The return of hope
Pt 1
�Wake up sleepyhead and say hello to the morning. Here at the WSUP radio hope you have a bright and sunny day.� A girls hand reaches for the clock radio *click* �Ah!! It is 6 o Clock already!!� she jumps out of her bed. Her long brown hair was in a well-maintained bun until, due to the sudden movements, it fell apart. She runs nervously around the apartment looking for her clothes. �Where the heck I put them?� finally she found the things she was looking for, backed her school bag and took a fresh toast and ran out of the apartments door. Hurrying to school wasn�t new to her, she was late almost every day, and because of the recent moving she didn�t have friends to go to school with. So she almost flew through the streets. She sensed something weird, stopped and realised that she wasn�t on the way to school. A red brick wall stood proudly before her and a high wooden fence was on the other sides: behind, left and right. She couldn�t see a way out of this place. It started to get darker and darker by the second, a cold fog started to appear out of nowhere. She was very afraid, without noticing she was on the floor, kneeling down, holding her head with her arms. �Noo� what is happening to me!!� she barely could move, but then she heard a cars signal, she looked around carefully and was stunned that she was sitting in the centre of a street, holding down the traffic. She quickly stood up and ran towards the school, just a few hundred meters before the school building, she stopped, looked at the school and sighted �well, this is my new school.� She walked into the big schoolhouse, looked up her new class room and waited for the beginning of the lesson, weirdly she wasn�t late, in the matter of the fact she was the first one to come. When all of the students had arrived, the teacher walked to the front of the class saying �We have a new student from now on.� She pointed at her, the same girl who I was talking about. �Akiie Mikomi, please come here and tell us a bit about yourself.� Akiie stood up, walked slowly to the front of class, turned around to reveal her forest green eyes, and said �hello, I am Akiie Mikomi, I just moved to this town and I�m glad to make your acquaintance. I�m 16 years old and I like discovering new things.� A hand rose from the back of the class, �yes, what do you want to ask?� the teacher said. The boy stood up and asked �Akiie do you have a boyfriend?� Akiie blushed, and said �no�� Then the teacher said �Now, go to your seat and we�ll get on with the lesson.� She walked towards her seat, still blushing out of embarrassment.
Pt 2
When the lesson ended Akiie went to the hallway, she accidentally bumped into a boy. �Uh, sorry, I didn�t see you� she said, �I get bumped into a lot� the boy said while grinning, �what�s your name, I don�t remember to have seen you here.� Akiie answered �My name is Akiie Mikomi, I�m new to this school.� �Just as I thought, � the boy smiles �I knew I hadn�t seen a such beauty here before.� �What's going on in here?� a girl asked when she leaned herself on the boys shoulders. �Kanki, I thought we were supposed to meet at my class�, �I�m sorry that I held him back� Akiie said while bowing to show that she is sorry. �Don�t worry Akiie, Mikana doesn�t mind� he turned to the girl who is still leaning on his shoulder �do you?� �No, but now we are leaving� Mikana said. Kanki shouted �Bye! See you around!� while being dragged away by Mikana. Akiie walked to her locker, opened it and felt that a cold wind is blowing out of it, she looked deeper inside of it and saw the image of a dark person in a white fog cloud. Some kind of unfamiliar force pulled her into the locker and closed the door afterwards. She was lying on the floor, the cold fog had made her clothes all wet, she stood up carefully, looked around and saw a door on the horizon. Akiie walked towards it, tried to open it but it was locked. �Don�t go there!!� a strange voice said. �What is going on in here?� she asked herself but then she felt someone shaking her hand, she looked at the person and suddenly she was in front of her locker again. The person who shook her hand was the girl who has the locker right next to hers. She asked �Are you alright?� she now looked worried. Akiie, surprised by the caring of the girl who she just saw for the first time, said �It�s alright, I think I was daydreaming, it happens quite often, and every time I see a dark place, it feels so strange and cold.� The other girl looked at her locker, even more worried �I know, I have those dreams too, I�m afraid, where do these dreams come from? I want them to stop.� Akiie asked �what's your name, could we be friends?� The girl looked at her, tried to smile and said �My name is Harika, you are Akiie, I know you from the first lesson, I sit near to you.� �Sorry I didn�t see you� Akiie said while looking at Harika, she had short red hair with black tips, brown eyes and a warm smile. �Friends?� asked Harika �friends� responded Akiie
Pt3
A whole month has past since Akiie moved to this town, Harika and she are the best friends, it turned out that they are neighbours. The dreams have been more frequent and every time it has been worse. It is a Friday afternoon, they are on the roof of the school, Harika was holding on to the fence and said �The dreams are going to become true. I know it. And it is going to happen soon.� �Don�t talk like that, I wont let you give up!� Akiie shouted. �I know it�s hard, I have the same dreams, remember? We just need to be strong.� Akiie walked to Harika, who now looked at Akiie with tears in her eyes �I wont give up if you don�t give up on me!� The school bell rang, they had to run to their class. In the middle of the lesson the time stopped and the only things that moved were Akiie and Harika. �What is going on?� �The dream, the same thing happened in my dream!� Harika shouted while crying out of fear. Akiie ran to Harika �don�t worry, I�m here.� Everything went black, a cold wind blew through the class and Akiie and Harika fell asleep, they couldn�t move. A black hooded man came into the room, placed his scared hands on the heads of the girls.
