Amara&Seiya
I thought they left forever but I was wrong....
It was dark, very dark, I was walking, even though I couldn't see anything. It was cold... felt like a basement. After a while I heard something behind me, so I stopped and waited for it to come. The thing wasn't walking anymore; it started to run. Silence. The room lit up in an instant. I turned around and whatever was behind me disappeared. Then....
"Amara, wake up!" Michelle called from the other room.
"Leave her alone! I wonder why she can't sleep!" Another voice came from the room.
"It's almost noon!"
"I would still be asleep, but you won't let me!"
"Aren't you supposed to be somewhere?"
"I think I will leave. Bye."
"Why are you going there anyway?"
"Let's see... They aren't insane."
"What about your cat?"
"She doesn't hate you; you just scare her."
"What?"
"Bye."
"Wait..."
"Where's she going?" I sat down.
"A friend's house."
"Who lives the closest to us?"
"Well, someone moved in not so far away from us."
"Do we know them?"
"Kinda."
"What does that mean?"
"That means we know them and we don't get along with them."
"Who?"
"The football player, the smart one, and the short one."
"You're joking."
"No."
"How far?"
"Not far."
"Do they know where we are?"
"They will today."
"Why?"
"Think."
"That's not good."
Sunday, December 6th, 11:30AM, The Three Lights house.
The doorbell rang and Yaten ran to answer it. He opened the door then rushed away screaming. Seiya and Taiki dragged Yaten to the door, not noticing the person standing there.
"What's your problem? Now I know why nobody visited us yet." Seiya pulled Yaten off the floor. "Who could possibly scare you?"
"Why don't you look?"
"It's not like..." Taiki saw who was standing at the door. "I'll be back." He sprinted out of the room like Yaten had.
"What's the big problem!?" Seiya finally spotted the person standing at the door. "Oh, no."
"See what I was talking about?" Yaten followed Taiki's example.
"It couldn't be. You're my height and you dress way different."
"Oh, come on. It's not like you haven't seen a girl before." A girl with a hat on backwards, a gray shirt and navy blue pants, smiled at Seiya. "Hey, you're cute."
"You aren't her. Amara never smiles."
"Correction. She never smiles around you."
"How would you know?"
"Besides the fact that I live with her, she's my sister."
"Amara doesn't have a sister. I should know."
"She didn't know that either, until I came."
"Why are you here?"
"I heard you played football."
"You want to play football with me?"
"Sure."
"Does Amara know you're...." Seiya froze.
"She's here, right?"
"Yeah."
"Don't worry."
"Do you know how she gets when I'm talking to someone she knows?"
"Yeah. The trick is not to run away when she comes."
"I wonder why she always beats me up."
"Really?"
"And it's not funny."
"Okay, it isn't."
"I thought people invited you in, not kept you outside, right, Kat?" Michelle stood behind Kat.
"Did you have to come!?" Kat whined.
"There needs to be someone to hold Amara back."
"From you."
"Not really."
"If you don't keep quiet, I'll have to hold her back."
"What are you talking about?" I questioned the two.
"Nothing." Kat threw her football at Michelle. "I'm sorry, did that hurt?"
Seiya laughed a little under his breath. Kat, who was in front of Seiya, dodged the football when Michelle threw it back. Seiya ducked and the football hit Yaten.
"Nice one." Kat dodged the punch thrown at her.
"You guys can go. We can handle Yaten." Seiya turned to leave. "If you want to, you can come in."
Kat took a step forward then stopped. She jumped back and ran in. I reached in my pocket and it was empty. Kat laughed, sitting down on their couch, with the keys in her hand.
"Real funny," I whispered entering the house.
"I thought you would find out." Kat disappeared from her spot.
"Where?"
I kept walking, not paying attention to what was on the ground. Still going, not noticing Kat's feet laying there, I tripped over Kat, but someone caught me. I opened my eyes to see Seiya closer than usual.
"What?" I jumped back.
"Chill. I rather see you than see you on the floor."
"What happened?" Kat stared at Seiya. "Did I miss anything important?"
"Not really."
"Okay."
7:00PM, Amara and Kat's house.
"That's what happened?" Kat, hanging upside-down, quizzed Michelle.
"I'm not lying."
"I guess that wasn't a dream."
"What are you doing?"
"Watching TV."
"Upside-down?"
"Sure."
"That's weird."
"Where's Amara?"
"She just left for a walk."
"Oh, yeah."
7:05PM, The Three Lights house.
"I know who you like," Taiki teased Seiya.
"Aren't you smart? If you are, say something the opposite of what you just said."
"Come on, I know you like Amara's sister."
"No, I don't. I'd die if I did."
"What would happen if you like Amara?"
"Is this a trick question?"
"No."
"When I tell her that, she'll kill me."
"When?"
"You know what I mean."
"No, I don't."
"I'm going for a walk."
"Why?"
"Because you've lost your mind!"
7:20PM, The Park.
Seiya observed the area around him.
"No one. That's great." He strolled into the park. "Finally some peace."
He kept going the same pace to watch the park move slowly. "The wind makes the park dance."
"Doesn't it?" A voice asked him.
"Yeah, it's..."
"What?"
The two started at each other.
"Amara?" Seiya didn't move.
"What are you doing out here?"
"My brothers were bothering me."
"You like Kat, don't you?"
"I kinda like someone else."
"Who?"
"Someone who doesn't notice me."
"Do I know her?"
"You know her very well."
"Serena?"
"No."
"Raye?"
"No."
"Lita?"
"No."
"Trista?"
"No."
"Michelle?"
"No way!"
"I give up."
"I would too." Seiya started to walk away.
I thought about it. "Wait!"
"What?"
"Nothing. Never mind."
"See ya tomorrow."
9:00PM, Amara and Kat's house.
I couldn't sleep, I was thinking of what Seiya told me. Staring at the ceiling for about a hour, if I closed my eyes, I'd see him. Then I remembered what I was going to do before.
"This isn't good."
9:10PM, The Three Lights house.
Seiya had the same problems; he talked to himself.
"I've got to get some sleep." He was interrupted by the doorbell. "Am I dreaming? Please let it be a dream."
He slowly got down the stairs to answer the door. He grabbed a baseball bat leaning by the door. He counted to himself then threw the door open and swung the bat.
"Whoa. I don't want to fight." I held the other end of the bat.
"Amara? What are you doing here?"
"There's a new enemy."
"How do you know?"
"A dream told me."
"That's impossible."
"I don't have time argue, plus dreams do come true and this one was pretty real."
"Did you see what it looked like?"
"No. Michelle woke me up before I could."
" I should of known. Now what are we going to do?"
"We wait for it."
"We do?"
"It won't come if we search for it."
"Okay. How will we know when we see it?"
"...."
"Amara?"
"...."
"She's asleep. I don't want to wake her." Seiya tried to get up. "She fell asleep on my arm. This isn't good."
I thought they left forever but I was wrong....
It was dark, very dark, I was walking, even though I couldn't see anything. It was cold... felt like a basement. After a while I heard something behind me, so I stopped and waited for it to come.
