Chapter Twenty Eight
Parents and my age
Today was a long day. Rachel told me that if I wanted to find someone I should go to the next down over. There I could find a place where I could find anyone so long as I have a name. I nodded thanked her and paid the thing called a bill. Seeing how munny helped me I kept it and shrunk it and placed it in my pocket.
I walked for a long while.
"Mommy!" a cry.
I turn to find it, I could hear the agony in the voice. I find a small boy sitting alone on the side of the street. I walked over to him and tried to comfort him. "What's wrong?" I ask him.
"I can't find my mom!" he cried more. I stared and tried to figure out what he was talking about.
"Do you have something of her?" I ask.
"Here, her cell phone." He said.
I stare confused. A cell phone? What is that? I take it and sniff it. I could smell her, and oddly the boy smelled like her only mixed with one other smell. I had no idea what that smell was. "C'mon we'll find her." I take the boy's hand and led him down the side walk. "How long have you been lost?"
"I think… I don't know, I guess a few days. I lost her when I went to the bathroom. I went to the bathroom and when I came back she was gone!"
"Don't worry we'll find her," I loved helping, to think that I've been living in a world of boredom. I can't believe I lasted as long as I did. Helping Humans was fun and it made me realize that I wasn't totally useless. And boy was I wrong, Humans had many things to worry about, heck all of Heart Haven was wrong. I followed the trail that was in my nose. I was getting closer, she had been near here recently.
I sniffed the air once more and smiled. She wasn't far. I flipped the boy on my back and took off. I ran with full speed. When I sensed she was close I placed the boy down. I found a woman next to a cop she was yelling like a mad woman. I smiled and walked the boy over to her.
"Mommy!" he boy exclaimed and the woman turned around and gasped, tears flowed down her face and she knelt down to hug him. She kissed the boy's forehead. "She helped me, she's the one!" he pointed to me before I could turn away and leave the happy ending at that.
"Excuse me," the woman came closer to me. I realized then that I was short. I wasn't tall. Odd, in Heart Haven I was tall, about six feet, men are taller in our world. The woman and I were the same height. The man was about six two. Odd, in our world that man would be short.
"Yes?" I bow, and rose.
"Thank you, you found my son."
"Son?" I never heard the word before. "I'm sorry but…"
"My child, thank you for finding my child." The woman repeated. I tilt my head. What is a child? I never heard of that. I was sure it was some kind of a connection between a older person and a younger person. But what was a Son and what was a Mommy?
I bow to her, "I am glad to help," I rise and start to back off and then slowly turn away.
"Wait," she said.
I did and turned around. "Who old are you?"
I thought, what if I told them my real age? Would that be a bad thing? Yes, the elderly here were sixties and up but in my world that's still like a child. I knew that that wouldn't be a good idea. What should I tell them? I pondered biting my lip. "How old do I look?" I grin, yes that was perfect.
"About fifteen," she answered.
"You're very young, why are you carrying weapons?" the cop asked. I then realized he was talking about my Keyblades. I look back at the handle.
"Is it wrong to carry weapons?" I asked.
"Well at that young of an age," the cop said.
"Well, I am fifteen"- to me it's like being born again- "But if it's wrong I'll gladly put them away." I said.
"No, it's alright, I know what those weapons are. Please do me a favor and tell children that they're custom made, don't tell anyone what they really are," the cop said pulling me away from the "Mommy" and "Son" and had a lot of concern in his voice.
I nod, "I understand," I grin. So Humans knew of Keyblades huh? "Sir can you help me," I knew what a cop was after saving many people. They were people whom stopped those whom were doing things wrong.
"With what?"
"I was looking for a boy named Riku, do you know where I can find him?" I asked.
"Yes, well I think so. He might be in the next town over. But he might be busy, and he doesn't see too people… or girls," he said.
I frown this had to be that Shade guy again. Ugh, why is everyone thinking about some boy with tons of munny? I'm looking for a nice, young boy with silver hair! And apparently this Shade man also had silver hair. And it was much longer than the Riku I knew. I was getting annoyed. "Thank you," I nod. I should at least go with Rachel's idea first.
"Oh, here, don't forget the reward money." The cop handed me a small back.
"How much munny is it? I didn't do it for the munny," I told him. I grinned.
"I don't believe ya kid, everyone does nice things for munny," he said.
I shook my head. "I don't, I seriously just found and felt like I should help."
"Well, it's about five hundred munny," the cop said.
"Oh, okay, thank you," I smile and nod. I walk away.
Okay so I was fifteen years old and I had enough munny to eat for a long while. Now I had to find this place Rachel talked about.
