'The cloth is easy to find. I think I saw one in the tree house the other day.' She thought, heading toward the desired location. Cedeile walked into the shady area of the trees, when Wakka came up to her.
"Hi Wakka!"
"Hey! Ya got time for a battle?"
"Not today!"
"Oh, come on! One round, eh?"She shook her head and walked on. Climbing up the pathway that hugged the giant tree, she reached the treehouse on top. An eerie wind blowed by, and she became suddenly cold. She shivered, but proceeded anyway. "There it is!" She stepped forward to grab the cloth, hanging from the wall when she heard a deep, dark voice from behind her.
"The purest heart...?" It said. She turned around fast as lightning.
"Sora?"But no one was there,only the empty doorway. There wasn'ta single sound, except the seagulls cawing outside. "What...was that?" she asked to the silence, rubbing her cold arms to warm up. She grabbed the cloth and ran out down the walkway back to the cove.
-
Cedeile flopped down on the end of the dock, watching the sun set. The oceans had become an orange gold color, and the sun was a firey burning red.
'Soon, the three of them will be going beyond the sun, out onto the ocean." she thought. She heard footsteps coming up from behind her and turned. Sora stood there and looked at her in silence. After awhile, he decided to sit down.
"Hey." he said, not really sure what he was doing.
"Hey yourself."
"What's wrong? You seem all nostalgic and stuff."
"Nothing. Just thinking about the old days. I can't believe you'll be leaving soon."
"Yeah." he sighed. "It's going to be exciting. I wish you were coming. You still can, if you want."
"No. I don't want to go. It's like I couldn't leave here if I tried. Besides, my mom would kill me." They both laughed at that statment, cause they knew it wastrue. Soon, the sun had set, and the dreaded time has come for them to go home.
"You coming home tonight?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I think so." She replied laughing. He got up, and then reached down and grabbed her hand, pulling her to her feet. They smiled at each other as a pleasant wind blew off the water, blowing their hair. She hopped in her boat, and he in his,and the two began to row away from island.
'But neither of us will really say what's really on our minds. We'll laugh for a while and then head off for home, but I'll never say that I don't want him to go.' she thought sadly. All too soon they reached land. Both tied their boats to the dock and climbed up onto it, walking back towards the village.
"Well, tomorrow's my last day." he said. He looked at the stars that were beginning to twinkle.
"I guess it is. Not that you'll be partying or anything-Kairi's gonna work you like a dog, I bet!" she joked.
"You're right.
"Uh Sora...?"
"Yeah?"
"Just don't forget me when you go see those new worlds, okay?" She walked past him, then stopped and turned to face him. "Okay?"
"Of course." he said, smiling. "I'll never forget you. We'll be friends to the end!" He said, jabbing his fist into the air.
"You bet, and I'll hold you to that, got it?"
"Right. See you tomorrow."
"Later." Cedeile ran home.
-
After dinner, Cedeile layed on her bed, looking at her ceiling.
"There are all sorts of worlds out there..."
"Really?"
"Do you want to see them?"
"Yes, Sora! Will you show them to me?"
"Sure! It'll be the two of us on an adventure..." The words faded from her mind as she turned her head to look at the island. She slowly lifted herself up and leaned on her window sill.
"New worlds, huh?" she said to the darkness. "It'll be some adventure all right."
-
"Alright! It's time to gather the supplies!" Kairi annouced like a drill sergant.
"Yes ma'am!" Cedeile mock saluted. Sora snickered and Riku sighed.
"Come on you guys! If we don't hurry up, then we'll never get out to see other worlds." He looked over at Cedeile. "Why are you here still?"
"I'm going to make sure you get out there, Riku! You need my help. Admit it!"
"I think your 'help' will slow us down." he replied.
"Come on guys. Riku, be nice to her." Kairi giggled. "You guys all know what to do?" They boys walked off. Cedeile was about to do the same when Kairi gave her a bottle.
"Here. Use this to get the water, okay?"
"Alright. I'll be back, Kairi!" And with that, Cedeile ran to were water came out of the rock wall in the cove. Cedeile waded to the place where it poured into the ocean. Holding the glass jar underneath the falling water, she waited until the water was filled before plugging it back up. Suddenly from above, a board from the bridge came down, smacked her on the head, fell back into the water, and caused her to dropped the sealed bottle into the ocean.
