Withered Rose - Darkened Pose

Chapter 1

“What do you mean? I don't get it!" I shouted. I glared at the figure in front of me; he was slim and had short, not to mention wavy, blonde hair which was getting blown across his face covering his light, ice blue eyes that were looking back at me. He opened his mouth to speak, showing ivory teeth that...well...shined a bit.
"Kally! Wake up; you're going to be late!"
I looked up from my desk, I must have fallen asleep while doing my homework; the one that my dad has been telling me to do for ages. I ran my fingers over the smooth, oak surface, it felt nice...almost relaxing in a way. I blinked slowly and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, and then I heard the call again.
I groaned and shouted out, "I'll be down in a minute dad!"
I drew back my curtains and light filled up the dark bedroom that had been there a few seconds before. Slowly, I walked over my bedroom floor, which I'll admit is a mess, over to my wood-brown wardrobe. The doors creaked as I opened them to reveal my clothes...and other random junk. I swiftly tugged out my favorite short-sleeved top and my skinny jeans, and then I quickly took the clothes I fell asleep in off and then replaced them with the other clothes I took out the wardrobe.

I flung open my bedroom door, which is covered with posters, and raced out to the clearing. I skidded to a halt as I reached the stairs; I hadn't bothered to close my door behind me, I jumped onto the banister and slid down. I jumped off with a twist, landing on the floor on my hands and feet, and came face-to-face with Jasmine.
"Hey Jazzie!" I laughed and scratched Jasmines' ear, I heard her purring and kissed the top of her head. I stood up and walked into the kitchen, hearing my dad watching the TV. and my older brother on the phone.
Pitter Patter. Pitter Patter.
I looked down to see a small, tortoiseshell cat looking up at me with her light, ice blue eyes.
"Hello Saki, how my young kitty huh?" I said, bending down to stroke her. Suddenly, I remembered the dream...
"The light, ice blue eyes..." I murmured, standing up slowly. Then I backed away, knocking a knife off of the draining board. I screamed in pain as it sliced my hand, I grabbed a towel and quickly wrapped it round my hand, calling for my dad.
"What is it Kally?" My dad, his name is , asked, coming into the Kitchen, Saki in his hands...she had ran away when the knife fell. He set Saki down and inspected my hand curiously once I told him what happened.
"Well...there isn't any cut or damage there Kally...are you sure it really happened?" He tutted, putting the towel back on the table counter.
"Yes! It happened! Why don't you believe me, you never trust me!" I yelled and ran out of the kitchen, I shoved past my confused brother and ran back up stairs. I slammed my door and turned on my cd player to my favorite song...then I turned the volume up . I sat down on my bed and opened my magazine in a sulk.

Chapter 2

“If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight.”


That was the last part of the song I remembered before I fell asleep...In my short-sleeved top and shorts, but I have no objection to that because it was really hot last night!

