Lured into Darkness
Chapter 7: Lured into Darkness
Riku and Kairi
"Riku, you have to kill Sora! Whether its going to break Kairi's heart or not.. It doesn't matter…" Mickey barked.
Riku had an expressionless look on his face as Kairi barged in the shack.
"What's wrong?" she added cheerfully, coming towards Riku.
She looked around wildly, her face a picture of worry.
"Riku?" she asked again looking at there, pale ,nervous faces.
"Nothing is wrong," Riku laughed nervously looking over at Kairi.
"Its getting late! Come on lets go to bed!" Kairi added, as she carefully went up stairs.
Riku looked back at Mickey's pale face, so without saying anything he made a hasty retreat over to where Kairi was heading.
"Well, I can see tomorrow morning in the gummi ship." Mickey said, putting a fake smile on his face.
"Where are you going?" Kairi asked putting her hands on her hips.
"Kairi, we have to talk." Mickey said looking towards the ground.
"Um-well, not exactly, what he means is, I'm leaving for with the king ..to help him. You see, the heartless are back and we need to stop them from spreading to the other worlds." Riku cut Mickey off in a panicky tone.
Kairi cringed at the word heartless, as she listened to Riku talk.
"Okay" she whispered, with a upset look plastered on her face.
"Don't worry about it Kairi." Riku said in a hopeful tone.
Kairi looked over her shoulder, at Riku and smiled.

Sora
Sora had just seen his two best friends, die, killed by him.
Donald and Goofy lay on the grass motionless.
He walked across the bridge quickly getting near the heartless.
"Lets go." he snapped grabbing his keyblade from the ground.
"Wait!" the heartless hissed.
"You must be even more powerful, and now that we know you are one of us, we can trust you!" the heartless squirmed around Sora, and they surrounded him in a purple flare.
Sora started to look at everything, it was blurry.
"Hey, what are you doing?" his voice sneered.
Suddenly, it seemed that no sound was piercing through Sora, he couldn't see anything either.
"Let's take him out of here!" the voices hissed.
"He should rest!" the heartless shouted.
The heartless had a disscusion with eachother as Sora rested.
"He was perfect, and now we can all have a heart." they hissed.
"Yes..if his eyes turn red, he is ours now," a hearltess hissed.
"He thinks we are his friends." they whispered half laughing.
"What does it mean if his eyes turn a different color?" one of the heartless asked in a puzzled tone.
"We are trying to control him with our powers, but he is hard, he has a strong heart, but once he changes the color of his eyes, his anger will fill him up, eventually giving his heart to the dark, he won't be able to control his light. He won't be able to control himself. But, we will..." they all laughed at the comment.
"We can kill his friends with his dark form. He won't be able to control himself, whether he wants to kill or not." they laughed.
"I hope it works, Sora has a very strong heart..." the heartless hissed.
----------------------------------------------------------
Sora woke up by the hissing voice of the heartless surrounding him. He jumped up with a fairly audible shout at the sight of all the yellow eyes staring at him.
Calming down a bit, he reached for his head feeling lightheaded, and pulled his hand through his face, and his eyes widen.
He looked at them sharply with a look of horror on his face.
He rubbed his face, feeling a nose, ears, and of course his messy hair.
"I'm a human again?" he said slightly cheery and horrified.
The heartless all gave a silvery little laugh. Sora stared back at them he blinked and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, at each of the laughing heartless.
"You can be a heartless with us! You can protect us, and your stronger as a human!" they hissed.
"Thanks…." he laughed nervously putting a hand in his hair.
Sora yawned and dropped onto his backside on the comfy bed that lay behind him.
Wait, where am I?
He staggered up from the bed in a look of confusion in his face again.
"Where are we?" he asked in a fast, scared voice.
"Hollow Bastion, you are safe Sora!" the heartless perked up half laughing.
He gentle flopped back to the bed, getting comfortable and thinking.
"What am I supposed to do, I mean…as a "heartless" Sora hissed looking back at the yellow eyed creatures.
The creatures looked at him in a blank expression on their faces.
"We must kill ,so one day, we have to get hearts, to be able to live."
Sora smiled kindly at all the heartless.
"Riku, I'll kill him for this…. I promise you! He has to pay for what he's done to you." Sora snapped.
"Yes, thank you master!" they all hissed getting closer to Sora.
"We made something to eat for you, lets go!" the heartless tugged on Sora's arm getting him up.
