Chapter 3: Never let go
The tall shadow of a tall male stood firmly over her wavering figure. She brought her self to look up.
"oh h-hello." She paused for a moment looking down momentarily. She whispered his name so low he could barely make out. He walked over to her side placing a calm, friendly hand upon her shoulder. Her shoulder crumbled beneath his strong hands.
"Kairi what's the matter?" he asked, glancing her pale face over a few times. She inhaled deeply, making Wakka move somewhat uncomfortably. Her deep blue eyes met his chocolate brown ones. That said it all. Quickly he took her in his arms and pulled her in closely. They sat in silence. Only the distant sounds of the sunny utopia of the island could be heard. The gentle lapping of the waves, the cool afternoon breeze wafting through the small gaps in the rocks of the "secret place." Tears began to blind her as memories played back. She curled up into a small ball in his arms. A hard tug pulled at her heart, tears fell down her face, like small white pearls.
"He's coming to get you. I promise." Wakka whispered.
Another memory… a distant story… another face forgotten.
Those words were so familiar to her. Promises were always broken, friendships always torn away. But never had she experienced love, or now the loss of love. Everything around her seemed to fade away but that carving in the wall. She unconsciously pulled away from Wakka and turned to face the carving. She ran her fingers over it reading deep into the history of it, remembering the small crush she had on him back then, remembering how she felt at that moment.
"I'll never forget you." She whispered to the carving as if it could speak. In a way it responded. A single drop of water fell from the ceiling landing almost directly into her opened palm.
Please, wait for me… I'll never forget you... till death shall we part forever
Wakka watched in confusion as her hands traced over the childish carvings. The confusion soon turned into curiosity.
"Kairi." He said. She tilted her head to the side slowly in response. He began to pull out a small stuffed animal from his deep pockets. He handed Kairi the stuffed animal without hesitation. It was shaped in the form of what seemed to be a black cat. It's stomach was a sort of peach color. One of its eyes looked as if it had been replaced numerous times. It's stomach had a large badly placed heart in the center of it.
"She gave it to me before she left; she said that if I kept it close it would bring me luck." He explained looking almost painfully to the worn stuffed animal. Kairi glanced down to the stuffed animal in question.
"You mean…" Kairi looked back to the dirt floor to evade his gaze.
"Yeah, Lulu she was one of the strongest black mages or at least to me, it was always to much reading for me." He laughed and lifted his gaze to the small exposed blue sky that the stones allowed him to see.
"They eventually recruited her out to fight the heartless." He placed one hand on top of the other and released a sigh.
"Two years later, she went missing, haven't heard from her since. But I haven't stopped thinking of her." He looked back down to the stuffed animal and smiled.
"I'll never let go until I hear the worst, but she always had the abilities to strive on her own. So I don't expect to hear that anytime soon." He began to walk out. Kairi smiled, a silent thanks, a silent cry.
I'll never let go…
