OKay, well heres another story...I know I have 2 otheres but sometimes it just cant be helped. Read and review please!
16 years ago a baby showed up at the front door of a church. The church was high up in a secluded mountain range and was actually a whole monastery with a house for nuns and all. Her parents must have known this was a good place to leave a child.
The present
Namine sat down in her room. Well it was more of a closet than a room because she only had enough space to lie down at night. A small light bulb hung from a chain a few feet above her head (when she was standing) as the only source of light in the room. The one light, though, was taken away if she was bad. But that was something entirely different.
Memories flashed in her mind and she remembered some of her past. Ever since she was four, she displayed some sort of super human ability dealing with memories. She remembered anything that had ever happened to her and she also could mess with the memory of people with low will power. The big problem was that the priest, the man that took her in, thought that she had demons possessing her.
When the priest first found out what he could do he immediately took her to the altar. The man took out a cross and a vial of holy water and he placed a bible in front of him and started reading from it. His voice continued getting louder and louder shaking some of the oily water on to her and pressing the cross hard against her chest. She cried loudly as she did not understand what was going on between them. His voice boomed louder and louder scaring the girl more and more, pressing the cross harder and harder. Finally she collapsed and fainted, stopping the exorcism before it became much worse. That was the first of many, many more to come.
"Namine, Father Xemnas summons you to his chambers." A nun said from the other side of the door. A quick question of weather the nuns knew about what went on between her and the priest flashed in her mind but she dismissed it, quickly getting up and opening the door.
"Hello, Sister Martha." The flaxen haired-girl greeted as she stepped out of her dark dwelling and into the bright hallway. The nun led the way to where Father Xemnas was waiting. Without another word Sister Martha opened the door for Namine and shut it behind her. She scurried away, not wanting to bare witness to what might happen behind the closed door.
"Good morning Father." Namine said as she bowed a little.
"How was your sleep Namine, my dear." He said nonchalantly, as if nothing had ever happened between them.
"It was very good. And yours?"
"Did you dream anything nice?" he asked and Namine realized he was setting a trap for her. Most people don't remember every dream they have at night, unlike Namine. So if she were to say yes to him, he would see she remembered and perform yet another exorcism. But if she said no he would accuse her of lying and punish her by making her clean some part of the church and then spend the rest of the day in her room. She decided lying would be better.
"No, only the one right before I woke up." she knew this was normal for people. "I was in a big meadow and I was just relaxing under the sun."
"Now Namine, you know lying is a sin. I'm very disappointed in you. As your punishment I want you to scrub the stone tiles of the church floor because we are having a guest. Then you are to go to your room and pray for your forgiveness."
"May I ask who it is?"
"I'm sorry but that is of no concern to you. Now onto your chores."
Namine walked out of the room without another word and went to get her cleaning materials.
A few hours later she was still cleaning the floors of the church. On her hands and knees she scrubbed the floors spotless with soap and water. She was sweating and her hair was sticking to her back and her head. She got up and rested on her knees to catch her breath.
'…I'll be sure to keep that in mind." Namine heard the priest's voice as he was entering the room and talking on the phone. His footsteps got louder so she scrambled back down to her work, making sure he noticed and didn't reprimand her.
Creak! The blonde heard the large front doors swing open and had to look. Standing in the threshold was a boy around her age with spiky blonde hair and blue eyes bright enough to be seen where she was working, 10 feet away. There was a bored expression on his face and he was wearing casual clothing, something Namine had never seen before. It was only a black shirt covered with a white sweater, jeans, and sneakers. Namine felt instantly hypnotized the moment she saw him.
"Hey Uncle Xemmy." The boy greeted Father Xemnas
"Roxas, you finally decided to visit. I'm so happy to see you again!" Xemnas sang to his nephew. Meanwhile, Namine was trying to hold in a giggle.
"Roxas…" she whispered to herself, liking the way it rolled off of her tongue.
"More along the lines of being forced. These days failing a subject like art, which I'm never going to need, can get you sent to a God forsaken place in no-mans land."
Xemnas' eye twitched. "Have I taught you nothing from my visits to your home? You are not to use the Lord's name in vain. You really do need to be here!"
"Yeah yeah, I'll learn the rules."
Xemnas walked forward, not acknowledging Namine in the slightest. Roxas followed his uncle but stopped and looked down when he noticed Namine. Their eyes' met and locked with not a word being exchanged but they connected on a deeper level.
Xemnas cleared his throat and the connection was broken. "Come now Roxas, I have to show you where you will be staying."
Roxas followed without another word and left Namine speechless as well.
When they left the church towards the living quarters Roxas couldn't hold in his inquiries any longer. "Who was that girl?"
"That was Namine." Xemnas answered, "and you are not to interact with her."
I really wasn't excessivly happy with this chapter, especially not the begining, but I'll get over it. The next chapters should come soon enough and I expect this story to be short anyway.
Please review!
