-Ok to start off...
Final Fantasy belongs to Square Enix (Square, Square Soft) and Square Enix of America. None of the Jobs, Towns or most people in this story are mine.
I do however claim the six main characters in the story: Jack, Squall, Kitty, Luna, Iris and Kian, they are mine. Also most of the situations that go on.
But you would have to have played Final Fantasy to actually know the diffarence... yeah
Quit Being Such A Fraidy Kitty
The forest wasn't vary dark, it was vary thin in trees so sunlight came in without any problems, there were squirrels, birds and others running around. To Kitty's relief we haven't seen a single spider since we got in, and its been about a good half an hour ago, which was good because it seemed that Kitty calmed down now, when we first entered she was jumping at any wound that was made. Plus she usually held on to Luna's or my arm, which made it numb for at least ten minutes, Luna passed Kitty to me whenever Kitty would reach for her. We walked on this one narrow road in the middle of the forest that was made for transporting goods from the old castle and Corneria, it was covered in leaves with trees on both sides, it was pretty nice looking actually. I looked to my right at Kitty, she was going ok, and I still wondered who was older, Luna or Kitty… I would have to guess Luna… Kitty acts like a younger sister… I then looked at Squall and Kian who were walking on the edge of the road looking into the woods, trying to see if there was anything in there, Squall probably talked Kian into looking for Medusa (who is said to haunt these woods, stupid folk tales if you tell me). Luna was on Kitty's right, so Kitty is between Luna and me, Iris was in front of all of us, looking forward making sure he didn't look back, he just wanted to get through with this.
"What was that?" asked Squall looking into the trees carefully
"Nothing Squall, there is nothing out here!" I said, mostly because I saw Kitty snap her head towards where Squall was. "It was probably a Squirrel or something"
"No it was something big" replied Kian, walked on two legs
"Quit trying to scare us, you two" said Luna looking at Kian
I saw something move in the woods, there was something there, I held my right hand in front of Kitty so she could stop, and Luna did the same
"What is it?" asked Luna
"There is something there…" I said not taking my eyes from the spot I last saw the thing move. It couldn't be Medusa… something that foul couldn't exist… could it?
We kept looking at the woods. We didn't see anything anymore, what was it… I heard some leaves be crushed by some feet the woods. I took out my bow and readied an arrow. I was getting ready, Squall turned to glance at me, he saw me holding my bow ready to attack, so he pulled his sword and held it ready.
There was silence in the air, the only thing making a sound is Iris, who still continued walking, he either didn't hear us stop or didn't care… if it was Medusa, I hope she takes him first.
I looked back towards where I last saw the figure move. Nothing. there wasn't a sound anywhere in the woods.
"Whoa!!!!" yelled Iris, fallowed by a bunch of leaves being rustled, Kitty quickly buried her head into my chest. I looked at Iris, who was hanging upside down thirty feet in the air, from a rope that had wrapped around his leg. The leaves probably hid it. But who had hid it?
"What the fuck is this?" yelled Iris as he hung there
Kitty took her head off my chest and looked at Iris, she seamed to calm down when she saw that.
I heard movement from the forest, and laughter. I saw two figures move from behind a tree and into the open looking at Iris hang there and laughed, they wore normal human clothes and some typical witch masks, they were just kids, about twelve or thirteen, one was a boy and the other a girl, the girl turned to the boy
"Ha-ha, I told you it wasn't Medusa!"
"I could have sworn he looked like Medusa," replied the boy, his voice sounded familiar
"Let me down, you stupid punks!" yelled Iris swinging violently
The five of us (Squall, Kian, Kitty and Luna and myself) walked closer to get a better look, I wanted to see if I recognized the boy
"That's ok, leave him there hanging" started Luna smiling "we could hang him in front of the cave and attach some wind chimes or something" she butted Kitty with her elbow smiling, Kitty smiled too "at least he would work for something"
The rest of us, and the kids, laughed, the boy turned to look at me and examined me "Jack? Is that you?"
I looked at the kid 'who was that' I asked myself looking into the witch mask
The kids giggled and took off their masks, the boy had short black hair, and brown eyes, he was usually really shy, except for when he had sugar in him, he was 13 and his name is Julian, the girl was about a year and a half younger then him but acted more like an adult at times. She had long black hair and black eyes. Her name was Lanette, they we're brother and sister, my mom and their mom are friends, but they like to be around me or my sister, mostly my sister because they could get her mad easier.
"It's me Julian," said the kid running up to me, while his sister started to poke Iris with a stick, as Iris kept swearing and trying to break free
"What's up, Julian?" I asked, "What are you doing here?"
Everyone looked at Julian, but he ignored the rest "we're here looking for Medusa, but haven't caught anything except for him there" he looked at Iris, who was turning red as Lanette giggled and poked Iris in the stomach with the stick, why he didn't use his hands to take hold of the stick is beyond me.
"You do know that Medusa isn't real…. Right?" I asked him
"Of course Medusa's real!" he said, "why wouldn't she be?"
"Get me the fuck down from here!" yelled Iris moving left and right "my god dam blood is rushing to my head"
"Oh god" I said "I took my bow and got an arrow I aimed it at the rope, I let go of the arrow and it cut Iris down, he fell into the floor next to Lanette, she looked at him lay there for a while then continued to poke him, he quickly unwrapped the rope from his legs and backed up
"God what is up with you and that stick?" he said
"Yeah… we have to get going" I looked down to Julian "if you do find Medusa, let me know ok?"
"Alright, where you going anyways?" he asked
"We're going to… check out the old castle… see what's good inside" I replied, I didn't want to tell him the real reason because he would go tell his mom when he got home, and she would tell everyone in town…
"Uh… alright" he said smiling "bye" he ran off towards his sister and were working on the trap again
Kitty looked at me "why didn't you tell him?" she asked
"Because I don't want the whole town to know," I replied looking back and seeing the siblings tie the rope back together. "Lets go" I said and started walking, and Iris quickly regained the front, mumbling to him self. We made our way out of the woods and into the opening between the forests.
"See Kitty" started Luna "there's nothing to worry, about quit being suck a fraidy cat" Kitty looked at Luna and nodded as we all took in the sun.
