Green Flames chap.1

                                              Chapter 1: Innocence



Sunrise rose over Twilight Town, the sun's soft, orange light climbing over its buildings, stone pavements, and walls, and its tall clock tower, giving the peaceful town a soft, orange glow like always. There were few townsfolk on the streets, for it was early morning, and many were still in there beds.

   In one the many caramel colored apartment buildings, through a big window, was a the kid-sized bed right next to it, and in it sleeping peacefully was a small, blond boy about the age of 5, not making a sound except for his soft breathing. He laid there all cuddled in his black sheets decorated with yellow stars, holding a stuffed moogle doll in his arms. Seconds later, his bedroom door opened,and in stepped a pretty, brown haired woman.
   
“Roxas, sweetheart,time to get up.” She replied with her soft, angelic voice as she gently nudged the small boy's shoulder. Roxas softly groaned, pulling the cover over his head while still holding his doll.

“....I don't wanna go to school.” He whined,his voice almost a whisper.

“Roxas honey..” his mother replied,gently pulling the cover down so he can show himself,and began brushing his soft blond locks with her hand in a sweet mother-like way.”You have to go to school...I know its your first day,and it does sound scary to go to a new place by yourself, but you'll have a lot of fun and make lots of friends. Wouldn't you like that?”

Roxas, hid his face in his pillow, and shook his head quickly. His mother sighed, and asked “Remember what I told you the night daddy went away? That we must be brave,and pull through together?”

Roxas slowly removed his face from his pillow, blinked, turned to his mother with his innocent blue eyes, and did a small nod.

His mother smiled.”Well,you gotta be brave now and pull through, ok? For me?” Roxas sat up on his bed. He looked down, and then hugged his mother tightly, nodding again.

“Okay, mommy.” he said,then pulled away. “But can Cookie come with me?” he asked, snuggling his stuffed friend in his arms. Roxas always had Cookie, his beloved moogle doll that he had since he was a baby, with him. He never let it go.

“Of course he can. Now, what would you like for breakfast?” She asked with a smile, as the small blond boy climbed out of his bed, holding his moogle,wearing his dark blue pajamas with small trains imprinted all over it.

  Roxas smiled widely,his big blue eyes beaming as he looked up at her. “Sea Salt Puffs! I want Sea Salt Puffs!” he exclaimed excitedly, hopping on his toes.

His mother laughed softly, and took her son's small hand. “Sea Salt Puffs it is.”

“Yaaaay!” He cried happily,completely forgetting about school for the moment, jumping up and down as he followed his mother while holding her hand.

   They both left the young boy's room, the door closing softly, as the sunlight's small rays continued to filter through the now quiet, vacant room.
