Falling. . .
Endless darkness all around swallowing her body. Warmth in her chest
fleeting and being replaced by a chill. Fingers beginning to turn into
icicles, legs stiffen. Thick air turning her whole body into transparent
liquid as the rushing air goes through every pore of her being. Yet she
still falls on, and all she can do is breath.
'Where am I? What's happening to me?'
No answer from the darkness or herself can satisfy her so she stares on into the darkness with glassy topaz eyes. All she can hear is her shortened breath and the snap of her skirt in the rushing wind. She feels weight less, a mere feather at the will of a rushing wind.
As if by some chance, a light opens up below her tearing a hole in the darkness and illuminating her body's outline. Her topaz eyes do not see the light but her liquid body can feel it. The light slowly evaporates the sweat and her body becomes solid again.
'Let me fall on. . .'
Golden rays of light engulf her body and in one quick sharp pain she lands on her back. The darkness is no longer surrounding her, instead the air is light and filled with vapors from the ocean. All her topaz eyes take in is the blood red sky and the swaying tree that rustles it's oversized leaves in the salty wind. She stays still.
'Why did it have to stop here?'
~^~^~^~
Peacefully Sora and Riku sat on the soft grains of sand laughing about their adventures of past times as the rays of the afternoon sun softened into deep lush reds and oranges. Riku's hair became vibrantly colored canvus with splashes of reds and oranges. With the sun going down behind his head he seemed to be the only thing around for miles that was still set ablaze. Sora's blue eyes sparkled in the last rays of light as his youthful laughter made his stomach bulge and retract in his red overalls and his stretched out his pale legs.
Riku stopped laughing to look at Sora with his silver green eyes. Something about the way they reacted to each other didn't feel right anymore. Untold hate has nestled itself deep into Riku's soul waiting to be unleashed. Just waiting for that one spark. . . and it came.
First the twilight hid the streaking light in it's orange and red layers but then the trail of speckled dust became more visible in the growing darkness of the night. The spot of light blinked as it created an arching trail behind it. Then the light made a sharp downturn to the west side of the island as the dust trail in the sky faded out into darkness as each tiny little piece of light fell softly to the ground like a snowflake on a winter day. The larger light that had burned out once it went over the hilly terrain.
"What in the world. . ." Sora thought allowed as he jumped up to his feet. The speckled light fell to the ground in golden drops of rain warming Sora and Riku's skin as it fell upon it and disappeared.
"What do you suppose that was?" Riku questioned as he lifted his eyes to the now golden sky filled with the raindrops. His green eyes now held both silver and gold in them as they shimmered with each passing drop.
"I have no idea but it landed somewhere over there, we better check it out in case." Sora replied
While making their way over to the place where the light had landed the raindrops stopped falling softly down from the sky leaving no trace of their existence. The only ones that had survived were in gathered in Sora's jutting brown spikes on top of his head. He wore a crown of golden nestled light.
Riku and Sora scrounged around the shrubs and bushes looking for meteor pieces but when their eyes fell on the red headed girl their mood changed. Her body lay limp in a large crater with sand sprinkled on her pink-laced skirt and bleach white top that seemed to glow in the darkness. Eyes still open, she only laid there allowing her stomach to rise and fall softly from time to time.
"What. . .is it?" Sora asked peeking out from the bushes at the girl who still laid silent.
"It's a girl." Riku replied getting up. He walked to the edge of the huge sand hole the girl laid in and looked down at her. Even if it was dark he could make out every curve on her body and could see her shining topaz eyes.
"Hello down there?" Sora asked as he took Riku's side. With the sound of his voice the girl lifted her leg off the sand to bend and rest it in an upward position so that it made a triangle with the ground.
'Leave now. . .leave.'
"Can we help you?" Riku added still watching the girls body closely. No more movement came from the girl.
Sora shrugged, "Maybe we should take her back to your house and see if we can help her there."
"Good idea, go back to my place and get the bandages. You know where they are."
Sora sprinted off into the dark night and disappeared into the thick black but Riku stayed by the side of the dip the girl had created. Looking softly into the girls green topaz eyes something in his mind seemed to unlock senses untapped before. His body reacted to this by sliding down the side of the divot and leaning next to the girl who just stared up at him continuously.
Tears started to fill her eyes like glass turning to liquid. Her lips parted as she whispered something but Riku only heard rushing air. He leaned down further so that his silver eyes could look straight back into her glassy topaz ones and slid his hands gently under her neck and the bend of her legs.
"Your going to be just fine, we'll help you." Riku reassured lifting her from the sand. Soft grains of light that fell with her body from the sky trickled off her body joining the grains of sand below her illuminating once more to only be buried by the cool grains. They lit Riku's path along the sand all the way back to his house.
All the girl could to was stare up at Riku's sliver eyes sadly knowing this was not the place for the darkness she held within. Her heart ached knowing that she would need assistance on her long journey. . .but in the end it could claim her life.
'I will not let them get caught up in this. . .this is my burden to carry and I must do it alone. I can't let my heart fail now. . .'
'Where am I? What's happening to me?'
No answer from the darkness or herself can satisfy her so she stares on into the darkness with glassy topaz eyes. All she can hear is her shortened breath and the snap of her skirt in the rushing wind. She feels weight less, a mere feather at the will of a rushing wind.
