Chapter One
Nova ran a hand over the red cotton sheets on her bed. She sat cross legged on the edge of the bed staring at her hands.
Her black curtains blew out and then floated back down before being blown back out again. They made a slight fluttering sound, some what soothing, yet distracting at the same time.
The moon light crept across the dark tile flooring disappearing whenever the curtains returned.
The bed let out a squeak as Nova rose from it and slipped her white boots onto her chilled feet. The moon light reflected off her blood red eyes. She turned the door knob which emitted a creek before the latch slicked and the door opened. It creaked as she opened it enough to slip her small frame out of her room and into the dark and empty halls.
As Nova walked the halls alone she thought about just how alone she was. Without Hikaru she had no friends. No one at the castle had come to except her. Lantis would never in a million years forgive her. Nor could she ask that he does any such thing.
With Hikaru back on Earth though Nova came back. Nova was part of Cephiro she was born from emotions created in Cephiro and for some reason was unable to go with Hikaru.
Tears threatened to spill from Nova's usually very alive eyes. She wanted a family. Somewhere, where she belonged.
She herself thought that she had been wondering aimlessly throughout the halls, but she soon came to Lantis' room.
"Lantis," she whispered.
She gently placed a hand on the door frame. His door was open slightly and the room lit only be the blue light of the moon.
Lantis' heart belonged to Hikaru. But Nova 'was' part of Hikaru.... The part of Hikaru that Lantis would never forgive.
Nova now wanted Hikaru's friendship more than ever. She had been in the castle for a while now, and noticed the friendships and how important they were. She wanted one too.
"How come everyone seems to think I enjoy being alone? Why did Hikaru have to leave me here?" Nova said out loud.
Nova then silently started to cry. What was life without people who cared for you? The answer is nothing and lonely.
Though Nova couldn't blame Hikaru if she hated her still for what she had done. . . All the horrid things... Hikaru had forgiver herself for killing Emeraude, but hd she forgive Nova for all she had done?
Nova herself couldn't forgive. No way Hikaru would either.
Her tears made a soft drip drop sound as they one by one hit the shiny flooring.
"I wish I was on earth with Hikaru." Nova whispered.
She wished with all her being to be on earth, and something granted her that wish.
Nova felt like she was falling, falling through nothing and yet she had no control of her body. Suddenly she hit the ground with a loud thud.
"Where am I?" She grumbled as she rubbed her now sore back side.
She looked around, she really couldn't see much because it was rather dark. She squinted hoping to see more than just her hands in the darkness. As her eyes adjusted to the dark, she realized an animal was racing towards her at full speed.
"Ahhh!" She screamed as she tried in vain to scramble to her feet.
Her legs wouldn't budge and the animal leapt onto her.... And began licking her face.
"Ewww," Nova said as she tried to push the dog off her.
"What is it Hikari?" A familiar girl's voice called out.
Nova's eyes lit up, even in the darkness. She scrambled to her feet this time making it, and she threw herself into the girl's arms.
"Hikaru!" Nova half cried, half sobbed into the girl's arms.
