You hurried along behind your friends, your attention alternating between them and the colors that streaked through the sky. You could understand how these lights would be confused for the aurora brrealis, what with all the colors.
Red. Green. Blue. Yellow. Purple. A lighter blue. Lastly, white.
Beautiful.
'The servers are the 7 Chaos. Chaos is power... Power enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos.'
You stopped in your tracks and looked around, rubbing your arms. It was summer time, and yet there was a chill in the air. "G-Guys!" you called out to your friends who were still ahead of you. The three stopped and looked back, and you cupped your hands around your mouth. "D-Did anyone else hear a voice?!"
Noah and Anastasia looked at you, then at each other with furrowed brows. However you could have sworn joey had nodded, ever so slightly. The three waited for you to catch up to them, and Noah wrapped his arms around you, rubbing your own and trying to keep you warm. You glanced back out Flowers house. Had you really walked that far away from it? You looked back at your friends. "We should go home..." "Come on, (Y/N)." Noah gently tugged you along, Noah and Anastasia walking with him. "We'll just walk a little farther. We'll keep the house in sight okay? It'll be an adventure!" You wanted to argue, but it was three against one, and you weren't the kind to argue to begin with. You took one more fleeting glance at the house, and something deep inside you felt as if this were the last time you would ever see it. Whether you would miss it or not, you did not know. What you did know is you weren't adventurous. It wasn't that you were cowardly, though you wouldn't call yourself brave, either. You were just too...
Tired.
Noah led everyone to the edge of the Flowers house's land, as the doctor who founded it had owned at least ten square acres. You had traveled far, at least it felt that way, and you were sure that if you turned around the house would be nothing more than a dot. Except the house wouldn't be there. Something inside you made you sure of it, and by looking at Anastasia and Joey, you could tell they felt the same. Only Noah didn't seem concerned. His eyes scanned the lights in the sky, then lowered to the woods a few feet away. Something glittered. Noah let go of his hold on you and walked in to the woods. Anastasia hurried after him, but you stayed behind to help Joey, who's Lupus made it difficult to maneuver through the trees and dirt floor of the woods. Luckily for the two of you, Noah and Anastasia hadn't gone far. Noah knelt on the ground, examining a large gem. It was white, and you realized that, somehow, it was causing the white light that filled the sky. Noah picked it up and stood. It barely feet in his hand. "What...is it?" Anastasia asked, leaning down slightly and squinting to look at it better. Noah turned it in his hand, thinking. "..Kinda looks like an emerald." "It's a chaos emerald." A nasally voice caught you all by surprise and you whipped your head up. A man stood a few feet away. he was short and mostly bald, a few wisps of hair clung desperately to his peach colored scalp. His nose was long and hooked. He had his hands clasped behind his back, however he then held one out to Noah, frowning slightly. "And you will give it to me. Now. Do so and I promise no harm will come to you and your companions." He had surprised Anastasia so badly she backed away little, tripping over a root and cutting her knee. This was bad. Having Hemophilia, the bleeding was dangerous. you dropped down and tore off a piece of your nightgown, pressing it to her cut. Looking around desperately you saw that your feeling from before had been correct. Flowers house was no where to be seen. You turned to look up at the man, practically begging. "Please sir, help us! My friend is hurt and-" "That is no concern of mine." The man snorted, still holding out his hand expectantly. Still, you pleaded. "But she's sick!" "I said-"
"Now, now, nephew."
This new voice was a bit deeper and more robust.
out of the woods stepped a man. He was tall, extremely tall, and his legs thin but the rest of him fat. He had a large orange mustache and a bald head. His eyes were hidden behind black glasses. The first man gasped when he saw him and straightened his back. "U-Uncle Ivo! I was just trying to get the chaos emerald from these-" "Poor, frightened, and sick children." this new man, Ivo, scolded his nephew, and then knelt down, gingerly picking Anastasia up in his giant arms. "That cut doesn't look like it's going to stop bleeding...your friend said you were sick?" Ivo spoke in a very soft tone, and Anastasia nodded. "I have Hemohilia." "Ah, yes. I have heard of it, but...nobody here has had it in a very long time. Can you tell me what planet you and your friends are from?"
You all were silent. What..planet? your mind was screaming at you to run. That these guys were total loons. But..somehow your gut told you that Ivo was being serious, so in a very soft, and surprisingly tired voice you replied, "Earth." Ivo and his nephew glanced at each other, his nephew's eyes wide. "Earth..?" Ivo repeated, then he stood, still holding Anastasia in his arms. He seemed to be looking over each of you, stopping at Joey. 'your cane...are you all sick?" 'yes." Noah replied. he seemed to be the only one calm after being questions about your home planet. "I have Atypical Kawasaki, Joey has Lupus, and (Y/N) has Kleine-levine Syndrom." "Oh..is that what it was called.." You were so much more tired than you realized. You felt disoriented. Ivo hummed as he thought and then nodded. 'yes..Sleeping beauty syndrome. Do any of you have medication?" You and your friends all reached into your pockets, yours being on the right breast of your gown, and pulled out the small pill bottles. "Good. Follow me. We shall stop this bleeding and then see into how you poor children got here to Mobius." Mobius..?
You didn't have long to think this over. You literally passed out while walking with your friends, collapsing onto the ground and cutting your face on some low hanging branches as you did. Noah ended up having to carry you all the way to Ivo's. You wouldn't awaken until two days later, a metalic blue animal-like robot staring down at you as you lay in bed.
