1Okay, this is going to be the longest chapter I've ever written. I told myself that I would write at least 2000 words. So here it goes! takes deep breath
Chapter 2: Escape the Island
One year...and yet, it seemed like a decade. She looked like a mess, but she didn't care. The year had brought changes upon her, that she had to deal with. Her jeans where now capris. She couldn't stand the Island heat in long jeans, but she refused to cut of the grass stains. They where the last memory of her old home among the hills. Her blouse now looked like a tank top. With all the practice with the sword, it had practically formed itself. She remembered the day she had found it. It was like a dream, and yet the scars showed her that it was not.
"Destiny Island?" Tera asked confused to the boy. "Ya man...you okay?" He said, staring at her. Tera only shook her head and ran off. She ran to the base of a huge tree in hopes to hide. This whole thing was just to weird. And what if those black things came back. She thought she had reached a dead end when she heard a low noise. She pushed back some plants and saw a small path. She quickly took it and found her self in a strange cave. It had doodles all over the walls of strange creatures and people. But what caught her attention was the weird door. It had no door knob, only a giant key whole. And at the base of the door was a black sharp sword. The blade was pure black, but the edge of the blade was a blood red, almost as if it was fresh blood. "Get away from there!" a voice yelled. Tera turned around to see a girl with short red hair. She was wearing a whit tank top and a short pastel purple skirt. She had a look that could kill as she pushed Tera away from the strange door. "He hasn't come back to seal it yet, and your not going to screw it up! Now get out of here!" She yelled, turning her back to look at the door. "Who?" Tera asked. The girls headed tilted down and Tera thought she saw a drop of water hit the ground. "Go!" she screamed. Tera quickly ran out, in fear of what was going to happen if she stayed.
She sighed as she thought of it. It was that boys fault she wasn't home right now. He had abandon her! Well, she was going to escape the Island, and seek her revenge. Tera now sat upon a bent palm tree. But this tree was not normal. It had a strange fruit on it that the Islander Kids loved and had stories about. It annoyed her as she thought of them. Wakka was an okay guy. All he really cared about was his made up game. He called it Blitzball, and tried to get Tera to play once, but the rules were way to hard. She let out a small giggle as she thought of his outfit. He called it his team uniform, but he didn't have a team. He was the first and last person she had ever talked to.
But then she let out a low growl of anger as Sophie came into her mind. She was always daydreaming! Why couldn't she get her head out of the clouds for once in her life? And she knew that she had a crush on Tidus and she was mad at her. But was it her fault that Tidus had a crush on her? She had to give Tidus his props, he was cute. But she didn't have any attraction to him. She had fought him once and beaten him badly. That probably was a mistake on her part. That's when all the flirting had started. He had even offered her the poapu friuit. But she shook her head and said "I don't like fruit." But he never gave up, which was also annoying.
She watched as the sun went down for another day. The giggling of the other teenagers was fading. They headed back to the mainland every night. But Tera had to stay there. She lived on the Island, and had no home to go to. If she did, do you think she would've looked like trash?
But one girl didn't ever go home til way late. Kiarie...the girl who waits on the dock. She sits there all day and looks out to sea. Tera could sense she was waiting. Why else would she sit there all day, every day? She had kicked her out of that cave her first day here. Tera had tried going back in there, but Kiarie watched that cave like a hawk. Tera knew it was to do with the door, but didn't put much thought into it. Until lately that is. She could only think about the fact that it could get her off the Island. It was think a feeling. It was a small pull. So she had a plan. When Kiarie went beyond the other door, she would make her move. What could be beyond that door that she couldn't handle?
The sun had gone down, and Kiarie had left behind the other door. No one went beyond it, because of Kiarie. It was almost as if she owned the Island. She silently snuck into the secret path, and was once again in the cave. She walked over to the door and stuck her hand on the keyhole. Then with a tug she pulled it open, closing her eyes. But all that came was a chill. Slowly she opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness. Are you afraid of the darkness? Tera shook her head in response. Slowly she felt her body be pulled in, until a voice screamed "What the hell are you doing?" Tera whipped around and saw Kiarie. "I'm getting off this Island!" Tera yelled back. "You know nothing of what you do!" she yelled, running forward to close the door. But something inside Tera made her reach out and push Kiarie back. Suddenly a voice came from her mouth that was not hers that said, "You know nothing of me, of what I must do! I must complete the key and reunite all darkness!" Tera shook her head and stared at Kiarie. She only stared at her in shock. But before she could do anything, The two girls were pulled in through the door, and a door slammed, closing out all darkness.