Akiies dream * Akiie ran around the time frozen school screaming �Harika!! Where are you!?!� �Akiie� Akiie..� a silent voice whispered, she stopped to look around to find who was calling her but when she stopped the floor turned into sand and swallowed her. When she came to consciousness she was laying on a shore, the sand and the sea was black, she was covered with scars from the fall and her clothes were ripped. �Akiie� a girls voice said, �come and meet your fate�� Akiie was confused, but still followed the voice. She walked for a whole hour, and then collapsed on the sand. The weird path seemed to suck out the strength of the person who walks along it. �I can�t come closer,� she said to the voice �I cant save her, am I right?� �No, you cant save me� the voice was coming from the left of Akiie. She looked at the person to see who it was, for her surprise it was Harika. Akiie stood up and ran to her �Harika you�re alright!!� she now was crying �I thought I lost you� I�m so happy I finally found you!� she hugged her. Harika pushed Akiie away from her while saying �Liar!! I know you�re just playing with me!� Harika raised her hand and a black sword appeared into it. Akiie realised that there is something wrong with Harika and said �you�re not Harika! Who are you? What do you want from me?!� Harika, or the person who seemed to be Harika, pointed the sword at Akiie, with that move her school clothes turned into a black armour and her hair turned white, there was no light in her black eyes. She lowered the sword and said �you know who I am, I�m Harike, Harikas true self�
Pt 4
She looked at Akiie, no emotions on her face �you�ll never get out of this alive, and neither will Harika!� and with that she attacked her. Akiie flew through the air, fell on the ground and slided forward for another 100 meters. She stood up and said �No matter what you do, I�ll never give up on Harika!� She began to glow in a silver blue light. Harika hid her eyes from the blinding light. Akiies clothes disappeared and were replaced with a white top and a skirt. The bright light faded but Akiie still glowed in a soft light. Harike took her hands away from her face and was surprised to see Akiie looking like that �What is going on?!?� she shouted �What the hell is the meaning of all this?!� Akiie, crying inside, floated towards Harike �Don�t worry, I�ll never leave you behind!� �Get away from me!!� Harike shouted and threw an energy ball at Akiie. The energy ball disappeared only a mere meters before Akiie. That made Harike steaming mad and she literally burnt out of anger. She then threw hundreds of energy balls at Akiie, faster by the second. After she calmed down, because she thought that Akiie had lost, the dust faded slowly to present Akiie, without any injuries. She then again floated towards Harike �Noo, what are you? Leave me alone!� Harike squealed. She prepared her for a powerful attack that should of come from Akiie, but the impossible thing happened. Akiie hugged Harike, leaned her head on her shoulder and cried �Harika, I�ll never ever let you give up! I�ll stand by you, no matter what you think of me. Were best friends aren�t we?� A single crystal clear tear slided down Harikes cheek. A dark aura appeared around her and then it flew in the dark sky. Harikas eyes got their shine back, her hair turned back to their original colour and the armour was replaced with her school uniform. Harika now also hugged Akiie, who now understood that she had her back �Harika, you�re alright!� The image of them crying and smiling together was breathtakingly emotional. �You failed!� a deep voice said. Harika and Akiie looked around and saw a dark hooded man behind them. They were scared �Who are you? Are you the one who caused all this?� Akiie asked. �You shouldn�t be so curious little girl. Now about you,� the hooded man pointed at Harika �you don�t deserve to live anymore. You failed at the easiest mission.� His finger glowed red and a laser beam like light flew towards Harika, who now fell on the ground. The hooded man turned around �We�ll meet again!� he said and disappeared. Akiie lifted Harikas head on her lap. �Hold on, it�ll be alright!� her tears streamed down her face, landing on Harikas. �Promise me that you�ll never give up!� she managed to smile �you know I�ll always be there�� �Noo� I need you here, living!� she leaned over Harika to hug her for the last time. Harika disappeared from her lap and when Akiie looked around to see what's going on, she was in the classroom again. The teacher was in front of the class talking about a famous writers works importance in their culture. Akiie thought that all that had just happened was only a dream. She looked at Harika to be sure. A pain shot through her heart when she saw Harika lying on her desk, lifeless. �No! Harika! Wake up! Please!� she shouted while hurrying towards her. Everyone was looking at her as if she had gone mad. �What is the meaning of all this?� the teacher asked, walking towards Akiie and Harika. �She� She wont wake up!� Akiie cried. When the teacher arrived at Harikas desk she said �Everyone out! Akiie you go to the teachers study and call the ambulance!� Akiie ran out of the class, did what her teacher had told her to and returned to the class.
