Chapter 3 – Take Anything That Belongs to Me
Sora was leaning on the front door to Kairi's house. Although he was tired and sleepy, he managed to stay awake. A few seconds later, his eyes began to droop. Then there was a sudden thump on the window from inside the house. It startled him and got him back to his senses.
'Somebody is in Kairi's house!' he thought. 'It has to be the thief or killer!' He tried for the knob, but the door was locked.
'Of course! Kairi locked it! What should I do to get in now!'
-- -- --
"Darn!" the man said from under his breath. He was a large, strong man dressed in black. His biceps were huge because of all the time he spent in the weight room. His enormous, steel club accidentally touched the window, and just now he heard the sound of the knob wriggling to get turned. He knew that someone was out there and was trying to get in.
'I could go now,' the man thought. 'No. I did that last time. I have to get something worth taking before I leave from this house.' With that in mind, the man raced up the stairs swiftly without a sound and headed towards the closest room.
-- ----
'Oh, no! What should I do!' Sora was panicking. Then something hit him.
'Of course! The extra key!' Kairi always had an extra key in front of the house in case she forgot to bring out the key to her house. She only told Sora and Riku about it and where it was in case she wasn't home and if they wanted to get into her house for any reasons at all.
Sora looked around and saw a small area of soil on the lawn. It was a little conspicuous, so he dug up the area. Underneath all the dirt was the spare key. Sora picked it up and went back to the door. He pushed the key in, turned it, twisted the knob, and swung open the door.
'Yes! The key worked. Now to save Kairi.'
-- -- --
'Hmmm.' The man was searching intently through the room. Before the man got any further, he heard footsteps starting up the stairs.
'No! The person got in!' The man desperately looked for a place to hide, but it was too dark. He then remembered the bathroom that he passed when entering the room.
'That's it!' The man dashed out the room, made an immediate right turn into the bathroom, and locked the door quietly.
-- -- --
'I better get to Kairi's room, whether that killer is in there or not,' Sora thought as he ran up the stairs. When he got to her room, he noticed that the door was open.
'Hmm. Kairi always closes her bedroom door when she's in the room. That could only mean that, one, the thief has already been here, or two, he's in there right now. Only one way to find out.' Sora walked into the room carefully, looking back and forth through the dark with a little light shining through a window.
'Looks like nobody's here,' he concluded. A second later, he was struck hard on the back of his right shoulder, causing him to fall forward and groan in agony. Sora rolled over, holding his right shoulder with his other arm and supporting his upper body up with his left elbow to look at the person who attacked him. Sora backed up for every step the man took, causing his shoulder to hurt more. When his head touched two walls, he knew that he had been cornered.
'Ugh,' Sora moaned. 'I can't use my right arm anymore. Well, I still have my left one.' He forced himself up and attempted to strike the man with his left arm, but failed. The man easily pushed him back down against the wall with one arm.
"You," the man said, pointing his steel weapon at Sora. "You are now a potential threat. I must eliminate you." The man moved his club over his shoulder and prepared to swing. Just them, a girl jumped in front of Sora, facing the man. She was on her knees.
"Please don't hurt him," she pleaded. The man stopped his club.
Sora recognized the girl's voice and the red of her hair from the thin light. "Kairi?"
Kairi didn't answer. She had already awoken when the man had entered her room. She was hoping that if she stayed under her bed covers, the man would just take what he wanted and leave with nobody hurt. Then she could immediately call the police before the man got too far, but that didn't happen. Now somebody she loved was involved and the man wanted to kill him.
"Please, take anything that belongs to me. I don't care. Just don't harm him."
The man looked at the girl and growled. "You are also a potential threat!" he shouted. "Out of my way!" The man struck a blow on the side of Kairi's head and she fell limp on the ground. The carpet was quickly covered by blood from Kairi's head.
"Kairi!" Sora yelled, trying to stand up to get to Kairi's side.
"Get down, Sora!" a voice called. Sora fell back down and the man missed his swing, tumbling forward. A figure ran and tackled the man from the back, causing the man to hit the wall and become unconscious. Sora ran over to Kairi as the figure tied the man up.
"Kairi! Kiari!" Sora shouted while shaking her arm. "Wake up!"
"Let's get you two to the hospital," the figure said, walking over to them. Sora looked up at the figure. The person's face appeared in the thin light from the window.
"Riku!" Sora exclaimed. "How did you know—"
"I told you. I have a sixth sense. Now let's get both of you to the hospital."
End of Chapter 3
Okay. That's chapter 3. If anybody was wondering, the killer is nobody in particular from the the Kingdom Hearts series. He's just another random guy on the island that I made up. Remember, if there is anything that I need to fix or improve on, please tell me. Other than that, I hope that you enjoyed chapter 3!
