Otherworld: The Beginning
Chapter 5
~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~
Lia ran hurriedly down one alley way after the next, dodging left and right to avoid numerous towers of crates. She couldn't think why, but her legs seemed to take on a mind of their own. She moved down the alleys like she knew where she was going, she kept running. The path she was currently on took a sharp left, her shoulder nearly grazing the red brick walls that surrounded her.
The alley broke into an open court of some kind, nothing decorating the barren place except for a lone lamppost to the north of her. Lia guessed she had finally gotten the feeling back into her legs as she sank to the paved ground below her. The ground radiated cold and felt good on Lia's overheated body. Her shield should have restricted her breathing, but she didn't notice all that mattered was getting away from her captors.
"You should have ran from them long ago..." said a voice that seemed to come from the air around her.
Lia pulled herself quickly from the ground and looked around quickly as she swung her arm around her head to pull her sword out and take up a fighting stance. Nothing was there, only the ever-present darkness in this crazed town. Her sword crept down to her side and Lia turned around, this was pointless it was probably only her imagination.
She started to walk away until a cold hand clamped about her shoulder. Lia froze on the spot and turned her head slightly; a robed figure stood behind her, she couldn't see anything past the hood only more darkness.
"Why you stayed with them is a mystery, considering they're the ones that hurt you." the voice was silk in Lia's ears, an elusive memory played in her mind about this stranger but she couldn't quite grasp it. "Do you know why they attacked me?" she asked the cloaked figure, her mind in a daze. "Because they wanted to kill you for being here." the voice whispered. Lia gasped and turned around fully to the figure, her sword dangled uselessly at her side.
Lia's breathing became labored and her heart pounded in her ears blocking out almost all sound. A sharp crack filled the sky followed by the crash of lightning as it began to pour.
~*~
Sora swerved out of the way of a mountain of boxes and continued to run down the alleyway, the rest of his company not far behind, 'Where could she have gone?' Sora stopped and the ground shook as thunder rumbled in the sky. Goofy covered his sensitive ears and Leon groaned as the rain beat down on them, "Where is she?!" he yelled franticly. Sora shook his soaked head and took off running again.
~*~
Lia stood still with fright as the dark figure circled her as if she were a priceless trophy to behold. The figure stopped in its original position infront of her and Lia imagined he, no it took on a thoughtful expression, "You seem pretty scrawny for a so called savior..." it said off- handedly. Lia could almost feel the look of amusement as she raised one of her eyebrows and slightly mouthed the words spoken to her.
'Savior? What the hell is that supposed to mean? And what does it mean by scrawny!'
Lia's shoulder length black hair clung heavily to her face and neck, the pouring rain thoroughly soaking her to the bone. She shivered slightly and averted her gaze upward to the sky, still feeling the burning gaze of the stranger and the warning in the back of her mind.
"No matter... You'll still have to be dealt with." he laughed dryly. Lia's head snapped forward to stare angrily at the cloaked figure, "Be dealt with? You mean kill me?!". The figure laughed again making Lia angrier than the time Cirus showed Lia's crush a note confirming her admiration for him. Her hand tightened around the hilt of her sword with her left hand and took her shield up with her right, throwing the rest of her equipment onto the wet ground.
"That's it chuckles, your going down."
With that, Lia lunged for the figure with her sword flying. The figures cloaked hand went up and he muttered a few incoherent words and red flames shot from his hands. Lia quickly blocked with her shield nearly being flung backwards with the sheer force of the blow. She flung off the rest of the dying flames and lunged for him again to catch him square in the chest, the cowled stranger letting off a loud cry of pain.
~*~
Sora slid more than ran down the rain slicked alleys, Goofy and Donald slipping often while Leon ran with sure-footed steps. Sora heard a scream of agony and he ran faster, Leon two had quickened his pace while Donald and Goofy slidded a bit more as they kicked their jog up a notch or two.
Leon and Sora neck to neck stopped at the entrance of a hidden courtyard with two very wet persons were poised, the girl they had been chasing had a sword of some kind shoved into the middle of the chest of a dark figure Sora immediately recognized. Leon gaze a startled gasp and both drew their weapons.
