Chapter Five – I Hate Wood (The Cute Redhead)
Bradin's POV
I could literally feel how huge my eyes were right now. I wasn't even sure if I heard all of those. I felt like I was chained to a wall and he was chained next to me and bored out of his freakin mind. HOW IS SOMEONE ABLE TO ASK SO MANY QUESTIONS SO FAST!?
I blinked at him, he was STILL going. How was I supposed to answer these!? So, remember how I'd been sorta freaked out by his red eyes? Yeah, well, I wasn't anymore! All I saw in them now was IMMENSE child-like wonder, definitely not even close to evil.
Why does your hair stick up like it's defying gravity!? That question suddenly echoed through my mind. Needless to say... I burst out laughing.
I vaguely heard Justin stutter and then trail off, running out of steam. That was possible!? I continued laughing. I covered my mouth, trying to stifle my laughter. "I-I'm sorry..." I tried to get out through the laughs "I just th-that... one question..."
Justin was continuously blinking at me, his red eyes wide. I kinda felt bad now. But I mean I couldn't help it! Wouldn't you laugh too if someone asked that!?
I finally calmed down and took a couple breaths. "I'm sorry, Justin. Your one question about my hair just kind've... yeah..." I said with an amused smile.
"Oh... but it's defying the laws of physics! It doesn't make sense, I was curious." He said, looking down.
"You're ALWAYS curious!" Damas said, between laughs.
I couldn't help but chuckle at that. "No offense... how am I supposed to answer everything you asked me?" I asked.
"I...um...I asked rapid fire questions again, didn't I?" He said, looking over at Damas, who was still laughing but managed to nod. "Oops."
I chuckled more at that. "If you ask them a little slower, I'll gladly answer them for you." I told him.
"I'm sorry I ju~" He was cut off by the house suddenly shaking. What the hell was going on!?
"Daddy! Why's the house shaking!?" The little girl asked, freaking out.
"I'm not sure, bumblebee..." Danny said, worriedly.
"EARTHQUAKE!" A young boy suddenly screamed.
What's an Earthquake!?
"What's an Earthquake?" Justin immediately asked, voicing my thoughts for me, blatantly curious.
Danny didn't have time to answer (and that one WASN'T rapid fire) because we suddenly heard a roar from what sounded like a large animal.
Damas looked out the window. "Whatever an Earthquake is... this isn't it. Metal heads." He said
The child-like wonder vanished from Justin's face and he whipped out his staff. (He has a staff? Cool.) I couldn't help but wonder what a metal head was. I noticed Damas and Justin charging out the door so I followed suit, summoning my Keyblades on the way.
Once outside all I saw was a HUGE dinosaur thing. That's a metal head? Holy crap. Damas and Justin had already begun attacking it so I shook my thoughts away and began helping.
Damas must've noticed me helping because he called out a warning to me. "When it explodes, DO NOT touch the floating purple orbs! These are highly toxic."
I didn't really know what he was referring too but I just nodded and called back, "Alright!" I guess I was gonna find out.
These things were relentless and it wasn't just one. There was that really big one and a BUNCH of smaller ones. Didn't I tell you how fun this day was? We continuously attacked them when I noticed someone with bright red hair sprinting by, a camera case bouncing around their neck. I glanced over real quick and noticed a few smaller ones chasing after her.
Crap! I thought. I wanted to get them off of her but I was kinda surrounded. I attacked the ones around me, being as fast and precise as I could. Suddenly, I saw the girl trip, without even thinking I flung Flickering Flames at the few chasing her. It spun over, taking most of them out ( thankfully, why didn't I think of this a minute ago?).
I slashed at another one close to me. How many of these things were there? And just WHERE were they even coming from? Once free of the ones near me, I summoned Flickering Flames back to me and shot over to where she was now, cornered, swinging a 2 by 4 around wildly. Oh for the love of all world travelers!
Once I started getting close enough to take out the ones near her a sudden sharp pain coursed through my back. She'd HIT ME with the freaking 2 by 4! I gritted my teeth at the pain, pushing it away and went after the metal heads near us just as she exclaimed "Oh my god, I am SO sorry!"
I shook my head. "It's alright, self-defense." I said.
"Still." She mumbled, I sighed. By this point, I was kind've fed up with these things so I lit the tip of Flickering Flames and torched the ones remaining near us.
"Damn things." I said, slightly annoyed. At least they weren't heartless.
I desummoned my Keyblades and turned to make sure the girl was alright. "Hey are you..." I trailed off when seeing her clutching the 2 by 4 to her chest, pressed into the wall and watching me with huge, pale blue eyes. "What?" I asked.
"Wh - wh - what was that!?" She said, pointing with the 2 by 4. If I hadn't jumped back, she'd hit me... again. This woman was HIGHLY dangerous with wood.
"What was what?" I asked lost.
"The-the fire thing!?" She said, waving the wood around in that direction. I just watched it. "How'd you do that?" She added.
"I um... know how to use magic..." I said.
"Oooookay..." She said, dropping the wood to her side. Thank god!
Suddenly, another girl shot over to where we were. The first girl swung that damn piece of wood again at the second girl. (I really need to learn names, this isn't working. Confused yet? I am.)
The girl with raven-black hair... became see through? WHAT!? But the wood passed through her harmlessly ALMOST hitting me... AGAIN! So I jumped back... again. I FREAKING HATE WOOD!
The cute redhead blinked and FINALLY dropped the wood. Holy crap!? The worlds are saved now! Or at least I AM! "Lilith!" She exclaimed, hugging her once she became un-see through again.
"Mel! Are you okay!?" Lilith asked.
"Yeah, thanks to..." She trailed off and turned towards me.
"Bradin." I said.
"Oh, thank you..." She said, "Why are you so far back?"
"Oh um..." I shrugged.
Danny Jr. came over, looking genuinely pissed off. Was it something I said? Something his parents said? I was lost... again. (Man that happens a lot.)
"Hey, Melody. Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, thanks to Bradin." She said, giving him the same answer she gave Lilith.
As innocent as that comment was... I noticed a deep scowl cross his features. What did I do!?
"Oh. Well that's good, I'm glad you're okay." He said, seeming to keep a tight control of his voice.
Melody seemed confused. She wasn't the only one. "Are you okay?" She asked, genuine worry in her tone.
"Perfect." He added shortly, walking off. I glared after him, that was no way to talk to a woman! She hadn't even done anything wrong!
Melody seemed taken aback by that comment. She looked over at Lilith, even more confused. Lilith only shrugged in response. I wondered if it would be wrong to go over and chew him out about that. I sighed, maybe it would be.
Danny Sr. (I'm about to refer to his son as Daniel.) flew over then, just as Damas and Justin came over. Danny Sr. seemed to be confused about something. (Was everyone getting confused today?) I wondered what it was about.
"Hey Damas..." He asked suddenly.
"Yeah?" Damas replied.
"Um... any clue how the metal heads got here?" He asked.
"I was just wondering that myself."

Sam: Fin!
Mary: I love Justin. He's so fun to write.
Sam: EVEN though this is Bradin's chapter. Which is a ton of fun in itself. –Grins-
Mary: Yeah but the beginning of this was only funny because of the end of Justin's last chapter.
Sam: Oh whatever. Bradin's little side thoughts are amusing. Hehe.
