This is just an idea that I got and I thought that I'd try it out. I may not finish this if I don't get enough reviews. Enjoy.
I left my home on Terra Atmosia, just like I would on any other day, but this was no ordinary day. I walked into some fields in an area of the terra that few traveled to. It was behind the Beaconing Tower. I liked to just sit and look at all the flowers. I swear, if you watch them close enough, you can see them grow. Look what becomes of having nothing to do. I've literally died of boredom, according to my best friend, Louis. He said that I acted like a spirit sometimes.
flashback…
I was watching the flowers when I sensed a new presence in the meadow. I turned and looked at Louis. "You're watching the flowers grow again?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. I turned back to the flowers. Louis sat beside me. "You act like you're dead sometimes." He told me. This caught my attention. "How so?" I asked. "You just walk around like a spirit. You always act depressed and bored, like you have no purpose." Louis told me. "Well, I don't have a purpose." I told him. "Yes you do." He argued. "What's my purpose?" Louis paused, his expression blank. "Exactly." I told him.
"But… You could become a sky knight if you trained to fight." Louis told me. "You know I'd never be brave enough. I can't even face bugs and rats, let alone Cyclonians. I would freeze up and surrender the second that I saw one." I told him. "You could be part of a squadron. Someone who didn't have to face Cyclonians." Louis told me. "If I'm on a squadron, I'm eventually gonna face the Cyclonians. Anyway, who in the Atmos would take me in and ask me to be part of their squadron?" I asked. "Well, you have a purpose. You just don't know it yet. No one is just here. It'd be a waste of space and oxygen." Louis joked, smiling at me. I smiled sadly back. I had no purpose. Why was that?
End flashback…
This was usually what my days consisted of. Laying around and thinking. I could have conversations with myself easily. I'm the easiest person for me to talk to. I also enjoyed reading and knew many legends from all over the Atmos. I was far from smart though. I was… average I guess.
The flower! I swear I just saw it move!
Oh, no you didn't! You were just seeing things.
What do you know?
Not much.
I giggled softly. I stood up and looked up at the sky to see what time it was. Lunch. I began to walk home.
At home, no one was home. My younger sister, Camilla, was at a friends house. Sometimes I took care of her, but not today. Thankfully, I got a break. I saw on the couch and ended up laying down and falling asleep.
I woke up the next morning. Oh God! Camilla! I jumped off the couch to find a woman sitting in a recliner. "Hello, Chassidy. You were looking under the weather lately so I let Stephanie spend the night with Camilla so that you could get some sleep." Mrs. Dolan told me. "Oh. Okay. Thanks. I'm just gonna make breakfast. Is there anything particular that you and Stephanie like?" I asked. "Oh, no. I'm going to be getting home early. You and Camilla would best be getting prepared. I've heard rumors that the Cyclonians are going to attack today and take a young girl from town. I'm not sure what they'll do with the girl when they get her, but I doubt that she'll be back here."
With that, Mrs. Dolan went upstairs, got Stephanie, and left. Camilla came downstairs. "Why did Stephanie have to leave so early?" She asked. "Um, Mrs. Dolan thinks that Cyclonians are going to attack." A scared look crossed Camilla's face. "But they're not!" I quickly assured her. "How would she know?" Cam asked. "Exactly. How would anyone know?" I asked.
I cooked some French toast and eggs for breakfast. I had to take care of Cam today, so I packed some toys and left. Cam and I went to my spot behind the Beaconing Tower. I stared at the flowers while she played. A couple of hours later, Louis joined us. "I thought that I'd find you here." He said. I smiled at him and he sat down. "So, what's up?" He asked. "The sky." I said dreamily. Then, I turned my attention to the pretty clouds in the sky. Louis sighed and said, "I know that. What's going on?" He asked. "Cam's playing, I'm watching the flowers. The usual." I told him, smiling.
