Chapter 10: Finding The One
Laura boarded Sephiroth's ship and sighed. Soon, they were on their way.
"Where exactly are we going?" She asked him.
"You'll see once we get there." He said. She sighed and sat on the floor. She looked out the small window to see Hollow Bastion fading into the distance. 'Where are you Riku?' She wondered.
Little did she know, that Squall and Yuffie were coming to get Sora and Riku from Hollow Bastion. They boarded the ship and soon were traveling to Neverland.
"You're sure she's there?" Squall asked.
"Positive. The old nursery rhythm "Hickory Dickory Dock" is about a mouse and a clock." Riku said. "The only place that has a clock around here is Neverland in London called Big Ben."
Squall nodded. "I see. Well, we're almost there."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Meanwhile *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Laura and Sephiroth arrived at Neverland. Laura looked out the window too see Big Ben. "What are we doing here?" She asked, looking at Sephiroth.
"C'mon." He pulled her up and soon they were in London.
"What Sephiroth, this is where you're taking me? This is all I had to do is come with you to London?" Laura asked as she looked around the small London Street.
"Not exactly." He said, smirking. He scooped her up in his arms and began to run to Big Ben. He entered the clock and set her down. "This is where you're ride ends." He then exited the clock, locking the door. Laura got up and began to pound on the door.
"Let me out Sephiroth!" She yelled, still pounding on the door. She heard him laugh and soon, that laughter was gone and she was alone. She could only hear the sounds of the clock, ticking. She sighed and leaned against the wall. "Damn it!" She yelled. She then sank to the floor. She looked up at the ceiling. "Isn't anyone trying to find me?" She asked to no one. She then closed her eyes.
Sora and everyone soon arrived at London. Riku got out of the gummi and began to run to Big Ben. He was right in front of it whenever a whole flock of Heartless appeared. Everyone caught up to Riku and there was a small battle. After the heartless had disappeared, Riku began to climb to the top of Big Ben. He soon found the door that lead to the inside of the clock. He knocked on it. "Is anyone in there?" He yelled.
Laura's eyes flew open. She looked at the door and stood up. "Who is that?" She yelled back.
Riku heard a voice and realized that it was Laura's voice. "Laura, it's me Riku!" He yelled back to her. "Hold on, I'll get you out." He then began to try to break down the door.
Laura backed away from the door. She waited patiently, hoping Riku could break down the door. Soon enough, the door fell in. She looked at the doorway to see Riku looking at her. She smiled and ran to him, giving him a hug.
Riku smiled and held her. "Who did this to you?" he asked, still holding her.
"Sephiroth." She said. She looked at him and smiled. "I'm fine. I can't believe you found me though. How did you find me?"
"Well, we heard a little rhyme that helped us out a little." He smiled at her. "I'm just glad that you're ok."
Liz appeared and smiled. "How precious." She whispered to herself. "Come on. We need to get back to the ship." She then turned and began to walk away.
Laura nodded. "C'mon Riku." She then began to walk down the stairs.
Riku followed behind her. "Hey Laura, Liz said something to Sora about you."
"Yeah, what is it?" She asked, still descending to the ground.
"Well, she said that you gave your life for mine because you love me. Is that true?" He asked hopefully.
Laura stopped walking and turned to look at him. She smiled. "Yes. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't love you." She then began to walk again.
Riku smiled. 'I thought so. I have nothing to worry about.' Soon they reached the ground and began to travel back to the gummi.
"Now where do we go?" Laura asked, looking around at everyone.
"Let's go back to Hollow Bastion. That way, we can seal the door and Maleficent in with all the heartless, where she belongs." Sora said. They all boarded the gummi and began to head back to Hollow Bastion to finish things.
End.
