Chapter 13-Fallen Angel
Point of View: Alex
"Where am I?" I opened my eyes and questioned myself of where I was. My vision a bit hazy but adjusted after a few moments. I looked around and found myself lying in a damp and dark alleyway.
It was raining, heavily, like needles piercing my skin. I was as white as a ghost. My hands were ice cold and I found myself covered in bruises and cuts. The shirt I was wearing was cut up and my pants were ripped up to my knees. I sat up and grabbed the wall for support, so I could get to my feet. My body ached and every inch of it seemed to hurt as I took one step. I had stumbled out of the alleyway and towards the main street. No one was out and everything was dark. All of the signs were turned off and it seemed to be like a ghost town.
I could not think straight and I felt dizzy with every step I took. I fell to the cobblestone floor of the street. A person caught me. I looked up but my sight went bleary and the face began to fade away. I tried to regain my vision. "I…cough…" I still couldn't see, but I found strength to struggle against the person's grip. "Let…cough…me go…" I stared wide-eyed as I realized who my capturer/savior was… Riku. My struggling stopped on it's own accord as I continued to stare up at his face. He was staring down at me with his freakishly green eyes (A/N: That is for you Rachel. LOL!) (E/N: YAYAYAYAYA 3). A smile crossed his face as I tried to speak.
"I…I…cough cough…can't…" He said something but I didn't comprehend what he was saying. My vision totally gave away and that was when I fell unconscious.
Point of View: KairiOur long search had once again come up empty. We could not find Alex anywhere and Sora and I were worried beyond belief. We had searched the entire town from top to bottom. Nothing. No clues, no traces, no help at all to where we might find Alex. Aerith, Cloud, Leon and Yuffie were worried as well, but not as much as me. Not sleeping for two days can do that to a person.
I couldn't understand why she had come after me. I sat in my room, arms wrapped around my legs, and plotted out the reasons for why she would. I recalled the incident many times and still couldn't figure out why she would attack us.
FlashbackA 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 trance. 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 a large black sword that had the heartless symbol engraved on it and drove it 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 sword went all black. She turned around and drove it 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.
It hit me then. She had said something about her father. Had he really been controlling her? It couldn't be possible because her father is dead. Sora came into the room and sat next to me.
"Kairi we will find her. You need to relax and get some sleep, because you look like you need it."
"I will try. Sora I just can't seem to get what she did out of my head. I just keep replaying it over and over again. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen." I said.
"Nothing is going to happen. We're all are going to be fine all you have to do is get some sleep and you will feel better in the morning." Sora said. "We can go look again when you get some rest." With his final words he kissed me on the cheek and left the room. My eyelids became heavy, as the grip around my legs fell away. I felt my body fall towards the bed. I was out like a light.
Point of View: Alex"Look what we have here." A voice said. I opened my eyes and soon recognized where I was. The voice belonged to the one person who I hated the most, Ansem. "I see that you had a decent sleep." My vision focused and I saw his face just a few inches above mine.
I was lying in a bed. It had black silk bedding and it was a canopy bed with black cloth draping off from the sides. The room was dark with the exception of a stain glass window, which was letting in a faded light. It was once my room when I lived her as a young child.
I stared up at him with a look of pure evil and hatred. "You cough son of a bitch cough. I am not cough going to stay here cough." I said. "You have no right cough keeping me here."
"Well let's just see and there is no need for that type of language here darling." Ansem said as he picked up my chin in his hand. "By the way someone is here to see you." With a flick of his hand a cloaked person appeared. The person was chained up and was hanging in mid-air. Ansem who had walked over to him pulled off the hood and I just stared in complete amazement. "Riku!!" I said.
He stared down at me and a warm smile crossed his face. "I told you I would see you again very soon." He just stared at me smiling. I struggled out of bed and ran to him no matter how much I was in pain. I just ignored it and kept moving and I could feel myself getting very tired. "I am cough coming." Just as I reached him I dropped to the ground. I coughed and felt the warm substance beginning hacked out of my throat. The blood dripped on the floor. The strength in my arms began it give away. I lay there trying to pull all my strength together so I could reach him. "ALEX…NO HOLD ON!" Riku yelled at me. He struggled to get out of the chains and managed to break free.
