Soul

Chapter 5

was blocked

A wall in front of me

A dead end in the maze

Because of that

I have a different thing happen

What was going on?

My life

My memories

They all make sense

But why is there this wall in the way?

Deep down

Inside my heart

I know something was missing

I wanted

Is to be held

In a sweet embrace

Once Again.

Chapter 5

Aiden pulled me up, once our hands met, and he put me in his arms. Our eyes locked, we were silent, staying like that for a moment. As he held me in his arms; whiling still in the air by flapping his wings. (Nice double Tasking.) Even though our mouths were closed, and our voices not being used, our eyes proved, showed, and tolled, more than any mouth or voice could. I wasn’t sure what was going on in his mind, and I didn’t know what would happen next.

"Uhh…" said a familiar voice. Aiden and I turned our heads at the same time, to see Alex. "What’s umm… going on between you two?" he said a little awkwardly. Aiden dropped me, forgetting that we were in the air. I screamed. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Alex yelled at him, then caught me, brought us back up, "What the hell was that for?!" I asked him, with an angered voice. Alex, calmed down, and spoke up," We need to talk to you." He glanced at me, "Alone." Aiden nodded, and Alex flew to the 5th floor, so I could be in my room, which was exactly what I did.

Once Alex and I had landed at the 8th floor, our wings disappeared, because we made them. He led me down the hall, to a room I had never seen, or been too before. The weird part is, I have always lived here.

He led me to a dark part of the hallway, and opened a door that was on the ceiling by jumping, and jumped again, this time with his wings out, and in immediately as soon as they were about to hit the ceiling. I did the same. The room was an office, and apparently Toshiro’s office, because he was sitting in a black painted, metal desk. There were only filled up bookshelves on the walls, and two separate brown, leather chairs in from of the desk. Toshiro sat in a huge, black, leathered chair that spun. And his desk was full of paper, notes, books, pictures, utensils. Alex sat in a chair, so I did the same. "I told Toshiro about what I had told you earlier, and we wanted to talk to you." Alex said, Toshiro was about to speak when I cut him off," Wait." I told them both," I think I have something a little more interesting to tell you both."

I walked into my room. Well, my room, in this castle, mansion, thing. I walked over to one of the drawers, and looked at it. It had the same shape and color of the one I had in my apartment. The one in my apartment contained my art supplies. Paint, paper, pencils, pens, colored pencils, measurers, tape, duct tapes, etc., etc. As I thought of that, I opened the drawer, and there were all my supplies. "Weird." I thought. But I shrugged it off, maybe they just had the paint, because that was all there was in there, the paint, the paint brushes, paper, and pencils. Not anything too fancy. I pulled out the various colors of paint and the paint brushes. I laid them all out on the floor. I looked around the bare walls. It was all white. I grabbed several paint brushes, and the colors, cream white, (not like the snow white on the wall), light grey, and black. I walked over to a wall.

