Me: Well, my spell checker disappeared and I still can't get it back which made me really not want to write if it was gonna have terrible spelling and make me seem stupid…but I was listening to a song which gave me an idea (which was weird because the idea had nothing to do with the song…) so now I'm gonna add a new twist to the story that will become helpful in time.

"Myde, get in the closet."
The statement itself sounded crazy enough even without the insane dog-wolf…thing breaking the door not 10 feet away from them.
"What?" The blond kid couldn't have been expected to believe that Ienzo had really just told him to get in the closet. Said boy turned around and seriously stared at Myde.
"I said get. In. The. Closet." Nonchalantly, like it was the most normal thing in the world.
"Yeah, care to explain why…?" As he questioned him, Myde had to wince as the door cracked and creaked under the strain of the SoulEater's strength. He didn't know how much more that door could be put through but he really didn't want to find out.
"When I was 9, I always wanted to explore at night. Cid wouldn't let me go and I had to sneak out alone. Of course, the branch near the window hadn't grown quite this far yet," He nodded toward the branch that was now pushing against the window outside, hurriedly continuing so not to take up to much time. "and I had to jump to reach the branch. That made noise and even though Cid's a very hard sleeper, I wasn't taking any chances." As he spoke, he pushed the other boy closer to the closet. "So, to help, when I had spare time I made a tunnel of sorts that led outside from the closet so Cid wouldn't find it. It's hidden behind an indented panel in the right hand corner of the closet. Go!" He pushed Myde forward, but the boy grabbed on to the door frame.
"What about you?" He questioned. He defiantly wasn't going to leave the other behind. But, Ienzo kept quiet and shoved harder this time so Myde stumbled forward, tripping over fallen hangers onto the floor. He could hear the door close behind him, which was a problem. Ienzo's closet wouldn't open from the inside. He could remember all the times someone had been locked in there for a few hours clearly. Myde scuttled into the right corner.
'If I'm stuck here, I might as well look for the panel.' He thought, reaching his hand up to feel for a crevice. But, before he could even touch the wall, he heard a sickening CRACK! as the door to the bedroom finally gave way. He jumped slightly and twirled around facing the closet door, leaning his back against the wall. From outside the door, he could hear the SoulEater growl loudly. There were some thumps and a muffled yelp as Myde snuggled closer to the wall. Only then did Myde notice something out of place in the closet.
'That dumbass!' He thought, clenching his fist into a ball. 'He threw me in here for my protection, lying about there being a panel so I'd keep quiet…That's just great. I'm stuck in here wile Little Blue's probably being slaughtered out there!' The very thought made his stomach clench and twist around wickedly. He did NOT want to think about his best friend being murdered 5 feet away from him.
There was a sickening crunch that came after those thoughts that made Myde feel the need to puke. He swallowed that feeling, though he threw-up slightly in his throat. 'I really hope that wasn't what I think that was…' Myde curled into a ball, trying to be as soundless as possible as layed down covering his ears while more unexplained noises came from outside the door.
'Oh Lea, where are you?' (1)
When Lumaria and Lea finally made a stop on the porch to the Highwind's house, you really couldn't call it a house anymore. More like a dump. The front door was wide open, barley hanging onto its hinges. The inside looked like a tornado had gone through it. Tables were turned over, a chair was destroyed, and items were thrown around and had been torn apart. There were slashes along the walls and a chunk of the ceiling was missing. The stairs looked like they'd been obliterated and neither wanted to look and farther into the house.
"Cid's gonna flip…" Lea tried to joke but the humor died in his throat. The boy next to him looked to pale to be healthy, dead and zombie-like.
Lumaria stepped into the house, the red head close behind, as cautious as possible and made his way quietly toward the stairs. Of course, the stairs were mostly gone now so they sorta half-climbed up the railing, which, thankfully, was still intact. When he turned the corner to look at the door to what SHOULD have been Ienzo bedroom.
Lumaria felt his heart stop.
The door to the demonic-angel (2) was gone. Just gone. Well, technically, it was still there but only if you think that the painted pieces of wood scattered across the room counted as the door, still. Most of the room was trashed, basically. But that wasn't what had gotten to the 12 year old. Oh no, far from it. You see, it was blood. Blood was splattered on the wall and partially on the floor. Lumaria stomaching twisted. He didn't have to be a genius to figure out whose blood it was. Ienzo would never have let Myde get hurt. If possible, Lumaria might've paled more.
Foot steps sounded behind him, but he already knew who it was. It didn't help that Lea had didn't take things like this very well. "Hey, Lu, what'cha- " Whatever he was going to say never was heard because Lea caught sight of the room. He froze in midstep and paled probably more than Lumaria himself. Unfortunately, Lea wasn't the brightest apple in the bunch and thought this could've been Myde's blood.
