Together Again
"I have to find Sean and Amoura! God only knows what happened to them!" Kaylie yelled. She forced herself to go faster. "What if I am too late? What if they're hurt or worse…" She forced those thoughts out of her head and just concentrated on pushing herself to go faster.
Meanwhile…
"Why don't you just give up Sean? You know you're not going to win, and you know it," Jane was taunting him. But Sean wasn't letting her get to him.
"No way!" Sean yelled. He swung his weapon at Jane and hit her full on. The force was so great, Jane collapsed and swore.
"How dare you! You are going to pay for that!" She yelled.
"Figures," Sean began, "all talk and no action. I am thoroughly disappointed in you." Jane got up but fell right back down. She shook her head n disbelief.
"How, could a mere boy destroy me?" then, in a flash, she was gone.
"Great, she's gone. Now I have to get to Kaylie." He turned back to the path he and Amoura had come. Without further thought, he took off.
Meanwhile…
"Somebody help me!" Amoura screamed at the top of her lungs. Every heartless she destroyed, basically came back. There were just too many. She shoved off one that had latched onto her leg, and flung the one that had attached itself to her leg at a nearby tree.
'I don't know how Sean and Kaylie are doing,' Amoura thought bitterly, 'but I hope they are managing better than I. What am I supposed to do? Sean asked me to find Kaylie and help her. If she gets hurt…I'll never forgive myself. I have done a lot of bad things in the past, but never have actually felt guilty.'
As more ganged up on her, she began to slow down. Little by little, the heartless was taking hold of the upper hand.
'Please…please let someone find me.' Amoura thought. Then, nothing short of a miracle happened. Kaylie came running toward her; she was going faster then ever. Amoura had never in her life seen someone run so fast. In a flash the heartless were off her and she was standing face to face with Kaylie.
"Amoura!" Kaylie yelled. She gave Amoura the biggest hug, almost knocking her over. "I am so glad you are okay! A heartless attacked me that looked exactly like Tarzan. I was afraid that they had kidnapped you or something! Wait a minute," Kaylie said, stopping to take in a breath and examine her surroundings a little better, "where is Sean?"
"He is fighting Jane. Not only is their an evil Tarzan, but there is also a heartless Jane as well," Amoura explained.
Kaylie shook her head in disbelief. 'How could I let things get so out of hand?'
"All right, let's finish off these heartless then we will go find Sean," Kaylie ordered. Amoura shook her head in agreement and they ran together at a fast pace to the camp where Sean was supposed to be at.
After running for awhile and not having any problems with the heartless, they stopped to take a break. Only then did Amoura notice Kaylie's wounds. She gapped forced Kaylie to sit down.
"Amoura, what's wrong?" Kaylie asked.
"Look at your shoulder! I am surprised that you aren't dead yet!"
"Oh yeah…" Kaylie said recalling what happened. Since she did not feel the pain, she forgot all about herself. "Tarzan did that. But don't worry, the plants have taken away the pain….at least for now."
"What?" asked Amoura in disbelief. "Never mind. We will fix this first then you can talk. For now, all I want you to do is to rest. Sean is going to kill me when he finds out what happened to you…"
"For the millionth time, Amoura, I am-"
"KAYLIE!"
"Huh?" Kaylie asked, looking up to see who had called her name. It was Sean. And boy did he look happy to see her. "Sean? Are you okay!" Kaylie asked worriedly.
"I'm fine!" Sean said, enveloping Kaylie giant bear hug. "But you…you look terrible! What happened to you!" Sean voice grew with alarm.
"It's the plants," Kaylie began, but stopped. "Never mind. Let's just get back to camp and fast. I don't know how long it's going to be before I feel my wounds again." When Kaylie saw Sean begging an argument, she continued. "I don't feel any pain right now."
"Oh. Then let's get back and quick." Sean ordered.
"Just a minute," Kaylie said.
'Are you their, my friends? How long are you going to hold my pain?' Kaylie thought. She was hoping the plants would answer. She didn't feel like they should carry her burdens. No matter what they thought their duty was.
We are okay right now. We cannot hold the pain much longer. We are sorry.
'It's okay. Please, give it back now. I know you feel it's your duty to protect you, but I feel like it is my duty to protect you as well. My friends are with me now. I'll be fine.'
Are you sure?
'Positive.' Kaylie confirmed.
As you say, young master.
'Thank you.'
You are welcome.
Then, as if on cue, all her pain came back. Kaylie clenched her shoulder and fell and the ground. The pain was unbearable. How the plants were able to withstand it was beyond her knowledge.
"Kaylie!" Sean yelled when he noticed Kaylie was on the ground. He ran over to her and gently picked her up. "Kaylie, are you okay?" to Kaylie, Sean's voice sounded so far and yet, at the same time, so close. Despite her pain, she answered him, just so he wouldn't worry himself to death.
"I'll be fine. Just hold me. Please?" Kaylie whispered. Then everything before her vanished and was replaced by a world of darkness.
Well… what did you think? Sorry it took so long. As I have said many times before, I have been really bust lately. I hope to hear from you what world they should travel to next. If you have any ideas, opinions, or suggestions, please notify me. Well I am also sorry this chapter was so short. I will try my best to make them longer.
