Riku went to bed extra early that night, determined to make more contact. To find out who she was, where she was, and what her name was. It took him an hour and a half to get tired and restful enough to drop into sleep. It was around 9 at night when he finally dropped off into la la land.
The dream began as normal; the beautiful curly haired girl was squishing her toes in the sand. Her fingers were laced around her pearl necklace, almost like she was nervous.
"Hello?" Riku called out.
Her head snapped up, "Riku?"
Their eyes locked, Riku was having trouble breathing, "How do you know my name?"
"I don't know…I just do. I've dreamt about this every night for two months."
"Me too."
They had unconsciously drifted toward each other as they started talking.
"And today I had…a…," Her eyes dropped toward her bare feet, "vision, and Sora was there."
"You know Sora too?!" Riku said utterly confused.
"Listen Riku, I need to know if I'm going crazy, I mean are you more than a dream?" her brown eyes pleading, "How is this possible if you are real? What does it mean?"
"What's your name?" Riku said cocking his head to the right and holding his hand out for a handshake, slighting smiling.
"Lucille." She said taking his hand, and couldn't help but to smirk back at him.
Her name fit perfectly.
"Well Lucille," Riku said enjoying the mere fact that he had a name for his curly haired angel, "I am real. I've been having this dream for two months as well and I thought I was crazy. But I realized somehow I'm conscious right now, even if my body is physically asleep. And if you are crazy, well then I am too."
A strong gust of air came from behind Riku, and started pushing Lucille back. The grip he had on her hand tightened.
"Oh no." Lucille said wide eyed.
They both knew what was coming.
"No!" Riku shouted and pulled her in close enough to wrap both his arms around her, locking her in a tight embrace.
Lucille felt completely safe in his arms. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder. He was a perfect height, about a head taller than her. It took Lucille a few seconds to realize they were both sailing through the air. Her eyes snapped open and gave Riku one last squeeze.
"Tomorrow night." She said and let the wind pull her upward.
Riku falling toward the ocean felt a hopeless sensation in every cell of his body. The last thing he saw was Lucille exploding into a blinding light and the all too familiar darkness spread endlessly above him. He braced himself for the impact, ready for the pain.
"Lucille!" he yelled out as he sat up right, drenched with sweat. He didn't feel reassured; in fact he just felt he had to save her that much quicker. Desperation hit and he wanted to cry. He would save Lucille. No matter what it took.
