Chapter Two: alone.

Sora pov:

I feel so alone.

I know I have friends to keep that from happening, but ever since I had been separated from my family, I just feel empty. Without my brother I feel like no one understands me. Roxas knew me inside and out, and was always there for me, but now days I don't have the pleasure of hogging my brother to myself anymore, because of that attack that happened at Radiant Garden 10 years ago. I was only 5 then, but I remember it all so

clearly.

Me and Roxas were in the living room playing with some new toys we had gotten earlier that week, but Roxas kept taking mine from me saying I would hurt myself. Mom was getting some weird book ready to be delivered so that Dad would be able to just grab it and go. I didn't understand that, since it was a book shouldn't he just be able to grab it and go, but Mom had told me that she had to fill out all kinds of paper work in order for it to be sent. Not really understanding that at the time, I just let it go and continued to play with Roxas.

As the minutes went by me and Roxas heard the engine of a motorcycle coming to a stop in the garage of the bar that Mom owned. Seventh Heaven was the idea of my Uncle Barret and Dad said he liked it, so of course mom went along even though she hated the idea of raising two 5 year olds around a bunch of drunken men.

Mommy was making her way to the door to make Daddy feel a warm welcome as she liked to call it. Her reddish brown eyes got really big like Namine and Kairi's did when they got what they wanted for their birthday. "Cloud! You're home!" Mommy hugged Daddy before he could even get into the door which made me giggle on the inside. "Course I'm home Tifa. Why wouldn't I be?" "Just figured you were out looking for Seph- I mean you know who again." Mommy smiled, but I knew she was sad. She was talking about a bad man named Sephiroth. A long time ago he tried to destroy the whole world but Daddy stopped him. Guess Daddy thought he wasn't dead yet 'cause he still looks for him. It seems that Mommy and Roxas know the truth but I don't. Wonder what it is that they're hiding.

Me and Roxas never gave Daddy a chance to tell Mommy that everything would be ok, because me and Roxas decided now that we wanted to get our hugs from Daddy too. "Daddy!" Since I got up first and started running as fast as my legs would let me, I made it to Daddy first. Even though I got hugged first this time, I knew that Roxas would be first the next. "Hey Sora. How's my little man?" "I'm O'tay Daddy. Me and Roxas played today." I couldn't help but giggle seeing as all we really did was argue over who would play with what. I didn't want to tell Daddy that though.

"I'm glad to hear that." Daddy smiled while he looked over my shoulder at Roxas. "And how's my big little man doing?" "I'm O'tay too Daddy. Sor-Sor is ok too 'cause I took care of him, so he wouldn't get hurt." Roxas always thinks that I'm clumsy but it's not my fault that I trip easily. It hurt my feelings that he told Daddy that. "I wouldn't get hurt, Roxas. I'm not that clumsy." To say the least I was a little mad at my older brother. "It's ok Sora. Don't be mad at Roxas. He just wants to protect his little brother." Daddy pulled Roxas into a hug and picked us up. I liked being held by my Daddy, it made me feel safe. "He's only 6 minutes older than me," I held up what I thought was 6 fingers to prove my point. That must have made Daddy happy, because he smiled and kissed our foreheads. Mommy giggled as she took me from Daddy's arms. "Cloud, you need to deliver one more thing and then at least come home and take a break or something. You really need one."

Sighing, Daddy put Roxas down. I guess Daddy didn't want to go back to work. Maybe he wanted to play with me and Roxas. "Where is it?" "Not too far. You just have to deliver this strange book to Merlin. If you leave now and don't make any pit stops, you should make it back in at least four hours." Mommy looked at Daddy in that scary way she does to us when we take a cookie from the cookie jar before dinner. "I won't go looking for him again. Ok? I promise." Patting me and Roxas on the head, Daddy grabbed the book and walked toward the door. "See you guys tonight." He gave Mommy a kiss goodbye then started the engine of his motorcycle and was gone.

I wanted to wave at Daddy but I was still in my Mommy's arms. I struggled to get out but that only made her hold on to me tighter, not wanting me to fall I guess. "Mommy put me down pwease. I wanna wave at Daddy." Mommy did as I wanted her to by putting me down. I grabbed Roxas and we ran out the door waving at Daddy before we even made it out. We couldn't wait to see our Daddy again. I hope he'll be home soon.

