Just so you all know, this story is basically me trying a new writing style. Instead of writing in third person, I want to try to work in the characters POV. So I will be switching characters every chapter, just to work with different personalities. Please, tell me what you all think so I know how I'm doing with this new style!

Ages:

Sora: 16

Roxas: 16

Ven: 16

Riku: 17

Axel: 18

Terra: 18

Chapter 2:

Ven's POV

My heart was pounding. That…monster had tried to crush my brothers and I! Seriously!? Why us?

I couldn't help but spitefully wonder why it hadn't gone after the man who had broken my now, but I felt my anger melt away. That man—Terra, was it?—was staring at me warmly, hand gripping my shoulder in a comforting kind of way. Those blue eyes captivated me. He had saved my life.

Just as the monster was about to crush us, Terra had managed to pull me away by the shirt; I could see Sora being pulled away by the first baseman and Roxas just narrowly escaping death when the catcher tackled him away.

I quivered lightly, continuing to stare up into my savior's eyes. My own eyes began to burn with tears. It's embarrassing to admit, so you have to promise not to tell anyone! Promise? Good. I scare really easily. And let me tell you something, it doesn't get much scarier than a near death experience. What made it even scarier was that I was nearly killed by a real monster!

I burst into tears, clinging to Terra tightly, ignoring the surprised looks he gave me. "M-My nose hurts so much!" I sobbed. It was the truth. My nose did hurt, but that was far from the truth of my tears.

Sora chuckled weakly, sounding unsure, but he pried me away from Terra and hugged me close. "It's okay Ven," he cooed. "We'll take you to the doctor. Your nose will be fine."

Thank you Sora for backing up my little fib. Yep! I'm just in pain! I wasn't scared at all! Seriously; I'm not lying!

But anyway, I nodded slowly and wiped my eyes. The monster had gone back to wherever it had come from, much to everyone's relief, but as for Twilight Town's team…

The Gummi Ship they had arrived in was in ruins. Well, that explained the crash we had heard earlier. I heard Terra's coach sadly mumble something about the driver having been on the ship.

"Well boys," their coach started, taking off his hat and rubbing the back of his neck. "I'll see about getting another ship to pick us up. We may have to stay here for the night."

* * *

I had just gotten back from the hospital. My nose was not broken, amazingly enough. Now I was in my room, flashlight in hand, checking under my bed. Just in case.

"Ven, what are you doing?" I jumped, wincing when I hit my head off the frame of my bed. Roxas was staring at me with arms crossed. "There are no monsters under your bed."

My face flushed. "I-I wasn't looking for monsters!" I sulked when the lights came on. "They won't come out with the lights on!"

Roxas sighed and pulled me to my feet. "I was scared too Ven. You're not alone." I blinked at Roxas in disbelief.

"You were scared?" I asked slowly. Roxas was the most serious of us three. He was never scared of anything! He wasn't even scared when our parents died two years ago, leaving us alone in the world. Now that was bravery; though I guess we did have Cloud. Cloud bought us food and other necessities, though we lived alone. But I'm getting off topic.

"Of course. But I can't help but wonder why it came after us." That was Roxas. Always over thinking everything.

"Uh, because we were there?" Roxas didn't seem so sure, but he shrugged and nodded. He wanted to say something else. I could see it in his eyes.

"You're probably right. Now come on; Sora just finished making us lunch." Ah, yes. Food was good. Food made everything better. I nodded and scurried from the room calling out for Roxas to follow. He would probably stand there thinking if I didn't.

I grabbed the salad that had been prepared for me and went to the living room where Sora was watching TV, eating a bowl of Ramen Noodles. We may have been triplets, but we all had our different tastes. I just happened to love the taste of a fresh salad in the afternoon. Sora enjoyed warm meals, anything would do. And Roxas would take anything that was quick and easy. Today, that was a simple bowl of cereal.

"That's not lunch Roxas," Sora mumbled, slurping a string of noodle that was hanging from his mouth. "Besides, we're low on cereal."

"We're out now." Roxas smirked and snatched the remote from Sora, flipping through the channels. Sora scowled, but shrugged it off, turning back to the television.

"Ooh! Cartoons! I wanna watch cartoons!" I called as Roxas flipped by them. He seemed reluctant, but turned back to the cartoon channels and sat the remote aside. Maybe I was a little old for cartoons? Oh well!

The rest of our lunch was uneventful, until the doorbell rang that is. We all sat our bowls down and glanced between one another. This was a game of ours whenever the doorbell or telephone rang: see who could get it first.

Sora jumped up first, but Roxas grabbed his leg and pulled him back down on the couch, jumping up and running by me. I put my leg out and tripped him, laughing when he fell to the floor. I dived overtop him and landed near the doorway to the kitchen. They were both up again, coming after me fast. Before I could think to move, two bodies plowed into me, knocking all three of us to the floor. We were a tangle of limbs, all trying to be the first to get free and get to the door.

