Chapter 7: Like a Black and White Zombie Movie
Kairi couldn't believe it, where on earth was Sora? Just a simple game and he's gone…
"And who else could be here to write that note…" Kairi said to herself. She shook her head and ran through the trees with her friends.
"You know, it could be just a practical joke of his!" Tidus said in a soothing matter rather then an angry one. He couldn't be angry with Sora If it was a practical joke, it was better then if it was real.
"…And I doubt Sora would do something like that in this situation." Riku added to Tidus's comment.
"If it is, Sora wouldn't hear the end of it!" Selphie shouted, still running. They all finally got to an unwanted destination, the beach of a thousand corpses.
"Ugh…this isn't worth it…" Selphie said in a low, upsetting voice. She began to turn until Kairi caught her by her dress.
"Selphie…you're coming and that's that." Kairi demanded and pulled the other girl behind her. Riku then stopped in his tracks, everyone doing the same seconds later.
"Wait…I could of sworn there were more bodies here last time we came…" Riku said to them. Tidus then walked over to an imprint in the sand.
"…And here it looks like a body was laying in the sand…but now it's gone." Tidus added and shivered at his own words. Selphie walked slowly, passing all kinds of people along the way. She stopped at her mother's body, and bent over to the head a few inches away from where it connects where the neck. She started to weep, sending tears flying down and gently kissing her mother's soft skin, which would soon rot away. Selphie stopped tormenting herself and decided to leave from that spot, but before she could her mother's head moved.
"Oh my god…" she whispered. She started to step back, until suddenly her mother's head turned fully around in a quick motion, her eyes glowed a bright yellow and her mouth started to open.
"Hraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Selphie got up and ran as everyone turned to the unpleasant noise. They saw the head of Selphie's mother, alive and screaming.
"What? How!" Kairi shouted. Just then, more bodies started to move, and they got up, slowly. Their ragged and ripped clothes bending and folding as they pushed themselves as they tried to get up from the ground. Their hair, now dry but with sand making it their home. And their eyes, glowing a bright yellow color…a familiar bright yellow color.
"Split up and run to the hut!" Riku commanded to everyone. They nodded in agreement and they each went their own way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sora searched around the dark room for a way out, feeling all the walls around him.
"Where the hell am I?" he asked frantically. He's been in the room for a while now, and he couldn't see anything. He started to wonder if he'd gotten blind when he got knocked out.
"And what was it that knocked me out…"
Suddenly, a light was started from above. He looked up, and saw a small hole with two heads peering out. One of them had the light source…on their head.
"What? Who are you? Please, let me out!" he pleaded to them. The one with the fire on her head started to giggle and got a light punch from the other one.
"Sora…" the other one spoke. She crawled out of the hole and jumped down. She was a heartless. A human-like heartless. The other one jumped down as well, and also was a heartless, but a "fire" one.
"Heartless? What?" he asked in amazement. The heartless with no fire laughed.
"We finally got you…after all this time spoiling our plans…we got you, Sora." She said menacingly. "My name is Phanta, and…" she was interrupted by Sora.
"Where am I? Where are my friends?"
"Your friends are still on the island…unharmed…for now." She said smiling evilly.
"For now? What!" he shouted. Phanta ignored him.
"You are in a cave on the island, only the entrance and exit is up there. You aren't far." She explained to him.
"They could be right outside even…" the other one said, followed by a giggle. Phanta gestured for her to be quiet.
"Shut up, Fotia!" she said angrily. Fotia nodded and made a "lock your lips and throw away the key" gesture with her hand.
"Right outside? Well then, I'm going to get them. Nice meeting you, but I'm leaving…now." Sora said rudely but respectable enough for him, and ran over to the rocky wall and climbed up to the opening.
"Go ahead, leave." Phanta shouted to him.
"Don't worry, I'm way ahead of you." He shouted back, and climbed to the end and dropped out. There, he heard shouts of fear from not to far away. "It sounds like them…" he said to himself, and with a shot of hope, he sprinted through the trees.
"Guys! Guys! I'm here!" he said shouting, trying to get their attention. Sora then ran into someone, sending them both falling down.
"Ow…" he said rubbing his head. He got up, squinting his eyes until he got full focus, and starred at the body he ran into. It was one of the corpses.
"Was it just walking?" he said out loud in shock. The corpse then opened its eyes, glowing yellow, and started to get up again. Sora stepped back in horror, and turned to run. Just then he caught in view, Tidus, running through the trees. He was being followed by these…zombies.
"What are these things…" Sora whispered. He then called Tidus over to him, expecting a reply.
Nothing.
"Tidus! Tidus! It's me, Sora! Right here!" Sora shouted, but Tidus ignored him and kept running. Sora made his trademark pout and was ready to sprint after his friend, but then something caught his foot. Sora turned around and it was another one of those zombies with the yellow eyes, and more were right behind him.
"Those are all the corpses from the beach! How are they alive?" Sora wondered as he struggled free. He then ran as fast as he could through the trees and after his friend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Selphie, being the fastest runner, was already inside their little hut, out of breath. As she leaned against the wall, Kairi burst in through the door.
"Selphie!" she shouted, not able to say anymore, catching her breath.
"Kairi…good you're here…where is Riku and Tidus?" Selphie asked curiously. She then heard someone running by the hut, and then Riku ran inside, and immediately sat down on the floor, catching his breath.
