.:One Child:.
The snow was soft as it danced lightly to the ground. The buildings were alive with Christmas lights and even some people dancing here and there. Toons had also joined the fun in the small town known Lonoke. Jolly music could be heard as both humans and toons danced until their hearts content. The dancing was mainly in the center of town, where a courthouse stood tall and proud. On its large steps were a band, both of humans and toons. The music was upbeat and lively, causing joy to fill in the hearts of everyone.
One toon was sitting on the eagle statue. It was clear she was on the weasel origin, but, alas, unlike most toon weasels, she had a long and fluffy tail. A smile was on her fluffy, auburn face as her golden hair fell down over her shoulders. In her paws was a little kit, who was most likely about two years old. The kit smiled and giggled, bouncing in her mother’s arm. The kit was a great contrast to her mother, making it clear her father had dominated genes. The kit was female, with oval, violet eyes that seemed to glow on this joyous night. Her fur was as white as the snow while midnight blue hair fell from her head and covered her small ears. Her tail formed an S shape as she clung onto her mother’s blue shirt, snuggling into her strawberry scent.
A shot was heard and the band stopped at a halt. People slowed their dancing as murmuring began, everyone looking west for what had happened. The mother weasel held her daughter close, her eyes wide. Seconds passed as everyone became silent, their heartbeats the only music right now.
Soon, the hooves of a horse reached the mother and everyone else, including the kit. Peeking out, she blinked as nothing was there. The hooves were in a pattern like a clock. Tick….tock….tick…tock. The lights on the town were soon blown out, gaining a gasp from some, even a quiet scream.
Families clung onto each others, men standing in front with a pitchfork or any other kind a farming tool. Women held onto their young children for dear life as the female teenagers comforted their mothers, the males standing close to their fathers, a similar weapon in their hand.
The mother weasel felt a hand on her shoulder and she jumped, turning to find it was only a paw and the paw belong to Copper. His brown eyes stared at her as he glanced back to the west, where the hooves had not stopped. Finally he broke the silence, murmuring, “It’s the Heartless…”
No one else could hear him. They were all too busy guarding their family. The mother stared at Copper, glancing back to the west before asking, “Are you sure,” in a hushed tone.
He nodded; his floppy ears hanging lower than normal. “No one will live,” his gaze trailed down to the kit, who was staring up at him. He looked back at the mother. She bit her lip, her white teeth glowing in the night as warm tears started to fall down her cheeks. She looked down at her kit, and kissed her nose and her head, murmuring, “I love you.”
She looked back at Copper and placed her around her neck. “You hang on to Copper, okay, baby?” The little one nodded, understanding as she gripped his color. The dog licked the mother’s face before running to the east, where silence met him. His paws hit the ground hard as he went as fast as he could, the kit hanging onto his collar. Screams were soon heard as growls and metals clanked. Even then, the dog didn’t stop. His breath came out in puffs of clouds as his ears flew out behind him, never hitting the kit.
The dog was hit with an arrow and the kit screamed, rolling to the ground as Copper fell into a tree. He yelped before falling into the snow, his eyes closing in pain. The kit hugged herself as she looked around her, trying to figure out what to do. She whimpered when she noticed the shadows were moving.
Hands seem to pull shadows up as yellow, glowing, eyes blinked at her. Walking from the shadows was another being. She was clearly some type of spider, red legs thin and sharp with eyes of glowing red. Her frame was thin until you came to her legs, then it jutted out to that of being a bit fat, much like any other spider.
“Good shadows, you found me a snack…” she smiled, vampire teeth gleaming as the shadows hugged her legs, blinking at the young kit. The kit glanced at Copper and noticed it wasn’t an arrow that hit him. Well, not a normal arrow. It glowed green as purple smoke came from where hit Copper. The kit felt someone touch her face and she panicked, looking up at the odd spider woman. She smiled wickedly as she brought the kit up by the scruff of her neck, causing her to whimper in pain.
“That arrow lodged in your friend is from me, little one. Soon, the poison will reach his heart and he will die.” She smiled, glancing at Copper. The kit shivered in her grasp. The spider woman laughed before bringing the kit higher. The spider woman opened her mouth and the kit screamed.
An electric whip shot out from the darkness, grabbing the spider woman’s hand as she hissed, throwing the kit down. Something else shot from the darkness as a Grovyle quickly grabbed the kit, stopping her fall. The whip shot out again and wrapped around the spider woman’s wrist. She gasped and glared, her eyes glowing. The Grovyle jumped away from her and quickly made his way into a tree, where he knew they would be safe. He used bullet seed as the whip dragged her to the ground. Her hiss filled the air as heartless came to her aid. The Grovyle smirked as he used bullet seed again, turning all heartless to dust of darkness. When all were gone and the spider woman realized she was alone, she growled.
Stepping out of the shadows, the gun which the whip came from in her hand, was a woman in a tight, blue, outfit. Long, blonde, hair was in a ponytail as blue eyes glared at the spider woman. “Thought I got rid of you in Washington, Contessa.”
The one known as Contessa laughed, her eyes closing. “As if someone such as you could get rid of me, Samus.”
The woman known as Samus stomped on her arm, a crack being heard. The Contessa screamed as Samus said, “That’s Aran for you.”
The Grovyle chuckled as he hopped down, the kit still in his green hands. Samus’ whip slid back into the gun as she aimed at the Contessa’s face. The Contessa stared at her, a deep frown on her face. “You wouldn’t-“
She never finished her sentence. Samus shot and a green blaster hit the Contessa dead and center. The Grovyle made sure the kit didn’t see any of the blood that fell. Silence soon filled the night. The Grovyle’s eyes looked over at the now dead Copper. He looked back at the kit and said, “We can’t leave her here, Samus.”
“I know that, Mercury.” She said, rubbing her head.
She looked back at the kit before turning back to Mercury. She asked, “Do you know anyone who could care for her?”
“Why not me?” He asked, bringing the kit up to look at her. He smiled and the kit gave a small smile, clearly starting to get used to him.
Samus remained silent until she said, “Fine, but I can’t help you get back to the woods.”
“No problem…Thank you, Samus.” Mercury said before jumping off into the night.
The kit hugged his neck as he ran on, his speed impressive, even for a Grovyle. It was clear that he had spent years around the area, for no rock or branch could slow him. He never stopped and the kit never looked to see where they were going. It wasn’t until he pet her midnight blue hair that she peeked out.
Mushrooms glowed a beautiful blue as a giant oak tree stood in the middle of them. Many creatures she never seen looked out at her. One creature was a female Renamon. The fox like creature blinked at the kit, saying, “What is that?”
“It’s a kit. I took it upon myself to raise her. The Heartless killed her family.” Mercury said quickly, making his way to the tree. The Renamon let him pass, her gaze never leaving the kit’s small form. Mercury ignored the murmurs of the others as he sat the kit down on one of the tree’s giant roots that came above ground. He started getting leaves and making a nest.
His eyes stayed glued on the nest, only glancing a few times at the kit. He smiled at her when he was done, setting her in the nest.
To her shock, it was soft. The kit didn’t realize how sleepy she was until her head rested in the leaves. Mercury smiled down at her, his yellow eyes showing tenderness for the little one. He nuzzled her shoulder as he murmured, “Your name will be Jasmine, after the flower.”
The kit now known as Jasmine smiled up at him, before slowly closing her eyes and letting sleep take her.
