Rachel sat up in bed, gasping for air, and soaked in sweat. She had kicked off the covers, and proceeded to make her bed. This nightmare and similar ones had plaged her for a long time now. Skipping breakfast as usual, she went straight to her computer.
'Yes', she thought. 'Nick is on'
"Hiya!" She IMed
"Hey" Was the reply. "OMG guess wat"
"What?"
"We can meet again"
"In real life? Really? How?" Her mind raced. She could see Nick again? She hadn't seen him since they moved, but they stayed in touch. He had been her best freind. "What about Liz?" Liz was her other best freind before. Unknowinglyto Nick, the three of them had their own personal love triangle. Rachel loved Nick, He loved Liz, and Liz didn't know who she loved.
A cow mooing sound disturbed her. That was her IM beeping noise. "she can't..."
"Are you sorry?"
"Not really. I don't think she's the one for me"
"Oh, really? Then who is 'the right one for you'" Could it be her? She couldn't beleive it, Nick didn't like Liz! She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, her heart soared. ' C'mon, say it! Say it, say it say it! All you have to do is type Y-O-U! Please, c'mon just say it!'
"I don't know yet"
"o" She dropped dead right there. It was like coaching through admitting he liked Liz all over again. She felt like her heart was being ripped out.
"Wanna hear my brilliant plan?"
"Sure" Even if he didn't like her, she loved him. She wanted nothing more than for him to like her back. Seeing him would be fantastic.
"We'll meet at the Destiny Island Sanctuary. Say we're revisiting our ancestors! They won't say no to that!"
"Great plan! When?"
How about Now? How about...in 2 Hours?" Rachel was the queen of playing hard to get. Even if he wasn't trying to get her, it was fun to pretend.
"KK See you then" He signed off right there, not even saying bi.
Rachel walked to her closet and sighed. Nothing was right! All of her clothes were stupid. She would look like an idiot, and he would never like her! She looked through tossing unworthy clothes behind her randomly, and things that might not look entirly retarded on the bed.
After her made closet emptying, she glanced to the bed. She had narrowed it down to her favrite white miniskirt. It was pleated and all flipped, she loved it. Tight Denim jeans, ripped on the knees and hem. And three shirts. One was a cotton pink halter, the other a plain black tube top. and a purple shoulder less.
After much hair pulling she chose her favorite skirt, and paired it with the black tube top. She wore a denim minijacket over that, and settled for some strappy platforms. She tugged the brush through her long hair until it was free, and did up her eyes with mascara and eyeliner. Just some clear cherry flavored lipgloss and she was out the door.
She met her mom in the garden. "where are you going?"
"The Destiny Isles Sanctuary. Nicks gonna be there, so I'll probably be a while."
"If you do anything that I wouldn't approve of, I will know." She tapped a charm around her neck. "You know I will"
Rachel rolled her eyes. "yeah, yeah. Love Ya!"
She ran out the gate, before her mother could set some new rule.
She had plenty of time to get there, but she wasn't taking her time. She ran to the docks, and untied her small boat. She handed a twenty to the man who rowed them. "i need to get to the Destiny Isles Sanctuary. Now."
"eh, miss, the boat only costs-"
"Now. If I'm late, I'll take the twenty back"
The man rowed incredibly fast if you knew how to make him. He had her to the small Island, a break off of one of the Destiny Isles, in only a few moments. she climbed off the boat as fast as possible, and ran to the lobby, gracefully taking a seat.
Even though she was an hour early, Nick walked in moments after. It seemed as though he spent the male equivelent of time she had on his looks. He wore a black tee shirt and loose jeans. Balck and blue vans. His dark brown hair was in spiky bangs, hanging down in his face. She thought he could hear her heart beating in her heart, because he looked right at her, smiling.
"Hey Rach!" He walked over, and she stood up. Both of them had grwon a bit since the last time they saw eachother,4 years ago. Now he stood around two inches taller than her. His face had cleared up, too. He stood a little closer to her than was nessacary. She could feel his breath on her face, peppermint scented."C'mon Let's go!"
He turned, and headed into one of the chambers of the Sanctuary.
