Chapter 3
A New Discovery
Open space… An open space…. I need an open space to get out of here… the girl thought to herself while jumping over a few more Waddle Dees. She heard someone yelling at her from behind, but she kept running. After a few more feet she looked over her shoulder to see who was yelling. It was a knight, no three knights. This is bad, I'm attracting too much attention. I need to get out of here as soon as possible the girl thought to herself franticly. She caught sight of an opening and took it, too bad that the opening was at the highest part of the castle. The Waddle Dees lost sight of her after she turned a few corners and were looking all over. A high place was the first place that Meta Knight, Sword, and Blade thought of as soon as they lost sight of her. They didn't know what this monster could do just yet, so they had to be extra careful.
The girl stopped, looked around, and jumped onto the ledge of the balcony where the three knights found her. "Please come back from the ledge. We aren't here to hurt you, we want to help" Blade Knight said. "Why should I? I don't know you. You could be lying… I trust no one." The girl said while backing up toward the ledge. "Please trust us, we want to help… Don't do anything that you'll regret" Sword said backing up Blade. The girl just shook her head, turned, and jumped. "Nooooo" Sword and Blade said at the same time. All three of the knights ran over to the ledge not sure what to do, not sure how to undo this.
Just before the girl hit the ground huge golden angelic wings sprouted from her back. The feathers glistened in the day light turning heads all over the castle. She didn't know or care where she was going, she just enjoyed the first moment of freedom that she hadn't gotten in years. Unknowingly she flew over the small town that was a few miles away from the castle. From below her the town gathered to see what the new monster was, expecting to run for their lives. Instead of running, they stopped and watched as this monster flew by on angel wings. Great… This is what I needed… she thought to herself sarcastically. Now I have the whole town looking at me with huge eyes. Although it does feel nice that they can look without trying to kill me, the girl thought and deciding to head toward the forest thinking that it would be safer than inside the castle or the town.
She safely landed in a clearing within the forest. She stood there for a few moments looking for and hazards, but found nothing. She tucked in her wings so that they wouldn't attract so much attention. She sat down by a large tree in the middle of the clearing to rest. "The last time I had to fly away like that was…" she trailed off. She eventually caught her breath and decided to spend the night there, or so she thought. "What are you doing in my forest", a deep voice said. The girl was startled and jumped up, only to find that she was caged in by tall roots. "Dammit…" the girl said with sweat running down her back. "Who are you? What do you want?" the girl demanded. "I was about to ask you the same thing" said the deep voice said.
The girl was frantically looking around to find the source of the deep voice. To her surprise there weren't any obvious sources, there wasn't a living thing around except the trees. THE TREES! the girl screamed in her mind. She looked at the tree in the middle of the opening and walked toward it cautiously. Suddenly eyes and a mouth appeared on the tree. "Who are you? What do you want?" the tree asked. "Where am I?" asked the girl frightened. "There is no need to be afraid child. I am Whispy and you are in Whispy Woods. There are no threats here unless you brought them yourself. Did you?" Whispy asked. "N-No… I-I'm new here. I just wanted to find a place to rest for the night", the girl answered hesitantly. "As I said before there is no need for fear. I give you permission to spend the night in my forest on one condition. You mustn't build a fire within the forest perimeter. Is that understood?" Whispy asked. "Of course', the girl answered.
After Whispy removed the roots his face disappeared. The girl began to relax, and walked around the clearing. A few birds sang in the day light returning everything to normal. The girl walked over to Whispy and sat down leaning on the base of his trunk. A butterfly flutters by barely making a noise, the girl reached out a careful had to it. The butterfly landed on her index finger lightly walking up her hand. The butterfly flew toward her face, startling her but innocently landing on the tip of her nose. She giggled and watched it flutter off in the warm day light. The sunlight gently streamed from between the leaves touching the girl's face. I wish that it could stay like this for the rest of my live, the girl sweetly thought to herself.
A sudden rustle of bushes made her jump, making her get to her feet. She prepared for a sudden take off. "Wait, do not leave", a voice said. "Why? Are you going to kill me? Show yourself", the girl demanded. Meta Knight, Blade, and Sword stepped out from the shadows. Meta Knight wrapped in his cape said "my king has requested that you return to the castle." "What does he need me for?" the girl asked to which he replied "he just simply wants you to feel welcome to this small town. Will that be a problem?" The girl shook her head and relaxed. "The king will meet us at the entrance to the town. I suggest that you don't try to escape again. We simply want to make you feel comfortable" Meta Knight implied.
The girl followed Meta Knight, Sword, and Blade out of the forest. Before they left the girl thanked Whispy and waved goodbye. The four of them walked out of the forest and entered a path heading toward the town. There was an awkward silence between them, the only sound was the tapping of their feet on the hard ground. I can't believe they trust me. They aren't even surrounding me. Could I actually trust them? the girl thought to herself. A few birds flew by breaking the silence between them, but nobody said anything. "Why am I even following these people? Are they lying, are they going to kill me?" these thoughts raced through her head making her tense. The others seemed to notice and reassured her that they wouldn't harm her.
After a while walking without a word the four reached the small town. Everyone that lived in the town was there, or so the girl thought so. King DeDeDe and Escargoon were there standing in front of a car waiting for her to approach them. "These people are known as Cappies, and this is Cappy Town" Blade said to the girl. The girl nodded to signal that she understood. The Cappies looked at her with wide eyes, wondering if she was here to help or harm them. A small Cappy child walked over to the girl and asked "Are you the one who flew over the town?" The girl slowly nodded wondering what the child would do next. Gasps and wows were coming from the crowd surprising the girl. She had never had such appreciation from people, it almost felt good.
"Could we see your wings again?" someone in the crowd asked. A few other Cappies shouted agreements and nodded. The girl looked at them with hesitation and wondering what she should next. "Please don't fly off, we're just curious" the small child said. "A-Alright" the girl said hesitantly. She relaxed her back and released her wings. Her golden wings stretched open and everyone gasped. "A-Are they real", someone asked, the girl nodded. A few brave Cappies walked closer to her. "What's going on?" someone in the back said as the Cappies split down the middle allowing whoever it was through. It was a young girl in a long blonde braid, followed by an even younger boy whose face was covered by his hair. Behind the boy was a creature that the girl had never seen in her life. It was…. Pink. It was an unnatural pink color. The girl wondered what this creature was, was it harmless or was it harmful? As she wondered what it was the girl with the braid stepped through the Cappies and caught sight of the winged girl. She gasped and stared at the girl with the wings. The girl with the wings didn't like being stared at, it made her feel like she was in a museum. It brought up to many horrible memories of being back at Nightmare's. She stepped back a little and put her wings down behind her so that they weren't sable to be seen. "I-I'm sorry… I've just never seen an angel before… my name is Fumu" the girl with the braid said. "And this is my brother Bun" she pushed Bun in sight with a hesitant smile. An angel….? But I'm not a… the girl thought to herself shocked.
