Why them?

Chapter I
Moonfire and Azarin
He stared at the figure before him. He knew she couldn't be from earth. Her hair was long, and was a peculiar color. It was a light blue, with a clearish look to it, and it was sparkly, as if it had glitter in it. She was manacled to the cold, dark, cement wall, same as he was. She was unconscious, and unmoving. Her clothes were blue, although darker than her hair. She wore a skirt with silver lining, like her knee high boots, and her shirt. She had a small bracelet on her right wrist, which was blue and silver, like her clothes. He recognized this style from somewhere, but he wasn't sure where. She looked about the same age as him.
She shivered, which was the first time he had seen her moving for the whole time they were in the cement…was it a basement? He wasn't sure where they were. He had also been unconscious when they had captured him, but why did they? Actually, he wasn't sure if it was a they. He didn't know much of his predicament. She began pushing herself up, obviously awake. She looked up at him. He now noticed her eyes were bright blue, about the same color as her clothes. She looked at him nervously.
She spoke. "Please, tell me, who are you? Where are we? What's going on?" She looked at him, now confused. She noticed he had manacles too. She looked at her own, on her left leg. She grabbed the chain in her hands. She closed her eyes and said mumbled something, though he couldn't hear what it was. Her hands gave off a slight blue glow, which was slowly getting brighter. The chains melted in her hands, and when they were gone she turned back to him. He gaped at the melted chains behind her. She gestured to his chains. "Would you perhaps like some help?" She asked him.
He shook his head. "No, these are hardly even worth my time." he said. He was slightly worried it wouldn't work, because he was angry and confused, but he hoped it would. He picked up his chains. He held them out, and he tried to concentrate. They turned black and ripped apart. The girl seemed impressed by his odd power, as he was by hers. When he turned back to her, she looked at him closely. He had grayish skin, and dark blue eyes. He wore a black cape with a hood, and had a small black diamond on his head. Underneath his cape, he wore dark blue jeans and a navy blue tee shirt. These clothes looked strange to her, as she had never been to earth before. She shrugged. She figured her clothes looked odd to him too.
She looked around and repeated her earlier question. "Do you know were we are?" she asked, politely. She hoped he knew. After all, he had been awake before her, and for all she knew, he could have been awake when he had been brought here.
"I don't know." he said. "I was attacked and I passed out defending myself." He stared at her. He wondered where she was from and how she got the powers she had. He decided he'd better ask now than later. "Where are you from?"
She looked surprised. "I do not inhabit this large rock that is called Earth. I traveled here from my home planet, or, I suppose it is just a moon. It is called Zerix IV." She looked at him. "Are you from the place I am at now?"
He realized she talked differently, and he figured it was because were she was from. He shook his head. "Nope. I am from a place called Azarath." He didn't know what else to tell her. She nodded. "What is your name?" he asked, when he remembered he didn't know.
"I am known as Moonfire, of Zerix IV. I do not know of your name, either. What might it be?" He thought her name sounded cool. It had a nice ring to it.
"My name is Azarin." She liked his name too. She repeated the new name, testing if she could say it correctly. She did. He didn't really like his own name, but it sounded cool when she said it. He smiled at her. "Nice name." he said to her. He then bit his lip, as he figured how he must sound so dumb to her.
She smiled back. "Thank you, but yours is much better. It reminds me of rondizoms." He blinked and stared at her. He had no idea what a rondizom was. He was about to ask, but there was a large smash and a tall man walked in the room after busting a large hole in the wall. Moonfire jumped up. "Who are you?" she inquired. The man laughed. He was wearing a metal looking mask; it was red and black with a white jagged line in the middle. He continued to laugh; it was almost the most evil laugh she had ever heard. He ran toward them, and they backed off in surprise. They were backed up into a corner, where their chains were. "Hang on!" Moonfire yelled to him, though also herself. She started a slow, incoherent chanting, and a blue transparent wall grew from thin air, separating Moonfire and Azarin from the man. She couldn't think of what to do next, and her wall wouldn't hold for long. She needed help badly. "This won't hold for a very long time." She whispered to Azarin, so the man wouldn't hear.
She stood there, with the pain of holding up the wall was enveloping her. She let out very quiet whimpers, afraid of letting the man know it was hurting her. It felt like she was being ripped apart. She couldn't hold on much longer. She knew she might pass out because of exertion soon, as she had many times at her home. She needed to hold on for a little bit longer, yet the pressure on her from the effort of the wall was hard to compete with. She felt herself slowly losing power, and she was sure her wall was going to dissolve soon. She needed to keep going, but she never was the best with her powers. She knew she only had a few seconds left with her wall. She was still wondering when she heard a large crash behind her…
A/N: Sorry for the cliffy! I hate them too! I swear! It's just that I don't want my chappies to be so long that no one will read them, like my other stories. But no worries, I write a lot and I should post quickly! Again, sorry for the cliffys! Oh, and, Please review, even if with constructive criticism!
