Our protagonists rescued a peculiar girl,
Looking down at myself the first thing I noticed was my necklace in hand, its stone no longer cerulean blue but a blood red as if it had been erased and filled with a new eloquent and resonant color.
Their Title Here
Chapter 3:
Say Something Say Something
I instantly gripped at my hair, examining it carefully. Auburn strands slid through my tanned palm. Xion Roxas and Axels expression before me were different from before. As if they were looking at some dear friend instead of a stranger.
"What did you call me?" I questioned taking a closer look down at myself. I was wearing a pink top accompanied by black shorts. I felt a bit further from the ground and saw that I was wearing black heeled boots.
"Kairi, are you okay?" Xion furrowed her eyebrows, tilting her head so her black hair hung to the left.
Taking a step back I begin to stutter, "Uh-Uhm, I think I need to...to go uhm-do something." I justified swiftly before turning my back and starting to walk into the open unoccupied road before me. The sun was beating down on my foreign body.
With the blood red charm looped in the necklace in my hand I questioned whether this was all real or not.
What was going on? Did I hit my head really badly...Am I dreaming? What the hell...
From my previous reluctance to go home I find my legs to wander just there. Home. The small beige walls that were surrounded by a once green yard where now yellowed patches stuck out amongst the odd green colored grass.
I stared at my home. Stopping in my tracks I finally notice what's wrong. The door that before had stood in its frame now was partially missing, hanging slightly open showing the screen door that was torn apart.
An unsure feeling pulled at my heart as I took closer steps. Soon I had passed the door frame looking inside the house that I called home. Destroyed. It looked like no one had lived here in ages. Though I was sure that I was here not so long ago. I could see the living rooms furniture tossed on the wooden floor, vases and portraits scattered against the pine wood floor beams.
As I looked to my right the kitchen looked worse, plates and glasses that once held its shape were shattered as well.
A scurrying sound made me shriek and jump. A rather fat rodent rat scampered along the blue and white tiles. By the looks of it, it had fed itself well. I shake my head in disgust, frowning.
My room!
Without another thought I sped up the carpeted staircase leading into another hallway that was completely out of place. The door to my room was open, advancing with insignificantly small steps my heart hammered.
Another noise erupted from my room that made me halt, frozen in place. My feet remained rooted to the cracked and tarnished floor.
Mustering up as much courage and audacity I could I swallowed a lump that hung in my throat, stepping quickly into my room with my eyes shut tightly as if to brace myself for whatever was about to come at me.
Taking a little peek, I squinted with one eye slowly opening followed by the other.
My heart sunk in alleviation. Despite the fact the room I spent most of my time in was completely brought out of order at least nothing frightening was keeping itself in the familiar space.
"What are you doing here?" A snarl coming from behind me jolted me forward, bracing myself in my graceless descend closer to the floor. Turning with a shaking body I faced a boy, the red hair covered my face as I looked quickly.
He hovered above me, with green jade colored eyes. His body was muscularly built but not overly done. Pale moon-colored hair hung down strictly, much different from Roxas's tousled look.
"Answer me." He demanded again, with his forceful voice I winced again, fearing for my own life.
I swallowed another lump that had accumulated in my hoarse feeling throat before speaking, "T-this is my home..." I whispered softly, looking down at the closest object next to me. It was a book opened up with torn out pages. "What have you done?" I whimper lightly, taking in everything..or more like what was left of where I lived. "Where are my parents?" I got up, my fist clenching and approaching the tall stranger, "WHAT DID YOU DO?"
He caught my fists before they could collide with his firm body. "Kairi?"
Not this again, "My name is not Kairi!"I bickered. The tone in his face changed to an amused smile.
"Where's that necklace of yours, dear?"
Roxas and his two friends departed as the sun lowered on the horizon. The sand color haired boy started heading home, yawning. For some reason he couldn't figure out why his body was so tired. It felt like his muscles were tense from something he just couldn't remember.
He knew he was hanging out with his friends all day long and Kairi had joined them. He was heavily confident that that is what happened on this day. Yet in the back of his mind he felt like his brain knew something he didn't.
Another yawn emerged from Roxas's lips. He felt dead beat and couldn't wait to lay back down in his bed. He didn't want to face his parents. Or parent as he often described. He couldn't accept his new stepfather as his own. No matter what his new stepfather did he would never measure up to Roxas's real father.
It didn't matter to him that his biological father ran out on him, Roxas still had faith that what his father did was for the good of his family.
"He's trying to be part of this family but you wont let him! Why can't you just accept him?" His mother often lectured Roxas about her new husband. But Roxas felt as if his own mother had betrayed him.
There were little memories Roxas had left of his dad. He knew that his dad worked in the business industry and often didn't have time for him and his mother. But when he did they always did something spontaneous.
"Why do you fight all the time?" In the back of his mind a young form of Roxas was screaming, eyes brimmed with tears as his parents continued to shout at each other. His mind wasn't able to comprehend why adults did what they did.
Roxas groaned, remembering things he would rather forget. Now wasn't a time for memories like that to spring in his head.
He gave himself a gentle slap on the forehead, running it down his tired face.
Get it together, man.
As soon as he relaxed and calmed down he saw strange lights from the corner of his eyes. His azure bright blue eyes were sensitive to the bright strange lights coming from about a block away.
For an odd reason Roxas's instinct told him to check it out but he felt like he had done enough exploring for a day even though he was sure he hadn't. There wasn't an explanation for why he instantly started to walk towards the lights coming from a little beige house.
"Place your necklace down and form a triangle with your hand- that's right, place it over the necklace..Good."
The boy that had been in my room introduced himself as Riku, a self proclaimed wizard. I could care less if he called himself a mermaid because with all the crazy that had happened today I was up to believing anything.
Riku took out what resembled a blade, but on further examination with my eyes it was a large and extremely razor sharp tooth. He raised it above his head and in an instant the tooth was lodged inside of the necklace which was tightly in-between my hands.
"ARE YOU MENTAL?" I screamed, with my eyes opened widely.
"No, now you see if I was mental, I would have missed."
Right after his sentence was finished I felt my body being thrown against the wall. A torturing feeling burst in my whole body that I could do nothing but cry out about in reply.
My vision started to blur for a moment as I found myself squinting to the lights that swirled around the room.
A girl with sunkissed skin stood in the middle with the same auburn colored hair that had twirled inbetween my fingers not so long ago.
I brought my hand before my eyes, no longer tan but pale and boringly white as it was before. I still felt much too weak to move furtherly.
Riku and the redhaired girl were positioned before my frail body.
"Is she dead?" The tan girl everyone had called Kairi spoke with a obvious pout in her voice. "Damnit, Riku- we should really stop killing our subjects, now I have to cut her to bits and burn her-"
"I'm alive!" I managed to shriek.
"Well then." Kairi wiped her hands off on her jeans.
What happened next almost made me faint if it weren't for the instant adrenaline that surged in my blood. I could hear bones snap and crackle in her body as she slowly hunched over. Fur started to quickly make its way over her animal like form. She grew in a large size and the last thing I heard was a piercing wail.
Well fuck.
She just turned into a giant fox.
Riku tensed and I almost thought he'd turn into an crazy animal like a giraffe or something but he quickly whipped around the corner to the hallway.
Scurried against the wall there was a frightened looking boy with the tousled sandy hair.
