Chapter 3
Calling
“ Now, now Momo you should know better than trying to go outside.” an older woman explained to eight year old Momo.
The little girl dressed in a white dress sighed.” I know mommy, but all I want to do is play with the other kids. Can’t I do that?”
Momo’s mom stroked her child’s cheek.” No matter how much fun it seems the people of the outside world are just going to try and kill you. Like I’ve said before you’re different.” There was anger in her tone.
Momo looked away. The small child did not understand her mother’s words- only that people are bad. The woman patted Momo on the head and walked into the kitchen, on the 2nd floor. The little girl ran down the stairs and towards the open living room window. Her mother allowed the little girl to watch the outside world through the window.
Momo perched herself on the windowsill.
“Who are you?” A boy asked.
Momo gazed down to see a black haired boy sitting down in the garden- just under the window. He was dressed in a black shirt and blue jeans. She just stared. She had never anticipated she’d ever talk to another child like herself.
“How come I’ve never seen you at the Grass village Ninja Academy?” he said.
"or any where else in the village?"
He smiled.” Its okay if you don’t want to talk. I’ll do all of it for you.”
The gray eyed boy continued to talk with Momo, even though she didn’t answer him. She was surprised that he was so interested in her. After awhile she did want to answer back.
“I’m Momo.” She finally told him.
The boy giggled." You have a cool name Momo.”
Momo blushed." Oh by the way I am Kai. Kai Uduro.” Kai added.
An intese urgde to be outside overwelmbed Momo. She jumped out of the window. She landed next to him. They both just stared into each other’s eyes. I like him. He’s kinder to me than Mommy.
“ Kai?” Momo asked.
“Yes?” He said.
The little girl didn't know what to say. She had never really talked to anyone besides her mom.
“Will you be my friend? You can take me to that ninja academy you’re going to, and we’ll hang out.” Momo pleaded.
Kai extended his arm towards Momo. His hand was open." Sure. Let’s swear to be friends forever and always be together.” Kai decided.
Momo lifted her arm and took his hand. They shook, and the promise was made.
Kai’s laughter was all Momo could hear, but something strange was happening. His laughter first was playful and child like, but then it turned twisted. she could hear something menacing in it. Almost filled with a bloodlust. It was something from her nightmares.
Darkness swept around Momo’s vision. She could only see her hand. The blonde was lost. Separated from the light of the happiness she had once had with in her grasp, Momo had given up. Nothing was left for her. Not even her dreams could give her joy- all she could see was the emptiness of a heart left to die.
Momo stared at her hands. I wonder if he’ll remember me?
Then a bright light blinded Momo- causing her to cover her face. Instantly she felt it. Sadness much like hers, but unlike hers this sadness still had hope inside of it. The light filled with sadness but still had a person's hope, was giving warmth onto her cold limp body. Even when she was dreaming her real body felt the warmth as if it was surrounding her.
Momo uncovered her face. Is the light calling to me? Can it be asking for me to save it, or is it giving me hope as well? What is happening?
The light, is caused her to awake.
Momo jolted up. She was still in the grass area by the river. It’s still calling to me- even when I’m awake.
The girl forced herself to stand up. She had to answer the light’s call. It was almost instinct to follow the voice, which was crying into the night sky. Shaking the earth with a bloody cry.
