~Kairi's Nightmare~
The first thing Kairi noticed when she finally came around was that her head was pounding. Sharp stabs of pain were sent through her brain as if someone was shoving a railroad spike into the base of her head. The pain was then sent out to the rest of her body which felt her nerves were being frozen with each pulsation of pain.
When is the pain going to end! Kairi thought. She wanted to cry and scream from the pain but the pain was preventing her ability to make a sound.
Then the pain was suddenly gone. She felt the oddest sensation. It felt like someone was pouring something warm into her body right where her heart was. The warmth spread throughout her whole entire body like waves washing away the sand on the beach. Now that she thought about it, it felt like she was lying on sand and she swore that she heard waves lapping up against the shore. When she opened her eyes, she was staring up at a dark sky full of white pinprick stars.
Kairi stood up and brushed the sand off of her skirt and she took a look around but what she saw next was not something she wanted to see.
Sora was standing near the water with a black sword in the middle of his chest. There wasn't any blood coming out of his wound but then the sword disappeared and out came a small white orb that Kairi knew to be Sora's heart.
Sora was dying.
"SORA!" Kairi screamed.
Sora turned his body so that he was facing Kairi. He didn't flash one of his customary grins, but instead he looked at Kairi with such sad eyes and gave her the most heartbreaking smile she had ever seen on him.
"I'm sorry, Kairi. I had to do this to save you. I'm sorry that I won't be able to protect you anymore."
Kairi tried to run to Sora, but when she reached the edge of the water she realized that Sora wasn't there. Instead he was farther out in the water, surrounded by a blue white haze that was starting to engulf him. But just before he disappeared completely he yelled out to her one last thing.
"I'll come back to you! I promise!"
Kairi stared at the blue haze above the water in disbelief. Sora was gone. Dead. Not here with her. And she never got the chance to tell him she loved him. Then something inside her snapped, and all her sorrow came rushing back. Her family was dead, her hometown destroyed, all her friends were missing and now the love sacrificed himself to save her. She started to sob into her hands.
She was alone.
