Soul

Chapter 4

The questions I have asked

The curiosity of my mind

Have been answered

And unveiled

The world coming to an end

Unless it is stopped

I will be stuck with the kind of Darkness

For all eternity

But I know

I must stop it now

But there is one thing lingering in my mind

What happens

NOW?

Chapter 4

Everyone stared at me. I froze, I knew this stuff was far-fetched, but after everything I have gone through in the past week, I could believe this. "So, my real parents were murdered, I have unknown power(s), and I possibly will be trapped with the King of Darkness forever if we don’t stop him?" I asked, getting it all straight. Toshiro stalled for a minute, maybe trying to think of a way to put it nicely, but obviously couldn’t find a way, so he just nodded. It was quiet for a moment, and I couldn’t handle this anymore. I needed to be alone. "I’m going to my room, or some room. I… I just want to think this all out for a bit." I almost whispered, trying to control my shaky voice. This all scared me. I was just 18 years old, and I have to practically save the world soon. Was this some joke? I slowly got up, and left the room. I need to get out of here. I need to get or find something sane. I am starting to get sick of this madness.

After a minute of silence, Drake spoke up," Well that’s a little fucked up." I nodded in agreement, Toshiro didn’t respond. I almost felt bad for this girl. Man, I didn’t even ask what her human name is, or whatever, how am I supposed to call out for her if I have to look for her? Just yell out,’ hey girl! Where are you? Come here girlie-girl! Come here!’ like a dog or something? That sounded faggy. Obviously no one would want that but if you had no choice, it is better than nothing. I didn’t know what to do now. What happens next? "So," I said to Toshiro," what happens now? Do you know how long we have? And how are we going to figure out her powers?" Toshiro, looked like he didn’t exactly know. "She’s going to have to find out for herself. That’s the only way it looks like." It was only then when I realized that Alex wasn’t in the room anymore. Where the hell was he? "I am going to go find Alex." No one said anything to stop me, so I just left. I unclamped my wings, and flew out of the hallway, into the center of the building. I went to for him, in his room.

I flew down to the 5th floor, and opened the first door on the left, that was red, and had a fake diamond as his door knob. I opened his room, and sure enough he was in there, but he was doing something he has never done, well when I see him at least. READ. Not that he was an idiot or anything but, it was weird to me. Which he was doing right now, before my eyes. "What are you reading? And why?" I asked, leaning against the door frame. He looked up," Since I heard about what is happening to her and what she is, I did research on legends of the King of Darkness, and what the last Soul would be, look like, powers, and the powers are unknown." He said to me. I nodded and walked in the room, and shut the door. I sat beside him on his bed seeing what he was reading. Then a thought came to my head, he already knew about this? "First before anything, how did you know about this before he talked to us?" I asked. "I overheard it when I was going to my room on the first night. He was talking to himself which has never happened before." That somehow makes sense. "This book is the story/legend of the King of Darkness, and this other one," he picked up a royal blue, hard back, book, the color of the title was in gold lettering,’ The Last Soul’ these are the only things in the world that have any information about the Last Soul and the King of Darkness." he flipped to a page, and underlined with his finger,"’ the last soul is description is almost impossible to say. We know it will be a woman of great beauty, inside and out. She will be unpredictable, gentle, yet fierce. Fierce as fire, yet, calm like gentle waves in water, and a great leader. Her true power will show in battle, and the greatest power comes out if she loses something she loves. If she does, her power will be almost invincible. The thing she loves doesn’t mean it will be dead if it is living; it could be from a broken heart, tortured inside of her, because it was harmed in any way, what’s so ever, or it could be from a problem, were it ether was, or was not, caused by her, and the greatest guilt, and sorrow preforms before her. It may also be a realization of failing revenge or a goal, it can also possibly from the realization that she is totally alone, and/or that she is powerless to protect those whom she cares and loves. This amazing power isn’t described, but well known. And, will be the way to save humanity itself, when the King of Darkness arises, to try and take away our world, and the human world. The human world will be first." Alex looked at me and said," I will tell Toshiro about this, and come back to find you later. Okay? Just hang out in your bedroom or something." With that, I left, getting a feeling that Alex wanted to be alone.