"Damn it! Who did that?" she yelled, not getting an anwser. She sulkingly retreived the bottle and walked back to dry land. Shaking her head to get her long hair dry, she approached Kairi. "Hey, what's going on? Where's Sora and Riku?"
"Having a race. First to the Paopu tree and back here wins!" she said.
"So they made the bridge break." she said slowly. 'I'll give them a piece of my mind when they come back.' she thought. The two were neck and neck as they ran back over the bridge and towards where the girls stood. It was truely a photo finish.
"So?" Riku panted. "Who won?"
"It was a tie." Cedeile said, unamused.
"What's got you?" Sora asked.
"The two of you made a wooden plank fall on my head, that's what!" She yelled at them.
"Is that it?" Sora asked.
"Nearly lost your water." she said frankly. She held up the jar and got in position to throw it into the ocean. "I may just happen to lose it again, and you're the one going after it." she taunted.
"No way!" Sora said. Cedeile pitched it far out into the waters. Kairi clapped.
"Nice throw." she said.
"Kairi! Make Cedeile go get it!"
"I got the water in ther first place out of the kindness of my heart. You can get it now. Later!" She said, walking off. Kairi laughed as Sora pouted.
-
The Secret place had long been used by Kairi and Sora as their get away from the world. None of the others kids went there-it just wasn't done. Well, maybe Cedeile did, when she knew no one was around. And it was one of these chances that came aound about now.
She craweled under the bushes and over the roots that obsucred the opening. When she got through them, she was able to stand and she brushed off her clothes. The cave was silent, not even the wind made any noise. It gave one the feeling of peace and eerie calm, almost like it was a curch or cemetary or something. You always spoke queitly and walked slowly in the Secret place.
Cedeile sat down and looked up at all the drawings on the walls. She smiled a little. Sora and Kairi drew all of those. But what they didn't know, made Cedeile laugh a little in the silence. She slowly stood up and moved aside a rock. The rock looked like the rest of the wall-it too had been covered with drawings-but no one knew that it lead to a small chamber. Cedeile had made this small place her own when she was very little and alone. There were a couple of drawings on the wall in a corner. The sunlight came through a hole in the ceiling, just like the main cave. But this room had the sense of lonliness- that of a small lost child. The one Cedeile had been. She sighed as she lay in the golden sand on the floor of the cave.
"Hmm.."she whispered quietly. 'Maybe...I don't want you to go...' she fliped on her back and found herself looking at a picture she had drawn, expcet it was upside down from the angel she was at, so she flipped herself the right way to get a better look.
It was an image she had nearly forgotton. It was that of a person in a long cloak, holding a sword. She thought she saw this boy in a dream she had a very long time ago after something bad had happened, and in the dream he took her hand and led her out of darkness. She somehow wished this boy, whoever he was, was real. She wated to thank him from saving her from despair...and death.
She placed her hand over the drawing, feeling the smooth stone.
"Maybe you are real? I don't know...But will you save me again?"
"How odd for the girl with the purest heart to be as this one is..." a voice remarked. Cedeile turned to see a figure standing in shadows.
"Who are you? Get out of here!" she yelled, standing on her feet and getting ready to fight, fists raised. The person only laughed.
"Vunreable and weak one moment, hiding behind a mask of strenght and bravery the next. How foolish you are..." the figure said. "There is no use in fighting the inevitable."
"What do you want?" she asked, not moving from her stance.
"You are so foolish. You cannot comprehend anything. You understand little, and your desire to never leave your world proves it."
"Oh yeah! Why don't you let my fists do a little proving of their own?" she taunted. But the figure only began to disapear into the shadows.
"Everything will fall to darkness...even you..."And he was gone. Cedeile crawled out of her secret chamber and slid the rock to close it. Standing up and getting ready to leave, she noticed two drawings on the wall. Sora and Kairi had done them of themselves when they were little, but something was changed this time. It now had Sora giving a paopu fruit to Kairi. Cedeile smiled.
'I always knew that Sora liked her..." she thought as she walked out of the Secret place. But the she turned. She had an idea...
