Ch.3
Sora was on the island with Riku, his dad had taken him and Riku there and then went of to go lay around and relax. Currently he and Riku were racing each other. Riku of course was a running faster than Sora was, though Sora was trying his hardest to keep up.
After chasing each other around Sora stopped and sat down on the shoreline, taking deep breaths. "I think I beat you that time Riku!"
"Sure you did," Riku chuckled as he sat down next to Sora.
"I did too beat you!" Sora childishly retorted. "I finally beat you today!"
Ventus chuckled, 'I hate to say it but it looks to me you were just a split second behind.'
Sora pouted as he stared down at the sand, "Awww but Veeeeen! You're supposed to be on my side!"
Riku looked at Sora quizzically, "Sora? You've mentioned this 'Ven' before...are you sure you aren't making him up?"
Sora tensed up, forming his hands into fists. He averted his eyes away from Riku's, "No...I'm not. Ven is real...it's just that..." Sora trailed off.
"What do you mean?" Riku asked, tilting his head to the side.
"He is real! I may only be able to hear him in my head, but I know he is real!" Sora suddenly shouted, turning back to look at Riku. His eyes wide and worrisome, "You...You believe me right? You don't think I am weird... do you?"
Riku looked at his friend for a moment before he smiled, "If you say he is real, then I believe you. You may be weird, but that's what makes you… well you. It's a good weird." Riku said in cheerful tone.
Sora beamed happily and threw his arms around Riku and knocks him down onto the sand, "Thank you! Thank you so much" Sora cried out happily glad that Riku believed him.
Riku smiled again as he returned the hug, "You're welcome."
Inside of Sora's heart Ventus was smiling to himself.
"But Sora," Riku said as the boys sat up after their hug, "Do you even know where Ven came from? And why he is in your head?"
"Remember when you told me that maybe someone was crying and that I should open my heart and listen?"
"That was like…" Riku paused as he thought for a moment, "A few...months ago right?"
"Yeah… when I did Ventus was the one who came, and I helped him… and now he's helping me!" Sora said with a bright grin.
"So you did actually help someone, that's just like you," Riku replied as he smiled again.
'See, there was nothing to worry about…' Ventus spoke gently.
Sora smiled at both Riku and Ven's words, happy that there were people who liked him. "Thanks again."
"If you said you opened your heart and listened to who was out there, does that mean Ven is from the outside world?"
"I don't know… I never asked him."
Ventus paused briefly he had a faint memory of someone speaking… something about not revealing the existence of other worlds to people who didn't know, but this was Sora, he just couldn't lie to the boy… 'Yes, I am from another world'
Sora repeated this to Riku. "Yeah, he says he is."
"Can he tell you anything about the world? What's it like?" Riku asked, getting more curious.
Ventus frowned trying to remember what it was like, 'I'm sorry, I can't really remember much, bits and pieces… the feeling of excitement and wonder mostly.'
"Aw you don't remember Ven? That's sad…" Sora said as he sighed a little.
'It's fine, I will remember one day, and when I do… I promise I'll tell you all about it.'
"Okay! Thanks Ven," Sora replied.
"What did he say?" Riku asked.
"He said he'll tell me when he remembers. I hope you remember soon Ven," Sora said as he smiled.
Sora was at the park playing while waiting for Riku to finish up school. He was hiding underneath a tree, Riku told him to wait for him here… but, sometimes Rin would find him.
Rin was a bully, that's what Ventus called him, he was always insulting him and calling him crazy.
It hurt.
It hurt and Sora didn't know what to do.
Sora fell backwards and winced in pain as Rin shoved him to the ground. "Stay away from me," Rin grumbled. "I said it before you're crazy, so I don't want to talk to you."
"But I didn't even come near you!"
"Still you are weird! Always talking to yourself. You're not normal. You're such a freak!"
Sora flinched backwards his heart twinging in pain.
Rin and his friends left Sora, they left him sitting on the ground all alone 'Why haven't you told someone…?' Ventus asked in a worried tone of voice.
"I don't want to worry anyone else…" Sora mumbled staring at the ground with his hands clenched into fists.
"Why?" Sora questioned sadley. "Why are they so mean?"
There was no response.
"Freak!" Rin taunted again as he shoved Sora back.
"Leave me alone Rin…" Sora muttered slowly trying to back away.
"Why should I? No one likes you. You're just a weird loser who talks to no one." Rin said sneering his brown eyes narrowed. "Your just a little freak who everyone hates!"
Sora flinched again and felt his anger starting to rise, "I'm not a loser though! I'm not! You're wrong!"
"Yes you are your a friendless idiot!" A girl said from behind Rin.
"I do have friends though! Riku is my friend...and Ventus is too!" Sora replied back, the tears beginning to swell up in his eyes.
"Oh yeah Riku's only friends with you because he pities you! And Ventus isn't real you freak, get it through your head!" Rin said shoving Sora again who stumbled back a couple steps.
Sora growled as his anger boiled over and he stepped forward shouting, "Stop! Just stop it! I'M NOT A FREAK!" He screamed out, tears coming down his face as he shoved Rin as hard as he could, immediately running away to his home right after doing so.
Ventus was about to comfort Sora when a cold, uneasy feeling washed over him, something was wrong…
Aaand cliffhanger!
