Chapter 1: Questions
POV of boy:
I look over behind me and I see a giant crater. It's crazy! What was there anywhere?! Oh, well maybe if I can find a town I can get some answers. As I walk around I rind a river. I don't remember the last time I had a drink so I might as well get a drink. I for my hands into a cup and get a few drinks of water. I glance up and I see smoke on my right. I panic and run away from the smoke.
Towards the Smoke
A girl steps out of the forest with a basket full of berries. She sets the basket down. The hairpin holding her hair out of her face falls out and her Pink hair covers her face. "Stupid pin." She mutters as she picks it up and brushes the dirt off it. As she's getting up, she notices footprints along the river. The girl puts the basket of berries in her little house and follows the tracks. "They don't look like any animal prints I've ever seen." She says as she grabs her bow and a sheath of arrows and begins to follow the tracks.
POV of boy
I don't know how long I've been running, but the river I was following goes under a wall. I thought about going into the river, but then again it could be a waterfall. I start following the wall until I come across a small opening. I'm about to go into it when I hear the sound of leaves crunching. I quickly run into the opening, hoping whatever that is following me does not catch up with me. I dash into the opening in the wall and find myself in a town. It has banners everywhere. There are little stands set up too. I guess a festival is going on? Ok time to refresh. I was with my mom and little black things came out from the ground and attack us. Then the black things she called Heartless came and dragged me into a portal. After that, I wake up in strange place, with a minute before it self-destructs. After running around in the forest I am here. But what did mom call me? Before we left, she gave me these clothes and said something….Grrr I cannot remember. I guess I should walk around a bit. This place does look familiar…
I decided I sit down instead. I'm not getting up for a while. I might as well take a nap. I doze off and I wake up to screaming. I snap awake and look around. I see Heartless everywhere. And a man and woman both with Key shaped sword. I get up and a sword materializes in my hands. "Whoa…" I say. Time to get some revenge. I dash past the man and woman and slash the all the Heartless I see. The next thing I know I'm surrounded by Heartless they only leave me a small circle. I hear somebody shout something "BURN!" and I see the man jump up with his key pointing at the Heartless behind me and fireballs shoot from the tip. "Whoa thanks." I say. "Don't mention it, but let's focus on the Heartless." The man says. "Sora I'm ready," says the woman. "Glad you could join the fight Kairi." Sora says. The three of us for a triangle while the Heartless surround us. Sora looks at me and nods. Almost as he's saying "Good Luck." And we all dash towards the Heartless. When we clear the area of them, three more show up all with armor shields and swords. "Sora the knights are here!" Kairi shouts. "Not exactly the knights in shining armor now are you?" Sora says to the Heartless.
POV of girl
I'm trying to follow these tracks, but leaves keep blocking them. I follow them to a wall. Whatever made these footprints was sticking towards the river. Then I see the tracks lead to a small opening. "Crap, it must've gone into Twilight Town." I mumble. I adjust my bow on my shoulder and turn around when I hear swords clashing. I get my bow ready with an arrow loaded and slowly walk towards the noise. I see three people fighting three dark, mysterious knights. I guess my bow won't work against them considering they have helmets and armor. I see a girl and two boys. One with a Key shaped sword and one with a double-edged sword all are battling their own knight. I decide to lay low so I hide halfway in the opening with my bow ready.
POV of boy
This Knight is good. It's blocking all of my attacks and attacking before I have a chance to block. My sword's heavy so it takes a few seconds to bring it up. The knight ends up making me back into the wall. I glance over to see how Sora and Kairi are doing, I see Sora actually winning. He's matching the Knight blow for blow and I get a glace of his finishing move, when he just jumped behind it and slammed his sword on the knights' head and white pillars of light emerged from the point of contact. I turn my attention back to my knight. I try the same thing Sora did, I get down and slide under the knight and appear behind it. I jump and raise my sword in the air. I guess the knight saw its friend die this way, because it turns around and slashes at my chest. It rapidly slashes at me, tearing my shirt to shreds. Now I'm mad. This was one of the only things I have connecting me to my mom. I jump back and my sword becomes engulfed in flames. The fire doesn't hurt me, but I don't care. When the fire dies down, I'm holding one of those key shaped blades. However, mine has the same blade but the handle itself looks like its fire. I grip my new sword and rapidly slash at the knight. The knight falls to its knees and starts evaporating. I start walking away when it gets me. I hear the sound of a sword piercing something. I look down and see a black blade covered with blood in my chest. I fall to my knees and put my hands out to stop me from falling forward. I feel blood coming up my throat and I couch it out. Then I hear a voice scream "NO!" and I fall down, unconscious.
POV of girl
As I'm watching the battle, I'm keeping a close eye on the boy, who just used fire to summon a one of the key shaped blades. I watched him beat the Knight-thing. I silently cheered. However, he made the mistake of turning his back to the knight, because it threw its sword at the boy. I looked away when the blade hit him. And when I looked back, I screamed "NO!" I quickly covered my mouth. I drop my bow and run to the boy who now is on the ground unconscious. I hold him and try to wake him up. He doesn't. I pull the sword out of him and chuck it as far as I can. I check his pulse. His heart is still beating but its beating very slowly. I see the other man and woman finish their battle and they run over to where the boy and I are. I have the boy in my arms, tears flowing down my cheeks. The woman asks me to hand her the boy. I scream "No!" and pick the boy up and run into the woods, to my house. When I arrive at my house I set the boy down on my bed and wrap his wound with a few cloths I had lying around. I forget all about my bow and I run back and grab it. When I get back, the boy starts thrashing around as if he's fighting something. I take his hand and hold it, telling him it's ok. I start crying again, when he settles down. I check him for any other wounds; I only see a few small cuts on his chest. I see one thing though that makes my jaw drop. Around his neck was a red pendant in the shape of a flame. It's glowing like crazy. Then my light blue water shaped pendant started glowing and water swirled around my pendent and fire swirled around his. I now know that this boy is a Fire Elemental.