~*~
The two Lia had been so lucky to have ran into in the first place drew their weapons and looked anxiously at both her and her victim. She quickly pulled her sword out noticing no blood of any shape or form dripping from the gaping hole left by her sword.
"Oh, that's not a good thing is it?" Lia said nervously with an open mouth.
Sora and Leon gave loud gulps and skidded to a halt about a meter away from Lia. "Are you okay? We heard a yell, most likely coming from....that." he said pointing to the cringing figure.
Lia gave an annoyed 'humph' and ran to take a fighting stance next to Sora and Leon. "Ok,on the count of three, we jump the... 'it' and see who can destroy what first." she whispered quickly eyeing the howling figure. The two nodded and took their own stances: Sora crouched down with both hands gripping tightly at the hilt; Leon using one hand to point his sword steadily in the direction of the enemy and Lia clawing for a better grip on her wet shield and her sword glowing faintly in the darkness.
"One...", all three tensed for their battle.
"Two..."
"Thre....."
Lia could barely finish her countdown when two wet masses came hurling towards them. "LOOK OUT!" yelled Goofy franticly but it was too late. Goofy and Donald rammed into the trio knocking them all head first into the enemy, Lia took the opportunity and grasped at the dark shroud the attacker wore and pulled vigorously. She managed to look backwards to where the figure stood last but nothing was there.
~*~
Riku had been watching the scene in the hidden courtyard for sometime, through the rain and his now sopping wet clothes. It was quite hysterical he had to admit, watching her twirl and dance so as not to be hit by Maleficent's minion, but the way she did it made her seem as though she had been a master at that all her life. Not something a mere mortal could ever master.
He scratched his chin thoughtfully, 'Maybe there's something to this little mission after all...' he gave a smirk and jumped into the air and vanished, the only trace of his disappearance was a slight disturbance in the rainfall.
~*~
Sora groaned as he pulled himself from the brick wall on the opposite side of the courtyard. He rubbed ruefully at his stinging backside and lifted himself slowly from the drenched ground and wiped his clothes down. All of the other members of the fly-by crash did the same,each giving his or her own wail of despair as sore limbs shifted into ever more uncomfortable positions.
"For crud's sake, you could have at least given us 10 more seconds before ya'll decided to run us over..." she groaned to the group. Donald walked about in a dazed state for a moment until he tripped over one of Goofy's immense legs waking him up thoroughly. "Watch where your going Goofy!" he yelled from the stone ground below them. Goofy shook his head and mumbled 'sorry' and pulled both Donald and Leon up straight and helped to clean them off.
Lia picked up her belongings and wiped them off as best as she could manage with her hands before putting them back into their correct places on her back, the weight giving off a delightful feeling on her aching back.
Sora, the only one fully recovered thus far quickly tossed a potion to Leon then Goofy and Donald and walked over to his newest acquaintance. He didn't know why but she just kept on popping into his head, it might be the guilt he felt for attacking her but he knew it wasn't love, at least not on the same level of love he had for Kairi, but something about her drew him to her. Whatever the reason, he was going to find out her name.
"Those four must be the most sorriest people I know!" Lia grumbled, 'Or met...' she added. Lia bounced up and down experimentally to make sure she could withstand walking, or running for that matter. A little more than two feet behind her, Sora crept his way slowly and put out his hand to rest on her shoulder. Lia gave a startled yelp and turned with her hand out to slap who ever it was, she must have had good aim that night because she hit him square in the jaw with the palm of her hand.
Sora stumbled backwards holding his hand to his burning face, no one had ever slapped him before. Donald, Goofy and Leon looked up in anger as their best friend was slapped and glared at the startled girl infront of him. Tears stung Sora's eyes and he fought to keep them from falling, the girl gave a 'oh no' that was muffled by the hand she slapped him with and she put a hand on his shoulder, "Are you alright, I'm sorry but you really startled me their." Sora nodded and dropped his hand, "Um, this might be a bit awkward but...what's your name?" Lia stopped for a moment and took a deep breath, "My name is Lia.".
Sora nodded slowly, "And my name is..." before he could finish Lia blurted out "I know, Sora." He gave a shocked smile and nodded again. All the while, Leon, Goofy and Donald got up and stood behind Sora each giving off their names.
'Well, at least we know each other...' was the only thing Lia could think of then.
