*~*~*~*~*~*
I slowly opened my eyes, everything coming back to me in a rush. The bright, ethereal light and the unbearable pain in my eyes and my ears. I hauled my poor body up from the ground, aching all over. Oddly enough, the ground felt... different. It felt smooth, and cool, and I felt a cold breeze wash over me. Something, I had never felt in the darkness. Feeling dizzy and woozy as I stood there, I opened my eyes. But I couldn't see anything. Everything looked hazy and unfocused. I suddenly gasped and air filled my lungs slowly. Wait... what?!? I'd never had to breathe before. I reached out with my fingers, my eyes still not working. My hand brushed against something rough and pointy. It crumbled into my hand. My eyes widened. I wasn't in The Darkness anymore. But... Where was I? I was sure any minute I would wake up and I would back in my living prison again. But still, as I stood there the dream didn't fade away...
Suddenly, I heard an angry growling. My eyes widened in fear as I looked around me, trying to find whatever had made the noise. I heard the growl again and looked down...There was this nagging sensation in my stomach that was almost painful. The word came to me in a flash. I was... hungry. I needed to... eat. It suddenly made sense, but I was still puzzled. How did I get here? One minute I was in the dark and in the next moment... I was here.
I took a few wary steps forward, and turned the corner. I gave a quick shriek before I threw my arms over my eyes, squeezing them tightly. There was light all around me again, and at first I was afraid it was the unearthly, blinding light again. It's true; this light I was feeling was blinding, but not half as bad as before. I felt the rough material of my sleeve rubbing against my arm and suddenly got an idea. I ripped off a piece of it and tied it around my eyes, slowly opening my eyes again. It had been forever since I could see and feel anything.
What I saw before me took my breath away. In front of me were buildings that stretched up into the night sky. The buildings almost totally blocked the view of the midnight sky. I looked up, craning my neck trying to see. Bright, stars sparkled against the dark background. Is that where I came from? I decided against it, not remembering seeing any stars when I had been in the Darkness.
I looked back down, staring at the shops that surrounded me. I slowly walked up to the first one. Reaching out my hand to touch it, I felt the cold, cool glass against my fingertips. Inside, merchandise was lined up on the shelves. I pressed my face against the glass enjoying the feel of it against my skin. Inside, I could see people talking together. A little girl no older then three clung to a woman's arm as her and her husband browsed around. They were a...family. This word seemed to make my heart feel heavy. I closed my eyes in pain. Not the searing pain like before, but a deep, constant kind of pain. A pain that seemed to be lodged into my very soul.
I stepped back from the shop, not bearing to see the family again. As I took a step forward, my legs turned to Jell-O underneath me. I collapsed to the ground, breathing hard.
"Hey! You okay?" A gruff voiced asked. My eyes widened in fright, what if this person knew I didn't belong here? I sprung around, getting ready to bolt if things didn't turn out well.
I looked up into a pair of almost concerned blue eyes. He was a tall, bulky man, getting on in his years. His spiky yellow hair was starting to turn gray with age. He had a rough, gruff face, but it was easy to tell that he was a caring person, no matter how much he tried to hide it. His bushy, gray eyebrows were turned down in concern. He wore a plain white shirt, with a large tan belt and deep blue pants. Sitting atop his forehead was a giant pair of goggles. Definitely a pilot...
"I'm fine..." I said shakily, starting to relax slightly. He looked nice, maybe he wouldn't report me. The man held out his large, rough hand, and when I realized he meant no harm I grabbed it. He pulled me up with no effort on his part.
"You're all skin and bones aren't ya? My name's Cid," he said shaking my hand. The motion set me off balance and I almost tumbled to the floor again.
"I'm..." I said slowly. Suddenly it hit me. I didn't even know my name!! How could I not know my name?!?! Everyone knew their own name! This was ridiculous. I blushed in embarrassment as the man stood staring at me, clearly waiting for me to introduce myself. "I'm... well I know this'll sound funny, but to tell you the truth. I don't know..." Cid's eyebrows went way up in a kind of funny looking shocked expression.
"Hmm..." he said slowly. "I guess I'll just call you Silver."
"Silver..." I repeated slowly, kind of liking it. Well at least now I had a name, but one thing was still bugging me... "Where are we?" I asked slowly, feeling like an idiot. Again Cid looked at me funny.
"We're in a small town just outside Traverse Town." My mind raced a mile a minute. Traverse Town... why did that sound almost familiar? Had I been there maybe? A long time go? But I couldn't be sure. It was so hard to imagine anything else before the Darkness. But here I was, reborn in the real world again.
"Are you hungry?" Cid asked, pulling out a large loaf of bread. My stomach growled at the side and my mouth began to water up. He offered me the load and I took it, smiling gratefully. I slowly ripped off a chunk of it and pushed it into my mouth. Instantly, my taste buds soared! I had never tasted anything like this! It was dry and yet sweet; it was utterly delicious even though it was probably week old bread. I began to chew upon it vigorously, smashing the rest of it into my mouth. Cid laughed at my antics, smiling and pulling out more bread.
"Thank you," I said with my mouth full. It was almost comical really. But suddenly I slowly stopped... Wondering if Cid would ask anything of me for eating his food... "Here..." I said handing back the food. Cid frowned slightly. "I don't have anything to give you for it," I said remembering that in the real world, everyone traded money for such things as food. Cid smiled at me, obviously looking relieved.
"It's okay, it's free." I frowned. Free? There was a saying that suddenly came to mind. 'Nothing in life is free.'
"But why..." I questioned.
"Because you remind me of someone," he said looking away, his eyes growing distant. In a heartbeat I knew whom he was talking about... Sora. I didn't know if I should refuse the bread again, but it seemed a waste.
"You looked like you recognized Traverse Town when I said it. Are you going that way?" I nodded slowly. So far it was the only thing that seemed familiar. Maybe once I got there more would come back. "Good, I'm going there too. I'll take you." He said leading me toward what I presumed was the way out of town. I looked up at the dark sky wondering... Who had brought me here? Who had brought be back from the darkness. And why...?
