Chapter 2: Nightmares



Darkness...Why is it so dark?...Where is everyone?...Riku?...Kairi?... Mom?...

Sora suddenly found himself standing in a dark and gloomy town. It was raining, but he wasn't getting wet. That's when he noticed the long black raincoat he was wearing.

What is this?

He tried to speak but nothing came out. He tried to stop walking and stay still so he could figure out where he was, but he couldn't. He wasn't in control of his body, no matter what he tried to do. In fact, it didn't even feel like his body...

What happened to me? Where am I? Am I still Sora?

Suddenly he felt himself go cold. He tried moving his eyes to see what was happening better. He sensed something moving, but he didn't know what it was. Than the bodies eyes shifted.

He screamed, although his body didn't. He tried to make himself move, so that he could flee but something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong.

This can't be happening...Heartless are not real...Kairi help me!...Riku... I am a coward Kairi, I need you...



Kairi?...

My body suddenly pulls two strange weapons from under its coat.

Keyblades?

Wake up, Sora!

Huh?


~~~~~~~

Sora bolted up in his bed and then rubbed his cheek.

He cried noticing a stabbing pain on his cheek. He then noticed his mother and Kairi standing beside him looking worried. His mother was in her pajamas and Kairi wore an extra large sized tee shirt. He blushed a bit, noticing that the shirt showed more skin than Kairi normally showed. He then heard the door creak open and a yawning Riku walked in, dressed in long loose pants and a shirt.

Guess I'm late, He said rubbing his head, What happened to your face Sora?

Sora couldn't answer, but Kairi could.

He was screaming and making a fit so I slapped him. She said casually. Then she turned to Sora, What happened?

I-I don't know. I guess it was just a bad dream but...it was so real... He said his voice trailing off, then he began to tremble. His mother just stared at him, unable to say anything.

You were... Kairi began, You were screaming things...terrible things...about death and doom...it wouldn't have been so bad but...when you were screaming them, you're eyes were wide open and...you were staring straight at us...as though you needed to let us know...and... Her voice faded.

He said softly looking into her eyes. For a moment her tomboy exterior flickered, for a moment she became the weak little Kairi from Destiny Islands. But only for a moment.

It didn't really bother me, but your mother wasn't sure what to do so she called me and Riku here. When I heard you screaming like a baby I figured that all you needed was a good slap. She said casually and shrugged.

Sorry, bout that, he said rubbing his head, I guess its just- oof!

He felt the air go out of him as his mother tackled him into a hug. He squirmed and broke free of her grasp.

Geez mom! I'm all right it was only a nightmare! He said pushing her away.

I was just so worried... She whispered softly.

Yeah right... he mumbled under his breath.

What was that? She asked him.



I guess if everything's all right I better go back to my apartment. I have to get some sleep if I want to sound good in the choir tomorrow. Riku told them and then walked back out the door.

I need a drink, His mom said putting a hand to her forehead. Then she turned and walked to the kitchen.

You sure you're okay? Kairi asked him gently.

I'm fine Kairi! Just leave me alone! He yelled at her.

You don't have to be so bitchy Sora. She said and then stomped out of the apartment, once again slamming the door behind her.

That girl! He heard his mother yell from the kitchen, One of these days she's going to break the door off of his hinges. If she keeps doing that I swear I'm going to kill her!

Sora felt like throwing something again, but he restrained himself. He sighed and laid back down in his bed.

It's so unfair...I bet they all think I'm going crazy...Maybe I am...But that dream...So real...Can't stay awake....

 The last thing he remembered before falling asleep again was a pair of golden eyes watching him.

A/N: Forgive me for the short chapters. I don't know where this story is going exactly(I have a vague idea but this was actually a completely random story that came out of my mind.) So I just end the chapters where I see fit.

I'm glad to see that people enjoy something strange for once. I always see stories with similar plot lines and its beginning to bug me. So I thought I'd try something strange and wacky.

Anyway, review this chapter and tell me what you think.

I probably won't be updating as often because school's started.

And if you want to know when this story will be updated, check my profile and look at the stories I've written. The one on the bottom will be the one I update next. Unless I've got writer's block on that story.
