Chapter One
Vanish
Two small seven year old children ran slowly up a lush green hill. The children laughed and played as they always did, running up and down the green grassy hill. The grass below them swayed in the soft cool breeze. Not a tree could be seen nearby, only hills abound. Brightly colored flowers decorated the nearby hills.
One of the children; a girl ran over to the next hill. She bent down to pick up a few brightly colored flowers. Her amber colored eyes scanning the ground for certain flowers. She brushed her sunny blonde hair out of her eyes. She picked a few choice flowers then ran back over to the other child.
The other child; a boy ran over to meet the girl. His lavender eyes glanced down at the flowers in the girl's hand. The boy reached out to grab the flowers, but the girl slapped his hands away. The girl blew on the flowers and the petals scattered in the wind. The girl laughed as a few of the petals landed in the boy's dark brown hair. She brought her hands up and grabbed the petals that were in the boy's hair.
The boy ran down in hill, but he lost his footing and he tripped. He tumbled and fell to the bottom of the hill. In an instance a man several years older then the two was next to the boy. The man was clad in dark blue armor; he bent down next to the boy. "Master Kira are you okay?" the man asked in a soft voice.
The boy nodded and he slowly got up. He then looked down at his clothes. His cotton shirt was a little ripped and his pants looked a little torn as well. He turned and looked up to see the girl running towards him. A shocked look pierced the boy's face, as the girl was slowly becoming transparent.
"Kira," the girl cried out in fright. Tears began to stream down her face as the sandy colored dress she wore was beginning to disappear.
The boy ran toward the girl. He stretched out his hand for the girl to grab. But right as she was about to grab Kira's hand, the girl disappeared completely. "Cagalli," Kira screamed.
Sixteen year old Cagalli quickly shot up, she looked around her bedroom. "That same dream again," Cagalli sighed, she slowly got out of her bed and got dressed. She put on a white t-shirt, and some blue jeans. She grabbed a brush and lightly combed her blonde hair. She grabbed her black backpack and headed out the door. She turned right and walked down the hallway, then down the stairs. She turned right and walked through the living room and into the kitchen. Her mother was cooking on the stovetop. Her father was sitting at the dinning room table reading a newspaper and drinking coffee. Her twin brother Kira was sitting in the chair next to their dad. Cagalli walked over to the table and sat down in the chair across for Kira. "So you all promise not to spy on my date," Cagalli announced after sitting down.
"Oh course dear that wouldn't be right to invade your privacy," Cagalli's mother said as she put two pancakes on both twins plates.
"So that means no threatening my date," Cagalli ordered she narrowed her eyes on both her brother and her father. "No randomly showing up at the same restaurant that we are at. And no calling my date after the date is over."
"Cagalli I'm upset that you think I would do something like that," Kira replied.
"Don't give me that, my last date told me about what you said to him Kira," Cagalli spat out.
"Are you going to believe that slime ball, or your twin?" Kira asked.
"The slime ball because he doesn't invade the privacy of my personal life," Cagalli replied. Cagalli quickly ate her pancakes then she excused herself from the table. She walked out the front door, and down the sidewalk. She was walking down the street when she heard a familiar car horn. She turned and saw that Kira driving next to her.
"Want a ride to school?" Kira asked.
"No, I'm still mad at you," Cagalli told her brother.
"Okay suit yourself" Kira said, then he drove the car he was in past her.
Cagalli watched till the midnight blue car was out of sight. She slowly walked down the street heading towards her school.
Cagalli found that it took her longer to get to her school then she thought. She quickly ran down Orb's streets. 'I should have gotten a ride with Kira,' Cagalli groaned. She picked up speed trying to get to school. But as she ran an item in a show window caught Cagalli's eye. She stopped; and noticed a little black book in the store window. Cagalli walked into the store and grabbed the book. She then walked over to the cashier and paid for the book. She put the book titled Door to Darkness into her backpack. She then ran out the door and towards her school.
Cagalli arrived at school right as the first class was getting out. She ran up to her friends as they were leaving the first class.
"Where were you Cagalli?" Lacus, a girl Cagalli's age with long pink hair, asked.
"Yeah it is hard to make fun of Mr. Crammer without you," A girl with brownish orange hair; named Miriallia announced.
"Sorry, I walked to school today" Cagalli replied.
"Didn't Kira drive you?" Lacus asked.
"No," Cagalli told her friends.
"I will have to ask him about that on our date tomorrow," Lacus stated.
"Wait, tomorrow, I thought you two were going out tonight," Cagalli said surprised.
"That was the plan until Kira told me today that he was busy tonight. So we agreed on tomorrow night," Lacus explained.