Pt 5
Three days after Harikas funeral Akiie was still crying in the corner of her room. She couldn�t face the reality that Harika was dead, she was her best friend. She hadn�t eaten anything since the accident in the school, she was depressed, her eyes were red from the crying and she was tired. But she couldn�t sleep, because every time she closed here eyes she saw the hooded man pointing his glowing finger at her. Akiie was now so exhausted, that she didn�t care if she saw the nightmare again, she just wanted to sleep. Soon, her swollen eyes were closed and she had fallen asleep. Meanwhile in the home of the seven sisters:
�We noticed the great force of the Hope last week. We need to find out where she is!�. �But how do we do that?� asked the lady, who was sitting at the window. �We already know the area we need to search trough is only a few blocks around the school called Haite high� said the woman in white, who was holding a notebook. �Did you send someone looking for her?� asked the lady again. �Yes, Azure, I sent some of them out just before the meeting.� Azure stood up and said �Notify me if she is found, I want to be the first one to talk to her.� Then she left the room. The search had been unsuccessful until they entered Akiies room. �Recca, I think we found her!� the person who was in Akiies room said to the woman who just had been talking to Azure. Recca said � thank you, you may now return home.� She then went to Azure, told her the news and just after Recca left Azure teleported herself into Akiies room. She stood before her for a minute but then she looked into her soul. She could feel the pain Akiie had recently lived through and the despair she felt since. While she was looking around in Akiies sole, the floor broke and Azure fell deeper in. she could see the Hope Akiie hid deep inside. Hope was just sitting there with a face full of love and caring. �I will save her from the pain!� the Hope suddenly said �I wont let Harika down!� Azure was stunned about the strong will of the Hope and this was why she left Akiies soul. She touched Akiies forehead with her finger and Akiie woke up. �Who are you?� Akiie asked when she opened her eyes and saw Azure standing before her. �Don�t worry, I am one of the good guys, � Azure said and smiled �we have been searching for you, but finally you are awoken.� Akiie was freaked out �what do you mean awoken? Do you have something to do with the nightmares?� Akiie started to cry again, but managed to add �Was Harikas death connected to you too?� Azure put her hands on Akiies shoulders and said �Hope, don�t you see we want you by us, at the side of good.� �Why do you call me Hope! I am Akiie!� she shouted trough the tears that slipped down Akiies face, glowing when they hit the ground. Azure started to explain �Akiie, you are Hope! The greatest power of good that has ever existed. The dreams and the way you have been living since the day you were separated from us, have made you forget who you really are!� Azure took Akiies hands and added �I�ll make you see who you are!� with that she transported them to the mirror of Reality., it had a white border with a golden symbol on the upper side. �Go on and look what the mirror shows.� Akiie was confused, but she still walked towards the mirror. She expected to see herself, just the way she was. But instead she saw an image of a girl, who looked just like her. The girl seemed to glow and she was wearing a white top and a skirt. She leaned on the mirror, not believing her eyes, but then she suddenly remembered �It really is me! I remember now! I looked like this when the hooded man had the control over Harika and when�when� a river of tears slipped down her face �when Harika was� killed.� She kneeled down and cried harder than ever before. Azure walked at Akiie and asked her to stand up and to look into the mirror once again. Akiie saw an image of a woman standing beside her, the woman had long blond hair and a white dress, she also glowed, just like hope. Akiie looked at Azure and asked �who is she?� Azure started to glow and her appearance changed to the same as the woman in the mirror and said �this is my true form, I am Truth, your sister.� Akiie didn�t know what to say but then managed to ask �you are my sister? But how?� Azure turned Akiie towards the mirror again and images of seven beautiful ladies appeared. �There are seven of us,� Azure explained and pointed at the mirror �you are the youngest, the Hope, I am the Truth, these are Love, Intuition, Inspiration, Trust and Help.� Akiie stood silently for a second and then asked �But where are they? I�d like to meet them too!� Azure smiled and hugged Akiie �they all are waiting in our home� Akiies clothes were replaced with the outfit of Hope and then they went home.
