"Feet are feeling light."
It was a girl. A young girl, probably my age. She was perched at the end of the second wall, the one I was looking for. I couldn't see her very well, but I knew she was wearing a zorro-like mask. By the dim light of the moon I couldn't tell the color of her hair, but it was curled and it swayed with each move she made. She was wearing a blue, long-sleeved deeply cut v neck unitard with a white star on her chest. The unitard had black along the neck. On her hands were black fingerless gloves with spikes on the knuckles, armed for punching. On her feet were almost knee-high converse boots with bright, white laces on the front. I tried to move forward without being heard, but I stepped on something, so she bounded forward on the wall. She was very light footed.
"Head on out to see the sights."
She stopped in the middle of the wall, searching for something. It would be safe to say that she was searching for me, what girl wasn't?
"Ain't life a many splendored thing?"
I climbed the wall in less than a minute, chasing after the girl. She turned around and saw me. Oh, crap, blew my cover. She gasped and started running, jumping off the wall onto the other side. I continued to chase after her, ducking up and down from these nature beings. I heard many things, but I heard her as well, ever though I knew I had a mission and all, but, she could very well be the dark figure everyone was complaining about.
"Ducking up and down, all these crazy sights and sounds."
She grabbed onto a branch of a tree and tried to jump onto it, but instead the back of her unitard got snagged on the edge of the branch, leaving her dangling and throwing a bit of a fit. She crossed her arms over her chest and frowned, bobbing as the branch struggled to support her weight.
"Bouncing like a puppet on a string"
She swore under her breath as I approached her, a bit of shocked grazing over her facial features. The darkness of the area made her hair look a deep, murky brown. I looked at her from below.
"Oh well, hey there." I smirked, nonchalantly climbing the tree. She huffed.
"Hey yourself." Her voiced was light and eerie like bells, and a little breathless. "Is there a reason you're over here?"
"I could ask you the same thing, beautiful." I smiled. She blushed but looked away, focusing on getting off the branch. "You shouldn't be up here, you know."
"Oh really? What makes you think you can make me turn around?" She gasped when I cut the branch, but gathered herself quickly enough to land on her feet and back flip to regain her balance.
"I'm really," I jumped onto a lower branch, hanging onto it while I leaned in towards her face "Persuasive" I breathed, and she shuddered.
"Well, you can persuade your ass somewhere else. I have a mission to do and I'm to focused to deal with you right now." She stated, walking towards the other direction. Oh, so she was stubborn. I really like stubborn girls. I decided to follow her, and she proceeded to act annoyed.
"What is it you're looking for?" I asked her. She groaned.
"Nothing you need to know about. Will you please go play by yourself or something?"
"I prefer to play with someone else than play by myself." I remarked, jumping in front of her. She gasped, then scoffed. "But really, you shouldn't be here. You know, alone in the forest all by yourself."
"As I said before, I have something to do, you won't make me turn around." She leaped over another tree trunk, and gasped again.
"Never gonna find, anything to change my mind."
I continued to follow her and I saw what she was gasping at. It was an old greenhouse with vines and weeds sprouting about it. It was clearly abandoned a long time ago. I didn't think I would find anything in there, but she thought so. She started running toward the green house, and I chased after her. She stopped suddenly at the door and I studied it as well. The door was the shape of a four leafed clover, with four small black birds inside each of the leaves. She traced the outlining of the clover with her hand and rubbed her fingers together. She frowned.
"Oil" she spat. "The shining stuff on it is oil. He isn't here." She kicked at the door and growled, frustration taking over her mind. I stared at the door, then back at her.
"Who isn't here?" I asked. She wrinkled her nose.
"That Dark Figure person. He attacked some of my friends." She sighed, rubbing her shoulder. My eyes bulged. Apparently, this figure had targeted more than one person. I stared at the door, trying to figure out how to open it. She started punching it repeatedly.
"Maybe if you let me handle it-" I started to say, but she stopped her punching to glare at me.
"Maybe if you left me alone and let me do my job, I could get this done faster," She continued her rhythmic punching.
"What makes you think I'm suddenly going to change my mind and turn around, Oragami-circle? Never gonna change it, I'm stubborn, you know."
"Famous last lines of a fool"
"My name is Oracle. Not Oragami-circle, you twat." She sighed and stopped beating the door. Ahaha, beating. "It won't budged."
I grinned and gently pushed her out of the way before saying "Excuse me, Oral."
I took more firecrackers from my back pocket and threw them on the ground. It blew open the door with a FWAM! as I turned around to smirk at her.
