Chapter 6

Serene Thoughts

Point of View: Kairi

Written by: Lvkishugs



I opened my eyes and I didn't know where I was. I blinked before truly registered my surroundings. I was...lying on grass? Beside was a pond with a small waterfall trickling into it. Thickets and hedges were around me, all with flowers upon them, but they had yet to fully grow and were still buds.

Lazily, I sat up, stretching out my arms and yawned, rubbing my eyes slightly. I was interrupted from my thoughts by a soft chuckle.

I jumped to my feet, panic overtaking my body. I spun around as I saw the unimaginable.

"Riku?" I mumbled as I put my hands over my face. I couldn't抰 believe it. Did my silver knight really return to me?

Here he was, standing in front of me, his attire a simply white shirt and brown cargo pants. His hair was moving from the warm breeze and a small smirk lay across his face. Tears sprang to my eyes again. A small tear showed itself. Riku gently wiped the tear away with his thumb.

"Hey..."

He spoke with that smile he never used, the smile he only gave me. I grinned and jumped into his strong arms, hugging him as tight as I could. I looked up at him to see his head resting on my shoulder, and I smiled softly.

We then gently, got out of our embrace. And while doing that, Riku once again; turned to his old self. He grabbed my hands; intertwining them into one. His eyes turned to ice, his expression grim.

"Kairi you cannot fool around in oceans. You must be calm."

"Riku I almost died! What do you expect me to do? Laugh about it?" I yelled as tears started traveling down my face like a never-ending waterfall.

My hands covered my face, trying desperately hard to stop crying. I then felt a cold hand touch my chin as I took my hands away from my face.

Riku stared at me.

"Things aren't always what they appear to be." He said sternly to me as his grasp on my hands tightened.

"Riku...what do you mean?" I asked giving him a puzzling look. But before I even finished my sentence; Riku kissed me on the forehead and started to walk away. I watched as he turned to face me with that stern expression of his.

"Don't forget, things don't always seem to be, what they appear to be."

And then he disappeared, out of sight, as though he was never there at all.

"Riku?" I asked raising an eyebrow at nothing in particular.

And then the ground started shaking beneath my feet. The sky turned black within seconds; the scenery dead. The trees turned into grey, cement walls.

The wind turned colder and stronger; it also began screaming through my ear drums. I opened my mouth to scream; but nothing came out. As though something was clogging my throat and wasn't coming out.

And then another sound rung through my eardrums. Laughter. This wasn't a sweet laughter, but an evil laughter, and what an evil laughter it was.

The shaking finally stopped at a halt, and I looked down at the ground. Whips started wrapping around my wrists. I struggled to get away, though the whips were strong and continued to bind itself around my hands, in a way securing me from ever leaving. I tried my best, moving inside and out it, trying to break free of these bindings around my ankles and wrists...

I battled and cried out. A fifth binding whip started tying itself around my neck. I was pulled into the air, my feet leaving the ground.

And then the evil laughter returned.

"Hello Princess..."