PT 6
�Finally we have found you!� the sisters said when they first saw Akiie standing in the doorway. They all stood up and ran to Akiie to welcome her home. �Calm down! Don�t� be so loud, you�re making her feel uncomfortable� said Azure while looking at her sisters. �No, it�s ok� said Akiie, and turned towards her new sisters �I�m so happy that I have finally found out who I am and where I belong to.� They talked about a lot of things, about how they had been living and what did they do to find Akiie. It was all very nice, until Monique (Inspiration) mentioned the moment they found her. That remembered Akiie what had been happening before. She then asked � who was the hooded man, the one who attacked me and my best friend, my best friend who now is ... dead.� A river of tears slided down her face once again. �It�s better if you go out and breathe some fresh air, after you�ve had time to calm down and think about what you have found out, come back here and we�ll tell you everything you want to know.� Said Azure. Just a few seconds after leaving her new home, she felt the cold rain falling on her head, arms and shoulders. She didn�t have an umbrella, she even didn�t want one, she just let the rain pour on her face. After standing there for at least ten minutes she decided to go to her favourite park, the one where she used to hang out with her friend. She didn�t know why she wanted to go there, it seemed that there was someone in the park who was calling for her. It didn�t take her long to get there, she walked straight towards the bench, where re she used to sit and watch the clouds slide over the sky. She sat down without thinking and started to stare into the sky. The clouds started to fade away, the rain stopped. As soon as the sky turned sunset orange, a flash blinded Akiie, she turned away her head. When she finally got her eyesight back everything was covered by some kind of shadow. She heard laughter, it was coming from the right, she wanted to know what or who was laughing and looked to her right. She couldn�t believe her eyes, she saw herself, sitting next to Harika, laughing happily. After a few moments she thought that everything is the way it was before those strange happenings, but then the images of herself and Harika started to fade away and an other sound, which was coming from the left, attracted her attention. She couldn�t decide � should I go look what it is, or should I stay here?� the bench beneath her started to shake and she stood up. �I get the message!� she whispered to the sky and with that she slowly started to move towards the source of the sound. Just after a few steps she started to see something, it was a boy, fighting with a girl. The boy wore a black armour and the girl � she had long brown hair.. and a white outfit �wait a second!?!� Akiie thought �That�s me, in my Hope form.� A wave of energy almost blew Akiie down from her feet, when she looked what was going on, she saw that she was on the ground and the boy was walking towards her. Akiie was almost sure the boy was going to kill her, but instead he helped her up and said �that was a good training, you are better at this.� �Well, I had a great teacher� the other Akiie said and put her arms around him, then she kissed him. �What is going on?!? Who is He?� Akiie thought when she saw them standing there. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder, she instantly turned around, and before she could ask who that person is, she was standing face to face with the boy she had just seen training with her. �Who are you?� she asked. �You don�t recognize me?� the boy asked surprised �you don�t remember what happened before you began a life of a normal mortal?� Akiie looked away �No, I can�t remember, I just found out who I really am, I don�t know almost anything about my past.� �It�s ok� the boy said and looked into Akiies eyes again �I didn�t remember who I was too, but after we met at the school, on your first day there, I suddenly remembered everything.� After he had said that his hair changed colour and Akiie recognized him �You are Kanki! But when did we�� �You mean when we were together?� the boy asked. Akiie nodded. �It wasn�t that long ago, just about three years have passed since we were separated from each other.� He responded and then asked �Your sisters found you, dint they?� Akiie looked at him and said �yes, I met them all today, they are going to tell me all about my past when I go back to them.� �Ok, then it�s better if I wont tell you anything more,� Kanki saw Akiies surprised face and added �I am sure you�ll find it easier to believe when you hear it from your own sisters. But for now, I�m going and you should go home too.� With that he disappeared and so did the shadow what just was covering the whole park.
Pt 7
Akiie walked home, the evening sun sinking on the horizon. She still didn�t understand what she had just seen. Everything seemed so peaceful; Akiie lifted her head and noticed that she was already standing before her new homes front door. She raised her hand to open the door, but before she could do that, the door opened by itself. Akiie walked into the living room, where a gigantic table, covered with various foods. Then Arika walked into the room, saw Akiie and called for her sisters �She�s home!� all the other sisters ran to the living room, they all were in their special clothing: Azure as Truth, Arika as Help, Recca as intuition and of course the others in their other form. �What�s going on?� Akiie asked surprised. �It�s a welcome home party!� Marice replied when she took Akiies hand to take her to the table. The same moment she touched her hand, Akiies clothes changed into the clothes of Hope. They all sat down and started to eat. �Could you pass me the potatoes please?� Akiie asked shyly. �You can levitate things, didn�t you know that? Just concentrate on the item you want to have and it will float to you by itself.� Selara explained. Akiie tried it out; she concentrated on the bowl with the potatoes. It started to rise from the table, trembled a bit and then fell on the table, the bowl in million small pieces and the potatoes smashed between them. �Oh! I�m so sorry!� Akiie said and stared at the empty plate in front of her. �It�s ok Akiie. Marice, would you please?� Azure said. Marice nodded and soon the bowl with the potatoes was repaired by magic. Akiie was confused, Azure saw that and started to explain, �We all can levitate things, but we all also have abilities that others don�t have. For example, I can go into people�s souls to see what they are really like, Marice can heal everything and everyone and Monique can inspire everyone to do anything she wants. Of course we all have other abilities too.