Chapter 12- Tortured Soul
Point of view: Kairi
"Where in the world am I?" I said to myself. I seemed to be in a deserted world. "Hello is anyone out there?"
I was standing in the ruins of an old building structure. It seemed to be pretty old. A pail of grass was laid down on the ground. I went over to it. It seemed to be as if someone had slept here. I saw something shiny on the ground and picked it up. It was a symbol of the heartless but it was only have of it. At that exact moment a gummi ship flew over my head and landed on the ground. Two figures raced over to me.
"Kairi...where have you been?" Aerith said to me as she gave me a big hug. "I am so glad you are safe and back with us, but have you seen Alex anywhere. I am afraid that she is missing."
Cloud walked over and gave me his smile. "So where were you Kairi?"
"I was needed at Hollow Bastion. Belle summoned me there." I replied back to him.
"Have you seen Alex what so ever because I am afraid she fell out of the gummi ship when we crashed and we have been searching for her nonstop?" Cloud said.
"No I have not seen her at all. I am sure she is fine. What happened to you guys anyway?"
"Well we were on our way to Twilight Town when our gummi ship began to have problems. We were about to crash into this world when all three of us were hauled from the ship to this world in different places." Aerith said.
"I fixed the ship and flew up and down this entire world to find Alex but I don't think she is here anymore. We have seen no sign of any living life what so ever. It is like this whole world was destroyed by someone." Cloud looked out into the distance. I could tell that he was worried just by the look on his face.
"There is no need to stay her any longer, so lets head back to Twilight Town." Aerith, Cloud and I took our seats on the gummi ship and headed towards Twilight Town.
I awoke up in a bed. A figure came into the room and turned on the lights. "What the ...?" I said.
"Good morning Sora." It said.
Rubbing my eyes I could finally see who it was. "Yuffie...is that you?"
"Yup its me alright. Long time no see Sora. How are you feeling?" She said smiling back at me.
"Well as you could see I am in a hell of a lot of pain." I sarcastically said back to her.
"Oh ok well I have some food for you in the kitchen if you can walk down the stairs to it." Yuffie looked at me and offered me her arm.
"I am still capable of walking. Trust me I think I could walk on my own." I stepped out of bed and painfully trotted down the stairs to the kitchen following right behind Yuffie.
She still seemed to be her old self and hadn't changed a bit. "So I hope you didn't burn anything." I said while smirking at her.
"Don't worry I didn't but if Leon was cooking then it would be burnt everything." Yuffie handed me a plate. I grabbed it with my hand and a sharp pain rushed through my body. "OOOOWWWW...my arm it hurts like a mother." I said trying not to bend it at all.
"It looks like you have a broken arm Sora. Hold on I will go get some bandages to wrap it up." Yuffie disappeared. Leon soon entered the kitchen with a wet washcloth and a bucket of ice and water. "Sora you're up. It is so good to see you again." Leon came over to me and patted me on the same arm that was broken.
"Watch it Leon, Sora has a broken arm." Yuffie came into the room with a First Aid kit and began to bandage my arm.
"Sorry I didn't know." Leon said while filling the bucket with ice and water.
"So how is she doing Leon?" Yuffie said while just finishing the sling that was holding my arm up.
"Well it seems to be that she is getting worse. I am worried that her fever will not break." He said.
"Who are you talking about Leon?"
"Oh when we were on another world we came across this girl about your age. She was lying unconscious on the ground. So we took her back here." Leon had finished with the ice and water and was walking over to the other room.
"Leon can I see her?" I said. "Looks like my curiosity got me."
"Sure. Follow me."
Leon led me up the stairs. He walked passed the room I was in and three doors down. Leon opened the door and I peeked in. The room had a single bed, which was all green with ninja things everywhere. It looked like Yuffie's room. The girl lay on the bed. I walked up closer to her and finally realized who it was.
"It's Alex." I said to Leon. "This girl is named Alex. She is a close friend of mine but it appears that her appearance has changed."
Leon looked at me with a weird expression on my face. I just stared at her. Her hair was no longer amber brown but a darker brown almost raven colored and it was much longer. She had multiple cuts and bruises on her face. Her cloths were all in black. The one thing that I was shocked to see was her bracelet was broken again and it was no longer silver but black with the heartless symbol instead of the key.
"Sora are you ok?" Leon asked.
I didn't answer I was just too shocked to speak. "Sora...what's wrong?" Leon asked again.
"I...I...just can't believe what I am seeing right now. You see Leon this girl is completely different then what she used to be. It is like she has changed. Something is not right about her. How long has she been out like this for?" I asked.
"She has been like this for about three days straight now. She has not wakened up at all. She just keeps on sleeping but she does mumble things in her sleep plus she has also had the fever for three days as well. She just keeps getting worse and worse." Leon looked very concerned and just kept staring at her. "Sora go finish your breakfast I will watch after her."
