Set The World on Fire
Findng Them
"Mikey, we've been here for three days now; how are we supposed to find these guys if we don't know what the hell they look like?" Jade groaned, looking to her older sister.
Mikey didn't say anything though; she sat on the front porch of their lovely new home in silence. All of her sisters were hanging out in the house, trying to figure everything out. Mikey didn't know what to do to be honest. She never thought that she would have a mission as important and confusing as this one. The world around her was so confusing. How humans ever lived the way that she's seen the past three days, she'll never be able to understand. Why people would ever treat each other so horribly; how could they do it?
Arya sat up in her bedroom, in the window with a stuffed Pikachu backpack in her arms. The young girl sat there watching the outside world. It had always scared her since she first got here; everything was so different.
"Arya? Is something wrong?" Rainy asked, walking into her bedroom.
The wind blowed in the room through the opened window, as Arya turned and looked at her older sister. She shook her head, brushing her off before looking back out the window. Thought Rainy didn't say anything to her sister, she definitely knew that something was wrong with her. She wanted her younger sister to talk to her, but knew that it would be a long shot. Arya hasn't said a single word in three days. All of her sisters were worried about her; Mikey was the most.
Jade and Jasmyn sat in the living room, watching the movies that they had always loved as children. They were perfectly fine with the situation at hand; being on Earth that is. Though they are also worried for the rest of their sisters, but they didn't know what to do. So in the end they just stayed out of it. Knowing that if they tried to interfer with whatever Mikey was doing to try to fix it; it would just stress her out even more. They know that she definetly didn't need that.
"Guys, I'll be back in a few minutes, I'm going to the store to get stuff for dinner." Mikey called from the porch.
She knew that she wouldn't get an answer from the people in the house, but still informed whoever was listening so that at least someone would know where she was going. At least that's where she thought she was going to end up. Instead she ended up at the park, sitting on a high rock in front of the lake; on the other side was a waterfall where kids were jumping off and into the deeper end of water. Mikey sat there wishing that she could've had a life like that. She wanted to be able to grow up as a normal kid with a normal life again. The blue water was still on this end of the pond, she could hear frogs croaking and brds chirpping from where they were in the trees and flying through the sky.
"Hey can you give me a hand?" Someone asked.
Mikey quickly looked up, only to see a guy in the water a few feet away looking up at her. He had long black hair and she could see that his arms were covered in ink. Tattoos that they were called. Slowly and cautiously, she stood up on the rock and went to move over to where he was.
"Careful! Its slick over there!" He shouted.
Quickly as she took another stepped she looked down only to see that she was standing on a wet patch of water algee. Before she could catch my balance, her feet were swept out from under her, and she felt water surround her. She didn't know what to do, the surface of the water seemed to be slipping farther and farther away from her fingertips. She didn't know what to do, her arms was moving quick all around her, trying to move towards the surface for air; but it seemed to make her sink faster.
After a moment, her eyes closed making it impossible for her to see the man swimming towards her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back to the surface. It took him a minute or two, but he got her out of the water and back on the actual ground; pressing on her chest, soon enough it caused her to cough up all the water that had filled her body from the lake.
"Are you okay??" He asked as Mikey sat up.
"I'm fine." She coughed, "I just, don't know how to swim." She confessed.
"Well, alright; here I'll walk you home. Ths is all my fault in the first place. So don't even try to say no, because I insist that I'm going to walk you home no matter what." He explained, placing an arm around me.
Mikey kept her mouth shut as the man helped her to her feet and slipped his jacket around her; trying to keep her warm on their walk.
Meanwhile back at the house, Arya had finally come out of her room. Jade and Jasmyn sat in the living room in shock, watching ther small sister pacing the room while clutching to a stuffed animal; tears were running down her cheeks. Rainy didn't know what to say about her sisters actons; it made her worry out of her mind.
"Where's Mikey?" Rainy asked her sisters who were sitting on the couch.
"She left to go to the store about half an hour ago." Jasmyn said
"Damn it! She would know what to do right now." Rainy groaned, walking back into the kitchen.
As soon as Rainy had left the room, the front door opened. Only to allow everyone to see Mikey standing there, dripping wet from head to toe; a strange man standing behind her. Arya's stuff Pikachu fell to the floor, as she ran over to Mikey.
"Can I, uh, use your phone Mikey? So I can call my friends to come pick me up?" The man asked, his hand on the back of his head.
Mikey silently nodded before wrapping her arms around Arya and taking her up the stairs. Rainy, Jade and Jasmyn ran after them as quickly as the small space would allow. When they reached the room, they saw that Mikey had grabbed a towel and was drying herself off. Arya was sitting on the bed, a pillow clutched to her chest and even more tears falling from her eyes. Rainy quickly sat on the bed next to her, whille Jade and Jasmyn sat in front of them. Mikey quickly changed into dry clothes before joining the group of sisters.
"Arya, what's wrong?" Rainy asked, "You have to talk to us and tell us what's wrong or else we can't do anything to help fix it."
Arya sat there quietly, and let her eyes wander to the window. She knew what was wrong, but didn't know how to put it all into the correct wording. She wanted to be able to talk to her sisters, but the fact that she couldn't made even more tears fall from her eyes. Mikey saw the way their presence on Earth was effecting her younger sisters, and she didn't like it a single bit. Sighing, she stood up and left the room; knowing that they would all end up following her through the house. If not everyone, the at least Arya would.
She could hear footsteps behind her, meaning that her intuition was right. As soon as she got downstairs, she saw five men standing in their livingroom. They all had long black hair, covered in tattoos and were wearing tight black clothing. Except for the one that pulled me out of the lake; he was in dripping wet shorts. His name is Christian Coma, also known as CC.
Arya quickly ran down the stairs and through the group trying to get her Pikachu back. But she stopped when she saw that one of the men had the Pikachu in his hands. It was the one that had saved Mikey, and some how she could tell.
"Is this yours?" He asked, reaching out to the small girl.
Hesitantly, she reached her hand out and took the stuff Pikachu.
"Thank you." She whispered; her sisters gasping behind her.
Mikey ran up behind her, wrapping her arms around the youngest of her sisters; causing them both to fall to their knees. Arya sat there, her arms tightly around the Pikachu, while Mikey had her arms around her. For the first time in hundreds of years, Mikeys eyes filled with tears and she began crying.
"It's beautiful. Your voice, Ary. I missed it so much. It's just so beautiful." She said to her sister. "I thought...I thought I would never get to hear it again. It's only been three days, but, damn I've missed your voice so much."
Slowly, Arya once more looked up at CC. She shrunk out of her sisters hold and walked up to the extremely tall man that was in front of her. She couldn't help but feel like she had known him for the longest time; and he felt the same about her. What was this feeling that they were both experiencing in this one moment?
Mikey didn't say anything though; she sat on the front porch of their lovely new home in silence. All of her sisters were hanging out in the house, trying to figure everything out.