I told them both about the memories that came into my head. I wasn’t sure why those things happened in my head. I have always had odd deijau-voo, but this was weird. They were both silent for a moment. "Well," Toshiro said," I am not sure what, and why that happened, and what that is. It could be anything really, maybe an old clip in a movie, something a book, a T.V. show, a sudden memory. Not sure, but if you couldn’t tell what the names of the kids, and you couldn’t understand that, and understand everything else, that’s just odd. Nothing normal could do that out of the blue." He stood up, with his hand on his chin, and walked around the room. "It reminds me how Drake said he saw a little girl pop up out of the blue, ten years ago, at the edge of the cave when he was in the human world." He stopped and turned to us," Maybe it’s possible that they’re connected. The baby girl and Soul, well her real name is Joy. I am telling you that now because this is important." Toshiro thought a minute and then snapped with his fingers. "Maybe someone casted a blocking spell to a memory of yours! Maybe that’s what it is that appeared in your head. But then, the girl and Joy, maybe the toddler girl was, and is Joy!" He said," But, we have all lived together, so how would it make sense of this happening? I don’t ever remember a girl being your friend when you were a toddler. I was older so I would remember, unless maybe we all had the same spell! An alike happening forcing the spell to grow weak and you have a flash back. But the spell is so strong, that it makes sure you don’t know that names. So the person that may have made this spell was strong enough to do that. And the only person I can think of would be the King of Darkness." Toshiro thought hard for a minute. It’s all coming together now. Maybe this is true, and happened. It would make sense. But then how would the toddler girl who Drake saw outside the cave, and bring to the human world, and the girl in my flash back, most likely to be Joy, be together? Toshiro looked up again," This almost makes sense. I know that Joy’s parents adopted her, and never told her that they weren’t her real parents obviously. So if Joy is the same girl in Aiden’s flash back, and the girl that Drake saw, how would Joy get out of the mirror world? Unless,…" he started," unless, the King of Darkness wanted to help stop her. For her not to know that she was the last Soul. SO that she would never know any of this and neither would we." he trailed off. "Alex has told me what he has learned also. But Joy doesn’t know this, how it would happen of her powers." I understood it now. Alex turned his head to me and said," Before we even knew about this, we wanted to ask if maybe, she could fall in love with you. You wouldn’t have to be in love with her, just pull an act." He continued," I know it sounds horribly cruel, and I know it is, but. If you broke her heart in some way, a little before the King of Darkness arises, and there are signs that obviously show the people who know about him, that he will come soon, her power would be big enough to break him away." I was shocked by the way he had asked me. Why would it be me? Which is exactly what I asked," Why me? I mean, Alex is the flirty guy over here, and Drake is seductive and all. Toshiro, you would even do better than me, and you’re pretty clueless with girls!" I told them. Toshiro explained this time," It’s because she has seemed to take a liking of you. Maybe it’s not a liking that means she actually likes you, but finds you more interesting that the rest of us. Well, maybe that’s also because you’re around her more often than us." Toshiro sighed," Don’t get me wrong, I actually think… she is quiet beautiful and interesting, but we must remain the reason why we brought her here." He yawned; Toshiro never really got enough sleep because he is always doing something. "Well, and, you don’t really care about girls. Especially her, well maybe not so much now but…" he trailed off, realizing that maybe it wouldn’t be as easy as he thought before. I was a human, and I had emotions too. But even if she was the girl in my flash back, who says that I will fall in love with her? And that she will fall in love with me? Why would I? Does she even remember any of this, and why the hell did she jump off the stair case?!

I had painted the stair cases on one of my walls. Nothing but the stair case in the middle and the stair case that went around the whole building. It surprised me; it looked like the real stair cases. I put my hand on it, and it felt like I was touching the stair case, but then again, it would probably feel like a wall if I felt the stair cases. I only made a small drawing of this. I was proud of it too. I yawned; it was later than I thought. I crawled into my oversized bed, and almost unnaturally fell right asleep.

At the beginning of all this, it wouldn’t matter to me at all to do this type of thing, but, when I remembered the past, and most likely her. It didn’t feel right to me. I was frustrated for myself for just actually… I don’t know… I am not used to this. I feel guilty if I did that for some reason… that never happens often, to me at least.

Earlier I had told them that I didn’t know and walked out, and now I was in my room. Why did it bother me so much? I ran my hands through my hair, which felt strangely familiar.

"Aiden…" an echoing voice said.

"What the hell?" I thought, turning around, seeing nothing behind me, but I hear the voice again.

"Aiden…" it said again. It was the voice of a small girl.

"Aiden, you said you would always protect me… why aren’t you now?" it said in a low voice.

"You promised me when we first met when I was four and you were five. You promised to always protect me…" the voice said.

It felt like something was beside my ear, as the voice called out again.

"You pinkie promised." It whispered in my ear.

The voice vanished, and I just stood there, I felt normal. It was definitely creepy. But I had enough to handle right now. I changed, and headed to bed.
