-Chapter 2-
-Mackie's POV-
Riku and I, still sitting on the papou tree, watched the waves in the ocean.
"Kairi, Sora, and I have been planning on leaving, on a boat, and going to discover all the other worlds. I've changed my mind now." I felt a little disappointed when he first said it, then he said he changed his mind.
"Why? That would be such an amazing adventure..." He put his hand over mine.
"I know, it would be an amazing adventure to take with you, and only you." I felt my cheeks warming up, and I looked down.
"Riku, what's going on... with us?"
"I always had that little cute kid crush on you, when we were little. I never forgot you while you were gone. When you came back, something hit me. I don't know what it was, but it was like a part of me, was complete when I saw you back here. I can't explain how I feel about you, but I've never felt like this with anyone else." My cheeks got even warmer as the words flowed out of his mouth.
"That's exactly how I've always felt. But then, I didn't know if you ever felt the same, and I felt kind of stupid, and worried-" My words were cut off by Riku's lips meeting mine. I froze, and was caught in the moment. Once he pulled away, I just smiled. Realizing how late it already had gotten, and how fast time had went, the sun was already setting.
"There's nothing to worry about."
"Mackie, you can stay at my house tonight." I was caught off guard by Kairi. I nodded.
"Okay, my parents know?" She nodded. I stood up, and looked at Riku. He stood up, and wrapped his arms around me, and I hugged back.
"I'll see you tomorrow Mackie." I looked up, and he kissed me once more. I let go, and I went with Kairi. That night, we sat in her room, as we heard large winds, and heavy rain. I looked out her window, and saw the papou tree Riku and I have been sitting on. Then next to it, I see Riku, standing there.
"Riku!" I got up and charged out of Kairi's room.
"Mackie, wait!" I ran out the door, and making my way to the island, and up to the papou tree.
"Riku!" He turned to me, and he grabbed me, hugging me tightly.
"Riku, what's going on?"
"The door is open Mackie. The door to the other worlds. If we step through, we might never come back, but as long as I stay with you, everything will be okay." I held onto him tightly, as our lips went to meet, it's almost like I fell right through him. I was now behind him, sinking into a puddle of darkness.
"Riku!" My hand reached out to him, but he didn't make it in time. He turned around, as I had fallen deep into the darkness.
-Kairi's POV-
I had only caught a glimpse of Mackie's disappearing. I ran into the secret place, and stood near the door. I was so dull, as I just stood there.
-Riku's POV-
"Riku!" Sora's voice came behind me.
"Sora, the time is now." He looked at me funny.
"Huh?"
"The door is open. We might not be able to ever come back. But don't be afraid of the darkness. Don't let it take over you."
"What? Where's Kairi? Where's Mackie?"
"Kairi will come with us! As for Mackie, I don't know where she is now." The darkness streamed up my legs and stomach pulling me in. I reached my hand out to Sora, as he leaped towards me, stretching for my hand, but he was stuck.
"Riku!"
"Go find Kairi. This spot is where Mackie fell into the darkness. I have to find her."
"Riku, no!"
"Go Sora!" As the darkness took its last pull at me, I was in the darkness.
-Sora's POV-
I ran into the secret place, and saw Kairi standing by a door.
"Kairi?"
"Sora..." She slowly turned around as the doors flew open, and she blew towards me. I opened my arms, and she fell right through me and disappeared.
-Riku's POV-
I had no idea, where I was. I was standing in complete darkness. I told myself, don't be afraid, it can't hurt you as I remained standing there. I shut my eyes, and took deep breaths. When I opened my eyes, I was in a whole new world. I layed in the grass, and stood up.
"What the..." A girl with brown hair and big green eyes appeared in front of me. Her eyes reminded me of Mackie's hazel eyes.
"Are you okay?" She looked at me, helping me stand sturdy.
"Wh-Where am I?"
"Olette! What are you doing?" Two guys came running towards us.
"Who's this?" The other guy said. The girl looked at me for an answer.
"I'm Riku. Uhm, where am I?"
"Twilight Town. Are you not from here?" The guy with blonde hair asked.
"I'm Pence, this is Hayner and Olette." I nodded in agreement.
"Have you guys seen a girl with long wavy brown hair, and hazel eyes?" The girl, Olette, looked back at the guys.
"Yeah, she was sitting with us in our hang out for awhile, but out of nowhere, she went running that way. Hayner tried to catch her, but she just kept running." Pence said.
"When did that happen?"
"Just about an hour ago. Why?"
"I have to find her."
"Some guy took her from what we last saw. Hayner chased after her, and a guy in a long black coat took her through this like, portal thing." Pence said.
