A Journey to Find Herself

Chapter 7

Broken Wings

I grunted in pain as I stood, getting off of Amara's broken wings as fast as my pain filled body could. She lay on the grass, surrounded by the students of the school, Sora in just as much pain as myself and calling for help. My head throbbed and my arm was bruised from the fall.

"What happened here?" Ms. Gainsborough cried. She emerged from the crowd, panic evident on her face.

"Long story." I quickly blurted out. The experienced nurse rushed to Amara and stood at her feet. She reached her head to the sky and tilted her head back, a green aura working up in her hands. It writhed through the air like a snake and coated my winged friend. Her wings joints clicked back into their places and the gaps in her wings began to fill in.

I breathed a sigh of relief to see all her wounds gone; her wings now full and clean. Her eyes fluttered open tiredly and she moaned as she propped herself onto her elbows.

"That hurt." Amara stated bluntly. Some of the students around her snickered, mostly the boys, but otherwise showed signs of relief.

"Amara! Never thought I'd see you back here!" Mr. Hatire yelled as he emerged from the crowd, a huge, unnatural grin on his face. He knelt next to Amara, whose wings disappeared in a flash of lights, and embraced her.

"Hey dad, sorry I haven't contacted you, it's been hectic with me." Amara replied, the small signs of a smile appearing. I was in complete shock, the whole school was shocked.

"Students!" Mr. Strife's voice boomed. He pushed through the students and stood next to Mr. Hatire, his short blonde spikes that fell over his left eye shined in the sun. His ocean blue eyes demanded authority and his attire consisted of a black cloak with one sleeve cut at the shoulder. He looked to Mr. Hatire and they both nodded.

"As you know, the school has been overrun by-" Mr. Strife started but Amara butted in.

"Heartless." Everyone looked to Amara, she was full of surprises.

"Ok… the Heartless have overrun our school and we must win it back! Anyone willing to fight please come with Mr. Hatire and myself and anyone who does not wish to fight please exit the school through the far gates. We will contact you when school resumes." Mr. Strife continued.

I watched as many of the people walked to the gates but I stood in my place, along with Naminè, Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, Amara and Sora.

"Follow me." Mr. Strife said. We walked to a cluster of trees, where I saw three faint figures in the distance. As we neared them, they turned their attention to us. The girl on the left had a dark purple spaghetti strap shirt that barely covered her stomach and a denim mini skirt. Her deep purple hair reached the tips of her shoulder blades, her pale blue eyes lighting up. She had tanned skin and two silver, big loop earrings hung from her ears. Her purple boots crunched twigs and leaves as she ran to us, a wide, toothy grin on her face.

"Hey I'm Shay." She introduced hyperly. A boy with silvery blue hair, going into blue which covered his right eye and cobalt blue eyes looked depressed but approached us.

"Zexion." He stated bluntly. He wore a blue grey shirt and brown cargo pants.

"The name's Axel, A-X-E-L," A boy with red, spiked hair and pale green eyes spelled out. "Got it memorized?" He pointed to the side of his forehead. He wore a black jacket over a red shirt and black cargo pants.

"Can you all proceed to the detention room? Mr. Hatire and I have some business to attend to." Mr. Strife stated. Everyone nodded. The two teachers ran in some unknown direction, through the trees.

"Follow me!" Shay said perkily and ran to a place in-between two bent trees. We all followed and Shay pulled up a wooden trap door.

"Come on!" Axel shouted and climbed down a ladder inside.

As everyone reached the bottom, they were greeted by darkness and the sound of raised voices. Suddenly a light flickered on some way away and Axel shushed us. For some unknown reason, we creped across a barely visible wall and stopped as we reached an open, wooden door.

"It's your fault we're stuck in here! You just HAD to offer to come here! If you hadn't, we might actually have been able to see people! Trust me, looking at you for any amount of time is torture!" A girl's voice yelled from inside.

"Emma…" A boy's voice whispered barely audibly.

"Get it through your head! I don't like you; you don't like me, get ov-" Her voice was silenced, a short growl muffled but was quickly replaced with a sigh.

Axel walked straight into the room and yelled jokingly: "So is this what you do when I'm not around?"