"Roxas? Roxas, Where are you?" I looked around but saw nothing. It would be an understatement to say that I was scared, because in reality I was terrified. I couldn't find Roxas and since me and him had never been separated for more than a day in our lives, I started bawling like a 5 year old.

It started raining not long after I started crying and if there was any one here I'm sure that they wouldn't be able to tell the tears from the rain. Some where in the distance I felt the ground shift and the air became lighter. I felt a kiss being placed on my head but I didn't see anything near me that could have put it there. "I'll be back Sor-Sor." That voice sounded like my brother's, but I wasn't to sure since I still couldn't see him anywhere. I was shaking now. There was something here with me that I couldn't see and I didn't like it. "Roxas? Roxas it's not funny! Stop hiding from me, I don't like it!" I held in the tears not wanting to sound like a baby.

I never got an answer because as soon as I was done demanding my brother to show himself, a bunch of black little creatures showed up. They were kinda cute, with their little glowing eyes. I wanted to ask Mommy if we could keep one that is if I ever find her. I changed my mind a second later when one scratched me, and squeaked at me. It hurt where I was scratched, and now a whole lot of the thingies were making there way towards me with their arms reaching towards me.

I ran as fast as I could to get away from them. It wasn't long till I met up with Roxas. "Roxas! Where were you? There are these things chasing me, and their scary, and they wanna eat me! I'm scared." "Come on Sor-Sor, we have to get out of here. Don't worry; I won't let them eat you ok?" I nodded my head and we both took off to our house which was slowly being surrounded by the little mean things.

Before we could reach it though, a big creature with jump ropes on its head grabbed Roxas and ate him. As he was reaching for me I heard a loud bank like thunder, the next thing I knew I was in Roxas's bed. I didn't feel that comforting feel of my brother beside me and I knew he was gone. Remembering the dream I started to cry, thinking my Roxas had been eaten. "ROXAS!!!!!!!!"

It only took about 10 seconds for Roxas to reach me, and it looked as though he had run a mile a minute, which he couldn't have done since a minute hadn't even passed since my yell. He crawled into the bed and hugged me. Placing my face into his chest I cried harder than I ever had in my life. He just held me there comforting me as he did. "I'm sorry Sor-Sor. I wanted to check for Daddy. I won't do it again, I promise."

I sniffed before I said anything to him because I didn't want my boogers to get on his shirt. It was his favorite after all. "I had a bad dweam that we would get separated from each other and then I woke up when I heard the thunder, and you were gone. I got scared." I couldn't hold it in any more and I sobbed even harder into his shirt. I bet he thinks I am such a baby. Roxas didn't say anything; he just held me tighter and ran his hand through my hair. It felt good, and I was beginning to calm down.

It took about 10 minutes to stop crying, and by then we started to make our way down stairs. I was really thirsty and wanted to get something to drink. Roxas didn't complain or anything as we made our way to the kitchen. When he had just poured me a glass of milk we both heard the door bell ring. "I'll get it!" Mommy opened the door and Uncle Reno was outside, dripping with water. "Reno, come in! Where is Rude?" "Those bastards got him. Those black things are all over. We were making our way here to check on you, but then we were attacked. Rude was able to fight them off for a while but then this giant hole of darkness just swallowed him up. Are you and the kids alright?" Uncle Reno was ringing his hair out while looking around the house, checking for us I guess.

When he finally reached the kitchen I couldn't help but be happy to see him. I got up out of my chair and raced to my uncle's side. He's not my real uncle; I just like to call him that. "Hey there Sora! What's going on little man?" "I'm not that little anymore Uncle Reno." "I'm sorry Sora. I didn't mean to call you little then, since you're getting so big." I didn't answer him because I was too embarrassed. I dug my face into his leg hiding my red face knowing that if Roxas saw it, he would probably make fun of me. Uncle Reno just laughed at my actions. "Still as shy as ever I see."

"Roxas I think you need to take your brother upstairs so me and Reno can talk ok baby?" "Ok Mommy." Roxas grabbed my arm and tried to pry me off of Uncle Reno but I didn't want to go any where. I felt safe in here with Mommy and Uncle Reno. Roxas finally got me off though when he volunteered to be it during hide and seek. He's always it first, and it only takes him three minutes to find me, while it takes me twenty or more to find him. Wonder why that is. After our game, Roxas and I went downstairs to be with our Mommy. Guess Uncle Reno had left already, because he wasn't down stairs when we went.

