Two Truths and a Lie...
~~~~Dream~~~~
"Riku?" I ask confused because all I see is an outline of him.
"Yes it is I, Riku, But not the one your thinking of." smiles Riku's clone maliciously as he walks towards me. Now that he's out of the shadows I see the difference. It looks like a younger Riku with bad grammer and wearing a spiderman suit. "Come with me Bekka, take my hand and I can take you away from this place." and for a second I was back on the boat that wreached night.
"Get away from me!" I yell as I run away, only to find Sora charging at me with his keyblade pointing at my heart. "No don't!" I scream
~~~~~Dream ends~~~~~~
I wake up jolted from sleep, only to find Riku gone...But as I look closer, I see a roughly drawn arrow and the outline of footsteps along the beach. So I get up quietly and follow the trail. The footsteps lead me to the edge of the forest, and I look up and see Riku sitting on a log looking out at the ocean.
"Hey, Riku." I say to get his attention but he doesn't seem to hear me so I walk up to him and sit down.
"Why are you here?" he asks me flatly, and the question catches me off guard because I never get up this early and I didn't even think about trying to find Riku...I just did it.
"I-I don't know, I was just wondering where you were." I say unsure of the words myself.
"You should be asleep, it's still really early...What's the matter Bekka?" he says with a hint of consern in his voice, but I don't notice it.
"Theres something I need to tell you, but, never mind, forget I ever said anything." I start to say but end up mumbling instead.
"You can tell me anything, I promise it will be just between us." Riku says truthfully, "...cross my heart..." then he makes an X on his chest.
"Well, I had a dream last night and you where there, or at least it looked like you and Sora was there too." I say then tell him what happened.
"What did the thing that looked like me say, and what was it wearing." Riku askes worried.
"He said "Yes it is I, Riku, But not the one your thinking of." and "Come with me Bekka, take my hand and I can take you away from this place." and it looked like he was wearing a dark blue spiderman suit." I say.
When I said this, Riku's expression darkened but then quickly hid it under a mask of calm features. But I saw his reaction...my golden-brown eyes pearing into Riku's deep turquise eyes, searching for any sign of an answer.
"Alright, I can tell you this, that was not me in your dream. But I don't know why Sora would attack you, espically with his keyblade." Riku said but I could see he was telling only part of the truth. There was something more to the other side of the story that he wasn't saying. Something Riku was holding back like he was afraid of it.
But what I didn't say was that my dreams tended to come true, as if they were some kind of warning for what was to come.
"Riku why did you leave this morning?" I asked him suddenly
"I like to watch the sunrise over the ocean, because I feel that there is something else out there. Something more than Twilight Town and Destiny Island." Riku say and we both sit watching the sunrise together, not knowing that this is the first of many times that I will come to Riku seeking comfort and guidence.
"Riku." I speak up breaking the scilence. "Do you want to play a game?" I ask.
"What kind of game is it?" Riku replies unsure.
"It's called Two truthes and a lie, and whoever is playing has to come up with two outragous things that has happened to them or what they've seen, then that person also has to come up with a lie that can compete with the two truthes. Then the other people have to guess which statment is the lie." I explain, "You can go first."
"Okay...hm-I got it, first: is I've got an evil clone, second: I LOVE Kairi, and third: I've shared a papou fruit with Sora." Riku says smirking as if he's already won.
In my head you can almost see the wheels turning, Well because of my dream I know Riku has an evil clone or at least and evil twin brother, so the first one is a truth, also besides teasing Sora, Riku seems to be close with him so I think the third is true, so the second statment has to be a lie.
"The lie is that you LOVE Kairi." I say sarcastically.
"Yeah, how did you know," Riku asks confused, "I mean I'm friends with her, but I don't love her."
"No questions, my turn." I start, "First is: My dreams come true, Second: I love to swim, and third: The Keyblade Master is going to attack me." I say timidly.
At that moment Sora comes and joins us.
"Wow, your good at this game Bekka, um, lets see I think a keablade wielder is not going to attack you." He says confidently.
"Of corse we're not, Riku and I are the only keyblade wielders on the island, and we would never hurt you Bekka." Sora jumps into the conversation.
"Riku," I say not sure how he will take it, "I can't swim, I'm afraid of deep water."
"I can teach you Bekka, I'm a great swimmer." Sora speaks up and draggs me to the water.
"So thats why you needed help when your ship sunk, that makes sense." Riku replies. But if thats the lie then the other two were true. He thinks to himself.
Sora finally draggs me into the water to much of my complaint. We splash around and have water fights untill I trip and drag Sora under with me. By the time I get cold and pruny I know how to float and dive. So much for actually swiming. We get out and I dry off and change.
"Hey Riku," I say as I go sit down next to him. "Why didn't you join us? It would have been more fun."
"I didn't want to get in the way of your swim lesson." Riku says as an excuse, "Come on, lets join the others." I follow Riku to the fire and sit next to him.
A few hours later you can see the stars comming out so we lay on the sand to look at them.
"Look over there," I point out to Riku "that one looks like a papo, no, pupo, no, whats it called, ummm...oh, papou fruit." I say.
"And that one over there looks like a heart." Riku says and I smile.
"Well," I yawn, "I warn you, I might fall asleep at anytime. So goodnight." I finish sleepily and close my eyes.
"Goodnight Bekka." He smiles and brushes my hair out of my eyes.
But later that night my nightmare becomes my reality, and dream-Sora attacks me...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sora what are you doing!" I shriek as he points his kingdom key at my heart and charges. I try to run but I trip and fall. "Sora stop!" I yell with tears streaming down my face as I try to reason with him.
"Why should I, your much to easy to kill off," Sora laughs darkly "you were never meant to be here so I will make sure it was as if you never were." He sounds like a madman.
"But I thought we were friends?" It was patethic but I had to try.
He sneers, "Because I so wanted to befriend some castoff." His voice is dripping with scarsem.
"Then why were you so friendly and the first one to welcome me when Riku found me?" I counter.
"It was all an act, no one ever said it had to be real. And anyways it doesn't matter know because once I finish you, no one will ever remember you. It will be like you never existed." Sora smirks and brings his keyblade back poised to strike. I give up with reasoning and call out to the only other person I can remember.
"Riku!" I scream desperatly and try to roll out of the way as Sora stabs me with his keyblade. I sreiek in pain as he hits my stomach instead of my heart. Sora pulls away thinking about striking again but as he hesitates I kick him with my remaining strength and crawl away. Sora is stumbles back and lands in the water, he forgets about me and walks away soaking, blood dripping off his key.
I curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep in my onw puddle of blood.

A/N Alright so if you haven't figured it out yet. I love writing dreams for the characters. And they will have a part to play in the later chapters too. What did you think of Two Truths and a Lie? I've always liked the game and figured it was a great way for Riku and Bekka to get to know each other better. Sorry I know it's still short. I promise I'm working on making them longer. The next one is a bit grusome along the lines of this one and well...you'll see.
