I wake up to silence. Its far to quite. Cross would be snoring or up by now. Something isnt right. I walk to his room, knocking a few times before walking inside. Nothing. My hand clunches into a fist. I walk out and around the house. He is no where to be found. Damn that little brat must have ran away. I swear when I find him i will punish him personally instead of letting the elders just give him a slap on the wrist. I walk towards the main house the elders stay. I knock on the door. Soon i am greeted by a small maid. She leads me to the judgement room. There sat the elders.
Ink, the mother/father. They are given this title for they brought life to many of the young ones. Including Cross. Sitting beside them is Classic. Keeper of time. He was given this title due to him being the first to be exposed to the fragments of time. Next to him was Reaper and Geno. Reaper was death and Geno was guardian of the after life. Those titles are self explanatory.
Next to them is Lust and Horror. Desire and Crime. And last but not least Dream. He came of unknown origin but was considered an elder. His title is keeper of light. For he gave people hope. There was one old black chair with jaggad edges next to him. It was perfectly reserved as if to welcome the lost person who used to own it.
No one knows who it belonged to. Next to the abandoned chair there was two chairs for Cross and I. When Cross matures he will take his seat there. Ink looks at me their voice gentle. "What is it child?" I sigh knowing they will not like this.
"It has come to my attention that Cross had snuck out of the house last night and went to the rainforest. I will find him and retrieve him as soon as possible."
Silence. Nothing. No reaction. Ink slowly stands. Their emotion was blank. I quickly kneel. They walk towards me. Gently they put their hand on my shoulder. Their voice was as soft as silk. "Child please do not fret. I know how close you two where. Please. Bring back my creation. We will sort this out afterwards."
I nod. I show no emotion. For if I did they will take advantage. Ink walks back to their seat. They sit back down. "Go and find him child." I get up and walk off. Walking out I form my weapon. A sword attached to my arm made from red and blue threads. They glow brighter then dull down in rhythm with my pulse. I walk towards the forest. I growl lowly. When I get a hold of that little brat I swear.
---------
Once in the forest I walk around. The brat couldn't have gone far. Walking towards a large tree I can see tracks. He wont be able to make it if he doesn't hide his tracks. I follow the tracks. He had ran away a long distance. Every once in a while a rustling sound will be heard. It was most likely a bird. When I walk towards a certain direction I can here more rustling. I shrug it off and keep walking.
Soon I find a small shelter. It isn't well built at all. Cross most likely made this. I'll have to wait to catch him. I walk and climb up a tree. Laying down I take a nap.
------------
I wake up to foot steps. Must be Cross. I sit up and look down. And there he is. A bird and fruit in hand. I decide to wait for a while to take him back. He seems happy. I get up.
As soon as his eyes close I climb down. My threads form a net. Suddenly I throw it around Cross and take him away. Little brat didn't know what to think.
"I am not letting you off the hook this time brat." He squeaked at my words. He deserves whats coming to him. I had to walk around this damned forest all day and wait here at his poor camp.
"L-let me go!"
"No"
"Error!"
"Shut up."
"Stop!!"
"DO YOU WANT ME YO TEAR YOUR JAW OFF!"
"....."Finally he shuts up. Sighing I walk. I can feel as if something is watching me. I look around. There in the bushes I can see a single eye. It glows a dark teal color. I drop Cross down and form my sword. Suddenly the eye dissapears. I look around. No sign of anything near.
What was that? Some animal? Maybe. Maybe not. Someone else is here and im not certain their friendly. I pick Cross up and walk. Suddenly I am rammed back wards by a black object. Dropping Cross I quickly get on my feet and look around. Nothing.
What was that? I reach to pick up Cross but he is gone. Damn it that thing must have taken him. I walk off to find him. What ever took him didn't leave any tracks making it harder to find them. I walk in a direction they could have gone.
This is going to be a long day.
