Turning Point
"Nobody and heartless?" My eyebrows crooked in puzzlement, but soon faded as I thought about those two words.
He leaned up to the table and straightened up his back with a sigh; he spoke as if he was talking to himself. "Shouldn't they be teaching this to kids now-a-days?" I huffed from that comment and gazed in my seat with mild annoyance and confusion stirring my nerves. "I'm not a kid…" He chuckled. "Huh-you don't need to get your nose out a joint," I felt him smile. I looked up. "But, besides that, I have heard of them."
"Well, that's good to know, which means I don't need to explain as much." He shifted in his chair and laid his hands on the table with a pleased smile. I curved a brow up. "Explain what exactly, there's more?" He sighed with reluctance. "Well, you might as well know since your telling me so much about yourself and in return, I should tell you who I really am…"
'Eh? Who he really is?' My heart was on edge. The atmosphere of the room turned to a feeling of worry building up between the two of us, which I hoped would pass soon after his brief talk about himself. He seemed somewhat hesitant to tell me with his face filled with uncertainty. He broke the silence.
"I'm a nobody."
'A nobody?' My mind stirred to the knowledge that my father once told me about. "A nobody…I've heard of that."
"Good, so you should understand what I'm saying then." He turned his face the other way. "I have no heart and you know what my mission is? It's to find my heart." What was coming out of his mouth was unbelievable to me. Was he really a nobody? I couldn't believe him.
"But, how could that be?" My muscles jumped in my seat. "I mean, it seems to me you can display emotions and-and-"
"Well that's the idea," he interrupted my stuttering accusation while standing on his two feet. "We do that in order to feel more human than emotionless people."
"But still…" My mind just couldn't get around that spine-chilling fact that he was a nobody, someone who isn't human. "But…but…"
"Okay just listen," he said as he came up to me with irritation in his voice. "Okay, you know that nobodies are beings without a heart. They lose that heart when a heartless takes it and therefore are emotionless beings." I nodded in agreement. "So when that happens, the person can turn into one of two types of nobodies," he said pointing two fingers in the air. "Depending on the strength of the person's heart, if it is weak, the person turns into a dusk and loses many aspects of its human characteristics. If the heart is strong, the being keeps its human appearance, but has minor changes to their look and turns emotionless, like myself." I knew what he is saying was true.
'But should he be somewhere else?' "Huh…that's true, but if you are a nobody, should you be in another world?" He crossed his arms with a grin. "That is a good question. Nobodies, like myself, have inhuman powers if they can awaken it from within." He paused. "I can travel from world to world by using a tunnel of darkness, called the 'corridor of darkness'. "Corridor of darkness?"
He stepped back and turned to wave his hand. Up came a billow of black smoke that swirled a cloudy texture up to his height with a dull blue color in the middle; it reminded me of darkness that I've seen before. My jaw dropped in shock of what he was saying was true. I was having an encounter with an inhuman being, a nobody. I surpassed the fright that came up in my chest, but just sat still, not knowing what to do or say at that point.
"Scarred?" he said with a nonchalant attitude. "No!" I gave in to a clamor. "I'm not scarred-why should I be?" 'I wasn't going to make him think that I was scarred of a person like him. Thinking he was all cool just because he brought a puffy cloud of darkness in here.' But even though my heart lacked settlement, I didn't feel I had to be afraid either way.
"Hmph good!" he began. "You don't have to be scarred anyway." The dark cloud dispersed in thin air. I closed my eyes sighing of air, while pressing my hands against my knees.
'Now that brings it home…' "Now you truly convinced me." I stood up off the chair, holding my arms behind my back. "It's better to show then tell anyway." Before he could open his mouth I interrupted. "Well, I guess I should say that I'm sorry for the lost of your heart. My head lowered slightly waiting for a response.
"Yeah thanks, but you don't have to worry about that either." I looked up to see him scratching his head, having an anxious look on his face. "I'll find it sooner or later." His mouth turned up into a mild grin. My eyes scanned his face and found uncertainty in his green eyes; though he tried to conceal them, I took notice. 'Hmm…he must be eager for his heart. Of course he is…does he have any help? Does he need any help?' Obviously for myself, I felt a feeling of concern for him; he lost his friends and his heart. It must be hard for him, but he said that he couldn't feel emotions. For some reason, I had a gut feeling he had some type of emotions in him that they could be displayed if he did something that might make them come out. It's only a thought though, besides, he did get on my nerves times before with those smirks of his.
I twinkled a grin at him. His eyebrows curved adding a confused smile in. "What?"
"Well, even though you have no heart, it still seems to me that you can display at least a little emotion." I turned away waiting for his answer. "Well like I said, that's what nobodies pretend to do."
"Yeah well," I looked down at the table still grinning. "I believe that you can still produce even a little of emotion, somewhere deep inside in your soul," I said, twisting my body pointing to where his heart should be. My feet walked backward as my hand searched for the table to place itself to support my weight. He chuckled slightly and rolled his eyes, turning his head away."Sure, whatever you say miss-know-it-all."