� Selara shouted, �Enough of that for now! I want to eat.� And everyone started to laugh. The table vanished after the rich meal; the sisters went to the sofas and sat down. �I met a boy today� he�s name is Kanki� do you know something about him?� Akiie told her sisters. The other sisters started to look at each other, then Azure said, �So, he survived the accident too� And he remembers everything?� Akiie looked at her sisters and saw how worried they looked, then she replied, �Yes, he remembered everything, and he told me that we used to be�� Akiie blushed �� that we were a couple. Is it true?� Marice smiled and said, �Yes, you were a couple, you loved each other very much. The fact that he was one of our enemies didn�t keep you from loving him.� �He is our enemy?� Akiie didn�t want to believe what she had just heard. �Sorry for saying this but it�s true, but he isn�t that bad, his brothers are the ones who are evil.� Said Azure. �Do you want to see what happened to you and Kanki before you were separated?� asked Selara. Akiie didn�t know what to answer, she thought about it for a few seconds and then said, �Yes, please show me�� azure teleported her mirror into the middle of the room. �You remember this, don�t you? The mirror of Truth will show you what happened. But before that I will tell you the main things that were going on before you two met.� Azure sat next to Akiie �Three years ago, we were living in total balance, the seven sisters of good and the seven brothers of evil. We hadn�t had a war for years. Now look into the mirror.� Akiie looked deep into the mirror. And this is what she saw:
Akiie was sitting in the park, Kanki was just walking around and saw Akiie sitting there, he didn�t recognise her as Hope and walked up to her and introduced himself to her. Akiie didn�t recognise him either and said �Hi Kanki, I�m Akiie. Nice to meet you.� Kanki sat next to Akiie and they talked for a while. Then Kanki said �I must go now, but I�d like to invite you to a dinner. Will you meet me here at 7?� Akiie was blushing and answered, �Yes, I�ll be here.� Kanki ran off and shouted, �Don�t be late!� Akiie was very exited, it was her first date with a human boy, or so she thought. Akiie went home, searched out a perfect outfit for the dinner and went to the living room, sat on the sofa and waited until it was time to go. The others came home at about 6 o�clock and asked Akiie why she was dressed so fancy. �I�m going to a party� Akiie explained, and then started to walk towards the park. She didn�t want to be too early so she walked around the park a few times, then about one minute before 7 she walked towards the place they were supposed to meet. Kanki was standing in front of the bench where they first met. �Hello beautiful lady, would you please come with me�
Pt 8
Kanki took Akiies hand and walked towards the centre of the park, where a fountain sprayed silvery water all over. A romantic table for two was standing right in front of it, the spotlights, which were directed at the fountain, changed the colour of the light continuously. Kanki pulled out a chair and helped Akiie to sit. Then he handed Akiie a menu, she didn�t know what exactly was going on but she started to believe Kanki was a chefs son or something like that, how else could he get such a beautiful table in the park. "So? Do you know what you would like to eat? " Kanki asked when he sat down. "I don�t know what to order" Akiie answered, then smiled and added, "I'll take the same as you, if it's alright with you?" Kanki smiled too and stood up, walked towards the bush near by and took out two plates. "What is that?� Akiie asked, "it smells delicious!" Kanki placed the plate before Akiie and said, "This is golden crisp chicken file with pine-apple pieces, rice with peas, carrot cubes, eggs and some salt and pepper. I hope that's ok..." Akiie smiled and said, "that even sounds delicious, I bet it tastes heavenly!" Kanki laughed and said "Bon apetit mon chery!" then they started to eat. "MMmmm! It is soo delicious" Akiie said and started to eat again. The dinner was a complete success, Akiie was very happy and Kanki could feel himself falling more and more in love with her. Akiie looked at Kanki and said �Thank you for this wonderful dinner and for inviting me out in the first place.� �It was my pleasure,� Kanki replied �I don�t know much about you, but I�d love to know you better.� Akiie blushed and admitted, �I don�t know you that good either, you fascinate me, you are so nice. I�d also want to learn to know you more.� Kanki was very happy to hear Akiie say that �would you mind coming out with me tomorrow too?� Akiie thought about if for a second, looked up in the clear sky, the first stars were showing and the moon was just about to reach its highest position. Then Akiie suddenly saw Kankis face, he was standing next to her and held his head above hers. He smiled and asked, �So, what do you think?� Akiie closed her eyes as she smiled and replied, � Sure, I don�t see a reason we couldn�t meet tomorrow.� She slowly opened her eyes when she felt a kiss on her cheek and heard, �Meet you here tomorrow, same time!� When Akiie had opened her eyes completely the only thing she could see was the moon, shining in a silvery glow. Then she lowered her head and noticed that she was sitting on her favourite bench, there was nothing that could of proven that there just had been a dinner table for two. Akiie was a bit surprised, but then thought she had just daydreamed for so long that it all had been �cleaned� up already �That�s it, I just dozed off without noticing.� She then stood up and thought about what Kanki had planned for the next day. *Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong� * �Aah! It�s so late already! My sisters are going to kill me when I get home!� Akiie shouted as she saw what time it was. She then looked around carefully and since no one was around, she flew home, landed just before the house and entered the building from the back door. She quietly sneaked into her room and just as she was going to close her rooms door, the lights went on, Azure, Recca and Marice were in her room. �Where were you? We were worried about you!� Recca said, then Azure added �we were attacked by the evil brothers again, we thought that you were kidnapped or something, because we couldn�t find you and besides that, one of the brothers was missing too� Marice walked to Akiie and said �I guess it was a really loud party, that could have been the reason why we couldn�t get to her. He-he-he� �It doesn�t matter anymore, at least she�s back home and as we can see she is not hurt,� Azure said as she and Recca were leaving Akiies room �Aren�t you coming Marice?� �I�ll come after in a sec, I just want to hear how the party was.� Marice said and giggled. �Ok, Akiie, you should go to bed soon, it�s really late and we must all be ready for the bad guys if they attack us tomorrow.� Recca said and smiled. Then after a few moments, when Azure and Recca had left, Marice sat down on Akiies bed and asked, �So, how was your date?� Akiie was shocked, she thought they didn�t know she was on a date and said, �What date? I was on a party, you know I was, you told so yourself.�
