The Keys Unlocked: Sorry about the spacing in this chapter my computer was kinda messed up, Kaela and Kaede may look spelling wise the same, but Kaela is pronuced Kay-La, much different from Kai-e-day. See chapter 1 for disclaimer, and READ AND REVIEW
Chapter 2. Olympus's Kumo
Kaela was pretending she wasn't spying.
No it wasn't spying, it was more like eavesdropping, with an extension.
She crawled from her near grounded position towards the pillars to hide behind.
She leaned over, watching the scene in front of her.
The first thing she noticed was the short goat looking creature, standing besides a man with bulging muscles. She wasn't sure what it was it was a man, with goat legs, and horns, strange. Its eyes were drooped in a sad expression.
The bulging muscle man was imitating the same expression. Both of their auras matched the world its old cultural theme.
But the only one looking very out of place, hands were fisted at his side shaking. Actually his entire body was shaking with rage, right up to the tip of his intriguingly spiked blonde hair. His outfit sure was different.
"Where.Is.She." His words were gritted out, and a deadly intent was placed in the air.
The goat shrugged.
"We don't know-HEY!"
Uh oh this could be bad. The blonde turned around to look where the goat/man was angrily coming towards, and that was straight towards to Kaela.
Without having very much time to run, Kaela tripped over herself in her fear.
And the muscle man picked her up so that her feet dangled off the ground.
"Who are you, kid?" The goat yelled up at her, his New York accident thick.
" Kae-Kaela Huston I-I come in peace!" She struggled against the grip.
He dropped her, and she sat up quickly, staring up at them.
The muscle man gave a friendly smile, " I'm Hercules, this is Phil" He gestured to the New York goat. "And that's Cloud." And uninterested, this-is-a-waste-of-my-time, face belonged to Cloud.
Hercules hauled her to her feet.
"What are you doing here though, Kaela?" He asked politely, in a nicer voice than should belong to someone as strong as him.
Kaela looked back and forth between them all.
" I made a wish, that I wanted to meet every Kingdom hearts character, and know I'm here, but apparently I have to find these four, and I don't really know, my Gummi Ship abandoned me and-"
Phil cut her off. "Well that's nice kid, maybe you can meet Meg later, but your no business of ours, we don't know nothing." He looked away along with Hercules, but Cloud glared right down at her.
Noticing this Hercules stepped in between the space next to her and Cloud, to talk to him privately.
"Cloud, she might not be looking for that four."
Cloud switched his scowl over to him.
"What other fours are there, she's after her!"
"Cloud, please think about this."
Cloud was reaching behind him, pulling out a very large sword, and eyes set on Kaela.
"Cloud!"
"You know this girl's going to take her away, you knew this was going to happen, to her!"
Hercules was putting a restraining hand on Cloud's shoulder, but he shook it off, charging toward Kaela. But Kaela jumped, her eyes widening.
"No! I'm not taking anyone anywhere, uh look."
She quickly reached into her pocket, pulling out the letter. She quickly shoved it into his face.
His expression tense as he read it over, and then with a bored look through it back to her, which she scrambled to catch.
Phil with his expression soft came over to them.
"She's got to be able to help find her."
By now, Kaela was getting worried about talking, last time she did she was attacked by a blonde man, and now she was worried that she was going to regret her words.
"Um, can I ask, who?"
Cloud shot her the dirtiest look.
"One of your four."
What had she done to deserve this, and why exactly did Cloud hate her?
Kaela smiled politely trying to lighten the darkening mood.
"Well, I'd be happy to help."
Cloud's glare remained un-wavered, and Kaela truly confused glance back at Phil.
"Ah he's just afraid you'll take his Kaede-Chan away, Cloud's such a little romantic kid."
"Shut up Phil."
But Phil didn't retort, instead Hercules stepped in, and motioned so that they could follow him. He was smiling amiably but no one was going to argue with those muscles.
Kaela trotted behind them, keeping a good distance away from Cloud worried that he was going to just kill her when no one was looking.
They led her to the edge of the busy city, and she could finally let out a sigh of relief. That city was buzzing with carts and merchants voices, so loud.
But when they reached where the white stony pavement began to break, and the dark soil started to push up underneath it, the world became quiet.
The area soundless, and the only change in the noise level was the ominous the forest had.
She felt like turning around and hiding in the Gummi ship, but instead a gentle tap forward was given to her by Hercules.
"Kaede is in their somewhere, but you're the only one she won't run away from, she thinks she's in trouble."
He rolled his eyes.
Kaela opened her mouth to disagree, but noticed cloud's glare the usual I'm-going to-kill-you-in your-sleep but behind those stone blue eyes was a layer of desperation.
She nodded and ran blindly into the forest.
She wasn't scared, not at all, not matter what her disobeying chattering teeth, or shaking knees showed.
She walked on, scared that if she ran, she'd run into something, or someone.
But never did she think she'd run into something that used to be a someone.
Heartless were swarming in these shadows, spreading themselves through the thick leaf filled branches of the trees, all that was clearly noticeable was the bright yellow eyes.
But she with her out Standish clothing, was easily spotted. The heartless ran out of the shadows an act that looked as though they were removing themselves from an entangled shadow.
The came at full force towards her, and Kaela being too shocked to move from her spot put her arms up as defense against the attackers.
But as the tired to come near her, and at only a few feet away they froze a few of them knocked backward, failing on the ground in confusion.
Kaela stared, regaining her breath, and walked forward.
As she walked the heartless were pushed backwards, the ones on the ground being scooted away, and the ones still standing being flung backwards until they were on the ground.
It was as if a force field between her and the heartless was built, and they were unable to break through it.
"This is so X-men." She muttered.
Kaela didn't have anything to worry about with the heartless, being hurled backwards, and no worries whatsoever.
Until something else came.
Flying frozen about two inches away from her face was an intriguingly decorated crystal. Its ice blue sharpened to a pointed spear the tail flying out elegantly like a comet.
Kaela stumbled back, and the owner of that spear crystal came towards her. A dark green cloak fell off her shoulders, and brilliant hazel eyes cut into her gaze.
A girl looking about Kaela's age, walked towards her.
"Uh who are you?" Her voice was kind and polite as if she hadn't just shot something that could've killed her at her.
Her silver flat shoes stood out against the ground, and ask she walked towards Kaela; she could finally see what they girl looked like.
Her brown hair was cut in short layers, and it was about the only thing that could've camouflaged her here. The rest of her clothing consisted of a white shirt, cut as a t-shirt with a pattern at the bottom corner Kaela couldn't identify from this far. The black skinny jeans could've blended in better, but those silver flats would stand out amongst anything.
"Kaela I'm good!!"
She hadn't mean's to sound so dumb, it was just the last time she hadn't added that in, she had apparently made a life time enemy.
The girl smiled, and the silver crystal disappeared, in a quick flash of a light.
"I'm Kaede Kumo."
