Chapter: 16 i know you'll be there
(3rd Person POV)
after artemis attacked taios with darkness, she ended up attacking sophie which made her block the mad gal. afterwards she was in so much pain; trying to resist the darkness but to no avail
"Grahhhhhhhhhhh!" said as artemis was in pain as her own darkness tried to turn her more
just then, a familiar friend of taios showed up just in the nick of time as she stopped
"Artemis!"
"Cyclone, what are you doing here?" asked Taios
"I was sent here." Cyclone answered as he dodged Artemis's attack.
"yeah, but by who-"
"Look you two can have your reunion later! Right now we need to focus on helping Artemis!" yelled Sophie
"And how do you suppose we do that?!" Cyclone asked glaring at her
"We fight." said kosha
"Damn it! Kosha keep Artemis away from the villagers!"
as sophie was about to go after her taios grabbed her wrist, pulling her back towards him and the pissed looking Cyclone.
"Are you crazy?!" said taios
"We could kill her!"
"First off, I'm not crazy." said as sophie glared at Taios
"And second-...How much are you willing to give up to save her Cyclone?" said as she made a glare that made him recoil back to a wall
"Wh-what kind of a question his that?!" said as he glared at her while he looked at the ground
"It's question you should always ask yourself when someone you care about is suffering. Artemis is going to lose her heart if we don't help her because if darkness takes her over you may well go ahead say she is dead already."
as she looked towards the direction Artemis, she then summoned Darkness again and sohpie's wings of Darkness grew from her back to make her fly
"Artemis is my friend and I'll be damned if I let her become a pawn in Xehanort's plans!"
as she flew around kohana, she found her, but when she did, artemis looked corrupted and dangerous (think of a succubus mixed with a demon and a vampire, and you'll get the point) pinned poor little kosha down, but luckily she lured her away from him, and comfort him like a mom does to a baby child
"So-phie…?"
"Shhh it's okay. You need to rest."
as Sophie looked at artemis, she roared at her with darkness flowing from her, this time she was ready for it
"Artemis, I'm sorry it has to be this way but I made a promise that you wouldn't fall to darkness and I intend to keep it."
"HRRRAAAAGGHHHH!"
Artemis ran strait towards sophie and tried to slash at her with her claws, but quickly dodged only to receive a small scratch on her arm. Then she kicked her face and summoned my dark wings and tried to pin her to the ground but she easily dodged the feathers and then disappeared, but she wasn't gone. sophie then looked around trying to sense her, but nothing registered. Then a fire filled pain grew upon her shoulder. she cried out in pain and fell to ground feeling bruises already forming onto her body. Sophie tried to get up but already Artemis's darkness had her paralyzed and pinned to the ground. she heard a laughing growl sound throughout the area and Artemis materialized and looked at her with a sneering smirk. she again struggled to get away but artemis' darkness wasn't going to give up
"Artemis, I know this isn't you."
she only laughed as she slowly creeped toward Sophie
"Just try to fight it. you can't beat my power!"
"Think of Taios and Cyclone. They wouldn't want you to be this way."
"Screw them! my brother was always useless in the past. but as for cyclone; i intend to rape him, then murder him to watch his body burst in blood!"
"please...think of cyclone-"
Her claw rose and her nails grew extremely long ready to take away her heart. she closed her eyes and hoped her words would reach through, but I instead heard a pained roar sound through out the area and a pair of arms help her up to sophie's feet. I looked up to see Taios attacking artemis with tears od sadness and regret.
"T-Taios." shocked to see him as he looked away
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
"I'm just sorry for everything." he said in a depressed tone
she then looked at him and drew him into a friendly hug
"You have nothing to be sorry about...Alright ready to get your sister back?!" said as she punched him on the arm and smirked which made Taios smile
"And you...Ready to get your girlfriend back?"
"She's not my girlfriend!"
sophie then smirked and immediately was his side with keyblade in hand holding back Artemis's attack that was only inches away from Cyclone's face.
"Yo Cyclone, Taios keep light on your toes and give it everything you got otherwise she'll be lost."
They both nodded and Artemis roared and tried to slash at her legs with her other claw, but she jumped over her then tried to slash at her but she disappeared into darkness and sent these tentacle things in her place to hold sophie against her will. Then Artemis came out of nowhere and kicked her face. After that her tentacles sent her flying into the air and artemis kicked her stomach and sent her to the ground causing sophie to spit up blood. she groaned but then realized something was on top of her and that something was Artemis who had her claw near heart again. she looked into her eyes and felt an emotion she never thought she'd feel so much at once.
Fear.
she was afraid to kill her and Artemis knew it. she wanted to scream, but sophie was to paralyzed by fear to do anything about then sent her claw back, ready to deliver the growled at her and then sent her claw forward, but before the blow ever came, both Taios and Cyclone's keyblades pierced right through Artemis's chest and her darkness cracked like a broken mirror then faded into fell quickly but Cyclone had caught her and held her in his arms already having tears staining his looked down trying to fight the tears, but they had still fallen.
"I'm so sorry!" said as taios cried
"It's not your fault." said as she whispered and they all looked at her as she opened her eyes.
"All of you saved me from falling into Xehanort's plot and now I feel so peaceful."
"But we -"
Artemis shook her head telling him to stop looked at the ground and let his tears fall onto his knees. Artemis looked at sophie and beckoned her to come closer.
"So-phie." She whispered.
"Yes?"
"Could you sing to me one last time?" said as sophie sniffed and nodded her head.
Cyclone placed her head upon sophie's lap and immedieatly she closed her eyes to listen.
(meadow song- Hunger games)
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when you awake, the sun will rise.
Artemis began to fade.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
She stopped breathing.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, A moonbeam ray, Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
sophie's tears painted her face they fell.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
And then she was gone. they all cried silently for a moment not even daring each other to look at one another. Then sophies tears began to fall less and less and Taios rose from the ground and began to walk and sohpie looked after him and got up along with Cyclone.
Please don't follow me." He whispered.
"But we need to stick together Taios." Cyclone argued, but Taios shook his head.
"But why not?" asked hikari
"I just….when I really need you guys, I know you'll be there."
As soon as he finished his sentence a keyhole appeared and Taios without another word summoned his key blade and sealed the lock. But without realizing it time and space would change from this sealing.
