Cloud-raising an eyebrow- err…ok, you guys, don't mind her- she's high on sugar lately coz of her chocolate addiction.
RikkuFF10- I'M NOT HIGH!! OH, NO, WHERE'S THE CHOCOLATE…???
Cloud- see what I mean?
RikkuFf10- shuddup…..ok, here's the next chapter to 'the Dark Void'
~!~!~!~!~
Just as Riku fell back onto his bed, the pitch-black waves washed entirely over Destiny Islands. As with this, everyone woke up, and ran to the Shrieking Shack once the waves turned in again.
Sora- WHAT WAS THAT??
Selphie- I dunno…..but I don't like the sound of it..
Riku- musing aloud- I wonder- could it realli..? No!! it can't ..but then how..?
Kairi- 'Riku!! What's up? You got an idea? Come, tell us, will ya? What do you think it is?'
Everyone in the small room, even Wakka and Tidus, who were in their own conversation, looked up at Riku. He sighed, and took a deep breath.
Riku- I… when I was realli small, I remembered that there was once a story that my mum read to me- but this one wasn't one of those normal bedtime stories- it was one about…..about…(gulp) something called 'the void'. It's…It's…
Kairi reached over gently, and whispered- 'Are you alright? What is it? What's this thing you're talking about? We need to know- in case it is what you say…'
Riku-nodding- 'I know. But it's so ….i dunno, I just remember staying up till so long thinking about it. It's this…sort of evil magic that comes suddenly to engulf a particular place- especially places like this- it's so mysterious, it wreaks everything before anyone can investigate it. It's killed thousands of people – I remember it even sank a whole entire island before….and I'm just afraid that….that..it could be…you know..'
Sora shivered.-' Riku…..oh man…'
Riku- 'I know….i'm not sure, but you saw the waves, they were so black! And Wakka even noticed that the sunset was earlier than usual- I'm guessing it could be because of the…void. Arghhh! I don't even want to say it! The word itself sounds so…evil'
Tidus-' you know guys, all we have to do is stay with one another, and I'm sure we'll be fine- realli! Come on, the atmosphere is heavy enough- and look! The waves have stopped already! If it is what you say, Riku, then we're powerless against it. How can we fight magic?'
Riku nodded.-' But there is one way to stop it…I remember that my mother said something… I just can't remember! It was over a 10 years ago…I don't know…but I know it's something about the 'heart of the void'- like, you have to strike at its weakest point, and you see something…but yeah, I agree- how are we suppose to fight magic? It's not like we can kill it with wooden swords…'
At that moment, another crash of waves hit the island, causing the several palm trees to snap with a sounding crunch. Everyone screamed.
Kairi- 'NOOOO!!! WHAT IF IT HITS….the paopu tree!! We have to go out and pick the fruit!! Come on!!'
Riku- 'NO! Don't you realise what danger's out there? You could be killed!! You could be swallowed up by the sea! KAIRI!!'
Riku runs outside, following Kairi into the darkness of the night. Selphie gasps, and clutches Sora by the arm just as he tried to pull away.
'No!! Sora, you can't go out there with them! You heard what Riku said, you could be killed!' Selphie clung harder to Sora's arm, making white fingerprints on it.
' Let me GO!! I HAVE to follow Riku and Kairi! What if they…come on! Let me go! LET ME GO!!!' Sora yelled furiously at Wakka, Tidus and Sephie, who had gathered around him to pull him away from the door.
'You can't go out there! Calm down, Sora! Use your head!' Tidus pulled Sora down to the ground, and grabbed his shoulders. 'Sora! We can't let you go out there. We can't let you go and commit suicide! Don't you understand!?'
Sora slumped down, helpless against the force of his friends. He put his hands to his hair, and pulled it fiercely. Wakka gently removed Sora's hands from his head, and they all sat down again, looking worriedly into the night which had engulfed Riku and Kairi…into an unknown destination.
~!~!~!~
RikkuFF10- OK! I've already got a plan in mind for what's gonna happen…and since it's nearly the holidays, I'll update it as often as possible. I promise! And, I know you're sick of reading this in every story, but can you please review? Please? I've only had one!
