more of mah fiction
Heddo ppls! Don't mind me I'm just feeling extra giddy today for some reason. Anyway, I'm posting a short story for a Prank contest. It's for a club on Deviantart (my galleryname's CrimsonHime228) called 'Corrupted-Hearts', a make-your-own heartless thing based on the monsters in Kingdom Hearts. I was assigned to pull a prank on another heartless, Jiinx, with my heartless, Tatal. I really wanted to do an art piece, but I've only had the time to write a fiction piece (exams and all). So! here's the story

Instinct is always a good excuse
My mind, was completely blank. I’ve been stuck in a lazy slump for almost 14 days. It’s even gotten to the point where hearts do not seem as enticing, which is the exact opposite of my whole nature. As a heartless, I sleep, scare others, take their hearts, and be on my way. But this was different. One day I just didn’t feel like taking anything. All that would happen to me was I’d wander the worlds, just watching other heartless in secret. They could take the hearts with ease, make it seem like nothing could tear them away from what is the natural drive for what might be out intended survival. I couldn’t help but envy them, as it seemed my ‘instinct’ had vanished alltogether.
My travels took me to HalloweenTown, where I met with a fellow heartless, Jiinx. I don’t even know how were able to elevate to positive terms with each other, maybe it was because of that charm power of hers. Regardless, I found myself walking beside her to a grove beyond the Pumkin Hill, where multiple scragging trees and streams were abundant. I couldn’t even remember that much of what we were discussing, but somewhere along the line it got more, philisophical.
“Perhaps the reason why we lose to the darkness is because we are weak, no matter how strong we think we may be.”
“I see, so maybe it’s not a matter of the will of physical strength, but the matter of the will of one’s soul?”
“Something like that. I’m getting bored with this chatter, what made you lose interest in hearts anyway?”
“To be honest, I’m not really sure myself. One day I just didn’t feel that thrill when a heart is freshly picked from the victim.”
Part of me felt uneasy telling Jiinx this. She was someone I could confide in, but it had a slight hint of humility confessing my little….interference. A sigh escaped me as we walked near a wall. I could hear deep water currents rushing on the other side, probably a larger river. Something flickered in my gut, only to burn out again the next second.
“I feel kinda bad for you Tatal, I don’t know what I would do if I lost my will. Who knows when it might come back?”
There it was again, that little spark, but it seemed to be stronger and more persistent. Suddenly, it hit me. In that small instant, I found what I needed to do to help me recover. If I had a light bulb in my head, it would have blown up from the rush of genius that was quickly sinking in. I looked to Jiinx, then to the wall, then to Jiinx again. I smirked and lead her to the wall. It was a good thing my face was covered, otherwise my little plan would fail before it began. Oh yes, this was going to be good.
“Hey Jiinx, what do you think is behind this wall?”
“I don’t know, probably a river that leads out to the town. Why?”
“Only one way to find out hmm?”
“What do you mea-”
Before she could finish, I grabbed her next to me. With all of my power I pulled, or rather ‘ghosted’ us both through the wall without breaking it, and in the next moment I took her into the cold river’s currents. With better timing than I expected, I managed to land myself near the banks while simultaneously dunking her. After a few minutes she came up sputtering, drenched from head to toe, shivering the whole while. That did it. I collapsed on the dirt in laughter, clutching my sides, she looked so ridiculous. She said nothing, but in the next second she was in her beast form, glaring at me with intent to kill. Uh oh.
“WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?!”
“Hehehe….well, my friend. It seems as though I’ve got my ‘kick’ back, eh?”
No words from her, just a roar that pushed me aback. So much for that excuse, even if it was the truth. I turned on my heels at the fastest pace I could muster. The hunt began. I wasn’t worried, this has happened before. Whenever she got like this, I’d just run until I could either hide, or she got tired of chasing. This time around though, it felt kind of exhilirating. I guess having reclaimed my instinct left a sharper sense upon me. Of course seeing Jiinx waterlogged from head to toe to the bone wasn’t half bad either.
Perhaps lack of instinct is the best excuse after all.
**************************
This probably won't make sense to anyone because I never really bothered to even bring up my activities on DevArt and my OCs. Ah well, I'm too lazy to go over it all right now, plus I think I might make others fall asleep trying to explain. Later!
