Enna, Chapter 3

          We just stared at each other for a long time.  I was really confused.  Why did I remember her and no one else?  Why did she remember me?  Well, I guess it doesn't matter anyway.  I don't think I'll be able to figure it out. 

          "Spirit . . . why are you the only thing I remember?"  I asked her anyway.  She sat down and looked up at me with a confused look. 

          "You mean . . . your mind is blank too?"  She sighed and looked at the ground.  She seemed sad.  I reached out to her. 

          "...Spirit - " 

          "Well, I guess it doesn't matter!  The only thing that matters is that we are together.  Right?"  She gave a little laugh. 

          "U-uh ..."

          "Well, I'm bored!  Let's go look around!"  She bit the sleeve of my shirt and pulled me to my feet.

          "O-OK."  Spirit led me to the apple orchard.  It was beautiful!  All of the trees were blooming with pink and white flowers.  We walked around for a bit, not saying a word.  Spirit looked really down.  I wonder what happened.  I decided to say something.

          "Spirit?"  I said concerned.  

          "Hmm?"

          "Is ... something wrong?"  Spirit looked at the ground, then looked back at me.

         "No...I just -"  She was cut off by a strange noise. 

          Crack...Crack...It sounded like it came from the tree above us, then was silent. 

          "OKaaay... That was -"  CRACK!  A limb broke off of the tree and landed on top of me.

          "KYAA!"  Spirit jumped away in time, but I was hit,  (she didn't even try to bother to help me...that little brat,,,)  I tried to get up, but I couldn't.  There was something on my back.  I turned to look at it.  Surprisingly, it wasn't a limb.  It was that boy from earlier! 

          "Uhh...Could you get off of me please?"  I think he heard me because he jumped right up and kneeled on the ground as an apology.  But he didn't say anything.  He just kept bowing his hands as if to say "I'm sorry".

          "Umm...It's OK...I forgive you..."  I told him.  He stopped moving and stared at me.  Then all of a sudden his eyes opened real wide and he stood up and started waving his arms. 

          "Uhh...?  OK, man, just spit it out."  He never said anything.  I don't think he could say anything.  He just waved his arms and pretended he was holding a pole.

         "...Your staff?  What about it?"  He pointed up to the tree.  I looked up.  His staff was stuck up in the tree. 

          "You want me to get it?  Why can't you?"  He looked down at his right ankle.  He had it propped up. 

          "Oh, you hurt your ankle?"  I asked.  He nodded. 

          "Ok I'll get it, so just wait a minute, OK?"  I climbed up the tree with ease and got the staff, then jumped down.  I handed it to him.  "Here you go!"  He smiled at me.  I flashed him a big smile.  He gave me a little one. 

          "Y'know what? I like you!  Want to be friends?"  He stared at me with a reallly surprised look.  I held out my hand to him and it took him awhile before he finally took it.  He looked up at me and gave me a big smile this time. 

          "Let me see your ankle."  I said.  I led him to a tree and he sat down against it.  He stuck out his leg, and I examined it. 

          "Hmm"  I started.  "It looks like you sprained it, but I think it will be OK!" He sighed.

          "...Whats wrong?" I asked him. He shook his head. This boy is interesting. I wonder why he can't talk.

          Spirit tapped on my leg. Ooops. I kinda forgot she was there.

        "What?"

          "Enna...he looks depresed. Do you think we should tell somebody?" Quickly the boy lunged forward and shook his head no rapidly.

          "no? but shouldn't you- wait a- YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME??" spirit yelled. The boy nodded.

          "H-H-How??" the boy shrugged. Ilooked at spririt then back at the boy.

          "are you all alone?" I asked him. He shook his head and started looking around as if he were looking for something.

          "Someone is with you?" I asked. He nodded then pointed at spirit.

          "What!?" Spirit said as she jumped up.

          " you...have a wolf like spirit with you?" I figured. He nodded.

          " well where is she?" just as I said that a big wolf came running twords us. She stopped abruptly and almost fell on the boy.

         "Oh!" It suprised me. The wolf looked at the boy then spirit then me then the boy again.

          "who are they?" she said in a frightneing voice.

          "um...excuse me." I said.She turned around to look at me. "this boy fell and hurt his ankle." She looked back at the boy then at me.

         "I see I apologise for getting my suspicions up...its just that im not used to seeing other people around him."

          "Whys that?" the wolf stared at the groung for a minuet then she began.

          "About 2 months ago, we arived here, not remembering anything about were we came from and everything. We tried to settle in but no one would exept us so we came here and we're in hidding." She told us.

          "Just like us!" Spirit chirped. She scared me so I jumped when she said that.

          "well, not the part about being here for 2 months and not being exepted but we can't remember anything either !weird huh? Maby we come from the same place?" She said really fast.

          "Hmmm... I don't think so." Said the wolf.

           "oh? why not?"

          " I don't think I would have lived with such a absent brained wolf such as yourself." I almost started laughing.

          "Excuse me!?!" Spirit yelled," What do you mean 'absent brained'???"

          "heh. you don't get it do you? our masters have different skin tones." By masters she meant me and the boy. She was right. My skin was whiter than his. He had a dark golden brown color. This means we come from differnet places probably.

          "huh? I don't get it." spirit remarked.

          "exactly. Absent brained."

          "why you little-"

          "what do you mean little? Im biger than you."

          "GHASTERFLABBERGABBEN!!!" Spirit yelled. We all just stared at her.

           "Yeaaaah..." I said to her. She gave me a disgusted look. The boy smiled.

          "whatever."said the wolf smiling also,"i was just kidding."

          "suuUUuure." said spirit.

          " so anyway, what are your names?"

          " My name is Enna and the wolf over there, thats spirit." I said to the wolf.

          "well its nice to meet you Enna and spirit! My name is Meka and the boy is Soun."she said.

          "Soun ey? its nice to meet you soun! I hope we can be great friends." I said to him. He nodded. I had a feeling that something was starting.
