Sketch's of the Past

As children, they'd draw together. Colour the pages handed to them. Scruffily, but it was colouring never the less. But then, they'd gone. Got up and left, never to be seen or heard from again.

I stared out the window, gazing over the beautiful scenery. We're moving from France, Demyx, Kairi and I. I'm sure we all agree, England is so gorgeous.

"Namine?"

"Yes, Demyx?" I asked, turning to my mulletted brother.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Yeah."

"You'll soon change your mind." Our driver smirked.

We're going to live with a man called Xemnas Ansem. He owns a manor in the Cornwall, a southern, warm, lush part of England.

"Selphie, just hit him with your jump rope. It's what you normally do..." Kairi babbled on to her pink mobile.

You wouldn't think it due to our height range and mental abilities, but me, Demyx and Kairi are triplets. Demyx, the hyper, musical, bubbly one is eldest. Kairi, the flirty, stroppy, outgoing one runs a close second. And then, there's me. Namine Nocturne, the dull, plain, boring one. I can't do anything. Well, I can draw, but one of my friends from nursery had to teach me how. What was his name? Oh well... It'll come back to me.

I turned my attention back to the drawing in my hands. Pictured in it were our best friends, Tidus, Wakka and Selphie. I knew what Selphie was doing, as my sister was shouting it out loud every 20 seconds, but what were Tidus and Wakka doing now? I decided to call them later.

"We're here!" Our driver called, cheerfully from the front.

The taxi rolled up in front of a huge white house with a gothic black roof. A large white door could be seen alongside many little white windows, lined inside with black curtains. Me and Demyx walked up the cobblestone path whilst Kairi payed our driver. I reached up and rapped on the door. It opened to reveal a silver haired man. His amber eyes were intriguing, yet intimidating.

Realisation dawned on his face.

"Ah, you must be the orphans! Demyx, Kairi and Namine, I presume?"

He led us into the house, through the winding corridors and to our rooms.

"Dinner is at 8." He said, smiling an unsettling smile and leaving my room. I looked around my room. It was a dream come true.

The floor was white, the walls were white, the furniture was white, even the curtains were white. To me, it was a sanctuary. I set my suitcase down and started unpacking. I hung my shirts, dresses, skirts and jeans in the walk-in wardrobe, I set the little make-up I owned on the make-up table and then started pinning up my many drawings around the spacious room. I decided to go find Demyx before dinner. Taking one last look around my room, I walked out the door.

I saw a boy approaching. He looked around my age. His silvery-blue hair fell over his right eye which, from what I could see, was teal. He walked past me, reading a rather large novel. He was no doubt heading to the Dining Room. I stood around for a minute, looking around the dark hallway. Eventually, I figured I'd better find Demyx. I trotted through the halls, searching for Demyx' room but to no avail. Eventually, I was lost.

"Hey, dudette? You okay?" a surfer's voice called down the hall. A man with long black hair tied in a ponytail ambled over. A silver streak ran through his hair, an eye patch covered where his right eye should have been and a scar that looked like it could have been caused by a knife ran over his left cheek. His single amber eye made him more unnerving than he already was.

"Oh, um...I got lost..." I admitted shamefully.

"Oh. Come with me. I'm on my way to dinner myself. Xaldin, hurry up!" he called back over his shoulder.

Another black haired man walked over, his hair also long and tied back. His was braided though. He had overly large sideburns and strange purple eyes.

"I'm Xigbar, by the way." The eye patched man said with a grin.

"I'm Namine." I replied, smiling back. We walked to the dining room where Demyx and Kairi were being introduced to everyone.

"Ah, Namine. There you are." Xemnas cooed, displaying that same unnerving smile as before. I was hustled over to where Kairi and Demyx stood. "Let me introduce you to the rest of the household..." He trailed off and started leading us around the room...

So? Anyone like it? I finally decided to write something like this. It'll probably go on for around 15 chapters. Maybe longer. Who knows?

Reviews would be nice.