I followed what he said and walked away. It then hit me that this could be Alex's true form and that the effects are starting to take place. This is what Riku and Ansem were talking about.
I ate my breakfast and walked back to Yuffie's room to see how Alex was doing. "How is she doing Leon?"
"She is still the same. I think her temperature has risen though. I tell you Sora she looks like she will not make it."
"WHAT...HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT LEON. ALEX IS A FIGHTER AND I AM POSTITIVE SHE WILL MAKE IT." I screamed at him.
How could he not believe that she would pull through? I mean what I have learned about her so far it sounds like she has been through a shit load just like Riku. I guess that is why they get along so well because they can both relate to one another by the experiences that they have been through.
"Sora I didn't mean it like that. It just seems kind of hopeless. She just keeps getting worse. Sora I need some sleep so can I count on you to take care of her while I get some rest." Leon said.
"Sure. No problem I will take care of her Leon. Just go get some sleep because you look like crap." I said.
"Thank you Sora I appreciate the compliment." Leon walked out of the room.
I picked up the washcloth and carefully dabbed it on her forehead. She had a cold sweat and her forehead was burning up.
"Hold on Alex. You could do it. Just don't give up on me now."
"Mommy, wake up.........wake up.........I didn't mean to........." Alex mumbled in her sleepFour hours later...
Alex's fever still had not gone down and I was beginning to get very worried that she wasn't going to make it. I had to get some more water and ice. I headed down stairs and came back up a few minutes later. I was walking down the hall and saw Alex collapse on the hallway floor.
".........Sora........." She said while looking up at me. I just stood there because her eyes were completely blood shot and they were also black and red. I ran to her side and managed to pick her up and placed her back in bed. "Relax Alex you will get better. Just got to sleep now."
"Sora...I need " She started to get up again but I pushed her back down. "Please...let me "
"Alex listen to me you have a fever and are completely exhausted. You have to stay here."
"No Sora...I...have to " She coughed up some blood.
"Alex you have to rest. In order to save Riku you have to get better, but if you don't you will not see Riku again. Do you understand what I am saying?" I said trying to convince her that she has to get better in order to find him.
"But...I have to. You...don't understand." She said pushing me back.
"ALEX YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DON'T GET BETTER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU DIE YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN SEE RIKU, ME OR KAIRI AGAIN!" I yelled at her.
She just looked at me and tears began to form in her eyes. ".........I.........I.........I..............am sorry." She said.
"Its ok Alex I just don't want to lose you. You mean a lot to everyone and we don't want to see you like this." I then embraced her as she cried. "You just need to sleep."
"I will be in my " She said while she gripped tighter to my shirt. "He...wants me to him." I looked into her eyes and could see the fear that lay in them.
"Who wants you to come to him?"
"Matt." She whispered.
"That son of a bitch."
"Please don't leave me Sora." She didn't let go of my shirt and just kept holding on.
"Alright. You don't have to worry anymore Alex. I am right here and no one will ever hurt you when I am around. You mean everything in the world to me especially Riku. You have to get better for him." I said while beginning to is that?"
"Just one that my mother used to sing me to sleep with, when I couldn't fall asleep."
In about five minutes Alex was peacefully resting and I set her head down and watched over her for the rest of the day.Point of View: Kairi
"Kairi...wake up we are there." Aerith said shaking me a little so I would wake up.
"What...oh ok." I rubbed my eyes and got up from my chair.
Cloud was already waiting outside of the gummi ship. It was raining when I stepped out and the three of us quickly ran for cover. We looked around and it seemed to be deserted. No sign of any living being. Well it was one in the morning so that could have been the reason. The three of us quickly darted for cover making our way to the main square. The main square was very large and a clock tower stood right in the middle.
"I wonder if there is a hotel or any place we could stay that is open at this hour." Aerith said looking for a sign that said vacancy.
"Aerith I thought your friend lives here." Cloud said looking very confused.
"Well I kind of lied when I said I called him." She just smiled and the two of us just fell to the floor.
"So you are telling us that we have no place to stay and we are going to have to be stuck in this rain all night long. You really are nuts." I yelled. Aerith nodded and still had the damn smirk on her face.
I looked around and a young guy was riding our way on a motorcycle. "Who is that?" I pointed to him and both Cloud and Aerith turned.
He was wearing a helmet so we couldn't see his face. I thought he was just going to go straight through us but he immediately stepped on the brakes and got off the bike. Removing his helmet he walked over to us. "Well well well what do we have here?" He said.
"Is that.........Leon?" Aerith said.
"You know you spoil all of the fun." It surely was Leon.
"OH MY GOD WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" Aerith screamed at him. She ran to him and gave him a hug.
I just stared in aw as Leon, Aerith and Cloud welcomed each other back. "Kairi is that you?" Leon said.
"Yup its me." I walked up to him and gave him a hug.
"You have grown a lot and oh by the way a few people are waiting for you at home." He said. "Hop on."
"Leon only two people can fit on it." Cloud said.
