Summary:

Now the girl is saving her lover, while he waits, trapped in the darkness...one night, is it her turn to do the fighting for her loved one? (SxK)

Author's Note:
Update! And yeah, I lied. I was supposed to write a new chapter or two when I have four days off…but hey. I got a big side-tracked. Don't we all? And I appreciate your ideas…the few of you who answered anyway, about when/if I should redo the first few chapters, and my rating. Thanks guys!

Oh, and I'm writing a story with LvKisHugs, so you better go review on there too. (Link is in my profile.)

Chapter Nine
"Finding a Way Out"

.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x:.

She wandered down an endless path. She had no idea where it would lead, and she didn't even know if she should turn back. Her eyes, which varied from blue to violet hues, were burning from getting accustomed to the dark. It seemed as if she'd never see the light again, from what this sandy path was telling her anyway.

She yearned for a sign, some sort of guidance to help her through this…but the only thing that came to her was memories. Memories of everything, her grandmother, Hallow Bastion, Sora, Riku, everything and anything that had been stored in her mind. It all rushed before her eyes, and she couldn't stop it.

Salty tears slowly fell from her eyes as she tried to make her way down this darkened path. She couldn't turn back; she couldn't let herself die in this miserable journey, she had to fight to get her way out of this.

It was the only thing she could do.

Vision upon vision, played vividly in her head, her pace became slower as she remembered the worst moments, to her best, leading all the way up to when she saw Sora for the last time. Something that made her tears fall faster by just thinking about it.

"I'll come back to you…I promise!"

Her breathing slowed down, it felt like something was taking away the air, and so her breaths got smaller as she continued. It was a feeling so sinister, so dark, that she thought she was going to die. The sides of this darkened path were solid, and she leaned against it as she tried to get herself back to normal. She slid down the wall until she had her head on her knees, ever so trying to keep up with her thoughts.

What if I never came to the island? What if I never met Riku? What if I never told him where I was from, or how I can't remember anything of my past? Would I be in this situation right now?

.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x:.

So, suppose you get to another world. What would you do there?

Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just... I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?

I don't know.

Exactly. That's why we need to go out there and find out. Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So let's go.

.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x:.

"I should have never told them! I should have just drowned on my way to the islands and none of this would have happened!" She choked, her voice started to crack from not having enough air in her lungs. More tears fell down her face, leaving more trails. At this point, she didn't care what she looked like, or how she was supposed to get out of here. All she wanted was for none of this to happen.

But then, she thought of him. His voice, his smile that would always cheer her up in the worst of her moods. All of it was pure memory, she needed the real Sora, and she needed him now. The only thing she really wanted at this moment was to sit beside him and make all the worries in her life disappear.

She soon realized, if she wanted him back it was up to her and her only to get him.

Using all the strength she could muster, she pulled herself up using her sword. And slowly breathed in, and back out, as she continued her way down this path. This fate. This destiny.

A chill went down her spine as she walked, her quiet footsteps leaving footprints in the ground that seemed to disappear as well as everything she passed behind her. A way out was all she needed right now, a door, a light, anything.

As she stared at the ground, she noticed the shadows, and the path ahead because brighter. And as she looked up so her eyes would meet whatever came ahead, she saw something she thought she'd never see.

The light.