"I just know this has something to do with my date tonight," Cagalli hissed.
"Yeah that is right you have a date with what's his name," Miriallia replied.
"His name is Ahmed," Cagalli snorted.
"Yeah, that's right my mistake," Miriallia joked.
"Stop that is not very nice," Lacus scolded, "Mr. Ahmed is not that bad of a guy."
"But he doesn't measure up to Kira, right Lacus," Miriallia teased.
Both Cagalli and Miriallia laughed as they watched their friend's face turn bright red. "Relax Lacus Mir is just teasing you. But honestly I don't know what you see in my brother," Cagalli told her friend.
"Kira is kind, caring, he respects peoples privacy, there are just so many good qualities about him," Lacus replied.
Cagalli couldn't help but scoff at the privacy part. "Don't forget he is a wimp, a crybaby, clumsy, and forgetful," Cagalli announced.
"That is not a nice thing to say about your brother Cagalli," Lacus scolded.
"The truth is not always nice," Cagalli replied as she turned and walked toward her next class. On the way she saw another person she wanted to talk to. "Ahmed did you get my message?" Cagalli asked.
"Yes, but why do you want to change the restaurant we are going to?" Ahmed asked.
"Long story, but the short version would be then my parents can't spy on our date," Cagalli explained.
"Okay I think I understand," Ahmed replied.
"Thanks Ahmed so I will see you at the restaurant at 6:30?" Cagalli questioned.
"Yeah," Ahmed replied.
"Great," Cagalli said as she walked away.
After school Cagalli got a ride home with Kira. "So Kira, is there a reason you canceled your date with Lacus tonight?" Cagalli nonchalantly asked.
"It has nothing to do with your date if that is what you were thinking. I just have a lot of homework" Kira replied.
"So you aren't breaking your date with Lacus to spy on my date with Ahmed?" Cagalli questioned.
"That is right," Kira replied.
"I don't believe you," Cagalli snorted.
Kira pulled the car into the driveway of their house. Cagalli got out of the car and walked into the house. She walked up to her room and set her backpack on the floor. She pulled out a fresh t-shirt and blue jeans, she took off the clothes she was wearing and put on the new clothes. She noticed her backpack sitting on the floor. She walked over to it and unzipped it and pulled out the book. "I wonder what this book will be about," Cagalli whispered. She looked down at her watch, "Oh no, I'm going to be late," Cagalli panicked. She threw the book on her bed, and ran out of her room shutting the door behind her. She ran out the door of the house and down the street. It took Cagalli about an hour to walk to the restaurant. When she got there she saw Ahmed waiting outside. "Sorry I'm late," Cagalli apologized.
Ahmed turned and looked at Cagalli. "You're not late Cagalli, I just came early," Ahmed told her.
"Oh, should we go inside then since we are both here," Cagalli suggested.
"Okay," Ahmed replied and they both walked into the restaurant.
The restaurant had a log cabin theme. The benches were made of wood. The tables were covered by a basket weave pattern tablecloth. The napkins on the table were a bright grassy green. Cagalli and Ahmed walked toward the back of the restaurant and sat down in a booth.
A bubbly blonde haired lady hopped over to their table. "What do you want?" she asked.
"We will have some rice with some water," Ahmed told the waitress, "Right Cagalli?" Ahmed asked.
"Yeah that will be fine," Cagalli replied.
"Okay, I will be back in a jiffy," the waitress told them, then she sped off towards the kitchen.
The waitress returned minutes later with two plates of rice and two glasses of water. Cagalli was enjoying her meal and their conversation, until the person a few tables down moved, and in the table behind that person was a person she didn't want to see. Cagalli gritted her teeth in annoyance.
"Cagalli is there something wrong?" Ahmed asked.
"No everything is just fine," Cagalli replied through gritted teeth.
"Okay, but if you want to leave that is okay," Ahmed told Cagalli.
"I'm really sorry Ahmed, I did have a good time, it is just I'm not feeling very well all of a sudden," Cagalli lied.
"Your parent's spying?" Ahmed questioned.
"No," Cagalli chuckled. "Just my twin brother," she whispered
"I understand if you want to break the date because someone you know is spying on us," Ahmed told Cagalli.
"Really," Cagalli questioned.
"Yeah my parents used to do it all the time," Ahmed chuckled.
"Okay I will see you at school then," Cagalli told Ahmed. "But I really did have a good time." A wicked idea then popped into Cagalli's head. "Hey Ahmed?" she asked.
"What?" he whispered.
"Want to drive Kira crazy?" Cagalli asked.
"Sure, what do I have to do?" Ahmed replied.
"Just kiss me," Cagalli responded.
"Okay, but you promise Kira won't kill me for this?" Ahmed asked.