I rolled onto my side and looked at my cd player, the red light suddenly went off.
"The batteries ran out!" I sighed and sat up. I looked at my magazine that had fallen off my chest onto the floor.
"Rubbish...stupid...not good at all..." I murmured. I suddenly picked it up and threw it at the wall.
"IT'S ALL RUBBISH!" I shouted. I heard a taxi come into the drive-way, so I looked outside.
Inside the car was the Taxi-driver and...No...It can't be...
"Not HIM!" I gasped as he came out the taxi. It was the one from my dream!!!
I scrambled out of bed and put random clothes on, brushed my blonde, tangled hair and put it in a messy bun. Then I rushed down stairs to the door.
"Oi, you, yes YOU. Get outta my way!" I raced past my brother, shouting at him on the way past. I stopped at the door and brushed my self down.
Ding dong...Ding dong
I opened the door and saw him, yes...it was the one from my dream; no doubt about it.
"Hi, y-" I got interrupted as my annoying older brother came over.
"Who's this? Is it your bf?" He laughed. I glared at him angrily.
"Shut up Juka!" I shouted.
"Whateva!" Juka said in a grumpy voice and walked away, hands in his pockets, listening to his iPod with his hood up and his muddy trainers on. I stuck my tongue out at him and then looked back at him.
"Hi, sorry about that..." I laughed, and then the laugh simmered down into a sigh. What’s wrong with me? I'm not normally like this!
"So, what's your name?" I asked.
"My name is...Demetri." He told me, giving me a smile. He went to say something else...but then he just disappeared. I stumbled backwards in shock and tripped over Jasmine.
"Sorry Jazzie...I d-didn't see you there." I stuttered and scrambled up.
So...that boy of my age just disappeared...impossible!!! I thought.
"I must be going crazy." I muttered. I lay on my bed for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening, pondering over what had happened...Wait, what DID just happened?
I shook my head to get the thoughts out, causing my long blonde hair to fall over my face, I sighed and scrounged through my pockets for my red silky ribbon. I then tied my hair up and walked slowly out of my bedroom. I reached the stairs and trudged down them, this time not sliding down the banister. I shuffled into the living room and sat on the closest chair, the T.V. was already on so I picked up the remote and flicked through the channels.
"Lets see what's on the news today eh Saki?" I sighed, stroking Saki who had heaved herself onto my lap and was curled up. I stopped on the news channel and started to watch it.
“Why can't they have anything good on the news any..." My voice trailed off as I looked over at the green over the road from our house. Standing there was Demetri...his blonde hair was blowing over his face as normal. I gave a, which surprised me, and stood up. Saki jumped down and raced to the door, she started scratching at it and howling pitifully.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I laughed and walked to the door. I opened it and allowed the breeze to brush against my face, happy to get out the house. Saki sprinted outside over the road and onto the green.
She let out a small mewl and looked around, confused and then pranced away. I crossed the road and looked for Saki.
"Saki? Here kitty, kitty, kitty!" I called out. I heard a purr behind me...Saki! And Demetri!(He wasn't purring...obviously...)
"Hello Demetri!" I gasped in delight. Demetri smiled and let out a small laugh.
He bent down, lifted Saki gently off the ground and handed him to me.
"You were looking for him?" Demetri asked. I nodded and thanked him hastily.
He laughed,” No need to thank me, I need to ask you something..." I looked at him, what did he want?
"I don't know your name yet...what is it?" He asked me softly.
"My name...my name is Kally, Kalz for short." I told him, almost winking.
"That's a beautiful name; Kally..." He murmured to me. I thanked him again and started to stroke Saki.
"So, Kally, how are you? I bet you wondering why I suddenly disappeared...when I came to your house..." Demetri asked. Saki jumped out of my arms and pranced inside like a kit.
I looked at the floor and then back at Demetri, “Yes! I am wondering! WHY DID YOU JUST LEAVE?!", I shouted out in an angry voice at him. Demetri let out a hissing noise as I shouted at him; his light, ice blue eyes had gone a blood red color. Then it was replaced with his normal eyes, the familiar light, ice blue eyes I've seen every time I saw him, in real life and in my sleep. Suddenly I heard yowling from my bedroom window.
"Saki! NO! You'll fall!" I shrieked as Saki balanced on the windowsill. I started to run but Demetri pulled me back.
"What are you doing? I NEED TO HELP SAKI!" I shouted, struggling to get away.
"Leave her...and watch." Demetri told me, smiling.
How can he smile at a time like this?! I cried out in my head. Saki suddenly jumped off the windowsill, I stifled a scream of fear, and she done a flip in the air. I covered my ears and shut my eyes, not wanting to hear or see this scene that was going on at the moment. Joey put his hand on my shoulder and pointed to the floor where 'Saki' had landed. I opened my eyes and looked at where a beautiful slim girl was standing; her blonde hair looked almost like Joey but was...her hair was strawberry-blonde. Jealousy raked through my body, I always wanted strawberry-blonde hair...but I was stuck with normal blonde hair instead.
"W-who's that? Where's Saki?" I stuttered. Demetri smiled again and beckoned the other girl closer.
"Kally, this is my sister; Sakura, that means Cherry Blossom." He told me, giving me a grin that showed his teeth, one was missing though, unlike last time. I sighed quietly in relief, I don't know why though...I just did it.
"Hello Kally, Deti has told me a lot about you." Sakura said, smiling and looking at me with kind blue eyes, but not as light as Demetri'.
"Hi Sakura, did you s-see where my cat Saki w-went?" I asked Sakura, I knew that when she had said 'Deti' that she was talking about Demetri.
"Ah, yes...Saki," Demetri smiled as Sakura started to reply,” I am Saki, I can transform into a cat...you see, when I was a child there was people going around doing weird stuff to children, they found me and decided to put something in me so I can transform into cats..."
"And they made me be able to sing really good...I'm not annoyed at them, I love being able to sing brilliant, want to hear a bit of a song I can sing well?” Demetri asked me. I nodded and waited for him to start singing. He looked around incase anyone else was here and then started to sing.
"Woah," I was breathless, Sakura smiled at me and her brother, "Yeah, he's best at that song.” she told me.
"That's awesome..." I said, I started smiling...I was almost unaware that I was.
"Well thank you Kally." Demetri laughed, doing a joke-bow. Sakura suddenly hissed and nudged Demetri. "We've been here too long!" Sakura urged and quickly transformed into a cat. She padded over to me in a rush, waved her tail in good-bye to her brother. Deti bent down and stroked Saki/Sakura softly, then kissed her head and stood up once more.
"Bye Kally...I hope we meet again..." Demetri whispered and handed me something, closed my fingers over to cover what he put in my hand and then he disappeared. I opened my fingers and saw a necklace with D and K dangling down from them. I smiled and put it on, connecting the clasp. Then I scooped up Saki and went back into the house...in the pitch-dark night.