Pt 9
Marice blinked and said, �Like I wouldn�t notice the sparkle in your eyes.� She then stood up, put her hand on Akiies shoulder and asked �How was it then? Who is he, is he nice?� Akiie looked at Marice, she had the curious face on. Can you imagine how it looked? Akiie blushed and said �His name is Kanki, we ate dinner in the park I go every day to.� �Ooh! A dinner! And in the park, so romantic!� Marices eyes began to shine and she put her hands together. �So, what happened after you ate?� Marice blinked again. Akiie laughed a bit, Marice was so funny when she was curious. �He asked me to go out with him tomorrow too, he really wants to learn to know me better� Akiies heart started to beat faster again. �Ooh, someone is falling in love!� Marice danced around in the room. �I guess so,� Akiie admitted �and I guess he likes me too, you know he kissed me on my cheek just before he left. That means he�s really polite, right?� �Yes, he seems to be the perfect boy for you.� Marice said and smiled. �Ok, go to bed, dream something beautiful, see you in the morning!� then Marice walked out of the room and Akiie changed her clothes and went to bed, she couldn�t fall asleep, her heart was pounding so fast and loud when she thought about Kanki. �Ahh, Kanki, I wish you knew who I am, I really like you.� Then she fell asleep. Just then Kanki arrived at his house, he didn�t want to end the beautiful night that fast and that�s why he walked home instead of teleporting himself there. He looked at his home �Why must I be one of them? I don�t belong here, I�d rather be a human and spend my life with Akiie.� He entered his house, walked to his room, and said, �I was out finishing some things I had to do before tomorrow.� �Good, go to bed now, you�ll need all your strength in the fight tomorrow.� Ognus, Kankis brother, walked out of his room. Kanki laid on his bed and thought �Akiie, I wish I could tell you who I am.� He laid awake for a long time, then he closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep. A few hours later the sun was already shining in the morning sky. Kanki opened his eyes, the black ceiling never seemed to be so depressing, the dark wallpaper was just as his brothers wanted it to be, dark, blackish red, with a symbol of his dark self on the wall, remembering him, that he is one of the bad guys. He raised his hand towards the ceiling, closed his hand slowly and said �I�d leave this place, only if I could. Akiie, I hope you can make me feel like a normal boy.� �You�re awake, good, get ready, it is going to start soon.� Martus said while standing in front of Kankis room. �Wake up sleepyhead!� Marice said, while trying to wake up Akiie. �Uh! What? Do I have to get up already?� Akiie yawned and stood up. �Is it certain they are going to attack us today? I have a place I must be at.� Marice walked out of Akiies room and said �Nothing is certain my dear, nothing.� She turned around and blinked �I�m sure you�ll make it to the date.� And then she left. Akiie put on her day clothes and went to the others. A few hours later, when they all were sitting in the living room, the seven evil brothers attacked. �This time you�re going to die!� the oldest of the brothers shouted as they threw their energy balls at the seven sisters. �Don�t get hit girls! They mustn�t win!� Azure said and transformed into Truth. Soon all the seven sisters, Hope, Truth, Love, Help, Intuition , Inspiration and Trust were fighting against the brothers. Energy balls and beams flying around, Azure was fighting against Ognus, Darus attacked Selara, soon the whole room was full of dust and bright as the sun.
Pt 10
The fight has lasted for hours and the sisters are already exhausted, the evil brothers aren�t that fit anymore either. Kanki bumped into Hope, looked at her and thought it was Akiie �No, it cant be! I�m mistaken, it�s not her! Akiie is a normal girl!� he thought and turned towards Hope �Please, don�t make me hurt you, it�s not worth it.� Akiie couldn�t understand what was going on, the evil brothers were all supposed to be evil, �Why did he say that?� she thought and asked Kanki �Who are you? Why are you attacking us?� �Good job brother! Get her! We�ll need a prisoner!� one of Kankis brother shouted as he saw Kanki standing in front of Hope. Kanki looked at his brothers and said �They don�t see what we could achieve with peace! I don�t want to fight�� he then looked at Hope again and just to be sure she wouldn�t recognise him he said �My name is Iknak.� Intuition saw Kanki standing in front of Hope and thought he was going to hurt her. She attacked Kanki and just as she hit him with her thunder chain, Hope shouted �No! He�s not like his brothers!� Intuition was shocked about what Hope just had said and didn�t know what to do next. Kanki fell to the floor, the injuries were really bad, Hope started to glow in bright silvery blue glow, the evil brothers saw Kanki on the floor. They thought Hope was about to attack. The brothers teleported themselves, including Kanki, home. �Why do we have to fight? Can�t we live in peace?� Akiie asked as the glow and her Hope appearance faded away. Azure walked to Akiie and explained �Dear, We�d also like to live the normal people do, but the brothers, they have changed.� �Iknak wants to live in peace too! He doesn�t want to fight against us!� Akiie shouted and turned away. �It has to be true, I�m sure Akiie knows what she heard.� Trust said and put her hands on Akiies shoulders. �I�m sure we�ll be able to restore the peace we lost.� Selara said as she looked at Akiie and Trust. Marice walked to Akiie and whispered into her ear �Calm down and look at the time, you�ll have to go soon.� Akiie looked at the clock and noticed it was already half six. �I�m sorry I have to go.