The real reason I wanted to go downstairs though was, the rain seemed to be getting harder and I was beginning to get scared. I guess Roxas could tell because I was holding his hand in a death grip, but I didn't want to let go; Roxas makes me feel safe just like Daddy does. "Sor-Sor, could you stop squeezing my hand so hard? It's starting to hurt a little." "Sorry Roxas," I let go of his hand and looked down at my feet. I had caused my brother pain and that made me a bad person. "I miss Daddy, and I'm scared. What if he doesn't come back? I don't want Daddy to die." I looked up at Roxas knowing I was about to cry but I didn't care. I just wanted my family to be whole again. "Make Daddy come back Roxas."

I don't know why but I wanted Roxas to lie to me, even though I knew he wouldn't. I could see him thinking it over and I already knew he would pick the truth over the lies so I readied myself for the pain. "I can't Sora. Daddy will come home when he can. Till then Mommy said we just have to have faith in Daddy. If we do then he will come home, because we're his light. Daddy needs us. He won't just leave." I looked at him and knew that was all he had to say, but it didn't matter anymore; I felt better all thanks to him. "Thank you Roxas. You're right. We just need to believe in Daddy and he will be home."

"Hey? Sora? Roxas? What are you two doing down her? You should be asleep, it's almost ten." Mommy looked up at us from the bottom of the stairs trying to look stern but I could tell she didn't have the heart to be too mad at the moment. Roxas decided to answer Mommy, "We wanted to wait for daddy with you. Can we?"

Mommy stood there thinking about it then smiled at us. "Sure you can boys, but not for long. If he isn't here in thirty minutes then you have to go to bed, ok? If he comes home after you go to bed than I will send him up to your room to say hi." I looked at Roxas who was looking at me before we both went running down the stairs into Mommy's arms, both of us giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Before me and Roxas knew it, thirty minutes had gone by and Daddy was still not home. I was asleep by the time Mommy decided to take us upstairs. I awoken to being picked up and realized I was in my Mommy's arms. "Thank you Mommy." I tried to hold it in but I yawned.

Mommy laid us in Roxas's bed, since she knew I always would climb into his at night anyway. She just couldn't keep us apart no matter how hard she tried; not like she ever tried. Next thing I knew I was dreaming of me and daddy playing with my new toys.

When I woke up later that night to find my Mommy, I went downstairs first figuring that she would be down there more than any where else in this house. I couldn't find her. I started panicking and looked all upstairs as well. I was looking in the bathroom across the hall from my room when I heard Roxas say my name. "Sora? Sora, where are you?" He sounded a little scared. "Roxas. Daddy isn't back yet, and those creatures are outside." Roxas crawled off the bed and held me before I started to cry. "It's ok Sor-Sor. Mommy and I will protect you. Daddy will too when he gets home." I said the one thing that I thought my Mommy would have done in this kind of trouble; fight. "Mommy went to fight them off. I can't find Mommy," and before I knew it I was sobbing into his chest.

I could feel Roxas rubbing my back and it was very soothing. I loved my brother more than anything because no matter how much of a baby I was being, he always told me it would be ok. He never complained no matter what I did, and at this moment I really needed that strength he had. I felt him intake air and gasp. I wanted to know what had surprised my big brother but he wouldn't let me take my head from his chest. I knew it must have been something scary because Roxas didn't want me to see it; knowing this, I gave up. I was getting tired of fighting him anyway. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and stop in our doorway. "Mommy!" Roxas let go of me and we ran into our Mommy's out stretched arms. "We have to go. We can't wait for your father anymore, I'm sorry. If we do we could be killed and then your father would be sad. Do you understand?" Roxas nodded while I hugged mommy's neck. I didn't want Daddy to be sad. "Roxas, if anything happens to me, I want you to get out of here with your brother." Mommy stood up and took our hands, leading us down the stairs and into the storm.

It didn't take long before Mommy had to stay behind. She had run into a big round creature that looked like a black floating beach ball, and started punching it after telling us to run. Roxas pulled on my arm but I wanted to stay and help out. We made our way to Uncle Zack and Aunt Aerith's house; maybe we were going to go play with Namine and Kairi. I was following before I had lost my footing and fell into some giant hole. Roxas looked behind him, and I could tell he was just as scared as I was.