"IT'S ORACLE!"
"I know what you're name is. I was just describing what you'll be giving me by the end of the night." I walked in casually but cautiously to the green house, searching my surroundings throughly. She blushed and stuttered to herself. I liked the way she freaked when anything embarassing happened to her. It was cute.
"I'm what?" she asked. Shit, did I say that out loud? "No, dude, you didn't say that out loud."
What the fuck?
"How do you know what I'm thinking? Or are you just a really good guesser?" I asked, almost tripping over a piece of glass. She shrugged.
"Well I have super powers. I'm a telepath and I can see fragments of the future. I heard what you thought about- my embarassing behavior. All I have to say is, shut up."
I laughed at her bewildered stare and continued to look around the greenhouse. It was a bit pretty, I guess, as far as a green house goes. Besides all the broken glass and and wilted plants everywhere, it was pretty. I didn't know what exactly we were looking for in here, but it was obviously a clue of some kind. She searched the area with her cloaked eyes, I had no idea what color they were. That bothered me. I liked using pick up lines on girls with pretty eyes. I didn't know what color her eyes were, so my game was kind of thrown off.
"I won't tell you my eye color, that's like half of my identity." She smiled. "But what are you doing here by yourself anyway? Don't you have a team or something?"
"I could ask you the same question. But if you really want to know, I have some of my team waiting on the other side of the wall. Not that it matters to me, I like working alone anyways, since no one really remembers me."
"I'm not sure they appreciate being left alone there while you get all the action. And what do you mean, no one remembers you?" She asked, looking under some white wood. I sighed.
"I have a super power, too. I can't die. I just wake up the next day in my bed like nothing happened, and no one remembers when I die. It's a horrible feeling, it's like no one seriously cares about me. I just die over and over again, and then the next day, every time with out fail, I wake up in my bed again." I scrunched up my nose at my inner pain of being forgotten. She gasped.
"I could never handle that on my own, I'm so sorry." She hung her head as if she wanted to cry. I didn't know how to handle that. I'm not used to girls crying because of me. Shouting at me I could handle, bitches do it all the time. But crying? Nope.
"It's okay. I'm kind of a loner because of it. Just by myself 24/7" I shrugged and stepped on another piece of broken glass.
"Just when you think, you're a chain with just one link"
"We need to find his four-leafed clover. Mind you, this clover is larger than normal clovers, and it's made of metal. It's about the size of a small spoon and as thick as-"
"My dick?" I interrupted her, and she scoffed dramatically, throwing her hands in the air and rolling her eyes.
"NO. Just look for a clover, okay?"
So we searched the green house for the mysterious metal clover, looking inside flower pots, between cracks and inside old broken cabinets. We searched and searched, but we couldn't find it. We were about to give up, when I saw a shiny object in the corner of my eye.
There it was!
I ran towards it, well hidden behind some green grass and placed on a small wooden stool. I grabbed the clover and sat on the stool triumphantly. I was about to turn around to shout to Oracle that I had found it, when I felt myself being tackled.
"Something comes to tip you off, your stool."
"LOOK OUT!" She screamed, tackling me suddenly. My first instinct was to push her off instantly after impact, when I realized why she tackled me in the first place. Green lazers started spewing out of no where as we narrowly dodged them. She pushed me behind a small statue for cover.
"Where the hell did these god damn lazers come from?" I hissed.
"You triggered them when you removed the metal clover from it's stool. It was motion censored. Why didn't I think of it first? Why didn't I see it?" She shook her head in frustration. I placed the metal clover inside my glove and grabbed Oracle by the shoulders. I looked at her in her covered eyes.
"It's not that-" pew! "Big of a-" pew! pew pew pew! pew! "Deal! I mess up all-" BAM! "The" bam bam bam! "Time on missions!" pew pew pew!
"Yes it is! No one ever takes me seriously enough and I'm trying my freaking hardest here to god damn prove myself and I can't even detect a stupid motion censored flower? God damn it!"
I frowned. She frowned.
"We gotta get out of here. Do you see a way out?" She asked me. I looked around.
"Over there." I pointed. "There's a ladder that leads to the top of the green house. If we can run over there quick enough, we can climb out of here." She glanced at me, then at the ladder then back at me again. She chewed her lip thoughtfully.
