Chapter Five: Kitchen Conversation (Jessie's POV)
Sora and I sat at the table eating breakfast.
I noticed a dark ring around his eyes, and his gait was slooped and weary.
"Sora?" I asked worridly.
"Yeah."
"You didn't sleep, did you?"
"You of all people should know why, Jess."
Silence pervaded time for the next few moments, as I watch Sora nibbling his eggs.
"Jess, you.....know her, don't you?"
".....what makes you think that?"
Sora eyed me suspiciously, "You stiffen everytime I mention her name, and your knuckles are white."
I glanced down. "Oh...."
"Well?"
"Lexy....was...my friend." I avoided his gaze, my mind was racing-these were memories I've tried to block out since I met him. "It was like you and Riku, I guess you can say."
His eyes saddened. "She was lost to the Darkness?"
The kitchen started to blur as I recalled the painful day. "No....she became darkness. On her own."
Suddenly dread and horror bore down on us.
Sora was the first to venture a question, "Do you have dreams too?"
An abrupt flow of memories sped through my mind: Her leering grin, her darkened heart, her fiery eyes....."...no."
"Oh." was all he could reply, but the answer was apparent.
I sighed painfully, "C'mon Sora, we have to reseal Halloween Town today. And I think the Neverland door opened up as well."
His anguished eyes met mine, "What if...they come?"
I took a deep breath and started to my room to grab my keyblade.
I stopped at the doorframe, and looked back, hoping my voice would hold confidence though my heart was heavy. "Then...we'll be ready."