Sora staggered over to the table.. He gave a painful grunt and sat heavily, allowing his head to smack against table.
The heartless looked puzzled at him..
"I don't think I can do it. Kill Riku, but I promise I'll die trying…" he stuttered through his words.
"Yes you can you can give us all hearts!" they all hissed.
"He's strong and he's always better than me at everything!" Sora grunted.
"We have to go as soon as we can!" the heartless hissed at Sora.
"To Destiny Islands?" Sora jumped in surprise.
"Yes."
"Why?" Sora sniffed.
"Because he will be looking for you, and if we hurry we could kill him when he least expects it." they hissed.
"Alright." Sora sighed looking towards the ground.
Riku…I'm going to kill you for what you did to me..
"Then, when should we go?" Sora asked in a shaky voice.
"Right now Sora! Before anyone catches we are here!" they all said nervously.
"What-What about Kairi?" Sora asked, his eyes widen.
"We must get rid of her as well." they all said gleefully.
Sora summoned the key blade to his hands and sighed.
I can't kill Kairi….
Sora glanced back at the heartless.
"You still have a heart Sora, but your like us, that's what makes you great, and your friends, they don't even care what you are." they all hissed.
"Right." he agreed.
"Lets go find Riku." Sora added.
He clutched his keyblade tightly and hurried out of the room.
"There is a ship, over here!" the heartless whispered.
Sora hesitated, but made a hasty retreat towards the heartless.
"Over here!" they whispered, rushing past the buildings
Sora was running out of breath, when they arrived at the ship.
"To Destiny islands." they hissed.
Sora flopped to his back and had an unsure smile on his face.
They are right Kairi and Riku never liked me anyways…The heartless are right..
"Sora are you okay?" the heartless all hissed in giggles looking at him.
He got up his feet and smiled.
The heartless surrounded Sora looking at him with wide eyes.
Sora narrowed his eyes towards the ship's window.
An aura of lightning was near the ship. The Heartless hissed even louder. They weren't pleased by the threat.
"Some one is attacking!" they hissed.
Sora grabbed his keyblade looking towards the islands nearby.
"Destiny islands." he whispered aloud looking towards the ocean.
Sora clutched his keyblade tighter as they approached the islands.
"Riku…." Sora hissed darkly looking at the window.
Sora's eyes immediately shot open and focused on the islands outside. His eyes were a soft tawny color.
"Get ready!" the heartless hissed, Sora felt a loud clash on the landing, he bounced up clutching his keyblade tightly. Sora felt terrified, looking at Riku again after years, he felt a horrible sensation like his insides were melting. When the ship stopped, Sora felt beyond horrified looking at the small shack Riku and Kairi used to live in.
"Sora, lets go." the heartless hissed tugging on Sora's sleeve.
"Look!" one of the heartless pointed to Sora's red eyes. They all giggled tugging Sora out of the ship.
Sora bounced out of the ship nervously, shaking so much he felt he was going to fall.
A figure appeared out of the shack with another small cloaked figure.
Sora's eyes were flaming red looking straight at the two figures coming out.
The heartless were in front of him guarding their "master"
I don't think I could do this….
Sora glanced over at the heartless, his eyes burning red.
"We did it." the heartless hissed grabbing Sora's arm.
Sora glanced over in surprise at the heartless laughing and giggling joyously.
"What?" Sora hissed.
They all laughed and hissed as the two figures headed towards him.
Sora felt confused of the heartless giggling at him..
"You go in him." the heartless hissed pointing to antoher heartless.
"Yes.." he said getting closer to Sora.
Sora felt a horrible sensation in him as the hearltess clutched him from all sides.
What did they do to me...
He was distracted by a loud voice ahead of him.
"Sora?" a loud voice echoed in Sora's ear as the figure moved closer to him.
"R-Riku.." Sora hissed grabbing his keyblade tighter.
Sora didn't feel like himself as the heartless surrouneded him.
"You can't control now Sora, your heart belongs to us!" they laughed, a voice echoing in his head.
No..whats happening...My head. What?
There he was, right in front of Sora, Riku and Mickey. Sora felt a tingly sensation of anger in his head, but not his anger.
The heartless were controling him..to kill Riku.
Stop..get off of me... Sora clutched his head in confusion.
The figure got closer to Sora and the heartless, it was Riku.
Riku no...I don't want to kill him...I won't kill him...!
