Chapter 10: A Promise?

I felt myself get put down on the soft ground and tears escaped my eye again. I felt Sora's look of sympathy. I love Roxas, where is he...I already know the answer but...I don't want it to be true...never.
I peered up at Sora, and the blood stained on his shirt. "Are you okay?" I asked, wiping a tear from my face. I walked passed him. "I need to find him...I'm sorry, I just can't wait"
I felt everyone's gaze raise on me. And then, Sora's hand clasp on my arm.
"I can't help anymore?" I asked snapping around at them.
"It's too dangerous, you were almost killed!" Sora strained.
"SO!" I yelled at the brown haired boy.
"I can't lose you too!" He yelled back.
"STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!" Kairi snapped. I sighed at her words.
"We'll need to split up." I said looking around.
"What do you mean, right now I hope you noticed there is only three people in our group!" Kairi said. She had a point. "Okay, then I guess I'll have to show you guys the way." I said running down the hill. I knew it wasn't that far...was it? I ran faster, ignoring how bad it hurt my lungs. I'll never let him have Roxas! Never!
"Namine, maybe we should do this tomorrow" Sora suggested.
"WHY! So he can be dead tomorrow!" I snapped, my breathing heavy.
I saw Kairi squeeze Sora's hand. I sighed. "Why? Huh!" I yelled.
Sora nodded at me, "Okay, we'll keep looking."
After that we ran faster. My legs hurt but it didn't bother me. If I stopped now, what would that accomplish. I didn't stop running, for a few hours we didn't stop. Well...that's when we found a giant castle, aaaaannnnnd I don't recall any houses like a castle around here. I walked up and nodded at Sora.
Sora's POV

I walked in carefully. It was very dark in cold. "Stay outside" I said turning around, Kairi nodded and Namine bit her lip. I could tell she didn't like the idea but she didn't want to slow me down.
I walked farther in...no heartless...that's strange. I looked around for any signs of a trap...but there was none. I paused where I was and looked farther. It only got darker until I heard Roxas's voice...but not the word I wanted to hear "LOOK OUT!" I heard him scream. I turned around to see Xehanort's boot right in front of me. The only way to dodge it was falling on my butt...and that's what I did. I strained to refocus.
"I knew you'd come key" I heard him laugh.
"YEAH! What of it?" I yelled.
"Hmph, that's what you're about to find out." He smirked.
I saw him try to back hand me but I quickly back flipped and unlocked the room Roxas was in.
"ROXAS RUN NOW!" I screamed before I felt a hard object smack my head.
"SON OF A BITCH! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" He yelled angrily.
I grasped the ground, the only thing I could hold on to. I struggled to get up but met with his foot smashing into my back. Blood surrounded me. His foot made contact with my side, causing me to turn up to face the ceiling. It was echoing my hearing, almost if I was drowning. But I wasn't...and I couldn't let Namine down! I jumped up, staggering.
"You still think you can beat me!" He yelled out.
"No...not really...I wouldn't think" I said pointing at the door "Buuuuuut, you see, I meant to distract you long enough so Roxas could get away." I smiled. When he turned to face the door I ran up the wall and out the window. "BYE!" I said letting myself fly out the window.
