Only Me By Shadow Faerie

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts! SO THERE!!



I still have the nightmares.

I am falling into darkness, not to the heartless, but to before. And then I wake. I wake on the warm sands of Destiny Island. And there they are- Kairi, Tidus, Wakka- everyone. But they don't remember. Only me. They don't remember the heartless or the destruction. Only me. But what pains me most is that they don't remember Riku. Only me. And I hate them for it. Dammit, I hate them for it.

Nonetheless, I know Riku is still out there. And he's alive.

After the End of the World, after Ansem's death, after the sealing of the door, I was just walking down the road with Donald and Goofy. We saw Pluto, and chased after him for what seemed like ages. Then, the path before me stopped. Goofy and Donald kept running; but I stopped. Then, just as suddenly as it had appeared, the world shattered around me, and left me alone in blackness. Then I woke up on Destiny Island.

And they didn't remember.

Only me.

I miss Donald and Goofy. I miss everyone I met in my adventures for that matter. All along I had been looking for something. Perhaps I had it with me all the time. I know now why Riku sought to get off the island. He dreamed of something more. But now he can't get back home. I once said that the future doesn't scare me at all. I lied. It scares the hell out of me. But not on this island. I no longer have a future on this island.

"I have to get out of here," I say. "I have to get out of here." I whisper. "I have to get out of here!" I scream.

I think being on this pitiful bit of land has broken me. Or maybe I've just gone insane. Maybe that's it. I've gone insane because of the nightmares. Last night I dreamed that I was at the Rising Falls, except now I fell through into the water. Then I was lifted up through the falls; gasping and drowning, and silently screaming all the way. Then I was suddenly awoken. I was soaking wet, and it was hard to breathe. I was on the beach; Tidus was there. The sun had just risen above the horizon.

"What happened?" I had asked.

"You were going farther and farther out into the ocean. I just saw you as you began to go down. I guess you were pretty lucky, huh?" Tidus had told me. I sensed worry in his voice, and confusion in his eyes. And why not? Now I'm an outcast among my own friends. They think something's really wrong with me. And with that assumption they're so right. There is something wrong with me. Horribly wrong. I have to find Riku. I must get him back. And I have to get away from this isle prison.

Right now, though, I'm waiting for a sign of how to get back. Until then, I'll be standing here. Standing here, looking to the horizon, with tears in my eyes. ~Sora, Keyblade Master
