Jessica's Point of View
When the morning came, Ienzo and I played outside in front of the castle with Mr. Ansem was watching us. Suddenly, a man with an eyepatch came running toward us and shouted, "Master Ansem!"
Mr. Ansem turned to see the strange eyepatch man. "Braig, what is it?" He asked.
Mr. Braig whispered something to Mr. Ansem, and Mr. Ansem's eyes widened.
"Braig, go get Dilan and Even," Mr. Ansem ordered.
"Even?" Mr. Braig questioned, raising his eyebrow.
"To watch the children," Mr. Ansem replied.
For the first time, Mr. Braig looked in our direction. "Who's the bump head?" Braig wondered.
"I'm Jessica, and they're buns, not bumps!" I shouted, crossing my arms.
Mr. Braig seemed slightly surprised. "Jessica, you say?" He asked. Mr. Ansem nodded. Mr. Braig quickly recovered and gave off a cocky smirk. "Well, so long, Miss Bun Head." He ran into the castle.
"Jessica, Ienzo, something has come up, so Even will watch the two of you for now. There is something that I must do elsewhere right now," Mr. Ansem mentioned. I recalled that Even was the man who had been formally introduced to me when I arrived in Radiant Gardens.
Mr. Braig came out of the castle with Even and another man following him, who I remembered from my first time in Radiant Gardens as Dilan. He was one of the guards at the castle. Mr. Ansem walked over to them and began having a quiet conversation with them.
"Be careful around Even. He gets frustrated easily. Braig and Dilan are guards here, and Even is a scientist here. All of them live here," Ienzo explained.
I looked back at the group. Mr. Ansem, Mr. Dilan, and Mr. Braig were headed somewhere. Mr. Even stayed behind and was approaching us.
"What's going on?" I wondered.
"Braig found someone unconscious. Ansem, Braig, and Dilan are going to investigate. It's nothing you should concern yourself with. You may continue playing," Mr. Even answered. He seemed distracted and distant.
Before I could ask any more questions, Ienzo tapped me on the shoulder. "Tag, you're it!" He shouted.
"No fair," I giggled. My thoughts drifted away from everything else as I enjoyed my time with Ienzo.
When Mr. Ansem, Mr. Dilan, and Mr. Braig came back, I was shocked to see Mr. Braig carrying a man who looked similar to Terra at first glance. I got a closer look and realized that it was the combination of Terra and Xehanort that I had seen the night before. I saw that Mr. Dilan was carrying too. I took a closer look to find that it was Aqua's armor. "Jess?" Ienzo said, breaking me out of my thoughts. I looked at him and saw that he had noticed the fear on my face and was concerned for me. Mr. Ansem and Mr. Even were talking. I approached them to see if I could find out any details that would help me make sense of this mess.
"Who is that man?" I asked.
Mr. Ansem turned to me. "All we know is that his name's Xehanort. He fell unconscious after he said it. Jessica, are you alright? You look pale," He commented.
"I-I-" I stuttered. Not knowing what else to do, I started to run.
"Jessica?!" Mr. Ansem shouted, but I didn't turn around. I just kept on moving. Shortly after, I risked a look behind me. Mr. Even was running after me. The thought of Xehanort being alive terrified me. It was even eerier that he now looked like one of my friends for some reason. I needed to leave, so I summoned my armor, used my keyblade as a glider, and left.
Wow! I can't believe that I just wrote that. Poor Jessica. It looks like I'm on a roll with my chapters. I just posted one yesterday, and I'm posting another one today. It's practically unheard of.
