The Age of the Heart

Though Alice was awake, sort of, there was something very wrong. Instead of the golden hazel irises she normally had and now was an oddly cold silvery blue. "Nnnnh..." Her eyes focused on Auran and she narrowed her new silver eyes at him, "Somethin' you're looking at, boy?"

 

"Uhhmm wha-whats wrong Alice? Your eyes....?" Auran said, shocked at the way she spoke to him

 

Alice smiled harshly and stood, brushing him off, "Hmph, Alice...I never liked that name. But of course, since I'm the dead one. She gets all the praise and names and power and yada, yada, yada." The new Alice set a hand on her hip and glared down at Auran, "Hmmm, I suppose your question is valid. I am Nova. Alice's dead, though quite regretably, twin sister. I died, Alice was sad, she promised....Promised, me a nice place in her heart and...well here I am! I never did like being locked up. It's not fun inside a child's head. Alice never actually grew up....she's so naive....so......dumb." Nova harshly put down her twin that she now inhabited her body.

 

"Hey, why is there so much hatred towards her?? She still gave you a place to stay didnt she? Now what have you done with her?" Auran said, starting to regret asking the question

 

Nova relaxed her hateful glare, "Why do I hate her? It's simple dear child. Because she lived and I died. Alice was weak, she was always sick and I was strong. Both magically and in strength. Alice STOLE my right for life! And now I'm simply taking it back." Nova spoke as if it were the easiest thing in the world to grasp. "As for where she is...she's safe. As long as she doesn't mind the dark and silence....the same darkness and silence that I endured my entire life!" Nova pointed Alice's finger at Auran, "You've no idea how much I've longed for my chance to see the sky again...hear the wind and listen to people's voices...and know the touch of another living...being..." she spoke slower as she went on and stared greedily at Auran.

 

"Hhhmm but how is that her fault?? It was Fate's decision, not hers, you need to know that... Why are you looking at me like that??" Auran said as he say how Nova was looking at him

 

"Darkness is not something to be taken lightly, zombie" Gexln shot at Nova.

 

OOC: Shot what?

bic: Nova ignored the comment about being a zombie, as thus she wasn't in her own body. "You're...the first human I've seen in....about 4000 years and that was just the last time I was freed from Alice's heart. I...I just...." she reached out cautiously, despite Nova being a different person, it was still Alice's body.

 

OOC: pretty much like he snapped at her in other words

IC:Auran was shocked at Nova's words, and his body would not move, no matter how hard he tried. "Wh-what are you d-doing??" He asked, still shocked

 

OOC: It's a saying lol he pretty much just insulted Nova
IC: "She's just going to take your children, Auran" Gexln said sarcastically.

 

"Oh damn! Dude im still worried..." Auran said, as he still couldnt move

 

Nova smiled gently, or rather it seemed more like Alice's smile she gave him, "There's nothing to fear....Alice is still very much present too." Her hand touched his face and a burst of golden hazel exploded in her eyes, engulfing the silver for a second before reverting back. Nova tilted her head to the side, quizzically, "Alice has such...confusing emotions around you in particular. I wonder..." Alice snarled into her sisters consciousness, Touch him anymore and you're deader than you already are! Nova smiled, "Indeed little sister? I no longer need to wonder, for your thoughts are certainly your worst ally." Alice growled again and Nova lightly pulled on Auran's hair, "So handsome...."

 

Auran could only watch as Nova played with his hair, then he found his voice again "What are you planning?? Come on Alice, if your in there, fight it" Auran hoped that his voice would give Alice strength

 

"That thing's taken over, much like the darkness did with me. It'll take alot for her to break free, believe me" Gexln explained.

 

"Yes but i saw Alice fighting, i saw it in her eyes..."Auran said, and he thought Damn! if only i could move!

 

Gexln shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe she is fighting it, who knows? Either way, if she was trapped inside for as long as she said...it'll be next to impossible to bring her out" he stated.

 

Nova snarled and whatever hold Alice was trying to regain slipped out of her hands. Twirling, Nova glared her silvery blue eyes at Gexln, "That THING?! You might want to choose your words carefully if you want to see precious Alice ever again. I'm the stronger, I'm the better, I'm the eldest. Alice has nothing on me."

Alice fled into her heart, sitting alone in the darkness Nova had brought into her heart and mind, remembering a song their mother used to sing to them,
Flower gleam and glow,
let your power shine,
make the clock reverse,
bring back what once was mine.
Heal what has been hurt,
change the fates design.
Save what has been lost,
bring back what once was mine.
What once was mine."

ooc: Yes I took it from Tangled, but it's a good little song.

 

Auran finally found his control over his body, he stood up and asked "What will it take to have Alice back??" He knew he would regret it but he didnt care, he just wanted Alice back, and safe.

OOC: lol i just found out, i have that movie on my laptop :D

 

OOC: Ah that it is XD
IC: "would you prefer i called you a zombie?" Gexln asked. He then relaxed a little bit, stretching his legs out. "Why not just give up your hold on the girl?" Gexln questioned.

 

Nova laughed, both at Gexln and Auran, "First, I am not a "zombie" for I hold no decomposing body in my possession and no urge to eat your brains. I am Nova, and I reside inside my sister's heart and mind as a result of her foolish wish to preserve her dear sister." She smiled at Auran, "Nothing. For I have no desire to give up a moving body of my own. You don't know what it's like to live in darkness and solitude. Never able to touch anyone or thing, never able to eat anything or feel what you want to feel. Everything is Alice's!"

Alice thought of her Keyblade and how Nova's had been so different. An idea sprang to her mind and Retribution sparkled in her mind.

Nova flinched from the light within her, squirming in her skin to escape Retribution. Why do you fight me sister? I just wanted to protect you from the dangers of this world. This isn't the way to do it, Nova.
