Chapter Seven:
A Dark Weapon...
Gera kicked the thing away from them, then scooped Mella back in his arms and jumped over the other dark creatures, running away from them. The creatures turned and began to chase them through the forest.
"G-Gera! What are th-they!?"
Mella had fear in her voice, clinging to Gera tightly.
"I don't know, Mella... all I know is that they want to hurt us..."
Then a thought struck him.
Are they with that man? Are they here for me?
He shook his head, jumping over a fallen tree.
No... if they were, they would have appeared long ago at my hou...se...
His eyes widened.
Wait! Mom! Is she o.k!? Did the man go to my house and...
The thought of his mother, dead on the floor, sent a sorrowful shiver though him. Mella gave a shriek when one of the creatures nearly jumped on top of them from a tree above.
I can't think of that right now... we need to get away from these... THINGS...
Suddenly, they began to fall down... they were falling into a giant crater made from one of the man's attacks. The tumbled and rolled down for a few minutes until they were at the center of it, Mella on top of him in a ball while Gera was on his back. He moaned.
"... Ow..."
The creatures began to run down to them. Gera turned his head and saw that they were now coming from all sides of the crater, making escape impossible...
"D-damn..."
Mella looked down at him, slightly blushing as she got off, allowing him to stand up. He looked around him, looking for any sort of weapon. He saw two thick sticks. He picked them up and tossed one to Mella.
"Here... use it when I can't get to you... other then that, let me do the fighting..."
Mella barely caught it, then nodded. Then, a creature suddenly jumped at him from behind. Gera suddenly round-house kicked it away, killing it... its body disappeared in a puff of dark smoke.
"Huh?"
He blinked from seeing that...
What... what ARE they!?
He slammed his stick down on another creature, then again to kill it. Once again, the body disappeared in that same dark smoke. He then turned to Mella.
"Hey, are you-"
His eyes widened as he saw Mella, swinging her stick blindly at some other creatures... the stick was going through them like air... not hurting them at all.
"What the..."
He saw two jump at her, which cause him to run toward her and block them, using his body as a shield. The two creatures jumped onto him and stuck on him... then two more jumped on him... then another two... and another...
The weight caused him to fall to his knees... into a pool of a dark mist, which began to surround him. Mella had a hand over her mouth, crying at the sight. Gera slowly turned his head to her.
"Mella... run..."
With that, he sunk into the hole, Mella running away, sobbing hard...
Gera was trying to fight away the mist, looking around... all he saw was darkness... and only felt the coldness of the mist creeping up onto him.
No! I... can't go like this! I have to go back! GO BACK!
His mind raced, thinking about his mother, Jet... and mostly of Mella... then he felt the mist in his mind... feeling it trying to take his memories away.
NO! You won't take me! You won't take away my friends, my family, my loved one! NO! I REFUSE YOU TO DO THAT!!
He raised his hand... the necklace around his neck began to shine brightly, destroying the mist around him... dark lights began to form around his hand...
The next thing Gera knew, he was laying in the middle of the crater. He slowly sat up, rubbing his head... he then felt an object beside his leg. He turned and saw a sword-like weapon... the blade was black and the handle was dark red... and it looked like a...
"A Key?"
The words echoed through his head...
Dark Keyblade...
Dark Keyblade...
Dark Keyblade...
End of Chapter Seven...
