YO! I live, crazy right? I'm sorry its been so long, I've been rewriting and editing a lot of stories, and I had to take a break for a while. Here is chapter 1 of this story revised with, I hope, better detail. Please enjoy!
I wake up to the sound of waves on a shore. I'm dripping wet with sea water. I can't remember anything... Why not? I can feel my breath quicken in panic.
"Who are you?" I hear a voice say. In my haze, I can tell that it's male. His voice not yet reaching maturity, I sigh in relief. Someone my age, whatever that was...
"C-Cassia," I say.
"I'm Riku." I see silver hair as he grabs my arm and places it over his shoulder. His bright smile is the last thing I see before everything goes black.
10 years later
"Cassia, hurry up! We need to get more logs for the raft!" Riku yells outside my window. I look out it. His hair silver - and shiny - as ever. I see his hand wave at me. I wave back and say,"I'm coming! Hang on!"
I walk out the door and I see Riku wearing his usual outfit. A shirt that's yellow in the front and black in the back with straps down the front in the shape of an x. He wore jeans that were dark at the top and had black straps connecting to the lighter pants. His blue and yellow tennis shoes looked new, but that was the only difference. He looks into my iced blue eyes with his beautiful aquamarine eyes. I have white blonde hair that spikes downward and reaches the small of my back. My eyes are slightly covered by my bangs.
I wore an ice blue top to match my eyes. On the back of the shirt is a dark blue heart and I had on some regular blue jeans as always. I also wear dark blue shoes with a sky blue stripe starting from the center of the tongues, splitting at the toes and going around the shoes, conjoining at the Achilles tendon. Funny thing, if you flatten the shoe, it looks like a heart. "Of all the shirts given to you for your birthday, you have to wear the one I gave you?" he asked.
"It's my favorite!" I said. I notice a lack of weight on my left side."Oh, I forgot my toy sword." I ran back inside and put it through a belt loop. I walk back out and say,"I can't wait till we get the raft done!"
He smirked, "I know. It gonna be great, seeing all the worlds out there! I hope we get to see yours!"
I give him a small smile, masking the pain I really feel, "If we can find it! I told you, right? Every star out there is another world, so think of how many there are!" It hurts a lot, not being able to remember. I washed up here like Kairi 10 years ago. I have no memories except for three names. Cassia, Ventus, and Vanitas. The only thing I could guess about them was that they were someone important, maybe my brothers. My white-blonde hair was pushed back by the sea breeze as we walked to the boats.
We got in Riku's boat (I don't have one) and he saw the pain in my eyes that I couldn't hide. "Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything."
"Nah it's alright. I just wish I knew where I came from." I wasn't kidding either. We were the first to the island, and to the one with the Paupu tree, so I asked Riku,"You wanna spar?" I was really the only one who could beat him if I actually put in the effort - the style that I made is what gets everyone.
"Nah, you'll beat me anyways."
"You're just scared because you think it hurts me."
"That too." We both laughed for a few minutes then Riku grabbed a log, gave it to me, and gave me something to cut the wood in half to make planks. As soon as Riku gave me the log I heard "Whoa! Gimme a break, Kairi!"
"Sora you lazy bum! I knew I'd find you snoozing down here." Riku and I walked down from the little island to the play one.
"No this HUGE black thing swallowed me up! I couldn't breath I couldn't-"Kairi hit him in the head. I snickered "OW!"
"Are you still dreaming?"
"It wasn't a dream! Or was it... I don't know." He was confused, and I completely understood it. Lately, I've been having dreams of the Island covered in darkness, shadows every where, and Riku, right in the middle of it. They scared and confused me to no end, but i haven't told anyone about them.
"Yeah sure." Sora smiled. Sora has brown spiky hair, a tan, and eyes bluer than the sky. Sora wore a red jumpsuit, giant yellow shoes, a loose blue belt, a grey short sleeved jacket, and odd gloves. He had a crown necklace and a crown chain to his jumpsuit pocket. Kairi had short dark red hair and deep blue eyes that had a splash of purple. She wore a special pendent that had some sort of power coming from it (apparently I'm the only one who notices it) and a black choker, a white shirt and purple skirt, and white and purple slip on shoes.
"Say Kairi, what was your hometown like? You know, where you grew up?" Sora asked quizzically.
"I've told you before, I don't remember," Kairi said, a small giggle at reminding Sora.
"Nothing at all?" I shook my head. C'mon Sora, she just said that she didn't remember
"Nothing."
"Do you ever want to go back?"
"Well," she stopped as if she was thinking,"I'm happy here. But you know... I wouldn't mind going to see it!"
"I wanna see it too, along with any other worlds out there! I wanna see em all!"
Kairi giggled,"Then what are we waiting for?"
Riku jumped in with a log under his arm,"Hey aren't you forgetting about us?" I walked in next to him.
I laughed "I guess we're the only ones working on the raft."
Riku threw the log at Sora. I helped get it off him as he walked up to Kairi. "And you're just as lazy as he is!"
Kairi laughed,"So you noticed. Ok we'll finish it together! I'll race you!"
Riku, Sora, and I,"What?"
"Ready? Go!"
The three of us started running, I in the lead because I got a head start. The boys eventually overcame me and I sighed in defeat. When we race, I get creamed, I can never keep up, but my battle skills make up for that. My guess is that my stamina sucks. I fell on my butt, but I got up immediately to sit with Riku on the Paupu tree. Sora gathered the last of the logs, the rope for the mast, and a cloth for the sail. He began challenging us as usual, but came to me and Riku last.
"Cassia, you wanna duel?" Sora asked.
"Only if you can beat Riku!" I replied.
"Why?"
"Because I can beat Riku. I you can't, then there's no real point."
"Oh yeah? Then prove you're sooo tough!" I winced slightly, noticing that I hurt his pride by accident.
"Ok. You asked for it!"