Ansem watched me as I struggled to gather myself. Riku was finally free of the chains and ran over to me. "ALEX HOLD ON!" I stared up at him and felt my breath shorten and my chest hurt with a sharp pain, which caused me to cough up more blood. I spat it out, Riku finally made it to me and he cradled my body in his arms.
"It's all right you just have to hold on. You can't leave me now. I know you could do it and all you have to do is fight it. I love you." Riku cried to me as tears streamed down his cheeks. I looked at his eyes. I had waited for this moment for many weeks since I have been apart from him.
"Well what a touching reunion, but is about to be cut short my dear." Ansem sent chains towards Riku and I. They chained me up but Riku dodged them, but Ansem then surrounded Riku with a darkness ball and he was trapped inside of it as I dangled helpless by my arms and feet. My energy spent as pain still wracked my body.
"Alex I have a deal for you. I will free Riku if you transform yourself to your true self that has been shrouded by darkness. But if you will die… as will Riku." I had a choice to make and couldn't decide. I wanted Riku free, but I didn't want things to go back to the way things were. How could I do this without getting someone hurt. I am only making things worse. I couldn't do it. I had to stop him for once and for all and I had made my final decision.
"You wanted me in my true form then here it is." It was then I unleashed all of the powers within. Me knowing that I had no control I took that risk anyway in order save the one I love, I had to. A black glow surrounded me and I felt the anger and hatred I had in my heart fuel my sudden rage. "Enough is enough you are going to die." I screamed at him. I felt my body strengthen and my power return to me.
A pure black steel sword materialized right in front of me. It had a large blade (A/N: It is like Cloud's sword except a little smaller.), which had engravings on it and a heartless symbol was at the very tip of the blade. It hovered in front of me as I broke free of the chains, which no longer held me as a prisoner.
I dropped to the floor and Ansem stared at me and a sudden smirk tugged on his lips. "You have finally done it. How does it feel to be back?" My sword fell heavy in my hands and I tightened my grip of it. "You look just like you did many years ago. When you were in complete and utter chaos." Ansem said to me.
I stared down at my hands and angled the sword to where I could see my reflection in it. The reflection that stared back was completely different. I was wearing a black dress that went off the shoulders but had a garment that went up to my neck and a corset. The dress was ragged and split in the middle at the legs and a silky black undergarment were seen just like the neck high one. Long gloves came to my fingers from the elbow. They wrapped around my arms and had strings hang down from it and entangled my fingers. I looked down at my feet and had on flat ballet like shoes that wrapped up my ankles to my knees with thick black ribbon lace.
I could not believe my appearance and if that weren't enough my hair was completely raven color and was down to my knees but it was up in a ponytail. It was straight with the exception of a few wavy sections.
A heartless necklace hung from my neck. I was speechless. I was back to my old self and felt the sudden rush of darkness, power and hatred enter my heart. "You have done very well into almost restoring yourself back to your true form. There is one thing missing." Ansem came towards me and I didn't move. I looked up at him and he touched my forehead and a rose shaped circle formed.
A wave of darkness and evil soared through my body and my heart hurt. I grabbed my chest and a burning sensation came from it. I dropped my sword and fell to the floor. Ansem looked down at me. "That is what you get for trying to trick me. Say your goodbye for she is in her final few moments of life." I hunched over and say blood drip to the floor from my mouth. Riku was set free and ran as fast as he could towards me and held me in his arms. He rocked me back and forth as he cried. My chest hurt so much and I could barely breathe and tears rolled down from my eyes as the pain only worsened with every engulf of breathe I took. My heart was speeding up and I then knew I was dieing.
"Alex you can't leave me like this. I love you so much. Without you I won't be able to live. When you fade away so will I and I will suffer just like you. Please hold on." He put his hand up to my face and I stared into his eyes and could see the hurt and sorrow. I reached up to his face and caressed his cheek. As tears poured down I smiled at him. "…………I……………cough…………will always…………love………………you." I managed to say and I felt my body tense up and I stopped breathing and………………………………………………………………………………………