"Hey wait up!" she had missed her chance at making a move. 'who am I kidding? That wasn't a chance for a move...I saved my self some embarrassment'
She ran after him, into the Shimomura Chamber. That was where her own ancestors, Sora and Kairi Shimomura, resided. Encased in ice. Noone could Break the ice in any of the chambers, and it would be stupid to try. Doing so would most likely breakl the person trapped inside.
Many methods had been used in an attempt to free the prisoners, but all had failed. It would take a large positive force of magic to save them.
All of those who were frozen on Destiny Islands were Kept here. Two of them originated from Twilight Town, Roxas and Namine. That is the Sanctuary they wouldf have gone to, but luckily records were found that indicated Roxas and Namine had been wed, and were Living, on the Destiny Islands.
Other Documents were found as well, indicating that the deep freeze was Namine's fault. Because of this, Twiligth Town had been glad to give up her and Roxas. Liz was thir descendent, and insisted that it wasn't so. A family airloom of hers proved it, but like all of the other descendents, her and her family refused to allow the public to see it. It was bad luck according to tradition.
She paused in front of her ancestors, waiting for a sign. 'Does he like me? Should I tell him how I feel? What did you Do? She asked siletly. A glimmer in the ice caught her eye.
A small charm hung from a belt that Kairi wore. It was shaped like a star, and was a bright purple. The small star seemed to be five shells sewn together.
"That's a thalassa charm."
"huh?" She turned to see nick standing next to her.
"That thing your staring at. It's a thalassa charm."
"How do you know?" How did he know? She hadn't even noticed it before.
"Can't remember"
He kept his face unreadable, but she knew he was lying. He was hiding something from her.
"Liar"
"What!" It always surprised him when she knew that he was lying, and stilol did, apparently. "Am not!"
"Whatever, c'mon, let's go into the next one." She walked away, into the Akiyama chamber. This was where Nick's ancestors, Riku and Selphie, were. She scanned them closely, determined to find something he had missed.
There was something under Riku's shirt. It was small, but it was there. She could see it's outline. Rachel had to find out what it was.
"What was up with that?"
"Nothing" If he was gonna lie to her, she would lie right back.
"Now your the liar"
"And? What's your point? If you can do it surely I can."She could see the hurt on his face, and instantly softened. "Nick, I'm sorry, I-"
He turned from her "No, no, it's fine. I'm fine."
"Really, I'm sorry!"
"It's fine, really"
She put a hand on his shoulder, and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Sure?"
He turned and smiled. "Yeah, it's cool"
She smiled back, "Great"
"Enought of this mushy stuff! On with the tour! Let's go see liz's ancestors!"
He ran into the next chamber, Nemura. This was the oddest chamber, because Namine and Roxas were the only two who weren't standing, arms by their sides, with there eyes closed.
Namine appeared to be midspell, and people swear that their a rainbowy glimmer around her hands. If you see it it's supposed to be good luck. Rachel thought it was funny, because that was part of the reason people thought she was the cause of the deep freeze. They believe it was a spell gone wrong.
Roxas had been in front of her when they were found. There are a couple of red splotches in the ice, and you can see some cuts on his legs and arms. He's holding his Keyblade, ready to strike. People beleive that he was frozen like this because he had been right next to her. Rachel doubted it, as did nick and obviously Liz.
Nick came up next to her. "So...If She didn't cast the spell who did?"
"I don't know" She had an idea. After much research, she had discovered that the residents of Destiny Isles had left and gone off to other worlds. One of them, The World That Never Was, had been incredibly hard to get information on. After traveling through a little known portal to the remnents of Castle Oblivion, she discovered some files. In The World That Never Was there had been a Castle That Never Was. Inside, thirteen mystirious people had taken residence. She believed it was one of them who had caused it.
"C'mon, you spent the past 4 years researching, and you haven't a clue? You must suck at research!"
"Hey!"she said, punching him in the arm lightly. "I'm good at researching! Better than you!"
"Oh, yeah? Well I don't see any discoveries!"
"Well...I have a hunch..."
"Oh?"
She felt very cold suddenly. The chambers were kept at a freezing temperature, and sometimes Rachel wondered if hey were trying to make sure the ancestors STAYED frozen.
"I'll tell you later. Let's get out of here for now"
"awww...c'mon, the suspense is killing me!" But he was already heading out the door.
