had a great journey ahead of them. A journey that would lead them to Organization XIII and the life they wanted to live. For there is always one person who is different from the others. In this case, there were three.
