Innocent Eyes
Chapter 1: Prolog/Upon Awakening
"You've lost!" a shadow yelled as Chazz's life points dropped to zero.
Chazz fell to his knees and knees, something didn't feel right.
"But, now I shall help you see clearly." the shadow told him, stepping closer.
Chazz's vision was blurring. He could barely see Jaden and everyone running towards him to help. And then it all went black.
The last thing he hear was "Hang on Chazz!" but he didn't know who said it.
Chazz sat up tried to lift his heavy eyelids. Everything was still blurred, but he could make out two figures.
"He'll be okay, right?" Asked a voice he identified as Pepper
"Yes, although I don't know if he's lost his memory too." He thought that was Miss Fontaine
Chazz groaned and shut his eyes tight, man did his head hurt. Pepper noticed and walked over.
"How's the sleepy head?" She asked in a sweet tone
"Pepper, I'm fifteen don't talk to me like I'm a little kid." Chazz growled
There was silence until Miss Fontaine broke in "Chazz I need you to open your eyes."
Chazz opened his eyes again and the world came into focus. He realized everything looked bigger, a lot bigger. Then he noticed he was on a bed in the infirmary. Pepper played with one of her black curls and Miss Fontaine sighed
"Chazz take a look in the mirror." She gave him a hand mirror.
At first it seemed normal then his eyes widened. Chazz tried to say something, but because of all the shock there was no sound. He looked at Pepper, panic in his eyes.
Pepper finally said "Chazz you're not fifteen anymore..." she looked away "You're four."
At that moment it was like time stopped, Chazz had no idea on what to say or think or do. He fell back onto the bed and began to wail. Someone pulled him into a hug and stoked his back. Chazz stopped his wailing and found Pepper was the person holding him. For a moment he remember how he used to hold her like this when they were little. It felt weird, now she was his big sister.
"You were there for me now I'll be here for you." Pepper whispered
He felt much better even if he was still a four year old.
"Can I take him now?" Pepper asked Miss Fontaine
"Sure, just if anything odd happens tell me immediately." she warned
Pepper carried Chazz across campus, they could both hear the whispers of the students. Chazz saw Topher and Corklin.
"Look, Chazz is even more pathetic now." Topher snickered. For some reason this hurt more than it usually did. But then it was Chazz's turn to laugh because a female obelisk blue student slapped Topher for being so mean to a child. Chazz snuggled closer to Pepper, maybe this won't be so bad.
Most of the gang waited in the living room of Chazz's dorm. They were all worried about him, nobody knew what happen. Miss Fontaine only let Pepper in and she wouldn't tell them what was going on inside. There was a knock on the door and then it opened. There was a cloak of silence as Pepper walked in with Chazz.
"That's Chazz?" Alexis asked uncertain, Pepper nodded.
Pepper set him down on the couch. Chazz gulped, everyone was staring at him. He took a breath and said "I still remember everything, slackers. So don't treat me like a baby."
Another moment of silence until everyone broke out into laughter.
"That's real funny Chazz!" Syrus laughed "Because you are a baby." Chazz glared
"It's true," Hasselberry added "you know it!"
"Come on guys stop being mean." Alexis crossed her arms
"Yeah, come on, Slade was nicer to him than you." Pepper told them
"He was?" Jaden asked in disbelief
"Yeah, until I was seven and Chazz was eight Slade was pretty nice to us." Pepper explained "Jagger has always been a menace."
Chazz was pretty ticked off now "Get out" he pointed to the door
"Why?" Syrus asked "there's finally someone shorter than me."
"I'm taller than you?" Pepper asked immediately
"No I think you two are the same height." Atticus said
"Never mind." Pepper shook her head "Miss Fontaine doesn't know how long this is going to last, or if it will ever wear off."
"I'm going to be right back." Chazz said standing up and opening the door, barely being able to reach the door knob.
"Do you think someone should go with him?" asked Alexis
"No!" Chazz yelled back at them as he slammed the door.
"Well Chazz is obviously feeling fine." Bastion stated
"He was so tiny!" Syrus exclaimed making everyone but the two girls break into fits of laughter
"It's going to be a long day." Alexis whispered to Pepper
"Why do all the bad things happen to me?" Chazz asked himself. He was walking down a dirt path. He heard foot steps behind him and spun around. Chazz froze looking up at the two figures. "Topher, Corklin" he gulped
"Hello little Chazz." Croklin gave a sinister grin.
Chazz stepped backwards but slipped and fell down "Go away!"
"Now why? We're not going to hurt you..." Topher paused and looked at Corklin who smirked. Corklin restrained Chazz so he couldn't move his arms or legs.
"Stop... stop... Stop!" Chazz yelled trying to break free.
Topher clamped his hand over Chazz's mouth "Shut up, you little shrimp."
It seemed like Chazz was relaxed for a moment and Topher sighed. But without any warning Chazz bite Topher's hand. Who removed it as quickly as possible.
Immediately Chazz screamed "Pepper!" at the top of his lungs.
Chazz hadn't walked far and everyone had heard it. Corklin dropped him and the two bolted. Chazz coughed because they kicked up so much dust. Pepper ran towards him and helped him up.
"You okay?"She kneeled down to his height, he coughed a little more and nodded "Good now who did this?"
"Corklin and Topher." Chazz yawned "I'm tired Pepper."
"The sun's going do. Maybe you should go to bed." Pepper suggested "Miss Fontaine said you might only be able to do the things you could when you were four. I know it's going to be hard but I'll help you."
"I love you, Pepper." Chazz whispered
"I know, you always remind me." Pepper smiled and picked him up
Chazz was asleep by the time Pepper carried him back to the slifer dorms. Pepper looked at their friends.
"I think someone needs to be watching Chazz, all the time." she whimpered
"What happened?" Alexis asked
"Some jerks roughed up Chazz." Pepper sighed "He's vulnerable now." Chazz yawned
"I don't think he can sleep in a room alone either." Alexis added "We can't take him, we'd need permission to let him in a girl's dorm room. Jaden, Hasselberry and Syrus aren't responsible and my brother's just out of the question." they thought In silence for a moment and then Alexis smiled "What about Zane?"
"Would he?" Pepper questioned
"He's the only one who can." Alexis said
Authoress: i guess that's the end for now, well only if enough people want me to continue the story. I know Chazz started to be really childish, that's what I was going for. Please review but no flames!