"And now for…" but before Kairi could finish, Tidus came running inside and he slammed the door shut. Everyone caught his or her breath, and Riku got up.
"How the hell did this happen? Our parents die, were stranded, Sora disappears, corpses come to life, what the f*** is next? The Apocalypse!" Riku shouted. Kairi tried to calm Riku down as Selphie started to tear at the thought of her mother's head, just rolling to the side with those glowing yellow eyes…
"Riku please calm down, you made her cry!" Kairi quietly told Riku. Selphie shook her head.
"No, he didn't. It was…something else." Selphie explained even thought what he said was a small part of it. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
They all leaned against the walls of the hut, and started to sit down. There was a silence, but banging against the walls of the hut suddenly broke it. Riku leaped up, and starred at the blank wall.
"What is that?" he asked.
"Wow, what a stupid question Riku…" Tidus remarked. Riku turned and frowned at him and then head for the door. Kairi pulled back.
"No, you mustn't. It's those things. If you go out, they will just know we're all here." She told him calmly. Kairi was right, and plus, he was outnumbered. Big time.
"Well what else do we do? Got an ideas?" he asked her in a meaner way then he wanted. Before Kairi could answer, the door slightly shook. Selphie rushed over to lock it, and then stepped back to the end of the hut. The doorknob started to turn, and then the door started to shake even more.
"Oh my god…we're all going to die…and I'm not being dramatic. It's like a fact right now. Think of the situation." Kairi said nervously as Tidus rolled his eyes at her.
"Yeah, you are being dramatic." He said, correcting her. Kairi frowned and turned her attention to the door, which suddenly began to shake violently. Selphie hid behind Tidus and gripped his shoulders tightly, and Kairi's eyes widened. As the door was shaking wildly, Riku bent down and looked under the door.
"Holy shit. No way." He whispered while his eyes still looked under the door. Kairi then crept closer to him, still looking at the door.
"What? What is it?" Kairi asked, gaining her fear again. Riku still sat there looking under the door.
"Things cant get any worst, can they?" Riku asked with a mad tone. Kairi was now frustrated.
"Riku, what the hell is it?" Kairi shouted over the racket the door was making. Riku turned to face them.
"Look under there. There are no feet on the other side."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phanta and Fotia walked along the beach, watching all the zombies chasing after the kids. Her plan was going along perfectly. Sure the steps to her brilliant plan had to do with the King's plan, but after that's over with, she can use her own.
"Wow, I'm so good I amaze myself…" she said, laughing. Fotia looked at her with a puzzled face.
"What?" she asked. Phanta lowered her eyebrows.
"Nothing, don't pay attention to me." She said coldly. Fotia shrugged and giggled, and continued to skip through the sand, making it as hot as ever.
"Should we be go look for Sora now? He probably figured out what we did to him by now." She asked her fire friend. Fotia continued to skip and sway her arms in the air, and of course, a giggle followed.
"Fotia?" Phanta asked, louder then before. Fotia just ignored her.
"FOTIA!"
"What?"
"Why aren't you answering me?!"
"'Cause you told me not to pay attention to you before, 'member?"
Phanta's sweat dropped and sighed as she continued to walk through the sand towards the trees.
"Let's go, Fotia." Phanta ordered and Fotia nodded and skipped behind Phanta as Phanta lead the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Not only are we dealing with zombies, but now, we're dealing with GHOSTS!" Kairi shouted, holding back tears. Selphie's mouth dropped.
"What? Ghosts?" Selphie asked, refusing to believe her friend's words. The door continued to rattle wildly as Kairi nodded to Selphie's questions. Selphie then bent down and gulped as she so no one there, and then the door suddenly came to a stop.
There was a pause for a moment, and they heard footsteps around the hut.
"What happened?" Tidus whispered. Riku shrugged and put his ear against the door.
"Riku! He's behind the hut! You can go outside and check!" Selphie whispered, worried for her friend but also was eager to see what was there. Riku nodded,
Grasped the doorknob, and unlocked the door. He started to sweat, and then slowly opened it.
Nothing.
Just the sand, pieces of wood, everything normal. Only he saw footsteps, going around the hut.
"Look guys, footsteps!" he whispered to them. Kairi starred at them from afar.
"You mean shoe prints…and they look familiar…" Kairi whispered. Riku and Tidus nodded in unison.
"She's right, they do." Tidus told Riku. Suddenly, they heard footsteps running back around the house. Riku was ready to go inside when he saw shoe prints forming in front of him, with no one there. His eyes widened as he felt something, like the warmth of hands, touch his shoulders. He let out a small scream and quickly ran inside and shut the door. Kairi looked into his eyes, and saw the fright. A ghost, zombies, death of their parents, he was right. What could be next…

I wouldnt be surprised if most of you forgot about this story, Im a very slow updater. Most of you are probably thinking "HE TOOK SO LONG AND THATS HOW LONG THE CHAPTER IS!!?!??"
Well, yeah, you have a right to be pissed. And I know this chapter isnt that great. Lemme just say one thing, my writer's block (and lazyness) has finally ended, so expect chapter 8 in a a couple of days (and it will be better if you didnt like this one that much)Ten days to two weeks the most. R&R! L8r.