� She said as she turned around to go to her room. �I�ll be back in a few hours, ok?� �Sure, go, but be careful.� Azure said and Akiie walked to her room. �Stay still Kanki! The wounds are really bad.� Darus said as he started to bandage Kankis wounds. Kanki almost lost consciousness as the bandages pressed on the bleeding holes in his body. �What time is it?� Kanki asked and tried to sit up. �No, stay lying!� Darus shouted and made Kanki lie down again. �It�s about half seven right now.� He said and left the room. Kanki lied on his bed �Akiie is already waiting for me, I cant let her down.� Hi slowly started to stand up, opened the closet door, and took out a black shirt. Just as Kanki started to close the closet door again, Martus said, �Are you going somewhere?� �I just want to do something, I cant just lie around all the time� Kanki said and put on the black shirt. �You know you should let the wounds heal before you start playing your games again.� Martus said and smirked. Kanki smiled and said, �Now that�s my problem.� He left his house and walked towards the park, he was supposed to meet Akiie. As soon as he had entered the park, he saw Akiie sitting on her favourite bench, she looked worried. �Hey! Why the serious face?� Kanki asked as cheerful as he could, to make her smile again. Akiie was surprised when she heard his voice, and replied, �Hi! It�s nothing, just a family problem.� Akiie smiled because she didn�t want him to worry about that. �So, what are we going to do today?� Akiie asked as she stood up. �What would you like to do?� Kanki asked and held his right hand on his wounds on his stomach, they were aching so badly, that it was quite hard for him to seem happy. �Well�� Akiie thought for a while and said �we could just go for a walk now, and we�ll see what we�ll going to do later.� �That�s a great idea,� Kanki said and took Akiies right hand in his left hand. Then as they started to walk, he asked Akiie if she�d mind to tell him something about herself. Akiie smiled and started to tell him about her hobbies, about what she likes, and she doesn�t like. Although she was entirely honest, she didn�t tell him anything about her being Hope. �Are you ok?� Akiie asked as she saw how Kanki shivered. �It�s nothing, don�t worry about me,� Kanki said and tried to walk ahead. Akiie stood in front of him, put her hands on his waist, and said �I�m not stupid! There is something wrong with you, I can see it!� Kanki took Akiies hands off his bandaged waist and before he could say anything, Akiie saw blood on her hands and shouted �You�re hurt! Why didn�t you tell me! I must get you to a hospital right now!� Akiies eyes were full of tears, and some of them, rolled down her cheeks, fell on her hands and on the ground. The teardrops glowed, as they hit something. Kanki fell on the ground as the pain struck through his whole body. He managed to say �Don�t be afraid, it�s all going to be as it was before.� After saying that, he looked at Akiie and everything around them turned black.
Pt 11
�What�s happening!� Akiie asked, when she got over the shock. �Who are you?� She shouted as she looked at Kanki lying on the ground. �Please, don�t be afraid, I�ll explain everything�� Kanki said as he tried to stand up. Akiie didn�t know if she should help him, she couldn�t move, she just kept on looking at Kanki with eyes full of doubt and fear. When Kanki was completely standing up he drew a symbol on his forehead with his left hands finger. After doing that his body started to glow in a dark red color. As son as the glow disappeared Kanki no longer looked like hi did before, his hair and clothes were changed. �You are Iknak? One of the evil brothers!� Akiie shouted and backed away from him. �What do you want from me?� Kanki was shocked, he thought she didn�t know who he was �How did you know, that I�m one of the evil brothers?� He turned away and stared at his hands. �You�re a normal girl, right? I�m sorry for being a boy like this.� He turned to face Akiie again and added �I just want to be a normal human and share my life with a normal girl like you��. Akiie walked towards Kanki and said �I want to be a normal human too,� She then transforms into Hope and added, �But I�m afraid we cant be normal.� She gently hugged Kanki and him to lie down and put his head on her lap, so that he could rest. Kanki soon fell asleep and Akiie stroke his hair, looked up in the sky, the stars were shining brightly. Tears started to fall from Akiies face as she thought about their fate. �Please, don�t be sad.� Kanki said and opened his eyes. Akiie looked down on Kanki, he had her tears on his forehead. �I�m sorry I woke you up.� Akiie said and smiled sweetly and put her hand on his chest, asking �Are you feeling better?� �Yes, being here with you soothes my pain, I wish we could stay here like this forever.� Kanki said and put his hand on Akiies hand, which was still on his chest. �Do you think our families could make up, and can we live together, like normal humans?� Akiie asked and looked into the sky. Kanki pulled her head back down to face his and said �I�m sure we can make them get along, we just have to show them it is possible to live in peace.� �But how are we going to do that?� Akiie asked. �we�ll have to make them listen to us, see, what have in mind.� Kanki replied as he looked deep into Akiies eyes and asked �What do you think, are your sisters worried about you, it is really late.� �Time doesn�t mean anything to me while we�re together.� She replied, looking into Kankis eyes. His eyes were so warm, she felt happy and calm. Akiie lowered her head and kissed Kanki. Their lips seemed to have melted together, because they didn�t want to go apart for minutes. after the kiss Akiie and Kanki sat in each others arms for a long time, they didn�t talk, and didn�t think about anything but how much they love each other. It was so beautiful, how they sat there, with no noises disturbing their peace. The black leaves of the dark trees were totally still. Suddenly a warm wind blew and the sounds of the city returned. Kanki said �We must go back home now, as they will be very worried, and I don�t want them to think we were kidnapped or something, you know how paranoid they can be.� �You�re right.� Akiie said and helped Kanki to stand up. �Be careful when you go home, I hope the wounds are going to heal fast.� Akiie told Kanki, where he can find her, so that they could meet when he is feeling better. �I love you Akiie.� Kanki said, kissed her and teleported himself to his room. �I love you too�� Akiie whispered into the warm summer wind.