I dragged my feet to the very last step; I was on the highest floor. There was only a small, box-like thing on the 14th floor. I sat, my legs dangling down. I was 140ft. in the air. If I jumped, who knew what would happen. I have some magical power right? So maybe it would help me figure it out. I majorly thought about this, and thought about how fast, or how slow I would fall. I put my hands on the edge of the stair case, to make me go farther. Why was I doing this and considering it? I don’t know.

I didn’t want to go to my room, so I was going to go to a random floor. I just made it to the 9th floor, when I saw the girl on the edge of the last stair of the stair case. Suddenly, I had some flash back.

"But don’t you want to try to learn to fly?" a boy asked

"But, but! It looks scary!" the girl said

"It’s okay," the boy smiled

"We’ll do it together!" he grabbed the girl’s hand

She smiled," Yeah! Let’s go!"

"3…2…1… JUMP!"

We jumped down from the 14th floor. And the boys baby wings spread out, but they weren’t big enough to fly with two kids. He had struggled to keep them both from falling .

"I’m scared!" the girl bawled

"I won’t let you fall!" the boy told her, as he struggled to keep her up

I shook my head with my hands on the sides of my head. I felt my pupils grow large. It came again.

The girl’s hand slipped.

"AY!!" she screamed, falling down.

"!!!" The boy shouted the girl’s name back, trying to control my own weight with flying, and go to get her. He wasn’t fast enough; he was actually losing control of my own flight.

About half way to the ground something happened.

She stopped falling; in fact, the boy stopped moving, he didn’t understand why. Then, she started moving upwards to him. Like she was trying her hardest to climb air, she wasn’t able to move hardly at all. And the boy was slowly starting to get back into motion. Their hands were about to meet, she was only a few feet away from his small arms grasp. Her eyes turned an indescribable purple, and the boy was able to move freely, it seemed the world had stopped. She was falling again though, and starting to fall faster. "NO!" he screamed.

"What’s happening to me?!" I asked myself, aloud. The scenes kept flooding in, but it felt like needles were going into my head as the scenes continued.

The boy had caught her in his arms, and crash landed against the stair case that went around a stone wall. The boy taking the impact. Her eyes had returned to normal. She gave one more smile," Promise me," she said in the smallest voice, it was almost a whisper," that you will always save me," she took a shaky breath in, " Ay" she breathed quickly, as if she was having a hard time to even take a small breath.

For some reason, I felt like something like this happened to me in the past before. I didn’t understand why though. I took a breath in, which felt even more like I had done the exact same thing before.

Scales and patterns of black were covering, and spreading onto her whole body, just before her whole body was covered, she said one last thing," I love you, Awen." Her body was fully covered in the mysterious marks, the only thing not covered in marks were tiny white wings that the boy had just noticed. The girl had disappeared from the boys hands. "…?" the boy said her name, confused.

"!!!!" the boy screamed her name.

The memory was over, and the pain was over to. I could finally understand what the boy had said at the end of the scene. "That girl… had looked exactly like…" I looked up, and yelled,

I had pushed off; front flipping into the air, and then falling, laying on my back. Someone yelled. I turned my head to the side, and saw Aiden. I started seeing things flash before me, like a slow movie. Aiden and his wings, coming from above, trying to grab me, trying to save me. Then the movie-like memory started. I saw Aiden, his body now, and then as a kid, and the motions and way he moved, was the exact thing the kid did. I started seeing memories. When I was I kid with him. "Aiden…" Everything coming that had happen when I was a kid had come back to me, "AIDEN!" I screamed. I reached for his hand, as he had reached for mine. And as our hands grasped each other, our eyes meeting, I knew that something was up.
