A/N:I deeply apologize for how long this story has been without a new chapter. I thank Wolflover77, Mangoes, Sam Belk, Roxy McCartney, Witch of Tragedies, ziffy87, and Nightshadow Rage, who have all reviewed this story. Sorry everyone. I hope this chapter will earn some forgiveness, and the story shall finally begin again.
For those new and old, please review. If I don't have at least twelve reviews, I'll probably forget all about updating and take forever to realize I have to get it done. Well, thank you everyone and I do hope you enjoy the chapter!
They had been only a minute apart, but by the time Riku made it downstairs, he was greeted by another horrid sight.
The entire living room was torn apart, the couch in shreds and there were claw marks across the walls. Papers were scattered on the floor and the window next to the front door was smashed, glass shards everywhere.
"Ow, what was that?" Riku rushed to Wakka's side, who was laying on the floor, a deep gash in his arm and cuts on his face. Riku was just glad he was alive. He helped the larger man from the floor, brushing off the glass from his clothes.
"What happened?" Riku asked, shocked at how quickly the state of the room had changed. Wakka was just shook his head, confused himself.
"I dunno. I came down and somethin just burst through the window, ya. Looked like some sort of animal you know?" he tried to explain, pointing to the window. Both men saw something moving outside, a dark figure lurking in the night. A feeling of fear and terror crept into Riku's chest as it turned, eerie gold orbs staring back at them.
Riku called his keyblade into his hand, ready to slay whatever the creature was, but suddenly, perhaps sensing the danger, the figure twitched and fled.
The silver haired boy ran outside, leaving Wakka to run upstairs to check on the girls. He spun around, trying desperately looking for where it went. There was a rustling in the bushes from behind and Riku aimed his keyblade in the direction, only to hear quick steps from behind him. He turned again, trying to pinpoint the sounds, but the always seemed to get behind him. In the dark, he had absolutely no advantage, foolishly trying to attack something he couldn't even see.
Suddenly the sounds stopped and there was silence.
Selphie and Kairi had finally calmed down enough to breath normally. Kairi buried her face in her arms. She was scared, nervous, every feeling that she hated. The red head bit her bottom lip. Tidus had been with Sora when he died, so whatever killed the blonde might've dragged him off somewhere too. The young woman stood, earning a worried glance from the brunette.
"Kairi?"
"Stay here Selphie. I'm going to find Sora," Kairi explained, opening the door to the grizzly scene again, trying to remain calm. Selphie made a grab for her wrist but the girl pulled away.
"But whatever killed Tidus, it'll ki-"
"Kill me too? If we just sit here,who knows. It may come and kill us anyway," Kairi objected, walking across the nausiating room to the open window. The icy wind chilled her cheeks. "So I'm willing to take my chances in finding Sora." Selphie sighed, knowing there'd be no changing her mind. Kairi swung one leg out the window, making sure she had one foot on the thick tree branch just outside before pulling the rest of herself out the window. It took her a moment to gain her balance, and then she maneuvered herself down the tree.
Selphie watched from the window Kairi running off in the damp grass when the sound of rustling came. Leaves from above fell hard from above and a figure danced in the treetop. At first she though she imagined it, but suddenly it leapt down and perched itself on the windowsill, eyes golden and fearsome. Large claws scratched at the wallpaper.
The way its black hair spiked, the clothes it wore that were dyed black, the necklace that hung from its neck.
"S-sora?"
Wakka burst into the room just inside to the the beast devour the poor girl's heart from the cavity of her chest, fresh crimson and maroon flakes of dried blood framed its mouth and sharp fangs that were exposed when he let out a growl. Crawling over Selphie's corpse on all fours, Sora gave a sniff of the air.
Smells delicious. So so many treats.
Wakka barely had time to turn to run when Sora pounced and plunged his claws into the man's flesh.
A/N:Okay, Selphie and Wakka are gone now. They both became yummy snacks. I'm glad about Wakka. I really don't like him. Anyway, this is chapter 5. I thought this story would've been much shorter. Anyway, please bear with me as I try to produce another chapter! Thank you for everything and I'll try not to disappoint.
Please leave a review and thank you all again!