Then, suddenly, the sky went dark. The Beaconing Tower! I stood, shocked. I needed to get Cam home. I stood and pulled Cam beside me. Louis packed up her toys. We began to walk past the Beaconing Tower, but two figures stepped outside. Master Cyclonis and the Dark Ace. I stepped back, shocked. I had to hide, but where could I hide? I had to hide Cam. Maybe they wouldn't notice us. Mrs. Dolan had been right. I should've listened. Master Cyclonis and the Dark Ace looked at me and I froze. Master Cyclonis smiled, looking straight at me.
Mrs. Dolan had said that they were going to take a young girl from the town, and I hadn't listened. I had single-handedly dragged Cam and I into the middle of this. Master Cyclonis turned to the Dark Ace and said, "Get the older girl. If she runs, take the younger one." The Dark Ace began to walk toward us. "Louis, take Cam!" I yelled suddenly. Louis dropped the toys, scooped Cam up, and turned. "Chassidy! What about you?" He asked. "Just go! Protect Cam!" I yelled, not looking at him. My eyes were locked on the Dark Ace, who was still headed for me. Louis ran, with Cam yelling for me.
The Dark Ace smiled mockingly at me. I tensed. Should I run? "Don't run, little girl. I'll just catch you." He told me, mockingly. I backed up a step, but the Dark Ace dashed forward and caught my arm. He pulled me over to Master Cyclonis. She forcefully lifted my face to look at her. "Good. We have the girl, and we have the Aurora Stone shards. Let's go before the sky knights get here." She said.
The Dark Ace pulled me onto his ride. I thought about jumping off, but then he took off. I had never been off Atmosia before. Actually, I had never really been off the ground, at least not on a skimmer. I was in between a rock and a hard place, literally. If I jumped off, I'd hit the rock and die, and if I stayed on, I'd soon be in a hard place in a hard situation. I decided to take the hard situation.
The Dark Ace had a crystal the next time that I looked at him. I jumped and almost fell off the ride, but he grabbed me. He used the crystal on me and I found that I couldn't move or talk. "That was an enhanced Paralyzer Crystal, Dark Ace. Use this Spirit Holder Crystal to make sure that her spirit doesn't leave her body." Master Cyclonis said, tossing the Dark Ace a crystal. I began to have a panic attack, but the Dark Ace couldn't hear it because I was paralyzed.
My spirit leaving me? Is that a fancy way to say that I might die? Oh, my God! I can't breathe and I can't talk and I have no way of tell anyone that I'm having one of my panic attacks!
I whimpered. The Dark Ace glanced at me. I whimpered again. "Master, she's trying to tell us something." He said. "Pulse!" I yelled against my closed lips. Master Cyclonis looked shocked. She obviously wasn't expecting anything to go wrong with her virtually flawless plan. I yelled again. Same word. This time, Master Cyclonis understood. Her eyes widened in horror. I'm guessing that she didn't want to lose her little experiment before she had even begun.
"Pulse! Check her pulse, Dark Ace." Master Cyclonis said, urgently. She directed the talons to land while the Dark Ace put his hand against my throat. After searching around, he finally found it. "Master. She's having a panic attack. I don't think she can breathe." The Dark Ace said urgently. Master Cyclonis groaned. "This was not supposed to happen. She's going to die before we even get to Cyclonia!" She said to herself. Then, she screamed, "Dark Ace! The Spirit Holder!" The Dark Ace had dropped the Spirit Holder to try to aid me.
I felt a sensation of being dragged, but my body wasn't moving. It was my spirit. Was this what dying felt like? Then, I was floating ni the air. I could see my body, but… I was a spirit! What did they do to me? Master Cyclonis looked up at me. I was just as shocked as she. Then, her shock turned to determination. "Dark Ace! Use the crystal and get her back into her body! Cypriote can't use her body of there's no soul!" She yelled. Use my body? I turned and flew away as fast as I could. I'm gonna need help.
