Childhood Memories

Chapter 10: Sarah's Soul Missing?

Seth and I looked at each other in shock. We then quickly ran up to the stairs followed by Zidane and Blank. Seth slammed open the pink door. But there was nothing! Sarah wasn't in her bed. Seth ran up to the bed and started to throw the blankets and pillows to be sure she wasn't hiding underneath anything. She wasn't there!

"Missy…" I heard a voice whisper my name. "Missy out here!"

Zidane ran up to me. "Missy do you hear that?" Zidane asked looking around the room. I nodded my head.

"Hear what?" Blank asked.

Zidane and I looked at each other knowing whose voice that was.

"Stay close to me." Zidane said as he drew out his dagger and continued to look around the room.

"Missy…" the voice said again.

I looked around the room continuing to find where the voice was coming from. Until I finally made contact with…the window! I ran up to the opened window and there it was. The figure! The figure flew high above the window. The figure had Sarah motionless in its arms.

"There you are." The figure said.

"SARAH!" I yelled. But Sarah didn't answer. Everybody ran up to the window to see Sarah, but not the figure. But Zidane could see the figure. Seth looked up at Sarah shocked.

"She can fly?" he asked.

"Do you want Sarah back?" the figure asked "But of course, there's a price."

I stood there waiting for the price even though I knew what it was.

"If you come with me, I'll let Sarah go." The figure said.

"You…You BASTARD!" Zidane yelled.

"So…if I come with you, you'll let Sarah go?" I asked. Zidane looked at me kind of shocked.

"Missy, your not going to go with him are you?" Zidane asked saddened.

"I don't think I have a choice." I said looking down at the ground. I climbed up out of the window and pulled myself up onto the roof.

"Missy, wait!" Zidane yelled.

I stood on the roof with my head still down. Now I was at the same level as the figure, which stood a couple of feet out from the roof, floating in mid air.

"Who are you?" I asked with my head still down.

"Hmp. Sidluca Jaku" the figure spoke.

"If you're using Sarah as a hostage to get me to go with you, you're definitely dumb!" I said. "For I know for a fact that…you took her soul. And you want me to trade myself for a soulless body that would never wake up until her soul is returned."

"Smart girl you are!" the figure said. "I guess this body is no good then."

The figure let go of Sarah's body that started to make its way down to the ground. I lifted up my head revealing my bright blue eyes. And again, there were no pupils or anything in my eyes. Sarah's body suddenly floated in mid air. I moved my head slowly up and down as the body followed my head and slowly floated up on the rooftop until her body laid flat on the roof.

"So you really are the one…" the figure said.

What was happening? What was this? I looked at my hand in confusion as a mark that looked like a Z in cursive appeared in the middle of my right palm. The Z's lines glowed bright blue just like my eyes. I stared at it for a couple of seconds until it finally disappeared. The blue light that was coming from my eyes and palm was no longer visible. I was back to "normal stage." I continued to look at my hand in confusion.

"What happened?" I asked myself.

"Foolish girl! You sill don't know of the blood that flows in your own veins" the figure replied.

"What blood?" I asked looking up at the figure.

"Hmp. Never mind. I'll come back for you later and I'll be taking Sarah's soul with me" the figure said. He then suddenly disappeared out of my sight. I wanted to ask him so many questions. I was adopted and I still have no idea who or what I am. But I know the one person with most of the answers…my foster mom, Rose.

"Missy!" Zidane called, climbing up onto the roof followed by Seth and Blank. Seth ran up to me before Zidane and Blank were able to stand up.

"WHERE'S SARAH!?" he asked desperate.

"I-," But Seth already found Sarah lying next to me. He dropped to his knees, and lifted Sarah's head.

"Sarah! Sarah!" Seth called as he shook Sarah. But it was no use. She was completely motionless. He laid her head back down and stood up.

"Is she sleeping? How was her body floating like that!?" he asked obviously not seeing the figure.

I looked at him afraid of telling him what happened to Sarah. I myself was afraid of what I was going to say. So I looked away from Seth. He grabbed my right hand and placed it in between both of his hands.

"Please, tell me!" he begged.

"Um…her body is here…but…I'm afraid her soul is gone." I answered with difficulty.

"S-She's D-D-Dead!!" Seth said letting go of my hand and dropping to his knees right next to Sarah. He had his head down so I didn't get to see his expression.

"No, not necessarily!" I said dropping down at the ground and placing my hand on his back. "All we need to do is get her soul back to her body."

"So she's dead." He asked again still looking down at his fist that he pounded on the roof.

"For now." I said sadly. "But I do promise I'll do my best to get her back."

He stayed like that for a while until finally he brought his head back up and looked at me with caring eyes.

"Thanks." He said with a sly smile on. I smiled back at him. And we leaned in towards each other to give each other a friendly embrace. When out of nowhere, a clumsy Blank came tumbling towards us. Seth and I quickly departed before Blank fell in between us.

"Blank, you klutz!" Zidane called. Blank then quickly got back up and raised his fist up to Zidane who stood there looking confused.

"KLUTZ!? YOU WERE THE ONE THAT PUSHED ME!!!" Blank yelled.

"What? I don't understand!" Zidane said, acting like Mr. Innocent even though he knew he pushed Blank. I gave a sigh knowing why he pushed Blank towards me and Seth.

Seth stood back up. "Missy, are you okay?" Seth asked reaching his hand out to help me up.

"Yeah!" I answered as I grabbed for his hand and he pulled me up. "Thanks!"

