This is a revival of an old FanFic I did in the past, which can be found here.
My writing skills have improved greatly, and this story was my favorite storyline. I plan on finishing it, and reqriting the whole thing. If you did read the old version, there are some changes in the plot and characters.
Seth = Seik, Garrett = Raika, Kira = Kira, June =Nadia
The story will somewhat follow the same path, but there will be changes made. Those thinking that they already know what happens will be pleasantly surprised. Anyways I hope you all enjoy it, and any comments about anything would be greatly appreciated by me.
Also, if you can, you can view and comment my story on fanfiction.net.

True One
Chapter One: A Day In The Life Of A Dreamer
The sun was rising on another day, breaking through any darkness that was once night. Light reached every crack and crevice as it slowly approached a lone town. Night was becoming dawn, and the sun was slowly turning the sky orange with its glow. The color spread from the sky onto the ground, until everything was covered in its warmth.
“Seth, it‘s time that you get up!” someone shouted from downstairs.
A boy around the age of 15 wearily lifted his face, which was just buried into the pillow. The sun had reached the town, and seeped into Seth’s room from an open window. The boy winced a little from the light, not yet adjusting to it. He rose from bed, trying to wake up as fast as possible, and let out a yawn. He wearily lifted up his brown eyes that reflected a little off the incoming sunlight.
Seth threw off the many blankets covering his body and stood up besides his bed. The boy was wearing some very big gray sweats. He rubbed his eyes and made his way across the cold hard-wood floor. The tired boy went into his closet, looking through the many clothes that he owned. He picked out some slightly faded black jeans, a clean white shirt and a dark blue jacket with a thin yellow strip that went across his chest. Seth put the small collar on his jacket up, and stood there for a couple of seconds, still out of it. Before leaving his room, he made his way to his dresser and picked up a pendent. The pendent was a silver jewel in the shape of a hexagon, carved to look like a diamond almost. Seth took some string from his pant’s pocket and wore the pendent around his neck like a necklace. He let out one last yawn, as he made his way downstairs.
Seth’s mother was waiting for him, preparing their daily breakfast. She had her brown hair done into a ponytail, with her back turned to Seth, “So, you planning on sticking around for breakfast?”
He just glanced at his mother, “No, I promised Garrett that I’d meet him someplace today.”
The mother continued on cooking the food, “Okay. If you boys get hungry then I have some food already.”
Seth smiled a little, “Thanks mom,” he calmly told her, “I’ll be back later on.” The still tired boy walked to the door, grabbing a small brown bag on his way out.
“Have a good day.” Seth’s mother told him as he left the house.
Seth walked down the dirt road from his house. Similar houses surrounded each other, almost identical. Every house seemed to be two stories, and made out of thin cement. A dirt road went throughout the whole town, often splitting off into different paths. The boy couldn’t help but let out a laugh. Even though all the houses were made similar, every family seemed to desperately try to change their home’s appearance. Sometimes making the houses even more hideous then they already were.
The main thing that no one would be able to miss in the town was a huge pale wall. The wall was bigger then anything he ever saw, and surrounded the entire town. That wall cut off anything from the outside world. Seth had always wondered what exactly lied beyond it, since no one has ever been outside. As far as he knew, there was no way to get out. He continued his walk for a while until he arrived at a local park. The park was pretty basic, probably exactly how you would imagine any park to be. It was in a circular shape, with the dirt road going straight through it. The park was covered in green, healthy grass, with a few trees here and there.
The place was deserted, mostly because Seth came in the early hours of the day. Usually it was full of people, being a popular place to hang out. Enjoying the park’s quiet calming effect, Seth sat down under a tree. He rested his head on the bark, almost as if he was ready to take a quick nap. The peace was interrupted when he felt a hand touch his head, messing with his hair in a particularly painful way.
“Ouch!” Seth cried out as he jumped up to see what it was. A young man with black wavy hair, nearly the same length as Seth‘s hair, was standing there.
“Having a bad hair day there Seth.” the boy said mockingly.
“What the hell was that all about Garrett!” Seth yelled back at the boy, obviously upset from being startled.
The boy was wearing very dark blue jeans, a dark gray vest with a long-sleeved black shirt. Garrett laughed a little from his joke, “Hey, it was funny right.”
He almost felt like taking a swing at him, until a voice came from behind him. “Can’t you two behave for at least a little while.” Behind Seth and Garrett, there was a girl with long blonde hair that would gleam in the sunlight. She was wearing some awfully big light brown boots, a stylish blue miniskirt with a white spaghetti strap. Her eyes were a beautiful clear blue, but they weren’t so filled with beauty at that moment. The girl was obviously annoyed with the fact that Seth and Garrett with fighting with each other, “Honestly, can you go one day without nitpicking with each other?”
“Sorry Kira.” Both replied to her, a little scared of her dominance. Another girl was standing behind Kira, amused by Seth and Garrett’s terror-filled apologies. “Hey June.” Seth and Garrett said at the same time.
