Chapter 2- Monotonous

Kairi's POV:

Life was useless. Every day was the exact same copy of the other. Woke up, got changed, fed my girl, drove her to school and then went to work. I painted. I spent my days in a lovely drawing room, my own studio, painting dark pictures. Depressing ones. My older sister had taught me how to draw when I was five. There was a big painting of her in my room. She was three years older than me. She had disappeared mysteriously one day. Nobody has ever seen her again. Roxas had been crushed, he had liked her even though she was older. She used to babysit the Strife brothers and me. Those had been good days. I would draw rainbows and kids stuff. Not anymore, now my paintings were black and white, with red splashed over. BLOOD. I have never let Sky into my gallery in fear she would see the way I expressed my feelings. Black, White, Red. Darkness, Shade.

Life for me was useless without him. Life for me was monotonous.

I turned my stretch pad to a white page. I stretched him, I stretched myself, I stretched our daughter. I named the painting: MONOTONOUS.

Sora's POV:

It was not her. I knew as soon as the woman got close enough to get a good look, her hair was light brown, her eyes were brown as well. I sighed in disappointment. This was the child's mother, something inside me went down at the thought that this wonderful girl was not… OK. I would not finish that thought. "Sweetie, What have we said about talking to strangers?" The little girl looked up. The source of innocence in the flesh. Something inside me stirred and I had the crazy desire of taking her in my arms. Her little jaw suddenly set. "This is not a stranger, teacher" she looked at me, smiled and then turned back to the teacher with a frown. "This is my daddy" In a flash, a succession of images of a certain someone doing the same thing this little girl had done, came to me. I opened my eyes wide. The teacher (Uff, what a relief she's not that woman's daughter) Misunderstood the way my eyes popped out like two plates and took the girls hands to lead her away. "Wait!" I called. "Can I know her name?" I asked the woman. She frowned at me. "Please?"I said. It sounded miserable even to my own ears. She looked startled and nodded. I looked to the little girl and lowered myself to the ground. "Can I?" She smiled and shook her head no. "Not today" she said simply and turned around to walk away. When she was like fifteen feet away from me she turned around again and said in her soft angelic voice: "Mommy is still waiting for you." After a pause. "Daddy" With that she was gone leaving her words to haunt my dreams. It is needless to say, that night I didn't slept at all.

Kairi's POV.

I took the original sketch into sake keeping and model another one. I changed myself so the buyers wouldn't think it was actually me. Few people knew I had a daughter, least of all how she looked like or that her dad had vanished three years ago.

So there it was: Monotonous, him, Sky and a girl with brown reddish hair and purple eyes. She looked like me if you studied it close otherwise not. I put everything away and stepped out of my safe heaven. "Time to pick up the angel." I whispered to no one at all and smiled to myself.

~~~~S.K.S.~~~~

"Hi, mommy-cakes!" That name always brought a smile to my face. "Hi sweetie" she opened her eyes wide and stated bluntly: "That's how daddy calls me mommy-cakes, you'll need to call me something else." I just started at her. What had gotten into my little child's head? Just then Aerith decided to call me aside. She hugged me and then related what the child had been up to today. "There was a man sitting on a bench and she went straight to him. They talked and I saw the man's face reflect pure horror and I was scared so I rushed there and tried to take her away and the most amazing thing was she told me he was no stranger. She told me it was her daddy." She stopped searching my face. But I was expressionless. No emotion showed on my face. Just some earnest on my eyes, which she caught, that lead her on: "The guy seemed kind of rejected and I don't know what. Then he demands to know her name. I could do nothing but nod. He proceeds to go to his knees to ask her. You know what the lad answered? She said no! So calmly I felt my mouth hang open. Just like that: "Not today". She grabbed my hand and led me away. ten feet after she turned around and said: "She is still waiting for you, daddy" With that we were gone" After that my day was a haze I don't remember anything that happened. Just what sky told me before going to sleep "I love you mommy… I love daddy too, wait for him… he'll…" she felled asleep.

He'll find you. That's what she was going to say:

He'll find you.

OH MY! I forgot to tell you that Silver just told me kind of the ending and I am soooooooooo exited I really hope that you enjoy it as much as I am. =D So review so I can get inspired and exited to continue. =D
