Would you stand by and let things happen or take a stand?
"I just feel like everything going on here isn't real. Can you believe it? I mean- you witnessed it. But you seem to be the only one who remembers anything."
Roxas looked out into the sunset with sad blue orbs, "Sometimes it's better to accept insanity for what it is than to try to go against it."
Their Title Here:
Chapter 7:
Arise
Sora was sitting inside of his trailer, stretching and getting ready for their next performance the next day. The past couple of days in Twilight Town were quiet and very homely feeling. No problems had presented themselves with the circus animals or props. He couldn't have been more thankful, knowing that he would probably be the first to fix something once anything did go wrong.
It was late at night already and the sun had gone down. But something inside Sora made him feel so pumped up that there was no way he could get a shut eye. An unexplained excitement sparked in him preventing him from relaxing. The feeling one would get that could not be shaken and only relieved by running around. It was joy.
There was nothing else that Sora wanted to do more than feel the breeze in the dark night and feel free. No longer like a showcased animal he had always been in this environment.'
With bare feet he took off, hurrying into the night and rushing against the cool air. Both of his feet had not touched the ground at the same time since he left his trailer. A couple of cartwheels and back handsprings seemed to be included in his wild splurge.
Sora's azure eyes sparked in the darkness. He crept through bushes and trees with the grace of a dancer, reaching the sharp rocks pressurized against the splashing waters on shore.
A grin appeared on Sora's face, his pearly white teeth shone and his eyes twinkled. As instinct took over he dove into the water, reaching rocks and climbing on top of them.
He squinted and stared forward, maybe he could see the island he came from where he was sitting. But of course that wouldn't happen. His island was further South from this cool Northern area.
A sudden loud bang erupted into Sora's ears making him quickly duck behind the rock, with half of his body submerged underwater.
Fire started to spark midst the sand where twigs were left out. The flames heat radiated against the surroundings, making it brighter. Sora ducked a bit further, so only his eyes could look forward to see what was going on.
There was an outline of a tall slender man close to the fire. He paced back and forth, muttering a couple words here and there.
Sora kept staring, mesmerized by the dancing specks of flame flickering not too many feet before him. Sora looked for the mans face and as if on cue their eyes met.
Emerald green eyes stared back at the blue ones, quickly the fire went out and darkness surrounded the shore again.
The figure was gone, and Sora continued to stare not sure what to think of what just happened.
Back with Namine
My morning was greeted by glimpses of light passing through part of the crumbled wall. The light shone so that I could see several dust specks flying out and about carelessly as always.
I couldn't help but groan, waking in a daze was not my favorite. I tried recalling what day it was but it escaped me. My fingers twitched before I finally forced my body up into a sitting position. My vision still was blurry as I tried to make out what was in front of me.
A scream escaped my lips and I grasped my heart.
"I think we scared her." The familiar red head spoke, a smile evident in her tone.
The silver haired boy to the left of the girl, "No, just you."
"W-what are you doing here?" I stammer, wobbling as I stand up quietly.
"We're just checking up on you." Kairi looked around the room we were in, "This place...kinda sucks. No offence." Her voice trailed off in a mumble.
"Oh right- I can go home, wait no- I can't because it's destroyed." I retorted, slightly annoyed.
I felt ashamed for lashing out on her, it was out of character for myself but there was this anger inside me dying to pry itself out.
Riku stepped in front of Kairi, with the same monotone look as always. "We came here in hopes of actually seeing Roxas."
"Roxas? Why him?" I blink, rubbing the side of my aching head.
"Don't worry, we're not planning on kidnapping your lover." Kairi replied, grinning at me.
"He is none of the sort!" I snap a bit too quickly.
Kairi just nodded at me unconvinced and traced shapes on the chipped walls. "Anyways, where's Roxas?" Kairi asked again, looking back at me finally with her shining eyes with a lavender tint.
The door suddenly opened and the spiky haired blonde boy stepped in. "Hey, Namine I brought you-"
"Speak of the devil." Riku spoke, approaching Roxas.
"What's going on here?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"We need you to come with us, Roxas." Riku replied, taking a hold of Roxas's arms a bit more firm than a usual persons hold on someone.
Roxas tried to pull away and met my eyes as if to ask again what was going on but I was as clueless as he was.
"Let go of me!" Roxas growled, clenching his fists.
Kairi smiled, looking deeply into Roxas's eyes, "You're going to come with us, aren't you Roxas?"
Roxas's eyes stared back at Kairi's, hypnotized and dull for just one second before snapping back out of it, "What the hell?"
The auburn haired girl frowned, looking at Riku for an answer. "That's weird..."
"What do you need me for?" The blonde haired boy broke out of Riku's hold and took several steps away from the two demanding people.
Kairi scratched her chin while tilting her head.
"There's a bounty on your head, Roxas." Riku's voice brought an end to the weird silence.
Roxas scoffed and took another step back, "So you're trying to turn me in? What did I do?" Roxas's voice rose a bit in concern as he brought his hands up as if to state his innocence.
"No, we're trying to protect you, Roxas," Kairi explained, "There are good and bad people in this world. And the good ones just happened to want you dead."
I stepped into the conversation, "The good people? Which side are you guys on?"
Kairi put her hands on her hips and turned to me, "Sorcerer and a shapeshifter here, not exactly the perfect little angels, huh?" She gestured to herself and Riku.
"So why do 'bad' guys want to protect me? Why do people want me dead?" Roxas moved closer to me.
The silver haired boy pulled out a a small black box, "You're the heir to our people." Riku bowed simultaneously with Kairi.
Roxas looked at them with a strange expression on his face.
"You are next in line to rule our dimension. Oblivion."
Riku opened the black box in his hand, revealing a silver necklace with four triangular ends meeting together in the middle.
"That's...my Dad's necklace." Roxas's eyes widened, looking down at the object.
