The Double Edged Spear
Chapter 1: The Separation
"Haha, your so slow." I called out behind me, seeing as the two children behind me chased after me, one with long black hair and violet eyes, her stern eyes focused with determination. As the boy laughed closely behind me, his smile from ear to ear.
"No fair, you had a head start." He shouted out as I cut the corner my feet digging into the soil. I felt the giggle build up in my stomach, as I turned around seeing as he the blonde boy gotten more closer now.
Gasping out loud I turned forward and began running faster through the looming trees, feeling my breath become more heavier, the open field was revealed now, without noticing I was sent crashing into something-or someone.
"Oh dear." I felt the arms wrap around my body, looking up I let the smile grace my lips. The women in front me looked at me with soft hazel eyes, her red rimmed glasses shining unconsciously, her pale skin beautiful like always.
"Mother!" I grinned happily launching my arms around her neck, feeling her warm my body, a soothing feeling in my body. She let out a laugh as I hugged her tightly.
"Mother." I heard Nine cry out behind me, his small figure running towards us, he latched on to her leg happily hugging her tightly. "Hey I was here first." I held her tighter, Nine looked up at me with narrowed eyes a frown on his lips.
"Like I care." He spoke out, Queen stood a few meters behind us making only eye contact with mother.
"Queen, aren't you going to greet me?" She questioned, "Good afternoon, Mother." She bowed slightly, I raised my eyebrows at her but sighed lightly to myself. Queen was always the one to be kept to herself with a calm exterior.
"Still the same." Mother chuckled, placing me down next to Nine, who grinned like a fool. We all looked up to her interested in her sudden appearance here.
"Have you come to take us, Mother?" Queen asked too my left, her wandering eyes locked with mother's hazel colored ones.
"Yes, I have." I smiled at Nine beside me jumped up and down, I grinned larger if that was even possible, I watched from the corner of my eye as Queen cracked a smile.
"All three of us?" Nine asked. Mother nodded as she bent to our level, holding the pipe within her fingers. "Though there is a catch." She locked her eyes with me.
"Avasa, will be going somewhere else." I tilted my head looking at her, "why? I want to stay with Queen and Nine." I held on to their hands, feeling them squeeze it lightly as they nodded as well.
"You promised that I would together with them." She sighed, brushing my hair away from my eyes. "Darling, you will, it's just that your going to different place for a special people like you." I looked to Queen, fear tugging at my chest.
I hadn't want to be away from Queen or Nine, we were always together, if I left them I would be able to hold hands with them or play with them anymore. I wouldn't hear Queen yell at me anymore, or hear Nine's laugh again, after all I cherished him the most.
"B-But." I felt the tears surface, I looked to Mother who patted my head lightly, "you're a big girl, right?" I nodded.
"So being away from them won't hurt you, will it?" I looked down to the soil, curling my toes in my shoes. "Mother, Avasa might be annoying but I still love her, so don't take her away from us." I felt my eyes widened as I looked to Nine.
"That is true. She is a nuisance at times, but without her she wouldn't have someone to tell her what to do and what not to do, I can't help but worry if she isn't with us." I felt a pinch at my chest, but I laughed to myself, that was Queen's way of saying she loves me too, even though she used quite the big words for a eight year old.
"We have too, don't worry you'll see her again." She stood up, I watched as a older man lifted me up, making me lose the grip of both Nine's and Queen's hand. I felt my heart jump as I was lifted in the air, my body thrown over the shoulder of the man.
"W-What?" I tried to push myself off the man, it seemed his grip was too hard for me to move. I tried to squirm hitting his chest plate with my feet and pounded my fists on his armored filled back.
"Avasa." I heard Queen yell as she started to run towards me, "Queen. Help me!" I shouted, watching as they pulled Nine away from running and lifted Queen as well. "No." I spoke hearing my words covered by the silent tears.
"Avase." I heard Nine's faint voice yell out, "I will find you, I promise you." His voice was drained out as I felt a sharp tip touch the back of my neck, my eyes weighed heavier, feeling them close I couldn't help but close them letting a smile touch my lips.
That's right, Queen and Nine will definitely find me, and Mother will allow me to see them.
"Wake up." I heard a gruff voice say, I groaned as I lifted my eyes to look to see a tall man, his arms laced over his chest, his hard steel gray eyes locked with mine, black strands of hair dangling in front of his eyes.