June was very beautiful. She had on a light gray shirt, with the shoulders being gray, and clean white jeans. She had long beautiful brown hair, which was worn in a ponytail, with her bangs out in front. “Hey guys.” June tenderly replied, “So what are we planning to do today?”
“Well,” Kira started saying, “I brought a blanket and some food so we could have a picnic.”
“Sounds great!” June said thrilled about the idea. Garrett went over to help Kira and June set up everything, while Seth sat back down underneath the tree. He grabbed his brown bag he brought with him from home, and took out a notebook and a pencil. Inside the notebook were many drawings he made, he had a real talent.
Seth went to a new page and thought about what he should draw next. He couldn’t help but notice June. How the sun was hitting her, how her hair sort of glowed from the rising sun and her smile. The thing that stood out the most in Seth’s mind, were her eyes. The spiky haired artist seemed almost entranced. His pencil started moving on the paper, trying to get the images he had in his head onto it. He tried to get every detail he could draw, but would end up erasing it, unsatisfied with the result. Everything Seth drew, had to be perfect, that’s how he was with his art.
Kira saw Seth drawing in his notebook. This wasn’t out of the ordinary for him, he would constantly be drawing in his notebook about anything he saw. She walked over to him, knowing that he was in his own little world and would never notice her. She leaned against the tree he was on glancing at his drawing. Kira was right, Seth didn’t even pick up on her presence. She then kneeled down next to him, “So what are you drawing?”
Seth jumped a little, worrying that it might have been Garrett again. He turned his head only to see Kira next to him, with a smirk on her face. “Oh. Well, you know. The sights, the sounds.” Seth hesitantly told her.
“Really,” Kira replied, “because it looks like you were drawing a person.”
Before Seth could comeback with anything to tell Kira, “Hey you guys going to be joining us anytime soon?” June called out. Looking for any excuse to end this awkward conversation, Seth got up and walked towards them, with Kira following him.
“What were you two talking about?” Garrett asked slyly.
Kira quickly caught on to what he was implying, “Oh we were just talking about you.” Seth gave a confused looked to her, knowing that wasn‘t what they talked about at all. Kira just replied back with a wink.
“So what are the plans for later guys?” June broke the silence.
“Well, there’s really nothing to do around here.” Garrett told June, “There’s never any excitement. This town is boring.”
“That’s why we have to make our own fun!” Kira told Garrett, not amused with his depressing behavior.
“Well then, what’s the plan?” he asked her. She remained silent, deep in thought on what they could do.
“Hey guys…” Seth was beginning to say, “Ever wonder what’s outside of the walls?”
The group looked at him, each wondering why he would ask such a question. June faced the ground for a moment, then turned to Seth, “Well who doesn’t, I’ve always wondered about it my whole life. But it’s not like there’s anything we can do to actually find out.”
“Yeah,” Garrett added, “there aren’t any exits in this town. Even if we were dead set on finding out, it’s not like we can do much.”
Kira looked towards Seth, “Why did you bring that up all of a sudden?”
Seth fell back onto the ground, starring at the sky, “Remember when we were younger? We always talked about going outside the walls. Just having one big adventure. Traveling from place to place, wondering why we are stuck here of all places. All of us wanted to head out and see the world. But we ended up losing sight of that, we gave up.”
“You’re stuck in the past.” Garrett told Seth.
“Well” Seth sat back up, “wasn’t it you who said that it’s boring around here. Well Kira’s right, we have to make our own fun. I want to see different things in the world, draw different things besides what’s stuck in here.”
Garrett was obviously stunned at what Seth was saying, “So, why bring this up still? What do you want to do?”
Seth smirked, “Isn’t it a little obvious?”
June finished his sentence, “Find a way to get outside.”
“Seriously!” Kira said while getting on her feet, “Are we planning on doing this?” Seth, Garrett and June turned to one another, and gave a nod. “Fine.” she said, “But if we are trying this again, no backing down. We keep searching until we find a way out.”
June had a huge smile on her face, “I can’t believe we are finally going to try and do this.” Seth almost couldn’t believe it himself. How a simple question started a debate among his friends.
“So?” Garrett asked, “What’s the plan?” Seth wasn’t sure what to do. Sure they had an idea, but that would only get them so far.
Seth stared at his notebook, which was right beside him. He rose to his feet, “Tonight, we search the areas by the wall. There has to be some weak point or opening, so we’ll start there.”
Seth and Kira sat back down with Garrett and June, continuing the picnic they prepared in celebration of the plan. A gentle wind blew threw the park. Seth’s notebook opened up to where he was drawing June. It had a vague outline of a face and her hair, with no body to speak of. The only thing that the spiky haired artist had completed and was content with was the eyes. They stood out in the picture, showing the detail that Seth had wanted. As the others were enjoying the food laid out, Kira remained quiet. The wind blew her hair gently across here face. Her face wasn’t expressing excitement or joy like the others. Kira’s face looked worry.
