Chapter 2
How many days had passed since Riku had left the destroyed city of Hallow Bastion, once known as Radiant Garden? He didn't know. He couldn't keep track. He would just keep on walking until he found a place with food.
That's all that mattered now. Food. Riku was keeping track of that. He hadn't eaten something in 2 weeks, 3 days, 9 hours and 27 minutes. There was nothing better to do then count the days without putting something in his mouth.
The image of people eating whatever they felt like popped into his head. They never went hungry. They never felt cold and alone. They were the inhabitants of Neverwas. Never was a disaster. Never was an infection. Never was any change. You see why the city was called Neverwas. It was to forget what had happened to the world. To forget all the fear.
All the fear went to those infected with Solluna.
As Riku reached the top of the hill, a warm sun greeted him. It was a long time since he felt so...so...nice. The sun was setting on the horizon and coloured the sky in all the shades of red, orange and yellow. The place he left didn't have this sort of scenery. The mountains surrounded the city and made it very cold and dark. Even before the infection started. He was glad he left.
Laughter came from down the hill.
It was another town. But unlike before, where you were surrounded by imposing mountains, this one gave view onto the never-ending ocean. Little islands floated not too far off shore. This place was greener, livelier. It was as if the moon disaster had never happened.
Children were playing in the street. They weren't afraid to come out. Maybe because this town was so far away from Neverwas. Or maybe because it was like Neverwas.
Riku silently snuck into the town quietly; for fear that they might eliminate him if he was caught. He would just quickly grab something to eat then leave. That was the only reason for coming: food.
He eventually found his way to get around, without being seen, in the maze-like streets. And he also found what he was looking for; a bakery stood not too far away and fresh bread was cooling on the window sill. He walked up to it as sneaky as possible.
"Almost there, just a little more...there!" Riku thought as he took one of the freshly baked bread.
Suddenly, he was grabbed and picked up by the collar of his shirt.
"What do you think you're doing?" a voice asked. Riku turned his head to see a man, around the age of 20, with blond hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in weird clothes that looked kind of like...the extermination soldiers.
"Oh, no! Oh no! OH NO!" Riku kept repeating in his head. "This place is like Neverwas! I'm going to get killed!"
"Cloud! You're scaring him! Put him down!" a sweet voice ordered. The man immediately did what he was told.
A woman hunched down and looked at Riku, to see if he was alright. She had beautiful green eyes that seem to be complimented by her brown hair, which was placed into a braid and held up by a red ribbon.
"Are you alright? He didn't hurt you, did he?" she asked with a voice of an angel. Riku shook his head in sign of no.
"Geez, big brother, why did you do that?" another voiced asked. This one came from a small girl with light blond hair and blue eyes. She was holding a basket filled with food that seemed a little too heavy for her.
"He was stealing some bread from the bakery," Cloud answered, as he pointed at the food still clutched in Riku's arms.
"May I have it?" the women asked, holding out her hand. Riku slowly put the bread in her hands and she put it back in its place.
"There! Now nothing was stolen," she said with a smile. Cloud seemed unsatisfied, but he was going to accept it for now.
These people seemed nice. No! They just looked that way because they didn't know he was infected! Riku started to worry. He looked around and saw a small opening; without hesitating, he ran for it. He didn't look back to see if the man would chase him, he just wanted to get out of there.
I do realize that the chapters are short, but just get over that. (Its either short or soooo long that you would fall asleep before finishing it.)
