Author Note: New story wee, Lovers End wasn't working for me; I had already written it once as a book, and then I decided to turn it into a fanfiction and rewriting everything was a pain in my arse. So here's a new story please enjoy.
The door closed after my parents left, they tucked me in and made sure I was snug as a bug; I smiled softly and closed my eyes, hearing them saying goodnight to my younger brother in the next room over.
Clutching the stuffed animal I held dear to me, I drifted off, letting my breathing even out, and shifting the sheets around my body; the soft tickles made my arms prickle. I giggled lightly, but reigned it in when I remembered it was bed time.
My muscles relaxed and let loose, while my mind wandered about letting me be whisked off into a dream like state of slumber.
I jumped from rock to rock; my body floating inhumanly as I soared through the air, feeble giggles resounded throughout the echoing landscape, tall mountains lumbered over me, and the sky was blue and clear.
I paused as I stood on a narrow jagged piece of stone, the sun baking my skin in a tender gentle way; the drop if I fell from this perch was deadly, but I didn't mind it I knew I was safe here.
I closed my eyes and breathed in, soon a voice sounding behind me. "Lovely sight isn't it?"
I stumbled, almost falling off the edge of my rock, and yelped out in surprised turning to see a sphere of light floating behind me.
I cocked my head, curiosity swarmed me and I bit the corner of my lip, reaching my little hand out and saying; "Did you just speak?"
The sphere flew a few inches away, and then it responded much to my surprise. "Of course you dolt, now wake up." I stopped trying to reach out towards it. Wake up? "What do you mean wake up?"
The sphere moved closer this time, zooming into my face, making me take a step back before regaining my balance. "I said …WAKE UP!"
I jolted up right in my bed, my eyes glancing around; a ringing in my ears.
It was as if someone really yelled to me, I glanced around and right away I noticed something was off… I sniffed the air and a smoky scent flared in my nostrils.
Clapping a hand over my face to keep the offending burn at bay, I started to get worried. I moved my sheets off myself and stood; legs shaky at first.
Stepping carefully I listened, crackling could be heard, but other than that nothing; I breathed through my mouth moving now at a faster pace to my door.
I gripped the brass knob of my white door, but it was for only a second as it was hot to the touch; I let out a whimper of pain and retracted my hand, confusion flooded my mind and rationality was lost.
What was happening? What if everyone is hurt? My brain was spitting these anxiety fueling questions and I gnawed my lips and let out a nervous sound.
"Mama?" I shouted, and received no reply. "PAPA?" I screamed as loud as I thought I could… no answer.
I felt tears well up in my eyes, whatever was smoking the smoke had seeped deeper into my room, causing me to hack and cough.
"SORA!" I screamed out, my throat feeling as if I tore it. Nothing, nada, zilch; I breathed more frantically panic now setting in, clutching my pajama top I felt my heart speed up at an unreal pace. I let my mind think; what should I do?
I looked around, my white walled room held mobiles and pictures; the carpet was cool beneath my bare feet, then my eyes went wide as I realized I had a window; racing over to it I opened it up, the grassy lawn down below, the drop not too far.
I gulped, should I stay and wait for my family?
Do they need me? My self preservation won out and I jumped from the window, landing on my feet, before crying out; the landing shocked my bones and my feet felt like I broke something in them.
I flopped down on the grass, hearing sirens not far off in the distance ringing out, rolling over I looked at my home; it was engulfed in flames.
My eyes got wider and wider, before I started just screaming; why I have no idea. "NO NO NO!" I ripped out, and soon enough a fire truck pulled along the curb and men came running out with a hose, they had to hurry! Didn't they know? My family was in there…
I never noticed as someone stooped down by me, a woman with long red hair and a kind face; "Hey now little guy you okay? Can you stand?"
I just stared at her as if she we're an alien; I didn't hear a word of what she said, I took in the navy blue outfit she wore, and her blue eyes boring into mine, worry lines creasing her brow.
She moved to lift me up, it was then that I started to react. My reaction was wild and feral; what was she doing? My family needed me! I thrashed and screamed; clawing at her and biting, she just quickened her steps and held onto me tighter.
I cried out; "MAMA! PAPA!" She plunked me down gently into the back of an ambulance van, pulling out her kit and looking over me, my struggling ceased, as I just watched my home go up in flames.
It took the firemen an hour to finally tame the fire and bring it down, some we're talking near me, still sitting in the back of the van; the red haired woman, whose name I learned was Kairi; was talking with them as well. "No survivors?"
She said, horror stuck peeking over at me, I was staring at them; my mind not wanting to register what she said. A man shook his head and looked down, almost mournfully, looking at me with pity. "No, we found some…remains."
He looked uncomfortable, was it my staring? Mama always said it was impolite to stare. Kairi crossed her arms and sighed, "What about the boy?"
The men shrugged; "Let Xemnas deal with it." Kairi scoffed, I watch her shuffle her feet on the lawn, the blades of grass bending against their will beneath her black boots.
"He's disgusting, I hate that the kid would have to be tended by Xemnas." The fire fighters looked uncomfortable now; "Kairi don't say that so loud, we could get in trouble."
She just narrowed her eyes; "Wussy's" She hissed out and moved back over to me, a smile now on her face.
"Come on I better get you to the hospital; what's your name?"
I just stared at her; blinking, her smile wavered. I opened my mouth, my lips chapped and crisped. It felt weird to move. "My name is Roxas…"