Chapter 3

I sat up on my bed, holding my stomach in worry; Saki had gone, we haven't seen her for ages, and worse...I haven't seen Joey for ages either...
"Kally! COME DOWN!" An angry voice of Juka shouted. I rubbed my eyes from tears and swung my legs out of bed, I put on my long-sleeved top and my trousers, then I walked down the stairs...wondering why Juka sounded so angry. I saw him with his hands bruised and bleeding a bit and eyes red as if he had been crying. He raced over, grabbed my neck and held me against the wall with my feet not touching the floor.
"Why?! Why did you chase Saki away?! HOW COULD YOU HAVE DONE SUCH A THING!?!?" He shouted, pulling his fist back to hit me.
"I didn't! I didn't do a thing!" I cried out, trying to get away from his grasp. Jasmine looked at us from under a chair in the kitchen. My dad came in and saw what happened, his eyes widened and he rushed over.
"Juka! Put your sister DOWN! Kally, what's happening?" He demanded. Juka put me down and I put my hand to my neck which was in pain.
"Well, I was in my room and Juka shouted at me to get down...so I came down and he grabbed my neck, held me against that wall and said I chased Sakur- Saki away which I didn't!" I told dad, tears running freely down my cheeks.
"Juka? Did you do this?" Our dad asked my older brother.
"Well..." Juka muttered, which always meant yes. He got sent into his room and my dad allowed me to go outside a bit. I started to walk out the door and then gasped.
"The necklace!" I gasped and stumbled upstairs into my room. I opened my best jewellery box I kept it in and put it on, I put the D and the K in the palm of my hand in squeezed my hand, then I took my hand away and let the letters dangle off the chain.

Then I went down the stairs, out of the house and onto the green. I lay down on the soft, green grass and sighed sadly...this was the same place I met Sakura...who happened to be my cat, Saki.
Then I saw a cat come towards me, SAKI! I sprang up and rushed over.
"Sakura!" I gasped as she went into her normal, human form.
"Hello Kally." Sakura said, eyes red and tear stains on her top. I asked her what was wrong, and where Joey was.
"We got captured by the people who gave us the 'powers', they were going to take them back and give us back our 'normal human body'...we ran away but they caught Demetri, I got away...I tried to go back but he told me not to; he said he would get away on his own...I waited at our meeting place for ages but there was no sign of him...them my friend came who had also ran away before me...she told him that they had already 'changed him back'...that's when I ran away from that place for good..." Sakura said, crying as she told me.
"We will get him back...I promise." I told her, squeezing her arm gently.
"Thank you..." She murmured.
"Oh, and can you stop giving Saki- I mean me, that type of cat food you put out?" Sakura added, then we both started laughing.
Meeeeow! came a sound in the bushes, a light tortoiseshell cat limped out of the green, leafy plant and looked up at us, keeping her right fore-paw off of the ground.
"Jasmine!" I gasped, she NEVER went over here!
"Wait one second." Sakura told me, she changed into Saki and padded over to Jasmine.
She meowed to Jasmine, then Jazzie lifted her right fore-paw to show Saki. Saki nodded and bent down to the paw, then...after a few seconds she took her head away, and spat something out of her mouth onto the grass.
"Thorn..." I said, bending down and hugging Jazzie.
“Meow?” Jazmine meowed, looking at Saki as she changed back.
