"I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me.
I remembered each flash as time began to blur…"

She could not fall asleep. All night long, she stared at the ceiling.

When she went to close her eyes, images of darkness over taking the Destiny Islands filled her head, and while she was wide awake like this, the feeling in her gut wouldn't go away. She knew something was going to happen.

She just wasn't sure when.

Or why for that matter.

It made her uneasy, causing her to toss and turn and loose even more of the energy that she barely had.

The next morning, Ebsolon walked groggily down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Morn' Eb- Are you alright?" Kairi frowned, eating a bowl of cereal.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I just-" She tried to stifled a yawn, "Just didn't get enough sleep."

"EB!" Kairi shouted, which made Ebsolon jump back slightly into the counter. "Eh, do you have to yell?" Ebsolon sighed, grabbing the milk from the fridge.

"This isn't good for you! We're leaving tomorrow!"

"I know." Ebsolon poured the milk into a bowl.

"You need sleep!"

"I know." She grabbed the cereal.

"What's the matter? You know I'm here for you."

Ebsolon sighed, "I just…have a bad feeling something's going to happen…before we leave the islands." She sat next to Kairi.

Kairi smiled slightly and placed a hand on Ebsolon's shoulder. "You heard Riku, Nothing bad is gonna happen. You're probably just anxious, that's all." With that said, Kairi stood and washed her bowl. "Once you're done we'll leave for the island." Then she walked out of the room.

Ebsolon sighed and stared into her cereal bowl. "I wonder what Chyma would do if she were here…" She pulled the necklace at her neck and sighed, silently eating her breakfast.

Once finished she headed outside to Kairi and the two of them then headed to the other island where the two other teenagers waited.

"Oh, where are those two…? Oh! Sora!" Kairi waved the spiky brown haired boy over.

"Yeah, 'sup?"

"Where's Riku? Have you seen him?"

"Uhm… I'm not sure." Sora shrugged.

"Will you go and find him, please?" Kairi asked.

Sora sighed, "Yeah sure." And turned.

Ebsolon looked at Kairi. "You know… They're bound to do something stupid once Sora finds Riku… Right?"

"Oh… Yeah, most likely." She laughed. "C'mon let's go get them!" She waved Ebsolon forward.

"Yeah," She muttered. "Before they hurt themselves."

Kairi and Ebsolon followed the path Sora had taken, and eventually found him on the other side of the island where he and Riku were in a heated discussion.
"You two at it again?" Kairi laughed. "Alright, we'll be the judges. You guys know the rules; the first one to the star shaped tree and back here is the winner. You can take any route you want, so you guys ready?"

The two boys turned to each other and began talking again.

Ebsolon rolled her eyes and stepped forward, "Ready? On my count."

"3… 2… Go!" She shouted.

Right on cue, the two boys took off and disappeared around the turn.

After a few minutes, Riku returned first, a short while ahead of Sora, and he was walking.

After Sora returned, he wheezed, "Were you… Were you walking?!"

"No," Riku replied casually.

"Yes you were! I saw you!"

"Well then you were seeing things, because I wasn't walking."

"Then what were you doing?" Sora frowned.

"…Running...very slowly." Riku shrugged.

"ARGH."

"Alright, alright," Ebsolon sighed. "C'mon, time to get provisions now. We need seagull eggs, mushrooms, fish, coconuts, and we need to fill this up with fresh water." Ebsolon picked up a small bucket and placed it in front of the group.

"I'll get the water." Kairi grabbed the bucket.

"I'll get the coconuts and mushrooms!" Sora ran off with the basket.

"Fish." Riku grabbed the net.

"Which leaves me with… the eggs." Ebsolon sighed and slumped her shoulders, "Yeah. Love you guys too." And walked off to go find a nest, muttering, "I hate birds."

After obtaining a nest full of seagull eggs, Ebsolon began walking along the shoreline back towards the raft, though she wasn't really paying attention to her surroundings.

Her legs suddenly bumped into something and she jerked forward, nearly falling over. Catching herself just in time, she straightened up and looked down. "Watch it-! Oh, Riku! I- I'm sorry!"

"Nah, I'm alright. Just watch were you're going alright?"

"Ah… Yeah." Ebsolon nodded.

"C'mon, let's head back to the-"

Suddenly one of the larger fish Riku had captured jumped from the basket he had put them in and ended up slapping Riku across the cheek with its tail, leaving a bright red mark.

Ebsolon gaped for minute. "Riku, are you-?"

"Alright. I'm fine. My dignity's just a little shot that's all." He sighed and looked down. "Thank God Sora didn't see that."

"Yeah… oh, speak of the devil! Hey Sora!" Ebsolon called, looking over Riku's shoulder.

Sora looked pale, but before either of them could ask Sora laughed and asked Riku, "What happened to your face?"

Riku sighed and said, "Ebsolon slapped me."

Sora bit his lip. "Heh, Why?" He turned to Ebsolon.
Ebsolon quickly hid the sudden look of confusion that had appeared on her face. "I- ah- well… He deserved it, that's all." She nodded.

"Okay…" Sora shrugged.

"Hey, what's up with you?" Ebsolon asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I think I did. In the secret place-…Ah, never mind." Sora shook his head.

"In the secret place…what?" Riku pressed on.

"Oh, nothing, me just being scared that's all." He laughed and began walking forward, "C'mon guys, let's get back to the raft."

"Yeah…" Ebsolon followed Sora and looked back at Riku. "C'mon, Kairi's probably already waiting for us."

"huh… yeah."

"Alright! That's everything!" Kairi said, placing all the items next to each other.
"Good." Ebsolon nodded, crossing her arms, "I'm gonna head home and try to get some sleep… See you all tomorrow." She gave a wave and walked to the docks.

"Tomorrow.

That was a joke right? Tomorrow.

Tomorrow never came.

It's like a never ending nightmare, and I'm the main character, because all the bad stuff happens around me.

Am I a bad omen or something? Do I bring destruction with me wherever I go?

If this is a nightmare I want to wake up and see the light of day again. To see my old friends. Because I honestly can't handle this anymore."


"…Like a startling sign, that fate had finally found me,

And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve…"
