Soren POV
I sat on the hill, yesterday I had cried my eyes out and last night I had a similar dream… what could it possibly mean? I mean I knew that… I didn't have parents… not really… I mean I know that… these thoughts are far too painful… it hurts every time I think of…of… never mind. I stared straight ahead. Link, Zelda, Peach, Mario, Elincia, and… and Ike all stood on the courtyard. I guess it was sort of like a triple date. My vision blurred, I wasn't going to cry again! I'm such a wimp… why do I keep crying! I know I'm not loved! I never have been! And I never will be! I tear fell down my cheek… I'm far too sensitive. I heard footsteps behind me, I turned. Marth and Roy where there… what did they want?
"What do you want?" I snapped as I stood up.
"Okay, listen; we want you to back off. You keep spying on us, and our boy Ike." Marth hissed, his eyes narrowed.
"Are you kidding? How pathetic are you?" I snickered, what was their problem?
"We aren't pathetic, you are. Now leave Ike alone." Roy snapped.
"This is the stupidest conversation I've ever had…"I scoffed, what the hell is their problem?
"Ike is our good friend; we have his best interests at heart." Marth scoffed back.
Oh yeah! Did he befriend you when no one else would! Does he understand every emotion you have! Does he actually treat you like a human! Did he let you cry on his shoulder! NO! NO! NO!!! HE DIDN'T! You assholes have NO right to control him! Of course I didn't say this.
"His best interests? Really and what would those include?"I sneered.
"You're some silly goth boy who doesn't even need him. He's too good for you." Marth chuckled.
I clenched my fists.
"I don't know how to say this but… BACK OFF, IKE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE YOU! HE HATES YOU! HE TOLD US TO TELL YOU THIS!" Roy snapped.
"Your liars!" I whispered.
"We aren't lying Ike would rather spend time with more… sophisticated people. Like Elincia." Marth hissed.
I looked at the ground… Ike was my best… my only… friend… the only one who held out a warm hand in my time of need... I guess. Well maybe I should leave him alone… if that's what he wants.
"I have no idea to what you refer, but I'll keep myself scarce if that's what you want." I sighed lazily.
"Good boy." Roy snickered.
The two jerks smirked as they walked away. Once they were gone I collapsed on the ground, I wasn't doing well. I laid there for hours… I felt every second tick by each time more painful than the last, soon the sun set and I was overtaken by nighttime. I liked it at this hour, it made me feel better. Darkness is one thing I happen to prefer, I sat up and gazed into the night sky… I also seem to wonder. What if my father and mother had kept me? What if I actually knew her? Would she have loved me? Why did she not want me? I looked at the grass; I always wondered why she hadn't wanted me… I understand why he hadn't… he must have hated me. Everyone hates the Branded; he must have hated me with every fiber of his being. He probably chose to get rid of me. But her… would she have loved me? Or did she hate me? All Laguz hate the Branded and she was a Laguz… I bet she hated me; no one has ever loved me… tears escaped from my closed eyes. I wish I had someone. Anyone. Ike used to be there for me, he just understands me… he really understands me; he knew when I was close to tears even though I was hiding it. He was the best friend anyone could have; because of this I know that… I have to…to…let him go.
"I wish… I wish that… that someone…loved me…" I whispered.
By love I mean like family, like a son, like a brother, or like a friend. I want, I need, someone… I started crying, I just can't take this. I buried my face in my hands; a few sobs escaped my lips. I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping to stop the flood of tears… it didn't work. Why am I such a wimp! Why doesn't anyone care! I curled up into a ball on the cold grass as I continued to sob. I cried for a while until I just couldn't anymore, I was in a strange state, dazed really. I was on the brick of sleep when I felt someone pick me up, my eyes were closed and I was too exhausted to open them. I fell asleep quickly, that was the last thing I remember. I opened my eyes, I sat up slowly, I still didn't feel good.
"You okay?" Bowser asked.
"I-im… f-fine…" I whispered.
"You aren't fine actually. You have a fever." Ganondorf sneered, his arms were crossed and he stood next to Bowser.
"What…?" I whispered.
"Last night you fell asleep outside. Or do you not remember? Point is Bowser got worried so I was forced to go find you." Ganondorf grumbled.
"Why…" I mumbled, I laid back down.
"Because he wouldn't quit complaining about how the fourteen year old ran off." Ganondorf replied.
"I'm nineteen…" I whispered, I really didn't feel good.
"I was so worried! You scared me…" Bowser muttered, maybe the stupid turtle cared.
"So this big buffoon told me 'go out and find him' about forty times and I had a headache so I finally agreed. I found you passed out or asleep, take your pick." Ganondorf snorted.
"You didn't have… to come and…get me…" I whispered, I closed my eyes.
"I know, but Kiddo, we did, deal with it." Ganondorf snapped.
"I don't understand you; your such…fools." I chuckled softly.
"Whatever… realize this though, boy, we're the only people who gave a shit about where you were. And that's only because we feel like you're our responsibility you being fourteen and all." Ganondorf sneered.
"Thanks…" was all I managed to whisper before I feel asleep.
And that's it for chapter 3! I'll probably finish chapter 4 sometime to tonight so keep your fingers crossed. Also there's more "Spoilers" regarding Soren's past in the next chapter, so if you haven't played FE:RD and you don't want Soren's back-story spoiled to you then I'd stop reading :D
