once namine broke the seal there was a flash of white light that released.
images... only images of a man with a scar on his forehead, a black portal opening as he thrust his hand against the wall. on one end, a girl, that girl was her... being frightened ... being pushed
falling ... falling into d a r k n e s s...
more flashes ... neon lights, men with hooded cloaks ... a bright castle in the middle ... a man with silver hair and golden eyes..xemnas
" hello my dear, i'm xemnas , the leader of the organization. " xemnas stared at her with intense eyes almost as if he could see right through her. " organization? this isn't an exhibit is it? " he chuckled a bit. " you have a sence of humor do you girl? this makes my life a little easier. " he explained how it was created, what thier goals were.
" oh i see, so your goals are like mine... " she smiled happily, and thought that this is just what the state alchemists do also. he grinned. something about his grin made raine want to reconsider staying and just run out of there as fast as she can, but a part of it was really welcoming, ... she just hope that it was in a 'good way.'
" my men told me that you couldn't find your way arround and your looking for a place called central"
she nodded. " but first i have to stop by east city to see my brother, his name is roy mustang."
xemnas thought for a second. " mustang?... never heared of him, but i'll see what i can find about central and east city is that fine with you? "
she nodded. " thank you xemnas sir. "
" just one more thing... i need some time so, do you mind staying a little whle longer? "
she shook her head. anything was better than staying by herself. if it wasn't for those people who found her, she would still be running arround in circles. " alright, i'll arrange some things... wait here. " he said as he patted her head. " don't worry were all the same here..." she blinked. this guy was confusing, all the same?
she waited for a long while. and thought about her brother. her friend while in her travels told her to be careful of a serial killer murdering young women arround the parts of central. it made her nervous to actually get there knowing that a killer is on the loose.
those thoughts left her hanging for a while until xemnas came back with two others. she examined them, one was shorter than the other, they were both wearing the cloaks which made it hard for her to see thier faces. " i thought since you'll be staying that you might want to take a look arround. these guys are going to escort you anywhere you'd like to be. " she just smiled, in thanks.
they left the castle after that and began to wlak down the millions of steps to the city.
none of them said a word, silence was killing her, normally she would hear other kids outside screaming and playing tag from her window when she was even trying to sleep, but this silence was making her feel very unwelcomed here.
the one that was taller looked at her, eventhough she couldn't see his face at all she could feel it. " hey... "
he started to say. " ... hey yourself " she said awkwardly. " what's your name sweetheart? "
she raised an eyebrow ' sweetheart ' if there was anything that described her it was ' hazardous ' and sweet wasn't even close to that.
she blinked " it's rainelle "
he smirked even though i can't be seen. " cute. "
she stared " and yourself..."
" axel "
she smiled. " cool. "
maybe it wasn't that bad, besides being dragged into an unknown world with people having the same fashion trend and a guy who's twice her hieght trying to hit on her, everything was just dandy.
" where do you want to go? "
she sighed. " i dunno... suprise me "
he chuckled a bit. " you kids amuse me "
she glared at him " for your information i hate being called a kid, i'm thirteen officially a legal teenager, restricted video games, junk food and bad t.v, thank you! "
if there was anything in the world that she hates it's being called kid.
he smirked and took off his hood, his face was shaped perfectly to match his flaming red hair. it was lustrious an very spikey, his eyes were light green with a luminous glow burning in them.
" whoa! simmer down little lady... sorry to offend you "
" better be... " she glared and pouted.
she noticed his eyes on her again. " your so insensitive... " he pouted. " i'm not... i'm not..! i'm sensitive... i am"
she liked the way he was all flustered over that little comment, and she laughed.
they talked for a while until raine noticed that the other guy never said a word. she pointed to him " what's wrong with him? " axel just smiled. " well... he's not the talkative type. "
she couldn't believe what she's hearing.she then ran up to him, she bent forward with her arms behind her back and put on her sweetest smile. " hey! what's your name? " he didn't respond and continued to stand there. she could see him more closely now, he had long pale blonde bangs covering his eyes. seconds later he just walked passed he like nothing happened. she glared. " what's that about... " axel stood next to her. " don't let it get to ya... he's always like that, just give him some time. i'm sure he'll warm up to you "
she stared solemly. " yeah..."