"I'm so upset I might, so don't worry about Kira," Cagalli replied.
"Okay," Ahmed whispered. He then leaned forward and captured Cagalli's lips in a deep kiss.
Cagalli peeked an eye open to look at her brother. She saw him starting to fume, so she smirked and kissed Ahmed back. She soon pulled away from the kiss. "Thanks Ahmed, that drove Kira mad I'm sure," Cagalli laughed. Cagalli then walked up and out of the restaurant.
Right after she left she heard the door open behind her. Kira walked up to Cagalli and grabbed her by the arm. She turned and put on a fake stunned face. "Kira what are you doing here?" she said in fake shock.
"You are in trouble little sister," he scolded.
"You are only older by a minute," Cagalli complained. "What are you doing here anyway, I thought you had homework?" Cagalli questioned.
"I finished early," Kira lied.
"And you came here," Cagalli said dumbfound.
"Yes and I didn't expect to see you two here, I thought you were going to that one place down the next street?" Kira replied.
"We changed our minds, we are teenagers we do that a lot," Cagalli joked.
"Never mind that, what were you doing in there?" Kira questioned.
"I was eating rice and drinking some water," Cagalli replied sarcastically.
"I mean, you kissing Ahmed," Kira yelled.
"Oh, well you could have said that in the first place," Cagalli told her brother. "It was my thank you for taking me on a date."
"Do you do that with all your dates?" Kira asked.
"What are you dad, lighten up Kira it was just a kiss," Cagalli joked.
"Cagalli I'm serious," Kira warned.
"Why are you so upset? Is it because you can't get a kiss and you're jealous," Cagalli joked.
"I could get a kiss," Kira snapped.
"Not after I tell Lacus that you broke your date with her to spy on me and my date," Cagalli replied.
"Cagalli you can't," Kira begged.
"Hey that is your consequence for being a rat and spying on your sister," Cagalli snapped.
"Cagalli, that is not fair" Kira whined.
"Life isn't fair," Cagalli replied.
"But, mother and father made me," Kira complained.
"I knew it," Cagalli said while snapping her fingers together. "Let's go home. And I won't tell Lacus," Cagalli told Kira.
"Thank you Cagalli," Kira said as they both walked to Kira's midnight blue car.
They drove home in silence. And as soon as the car was parked into the garage Cagalli opened the door and got out, then she slammed the door hard before walking into the house. She walked into the living room. "Well, I'm sure you want to know what happened on my date" Cagalli said sarcastically. "So why don't you ask your spy, since he was only a few tables away I'm sure he got a great view of everything that happened, he probably even heard every word we said." Cagalli yelled. "Don't you trust me?"
"It is not that dear, it is just we wanted Kira there just in case that boy tried something on you," her mother replied.
"I'm a big girl I can handle myself! I don't need to be protected by my slightly older twin!" Cagalli screamed. "And you even promised that none of you were going to do any of that stuff!"
"Cagalli we did it for you," her father told her.
"Yes, break a promise you all made just so you can invade my privacy, I just love when people do that," Cagalli snapped sarcastically.
"You could have been in danger," Kira spoke up.
"I know this guy we have been friends for over a year, and I had my cell phone anyway, we were in a crowded restaurant. I wouldn't just follow some random guy back to his house," Cagalli screamed. Small tears began to fall from Cagalli's eyes. "I hate you, I hate you all, I hate all three of you!" Cagalli screamed. She then stormed out of the living room and up the stairs to her room.
She threw herself on her bed and cried. 'Why can't they respect my privacy,' Cagalli complained, 'I hate them I want them to disappear, so I can live a normal life and go on dates and not have my dates complain that my family harassed them. I'm the girl you want to stay away from unless you want to get tons of threats,' Cagalli thought. 'Yeah that is what I wish would happen I wish they would disappear from my life. I could careless about them anyway,' Cagalli grumbled. Cagalli all of a sudden felt something under her body. She got off her bed and picked up the item in question. It was the book she had bought this morning.
'Maybe I can forget all about my family problems with this book' Cagalli hoped. She got settled into her bed and opened the book. She began reading, but she soon grew board with the book. 'I have read over eight pages and not a character has been introduced yet. Now I know why this book was so cheap,' Cagalli grumbled and she set the book down on the nightstand sitting next to her bed. She found that even though it was early she felt very sleepy all of a sudden. She laid her head back on her fluffy feather pillows and went to sleep.
The moonlight crept into Cagalli's bedroom from her window above her bed. Cagalli stirred in her sleep but she didn't wake up. But next to her bed on the nightstand the book titled Door to Darkness started to glow an ominous, eerie, dark purple.
