Author's Comments: This is your author Carolyn! My friend Katie told me to ask you if she has any fans. She'd like to know if her goofy antics have earned her any respect. (Yes me and Katie are real people). Please tell her in a review and keep the reviews coming!
They burst out of the throne room and hurried down the hall. The hall was outdoors and had a long opening along the side. About one floor up there was another hall on the opposite side of the pit separating the two halves of the castle. It also had an opening looking down at the hall below.
"MOVE IT KATIE!" Carolyn yelled at her friend who had fallen behind.
"I'm going as fast as I can!" She screamed back.
"That's not fast enough little girl!" A voice yelled.
"Quit mocking me Carolyn!"
"I didn't say anything!" Carolyn shouted back.
"I said that you nimrods!" A voice called. Sora looked back. About 5 feet behind Katie he could see Cedric. He was flying just above the ground holding his sword.
"EEEEEK!!!" Katie screamed as Cedric's sword just barely missed slicing her ear off.
"COME MY ZOMBIE HEARTLESS!" Cedric yelled stopping suddenly and raising his hand. The ground burst open and a group of hideous looking Heartless that Sora had never seen before crawled out moaning: "Brains..."
Katie stopped and turned to face them. "WAIT! Take me instead! Just leave my friends alone!"
The creatures grabbed her and for a moment they looked like they were going to rip her head open. But then they stopped and looked into her ear. One of them tapped her head with their knuckles. A hollow echoing sound emitted from it.
The zombies shoved her to the side and continued chasing Sora and the others yelling: "BRAINS! WE NEED SOMEONE WITH BRAINS!"
"How rude." Katie sniffed angrily, "DARK WAVE!!!" She waved her hand. A swarm of shadow emitted from her hands and wiped out the zombies.
"YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!" Cedric yelled. He rose into the air and shot after her. A high-pitched scream escaped her lips and she bolted covering her neck. Cedric swiped at her severing several strands of her reddish-brown hair.
"HEY! LEAVE THE 'DO OUT OF THIS!" Katie screamed. Cedric was only a few inches behind her. She could actually feel his breath on the back of her neck.
"Wow, look at her go." Tidus said without any emotion. He and the others had already reached the upper hallway and were watching her being chased by Cedric.
"Yeah, it's kinda sad actually," Carolyn sighed, "Even Cedric's getting bored."
It was true. Cedric had slowed down and had one eyebrow raised as he watched Katie run.
"That's it!" He yelled, "This is an insult!" He threw his sword like a spear into the ground just in front of Katie. The ground exploded and she went tumbling into the abyss below screaming.
Suddenly Carolyn hopped off the rail on the edge of the walkway.
"SHE'S SUICIDAL!" Wakka yelled as she fell after Katie.
Suddenly Carolyn swooped down and grabbed Katie by the arm and shot into the air. Both of them landed safely on the walkway with Sora and the others.
"Yo-you can fly?" Sora gasped. Carolyn smiled and nodded.
"Yeah! Didn't I tell you?" She said brushing dust off her jeans. She turned to Katie angrily. "Why do I always have to save your sorry ass?"
"I don't know." Katie said shrugging stupidly. Carolyn began slapping her face repeatedly.
"Stop!" Tidus yelled grabbing her arm and stopping her.
"Thank you!" Katie gasped.
"Save some for me!" Tidus added. He grabbed Katie by the front of the shirt and started slapping her.
"Hey don't hog the slaps!" Riku yelled. He nudged Tidus to the side and started slapping her. Soon everyone had slapped her at least once.
"Um...shouldn't all of you be running from me?" A cold voice asked. Riku looked up he saw Cedric standing there looking puzzled.
"How ya doing ass-wipe?" Katie asked,
"Be quiet!" Cedric yelled. "You cannot defeat me! I am the son of Ansem! I am crown prince of Hallow Bastion! I will not allow Mia to leave this castle!"
"If she wants to leave there's nothing you can do to stop her!" Riku yelled drawing his keyblade.
"Oh yes there is!" Cedric sneered. He teleported suddenly and struck Carolyn across the head and slung her over his shoulder.
"Put her down!" Katie screamed. She drew her own sword. It had a purple blade and a red handle. In the center of the handle there was a skull symbol and hanging off the end was a chain with a skull charm hanging off the end.
"Go ahead and hit me!" Cedric laughed, "I cannot be defeated by a mortal weapon!"
"How about an IMMORTAL one?!" Katie yelled. She slashed him across the arm.
"For an idiot you have great strength." Cedric sneered. The wound on his arm closed instantly.
"Now let's get down to business." Cedric said smiling evilly, "If you ever want to see your friend alive again then have Riku meet me in the highest tower. There we will have the final duel over who wins Mia's heart."
With that he vanished.
"Bastard!" Riku yelled slamming his fist against the wall.
Katie said nothing. She started up the stairs with her sword in hand.
"What are you doing you idiot?" Wakka asked.
"I'm fulfilling my role as her leading guardian. It's a prophecy that her and me other guardians will make sure she doesn't fall into the wrong hands. I may be an idiot but I'm a capable fighter." She looked at her sword. "I bought this sword from a shop that deals in the dark arts...blew up right after I walked out the door. I once went over to the dark side because I was jealous of her power. I almost killed her. I swore I'd never let that happen again!"
"Wow that was some speech." Yuna said sounding impressed.
"Thanks. I normally have a short attention span...WOW! LOOK AT THAT SQUIRREL!"
"Katie?" Rikku said frowning, "There IS no squirrel."
"Oh."