"Hum-hmm!" My head sunk. "And I was sorta' thinking." I brought my head up and saw him looking at me with his hands on his hips with his mouth partly open. My legs stood up. "How about I help you out, y'know with your mission?" His curious mien turned up to the ceiling with his body shaking of laughter. "Ha ha ha ha!" I gazed at his laughing get-up and stood with my eyebrows stitched together. 'He's not taking me seriously…'
"What? I'm serious; I want to help you out!" By this time he was hunched over, so he looked up and stood with his arms crossed. "It's all right kid," he said with his shaking simpering stance. "I got it covered."
My arms crossed with a huff. "I am not a kid! I'm eighteen Years old you know…well almost, but that doesn't matter. I still want to help!" His head went down with a sigh of complexity. "Well, lets say I did take you." He looked up with a smirk. "Hypothetically speaking of course; I would have to protect and look out for you and all of that baby-sitting stuff. I mean your nothing but a babe in the woods. I'll rather not go through looking out for someone who might get in my way."
"Huhhh I won't get in your way! Just because I'm a babe in the woods, it doesn't mean I can't figure things out on my own!"
"Hmm, well what about your mission huh?" He stepped one foot forward with his eyes looking down on me like he was the dominant one. My head turned to the side, feeling my heart heavy with unpleasantness. "Well, If I go with you to help you out, not only will I be helping you, but also myself." He raised his brow. "Yourself?" I turned to face him. "Yeah, if I go with you, I'll have more experience with knowing the different worlds and such."
"Ha! So you got your own motives?" He cocked his head to the side. "Well, so…we'll be helping each other out anyway!" He looked down on me with a pause. My toes raised themselves to heighten myself with him waiting for a response. He rested a finger on his chin, knowing I can never level up with him. "Y'know searching for a heart is no bed of roses." He leaned forward with a smug grin, which made me lessen myself into backing up against the chair behind me. My arms crossed with my own form of a smile. "Please," I waved my hand in midair with haughtiness. "I love challenges, besides; it seems you have been searching your heart for a while."
"Huh-how would you know?" He straightened himself with wonder. "Mmmm, I don't know-I guessed."
"Well, you figured right." He sighed. "It feels likes it's been forever." I sat down in the wooden chair behind me and crossed my fingers together in question. "How long exactly?" He turned his head. "Almost three years," he said with the voice of distress. I looked down with a grin. "Yeah…you really are in need of help."
"Be quiet!"
"Both of us I might add. So, will you let me come along?" My head rose to see his eyebrows curved with his lips pursed. There was a small pause in the room where everything felt still; my heart beat with anticipation hoping he would allow me to accompany him. "Hmm…let's see, you want to find your sister and I want to find my heart. You want to help me out though. It's strange how you would put a stranger before your sister. I gulped. 'It is sorta' weird, but it's for a good cause.' He placed his finger on his chin again with stitched eyebrows and gave way to an answer in less than a minute. "I guess…it's only fair to help you find your sister if you help me find my heart." My eyes lighted. 'Does that mean…?'
He looked down sighing with thin keenness. "Huh…fine you can come along to help and I'll help you find your sister." He looked up with a wide grin and narrowed eyes. "You scratch my back and I scratch yours. You do seem to be able to handles things by the way you carry yourself." My heart felt lifted as I jumped up with happiness. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" I punched the air with a smiling demeanor. 'I can't believe this was happening. I'll be able to search worlds and find my sister, not to mention finding the heart of a nobody. What an awesome adventure this will be!' I started to begin to do my victory dance which required a lot of silly movement when I remembered who was in the room with me. I opened my eyes and turned around and saw the redhead simpering, looking amazed at what he was looking at. My body was halfway twisted with my arms bent in the air with my hands in fists. I turned towards him feeling goofy and embarrassed with my cheeks warm. "Ah…you didn't see nothing." He just shook his head with amusement. My hands held themselves behind my back as I walked up to him with a big smile. My eyes stared at his tall structure.
"Thanks stalker-boy; I wouldn't have never known you could offer so much." I had a feeling of moderation towards him that I wanted to give him a hug of thanks, but that would be awkward and weird for the both of us. He waved his hand. "Don't mention it." He then pointed his finger at me. "And the names not stalker-boy, it's Axel." He raised his finger to his forehead and tapped it. "Got it memorized?" I raised an eyebrow at him with my arms crossed. "Ugh, do you always say that?" I said grunting with a huff. He put his hands on his hip and leaned forward. "What do you think?"
"Hmph, well my name is Deonna," I said with a small grin. He nodded his head with a rather happy conduction of himself. "Well now that we know each other…" He then turned and went to open my refrigerator that was on the left side of the kitchen near the door. "What do you got in here I'm starving! Got any Ice cream?" My body shifted from the feeling of cheerfulness to the feeling of annoyance as I furrowed my eyebrows. "Hey, just 'cause your welcome in my home doesn't mean you get to snoop around in my food!" My feet ran up to him trying to get him out of my fridge.
