Acacia:Sorry this took a while. School started, I missed the whole last week and have to catch up, and lacrosse tryouts this weekend. I also got guitar, I'm trying to get some Final Fantasy cutscenes for AMVs. I have no idea how I'm gonna balance all this out. So the chapters are gonna take a bit longer to post.
Disclaimer: I only own the plot, and the V.A.s and Slayers. The Hybrids I'm not so sure about. Everything else, including the characters, i don't own. But I do own Brianna.
Roxas: Why do we do this disclaimer thing?
Acacia: So people don't think we own the characters or the story they originally came from.
Roxas: Makes sense. But wouldn't people already know that you don't own the story. Yeah, sure, the first chapter. But every chapter, that gets kinda annoying don't ya think?
Acacia: Yeah.
Roxas: Can't wait to see if Wakka survives or not. Hey, wanna make a bet?
Acacia: Really? You wanna make a bet with the person writing the story?
Roxas: Never mind. How is this story gonna turn out?
Acacia: Don't know. So far it's probably gonna have a sad ending, but then again, things might take a turn, and become a happy ending. There's no telling. I pick and choose what happens and see how it effects future chapters. Why do you want to know this?
Roxas: Storytime! *runs away*
-:P-
Sora's POV
"I slipped on a rock, fell into a stream, got hit with a branch, and slipped again and I'm now covered in mud. Yet you guys haven't even knocked a hair outta place, how is that possible?" I complained.
"Maybe 'cause you're clumsy." Kairi said, starting to walk backward.
"Quit complaining. We've only been out here for a couple of hours." Namine said. Right now, we're out in the woods, and Namine is taking us to a place perfect for training. So far, I'm getting the memo that we're lost.
"Are you sure that you know where we're going?" I asked.
Namine stopped and looked around, "Um... Uh... Okay I don't know where we are or which way's back!"
"WHAT! You have gotta be fuckin' us!" Both me and Kairi screamed together.
"Sorry, I'm not. The way out might be this way." She pointed in a random direction. Okay, fine, we'll follow you. But if we have to spend the night out here, it's your fault.
Namine started off and we followed. We walked two yards and the next thing we know, we're hanging fifty feet in the air, all in a net. Why am I always on the bottom of the pile? "Get your asses off me. Namine, your fault."
Roxas's POV
It's an hour 'til lights out and they're not back yet. I should go look for them, my fever is gone. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, and put on jeans and a tee. I took a flashlight since it was getting dark. Sora did say that they were gonna hang out in the forest today, and I think they went into the North part of the woods. Hope I'm right. The school campus was surrounded by a large forest, and nobody really knows what's in there. If nobody knows what's in there, why hang there? I stepped in front of the forest entrance, stared into the trees, and continued forward.
A warm breeze rustled the leaves, and only a couple of the sun's remaining rays made it through the leaves. I was thirsty. Why didn't I bring any water? I noticed a creek to my right. I went over to drink. That's a funny shape in the mud. Hey! Isn't that Kairi's wayfinder! I picked up the star shaped good luck charm. "Yeah, this is Kairi's. Looks like I'm on the right track."
Kairi's POV
I sighed. My foot was caught somewhere in the top of the net; Sora couldn't move 'cause my head was on his stomach with my shoulders pushing into his side, pushing him into Nam, and his pants were caught on the bottom; Namine's hair got intertwined with the side of the net, her feet jamming into Sora's arm. The net was a bit small for three teenagers. "Did anybody bring a phone with them? I forgot mine." Nam asked.
We checked our pockets. "Sorry."
"Hey, has anyone seen my wayfinder?"
Roxas's POV
"Hey!" I yelled through the forest. The first stars were starting to show. I turned on the flashlight.
"Excuse me mister, I was wondering if you could show me the way out of these woods." a soft voice said behind me. I turned to see a little girl with black hair, brown eyes, a light blue dress, and only came up to my hip.
"Sorry, I kinda lost my way too." I said, bending down to her height.
"That's alright! We could be lost together."
I smiled, "I'm Roxas. What's your name?"
"Brianna."
"Okay Brianna, I came in here looking for my friends. Have you seen them?" Brianna shook her head. "Will you help me then?" she nodded. "Come on then." I took her by the hand and led her across the river. She skipped by my side. How did a little girl end up in a place like this? I actually became so lost in my mind I ran into a tree. Brianna giggled. I would've cussed then, but I kept my language clean for Brianna's sake.
Another thirty minutes went by and no luck. I sighed. We found ourselves in front of a cave. "Can we take a break?" Brianna asked.
I was about to say no when I stopped myself. She's just a little kid. "Alright, but only a short one. Five minutes." Brianna smiled and ran into the mouth of the cave. I followed her lead and sat down on a shallow ledge.
"You know Roxas, I'm hungry!" Brianna said, but the kid voice was replaced by a hissing sounding kind of thing. I looked over to see that Brianna's skin had dried and wrinkled, her eyes had turned red, and her teeth looked like shark teeth. I started to back out of the cave. She charged.
I put my arms in front of my face and closed my eyes. When she hit, she didn't hit me. I opened my eyes to see two keyblades in my hands. Where'd these come from? That didn't matter right now. I knew that they're weapons, so I started to defend myself.
Brianna knocked the blade out of my hands. Surprisingly, it went high and far, and it came back.
Namine's POV
We screamed. One moment we were hanging there, the next we're falling. We stopped and tumbled onto the ground, all except for Kairi, who's foot was still stuck. Me and Sora moved quick to get her out of that. Then we started to go south, where the blade had come from.
We got to where Roxas was. There was a bite on his arm, then I saw what he was fighting. A demon! I pulled out the gun I brought with me, took careful aim, and fired. The bullet made its way to the demon's arm. Roxas looked over in my direction, frightened. Sora and Kairi drew their keyblades and charged. Roxas went back to the fight. I could see he was getting weaker, the demon's venom was taking its toll.
I didn't realize what I was doing until I had already taken him out of the battle and started working on his arm. "Namine! What's going on?" he asked me. I finished and he ran back into battle.
"Why doesn't the vampire assassin join the party?" the demon taunted.
"Vampire... Assassin?" Roxas looked at me, confused. I pulled out my favorite dagger. It had the stonetouch. I jumped in and turned her to stone quickly.
Sora and Kairi's blades disappeared, and Roxas followed their example, even though he had two. "What was that? What is a vampire assassin? Why didn't you tell me?" Roxas was yelling.
"That was a demon. The name says what it is. We didn't tell you to protect you." I told Roxas truthfully.
"Really. I'm not sure if I could trust you guys after this." Roxas said that coldly, and something inside me snapped. I didn't know what to do, but that, out of all I've been through, hurt the most.
We eventually found our way back to the school. As we parted ways, I cast a painful glance at Roxas, his eyes were hard and emotionless. I love him, but that secret was a hard blow to him. Why me?
Roxas: Wow. That was dramatic. Wouldn't you say so Acacia?
*Acacia asleep on the couch*
Roxas: Oh well. She needs it. C ya next time! Don't forget to review!
