"Aeroaga!"I cast it on the 2 of us.I scanned. 11 health bars. Ooh.Bad. I locked on."It's weak at the head, wrists,and shoulders. But there was a dark forcefield. Swords would be of no use here. I got hit quite a few times and tried to think.I remembered a spell I was taught but had never used.Soul it was called. But it took a considerable amount of energy which I was short on. I got hit by Sin Harvest.It was the only way."Lakura!"I looked back at Riku but concentrated on the spell.I thought of light. My fingers glowed. I glowed. I brought my hands to my forehead, and traced a glowing line. With all my remaining strength I rasped,"Soul!!"A great burst light went through the room.I sank to my knees.
I was weak now, open to any attack. I had killed the thing, but dark orbs remained.They spotted me. My eyes grew wide. 7 of 10 dark orbs hit me head on.I coughed up several drops of garnet liquid.The darkness was swallowing me. Riku ran to me. He knelt in front of me but I barely saw him.He looked in my eyes searching for answers. I slowly took of a black band on my neck. It had set in it 5 gems. One, amethyst, sapphire, emerald, ruby, and in the center a diamond. I wrapped it to his hand."Keep it safe."My body separated into 5 light orbs and left his arms to darkness.
Riku's P.O.V.
I looked at my now bare hands.Light swirled about them. Nothing was left.2 tears splashed them. I looked into the band Lakura gave me.The ruby, and sapphire glowed, but the diamond glew brightest of all. She should have kept it on.Why did it take her?
End Riku
The darkness was eating me alive.I wandered aimlessly through the dark, and was pushed in many directions, but none were different. Suddenly gel like dark orbs surrounded my hands and feet, pinning me in place.The dark struck. I was so weak I couldn't resist.My memory struck.
*"What the hell?" A gripping shadow held me in place. Ansem cast his spell. I fell unconscious .I woke up to find myself in dark chains. I found my black cat suit was shredded and barely covered the places it needed to."Ansem!"My voice echoed but was weak."Shut up!"He swept by in dark robes. A chain tightened severely around my neck. I coughed up blood.A red sphere circled around me and plunged into my mind. ....Forget... ...Forget everything...*
I snapped out of it.A light blue light surrounded my temples and overpowered the dark letting me drop.It was warm and familiar It led me towards light.Riku.Five lights separated but a pinprick of darkness remained.
Riku pov
I was back in Traverse Town.I had not removed the band from my hand. My tears fueled a small blue light,but they splashed my hands. 5 light orbs entered the room guided by my blue one. They formed a body and it decended into my arms. Lakura. Her black shirt was torn in many places, and her face was a deathly white. Along with being pale she was ice cold. She wasn't unconscious but she wasn't awake.The silver key on her shirt surged silver to black, and a black orb covered her heart. Oh no. But she was fighting it .Her face showed it. I took her to a bed and wrapped her tightly in it. I touched the orb. I was sucked into darkness but there was something I recognized. I let go.It was forcing her into her past.
End Riku POV.
The dark, only not as dark, returned.It was memory.I was watching it as a video only real.*A small girl laughed. Silver hair draped her shoulders and a tank top slightly covering her capri's. She ran and laughed. Then a dark lightning zapped her. She cried silent tears seeing as she was taught not to whine. Her face grew wide. "Stop it! Stawp!" She was only 3. "Pwease!" It kept zapping. She brought out a small genji shield as angel bangle draped her shoulders. She hit it. It disappeared, leaving several charge bubbles. She was me.*
A heartless. Small but true, I hadn't remembered that until now. "Ah!"*"Come on Lakura!" I was around 9, and in a battle with Leon blindfolded. My yellow shirt had a gold key on it and I sported black shorts. I had Atlas armlets on and traced Leon's sound. I ran then crept and swung my green longsword. I had pinned him down.A gangly yet strong kid with short brown hair."Ow! Hey! Come on, I give!""Come on Leon!"*Hmm.I didn't remember that.Ah!
*Give me your best shot!"Hercules jumped up aiming a punch. I stood still."Ok, your loss!" I dodged. He was barely even close."Ditto!" I swung my huge sword.*13. I remembered that. I chuckled at my always- quirky attitude.*I stood at Hollow Bastion in the dead of night, my hair swayed in a dead breeze as I stared at two graves. My parents.I had all of my armor on. All of it.*
My memories picked up where they left off the 1st time.*...Forget..."No!"The pain of the chains was unbearable."You bastard let me go!!""Now why would I do that?One with such power could be of use to me.""Ansem let me go!""No, I think not.You would overpower me. Besides you have a strong heart, and if that were to turn dark...But we must get you properly brainwashed first." I looked at him angerly."Let..me..go!""Such temper!We must get rid of that."He walked to me and lightly gripped my temples."Let darkness flood your memories.""No!"My memories, all I had, were slipping from my grasp.I thought of the key to my heart, all my precious thoughts, and light. He let go.His eyes glowed red. "How can you over power darkness!?" I panted as he left.I felt pain as I breathed sharply in and out. I was weak. Forcing back the dark with only memories and a little light to go on, was hard.* My eyes snapped shut. I didn't want to remember this. No. It had caused to much pain.
Riku's P.O.V.
I found by touching the orb I could see all memories that Lakura had, something I longed to see. Some dark, others not quite so. I really never left her.Lakura.I left toeat but not much else. I had been forced to stay under a blanket wrapped around my shoulders, and a steaming cup of herbal tea sat on the night stand. The color had not yet returned to my face.I touched the orb again. There was more to see.
End Riku P.O.V.
* My light was fading. What little light I had to drive away the dark was fading now. And my memories...They weren't exactly happy ones, so truthfully they didn't help much. I was still in chains. My periwinkle hair was stained with red, and my skin was pale and the only color left to it was blood.I noticed from broken glass on the floor that my aqua eyes, also were turning grey. He still had yet to fully brainwash me.I had lost some memories but not enough to change me and I gained some back from other memory.
He still tried though, once every hour. When he couldn't, he put me in dark chambers and left me there, letting darkness torture my body and thoughts, regardless of my screams and pleads.Not that he would care. He was heartless. And he was going to succeed soon. My protection was wearing thin*
I cringed. I wish I didn't have to remember this.
End.
Author's notes: It ends at a bad spot but I had to get it up, A.S.A.P. and was kinda blank.The next chapter will involve some more of her memories, but it won't be up for a while.Maybe a week. Anyway thanks for sticking with the story, and please review! Bye!!