"W-Who are you?" I asked looking around the room, it was big and wide, with desks scattered evenly around the place, he sighed, tapping his foot impatiently. "My name is, Kai, I am your instructor." I felt my fingers twitch as I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Instructor? Where's Nine and Queen? And Mother?" I asked getting to my feet as I glanced around the room, "too many questions." He groaned rubbing his temples, I heard a click of my foot, I looked down seeing my clothing entirely changed.
"Nine and Queen are at our location, Mother, well she's somewhere in this building." I fell to my bottom, my hands hitting the desk, "when will I be able to see Nine and Queen?" I asked softly, feeling slight hope cast upon me.
I watched a smirk reach his lips, "after you mastered everything I teach you." I gulped watching as he dropped the books on my desk, piles higher than I could reach, I breathed out looking at them, if this was Queen she would be happy, I on the other hand disliked reading very much, but if this is one step closer to my friends I will do everything I can.
"Once you memorized everything from these books, then we will start training." He leaned over the books, my breath tighten, was that actually possible, "this will take months. Even years." I glanced at the thick built books, my fingers touching the cover, it was dusty, as if no one had touched them.
"Well do you want to see your friends that bad." He closed the door loudly, I sighed yet again, Queen and Nine, I hope your okay.
I let my face drop to the book, my forehead touching it, I closed my eyes. I hadn't known how long I had been in here for, whether only a few hours passed or a day did, but reading a lot did make me tired easily, I guess its okay if I sleep for a few minutes.
-Flashback-
"Hey where is Queen?" I asked, looking at the blonde haired boy make his way towards me, his hands behind his head as he made his way to me. "Hell like I know." He responded, I sighed, right he was never help in caring in important things was he.
"She probably stuffed her face into some books, seeing as we know her well." I felt my lips curve as I swung my legs over the branch, he was below me at the ground level, while I had sat on a tree branch.
"Seems like this is like our secret hid out." He mumbled as he pulled himself up the branch, lifting his body up, I looked out into the forest, watching as the lights danced in the air, the night cold but yet silent. "It was mine. That was until you kept following me." I reached out as I touched the hanging leaves, they were special used herbs used for medicine.
The softness touched the base of my palm, creating a calming feeling, "tch. Your so selfish." Nine's voice faded as the quietness overwhelmed us. "Hm, am I?" I responded softly, stroking the leaf gently, smiling at the feeling.
"Yes." He grounded his teeth beside me, his eyes looking far off in the distance as well as me, "I mean, I help you with homework, give you all my food, let you cheat off of me in the test I e-" I was cut of by his alarming voice.
"Fine. I get it. Tch. Your not selfish, happy?" I sighed, "yeah." Watching the scene in front of me hoping it wouldn't disappear, because we all had known good things had eventually come to a end.
"Hey, Nine." He turned to me, his light blue eyes dimmed in the darkness, "what is heaven?" He seemed taken back a bit, his lips were in a straight line for a few moments before he locked his light eyes with mine.
"A place." I felt his hand touch mine, clasping them together, I hadn't mind. "So what if I went to heaven, what would you do?" I felt his hand freeze in place, suddenly he leaned over to me, "I would find you of course." I watched as a small blush peeked on his cheeks, sure I was blushing too.
"So let's make a promise." I held my pinky out, he raised a questioning eyebrow first, "what are we promising?" I smiled at him.
"Well the first one is we have to promise we will find each other, no matter what that is if we ever lose each other." He nodded eagerly as he wrapped his finger around mine, "the second one?" I tilted my head to the side, the idea suddenly popping into my brain, "we will always fight and protect the ones we love, which includes Queen of course, and the both of us." He let out a laugh, slapping me hard into my back causing me to fall on to him.
"It's the first time you thought of something smart." His arm wrapped around my shoulder, "hey, would you mind if we sat like this for a bit." Nine asked glancing down at me, I nodded up at him, curious as to why he was blushing.
"Your warm." I spoke without thinking, "da hell you think I was, cold?" He shouted at me. I grinned holding my stomach trying to bear the laughter as he rabble about him being both hot and cold.
-Flashback End-
Who knew that was a few months before I was separated from them,I just hope I can see them again.
Hey!
Hi!
Bonjour!
Hola!
Yeah. . . . .That's all I know.
Anyway hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter, I hadn't seen much NineXOC on this site so I thought I might make it because why not?
I mean have you seen Nine! He is sooooo goddamn beautiful. . . .Another reason as to why I love Final Fantasy, them pretty boys! Like I can't handle it.
But other than that I recently started getting back into Final Fantasy, especially with Final Fantasy Type 0. I just started watching game-plays since I can't get it myself right now. I starting to understand it, but I am not going into depth explaining it, just the surface about it, because I am still trying to understand the story.
