Hey! This is my first story. So i have NO idea how it's going to turn out. I'm just working on it to find out if i have a talent in writing or not!
So please bear with me and i hope somehow we'll both get through!
And on to the story...............
CHAPTER 1
It was night time. The sky was dark. Well, not exactly pitch black but a sort of dark blue shade was painted on it with the exception of rows of stars brilliantly shinning through a path. It's called the Milky Way. A young woman in her early twenties was leaning on a rock looking at the Heavens. This place is where she comes to contemplate on her thoughts. Not many people know of this place.... except her brother. They weren't siblings before nor are they blood related. They just came to be siblings after their trials.
A bell rang in the distance marking it's 8 o' clock and though reluctant as she was she got to her feet. Before turning and leaving she glanced one last time at the sky. But it wasn't the stars that captured her attention........it was the moon. When she and other rebel souls were captured and called into trials.....it was then that the balance of the universe broke. The so called peaceful souls decided to take actions and as one of the results of taking matters too far......... the moon's orbit was destroyed and it crumpled. It's much closer to Earth now though it's harmless. Bits of the moon is scattered on its side......it seems to give away a sense of melancholy.
She walked through the forest and got to a dirt path which led to a clean one.....one everyone used. The building overhead was a dormitory. Lights illuminated from it. She could sense the people living there were in a state of enjoyment. And why wouldn't they be? They just got their world back. The souls that disrupted their freedom left....with the exception of a few healers and comforters. They were here to help a few souls settle in. They weren't a threat to the humans though. It was decided long ago......well actually it has been 3 months.................
Three months ago...........
The room was white. Official looking people were sitting in chairs around a long table. She was asked to sit opposite to them. There were also six young men and women beside her. They were as tensed as she was. A man in his mid twenties was sitting beside her. He had vibrant blue eyes not quite like the one's she was accustomed to.....though it had a way of soothing her soul. His black locks were spiked...he liked it that way.
The man sitting in front of her was a healer. He was called Fords Deep Water. He had warm eyes. He looked at her and spoke in a soft voice "I know this has been tough for each one of you. We know we disrupted the peace of this planet. You've made your point. But that doesn't cover the fact that you went against our laws. Punishment has never been our job. But something must be done........."
And she tore her eyes away from his.....knots begin to form in her stomach. The guilty party began to shift uncomfortablely. Only the man with the blue eyes stayed firm. "We'll take whatever punishment you have to offer." And she was grateful......grateful because he took the liberty of speaking what she could not.
Healer Fords began "Now don't take it so hard. I think you'll find this to your approving......." She looked at him curiously. " We are all searching for a place where we belong. That is the reason for our being, is it not? You rebeled because you found yours. You found warmth in this planet and i'm not going to question that. The punishment in question........" he took a deep breath and once again locked eyes with her and spoke each word carefully ".......is that you have to spend your lives in this planet...."
She couldn't believe it .After all she has been through she was finally given another chance! Her heart was filled with gratitude and her eyes reflected that. "However........" he spoke, effectively cutting the air of celebration "you are no longer souls. You are humans now. Of course i believe you've noticed that. You cannot continue life after this. You'll die in your bodies like humans. You won't go to any other planet."
The words barely registered in her mind. She was thinking of staying there for good. No longer will she need to struggle about her existence. The young people there were all thinking the same things. It's not much of a punishment if not a reward. Honestly, what else can you expect from souls. She laughed inwardly.
The comforter sitting next to healer Fords spoke, "We too are staying here. We'll be in our places of callings. You are entering into something new for all of you. If you need assistence in anyway you know where to find us".
"Why? Don't tell me that you guys have gone native too!" the man with the blue eyes exclaimed. She laughed....this time with no hesitation
Coming back to reality she saw that she reached her dorm. Sighing at the dramatic turn of events she went up to her floor which was in the third floor. The floor had 14 rooms all together, 7 on each side. She owned the third room on from the farthest corner of the left wing. She went to her door, cautiously, trying to avoid unnecessary interrogations....but......
"There you are!! Where have you been all afternoon? We thought you we-", Nate's bantering abruptly cut short by a loud thud.
Both of them stood and stared after where the loud noise came from.
"What the hell?? Oh, you're back!" exclaimed the man with spiky locks, her brother.
And so did the others...........
"Heeeyy!! You know you missed out on your brother being set up on a blind date!!" the man coming out of her next door, Evan, laughed endlessly.
A woman with black curls, Ellen, came out behind him and smacked him playfully. "Hey, let it go already!" And his response was to wrap his arms around her and pull her closer to him.
"Would you ever ask me to let you go?"
"Not on your life."
"Hmm...i can live with that."
A blonde girl named Kim came through Nate's left room and groaned at the scene. "Oh, do it inside you two."
Just then the loud thud came again. This time they went to investigate. The source of the noise was on the upper floor. The room was labeled "Henry Miller".
Henry Miller was the supervisor of the dorm. The group huddled outside the door trying to hear what was going inside.
"Of all the women in the world why did it have to be her?" exclaimed a man named Zachary Solomon.
"Ease up kid!"
"Professor, i thought you said you'd listen."
"Yes, i meant about important things, things that would be important enough for you to ruin my Saturday night. I have no interest in your love life. Which is why you should go talk to a counsellor. Someone who's actually paid to listen to your garbage."
"But he's not there!! And besides your my favourite teacher."
"Oh save it! You might wanna calm down. She lives just downstairs you know."
"Oh! She can't hear me, can she?"
"Maybe you should have thought of that first before you banged on my door..........twice!"
"If you would just listen! I went up to her this morning 'cause Miss Simpkins asked me to return to her some books she borrowed and i said to her hey baby, your place or mine? I was joking you know! And she said both, you go to yours and i'll go to mine. Can you believe it! She didn't even looked at me!!"
"Really!", Pr. Miller rolled his eyes.
Outside Evan, Nate and Kim just burst out laughing. Ellen and her brother just grinned widely.
"Who's there?" Miller and Zach came out. Upon seeing her standing there with the others Zach turned white and Miller gave a toothy grin.
Zach turned and left muttering something under his breath.
"I can't believe you'd do something so cruel!" Evan said rather loudly.
"What a heart breaker, huh?" Miller exclaimed with a sad look on his face, which was followed by some more laughter.
"Okay people just calm down. Alright? It's been done so leave her alone!"
She just smiled at him affectionately and he smiled too after slinging one of his arms around her shoulder. She looked around the smiling faces that beamed at her. Though she lost her family 3 months ago, she had a new one.
Her name was Wonderer and she and her brother, Burns Living Flowers were starring in their own personal dramas.
So that's it!! I know it could've been so much better. I screwed up the first impression and i'm sorry. *sighs* But that doesn't mean it can't get better!! Right? Right? Right! So thank you for staying with me!!
NOW REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!