Pt 12
Kanki laid on his bed his brothers were in the room and looked at him. �They hurt you bad, we shouldn�t let it be without a revenge,� Ognus said and Martus nodded �I agree, this time there is no turning back.� Kanki lifted his upper body, by supporting on his elbows, and shouted �Why are you so damn foolish!� he looked away from his brothers and added �My injuries are nothing compared to what we will destroy when this all goes on.� �You are a bit rebellious today,� Solito said and smirked �must be the hallutsinations from the wounds. You better lay down again and cure out the stupid injuries, so that we can end all this nonsense.� �Listen to us, you know we are the only ones you can truly trust� Korin said and left Kankis room. One by one the other brothers followed him. Soon, Kanki was all alone in his room. �Akiie� Akiie! Can you hear me?� a voice sounded from the desk. Akiie opened the drawer and took out a cell-phone. �Kanki, hi, is something wrong?� �Everything is ok for now, but when I�m back on my feet, we�ll have big problems. My brothers are planning to attack you then. They just don�t listen to me, I�ve tired to make them understand that we should stop fighting before something really bad happens.� �It�s ok, we still have time.� Akiie responded and sat down on her bed, looked up to the ceiling and asked Kanki how he was feeling today. They talked for a few more minutes, but then Akiie heard footsteps from the hallway. �Someone is coming, bye Kanki, get well soon and good luck with your brothers.� �Bye my angel.� Kanki whispered and closed the connection. Akiie blushed and thought �He called me angel, and the way he said it made my heart jump.� �Hello!� Marice shouted as she sneaked into Akiies room. �Why are you blushing?� she asked as she looked around in Akiies room. �Oh, it is just�� Akiie started to answer, but Marice cut in �Kanki, right? So, how is he?� Akiie didn�t know what to tell her, she wasn�t supposed to tell anyone about who Kanki is, so she walked up to her closet and pretended that she was looking for something and said �He�s doing fine, were going out on our third date tonight. I think I have never been so happy before.� Akiie said, looked at Marice and smiled. �Ok, I hope you�ll have fun!� �Hey, Marice, what are you and the other sisters up to?� Marice walked to the closet, stood next to Akiie and took a beautiful dress out of the closet. �Here you are. Well we haven�t done anything too interesting, we just discussed about when we will have to consider with another attack.� �But what if we can finish this argument before it comes to another battle?� Akiie asked and looked at Marice. �Do you really think that they will listen to us, they barely trust each other, why should they trust us then.� Marice turned around away and added �But it would be heavenly if we could stop fighting. If we could only get one of then to trust us, we could even achieve it.� Marice then walked out of Akiies room and went to talk to Azure. She explained what she and Akiie have just talked about and Azure answered �That is a great idea, the only problem is, how can we make one of them trust us.� �Well, we haven�t thought about it yet, hopefully we will have enough time to figure it out before they attack.� Azure nodded, started to go but then turned around and asked �Marice, what has Akiie been doing, she has been avoiding us lately.� Marice had promised Akiie not to tell anyone about her boy friend, so she just said �She is tired of the fighting. She said she is going out soon.� �It�s all ok as long as it isn�t anything bad,� Azure said and smiled. Meanwhile, Akiie had left the house, she started to run. Around the park, through the middle of the city and stopped in front of a house similar to hers. �The house has a weird aura. I wonder who lives here, could it be Kankis home?� she asked herself. Kanki was just a few hundred meters away from Akiie. He suddenly felt a good energy that was coming from outside, he recognized it as Akiies and locked the door, made it so, that no one can enter his room, unless he invites them. Then he stood at the door, facing his bed and said �Magitus Teleportus Akiie!� Akiie started to feel like she would be floating and before she understood what was going on, she was sitting on a bed. �Where am I?� Akiie asked when she found herself in a dark colored room, she then noticed Kanki, ran to him and put her arms around him and her head on his shoulder. �Oh Kanki, what are we going to do? How can we convince our families to accept each other as friends.�
