Episode 5, Season 2
by Lady Steel Kitty
It was a beautiful day outside! The sun shining, birds singing their lovely melodies, and not a cloud in sight! But it was too bad that seven teenage girls were inside...watching MTV2.
"Cronus...I don't wanna go over and stare at that weird little box with everybody else!" I whined.
"You have to! You can't sit at home all day and just walk around the neighborhood.."
"...Why?"
"Because...people will think you...aren't right if they see you just walking around talking to nothing.." Cronus explained.
At Chrissy's house I just couldn't stand the way everybody would just sit and look at the television. They weren't saying a word...it was like the other girls were in a trance or something! Everyone almost jumped ten feet in the air when Katrina picked up the remote and flipped through the channels. "Woah... look at that!" She stopped on a channel and everybody stared at the screen and gasped. A person with a weird little black ice-cream cone thingie stood in front of the screen . "I am reporting from downtown, where we can see here all the damage that has been caused by this extra-terrestrial force." The screen then showed an image that almost made me drop my mug of coffee I had been sipping, as everybody gazed into the box. "Aksan and... Firon..." I whispered in horror.
"What?" the girls then turned there attention toward me.
"Cronus.....could it be? This cannot be true!"
"I am afraid so, My Lady..."
"NEVER!" The mug fell to the floor, with a splash of a french-vanilla de-caff. "ACK!!! My brothers are gonna kill me!!!!" Chrissy quickly got up and ran into the kitchen to get cleaning supplies.
"Cronus...I feel dizzy..." I muttered. Right at that moment, I blacked out.
"Amarus! Wake up! YOU HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE COFFEE YOU SPILT!" (said by Chrissy)
"ACK! NONONONONO!!!!" I screamed. "What happened...?"
"You fainted." said Cronus.
"Why'd you pass out????" Asked Bri.
"Uhh... heh... gotta goooooooo!!!!!!!!!!" I quickly got up and ran for the door. I decided to take a long way back to my house, along a path hidden by trees. The trees made it look dark, except for the puddles of gold that spilt in from the sun's rays. "Cronus... I feel sick again..."
"Get down!"
I fell onto my knees as a silver arrowhead surrounded by flames bolted above me, and hit a tree trunk. The flame quickly died. I turn around to face what had tried to pelt me with it, and I practically screamed. "The underlings..."I gasped. "Aksan and Firon!"
"Run! But whatever you do, don't transform!" Screeched my frightened guardian. I ran so fast down that path, I could have sworn that I never hit the ground once! I ran the whole path to my empty house. But what really confused me, was that they didn't come after me...
I fell to the floor as I slammed the door behind me..."I feel so drained...I have ran faster...but why do I feel so tired?" At that moment, I blacked out.
Images kept floating in and out of my mind, until I could make almost like a movie in my memories. I remembered crashing, and screaming...and fallen ruins...the ruins...of my planet... Evil laughter circled around me, and I saw above the rubble that was once a beautiful castle... Aksan and Firon were there, standing behind a tall, shadowy figure...what was this figure? Then...there was the voice...a mysterious, yet beautiful voice..."Find Lady Dragonspaw...your destiny is in her power!" Then...I woke up.
I was lying on the cold, white carpet of my empty house. Above me was my mirror, hanging from the wall. "Cronus...what happened?" I exclaimed in my mind. But there was just silence. "Cronus?" Still, no answer. "Cronus!" I yelled out loud.
"No need to shout. "Said a voice, stiffly. I rose to my feet, and searched around in the bare rooms.
"Cronus?" I kept calling for him in my mind, but he would never answer. "Cronus! Where are you?!" I screeched.
"Main room."
I ran toward my room with the telephone on the carpet, next to a fire place. "Cronus, where are y-" I could of melted. I usually would have been more affected, but for some reason I could still think fairly clearly. Leaning against the wall, gazing out the window, was the most handsome guy I had ever seen in my life. He had shimmering gold hair, pale skin, and his eyes...dark green...but they seemed to burn into you if you stared..."Er-who are you?" I stammered. The hottie looked right at me, and gave me a really sarcastic grin. I felt like a puddle on the floor already. "Who do you think?" He asked. "I really don't know..." "I'm Cronus." My jaw dropped. "Cronus is a cat." the "cat" sighed in disbelief. "I guess I'm going to have to tell go what happened..." I put my hands on my hips. "You HAVE to tell me, if you don't want a bald spot." "You split into two people." Cronus put his hands in front of his face, blocking whatever I might throw. "Split in HALF?!" "Your memories of your planet came back to haunt you, and you split into two people... the evil side of you took your hair color, eye color, and skin pigment. She has taken most your emotions, too. Every thing you feel is a shadow of what you used to. You can't speak with as much enthusiasm, can't cry, can't sweat, can't get cold, can't get hot..." The thought of this scared me...I practically screamed when I looked into the mirror. I was white. White skin, white hair and white eyes. No color at all. I couldn't be seen like this in PUBLIC. But I have to go to school..."What am I gonna do? People will think I'm a freak." I paced back and fourth, while worrying at the same time. It was weird, I only had a little lump of worry inside.
"Say it's a skin condition…"
"Good idea. I'll say that."
While reading 'Angel Sanctuary' I stopped at a page and help it up. Cronus was looking out the window (He must have a fascination with seeing everything in color). I held up a picture of a character (Raphael...one of the Elemental Angels), next to Cronus. They almost looked exactly alike...
"So anyway, does my other side have a name?" I asked.
"Namonaki."
"Is she pretty?"
"....(no comment)"
I thought for a while and realized something important: No matter how strange people will think I look, I have a really good-looking guy, so NYAH!
