Cloe's quest

Cloѐ sat outside the office on a bench. Her hands tingly from nervousness, her turn was next.
“Cloѐ.”
Jumping up she sheepishly entered the room. Her mom and dad were in there waiting for her, an uncertain look upon their faces. Cloѐ knew the punishment she faced but tried her best to look tough.
“Do you know why you’re here?” The principle asked.
“Yes.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
In truth Cloѐ had a lot to say, but she just shook her head. This was a hopeless fight because of what she was. Her small village tried its best to accept her but usually ended up treating her as an outsider. She did her best to make the community she lived in proud of her and tried to put her "special abilities" to good use. Only no one really cared for what a Bee could do.
One would think that having flowers in the middle of the desert would be a luxury. Cloe's mom found the secret to growing flowers in an unforgiving place. Her flower shop became the most popular in the konoa desert and they made a good living off of it.
“You are hereby expelled from this school for disrupting the peace and trying to knock a boy’s eyes out.” The principal told her with down cast eyes, even though his voice remained firm. Cloѐ and her family slowly got up to leave he said in a softer tone, “ I’m sorry this had to happen. I know this isn’t like you, and if you were personally my kid I would have knocked the kids’ eyes out myself.”
The principle and Cloѐ’s dad exchanged nods and with that the young family left.
It had been four years since then and the flower shop was forced to shut down. No one wanted to go to a shop where there was a mad Halfling living. Even with this heavy burden to carry Cloѐ’s father was still able to maintain some income. Despite what Cloѐ put her family through they all seemed to accept her and forgive her. Her grandmother seemed to enjoy this little chapter in their lives.
“You know dollies, this reminds me of when I was a kid.” Grandmom sat next to Cloѐ and her younger brother who were playing tick-tack-toe.“ We never had any of that fancy stuff, and we were better off without it.”
Cloѐ and her brother rolled their eyes; grandmom’s stories could get repetitive at times.

One night Cloѐ was sweeping off their front porch when they boy that she tried to knock the eyes out walked up to her. The smirk plastered on his face caused Cloѐ’s heart to beat faster.
“What do you want Jason.” Her sweeping became a little bit faster.
“Why are you still here?”
Cloѐ stopped sweeping and looked the boy in the eyes, she almost dropped the broom for the older boy she saw before her wasn’t the toothless,frekled faced kid she once knew.In fact he was quit the opposite. His body actually filled out and his face wasn't beautiful but it wasn't hideous either.
“What do you mean?”
Jason shrugged, “I’d have thought you’d taken off for Harmony by now. Give your mommy and daddy their little flower shop back instead of you scaring away everyone.”
“Harmony?” Cloѐ asked. She heard it once before but had no real idea of what it was.
“Yeah, that place for all your weird folk. It’s full of em.”
“Well if it’s for weird folk maybe you should pack up and head on out.” Cloѐ snapped, she looked at him in anger. Threw her broom against the wall and ran inside making sure to slam the door. As much as she hated to admit it he was right. Her moms beloved flower shop had gone to waste because of her. She’d have to do something to save her family from starvation.
“Hey Grandmom, Have you ever heard of a place called ‘Harmony’?” Cloѐ asked flipping her black hair behind her shoulder.
“Harmony….hmmmm. Why yes I believe it’s a small city somewhere. But I was told it was a strange place to go. You know they have rumors of werewolves and vampires living there?” Grandmom sat back in her chair to look at Cloѐ through her thick glasses.
“Vampires and werewolves? Well, thank you Grandmom!” Cloѐ skipped up to her room. She packed clothes,photos, pens, and paper to write.
Cloѐ ran down to her living room and came to a complete stop, her family sat around the table playing a board game. They all looked so content; she wished she didn’t have to part from them. But her family’s lives depended on it. Her father’s job was only allowing him to stay out of pity and she knew how pity can only take someone so far. She sighed as she sat her bag on the floor and walked slowly up to them.
“Going somewhere?” Her mother asked jokingly.
“Well, yes actually.” Cloѐ shifted her weight as her family looked up at her. “I’ve decided to Harmony. If I leave then mom can get her job back and Dad can get a better job. Then you guys wouldn’t have to live in this shack.”
“Cloѐ…” Her father began.
“But it will be okay. I can fight pretty well and if there is a lot of danger I can just transform into my bee self.”
The arguing went on for hours but in the end Cloѐ got her way and she was able to leave the house at the end of the month.

(A/N:Because I don’t know when I can get more of the story done this is basically what happens):
During her journey Cloe comes across a girl named Sora who confirmed the existence of Harmony. Cloe joins the adventure on getting to her destination. Along the way she meets up with Ephron who says he’s looking for Harmony too. So together they set off.