"Oh I didn't realize that. We can always walk because I just live up that way." Leon pointed up a street that was mostly up hill.
"So we have to climb that hill to get to your house." I said just loving the thought of walking up a steep hill in the rain.
"Um ya we have to walk up the hill or you can just run up it because it will take you two minutes."
So the four of us walked up the steep hill in the freezing cold rain in the middle of the night. Ya joy I thought to myself. We soon arrived to a three-story house. I entered the house to a dimly light living room.
"Be quiet because Yuffie and our guests are sleeping. I had to sneak out in order to get you guys." Leon said taking off his jacket and placing it in the closet.
"But how did you know it was us?" I asked.
"Well we hardly have any people visit Twilight Town and so I thought it was kind of strange for a gummi ship to arrive at one in the morning. So I decided to check it out and I found you three. And if you want to know what happened to me and Yuffie you are going to have to wait until tomorrow because I am to exhausted to go through all of the details." Leon yawned and motioned for us to follow him.
"Be quiet and I will get all three of you some clothes." Leon returned shortly bring us dry clothes and three cups of tea. "Well I hope that would do until all of your clothes are dry again. Kairi follow me I want to show you something after you have changed."
I quickly got changed and followed Leon up a set of stairs and down the hall. He opened the door to a room and I peered in. The room was pretty dark and I could just make out a figure of two people. One was in the bed and the other was lying next to it. Leon walked over to the person who was lying down and quickly tapped the shoulder.
"What...?" The voice said.
"I have someone I want you to meet." Leon said as he guided the person into the hallway where I was standing. I thought that I was going to die when I saw his face.
"Sora!!" I ran to him and he just stood there in shock.
"Kairi?" He said as I ran into his arms. I was so happy. I could not believe Sora was standing right in front of me. We both were together again and I never ever wanted to leave those arms. I started to cry. "I can't believe it is you Sora." I said nuzzling my head into his chest.
"Kairi I am so happy to see you. I just can't believe that we are together again. I have missed you more than I could say." Sora wrapped his arms around me and gave me a long kiss.
"Sora what happened to you. You are all bruised up and your arm looks like it is broken."
"Ya I know. It is a long story and I will tell you in the morning after you and I get some rest." He said.
"Kairi there is one other person who you still have to see." Leon said as he pointed to the person on the bed.
I walked into the room and looked at the person lying on the bed. I could not believe my eyes it was Alex. She was lying there but she was not herself. Her appearance was completely different and she looked very pale and sick. "Sora what is wrong with her?" I asked.
"Kairi she is almost in her true form. She has been getting weaker and weaker. She has had a fever for nearly five days almost. We have tried everything to make her better but since she is not in her true form then she will die." Sora replied to me.
"But...But how...?" I could not believe it she was going to die if she didn't get into her original form.
"There is no way to help her. All we can do is support her and pray that she gets better soon."
I walked out of the room and once again into Sora's arms. I don't want her to die because she was my best friend. "Why does this have to happen?" I said crying.
"Kairi relax she will be better just have faith. Don't give up on her just yet." Sora hugged me and Leon closed the door to her room and led us to another room on the third floor. "This is where you two can stay. Cloud and Aerith are right next door so don't worry about anything." Leon walked out of the room and I got into bed with Sora next to me.
I was silent the whole time and Sora fell asleep in five minutes. I couldn't fall asleep even though I was very exhausted. I just stared up at the ceiling and thought about what I say and the things Belle had told repeated in my head. I know now that Alex was going to be in big trouble because it looks as though she is turning back into her old self again and if that happened then I would have to kill her. I just didn't want that to happen and I couldn't let it happen.
A few hours went by and I still couldn't sleep. I heard a loud crash. I jumped out of bed and slowly crept my way to the second floor and I saw that Alex was standing in the middle of the hallway with her head bent downward.
"Alex are you ok?" I stepped forward.
"I don't want to do it father." She said. "You can't make me do it."
It was like she was in a trans. She stepped forward and then I saw her eyes they were completely red and blood shot. She stared at me with them and ran at a full sprint towards me. I tried to move aside but she was too fast.
"I'm sorry...I had no chose." She drew out two swords and drove them at me.
"Alex no. Snap out of it please." I quickly ran up the stairs and she followed me. "Sora help me." I screamed.
Sora ran out of the room and stared at Alex and me. "Kairi hold on." Sora drew out his keyblade and charged at Alex. She did a back flip.
"HELL'S DARKNESS." She cried and her swords were all black. She turned around and drove them into the floor. The whole room was black and I felt the darkness engulfing me. I felt like I was going to pass out when a light surrounded me. I stood up and soon the room was back to normal. Sora lay on the floor also with a light surrounding him. He got up and rubbed his head. I looked around for Alex but she had disappeared.
Sorry that the chapter was so long. Well I wonder what will happen next. Please review and tell me what you think should happen next. Ok well I am out of here. (
