New chapter, as always! This one puts a large twist on the story, and a little more different than the last 3 chapters.
READ ON! (haha)
********************************************
*SORA'S PERSPECTIVE*
I am laying on my bed staring up to the ceiling which is completely glass and staring up at the palm trees that envelope the seaside bungalow.
"Will Kairi ever remember me?" I whispered low enough for my parents to not hear, but audible enough for me as I am racking my brain.
After I had shown her the picture on the wall, she stared for about two minutes in awe with her jaw dropped.
Then she abruptly stood up from the stone and fled the cave. I tangoed with the vines as I left the cave to chase after her, and when I caught up she clutched her stomach.
"…..Sora, I don't….uhhh….. FEEL GOOD. I have a bad stomach ache; 'Kay bye!" was what I remember, and she continued to set off for her home.
It has been 2 days and she hasn't left her home.
Was Kairi really sick? Or was she playing a game with me? Maybe, she even lost interest in me.
I feel like it was just yesterday that she admitted her love to me in The Hall of Empty Melodies at The Castle That Never Was.
That was the most inviting hug I had ever gotten. Too bad at this rate we will never have the chance to kiss, which is my longtime dream.
"I need to stop worrying," I tell the voices in my head; but they keep shouting.
Suddenly, a figure appears in my head.
It is Roxas, screaming electronically, "GO! VISIT KAIRI. THERE'S THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW!"
" No, no! I don't want her to get mad at me," I try to say; but my voice fails and I can't hear anything.
I try screaming, and I am mute. My voice is lost.
Roxas's voice kepts screeching, and I drop to the floor with my head between my knees. I am getting weaker by the second;
like all my power was being drained.
After I could recover myself, I run out the door and the minute I am outside on the rounded deck and inhaling the salty air, Roxas stops shouting.
I guess I will visit Kairi. What's the worst she can do? Tell me to go away, or lecture me not to barge into peoples homes.
I grab hold of the swinging rope ladder and watch my feet carefully. It wasn't the most hi-tech ladder around, the only thing supporting me from
a nasty fall are worn driftwood rungs and frayed ropes.
I keep climbing and reach the next level of deck, which is where Kairi's bungalow is.
I hesitate walking in at first, then I forcefully pushed the door open and trooped up the stairs to Kairi's bedroom.
I find her laying in a very uncomfortable position on her bed, her hair disheveled and a mess. She has midnight black and purple bags under her eyes;
and I can tell she had a rough 2 nights.
"……Roxasssssssssssssss," She whispers in a mythical voice.
" Uhh, It's Sora," I say in a trembling voice.
"Oh! HAHAHAHAHAHAA I REMEMBER NOW….AHAHA," she says in a wacky, out of the ordinary tone.
"LISTEN, ROXAS. I LOVE THE PICTURE WE DREW IN THE CAVE," she shouts loudly.
Something serious was up. Did Kairi fall and hit her head on a rock when she was running out of the cave or something.
"Kairi, that was us; not you and Roxas," I inform her.
No reply. Kairi is just staring deeply into me with her purple tinged eyes.
I stretch my arms behind my head, something I always do when I'm nervous.
"Well, It's getting late….I think I'm gonna go now," I say even though it was only sunset outside.
"Awwww! Baby, don't go!" Kairi says in a saddened voice and then reaches out with her fragile arm towards me.
I stare back with a confused look. …..I love you BABY?! She never seemed to like me like that since I came back. I then leave for real;
and trample down the stairs and out the door. A faint, "I love you" follows me as I shut the door and the rest is muffled.
~*~
I am now back in my bungalow below Kairi's and am pacing around my room trying to process what had just happened. Did she mean anything she had said?
The "I love you" and the "Baby" thing? She looked brutally confused, and DEFINETELY not herself. I keep wondering though,
why Roxas ever came up in that short conversation I had with her. I could have sworn things between him and Naminé were getting serious.
This is so confusing! Does she love me, or Roxas?
Speaking of which, no one ever mentioned where Roxas and Naminé had set off the day Kairi and I were in the cave. Did they leave the island?
…Or, they were kidnapped by a bunch of Heartless. That is very possible when venturing outside of the safe boundaries of our world.
"Great," I thought. Not another battle after the past 6 months I have spent fending of Heartless and protecting other worlds from the darkness.
But I think I can wait a few days before setting off. I think Roxas is smart enough to protect himself and Nami. Those two were ALWAYS getting in trouble.
Looks like that chain is adding more links. Wow, there is too much going on. Saving Roxas and Naminé and Kairi gone loopy. All there is left is me; the only sane one.
Maybe though, Roxas and Nami will show up in a few days time and are currently having the time of their lives. It wouldn't hurt to send
a note in a bottle across the waters for them to receive. Boom, one problem solved. Then I can focus on Kairi.
I quickly run to a drawer in my room and pull out a piece of plain white paper. I sit at my desk and turn on the overhead lamp.
I grasp the translucent pen in my hand and begin to write.
Dear Roxas and Naminé,
I have been worried sick about the two of you as
I try to think up some ideas of where you are.
Hoping you return to the island soon, Kairi
is in a mind sick state and I'm not sure
what's wrong with her. If you don't return
within 3 days of reading this, I will venture out
and save you. But I think you're man enough
Roxas to defend yourself and your lady.
Remember, one sky; one destiny.
RETURN HOME SOON!-SoraI wrap a black ribbon around the letter and inclose it in a bottle on my desk which I then finish by sticking a cork in the mouth.
I scamper outside and throw the bottle in the ocean. The water swallows it and floats down the seascape.
Now, I will wait until tomorrow to figure out what the hell was up with Kairi. But now, I need some sleep. It's been a long day with MANY twists and turns
Hopefully that letter reaches the hands of Nami or Roxas soon. Or are they gone for good?