they walked around for hours axel and raine just kept talking and sharing stories, enjoying eachothers company. they stopped by this store to get something to eat, and axel left to order it. that left only the other boy and raine alone.
she didn't feel comfortable now that axel had left them alone. it was really, quiet.
she kept telling herself that he's just not friendly, that he hates her, hates having to babysit her for these couple of days. but deep down she figured there had to be something else.
so she moved and sat next to him, she felt him tense as she did so. ' this guy sure is insecure... '
she thought. " hi there... mind telling me what's wrong? "
there was nothing. " you know if you don't say anything, i can't help you. "
still nothing.
she then felt like giving up, but her conscience got the better of her. " you listening?..."
he finally turned to her. " leave me alone. "
that's all that came out of his mouth.
she blinked, she looked conserned hearing the darkness in hids tone.
she then went infront of him and slid her hands onto his face. touching his creamy peach skin she could feel him tense again as she stared into his face.
then suddenly out of nowhere she moved her hands and pulled of his hood! ( clever me XD )
" hey? " he sharply cried. she noticed his hair, blonde, that flared in different directions and looked messy but really cool. his eyes on the other hand were different, they were azure like the calmness of seas but held sadness in them. she stared at him which had only been a few minutes, but to her felt like forever. he noticed that she was looking at him intensely and he flushed bright pink. " what was that for? " he said a little flustered at her actions.
she simply gave a sweet smile.she had to admit. he was deffinately really cute... okay... hottie alert!
she giggled at her thoughts ' silly school girl crush ... damn those hromones. '
" ha! you said something..." she said triumptly. he just blinked and stared at her. " she looked closely at him. " so why do you hide your face all the time? your not even half bad "
he blushed. " um... i " he shyed away.
" it's not that i don't want to talk to you i just- "
" afraid? "
he flushed. " no! of course not, i was just busy thinking "
she poked his cheek. " okay mr thinker why didn't answer me the first time? "
he paused. " i was busy looking ... "
" at the view? "
" you"
she flushed. " huh? at me what for? "
he just looked away not saying anything.
she shrugged. " well i'm rainelle"
" roxas. "
" huh? "
" ...my name "
she chuckled a bit...sounds right..
now were on a roll. she stuck out her hand to shake his. he thenheld onto her hand and played with her fingers
she looked at him wierdly ' your like my 5 year old cousin '
" your soft"
she looked to the side " and..."
" i bet that's how your personality is like "
he looked at her slightly " well, i'm not always like this, even the kids i used to hang out with gave my a title, ' hazardous to your health ' do not approach..."
roxas gave a small laugh. and smiled. this was the first time he smiled in front of anyone.
" hey.. you have a nice smile.." she then pinched him playfully on the cheek. " you should try smiling more often "
he blushed.
" i'm serious " he laughed. " that's the first time anyone has said that, thank you..."
she smiled at him. " your very welcome. "
very soon axel came back with the food, as the three of them continued to talk like old friends. it was getting rather late so they headed back to the castle.they went to the ball room, and xemnas announced her presence to the rest of the members.
" you serious... a girl.." said xaldin. as if he had never seen any before.
" what'd you think i was! " she darted.
" hey pretty girl why don't i show you arround? " - xigbar
" been there... don't you know it's considered pedifile to hit on girls that are WAY younger than you?"
" nah, wanna come to my place"
" you sound like a dirty old man"
this was getting pretty roudy.
" have you ever assulted anyone? "- saix
" have you"
" have you ever been in jail? "
" where is this comming from? "
" would you like to murder these boys? "- larxene
" it'd be an honor..."
" do you like potions? "-vexen
" sure"
"cause i do..." he said grinning widely. she rolled her eyes ' okay...'
" future plans? "- xemnas
" i'm training to be an alchemist... does that count? "
" whatever works for you"
" play cards? "- luxord
" ... is that all you do? "
she then went out to the balcony. while those other guys were playing cards and gambling with what's his face ... luxord.
the breeze felt nice, for some reason the sun never rises in this place which was kind of wierd, but it never really crossed her mind until now.
there was a sound of foot steps comming near. " so... your the new girl!... i was late, so i didn't reallt noticed you. "
she turned arround to see a dirty blonde boy with a very punk hairstyle, dressed the same way as the others.
