Disclaimer: Okay, I don't own anything in Chapter 2 except for Josh Kerring, and he was only made up because I had the elections on my mind. Like I said before, I've decided to combine chapters so they're as long as I'd like them. So when I say people who volunteer to be in Chapter 6, I actually mean Chapter 3 or 4. So once again you've probably had enough of my rambling, so on with the Chapter.
Chapter 2: Who is he?
Destati
The boy turned over, realizing by the infa-red that he was in a marshy swamp. Slowly, he pressured his legs to their limits and stood up. "Ah," he hissed.
Somehow the gashes had increased in size, they were infected. Blood poured from each cut as he limped slowly down the rock passageways. He needed shelter; otherwise he would certainly meet his demise. A droning noise loomed off in the distance, a heartless? No, it couldn't be. They were quite silent while sneaking and devouring their prey. 'It must be some kind of Gummi Ship,' He thought.
The droning increased and the distant rumbling from the source increased. The ground began to shake and the boy "saw" the infa-red of a man, about twenty-two, with an outlining of purple, for curiosity. He was in an odd dome that moved on wheels. As the object sped nearer and nearer, the boy limped along, shedding tons of amounts of blood. Something was pressuring him to stay. Something was very wrong.
A ghastly emotion arose in the depths of his soul. A name rang through his ears, Ansem. He felt queasy, and all the infa-red fragments began to swirl, sickening him horribly. Everything halted and it felt as if time and space had stopped for one amazing fall that triggered the boy's thoughts to remember some of his past. "I'm not afraid of the darkness Sora." A boy about 15 echoed in his ears.
A burnet boy, the one from his memory, lunged forward and grabbed the boy's hand, "Riku!" The boy shrieked.
The boy with dirty silver hair was bolted awake by a sudden shock on his chest. A man with green infa-red fragments poured over him. "Sir, are you okay?"
The boy slowly sat up. Obviously, this new man had called the hospital, for there were ambulances and TV reporters all around. The voice of a TV reporter echoed over to him. "I'm live where twenty-five year old Josh Kerring, a local farmer, who discovered a man who has been so injured that as we speak, the doctors are wandering how he's still alive. He seems to be blinded, but the same question still haunts us all. Who is he and how did he get here?"
The green-aured man, now known as Josh Kerring, graciously invited the boy to stay at his home. Half-heartedly, the boy agreed. "So, what's your name son?" Josh asked.
The boy thought, he thought hard, but it was no use. He shrugged," Nobody."
Mr.Kerring gave him an unsatisfied look," how about Charlie?"
"Why Charlie," The silver haired boy asked.
"Well, it's better then 'Nobody', isn't it?" Mr.Kerring responded.
Charlie shrugged," I couldn't care less."
Mr.Kerring parked in the driveway of a ranch. There was no one in the fields or at the barn. There were about 20 milking cattle, 7 breeding cattle, 2 newborn calves, 70 sheering sheep, 10 show horses, 3 fowls, 90 chickens, and a herd of 45 riding horses in the pasture. Charlie looked at Mr.Kerring," a ranch?"
"No," Mr.Kerring replied," a farm."
Mr.Kerring got out of the vehicle and escorted Charlie, who followed the infa-red fragments, to the barn. "Now," he began," if you want to live with us, you've got to work with us. Charlie, I want you to take ol' Destiny here for a run."
Charlie turned and faced the horse. It had pink infa-red and looked friendly. "Now," Mr.Kerring ranted," There's another horse in the valley over there, vicious one at that, but I want you to beat the odds and bring back the horse known as Midnight."
Charlie snickered," Vicious huh? I'll get him with ease."(Still naïve, sniff, sniff. )
With that, Charlie mounted Destiny and began to ride towards the valley. Mr.Kerring, noticing how skilled a blind boy with amnesia could ride a horse so well and so fast, turned towards his country home and waltzed inside. Meanwhile, Charlie rode off towards the valley, known as Magna Carta Valley. He skillfully avoided the roads and potholes'; trying not to tire the horse was a more complicated task. Suddenly, Destiny went berserk and began to fling Charlie around. He landed flat on his back, underneath the hooves of a distressed horse. A hove descended on his face and he was rendered unconscious.
Destiny rode on back to the farm, leaving an incapable Charlie there to suffer. Charlie took quite a bit to the head, and took on another memory of the past.
"You can become stronger," A familiar voice echoed.
"But how," Sora has his key blade and a strong heart. I have the words of a raving lunatic!" The boy shouted.
"Now, now boy," The sinister hooded figure droned," you will find the answer with Midnight."
"Don't you mean at Midnight?" The boy corrected.
"No." The voice responded.
Something fluffy sniffed his left ear. Then it licked, "Argh!" Charlie groaned as he struggled to his feet, "Stupid Destiny!"
When the fragments swirled into view, he saw the infa-red of a horse. It wasn't Destiny, it was Midnight.
Well, how'd you like it? Hope it was good; the funny chapters come in about Chapter 4 though. If it gets annoying that you don't know where the scenery is in the memories, that's because there is no scenery, that's because of amnesia. I can't wait until I decide to give him his sight back! It's hard to describe those fragments.
Riku: I can't wait either.
Me: Let's see...we'll just post pone that until Chapter 29...
Riku: Meanie.
