Claimer: I DO own Falina, Ceres, Narimo, Tetra, Inge, Helios, the plot, a Kingdom Hearts t-shirt...heh. I do own that last one but it has nothing to do with this so ignore it, heh.
***********************************************************************************************
When everything cleared up, Inge saw Ceres lying on the floor dead, she thought. It was evident that everyone now had their fair share of wounds and bruises from the attack.
Tetra, despite the pain, got up and looked around for Riku, who was also wanting to look for her and make sure she was okay.
She saw him on the ground trying to get up by propping himself up with his sword. But as soon he got on one knee and had the other foot on the ground, he collapsed right back on the floor. She ran over to him to help him, since she wasn't as hurt as him.
"Are you ok?" She gently asked kneeling down beside him.
"Yeah I'm fine." He said with a weak smile as he once again tried to stand.
He slowly got up, but once he was all the way up his vision went blurry and he staggered. It was as if he couldn't tell where the ground was or where to put his feet and he collapsed back down. Tetra caught him and eased him down just before he landed on his side.
"You don't look fine to me!" She said with a bit of panic in her voice.
"I guess I'm not in as good a condition as I thought. But don't worry, I just need some rest." He reassured her.
"You sure?" She softly asked as she brushed a lock of his silver hair behind his ear. He nodded.
"Can you help me up though?" He weakly asked.
"You sure you should try and stand?"
"Yeah I can as long as you help me." He answered.
"...Okay." She said.
She helped him sit up, and put her arm around his back. He put his feet under him best he could and tried standing as she eased him up. He was now standing with his arm around her.
Falina slowly opened her eyes, only to realize she was in more pain than she had ever been in in her life, but not nearly as much pain as was to come. She slowly sat up, though almost every movement caused a horrible pain to shoot through her body. Of course, none of them were in as bad a shape as Riku and Sora.
"Are you ok, Princess?" Inge asked as she quickly leaned down beside her. Falina looked up at her to see that she was ok as well, even better than herself, but that was because Inge was stronger.
"Yeah I'll be fine, thanks." She replied. Then she remembered everything that just happened, and knowing that Inge, Riku, and Tetra were okay, her eyes quickly darted around the room as she frantically looked for Sora.
She saw him over near another wall, by a pile of now broken boards. He had one arm draped over one board that was sticking out which, besides another board pushed up along his side, was the only thing supporting him. He wasn't moving, but she could see he was breathing, though his breaths were shallow.
She forced herself to get up, trying to ignore the pain. She went over to him as fast as she could, stumbling and collapsing to her hands and knees a couple of times. As she went over to him she was hoping with every fiber of her being that he was alright.
When she got to him she fell to her knees beside him. Using what strength she had she gently propped him up, and laid him on the ground. He cringed in pain a couple of times, but it felt better to be laying down.
She looked down at him, with sad and worried eyes. She saw the blood at the corner of his mouth, and the blood all over his shirt and on his forehead. She was bleeding too, but he looked worse. She put her hand along the left side of his face, as she examined it, hoping his eyes would open.
Tetra now stood, supporting Riku by giving him something to lean on. They slowly walked over to Inge and watched with worried expressions and hoping expressions.
"I-is he alright?" Tetra stuttered.
"I don't know. We'll have to wait and see." Inge calmly answered.
Sora opened his eyes, and looked at Falina, then everyone else to make sure they were okay. He looked back at Falina, who looked as if she were about to cry. He put his hand over hers on his face, and smiled a little to let her know he was alright. She gave back a little smile.
He had a bit of blood running from his mouth, and several fresh bleeding wounds all over his body. There was practically a huge puddle of blood underneath and around his body, but they ignored it. If he even made hardly the slightest move and almost unbearable pain would shoot throughout his numbing body.
"Are you ok? Looking at you that's sort of a dumb question, but are you?" She asked.
"To tell you the truth, I don't know." He replied, though it was hard to talk. "Are you?"
"Yeah, I'm better than you at least. Do you know if you can get up?" She asked worriedly, taking her hand away.
"I don't think so, but I'll try." He answered.
He slowly started to sit up, but just as he was about halfway, an intense pain shot through his body and he nearly screamed, but quickly fell back down and held it in.
"Apparently you're not okay." She said, now sounding scared.
"I guess not." He, Riku, and Inge knew he definitly wasn't. They hoped what they knew was going to come wouldn't.
Sora coughed a little more, blood coming out as he did so. Falina was getting more and more scared, and tears were now slowly coming from her forest eyes.
She slowly ran a hand along the side of his face and through his hair. He grabbed her hand with both of his and held it. Tears were coming from his eyes now as well, as he stared at her face and into her eyes. He knew what was going to happen, and she could sort of tell from him, what was to come.
'No... no. This can't be happening.' She kept thinking to herself. His vision was becoming blurry and it was getting harder to think straight and keep from blacking out.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her closer. He kissed her deeply for a few seconds. They broke it and he hugged her tightly, both of them now crying. He put his mouth close to her ear, and whispered...
"I love you."
She knew there was only one reason he said that now. She started to cry harder and hugged him a little more tightly.
"I love you too." She whispered back. A small smile formed on his face, but then faded.
She felt his body relax and his arms loosen around her. She pulled her head up and looked at him. His eyes were closed, and his mouth was slightly opened. His whole body was limp and relaxed. She sat up even more as she looked down at him.
She put her hands on his shoulders and shook him a little.
"Sora...? Sora, open your eyes! No... Sora!" She kept saying, but his eyes never opened.
That's when she painfully realized it. She felt all strength leave her, and she put her arms around him as she leaned down and started crying into his chest, muttering his name into his blood-stained shirt.
Sora....was dead.
