My Apocalypse
Escape The Fate
One-Shot
A/N: First Song fic.. Riku and Kairi. This is really morbid so don't hate me for it. It's prolly way o/c but I like how it turned out.
~*~*~*~
'There's a place that I found
As far as I can see
This place lies within
The depth's of my dreams'
Kairi laid in her bed, wrapped in pink comforters for warmth. Her arms wrapped around her shoulders.
The curtains were pulled tightly shut over the window, blocking all light from the room. It's been over
a year since he wrapped his arms around her. Kairi never envisioned being with anyone else. She
slept most of her days away, slipping into fantasy land.
'In a garden surrounded
By fire and trees
Throughout the smoke a silhouette I can barely see'
The land was enshrouded by smoke and a fire that never faded. The fire never grew out of control but
it never died either. The beautiful garden and trees withered away slowly. The land was so vast, the
fire could never truly burn away everything in the land. Kairi could walk through this land as if the
flames could not harm her.
'There's a man with an axe
Standing in the rain
Looked me straight in my eye
This is what he had to say'
The rain trickled upon her face and the rain keeping it tamed like a lion. She could see a man far off in
the distance. A man in a black trench coat. He always had his hood up. She could never see his face. But
she could tell her was staring at her. He held an axe in his right hand. Something about the man kept Kairi
wanting more. She could never reach him. She promised herself she would one day, reach him.
'Never fall asleep
You won't wake up
Destroy the guillotine
Before he does'
Kairi heard these words every time she saw the man. She never quite understood. Kairi forced herself to
sleep, disobeying the man. She hoped to one day reach him. She hoped to one day pull off the hood and
see his face. The face of the man she had fallen in love with. Kairi wanted to believe he was telling her this
because he wanted to protect her. But Kairi could never find the moxie to obey him.
'I walk with shadows
(you have to find a better way)
I walk with shadows
(the questions I will never say)
Hanging from the gallows
(they keep me safe and sound)
So I walk in shadows
(the ways of burning down this house)'
Kairi forcefully pushed herself from the bed. So what if she never woke up again? Maybe she would finally
reach him. Maybe she would finally reunite with her love and walk with him. She was terribly depressed
beyond reason since he left her.
Kairi threw on her coat and headed downstairs into the kitchen. She saw her mother was fast asleep on
the couch. Kairi snuck into the kitchen. She cautiously opened the drawer and withdrew a box of matches.
She quickly shut the drawer and headed into the night from the back door.
The approached her former friends house. Hewas the reason her love was gone. She used to admire her
friend for saving her from the darkness. She used to be afraid. Now, Kairi regrets ever being rescued. She
was with her love the whole time she was in the darkness. And even though she was afraid of the darkness.
Riku was there to protect her.
She spotted a can of gasoline along side her former friends' lawn mower. Kairi quietly walked through the yard
and kicked the gasoline can over. The gas splashed onto the house then proceeded to flow like a river, through
the grass. Kairi pulled the matches from her pocket and took several steps back. She struck a match along side
the box, then tossed in onto the gas. The house went up in flames unlike the garden in her dreams.
'End transmission
The satellites are down
I need an earthquake
To shake this pity
off the ground'
Kairi snuck back into her house, putting the matches where she had gotten them. She snuck into her room and
relaxed. The mission was done. Sora could never interfere with her life again. Soon, the police would show up to
tell her the news. No one would ever believe Kairi would do such a thing. Now, if only Kairi could find answers to
her questions. Somehow, getting rid of Sora, did not get rid of her pain.
I walk with shadows

End transmission

To shake this pity
off the ground
All the Vibrant colors I see
And the shades that fill the grey'
Kairi peered out the window to Sora's house. There were tons of whistles and flashing lights. She knew her
mission was success when she saw the limp bodies in the fire fighter's hand. The fire eventually died along
with it's memories. She would continue to live her life the way she had. Maybe this time when she laid down to
sleep, she won't wake up. She has proved to the man she thought to be Riku that she is obedient. Kairi proved
she wants to be with Riku. That's enough right?
'Pain
The pain
Pain
The Pain
Pain
The Pain
Pain
The Pain
Pain' [x2]
Kairi still had no answers. She still lacked the love she had missed. She couldn't believe what she had done. She
had killed her former best friend and his family. She tugged her curtains shut. Kairi climbed into her bed, pulling
the covers over her body. She was set on going to sleep. This time she won't wake up.
