Chapter 8 Abandoned
"Gawrsh Miss. We sure appreciate the hospitality but we should probably get back to the ship." Goofy grips the door handle tightly as Donald wanders out still downing a piece of chocolate cake. "Chip and Dale get reeeal upset if we come in to…"
"Look!" Donald points a feathered finger at the children's island. Clouds raised in pillars like black smoke, quickly covering the once blue sky. "A storm!" Donald and Goofy run out past the small trees that occupied the yard to see a swirling vortex of wind and water. A bright light rises as a beckon, and then it was all over. The tides shifted back and the skies once again became clear.
"Wait! Wasn't Sora heading that way?" Sora's mom shrieks. She blows past Donald and Goofy leaving them dumbstruck.
"Hold on!" Goofy shouts as they chase after the apprehensive mother. Sora's mother continues down the cobblestone path until she reaches the boat harbor. Quickly she unties the rope to a white speedboat dubbed the Speedy Onion. With one yank on the starter cord the engine revs to life.
"Get on!" She beckons to the other two. "We've got to hurry!"
The two hop on the boat and speed off to the island. The boat skids atop the surface of the glassy water, skipping lightly above the short peaks and falls of the ocean. The boat brushes against the sandy shore as the distressed woman cuts the engine and dashes up the shore. "Sora! Sora!…" Goofy and Donald trail behind their usually happy faces now contorted in a mixture of terror and worry. "Sora where are you?" Sora's mother dashes across the sand franticly searching for her son. Donald pulls back the drenched ferns that covered the entrance to the secret place. He waddles down the passage and lets out a frightened squawk.
"Come here!!" The two run to join Donald, who is staring in dismay at what we has found. The three stare solemnly at the empty shells of Sora and Kairi, still clutching each other protectively. "They didn't make it though the storm."
"He has abandoned me…" Sora's mother collapses to the ground, crying in a mix of both anger and sorrow. "He left me again."
Be safe. Come back to me alive okay Sora?
Be safe…
The grieving mother pulls her son into her arms, clutching him to her chest. Tears stream steadily down her cheeks, falling gently on Sora's face. It looked as if his empty shell was grieving for his mother too. Shadows dance across the room like a flickering flame in the darkness. Goofy and Donald bow their heads, shaking them lightly. No one dared speak to comfort her.
The shadows shifted, pulling from the ground, forming eyes and legs. Their eyes burned eerily in the darkness as their ant-like bodies twisted and contorted in a bizarre dance.
"The Heartless!" Donald squawked. He raises his wand to attack, but is cut short by Sora's mother.
"So you're the ones who took my baby away from me again…" She raises her fists and knocks down the nearest shadow. You will DIE!"
("Hell hath no furry like a woman's scorn." Always remember this boys.)
(Authors Note- I almost have 10 reviews. I already have way more reviews than I ever imagined I would, but 10 is the big one. So as soon as I accumulate ten reviews I'll be holding a big bash to celebrate the occasion. What this means for me is a chance to plan our upcoming webcomic with my friends. So what do you get out of this? Well as a thank you for all your support I'll be sending out the first of the character sketches, and small tidbits of the story. Some of you may find this a rather annoying waste of space in your inbox, that's all right you can just delete it. (It will be entitled "10th review celebration" for those of you who don't want to bother.) But for the rest of you I hope you enjoy the celebration. BYOCake!)
