I don't own Kingdom Hearts. Duh.
Chapter 4 – Lost
I must have fallen asleep. As if in a haze, I heard Sora yelling at the top of his lungs to "look out for the trees!" and Donald and Goofy simply howling the same vowel, which happened to be "ah."
A loud scraping noise screeched through my ears, and again I lost consciousness, much to my relief.
When I awoke, I was caught between two branches of a monstrous tree, hanging there only because I couldn't slip past the two obstructions. I moaned as I felt a dull, throbbing ache rip through my head and I reached up to place a hand to my forehead, momentarily forgetting where I was.
The knowledge reentered my thoughts, however, and, moving gingerly, I braced my hands against the rough bark and slowly hauled myself up and on to one of the branches.
Sitting on the limb, now, I glanced down at myself. My nearly unscathed self. It was a miracle I hadn't fallen to my bloody, gruesome death, although I later thought that that might actually have been a kinder fate.
I stuck a hand into my pocket curiously, and came up empty. No potions. Oh well, it's not like I was dying. "Just a little scratched, that's all," I mused to myself reassuringly.
After another moment of remaining motionless, the thoughts of my friends permeated into my brain, and I shakily stood, glancing around. Nothing but leaves and surrounding monster trees.
"Figures we'd land in the middle of a sweltering jungle. This thing's probably a billion miles wide," I murmured aloud, irritated. I shoved my hands roughly into my pockets and glared at the trunk in front of me like it was all its fault.
While I was distracted by thoughts of ways to leave a scar or twelve on the trunk of that tree, the tiniest noise alerted me to the fact that I was not alone. I began to turn around with a hopeful, "Sora?" And then, with a swift blow to the back of my head, I was once again in merciful darkness. I was going to have the worst headache of all time when I woke up.
I apologize for how short this is. Maybe I'll make the next one longer? We'll have to see. At least I resumed the story, right? Love me.
