Another chance, Another heart
Ch.15 Anything for Love
Sora let's face it, were lost.
Ale, come on and cheer up. I've been here before you know.
Not on the inside. Riku replied to sora's statement
Ok then Mr. Smarty-pants, what do we do then? Sora said to riku.
Riku walked over to one of the biggest streams of light that he could find and submerged his hand in the fascinating liquid.
When I was in here with the king, he told me that I had to become one with the light.
And what does that do? I asked.
When you become one with the light, it takes you to the very soul of kingdomhearts. And that's where xehanort is.
Sora and I started walking towards riku until something from underneath me grabbed my ankle and started to pull me down into a black portal, I clawed at the ground trying to stay above the surface as I screamed for help.
Sora! Riku! Help!
Sora turned around and ran toward me, he leaped into the air and grabbed my hand when he landed, squeezing it.
Sora! Pull harder! I shouted.
I'm pulling as hard as I can! He replied.
Sora tried his best, but it wasn't good enough. My hand slipped out of his and I plunged into darkness.
**********************************************************************************************************************
I awoke to find myself chained up on a wall, ad the person that I never wanted to see again was right in front of me.
Hello ale. A dark voice said.
Xehanort.
Xehanort walked up to me and looked at me as if I were a piece of meat on the shelf he was about to buy.
Tsk…tsk…tsk, you really look pathetic ale. He said.
Look in the mirror! You're the one that's hiding in this hole like a rat!
Xehanort's eyes filled with anger, and he punched me on the side of my face, I started to taste blood in my mouth.
Quit you little whelp! It's because of me that you even exist! Your mother died giving birth to you and I took you in, you could be a rotting corpse in a ditch somewhere! If it wasn't for my sympathy…
This is what I think of you period!
I spat bloody spit onto xehanort's face, he walked away washing it off and looked like he was thinking.
You're a coward xehanort! I shouted. A selfish son of a…
I wouldn't continue if I were you. He said softly. After all your spirit has been broken before… and I'm going to break it again.
I would rather die than become a pitiful slave to do your bidding!
Oh… you're not the one who's going to die.
My heart froze, my breathing stopped, I tried to fake my emotions as he spoke.
Your little friend is on her way and with her… your downfall into darkness.
Arnexia would rather die than let you win!
I'm not talking about that no good, filthy, dirty blood traitor… I'm referring to the gentle, chocolate-eyed one.
I don't care for her! She's nothing to me! I said my voice rising.
Oh really… than I guess you won't mind this.
Xehanort opened a portal that was "see-through", it was opened by the well of souls that I had read in the book that kairi had found.
Sora, riku, and your friend will come here and when they do… you will watch her die. He laughed wickedly.
Xehanort don't do this. I begged.
Oh? He teased. I thought you didn't care for her, so it comes to reason… that you wouldn't mind watching her die. He said mockingly.
He smiled an evil, wicked smile and then walked through the portal; I looked around for anything that could break these chains.
There's got to be something in here.
It was then that I remembered the white ball that arnexia had given to me.
"If you're ever in trouble ale, the light will help you. How? There is pure light in this ball, just shatter it to release the light and it will destroy any dark bonds that have you."
I quickly got the corner of my top right pocket in my mouth and started to pull.
If I just can rip a hole in the bottom the ball will fall out, thus releasing the light.
I looked through the portal, the battle had already began and even roxas was fighting this time, things went from bad to worse when I saw a door opening up and xena was walking out of it right into xehanort's path.
No! My mind screamed.
I pulled harder and harder, slowly ripping a hole in my pocket, the ball slowly slipped out and shattered on the floor, light spread in all directions and my chains turned to powder.
Oh crap!
I fell two feet onto the ground, there was a snapping noise in my foot and a jolt of pain with it but I ignored it as I stood up and looked through the portal, xehanort had aimed a black fire ball straight for xena.
No! I screamed.
I jumped through the portal right in front of xena, every fiber of my being felt on fire and like all my bones where being poked by thousands of needles, I felt every bone in my body break as I hit the ground.
***************************************************************************************************************************
Xehanort! This ends now! Sora shouted as a bolt of light from the keyblade locked xehanort behind the door.
Ale. I whispered.
I ran to him and held him in my arms as best as I could, he looked into my eyes and blood flowed from his lips as he smiled.
Xena… you're alright. He said quietly.
You're going to be alright to ale. I said trying to reassure him and myself.
Xena… my body is broken… I'm fading.
No, no ale you can't.
I read the book… I knew this was going… to happen.
No I won't let you.
Xena… it's my time… you have to… let me go.
No…no.
Xena…I…
Ale's eyes went cold; his labored breathing had completely stopped.
No! I screamed as I held him closer to me. No you can't leave me! I screamed again as the person I loved died in my arms.
