I heard footsteps. My eyes shot open. It was morning. I closed my eyes and hope that whoever was here would go away. The footsteps stopped.
"Hey,are you alive?" a voice said softly. I stayed silent,until I got poked with a stick.
"OWIE!" I yelled,jumping up. I skittered to the corner,pointing the stick at the girl in the room. She had long platinum blonde hair and dark green eyes. She wore a blood red t-shirt,a black denim jacket,blue jeans,and dark blue Nikes.
"Hi!" she said casually.
"Uhh,hi?"
"What's your name?"
I blinked. Who does this girl think she is? "That depends. Do you work for the cops? The government? Some secret clan of highly-skilled ninja freerunners?"
"No,no,and I wish."
"My name is Erin."
"Taylex."
"Your a Nobody?" I asked.
"Yeah." she said,reluctantly.
"So am I."
"You must be one of those 'complex' gens." she she muttered,looking away. There was an awkward silence.
"Um,how old are you?"
"Uhh," she said,thinking. "Fourteen. I think."
"Me too. Well, I know I'm fourteen."
"Why are you up here?" she asked me.
"There are these weird people after me for whatever reason."
"Same." she muttered. "Dressed in black? One was evil,and another was a nerd?"
"Yeah! They're after you,too?"
She nodded. "They call themselves 'Shinra'."
"Did someone call us?"
Our heads turned to the door. The Shinra people were standing right there.
"HANDS UP!" they yelled,pointing guns at us. We froze,putting our hands in the air.
"YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE!" I yelled. He put a gun to my face.
"I always say that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence." he said.
"What?"
"Simply because you don't have evidence that something does exist does not mean you have evidence of something that doesn't exist."
"What?"
"What country are you from?"
"W-what?"
" 'What' ain't no country I've heard of! Do they speak English in 'What'?"
"What?"
"ENGLISH STUPID! Do you speak it?"
"Yeah."
"So you understand the words I'm saying to you!"
"Yeah."
"Well, what I'm saying is that there are known knowns and that there are known unknowns. But there are also unknown unknowns; things we don't know that we don't know."
"What?"
He nearly lost it. "SAY WHAT AGAIN! SAY WHAT AGAIN! I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE DARE YOU, STUPID! SAY WHAT ONE MORE TIME!"
"GIN!" the leader yelled. "Back away from the mutant!"
My eye twitched. "M-mutant?" I tried to run towards him. Taylex was holding me back.
"LET ME COME OVER THERE AND SHOW YOU WHAT A TRUE MUTANT LOOKS LIKE!" I threatened.
"There is no possible way for you to escape." he cooed. "Your surrounded."
I smirked. "Oh? Really?"
"Yeah."
Taylex and I went to the window. No helicopters,but there were cars surrounding us.
"Do you trust me? I have a plan." I whispered to Taylex. She nodded.
I sighed. "Oh,if only I were able to fly." I said sarcasticly. I unfurled my wings jumped on the open widowsill,grabbed Taylex's wrist and flew.
"MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS THROUGH!" I yelled,flying away. We finally made it to the rooftop of a large building. Taylex looked at me.
"Y-you have wings?"
"And a keyblade!" I said,summoning it. She stared at the keyblade. She looked down at the street and gasped.
"Erin! Take me down there!"
