Chapter 11
We ended up paying for a hotel room for the night. Sora and I sat down on the bed and Donald and Goofy took a seat in the chair across from us. I took Sora's hand as he opened his mouth to say something.
"Okay," Sora began, clearing his throat as the three of us turned to him. "Well, do you remember what I said before I landed? About the dreams?" He asked us. I tilted my head to the side, unsure of where Sora was going with this, as Donald and Goofy nodded at him. "Well, they were… about her,". I gasped, feeling a shiver run down my spine as Sora finished that sentence. About... me? The three of us remained silent as Donald and Goofy darted their eyes back-and-forth between Sora and me. "Well, when I landed with her, the strangest thing happened," He let go of my hand and I stood up and waved my hand forward, my Keyblade materializing in my hand.
"Well I am a Keyblade chosen one," I said, waving my hand back and dematerializing the Keyblade once more.
"The Keyblade's chosen two?!" Goofy yelled in disbelief, flailing his arms about and covering his mouth with a muffled gasp. I nodded in response.
"That's why we're together, why she's here," Sora replied with a nod as he slid off the bed and stood up. "Because she has a Keyblade and because I have a connection to her,"
"I've never heard of a third Keyblade…" Donald muttered, scratching his chin. "I bet the King knows something about this, we need to find him. When we got here, we ended up here, and the King is everywhere here, it's crazy!" Donald exclaimed.
"Well, maybe I can explain this to you," I said, trying to set this all into perspective. "So, you all aren't supposed to even be here in this world in the first place," I explained, my head dropping as my voice went softer. I was never supposed to meet Sora. Imagining a world where I never did, that was difficult for me to imagine.
"Whad'ya mean?" Goofy asked me, scratching his head.
"Well, you see," I began with a sigh. "You were created in my world, as you can tell by where we are at," I told him, swinging my hands around.
"That would explain why everyone kept trying to take our picture!" Donald exclaimed, giving a huff. "Those kids wouldn't leave me alone!"
"You know…" I trailed off, changing the subject. "I hadn't thought about it until now, but the game I got for my birthday…" I pulled it out of my bag to look at it. "It was given to Tohru to be given to me, either by the Organization, or-" I stopped myself last-second. I wondered if it was Riku, but how did he get here?
"Or?" Sora asked, placing his hand on top of mine. He turned back to me and raised an eyebrow.
"Probably the Organization…" I whispered, trying to divert Sora's attention. "This is probably what brought you three here," I said to them. The case began to glow suddenly, and a keyhole formed above. Sora and I both drew our Keyblades as we looked at each other, pushing our Keyblades together. He wrapped his arm around my waist as a chill ran down my spine, and my fingers slid down to intertwine with his.
The tips of our Keyblades touched and a single beam erupted from the intersecting blades, shooting inside of the keyhole and unlocking it. A portal opened from the keyhole and we looked back at each other.
"It's time to go," I told Sora with a grin.
"You have no choice but to come with us," Sora replied. Our foreheads touched, and I heard shuffling to our side.
"Yuck!" Donald said, covering his eyes and making a fake gagging sound. "But I guess you do have to come with us. We need to find the King as ask him about this situation,"
"Oh!" Goofy exclaimed, his eyes widening as a wide smile spread across his face. "Let's ask Master Yen Sid! I'm sure he knows something!" I nodded in agreement as I walked away, heading toward the Gummi ship. I hesitated before getting on.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked me, stopping me before I could leave. "Amara?"
"Nothing…" I replied with a sigh. "I just… get this feeling that I won't be back for a long time," I replied. He shuffled back to look at me. "But I've already made peace with this. I've…" I took a deep breath and smiled at Sora. "I've chosen you,"
He smiled back at me, and before I could leave he took my hand one last time.
Goodbye, world. Until we meet again.
