Chapter one: Separation

"Hurry up! Sara we don't have much time!" Nathan called from a distance. He was out of breath from all of the running we were doing. But then again, all we ever did was run. We ran from place to place, trying to avoid possible danger. However the danger always found us anyway. I was starting to think that there was no use in running anymore.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" I replied in between breaths. "We all can't be like you and be able to run forever." Although I do wish I could run forever. Then maybe we would finally get out of this place that is infested with darkness. With every turn of the head you can see people losing their hearts, people being attacked by heartless and nobodies, people being chased like we were.

My legs were starting to fail me. I could feel my knees buckle. Oh god why now. The heartless was gaining on us, it was unusually fast. [just great].

"Nate I don't think I can run anymore." I huffed, tears were starting to stream down my eyes.

"Don't say that! You're gunna make it! You have to!" Nate's eyes were tearing up as well. He grabbed my hand and started to pull me along as if he were my mother leading me through a crowded department store. I kept on tripping on my feet and it only slowed us down, I knew I had to stop. Nate deserved a life, I didn't. What did I do anyway with my life. Lead a resistance? For what? Half of us were lost to the nobodies and the other half were either dead, or running forever like Nate and I were. No, I had to let go.

"Nate, you're my friend right?" I asked with a sigh

"Yeah?" he questioned dashing through the deserted streets. It was a chase, the heartless vs. us and god was holding the wii-mote that made us run faster and faster.

"And friends want other friends to be safe right?"

"Yeah?"

"Well if you were my friend (and wanted me to be safe) you'd let go of my hand."

"NO WAY! You can't just be taken like that! You can ma-"

"No Nate, I can't. You HAVE to let go. I'm begging you. Go on I know you'll be fine." Tears were now cascading down both of our faces.

"I'll be fine trust me." I said trying to fake a smile, I didn't know weather I would be okay or not. I might die or I might live. The odds were fifty fifty.

"No..no…"

"Please, you deserve to live, I don't. just let go." He stared at me while we were running. [that was one thing I could credit him for, he had a great sense of his surroundings so her could look at one thing when he was supposed to be concentrating on another but I digress] His eyes were red from his tears. He was torn, I could see it in his face. Finally he spoke,

"Okay. I'll miss you." And with that he let go of my hand and I fell to the ground. I skidded on my knees until I was laying on the ground. I propped myself up on my elbows to see Nate, running away. He was traveling at a greater speed now because I was no longer weighing him down I knew he would be safe. He would live, he would have a future. I got up and faced the way the heartless was coming, I was not going down with out a fight.

When it finally caught up with where I was it stopped five feet away from me. It just stared at me, as if it were evaluating how difficult of an opponent I was. I didn't have any weapons and almost all of my energy was spent from running from what I was facing. If I were the heartless I would think of me as an easy win.

I clenched my hands into a fist and ran towards the heatless. Trying to run as fast as I could I hoped that one blow would knock it out and make it disappear. But as I said before, this particular heartless was unusually fast. It quickly ran behind me and took me down with out any struggle. It pinned me down to the ground and I was staring up into yellow eyes that were hungry, hungry for one thing. My heart.

I tried to resist and break away, but I was too weak. It was pointless trying to fight back. I had to accept my fate. There were so many things that I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to see the world, I wanted to sing for the world, I wanted to do so much, but all of those dreams and hopes I had were quickly expelled from my mind for I knew that this was the end.

The next thing I knew I felt something inside my chest stop. It felt like a hand was grasping my heart and trying to pull it right out. The sensation was not a pleasant one, there was a fire burning in my chest. Like a thousand gallons of gasoline were dumped on one single flame, making it an inferno. My whole vision was going black. A hand was constricting my heart making it difficult to breathe. It was pulling and pulling and trying to get it out. I could feel my heart dethatching itself from my body, it was holding on by a thread, as if it were trying to hold on for dear life. After that, all I could remember was one final tug. All of the strings that were holding it down came undone, my heart was set free. I saw a pink light that looked so warm and inviting. All the fire was gone now, all the pain was gone. All that was left was nothing. Nothing and darkness.