~*~
Sora showed Lia the many faces he knew in Traverse Town and told her alot about Destiny Island, Riku, Kairi and the Heartless. Slowly Lia began to understand the small darkness soldiers and their supposed leader, Maleficent.
He even got the time to show her Cid, whom seemed to enjoy Lia's sarcastic attitude more and more each time he saw her. He taught her some of the moves he knew which she soaked up quite quickly and Donald tried to teach her to use her staff, which origins he couldn't figure. Nonetheless she learned the weaker spells and at some point even surpassed the 'great' Donald, after which fondly referring to him as the 'Almighty Ducky One' .
Lia soon grew to like Traverse Town and it's many hidden passages and she soon came upon Merlin and his humble abode. There in secret she practiced her magics more and more.
Aeris got Lia her own room in which to live in, which Lia ultimately did. Lia decorated the plain white room with reds, blues, yellows and grays. The walls were covered in a royal blue with a lighter shade of blue making elaborate spades going up the length of the wall with a band of wood that went around the perimeter of the room. Shimmering red and yellow curtains hung from the two four paned windows both with window seats with blue and silver pillows adding a dark splash of color to the red felt coverings. She had her own writing desk with beautiful carvings of foreign fishes and waves carved into the sides, the handles made of a brass looking metal that was made to look like crashing waves. Three small chairs in the room, one at the desk and two in the corners, each with the same red felt and elaborate carvings as the desk. Her four poster bed held the same carvings only with blue and silver sheets with two nightstand again with the same carvings upon them.
Lia decorated her room with various knick-knacks from different 'worlds' as Sora put them. Secretly she put different weapons in her closet, more favorable weapons included a composite longbow with plumed arrows, a guisarme, a couple of spiked gauntlets, a sling with bullets, a bright silver scimitar, a two-handed broad sword and bastard sword, along with some curios looking vials and pouches. Even after Aeris's complaint about curious looking holes in some of the clothes in Lia's closet, but sooner or later she let it be. On more than one occasion Lia flat out refused to come out saying she was 'mulling over her current situation' which earned her room the honor of being called 'The Cave'.
~*~
"Hey Lia! It's time for breakfast!" Sora yelled into her closed door. Lia awoke with a jolt, shaking off the last remnants of sleep from her body she jumped out of her bed, quickly running into her closet to change into and pair of short blue jeans and a shirt two times her size with a dragon crawling along the sides.
Lia ran down the covered hallway and slid into a large dining room and took a seat on one of the eight chairs present. About ten minutes later, Leon, Goofy and Donald stalked into the room with sleepy faces and took seats around the table still yawning. Suddenly, Yuffie, Aeris and Sora strutted out of the kitchen carrying plates of sausages, pancakes and waffles and set them in the middle of the table and retreated back into the kitchen. The parade of food continued until jams of different assortments were available, butter, creme, three kinds of coffee, tea, syrups of different kinds and anchovies were spread across the table.
Yuffie, Aeris and Sora then plopped themselves down in their own chairs and filled their plates like the rest of the group. Though she had seen it many times before, it still disgusted her as Donald flopped six anchovies onto his syrup drenched waffle and stuffed his face with a satisfied grunt. Lia's lower lip trembled as she fought to keep the contents of her stomach were their supposed to be and not on her lap and plate.
Lia opened her eyes wider and stared as she put three pancakes, a waffle and four sausages on her plate. She pulled a coffee cup close to her and poured some coffee into her cup, dumped some creme in and what Yuffie had described to her as ' The Queen of Hearts brand Sugar Syrup' into her coffee, stirred and drank deeply.
After all of the plates were thoroughly cleaned off and pushed aside, Sora cleared his throat " So are we going back to Wonderland today or what?" Everyone became silent and Donald slowly nodded. Lia looked questionlingly at Sora and then to Donald. Suddenly Aeris asked politely whose turn it was for dishes and three out of seven pointed to Lia while Leon pretended to cough, fitting in what sounded like 'Lia' into it.
Everyone scuttled out of the dining room leaving soiled plates behind and a dumbfounded Lia, 'What the hell is Wonderland?'
A/N: I KNOW, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T ADD WONDERLAND OR CHINA! I promise to add it next chapter but was a little late with this one so I decided 'Just screw it' and stopped.
