The other couple broke apart. A tear dripped down my cheek. That's what happened, and what I wished that day came true. I was with the one I loved. Of course, Maleficent had to ruin it all. They heard her voice. The other me looked at the other Riku. Please, she thought. Then the other Riku fell through a portal on the ground. The other me screamed at the top of her lungs. She screamed his name. She pleaded he would just come back. She fell through a portal, too.
Riku and I stood there, in that spot, in silence. I turned to him. He pulled me into a hug. I was pretty sure he needed to be comforted. After all, that was the first time we were in different worlds. It must have been hard for him, because it sure was hard for me. Maleficent didn't help at all, dangling his life in my face, forcing me to act as her puppet. Not fun. Not fun at all. Nothing happened. I stood in his arms. Just like the memory. It was exactly the same.
Maleficent even ruined it all.
"So, children, are you ready for the darkness yet?" I heard Maleficent's voice ask. I looked around. I didn't see her, but then again, this wasn't exactly real. I didn't know anymore. Real or not, she ruined a perfectly good moment.
"Maleficent," Riku mumbled.
"Who else but the someone you were longing to see? The someone that could give you a helping hand with true power?" She taunted.
"Shut the hell up, Maleficent!" I yelled in anger. I couldn't even see her, and she was already getting me mad. Just hearing her eerie voice ticked me off so much. She laughed and appeared in front of us, coming out of a green and black glowing subtance. A portal, of course. She shook her head.
"Poor, poor child. You fail to see what is right in front of you, and what isn't in front of you," she said, shaking her head.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Maleficent laughed again.
"That was only proof of my statement," she sneered. Riku looked like he had had just about enough.
"What is your problem, Maleficent? What do you want with us? Why us?" He yelled. Maleficent laughed once more.
"Why, child, you brought yourselves to me. I had nothing to do with it. You two were simply powerful, so I kept a grasp on you. Nothing more to it." I looked at Riku in despair. The worst part is, she was right. Not that we had any control over where we went at the time, but we still are the ones that went to her. Riku shook his head.
"We didn't bring ourselves to you. We had no idea where to go, and no idea where we were going! We had no idea what the hell was going on, and you took advantage of us! But the question is, why us? Was it only us that you had? Did you really have no one else to use?!" He yelled. Riku was really angry. The look on his face almost scared me. Maleficent stayed calm during this whole arguement! She showed no sign of emotion.
"None as powerful as the keyblade wielders, I suppose. But know this, both of you gave in to me at one point and that is your own fault. You came to me by choice," Maleficent explained, still calm.
"It because you dangled the life of the person that was most important to me in my face!" Riku screamed.
"Riku," I whispered. It got silent, but the tension in the air could still be felt.
"You simple fools. I was merely trying to help you in life. Darkness is your true power, the power you hunger for that will make you strong." She left without another word. She just faded into the air. She was gone, but the tension was still there. Riku had one arm around me. I don't know how that conversation made me feel.
"Riku?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Please don't get angry like that again."
He chuckled a little.
"I won't."
