Chapter 3- 1 hour's a waste of time

I blink at the sunlight. All I see is woods, it reminds me of a joke. Someone walking in the forest saying, "Oh, my god a tree!." turnong around then and saying, "Oh, my gosh another tree!"

I laugh at my own joke that. My lips felt numb and I could hardly stand. Sleeping in the dirt made my back all sore. Where ever Sora is, he'll hear my complaints! It's annoying how I have to reck my self esteem looking for the spiky hedgehog, with the crystal, beautiful eyes, and his perfect sweet smile that he gives me, and his cute little face he gives me when he wants something specific. I lost my point...anyways, I should get a go. I won't acconplish anything sitting around here.

I sit up slowly looking at my surroundings. It's still kind of dark, I guess it hasn't hit dawn yet. But as if that would stop me! I sprint, but run out of breath, yet I scream my heart out.

"SORA, WHERE'RE YOU?! I NEED YOU!"

No answer.

I groan loudly and hit a tree. It rusteled and a figure fell down, I sqeal as the thing yelps. I grab a stick and start hitting whatever it was with my eyes shut hard.

"OWW! Stop that! That hurts!"

When I hear those words I stop looking down at who I hit. It was a spiky red headed guy who was rather tall. He stood up and glared down at me, then his expression softened as he grinned. He wasn't looking at my face, I'll tell you that.
"YOU IDIOT!" I yell at him and smack him with the stick.

He runs his hand ,embraced in a black glove, through his firy red hair.

"What is a little poppet like you doing walking around in the forest like red riding hood, I might be the wolf and eat you up." He licked his lips and laughed.

My face went red in embaressment. WHO THE HELL DID E THINK HE WAS?! I shook my hea and started to walk away. But he grabs my arm and spins me back around, my nose bumps into his chest and I rub it. I narrow my lightning blue eyes at him. "Leave me alone. I don't talk to strangers, especially if they're like you."

"My name is Axel."

"I don't know any Axel's, so get out of my way!" I yell at him and start running.

"I wouldn't go-" He starts.

"What?!" I yell annoyed leaning my head back but keep running when the ground dissapeared under my feet once more and my head started to feel dizzy.

"I GOT YOU!" I hear a familiar voice shout at my steep fall. A slim figurel in a black coat picked me up and we flew oer to the ground. I look up and see Xion looking at me. I stand up, brush any leafs off of my dress and say, "Thank you."

"No problem. So, do you still need help? Going anywhere specific?" She said with bright blue crystal eyes that reminded me so much of Sora's.

I hesitate, I don't even know where Sora is. I just started to walk aroud in this forest..." Actually I think I still need your help. "Have you seen a boy with spiky hair around here? He has a nice smile, like yours. He's a little taller than me, and he's slim built."

She seemed like she was thinking about it, but then shook her head."I don't know at all. Maybe you should go check with Axel." She suggested.

"No thanks, I'm ok with that." I laugh lightly and look up at her. She was searious. " Oh! I mean, well... is there any shelter near?"

A hand set on my shoulder. It was Axel of course. "There's a mansion very close by. We can take you if you want."

I light up and nodded like crazy, maybe someone in there heard about it!

"Here it is." Axel presented to me, a huge black gate that showed the back of the mansion.

"Umm, how do I get in?" I twitch and turn my head towards both of them.

They shrugged and said in unision, "Be creative." Then like ninja's, they wen't poof!

Be creative they said, HAH, I can do that.

But I just realized, I can't.

I try once more clinging onto the gates as I gasp climbing over it. When I'm on top of it, I laugh. "I prevail! I pre- OUCH!"

I fell into a bush of roses. I was sure that my bruises would get worse. Would Sora still like me like this?

"Damn bush..."I mutter and run over to the back entrance. It was open.

"Hey, Namine, can people wander around in the forest?" I ask when she looks down at me with small pursed lips.

She cocked her head to the side with small pursed lips as she said, "Why? But yes,Sora, sure they can, but the forest is so deep, no one could find the mans-"

A loud crash cut ehr off as she stared in shock.

Namine ran downstairs quickly"GET OUT!!!"She yells as I decide to go downstairs.

I jump up and run downstairs where Namine was standing, unfront of a girl with red/ brown hair. The girl looked at me and her eyes widened.

"SORA!" She yells and tries to run over to me but Namine blocks her path.

"Get out of here!" She yells at her. "You better leave this place and never come again." She screamed and her face turned a little red.

"Namine, what's going on?" I try to comfort her and walk over to her, looking up and down at that girl who invited herself in here.

"Sora, where have you been? I've been looking all over for you!"

"Who are you?" I narrow my eyes at her. Her blue and violet eyes were piercing and sharp.

"What kind of question is that? I'm Kai-"

Namine turned and ran over to her."SHUT UP!" Namine held down that girls mouth to shut her up.

I stared at both of them. The red head was looking at the blond and trying to strike her to get her off of her.

The red head managed to get Namine off of her, as she was ready to slamm her to the floor this weird rush came into me.

I run over to Namine.

"Go away! Leave Namine alone!!!" I yell at her.

"Sora, I-"

"I have no idea who you are. Stop saying that to me!" I keep hissing at her.

"You're not-" She backed away.

"What?" I look down at myself.

Namine stood up and walked over to me.

"Roxas. Here you are, finally." Namine whispered.
