Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom hearts or any of the Kingdom Hearts characters in this story. I also do not own these superstitions... I just researched them for like half an hour... This is a good way to study actually...
Hi!MylinebuttonisnotcurrentlyworkingandsoIamdoingthis...Blahblah..WellwhatamIsupposedtodo?Justputabunchofdots?
"Hey who's that girl?" Roxas interrupted them while pointing a finger at a girl who was walking towards them she was dressed in black.
Demyx turned. "Ahhh! It's the curse!" He shouted while hiding behind Axel.
"Ugh. What superstition are you talking about now?" Axel asked.
"I don't know but with all the bad luck, we probably do have a curse by now." Demyx replied then went back to freaking out.
"Dude! Calm down! It's probably Larxene or something." Roxas reasoned.
"Nope. Larxy's at the beach lounging away." Axel replied.
"Oh. Well, maybe it's just some girl..." Roxas said. He trailed off when he noticed that the girl was walking weirdly. She had a limp which got more obvious. She was slouched over just slightly and she was holding her skirt higher so she didn't trip.
"Ummm, is she coming to us?" Demyx asked nervously.
"Yeah." Axel affirmed as she got closer.
"Do we run?" Roxas asked. He was getting quite freaked out.
"I don't know but if she's dead, that's bad luck. If you bury a woman in black they will come back to haunt you. And If you bury them with their eye's open, they will take someone to the grave with them." Demyx said fearfully.
"You learned this from a cheap horror movie?" Axel asked in disbelief.
"...No..." Demyx said.
"What do you mean '...No...'?" Roxas narrowed his eyes.
"Well, I stayed up all night searching on the internet and reading books about superstitions." Demyx answered.
"Demyx! You get all worked up about a movie, and just to scare yourself more, you decide to read a bunch of nonsense about superstitions." Axel growled.
"Guys, she's here." Roxas whispered. The three boys turned and looked at her.
She was actually quite pretty. She had long dark red hair that fell down to her elbows. He eyes were a dark brown and she was quite pale. She seemed upset about something. She wore a long black dress that went just past her ankles and around her stomach was a black corset. The dress didn't have sleeves but she had spider webs wrapped around her arms. Real ones. Her hair was also tangled with spider webs and it gave her a creepy look.
When she stood only two feet in front of them she stood straight and grimaced. "Can you please help me?" She asked weakly. Then she collapsed into Axel's arms.
Axel stared at his friends then turned back to the house. "Umm we can't take her inside just yet maybe- Hey!"
Demyx and Roxas turned and saw the man who was in their house standing in the window. He pulled out a match and threw it onto the couch.
"Oh boy." Roxas said.
"Well that's an understatement." Demyx replied as the house went up in flames. "So... What now? We have no where to go, there's an unconcious girl in our hands and the Superior is going to kill us!!"
"Calm down. There's a cottage inside the forest that we used to hang out at. We can go there!" Axel suggested.
"NO! We are NOT going into the dark forest at night on FRIDAY THE 13TH!!" Demyx shouted waking up the girl.
"Oh..." She moaned and Axel helped her stand. "Where am I?" She asked grogilly.
"You came to us and asked if we could help you. Then you passed out." Demyx explained bluntly.
The girl sighed. "Well, thank you I suppose." She had one of those accents. If wasn't exactly british it was well, old. Something that you's see out of those movies that take place in an old village.
Her voice itslef was downright creepy. It was soft and innocent yet, cold and evil. It was empty as if she were dead but it was strong at the same time. She had a steady edge to it and she didn't falter over her words. It was like something you heard at the back of your mind just as you were falling asleep and you remembered something scary.
Demyx got goosebumps. "Umm you don't need to thank us for anything." He said unsteadily. "We didn't do anything."
"Oh. Well, I suppose I should leave now." She stood and winced.
"Wait- You asked for our help didn't you?" Roxas asked.
"Oh. Never mind about that." She gave Roxas a small smile.
"But-"
"I'm fine." She reassured him.
Axel stood behind her and shook his head. "Well, where are you going? You have a limp and it might be hard to get there."
"I need to get to my home in the forest." She replied.
"We'll take you." Roxas suggested.
"No it's not necessary." She shook her head and began to walk away.
Roxas sighed. She wasn't going to give up. Well he couldn't just let her leave could he? I guess I have to.
"C'mon guys." Axel said after a few minutes. "We should get to that cottage before midnight."
"Umm, we still have a burning building behind us." Demyx noted.
"Oh."
"Can't you put it out?" Roxas asked.
"Not really. It's kind of strong." Demyx replied.
"I'll help." Axel suggested. Axel cntrolled the fire while Demyx tried to put it out. Roxas, meanwhile, got a stick andwet it. Then he wrapped a cloth around the tip and set the cloth on fire. The stick didn't catch fire because of the wetness and voila! A torch.
"We'll need this if we're gonna go into the forest at night." Roxas explained when the fire went down.
The three boys made their way into the forest and down the path. After a few minutes of walking they reached a bridge that stretched over a river.
"It's just over this bridge." Axel explained.
Suddenly, a rooster crowed. "At night?" Roxas asked. "That's a bit weird."
"Oh god! If a rooster crows at night that means death... And I think I just stepped on a crack..." Demyx said.
"Demyx! You don't have a mother!" Axel hissed. "And calm down about the rooster. No one's gonna die."
"Geez, I was just sayin'." Demyx grumbled.
"Hey there it is!" Roxas pointed to a stone cottage. It wasn't that big but it wasn't small. It was a one story cittage with a living room, kitchen/ dining room, bathroom and two bedrooms. It had a fireplace and everything you would need to live there. Except for food.
Axel walked into the cellar to search for something while Demyx and Roxas chatted in the living room.
"Witches can't cross running water. It drains their powers. That's part of the reason why they tied up girls who they thought were witches and threw them into water. " Demyx said.
"Demyx, those witch trials were fake and you know that. There's no such thing as witches or magic, or even, luck." Roxas said softly so he didn't aggrevate his friend.
"Roxas, yes there is!" Demyx objected.
"Demyx-"
"Hey guys! I found a potato!" Axel shouted triumphantly from the cellar.
The two boys stared at him and started to laugh. They didn't notice the eyes watching from the window.