" hey! " he waved and she waved back to him and smiled.
" my names demyx, what's yours? '
she took out her hand " rainelle..." instead of shaking her hand he kissed it, like a gentleman. ( awww... well all know demyx is a cute and gentle boy XD )
she smiled. " you must use that alot to pick up girls. " she laughed.
he grabbed her hand again. " no... just the cute ones. " he smirked. she laughed.
" if i didn't know better, i'd say your flirting with me... are you sure your alright? "
" i'm fine "
" good "
" ...and so are you. "
raine smacked her forehead.
roxas and axel caught this and felt like rolling on the floor bursting with laughter." that's my pick up line."
raine caught their attempt to hide themselves as soon as she saw them, and giggled.
' this is going to be a long while '
the next day axel didn't wake up from sleep yet so roxas and raine decided to go arround town by themselves.
the three grew closer and closer as time went by.it was only a couple of days, but there were things that linger in her mind constantly. things like the serial killer, roy and how worried he must be, what will happen once she went to central.
" hey raine? you never really told me how you got here..." roxas asked while they walked together.
" um, it's complicated"
" well just tell me what you feel like saying"
she nodded.
" this goes back further than i care to remember...but there was a town lomg ago far away from the rural areas. this town was called starlight canyon, where my mother, me and roy all lived. it was peaceful, there were barely any protection needed because of the eastern winds that blew there,the winds were strong and no foriegner can enter another place without consent.back then there was a disasterous famin and war that spread across the country.
i was told my father was killed during the war. my mother carried the hemophilia virus and soon fell victum to it.
that was when roy was left to care for me, all on his own at the age of ten. i bet you could imagine what it's like to be a ten year old with that much burrden to carry, it wasn't easy.
roy and i went to find the perfect alchemy teacher, thats when it all began.
" roy what are you doing?... you know those state alchemists are bad! "
raine about 6 years old chased after her brother, clining to his arm begging him to stay.roy was about to leave, and take the alchemy exam. the train was on it's last call for passengers to central.
" you know i don't have a choice... i'm doing this for us ... for you "
she cried. " no!... i don't need this... i don't need any of this ...all i need is you! "
she continued. " mom and dad are gone... i can't risk losing you too"
he shook off her arm " please try to understand.. i know you don't right now but later you will"
he looked at her for a minute to get his one last glimse of her. " being here is fine... but protecting you is better"
with that he got on the train and boarded. leaving raine falling to her knees crying.
" four years later he had become a state alchemist, during those years i stayed with his teacher until, later i was send to urtricil, an alchemy training academy for women. i met three girls there and devoted ourselves as sisters.i graduated from that academy and recived a letter from the fuher king bradley to take the exam at central. after i left roy send me a message to visit him in eastcity, i did so and left right away that was how i got here..."
roxas scratched his head. " well it still doesn't really describe how you ended up here. "
she blinked. " what's wrong with being here? "
" do you not know that your a no- ? "
she stared. " what? "
he shook his head " nevermind "
she glared playfully. " you don't want me here? "
he studdered, " um.. it's not like that!... really it isn't "
she laughed ' whatever you say roxas '
she stared at the sky it was the color of blue like his eyes, really nice and calm. " i bet axel's worried about us.. let's go back"
he walked and started thinking for a bit, it was almost as if he knows that she's hiding something, something important,that she doesn't want to say.
she caught him staring at her. " what's wrong? "
he stopped in front of her. " i hope..." he began to blush bright pink, " you could stay with m- i mean us, me and axel "
she was kind of overtaken by this but smiled. "you can't get rid of me that easy. "
somehow she knew that she was lying.
more flashes of more memories,
' my mind is like a locked up cloud, it pains me to remember ... why is that? something is stopping me from clearing my mind. and i'm afraid.
raine; how is it so far? raine doesn't want to remember a certain thing, what is it?
after being pulled into this situation, having met friends is she ready to leave if she had to?
everything just seems too good to be true, what will happen to her next?
all these questions and more will be answered in no time.
give me good reviews...XD
