Chapter 4: Broken
(Kairi's POV)
Sora. Sora. Sora. Sora. SORA! That was all my mind could say. I had watched as the meteor had hit the island, and then both Riku and I had been flung from the boat as a shock wave rushed past us. And now I floated in the water, bobbing up and down, staring at that very same island.
Smoke rose and I could only imagine the worse. Where was Sora? Was he hurt? How do I help? My panic began to rise as I scrambled to make my way to the island.
Before I even really got started, a hand grabbed my shoulder. I turned to see Riku, hanging off the side of the flipped boat.
"Calm down Kai, he'll be ok; Sora's been through worse than some random falling meteor." He may have said that but his face was filled with worry too. "Grab onto the other side, it'll be easier if we use this to get back."
I complied and we stared swimming for the island, hoping; no praying that Sora was alright.
(Sora's POV)
I couldn't move. I could only stare at my hand.
Where my Keyblade had been before, now was only dust. It sparkled; then the wind picked up and the particles flew away.
All I could do was stare as they blew into the wind. My greatest weapon was now nothing but dust in the wind.
"Well, it was as I said, the Keyblades are limited weapons. They are weapons of the heart and the heart alone; being made of only one energy type, that makes them rather fragile things, don't you think?" Raith spoke to me, but I could hardly hear him, I was in shock. How could he break a Keyblade?
"Now back to the matter at hand." He reached out his hand to me "Give me the necklace."
I looked back at him, waiting for me to hand the necklace to him. I took a step back.
"No, I won't give it to you." I clutched my necklace and began to summon my Valor form. Even if my strongest Keyblade was gone, I could still fight him with others, Oathkeeper and Oblivion made for a powerful combo.
I focus my powers, but as I tried, I found my head hurting with sharp pains. I fell to my knees, my hands holding my head. What the hell just happened?
Raith moved right in front of me and crouched down to my level "Tisk tisk tisk, I wouldn't try summoning any of your Keyblades or forms right know. Even though the Keyblade was a material weapon, it was made from your heart. Meaning, shattering a Keyblade is essentially shattering a piece of your heart." Startled by his words I looked up to his face. He gave me a wicked grin showing that he found this to be entertaining.
He brought his hand to my throat and raised me to my feet "I doubt you'll be able to summon Keyblades for some time now."
"Wha!" That was all I got out before he punched me in my stomach, sending me flying into the waterfall behind us. I hit the stone wall hard, all I felt was pain. I fell to the water, landing on my hands and knees.
I was shaking; my arms could barely hold me up. My stomach hurt the most, right in the center where Raith had hit me.
I heard a splash of water. Looking up I saw Raith making his way to me. I tried to get up to defend myself but my body just wouldn't listen. He reached me and again picked me up by my throat.
"Let's try this again, give me the necklace. That way I don't have to inflict more pain upon you."
I shook my head. Even that small movement hurt. Damn, how hard did the guy hit me? I looked over my shoulder at where I had hit the stone wall. I was shocked to see a perfect imprint of my body in the stone. Damn, no wonder I hurt.
At the sound of an agitated sigh, I turned my attention back to Raith. "Fine, I was trying to be nice but if you're going to hinder me then I'll just take it."
Raith reached for my necklace. I couldn't let him take it, I just couldn't. Summoning what little strength I had left, I broke from his grip and made a dash to get away from him.
I made my way toward the ruined shed, but I didn't even make it past the edge of the water before I was pulled back by my arm. I yelled out as I felt my arm break. Raith's grip had been so forceful, he had broken my arm.
"Enough of this. You know you cannot escape from me. You know you cannot fight me. Give me the necklace, then I will leave and you can go back to your pathetic life." He let go and walked in front of me, holding out his hand for the necklace.
I didn't know what to do. He was right. In the state I was I couldn't fight back. My arm was broken, my body was seriously hurt, and I could hardly see straight. Not to mention I didn't have a weapon that could hurt him, it was a bad situation all the way around. I couldn't see a way out of this; but I couldn't hand the necklace over, not if it really did hold such a fragment inside.
"No, I won't hand my necklace over. You can break my body, break my weapons, but you'll never break my spirit. I will NOT hand over this necklace to…"
I never got to finish that statement. Raith picked me up my hair and looked me in the eyes.
"You have no real say in the matter Sora." Then he plunged his hand into my chest. The world went white and black, and I couldn't feel a thing. The only think I did notice was two figures behind Raith.
It was Riku and Kairi. I could see both of them yelling but couldn't hear what it was that they said.
Raith pulled his blood stained hand back and ripped my necklace from me. Then he turned to Riku and Kairi.
As Raith dropped me to the water, I tried to yell to my friends. I tried to warn them. Please just run away. He's too much, don't fight him Riku; just get Kairi out of there. That's what I wished I could have said but all that came out was,
"Run…!" before I coughed up a bunch of blood and fell into the water.
Sorry for this chapter being short, but yay for some action right. Please Review
