Chapter 5: Like in Horror Movies
Selphie got up in her warm bed and looked up at the bright, shining sun. She got out of her bed, and inserted her feet into her comfy pink slippers. She rose and walked towards the door. Something was in one of her slippers, like a rock, she didn't know what it was but it was uncomfortable. She ignored it and walked down the stairs, and got a happy greeting from her mother.
"Selphie! Come sit down and eat!" she told her. Selphie smiled a wide smile, and sat at the table. Her mom was cooking at the stove, and steam was rising from the pan.
"What are you making, mom?" Selphie asked. Her mother didn't say anything, but the steam grew and surrounded her mother's upper body. She heard the food in the pan sizzle. Selphie looked puzzled as her mom just stood there. She got up and walked near her mom. "Mom?" she asked cautiously. She tapped her mother's shoulder and something Selphie never expected happened. Her mom's head slid off her neck and fell into the pan, causing Selphie to scream out loud as the pan sizzled even more and the steam increased. Selphie fell back cause of the event, and she also felt even more pain from her slipper. She screamed in pain and horror and she flicked off her slipper, looking for what was causing her pain.
"Selphie! Selphie! Get up!" Kairi shouted, shaking her friend. Selphie was screaming and she finally woke up, shocked and catching her breath.
"Kairi! Kairi! It was a dream! Thank goodness!" Selphie shouted. Kairi nodded.
"You were kicking and screaming. What did you see?" Kairi asked. Selphie looked away from her friend, not wanting to tell her harsh dream.
"Can I tell you some other time? Right now is not the time." Selphie said getting up from her spot, brushing off dust from dirty yellow dress, which was now a mustard color. Kairi nodded.
"Fine, you don't have to tell me right now." Kairi said smiling. Tidus then ran inside the secret entrance.
"Breakfast is ready! Come on!" Tidus said, motioning them to come. Kairi looked curious.
"Breakfast? What are we having?" Kairi asked him, tilting her head slightly.
"Eggs. We found them by a couple of rocks on the other side of the island." Tidus told them. Kairi and Selphie smiled and quickly followed Tidus outside where they saw Riku and Sora around a fire, cooking the eggs.
"Come on guys, let's eat." Sora told them. Selphie nodded happily.
"Yes, lets!" she said and sat down. They all ate their food, it wasn't the best food in the world, but good for now. Riku then thought of something.
"Guys…what if we don't have enough food to last us?" he asked them. Everyone was bewildered. He was right, where would they find all the food?
"We will have to make due with what we have." Sora told him. They all agreed, still worried about the situation.
"Someone is bound to find us, anyway. A lot of people come to visit here, so when they do they might bring us back to their island!" Selphie told them. That was certainly a positive. But would anyone come?
Riku, Tidus and Sora all worked on the house, closing it up and attaching the door. Kairi and Selphie helped bring in stuff from the secret hideout, placing them in the corner of the little house. Kairi dropped a box of stuff onto the floor, and looked out the window. She saw some of the coconuts they have collected by the tree on the small cliff.
"Those are for dinner, right?" she asked Selphie as she was pointing to the coconuts. Selphie nodded.
"Yeah. Why?" Selphie asked.
"Just curious. I don't know what else to do here..." Kairi told her. Selphie looked around and spotted her dollhouse that she had ever since she was a little kid. Most of the stuff were missing now, because of the "storm" and because she lost some pieces.
"Lets play with my dolls, and the dollhouse." Selphie told her in excitement. She ran and sat Indian-style on the floor next to the mini house. Kairi nodded and did the same next to Selphie. Kairi picked up a doll with long, red hair and a white and red dress. It reminded her of her mother.
"I'll be this one." she said stroking the doll's hair.
"Fine. I'll be..." Selphie picked up a doll with long, blue hair and had baby blue skin. "Her!" Kairi looked at the doll curiously.
"What the hell is that?" she asked. Selphie frowned at her then looked at the doll.
"I bought it a couple of Christmases ago, from some guy in Traverse Town. He makes them himself." she told Kairi. "I don't know what it is, but it looked pretty cool to me."
"Its pretty nice I guess." Kairi said smiling. They suddenly heard Tidus screaming. Kairi and Selphie got up and ran outside.
"What the hell is going on?" Selphie said running towards the guys. Kairi followed as Riku turned to them.
"We found another one." Riku told them in a sad voice.
"Another what?" Kairi asked. Riku pointed to a lifeless body of a man that had long black hair that covered half of his face. He wore a casual button down shirt and jeans. Selphie cupped her mouth with her hands.
"Oh my god..." she said backing away. Sora came running back from another part of the island.
"Guys, if you don't like that, then you don't want to see what's on the other side of the island." Sora told them. They all looked curious, and Sora ran off leading them to the area. Everyone followed him through trees, rocks, and sand.
"What can be worse then a dead body?" Kairi asked Riku.
"Two dead bodies, perhaps?" Riku responded. Sora then stopped, and pointed to the beach close to where they were standing.
"Try twenty dead bodies." he said. Everyone gasped as they saw bodies, all washed ashore scattered across the sun-dried sand. They couldn't believe it, and then Selphie let out a scream.
"MOM!" she shouted, and sprinted toward her mom's corpse that lay by the water. She started to cry, and she picked up her mother by her shoulders. She wanted to beleive she was alive, and suddenly her mom's head tipped over and fell off. Selphie screamed and had a flashback from her dream, all the things in her dream raced through her head at that moment, and she collapsed backwards.
It was nighttime, and Kairi walked towards the secret hideout while the boys continued to work. She helped them too, but wanted to check out Selphie. She walked in and saw Selphie laying against the rock wall.
"You poor thing..." Kairi said, walking towards her. "That was horrible to experience..."
"...and somehow I knew it was going to happen." Selphie said with her eyes still closed.
"Your awake?" Kairi asked surprisingly. "What do you mean?"
"That's what I saw in my dream, Kairi." Selphie said, opening her eyes. "I saw my mom in the kitchen, and her head fell off." Selphie and Kairi both shuddered at the thought.
"I'm so sorry..." Kairi told Selphie, she didn't know what else to say for that moment. Selphie nodded and got up. They walked outside. Sora walked towards her.
"You ok?" he asked. Selphie nodded.
"Now I am." Selphie said, smiling. Kairi walked up to the small cliff, and looked out into the ocean.
"What are we going to do about the people..." she said to herself. All of a sudden, she heard a rustling in the bushes. Startled, she swiftly turned towards the bush. It wasn't moving.
"What the hell..." she said, stepping closer to the bush. Suddenly something leaped out of the bush. It was small and black with yellow eyes. Kairi screamed, catching everyone's attention.
"Oh my god...could it be..." she said starring at it in amazement, as the thing ran away.
