(A/N) I intended it to be a looong one-shot but the ideas about this story kept haunting my nights and so I decided it to become one full complete story.
ENJOY!!!!
First Flower: Mysterious Girl.
Roxas was dealing with the usual customers when she entered and it seemed that time had stopped. She was wearing a plain dress and it seemed that she had made no effort in making her look pretty. But he thought that she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Her eyes wandered around the store, as if she was looking for something which was long lost. Roxas walked towards her.
"How can I help you?" he asked the same question he asked from every customer. She looked at him, with an emotionless face and shook her head. Roxas wanted to listen to her voice but as she didn't say anything, he felt a little disappointed. She walked past him and Roxas closed his eyes. Her sweet scent made him feel light hearted. He couldn't recognize the perfume though. Maybe it was the scent of the soul, just like his friend cum sister Kairi had told him, "Sometimes when you smell a sweet scent but you can't recognize what it is, it's the scent of a pure soul." Maybe she was a pure soul. Roxas looked back at her to see that she was standing near cupboard which was full of stuff related to painting. She stared at them as if they were treasure. She picked up a sketch book, some color pencils and other stuff and walked towards the counter. Roxas was going to go to the counter but he was stopped when an old rack fell down again. He fixed it and when he looked back, there was no sign of the mysterious girl.
As Roxas was going to close the store, the door opened.
"Sorry, we are closed," he said without even turning to look back to who had just entered.
"I am here just to return something," a very calm and sweet yet sad voice rang in his ear. He looked back to see the same girl from the morning looking at him. He was surprised to see her standing just twenty feet away from him. She was wearing a coat even though it was still summer. She was carrying a bag with her.
"I am sorry," he apologized for his strange behavior. She made no response for this and put the bag on the nearby counter.
"It was something I bought this morning. Maybe you don't remember me but I did come here," she said without making any eye contact with him.
"I do," he said in a low voice, mesmerized by her.
"Sorry?" the girl looked up at him, confused.
"Oh, I am sorry but why are you returning this stuff? Didn't you like it?" Roxas, who was still confused for her reason to come here.
"No, it was good it's just that……I don't have any place to use them," she said as if hiding something and touched her left shoulder gently. Roxas felt her wince.
"Well, then you can pick a time and come here to paint," Roxas offered her, not knowing himself that where she will use them. She looked as if she wanted to say 'yes' but her answer was "Thanks for the offer but no. I am sorry." With that said, she walked out of the store. Roxas wanted to know what was stopping that girl. He watched her turn around a dark corner and disappear in the dark night.
Okay so I know that the first chapter was extremely lame. But the story is totally original and genuine. One more thing that all the incidents are placed in Twilight Town but you will find characters from different worlds. Using Twilight Town was important for me because the entire plot revolves around one particular thing.
Sorry if you find the characters going a bit too OCC.
Now please, review and tell me if I should continue.
Jane!