Lea felt lightheaded and dizzy.
A minute of silence…
Another minute…
Then another…
One more…
Then-
"Holy sack of potatoes! What the crap friggin' happened here!?"
Ah, the silence is broken. By broken, of course, I mean it was murdered, cut in to little pieces, burnt to ashes, sent on a airplane to nowhere, shoved n a jar full of rocks, and finally thrown into the deepest darkest trench of the ocean. (3) While Lea was spazzing out, this woke Myde from his half-asleep deep in thought state. He sat up, crawling to the door. The blond put his ear to the wall to hear Lea spazzing out very loudly. He sighed in relief to himself before banging on the door.
"Hey! Guys, let me out!" He called.
Fortunately, Lea was able to stop spazzing like an idiot long enough to hear what was just said. And by stopping, I mean freezing in midair/mid-yell as Lumaria opened the door to the closet. Which quickly resulted in Lea falling flat o his ass like Roxas every 5 seconds in KH2. (4) Myde fell on his face due to the fact he was leaning on it when Lumaria opened it. Lea was able to stop staring as his ass to see if it a bruised or not long enough to process the fact Myde was, in fact, not dead.
This was actually bad for Myde.
Since his best friend (coughUNDYING-LOVEcough) (5) was not dead, and Lea was just scared half-to-death, Lea did something that makes small children and grown men cower in fear as the women giggled at him.
…
The flaming porcupine preceded to glomp the living hell out of the blond.
…
To most people, being glomped would be nice but don't forget this is LEA we're talking about. He only glomps people when extremely scared which means adrenalin is pumping through his veins. To most people, it would just make them jumpy. Lea is not most people. For some reason unknown to the doctors of Radiant Garden, adrenalin gives Lea super-human strength for no reason. Which means even if he wants to or not, whoever he's hugging/glomping/touching will be squeezed so hard they cannot breathe. Lea does not let go until 10 minutes later. So, either you hold your breath for 10 minutes or die trying. No one's died just yet but there've been some close calls. I'd tell you, but the government made us all sign contracts saying we'd never speak of this again, before destroying all evidence of it from the face of the Earth. It was actually a MUCHlonger story than this one leading up to Lea's 'episode'.
But nearly dying is not the worse part. After he's done, the pyromaniac will proceed to yell at you so loud, people 1,000 miles away can hear it…Along with all the cussing. Lucky for you, this is a 'T' rated story so we can not have so many swears. We will skip that part, as Lea lets Myde go so he can breathe.
As Myde gasped for air like a dying fish on the floor, Lumaria surveyed the room once again and turned to Myde.
"What…exactly happened here?" Myde was able to stop the dying fish act and stared at Lumaria.
The blond started screeching about everything that had happened from finding the door open to the tears of blood. By the time he'd gotten the sickening noises part, Lea felt like he was going to faint. Poor, weak hearted redhead…
"So, where'd Ienzo go?" The question was surprising because it came from Myde. "He's obviously not dead. Otherwise there'd be a body here."
The two older boys shared a look before answering.
"We thought you knew."
Myde gave a deep in thought look, placing a hand on his chin before snapping is fingers. "The window!"
Lea was confused. "What about it? It's a window."
"Um, it's open? They probably went out it."
Lumaria turned to the open window to inspect it when something caught his eye. He walked over to get a closer look, leaning out the window.
"Lea." He called.
"What?" The other boy came back from the window to face the redhead.
"Are you tired of fainting and being light headed?"
"Yeah."
"Then you better not look out here." Lea went over and looked anyway.
Down the house was a fresh, thick trail of blood that had spread onto the tree and the grass, leaving the fresh blood to dry as it formed a trail leading in to the forest a distant way off into the night. After staring for 5 minutes, Lumaria had to tug the boy away from the window.
Lea had fainted.
Ugh, finally got this finished. It wasn't that I didn't know what to write I was just to lazy to write it. It probably sucks but I'm posting it anyway. Hopfully I'll post the next chap. soon enough. Whatever. Later
(1) Awww! Myde wants Lea there! 3
(2) I wanted something else to call Ienzo than just his name but I don't know if this really works. I may change it or keep it, depending on what you and I will think of it so if something says 'demonic-angel' or some name you don't know, it's probably Ienzo.
(3) I sometimes want to do this to people I know…
(4) Don't take this the wrong way. Roxas is one of my Favorite characters but really. Roxas falls flat on his ass or face like 6 different times passing out/tripping/falling off the tower. No one can possibly be that much of a klutz!
(5) XD XD XD XD XD XD LMAO!
