The Search
AN Notes: Well, everyone who reviewed my 'A New Life' story requested a sequel. So here it is! The Search! I hope enjoy!
Pit ran out of the palace and jumped, gliding down through the air.
"Where are you off to Pit?" Palutina asked, sounding as if she was trying to sound cheerful, but Pit could still hear the worry in her voice.
They didn't talk much since morning.
"I have to find Cynthia." Pit said.
"Pit..." Palutina began, sounding upset.
"She could be anywhere." She finally said. "Or..." She trailed off. But Pit felt like he knew where she was getting at. Something could have happened to his sister. Pit knew that, but he didn't want to think like that. His sister was still out there. And she was waiting for him.
Pit took in a breath. "I know but...I'll find her. No matter how long it takes."
Pit didn't get a response and couldn't help but wonder what Palutina was thinking.
Soon Pit landed in front of the village that he went to often.
"So..." Pit began, looking at all the people walking about. "Do you have some kind of power that lets you find anyone you want to in the world or anything?"
"Um no." Palutina said.
Pit began walking. He wasn't sure if she was in this village, but he had to start somewhere.
How old was she now? What did she look like? What if she wasn't even...no. He wouldn't think like that. Wherever she was, she was probably safe.
After a while of walking, he saw Magness.
"Hey, Magness!" Pit yelled, skipping over to him.
Magness looked up at Pit, looking a bit shocked at first.
"Oh. Pit again. What are you doing here? I mean, shouldn't you be with your goddess or something?"
"No. Seriously, I don't have to be with her all the times or anything. Actually, I was kind of looking for someone." Pit said.
"Oh really? Who are you looking for?" Magness asked with a bit of a smirk.
"Uh...my...sister." Pit said hesitantly.
"Wait, you have a sister? How does that even work? Never mind. Whats her name?" Magness asked.
"Wait, you'll help!?" Pit asked excitedly.
"Uh...if I know her." Magness said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Right. Well, her name is Cynthia." Pit said.
Magness nodded and looked down, looking almost upset.
"Do you know her?" Pit asked, jumping slightly.
"I mean, there's probably a lot of girls named Cynthia, Pit. But I did meet a girl by that that name. She came to me a long time ago though. Needed a place to stay. She said her town was attacked by bandits. Poor girl. She seemed traumatized."
"Did...she mention having a brother?" Pit asked.
"Actually she did. She said her brother died protecting her..." Magness trailed off and stared at Pit in shock and curiosity.
"That's got to be her! Where did she say we was headed?" Pit asked enthusiastically.
"Uh...a small village not to far off from here. I think it was called...Bloom Town maybe?" Magness said, scratching the back of his head.
"Bloom Town, got it!" Pit said as he began skipping off.
"Wait, Pit, that was a long time ago. Whats the odds that she would stay in one town for that long?" Magness asked.
Pit stopped and turned back to Magness. "If she's not there than someone might be able to tell me where she's at now!" Pit said with a bright smile. With that he ran off.
Palutina activated the power of flight and helped Pit fly to Blossom Town. In no time they were there.
After landing, Pit walked into a hotel. An old woman was scrubbing the bar with a cloth. She glanced up when she saw Pit.
"Why hello there. Can I help you with anything?" The woman asked.
Pit walked over. "Yeah. Um...know anyone named Cynthia?"
"Cynthia Sky?" The woman asked.
Pit nodded and smiled. "Yeah. That's the girl I'm looking for."
The woman laughed. "Hardly a girl now. She grew up so much. I barley recognize her as the eight year old girl that came here crying. Yes, I know her. She works here. Why?"
Pit bit his lower lip. "Uh...I'm an old friend of hers. So...do you know where she's at?"
The woman shook her head. "No. But its a small village. I'm sure you'll run into her eventually."
Pit nodded and skipped out of the hotel. At least he knew she was close by.
Soon, while walking, looking for his sisters face through the crowd, he glanced at two people who were laughing and talking. He continued walking than stopped, turned around, and looked at the girl talking to the guy.
She had brown curly messy hair, bright blue eyes, and a beautiful smile. It was unmistakably his younger sister that he once forgot about. Older, but it was her.
She glanced at him. Pit quickly ran into an alley, his heart thudding and sweat pouring from his face.
She looked...happy. What if going back would bring up memories and she would be upset? What if she didn't even remember him? After all, it was a long time ago...
"Take me back lady Palutina." Pit begged as he fell on his knees, tears forming in his eyes.
"Pit...but your so close. Don't you want to see her again?" Palutina asked, sounding upset.
Pit shook his head. "I can't." Pit said. Then he began sobbing.
"Pit..." Palutina began, but fell silent.
He wanted to talk to her. He missed her, even though he just got his memory back today. But...he wanted his sister happy. And she was happy now.
"Pit?" A voice said. It wasn't whiny anymore, but Pit could still tell who it was.
Pit spun around and slowly stood up, meeting the eyes of his younger sister that was now much older.
"Do you...remember me?" Pit asked quietly.
Cynthia put a hand to her mouth as tears formed in her eyes. "It...is you. Pit! I...I don't have to remember. Because I never forgot!" Cynthia jumped at him, hugging him tightly.
"Cynthia...I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner." Pit whispered, hugging Cynthia back.
"Pit...its alright. I'm glad your here now. We'll never be separated ever again! I'll make sure of it!" Cynthia said.
Pit smiled. He was so happy now. Knowing that his sister made it this far without him. He wondered what happened to their mom though. Maybe it was best not to ask. After all, he had his sister back. What more could he want at the moment?
Pit backed up to look at his sister. "Want to play hide and seek? I got better at the game."
A mischievous smile appeared on his sisters face as she nodded.