The bell rang again. Before I knew it, Sora was free and to the door, a victorious grin on his face. I sulked and Roxas mumbled, "Damn," before Sora opened the door to greet out visitor.

There were three surprising people at our door, one of which was Terra. I don't mean to sound rude, but I just couldn't remember the other two's names. The catcher and first baseman that we were warned about before the game started…yeah, them. Terra's name just stuck out in my head easily for some strange reason.

"We're sorry to bother you," Terra started, rubbing the back of his head. He didn't seem like the type who talked to others very often. "The hotel is full and your coach suggested that we see about staying with you for the night?"

Sora held up a finger. "Uh, one moment?" Terra nodded and looked back at his companions as Sora rushed over to Roxas and me. We whispered amongst one another, not really saying anything coherent, but we mentally came to an agreement. It was scary how we seemed to read each other's minds.

"It's the least we could do," Sora started.

"You three saved our lives," Roxas agreed.

"So the answer's yes!" I smiled brightly and nodded. After all, the house our parents left us was more than big enough to house the extra persons. Sora motioned the three in and closed the door behind them.

"Thanks," Terra mumbled, looking around the kitchen curiously. He turned back to us and gave a small, almost unnoticeable smile. "I figure we should personally introduce ourselves. I'm Terra."

"Yo. I'm Axel," the red head waved a hand nonchalantly, still busying himself with looking around the kitchen, looking at one of the pictures near the door.

"I'm Riku," the previously known 'first baseman' nodded politely. I could see Sora smile widely, though I really didn't know why. Maybe he was happy to have company?

"I'm Sora!" My brother's eyes were glued to Riku, a large smile still in place. Riku gave him a soft smile in turn.

"The name's Roxas." His eyes were looking to the floor uncomfortably. He was always shy with company. Axel's eyes were planted on Roxas firmly and he was grinning. It was kinda weird.

"And I'm Ven!" I gave my sweetest smile and waved. "It's nice to officially meet you." Those blue eyes were on me again. Those beautiful, almost familiar, blue eyes. I shook my head of that thought.

"Roxas, why don't you show them the guest room? I need to see if Cloud can pick some stuff up for us. Especially cereal." Sora crossed his arms. Roxas rolled his eyes and began up the stairs.

"Fine, but I'm sure you could live without cereal!" As our guests followed Roxas up stairs, Sora stuck his tongue out playfully.

"Hey, you okay Ven?" I blinked repetitively and looked at Sora. I guess I zoned out. "I asked if you could get the dishes from the living room and put them in the sink."

"Uh, yeah, okay!" I nodded and hurried to the living room to clean up a little before our visitors could see the slight mess. The house was usually well kept, but we had had a little video game party the night before. We really had some good times together.

I sighed, my mind wandering back to Terra. He seemed to be a nice guy, but so very familiar. I just couldn't remember where I seen him before, or if I'd even come in contact with him before. Feelings like these are something that you shouldn't ignore though.

"I'm sorry about your nose. Are you okay?" I gasped in surprise and turned to Terra once more. He seemed concerned, looking at my bruising nose remorsefully.

"Oh, this? Its fine! It's not broken or anything, just bruised," I assured. "Besides, it wasn't your fault. That bang scared all of us."

"Still…you're sure you're okay?" He seemed so worried about me, which completely shocked me. Terra was practically a stranger to me, one who had save my life, and yet he was still so worried about what he had done? Even if he had broken my nose, I think saving my life was more than enough compensation!

"I'm positive; I'm perfectly fine." Terra gave me a soft smile and nodded, obviously relieved. "And I never got a chance to thank you. You know, for saving me."

His cheeks flushed lightly, and I couldn't help but grin. It was kind of cute! "It was no problem. I couldn't just stand by and let it happen."

"Well, it was very…brave of you." My attention was drawn back to his eyes. Those deep pools of blue. Maybe the sense of familiarity was because his eyes were similar to Sora and Roxas', as well as my own? No, that wasn't it. They were just…I just don't know.

Terra snorted quietly. "Brave? I don't know about that. It was only the natural thing to do. Don't you agree?"

"Y-Yeah, of course!" I tore my gaze away from his and looked to the floor. "Most people wouldn't think so though. As you saw earlier, most people just ran away."

"That was fearing for their lives. Fear will do that to people." Terra ruffled my hair lightly and I blushed lightly.

"You weren't scared?" I asked, my heart sinking. I had been terrified, though I'm pretty sure I already told you all that, right?

"I didn't say that. It's hard not to be afraid when there's a monster towering over you. I just worried more about your brothers and you then I did about myself."

I stared at him in awe. How many people do you know could honestly say they could put their fears aside like that? It was…! My eyes traveled back to meet his, and I was finally able to put out a word to describe them. Much like his line of thinking, those familiar eyes of his could only be described as…perfect.

This was just the beginning of something that none of us could have expected.

Second chapter! Tell me what you think!
