A/N: I have decided to continue the story! Thanks to sorakairi forever I was motivated to write once again. I like reviews, and I really like long reviews. So thank you for the review. Anyway, I'm still not sure how I will end it or how long I will make the story, so I'm just gonna go with the flow. Now I'm going to stop blabbing to let you all enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: Plain and simple:I don't own KH.

Hopeful Thoughts

"Y-you killed his parents?" Kairi asked, stunned.

"Yes. I would have preferred not to, but as I said its kill or be killed," Twilight replied, her voice holding no emotion. Kairi's eyes glistened with unshed tears. Sensing tension, Fayte silently got up walked over to Kairi.

"Hey, why don't you come with me? I'll show you to your room and help you get comfortable," she said. Kairi swallowed the lump in her throat, nodded, and followed Fayte out of the room. The door closed silently behind them. Fayte sighed.

"I know how you must feel," she began. She looked down at Kairi's distressed face. Fayte smiled lightly.

"Okay, maybe I don't know how you feel exactly, but…um, well. Arg, this is harder than I thought," she said wiping her brow. Kairi laughed a bit.

"Alright, look at it this way. Twilight has it pretty rough. Even though she's the Master's favorite, she has more restrictions," Fayte said, her tone becoming more soft and serious than before. "You know, the Master killed her parents when she was 15, and broke her spirit and will when he took her for his plans. I was lucky. He just found me, and decided to use me after seeing my powers. She just wants to live a life without rules or restrictions. And, I think that's her only motivation to live right now."

Kairi looked at the blonde haired girl, completely shocked at what she said. "I guess I'm acting really selfish now. I've been free most of my life, and she barely has the right to breath. I-I guess I kind of…want to do something for her, but I don't know if I should. And…if I do…I don't know what I'd do," Kairi said. Now it was Fayte's turn to be shocked. They stood in the hallway in silence for a while. She smiled.

"You may be able to do something," Fayte said quietly. Kairi's head snapped towards her.

"What did you say?" she asked. Fayte smirked.

"I'm not telling," she said in a sing-song voice. She skipped down the hall. "Come on! I want to show you your room!" Kairi sighed and ran after the hyper girl.

(With Sora and company) (it's still night)

"Hey Riku?" Selphie called out quietly. Silence was her response. "Riku! Are you still awake?" she whispered little louder.

"Well, I was asleep until you woke me up," Riku said with quiet anger.

"Oh! Sorry," she whimpered. She heard him sigh.

"It okay, but now that I'm up, what did you want to tell me?" he asked. She fiddled with her sheets nervously.

"I-I just…i-it's …nothing," she said quietly, her courage dissipating. Riku propped himself up on his elbow, and gave Selphie a concerned look.

"You sure? You know you can tell me anything," he prodded.

"Um, well…it just that…um…what if I'm not strong enough to help and just get in the way?" she asked. That wasn't the question she wanted to ask him, but it was something that had been on her mind. Riku was silent for a few minutes.

"Well, you're really good with your nun chucks, so I don't think you have to worry much trouble. And if you're concerned about strength, then I could train you while we're camping. Then you can get strong and faster, but I won't be able to teach you any new moves unless you want to learn hand-to-hand combat," he told her.

"That would be great if you're willing to train me. And I'll probably need to learn hand-to-hand combat. I can't just rely on my nun chucks all of the time," Selphie said, smiling. She was glad that she would be able to spend more time together with Riku.

"Well, now that that's settled, I think I'll go to sleep," the silver haired boy said as he lay back down in his bed. She smiled, and followed suit.

"Good night Riku," she said.

"Night," she heard him say before she drifted into an uneventful slumber.

(With Twilight, Twilight's POV)

I sat at the table, and watched as Fayte and Kairi walked out of the room. I hadn't wanted to upset her, but it was the truth. I got up, and left for her room. Fayte would come back to clean up the food. I walked down the halls that had formed in the cave by years of erosion. Walking into my room, I sighed and lay down on my bed. Why must I be his slave?

"How is our guest doing?" a masculine voice asked. Speak of the devil, and here he is. I sat upright, and faced the area the voice had come from.

"It seems I have upset her when I told her I killed the keyblade master's parents," I said quietly. No doubt she'll hate me. Now I won't be able to get her to help me get out of this hellhole. I heard him chuckle lightly.

"I see. Does she know why she's here yet?" he asked me.

"Only that you require something from her, Master. She knows not of what it is you want her for though. Is there anything else you want?" I asked.

"Just one thing," he said, stepping out of the shadows. His body had a good build. His brown hair reached down to his shoulder blades, and his eyes were a dark shade of amber. He would have been very handsome if he weren't evil, but he was. So I hated him, and never could, nor will ever love him. He approached me with an evil glint, as usual, in his eye.

"And what would that be, Master?" I asked him. He smirked as he sat down beside me, his arms wrapping around my shoulders. I was too scared to look at his face; for fear that I would see that face again. He bent his head down to nibble on my neck. I knew what was coming. I really wished I hadn't wanted to live, because I want more than ever to die now from the guilt of the deeds I have done. Me and my stupid will to stay alive has made his slave I wanted to die. But there may be an escape for me yet. I just hope I can make it until then.

(With Kairi, Kairi's POV)

"Sweet dreams!" Fayte said as she left me in my room. I smiled at her.

"You too," I replied. Sighing, I lay back on the bed in this room I had been given to stay in for the time being. I still had no idea as to why I'm here other than some guy wants something from me, and I don't even know what it is that he wants. I sighed again. I wasn't going to get any sleep soon.

I got off the bed and paced around the room. I needed to find some way to escape from here. There had to be a window, or a secret door or passageway, or something here for me to use to get out of here! I walked over to the door and tried to open it. Locked. Of course it was locked. They wanted something from me, so they wouldn't want me escaping, now would they? I turned back to face the rest of the room, taking everything in for the first time. There wasn't much in here except for the bed, a nightstand, a balcony, a window, an oil lamp that was hanging on the wall, a dresser…a window! Wow, I'm really slow. I can't believe I didn't notice that before.

Anyway, I went over to the window and walked out onto the balcony. Looking down over the side, I could see that this cave/castle was in the mountain, and it was very high up. It almost reminded me of Hallow Bastion. Well, jumping was definitely out of the question unless I wanted to kill myself, but I don't really want to die right now. I looked up at the sky. The moon was out and the dim light that reflected off of its full surface lit up all of the areas it hit. I felt tired suddenly. Or maybe I was dizzy from looking down. Well, whatever it was, I was tired and started to head back in the room. I did want to escape, but I would do it sometime when I had more energy and when I found a good route. For now I would sleep.

Before I turned to go in, something caught my eye. I looked back up at the sky to see lots of shooting stars. It was a silly and childish thing to wish on a shooting star, but I didn't care. I closed my eyes and wished. I wished for Sora to be able to find me. I felt a tug at my heart. Maybe it was Sora. I hoped it was and that hope gave me courage. I smiled as I walked back into my room. Tomorrow, I would make my escape. That is, if I find a way to get down this mountain…

A/N: yes, I know this isn't a very long chapter, but I'll try to make the next one longer. And I'll try to update sooner, but I have three or four other stories I have to update, and there are two new stories I might becoming out with. But don't expect them to come out anytime soon. They aren't going to be KH stories though. Please review! Flames are welcome too. I call it: constructive criticism.
