A/N:*Gasp*What's going to happen?! Logan's hurt! How are they going to figure anything out? What's going to happen to Logan? I know those answers, but you'll just have to read to find out! Thanks to everyone that's been reviewing and favoriting/following my story!
Part XI: What Are We Going to Do?
This can't be happening. Sora and I crouch over Logan's motionless body.
"Why isn't it working?! We've tried everything to heal him, but nothing's happened!" Sora paces around the now Heartless free chamber. I lean down, putting my ear to his chest.
"He's still breathing!" My relief expresses itself in a sigh. "And I think most of the bleeding is stopping." I pull my hand out from under his back and unlike the last time it comes out mostly clean. "He should be okay." I stand. I kind of wish we hadn't lit all the torches around. I need something to do with my hands; I'm starting to go a little crazy. I wish there was something I could do for him, but we've tried everything I could think of.
"I still can't believe we let this happen." Sora walks back beside me.
"What are we going to do?" Sora and I share blank stares.
"We can't just leave him here."
"I wasn't saying that. I was saying that we need a plan." I step closer to Logan's body.
"How's about we just keep him safe, look!" A couple Heartless jump from the water and come after us.
"Great. Just what we need." Sora and I run toward the new batch of Heartless. We need to watch out for Logan. My only concern is keeping him alive. These Heartless will tear him up if Sora and I can't keep they away. Everything depends on this. He's the only one that knows all of the Wonders. Not only that, he's my friend and I can't just let him become a Heartless. I hope Sora's doing…agh…nasty bugger. I swing my Keyblade around and destroy the monster that just attacked me. With that the chamber falls silent. Sora steps back with a satisfied grin to which I offer a smile. "We got 'em!"
"What'd ya expect?" Sora laughs as we return to Logan, who seems to be unharmed…ish. "Do you think we should try to move him?" Sora's Keyblade vanishes as does mine.
"No, we'll just hurt him more. That's the last thing we want."
"I guess we just sit here then and wait." Sora plops against a wall, and I join him. I just hope Logan'll be alright.
Sit is what we do…for a long time. To me it feels like at least an hour, but I doubt it really was, before both Sora and I hear something. Jumping up, we scan the room.
"More Heartless?" The sound comes from above us, so the roof is our best bet. Small falling stone chips are all we see. The sound, which is like footsteps, keeps going, and Sora and I keep searching. The footsteps change to a rumble and a stream of dust fills the air. I use my arms to block my eyes.
When the dust clears, we see what was making the sound. On the floor are two bodies, one on top of the other. I never thought I'd ever be happier to see these two.
"Terra! Aqua!" I run toward them. Aqua's lying on Terra.
"Ack!" Aqua screams as Terra pushes up on the ground and sends her tumbling off. Terra stands and brushes the dirt and leftover stone from his tan pants. Bending over, he helps Aqua up.
"Sorry 'bout that."
"At least you broke my fall." Aqua laughs.
"Aqua! Terra! What are you doing here?!" I'm so excited to see them. I kinda left without mentioning it to them.
"Ven! I'm so happy we found you!" Aqua pulls me into a hug, "You shouldn't run off like that!" She lets me go.
"I know…but when Merlin said…"
"Do you know how worried we were?" Terra squeezes me in his arms.
"Ack…Ter…ra." My breath escapes. He releases me. I start gasping.
"I'm just glad we found you," Terra says as Aqua steps beside him.
"How did you find me anyway?"
"Well, unlike you we listened to everything that Merlin had to say. He told us to look for this place called Egypt," Aqua starts.
"We saw some Heartless come into this place, so we figured it would be a good place to start." Terra walks toward Sora. "Glad to see you're all right too Sora." Sora smiles at us.
"Aqua, I need a favor." I turn around to look into her azure eyes.
"Sure Ven, what is it?" I turn back and point to Logan whose eyes are still closed. Aqua's hands shoot up to cover her mouth. "Ven, who's he? What's happened?"
"That's Logan. He was the first person I met when I got here. He's been with me…er…us on this journey. He's from this world." Sora kneels next to his still breathing body.
"We were attacked by some Heartless, and one of them really hurt him. He was really bleeding and then he just passed out. We tried healing him, but it wasn't working. Maybe you can have some more luck?"
"I don't know Ven. I'm not sure what I can…"
"Aqua please? You have to help him." My eyes jump from him to her. "Come on Aqua, just try. I can't think of anything else." This time my eyes don't leave Logan.
"Okay Ven. I'll see what I can do." She smiles as she kneels down across from Sora. I can't see what she's doing, so I go stand over next to Terra who's looking down the other two tunnels.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys when I left." I try to offer an apologetic smile.
"Don't worry about it Ven. All that matters is that we found you. Next time though, can you tell us when you do things like this? You had us so worried." Terra's hand ruffles through my hair. I'm not fond of that, but I guess I'll put up with it…in this case.
"Thanks." I reposition my hair. "So are you going to try and make me come home with you again?" Last time Aqua followed me and Terra everywhere trying to bring me home. I probably should have listened to her given the way that all turned out, but I still don't like them treating me like a kid. I mean I'm twenty-five...sort of, but that doesn't matter.
"No. We came to help you and Sora out too. We were just hoping that we could go together." Aqua doesn't turn to look at me. She's moving her hands over Logan's body, but I still can't tell what she's doing or if it's going to work. Sora hasn't moved from Logan's side, which is understandable.
"Ven is it just me or does he look like…" Terra points to Logan.
"Yes, he does," I interrupt with a wide smile. My first real smile since this all happens covers my face. Turning back, I see Aqua stand and I hold my breath.
"He'll be alright." Aqua walks to me and Terra.
"Really?! That's awesome!" Sora jumps up and runs to us. "But wait, is he going to wake up?" He steps back to Logan.
"He should, but not for a while. But, we can take him with us if you want to keep looking for the Keyhole." Aqua motions down the two tunnels. Sora and I nod.
"I think that's the best idea." Sora walks away from Logan, "But I can't carry him."
"Don't worry about that. I got him." Terra grabs Logan and slings him over his shoulder.
"Terra! He's a person not a log! You need to be careful!"
"Oops, sorry about that." Terra pats Logan's back. Sora and I laugh.
"He'll be okay." Sora manages between laughs. "Come on let's get going!" Sora runs to the right tunnel.
"Sora wait up!" I chase after him.
End A/N: Please review and let me know if you think I was able to capture Ven's P.o.V. and if you'd like to see more of the other characters PoVs. Thanks!