"SORA!!!!!!" He tried pulling on my arm but it didn't help any. I tried to reach for him with my other hand, but I couldn't reach him for some reason. "Help me Roxas! I'm scared!" I couldn't see him anymore and I realized he couldn't see me either. I was getting sleepy but I was too scared to rest. I wanted Roxas back, but I didn't think I would ever get to see him again. I was scared I was going to die. "I love you Daddy, Mommy. I love you too Roxas." Crying, I closed my eyes, waiting for death.

When I woke up the next thing I knew I was on some island, or at least I thought it was an island since all I could see and hear was water. There was a silver haired boy leaning over me. "Hey kid, you alright?" Blinking back tears I sat up. "No. My Mommy and Daddy are gone, so is Roxas. I want my Mommy and Daddy." He just rubbed my back and introduced himself. "It's ok. I'm sure they're here somewhere too. I'm Riku." "I'm Sora." Ever since then me and him have been best friends.

Turns out Roxas and them didn't land here and that didn't exactly make me very happy, but the next day while me and Riku were searching again we ran into Kairi. It has been 10 years since that attack but I knew it wasn't over yet. Nothing that big ever stops there. I felt that soon it would make its way here and haunt me all over again. This time I wanted to die, if that was the only way I could ever see my family again then I'd be glad to do it.

Besides, Destiny Island was a little too boring for me. Over the last 10 years me and Riku got the idea to build a raft in order to see new worlds; maybe then I could find my family. It was only recently that we actually started to go through with our plan and Kairi decided she would help, since she wanted to find her little sister Namine.

I was laying in my bed looking up at the ceiling thinking about the adventure that Kairi, Riku, and I would be starting tomorrow, when I heard that ever to familiar thunder. All thunder doesn't sound the same, and this thunder was the kind that could scare even the bravest person. Looking out my window I saw Paopu Island surrounded by a cloud of darkness. Running out of the house I went straight to the docks, I needed to get over there as fast as I could. This time I needed to face my fears and battle this nightmare once and for all.

When I arrived I discovered Riku and Kairi's rafts. I didn't have much time to think about it because the second my foot hit the dock tons upon tons of those creature from long ago showed up to attack me. I did the only thing I could and ran toward the shack. I could see Riku standing in the middle of the darkness waiting for me. Or at least I hope it's me he is waiting for. Running across the bridge I raised my hand telling Riku to grab it. He didn't listen to me though. "The door has opened Sora. All we have to do is ride this darkness out of here and we'll be free." I was beginning to get that familiar feeling of sinking when suddenly a blinding light threw the darkness back and a giant key appeared in my hands. I kept hearing the word keyblade over and over again.

I didn't have time to worry about this strange new weapon in my hands because more of those black creatures appeared. I heard the word heartless and decided that, that should be the name of these creatures. I slashed one heartless next to me and it disappeared instantly. Looking at the keyblade for a second I decided I liked this new weapon. Jumping into the water below, I swam towards the shore. When I made it, I decided to head to the secret spot in that cave me and Riku found a few years back, slashing a few heartless along the way.

When I finally made it through the narrow tunnel I found the last traces of Kairi as she disappeared into thin air. "KAIRI!!!!!" I slammed my keyblade into the strange door that had always been at the end of the tunnel and it slowly opened.

Again I heard a weird voice in my head, but this time it wasn't the same one as it was when I last heard it. "Keyblade wielder, I know what you want. You want to see your family again and I can give that to you …….for a price….Are you willing to pay?" I thought about it, and I decided I didn't care what the price was; I just wanted to see my family. "Yes. I am willing to pay. I don't care what the price is. I want to see my family." "I thought that would be your answer and my price is, you must forget the person who you love the most. Are you still willing to pay?"

I froze. I didn't know if I could go through with this now. I didn't want to forget him, I just didn't. Then again if it was what I had to do to see him again then I would do it.

"Yes. I'm willing to forget………Roxas."

Author's note: And there you go chapter two. Yay me. You'll be happy to know that I have up to chapter twelve planned out. Yay me…..Ok well enough of that. Hope to see you again in chapter three. Till then read and review. I hope to have mistakes in this chapter and chapter one fixed by then. See ya. Late.
