11. Doors
The four teenagers continued upwards when they stopped onto another platform, this time black creatures like the ones before already inhabited it. They finished them off quickly and then another door appeared. They all exchanged glances and Riku cautiously opened the door. There was a gust of wind. When it died down, there was only black on the other side.
They all exchanged another worried look that grew into a confident one. "I'm still not so sure." Sora stuttered.
Riku countered with "Oh well. We're all here to save Kairi, right?" They all nod. "So we go."
Room 2
Sora fiddled with the zipper on his hoodie and zipped himself up. "It's cold in here…"
Now the group was in a basement; a big, long, intimidating basement with only a small light to see. There was also a strong draft that roared in their lowered ears. There were doors, lots of them. They were all opened and the wind made them squeak that echoed through the whole nexus. Other than that, leaking pipes added that sense of silence and triggered a shiver up all of their spines.
"Now this place creeps me out even more than the last room." Selphie whispered.
"Should we all split up again?" Tidus suggested. This made Sora yelp, making everyone else jump. They all looked at Sora with an annoyed face.
"I don't like the idea." Sora whispered. "I mean, expect the unexpected, and what will happen? Someone gets hurt, killed, even. We all look for them, find their dead body and-" They all stopped listening and started to choose a room. "-a-and we'd all get trapped with those things! Hello! Do you hear meeee?" Sora started to stutter because he was all alone now.
The small light started to blink out. Sora whimpered and clutched his crowbar tightly.
"Guys?" He whimpered. The room's doors in which Tidus, Selphie and Riku entered were closed. Sora's knees quivered and he bit his lip. He swallowed hard as tears welled up in his eyes and he sniffled. Sora was not moving. "Come back…" He said, although it sounded like "Om akk…"
There was a 'clang!' and that made Sora jump and yelp then run to the nearest room. He slammed the door behind him.
There were those things again, the ones that crawl into the floor. They pounced at him the second he entered the room. Sora screamed and whipped his weapon around blindly. When he fell to the ground, he got up and saw the scene around him: No creatures, just his friends.
"You okay, Sora?" Selphie asked soothingly to the panicking boy. She walked up to him and rubbed his shoulder. "It's us. We're together now. All the doors connected to one whole room."
"All right, let's get outta here." Tidus said. He opened the door to the nexus and the group was enveloped in darkness. Everyone screamed and huddled together. Silence.
There was a soft glow around them. Each one of them has an outline of light covering them.
"We're…glowing." Tidus exclaimed, his voice echoed. "We're glowing you guys!"
BOOM!
It flashed a bright purple and the black creatures were seen. When the area went black, their yellow eyes could be seen.
There was a new black creature that they saw; it was bigger than the last two creatures and held a sword that had five lumps on each side. Its silhouette suggested it had antennae and looked very slim and muscular.
BANG! Another flash of purple enveloped the area. The group got into their battling stances again.
"We must be hearing the storm! And those creatures keep the tornado going." Selphie said.
"And John must be controlling the creatures!" Riku added. "Then the faster we get rid of these things, the closer we get to John, the weaker the storm becomes!" Tidus concluded.
"And the sooner we save Kairi!" Sora shouted, his passion overflowing in his scratchy, hoarse voice. He charged at the dark creatures. Heaving his weapon at the new dark figures. He killed them all without any help, which actually surprised everyone including Sora.
There was a rumble, probably from the storm outside. There was another burst of light and they were on the platform they last were on before again.
The group of Sora, Tidus, Selphie and Riku continued up again, but it became more difficult because now the tornado was breaking up. There weren't many dark things, and if there were some they or it would be an easy kill.
They all came upon a third door, this one much more fancy looking than the others. Four hands opened this door and they entered what seemed to be a bedroom. It was a simple room, a bed on one wall with red sheets, a closet that they came from, drawer, a red vanity, and a small red lamp that gave off a red glow.
Out the window, the storm looked much worse than before although the tornado was coming undone. There was another room where the light was on and the party cracked the door to see.
Riku whispered something in Sora's ear that no one else could hear. "Remember when Kairi said she never wanted to be a stripper? That poor girl…" Sora nodded and replied. "Yea…" He looked down, noticing the changes in himself also, and in Riku, even if they don't show as much.
It's difficult to describe the scene they all saw. It wasn't chaste but it wasn't explit either. But it was sad and enraging to see poor Kairi strip for that creep named John.
Dun dun duuuun! How was? I tried to make it as dramatic as possible. But give me your opinion by reviewing!