"Let's do it." She sprang forward and I ran after her, we dodged the green lazers as they barely missed us. She reached the rusted ladder and began climbing it swiftly, not stopping to catch her breath until she was at the top. I was right next to her when she shouted
"WOOO! TAKE THAT, YOU GOD FORSAKEN GREEN HOUSE! I AM SO LEGIT BAD ASS UP IN THIS BITCH, MOTHERFUCKER MAGNETO CAN'T EVEN TOUCH ME RIGHT NOW. OH MY GOD, I AM SO. AWESOME. TOTALLY DODGED THIS BITCH LIKE OH MY GO-"
"Oracle, move!" I yelled, pulling her hand and jumping off the greenhouse. She screamed as we fell through the air, missing the lazer's last attempt to zap us into ashes. We fell through trees and landed on a bush, her landing on top of me in a straddling position. She groaned as she began to sit up, placing her arms on my chest firmly. She scrunched up her nose as I laughed furiously.
"Well hello hello to you too." She scoffed. I laughed at her again.
"Hello, hello."
"Hi." I replied. Sitting up and facing her. She was still straddling my waist and she refused to move from there as I made direct eye contact with her. She blushed again, and I fought the urge to laugh at her tomato face.
"Hello hello, My my my what have we here?"
"Well, I, I um. I don't- Thanks. I guess. We're a good team. I suppose, seeing as I've never really worked with you before. You're Mysterion, right? I know it's kind of late for introductions but, yeah. I'm not surprised your as awesome as everyone says you are. I'm impressed, really." She stuttered, removing her hands from my chest and placing them on my shoulders instead. She smiled.
"What a surprise, what a surprise, hello hello"
"You're not to bad yourself, Oracle. I wish I knew your real name though. Really. But, thanks for helping me out back there. I would've been fried if you hadn't tackled me back there. Thanks." I replied. She smiled.
"Anytime."
"But, also, thank you for making me feel, I don't know, less alone. I'm not the only one here with real super powers. I know that now. I mean, my friends have power to but, most of it is all little stuff that doesn't make them much different. Either it's an invention or they happened to get it ten seconds ago. It's nice to know someone else was born with a power." I replied, wrapping my arms around her mid-section. Her face became redder.
"I know how you feel." She dipped her head. "I always felt less important to some people."
"Hello, Hello. I'm not alone, that's good to know."
"Maybe we don't have to feel like that anymore." I whispered, tightening my grip around her. She bit her lip.
"Yeah. Maybe."
"Maybe we can. Be friends. Or, just-"
"Yeah. Maybe."
"Do you say anything else besides maybe?"
"Yeah- Maybe..."
I leaned in closer to her face as I felt her peppermint breath begin to tickle my nose, I was inches away from her when-
"KENNY? KENNY WHERE ARE YOU?" I heard Sadie yell. "Dude, are you okay? KENNNNYYYY?"
Oh for fucks sake.
"Oh, no. I have to go." She scrambled to get up, panicking to hear Sadie's voice. "I'm so sorry, Mysterion, I don't know what came over me, I was to go."
"But-wait!" I shouted, grabbing her hand. "How will I find you?"
"You can't. I have to go!" She yanked her hand away from mine and disappeared into the forest. I was about to get up and chase after her, When Stan grabbed my shoulder.
"Oracle! Oracle, wait!" I shouted. "Wait!"
"Dude are you okay?" He asked, concern washing over his features. I shook my head.
"No! You and Sadie just interrupted the BIGGEST moment of my life! You two have HORRIBLE TIMING!" I spat, angrily getting up and started stomping away from them. Sadie frowned.
"The fuck is your problem? And who were you talking to? I heard another voice. Kinda high pitched and girly." She gushed, chasing after me. I scoffed.
"Nevermind. It's not important." That was a lie. It was very important. I needed to find her. They'd never understand what it was like to be forgotten all the time, to be different from all of your friends, no matter how hard they pretended to have super powers. They weren't real, like Oracle's and I. I needed to find her, I'd say hello to her again. This wasn't goodbye. Someone was finally out there, just like me. She said hello to me. And she meant it. I would find her if it was the last thing I did.
"Someone's out there, to say. Hello. Hello."
A/N: This is my favorite song of all time. If you're wondering where it is, It's ''Hello, Hello" by Elton John and Lady Gaga. Today is my birthday, as you know. June 9th and all that. Um, yes, this was some-what of a filler chapter. Meh. Romance between Kenny and an unknown character. I have no idea who Oracle is. Perhaps, do you know? Could you guys leave me your best guess? I seriously have no idea who she is. Maybe it's the dark figure playing mind trick on him, maybe it's a random OC I happened to write in, who knows? But yes, happy birthday to me, blah blah blah blah blah blah, now you're fourteen, whatever that's chill. Review? I love you guys!
