Chapter 8: Reawakening
Dudes...so this is kind of a "part 2" to the story, but whatever. I have a blurry story line thought out, but its kind of obvious and an old idea, so I might change it around or whatever.
Hey peoples! Review damnit! I don't mind flames, just give me tips bc I know my writing sniffs sharpies. ............ ...............................................................................................
Kairi gasped as she saw the familiar monster staring at her. It was a little shorter than her, and completely black...almost bug like. A heartless.
Kairi tried to scream but she couldn't even take a breath.
It slowly creeped up to the frozen girl. With one last pause, it glared up at her and pounced, knocking her down. As the heartless began to madly claw at her, Kairi finally got up the nerve to scream. She screamed and screamed as the evil creature created deep cuts all over her body.
Kairi finally realized that if she didn't do anything she was going to die. She began to thrash back at the creature and managed to shove it off of her. To her surprise, it wasn't much stronger than she. It fell over, and was about to leap up when she took the opportunity to kick it as hard as she could. It shrieked and skidded backwards to the other end of the room.
She took her moment of safety and looked around frantically for something to use as a weapon. Nothing.
She was about to run and try to make it to the door when she stopped. Her right hand felt strange. It almost felt warm. She lifted it up and looked at it closer. A light was forming. It grew longer and transformed into an odd shape. A...key? Kairi's eyes widened as the light turned into a solid object.
"It can't be..." she muttered. Just then, she saw out of the corner of her eye the heartless leaping for her. Her grip tightened on the handle of her new weapon and she spun around and drove the sharp end of the key right into the heartless' stomach. It was thrown backwards, breaking a lamp along its way, and smacked into the wall with a sickening thud. It slowly slid down onto the floor motionless.
Kairi stood there gaping at the dead heartless, unable to believe what just happened.
'Heartless...they are the creatures that took me! I was one of the seven princesses of heart or something, and they captured me and took my to a huge castle. I was unconscious until Sora saved me.'
'The heartless were devouring the worlds. That's why Sora had to go back and finish them off...that's why he had been gone for so long...he had been defeating the heartless before they reached the center of the worlds to destroy them. He supposedly killed them all and restored all of the worlds.'
Her mind was spinning. So the heartless are back? Are they going to destroy her home? She gasped aloud at the realization. Maybe Sora would have to leave again! After all he is the keyblade master.
'Wait a second...' she suddenly remembered her own keyblade that she magically summoned. She looked down at it's beauty. It was different from Sora's- It was thinner, and more sleek. It had a gracefulness to it that she couldn't quite place. The keyblade itself was silver with a crescent moon shape at the end. The handle was made of a dark blue leather, with silver, metal, symbol engravings on them. They looked oddly familiar too.
Her eyes widened. They're runes! She briefly studied them in school. They all meant different, but positive things: protection, luck, good fortune, strength, etc.
Her excitement suddenly faded into confusion.
'How can I be a keyblade master? I mean, I have learned that there can be more than one, but you must have a strong heart. My heart isn't strong...it has to be the weakest on this island.'
Kairi took her eyes off of her new keyblade and back at the heartless. 'Okay, back to reality...I have to talk to Sora, this island could be in danger!' she thought.
Her keyblade dissolved in her hand almost as if it was reading her thoughts. She stood there dumbfounded. "Dude...now that's cool," she said aloud.
She ran out of the door as fast as she could, heading to Sora's house.
She arrived there in about five minutes. She was about to knock when the door opened with Sora walking out. He almost stumbled into her. Catching his balance, he looked at her surprised. "Kairi! I was about to walk back to your house to see if-" he stopped short and gasped, noticing her shirt drenched in blood. "Holy shit what happened!?" he asked, concerned.
Kairi looked worriedly at him. "Don't worry about me! I ran over here as fast as I could. Something horrible has happened!" she paused to take a breath.
Sora shook his head. "Kairi, whatever it is, it can wait. Come in here, let me help you."
Kairi stomped in frusteration. "Sora! I'm fine! I need to talk to you-" she swayed a little, suddenly feeling extremely dizzy. She suddenly felt strong hands around her, picking her up.
Sora brought her in and laid her down on a couch. "My mom is working, and she's the one to heal this sort of stuff, so I gotta use this," Sora said. He lifted his hand up, palm raised. Just like Kairi's had, a keyblade slowly formed. Like she remembered, it was thicker, a little shorter, but looked extremely powerful. The blade was silver, and the handle was a royal blue, with with a gold design around it.
Sora raised the keyblade above his head, and said clearly, "Heal!"
Sora pointed the blade towards Kairi and a green light seeped out from the keyblade. It circled around her, and then was absorbed by her body. Kairi gasped as she looked down and saw her wounds closing up, not leaving even a scar.
"Th- Thank you." Kairi said, weakly sitting up. 'That was amazing...I wonder if I will ever be able to do that,' she thought.
Sora smiled, "No problem." He walked over and sat down on the couch next to Kairi. Turning to her, his eyes glimmered with alarm. "Tell me what happened," he asked calmly.
Kairi sighed. "There was a heartless in my house."
Sora looked at her in shock. "No way! I mean, it can't be...are you sure it wasn't something else?"
Kairi nodded. "Yes I'm sure! It was one of those little black ones with the yellow eyes and sharp, sharp claws...as you can see, heh."
Sora looked at her for a moment, with sadness hidden in his expression. He leaned over and hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you...It scares me to think that I could have lost you again," he said softly.
He pulled back. "How did you manage to escape? I mean, I doubt you could outrun them, they run pretty damn fast." Sora asked in wonder.
Kairi laughed, not knowing how else to react. "Well, you're not gunna believe this, but look..." She held out her hand and called in her mind for the keyblade. It appeared in her hand, just as it did before.
Sora gazed at it for a minute. "...Whoa..." was all he could say.
"I know," Kairi said shakily, "I still can't believe it myself."
Sora looked up at her. "That is amazing...well, I shouldn't be surprised. I mean, you are such a strong, pure person. There's no doubt that you would be a wonderful keyblade master."
Kairi looked at him like he was crazy. "Are you kidding? I mean, I almost killed myself! That's definitely a sign that I am weak."
Sora looked at her thoughtfully. "Kairi, you did that because of love. If there is anything that I have learned in all of my travels, it is that love is the most important thing in life. It can conquer your own knowledge of what is right and wrong."
"I guess..." Kairi muttered, but still not completely convinced.
After a few minutes, Sora stood up. "I guess I better go outside and see if there are any more heartless, they spread like crazy...they are like little horny rodents or something."
Kairi laughed. "Okay, let me help. I gotta put this new weapon in use somehow."
"Are you feeling up to it?" Sora asked.
Kairi nodded. "I feel as good as new."
Sora smiled. "Great. It will be nice to be fighting side by side with someone. Even better that it's you of all people."
Kairi stood up and began walking towards the door. "Well let's go then!"
After stepping through the door, Kairi noticed the sun was gone. It was almost pitch black and yet it was only about 5 pm. "Well that's something new." She muttered.
"Ooohhh shit." Sora said behind her. "Look up."
Kairi looked up and saw a swirling mass of black and purple clouds above them. They were surprisingly low, only about 50 feet up.
The wind blew around them in a strong current, and there was an eerie silence on the whole island.
Kairi looked back at Sora with an expression full of fear, worry, and hope.
"Not again..." she muttered.
(A/N: okay once again, I know my stories are mad short. But that's simply bc I'm a lazy person...so deal. Soon I might be changing the writing style to first person...but whatev. Oh! And to all of you Riku fans out there, I'm going to be putting him into the story a little more in the next chapters so do not fear! Hope ur liking the story so far!
