The Sketchbook

Chapter 2

When I woke up the next morning, I looked around. I saw my sketchbook and pencils on the table on the far side of the room. I remembered what happened with my sketchbook and the drawing of Axel moving. I shook my head to clear the thoughts that was going through my head about it.

"I must have been dreaming. There's no way drawings could move." I muttered to myself. I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. I took a quick shower, dried my hair then got dressed. I wore my Captain America t-shirt with navy leggings and white socks. I put my Attack on Titan hoodie on. Then I went downstairs and into the kitchen. My auntie Helen was making pancakes. She makes amazing pancakes. They are so delicious.

"Morning Maisie." she said, smiling at me as she flipped the pancake.

"Morning." I said, yawning. I sat down at the table, next to my cousin Chloe who was playing Mario on her DS.

"I heard a scream last night." My cousin Molly said, looking at me then at my other cousins.

"It was me. I was playing Amnesia last night." I lied.

"Oh. That makes sense." Molly said nodding. I quietly sighed with relief. I couldn't tell them that my drawing of Axel moved. They wouldn't believe me and they would think I'm crazy! There was still a dull ache in my leg but I ignored it. After breakfast, I went back up the room I was staying in and drew some more stuff, Kingdom Hearts related. I drew Demyx from Organisation XIII. I also drew Sora's Keyblade. I also drew Captain America's shield. I looked at the drawings. I took a deep breath in, then out.

"Hello?" I asked. Ugh, that was stupid. No answer. "Um, hello?"

"Hi?" a voice asked. I looked at the drawing of Demyx. He was staring at me, his head tilted slightly, like a confused puppy.

"You can hear me?" I asked.

"Well, yeah. I'm not deaf. Well, I don't think I am." Demyx said. I laughed gently. One of my older cousins who was called Harriet knocked on my door.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Come get lunch." she said.

"Okay." I said. I got up and brought my sketchbook with me. We were sitting at the table eating lunch. I was sitting next to my brother Alfred. My sketchbook was open on the picture of Axel. Just then, my cousin Pheobe sneezed.

"Bless you." Axel said. Pheobe looked around

"Who said that?" she asked. Everyone looked around, confused. I shrugged.

"I dunno." I said.

"Smooth." Axel muttered.

"Shut up Axel." I said quietly. I closed my sketchbook.

"Ow!" Axel said. Alfred looked at me.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing." I said quickly. Alfred raised an eyebrow but shrugged. I ate my lunch with my sketchbook on my lap. Alfred glanced at me before eating more of his lunch. I kept a firm grip on my sketchbook just in case any of my annoying cousins tried to steal it.

Alfred leaned over and poked me in the shoulder.

"Hey." he said. I looked at him.

"What?" I asked.

"Gonna cross the T's." he whispered.

"And dot the lower case J's." I whispered back. We both started laughing. All of our cousins glanced over at us.

Me and Alfred always quote films and things we've read or watched. It's funny because our other cousins don't get the quotes sometimes. Everyone started talking again. My cousin Emily looked over at me.

"Hey Maisie." she said. "Me and the others are going shopping and going for tea and coffee. Do you want to come?"

"No. I think I'll just stay here and chill." I replied. I'd rather walk on hot coals than going shopping with them.

"Alfred and some of the others aren't going." Harriet said. "So you won't be alone."

After lunch, Emily and the others left to go shopping. Alfred and a few of my other cousins were playing on the Wii. I think they were playing Super Mario or Mario Kart. I was upstairs alone.

"So... how do you know us?" Axel asked, staring at me. I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly. How the hell was I going to explain this to them?

"Well... you are characters from a game called Kingdom Hearts." I said. I explained the basic concept of the game, Sora's adventures ad other details about the game.

"Who are you?" he asked looking at me with emerald eyes.

"My name is Maisie." I replied.

"That's a nice name." Demyx said. (I had drawn them in the same picture.)

"Thanks." I said blushing. Demyx smiled at me.

"I would say 'My name is Axel, got it memorized?' but you already know who I am." Axel said. I laughed. I heard a knock at the door. I gasped and turned around.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Maisie?" My cousin Charlie asked. "Who are you talking to?"

"N-No one." I replied, stuttering a bit.

"Liar." Axel whispered, smirking slightly.

"Shut up Axel." I muttered through gritted teeth. I glared at him and he smirked more.

"Are you alright?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah..." I said.

"Hm. Okay. I thought I heard other voices." Charlie said.

"Really?" I said. "Huh. Weird."

What the fuck was going on?

Chapter done!

If you can guess the quote shared between me and my cousin, you get a cookie! :3
