Sitting by the fireplace in Jack's room.
He was sitting in the velvet,red electric chair, planning for the next Halloween. And Sora would often get up and perform for him. Little songs, little dances across his room. Simple movements of dance that made him laugh like a monkey and get a new idea for the horrifying day. He wrote frantically like a game of cat and mouse.
She leaned on his left leg like a small kitten sleeping by its owner's foot. At some points she'd close her eyes and daydream for a few moments. It was at least twelve in the morning by the time Jack decided to call it quits. He stifled a yawn, as Sora's vision became a bit blurry at first. Then fell to total darkness.The worst part was, she was in his bed.Jack didn't even notice her, as he climbed into his cloud like bed. The silky covers over him. It just gave him a good feeling. Something like, that everything was going to be ok.
The next morning,however, it was all different.
The Pumpkin Sun gradually rose from the depths of nighttime. Its colors dazzled the darkened sky, as if it were a palette. With different shades of paint splashed all over the ways of its form and graceful touch. The jack - o - lantern face didn't reveal its awkward grin, as all the town seemed too still for any action. But when it did, it lit up the heavens. Glowing and grinning, like a ghostly tombstone.
" Good morning Sora..."
" Hm? Oh, good morning Jack..."
" Sora?"
" Jack?"
They sat up in an alarmed alert feel as they stared at each other. Soon the entire town was up due to the screaming citizens in the tower.
But however, all days weren't Mr.Sunshine, and cakes. It began to rain around noon, as Sora was nowhere to be found. But Jack, being the precaution - like person decided to go up to his room, and get his cloak. I mean hey, who wants to walk in the rain, and get sick? However, he heard something coming from it. When he opened his door, he was surprised to find Sora.
In tears.
" Sora! What's wrong?"
She didn't say a thing to him, but he saw her locket. Inside it was her family. It was her father Poseidon, his wife Symphony, and her brother Triton. All together they were around a little baby with a patch of fire engine red hair, that was Sora. Jack knew after that all of her family, relatives died in the Triopocia Wars. So, she was sent to be raised by Hera. She was quite the spiteful bitch, yet she was nicer to Sora, than anyone else. The whole sappy sad part was, Sora never knew anyone in her family. She was told when she was only seven that she was adopted. At first she ignored it, but now that she was twelve it hit her hard. Just the word adoption ripped her apart.
Jack came over to her, and brought her into a hug. He embraced her as if she was his daughter and she was just dumped from a jerk of a boyfriend. Only this was worse.
"Yeah I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me
Sora I know you never knew your mom or your dad
But my little princess, I wish I can give you the life that you never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your view, deep inside you want to cry
I know you're all those things cause you never knew anyone
Your dad's with you in your heart and your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
You know I'm here and always will be saving you from nightmares
We will get through this thing you and I
Hey baby, please I love you just don't cry
Yeah but you know everyone else cares bout you like a family
We all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Just you only a girl
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
I always got the plans and I know your dad fought and never came back
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
The easiest way is to think about it and not in dreams
All the things growing up your dad was forced to see
But as much as your dad doesn't want you to see them neither do I
Sometimes like you, I just want to cry
But things are all tangled up in such a wreck
Even my plans are even a pain in my neck
Its hard for you, I know it is
I wish I could help
Just help you get through life's difficult ways
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, as I told ya
I'll be here for you all the time
Your life's harder than I thought and I know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I just know it'll be alright
It's funny I remember back one year when you came here
And at first you were an outcast
Just living as if you never existed at all
Cause I saw you bythe graves
I'll never forget those days cause I thought you were dying
Cause you see baby, I wasn't sure what to do
But I guess in the end it pulled through
And I know that you were jus there for me
Even though we didn't know each other then
But I guess you and I were meant to be and as far as I can see I tried to talk to you but I kept getting distracted
Like from the Mayor, Sally, Zero, and all of them
And I know it hurt you so bad it made you cry
And I know so cause I'd hear you cry in the graveyard every night
And then I lost control one day and you know why
It was cause of you, I wanted to help you so bad
But in the end I was always screwed
And then that's when I helped you escape Oogie Boogie when he tried doin' you
Ever since then I knew we were to be
But since you didn't want to go I began to see
See something that I know can repair your heart
And you and I we would understand
I know that there's something
I can't explain but baby I know you've never felt it and its called love
I'm just sorry you had to experience your life without it
Cause all I know you want is a friend like me
Now I'm gonna tell you this baby, the truth is such
I love you so much I don't want you to die
And if you did, I'd be joining you because I love you so much
Wow, I guess that's not all of it yet I wish I can tell you the rest
But Sora, I can't cause I know you don't want to hear me
Is that it? Tell me please
I know it isn't cause Sally told me
I'm sorry, but yes I know its the truth
And if you ask me too
I'll buy you a little glass heart
I'll give you the town
I'll get you a ruby ring
Also sing for you
I'll do anything just to see your little smile
And if the heart breaks and that ring doesn't shine
I'll help you fix it up
I'll go to the jeweler who gave you the ring
And take everything in that very place ( of course)"-
" J - Jack...I - I dunno wha- what t- to say..."
" Just wipe your tears and it'll be alright."
The glimmer of his heartfelt eye sockets tore into her heart. But somehow she knew that being a teen wasn't going to be as bad as she believed.
But she was still persistent to know, what the hell was a period?