"You must be cold. Here, you can use my jacket." Seth said taking off his leather jacket and placing it over my shoulders. I pulled it tightly around me.

"I'm going to take a bath and go to sleep. I'll see you boys in the mourning!" I said walking away with the jacket over my shoulder.

Zidane, Seth, and Blank stood there until finally Missy was out of sight. Seth quickly turned towards Zidane with a big smirk on his face.

"Hey, I think Missy likes me. Did you see the way she leaned in to embrace me?" Seth said smiling. Zidane glared at him.

"Maybe…I guess." Zidane said duly.

"But it looked more like a friendly hug to me!" Blank said, trying to help Zidane, with his arms folded.

"You know, I might even ask her out or even…sleep with her." He said, kind of joking. But Zidane thought other wise. He reached his hands up to Seth's neck to chock him, but Blank pulled back his arms preventing him from doing that. Blank held Zidane back as Zidane continued to struggle loose.

"BLANK, LET ME GO!" Zidane yelled as he continued to break loose so he could punch Seth's lights out. Seth looked at Zidane confused.

"ZIDANE CHILL OUT! HE WAS JUST JOKING!" Blank yelled. Zidane suddenly stopped. Blank let go of Zidane so that Zidane was able to stand up straight now.

"You were?" Zidane asked.

"Yeah." Seth said now looking at Zidane awkwardly after the "little stunt" he tried to pull.

"Oh…sorry. Um…I was joking too. I just wanted to scare you a bit." Zidane lied. Seth gave out a laugh and slapped Zidane on the back.

"You can't scare me!" Seth said laughing.

"Ha, ha, RIGHT." Zidane said rolling his eyes.

Blank gave out a yawn and stretched out his arms. "Let's go to bed." Blank said walking over to the edge of the roof top. Zidane and Blank went down. But Seth picked up Sarah's body.

"Sarah…" he whispered to himself.

He gave out a small sigh and started to walk to the edge of the roof.

Later on in the morning…

We stood outside of the house ready to head up to the mountains where our airship crashed. Our airship was finally fixed thanks to Seth. But we couldn't bring the airship down here because there was no place to land the airship because of all the houses.

"Thanks! We'll get Sarah back for you. Well, I guess we'll see you later Seth." Zidane said turning around and getting ready to walk away.

"Wait!" Seth called over to Zidane. Zidane stopped and turned back around towards Seth.

"If it's okay with you, I'll like to come along." Seth said standing there just staring at Zidane for an answer. But Zidane just stood there blankly.

"Sure!" I said quickly. Zidane looked at me kind of token back.

"But you should stay here and watch Sarah's body!" Zidane said quickly. He WANTED to get away from Seth as soon as possible.

"Don't worry about it. My good friend will watch over her" he answered.

"But what about your house?" Zidane asked.

"What about it?" Seth asked with no concern.

"But what about your family?" Zidane asked.

"Don't have any" Seth answered.

"But what about your-," But I interrupted him before he asked another irrelevant question.

"Seth, so aren't you going to show us where the airship is?" I asked.

"Yeah!" Seth then started to walk in front of us. Blank followed after Seth but before Zidane walked off; I grabbed his hand and tugged him back a little.

"Zidane…are you okay?" I asked.

Zidane gave out a grin. "Of course I am!" he said.

"You sure?" I asked.

"Yeah" Zidane said. "But…"

Zidane now had my full attention. The "but" word was usually used whenever something bad was going to happen…well, not necessarily.

"Never mind" he said turning around. He then started to walk but then I ran up to him and stood in front of him to stop him from walking any further.

"Tell me" I said with a pouting face on. Zidane gave out a laugh.

"Don't worry about it" he said with a big grin on his face. He then started to walk so I just gave up. I walked next to Zidane with my hands behind my back.

"Do you think Saul and Celia are okay?" I asked trying to bring up a subject.

"Yeah, there probably looking for us too" he said not even looking at me. And after that it was silent. I decided to stare at Zidane for a while. He looked at the ground with a saddened look. But then he noticed me staring.

"Is there something wrong?" Zidane asked sincerely.

"Um…no." I said quickly turning my head back down to the ground.

Maybe it's true. Maybe Seth was right. She does seem to want Seth to come with us all the time…or maybe she's just being…nice… Zidane thought as he stared at Missy who looked down at the ground with a saddened look.

I brought up my head noticing he was staring but then he just turned head back down to the ground. So, I turned my head back to the ground. I wonder why Zidane is so sad? I know I shouldn't ask him but I just have to know. Or at least make him feel better.

"Hey Zidane, cheer up!" I said with a smile on. "For ever minute you spend on sadness, you lose 60 seconds of happiness. So what do I have to do to make you happy?"

Zidane stared at me for a couple of seconds but then gave out a smile.

"Nothing…" Zidane continued. "But promise me…" Zidane then put his head back down. "…nothing will change between us"

I stared at him for a couple of seconds and gave out a cheerful smile.

"Of course nothing will change between us! Because I won't let it happen." I said to Zidane, who brought his head back up and stared at me with a grin on his face.

"Come on Zidane. If we keep on walking at this rate, we'll lose Seth and Blank!" I said grabbing Zidane's hand and pulling him as I ran after Blank and Seth who were far away.

Or maybe Seth's wrong and I'm…right! Zidane thought as Missy pulled him by the hand.

Yeah…I made this chapter with a little bit of drama I guess. It took me a while to do this, so please review!
