Haru finally had pockets full of fruit.
"Oh Elie!" Haru called. "Where could she have gone?" Haru thought for a moment. "If I were Elie, where would I go? Hmm…to take a bath! Of course, Elie loves to take baths, I bet there's a pond or something on this island and she went there without telling me because her voice wasn't strong enough…or she was too tired…or for whatever reason, Elie can take care of herself." Haru looked to the sky. "Right?"
Elie had awoken 3 hours later, it was about 6:30 and the sun was setting beautifully. Elie looked around, she was in a house…but it was so high she could see all the trees, how could this be possible?
"Oh…." Elie groaned, holding her head in pain.
"You don't look injured." A beautiful girl with big hazel eyes, wavy light brown hair with streaks of gold and pure white teeth.
"Wow…." Elie said dreamily. "I must be in heaven."
"Hmph. No, you're still on the same tropical island, name?"
"Elie."
"Good, that should mean your memory isn't completely lost. Man, you looked so knocked out back there; it was like someone came with a tree and knocked you in the head."
"Well,
actually, my memory almost is completely lost…." Elie grabbed her
knees and pulled them to her chest as she explained the entire story,
all the way from being confused in a destroyed deserted land with no
memory to hearing screams and then becoming unconscious.
The girl
showed thought. "I can't be sure to believe you."
"I'm sorry, what's your name?"
"The name's Kai" Kai said.
"You're very beautiful, your name is too, it matches you well." Elie remarked. "Huh! Hey, where are my tonfa blasters!" Elie demanded.
"Oh sure I'm going to bring in an armed unknown person into my house , yeah right. I won't give them to you until I can trust you." Aura turned to leave. "And the earliest I learned to trust was in 3 years."
"Where are you going?"
"To my home."
"But I thought this tree house is your home."
"I said this was my house, not my home." After that she answered no more questions but kept on climbing down the tree, then jumped when she was close enough to the ground.
Elie spotted a bowl of fruit next to her. "Haru will find me and he'll get my tonfa blasters back." Elie started to eat.
Musica was leaning against a tree, wondering where else he should search. So far he had searched the whole island they had landed on and gotten 5 baskets of food though he still wanted to find the angel so he swam across to the other island, leaving the food close to the ship.
He heard a hiss…probably his stomach, Musica ignored it.
Musica closed his eyes in thought; he was so tired from gathering food and looking for an angel all day. Musica felt a sharp pain in his wrist, when he opened his eye, a snake had bitten him!
Musica screamed in the immense pain, he couldn't stand it, the snake finally let go and Musica's head began to hurt like crazy, he wanted to sleep, that would make everything better…a miracle happened and he saw the angels wings, and an angel connected to them, Musica gasped for air and in shock. In 10 seconds the angel was gone, because of the snake bite his eye vision had gotten blurry and he regretted not looking more closely at the angel when he had the chance, the pain started to go away, his eye sight started to come back and his head started to cease in pain, instead it felt numb, so did the rest of his body. He fell into a deep, deep sleep.
Haru slowly climbed back up the tree, there was a better chance of seeing Elie up there than groping around for her below. Haru finally got to the top. "ELIE! ELIE!" Haru was so worried about Elie, she could've climbed a tree and fallen, or run into a carnivorous animal, or….Now he was frantic, crying and all. "ELIE!" He was so frantic he didn't watch his step and started to fall off the branch he was on and what he thought were his last words he shouted; "ELIE!"
Haru saw angel wings and gasped, before he knew it he was on the ground, uninjured and confused.
Musica awoke, rubbing his head. The angel had healed him in 10 seconds flat. It was powerful and beautiful.
Musica then heard the sound of rushing water, he went towards it, and he came to the waterfall and stopped a few yards away when he saw a beautiful girl with wavy light brown with gold streaks of hair, big hazel eyes and long eyelashes.
Musica was in awe, she was so graceful in the water…the girl swam and twirled like she was dancing, it was so beautiful…. Then the water started to rise around her like a shield, then it would cease, the water, coiled around her body like a snake, it was beautiful and magical, Musica was soothed.
"You're the angel." Musica whispered, he just knew it.
The girl had heard him and stopped dancing; she sprouted beautiful feathered wings from her back and flew into a cave behind the waterfall.
Musica came in the cave from behind which took him a while, but finally he reached the girl, he was only a bit injured from climbing the rocks that led to the back of the cave, he broke through with his silver and walked to the girl, once again he was only a few feet away from her.
The girl noticed him and turned rapidly.
They stood in silence, and then Musica kneeled in front of her. She just stared at him but flinched a bit.
"Who are you?" Musica asked wondrously.
"I'm Kai."
"What is a child like you doing on these deserted islands?"
Kai didn't answer, she just stared at him. "Who are you?"
"I'm Musica." He stood up. "You haven't answered my question."
Kai flew up to his face so she didn't feel intimidated and glared at him, straight in the eyes. "That's none of your business…." She hissed and backed away from his face. "So what brings you here?"
"My ship crashed so I'm searching for food while my gang's cleaning up the engines."
Kai raised her eyebrows. "Not doing such a good job, eh?"
"Don't get me wrong, I've been searching for food the entire day, but still, tell me more about yourself…." Musica sat down and Aura stared at him, glared, then sat down across from him.
"What do you want to know?"
"Well, let me get this straight; you're a 10-year-old girl living on a deserted island…for an unknown reason….?"
"I'm 12. Though, that's pretty much it."
"Huh." Musica grunted and grinned. This girl wasn't trusting easily, anyone could tell, her body was tense and her eyes were still glaring. He was trying to force the truth out of her, maybe he could out of talking to her casually…. "Anyway…so, how long have you been living here?"
"That's none of your business either."
