Author's Note - Last chapter was more Roxas's point of view. Like I did with Riku and Sora, now I'm trying out Namine's PoV.
Namine started to cry. She felt Roxas tense up suddenly and hurried to still her sobs. Was he mad at her? Roxas got mad a lot when she cried, but she couldn't help it. Some things made her sad, and more often than not, those some things were caused by him.
She felt a gush of wind and closed her eyes closed instinctively, protecting her from the sting of the sand. More tears were forced out as she did so. When she opened them she found the view had changed. Dramatically. For starters, Roxas was much farther away, crouched in the sand looking ready to pounce. The expression on his face was something between anger and incredulity, like he didn't quite believe what he was seeing and was none too happy about it.
And now, instead of being held, Namine felt she was being carried. What was going on? If Roxas was down there, then who...? She looked up to see.
Nobody. There was nothing there.
Nobody was carrying her!
She looked down, to the sides, everywhere she could in her position. There was no head, no arms, no feet, no chest, no nothing. Nothing! But she felt it. Somebody was holding her there, a strong arm was wrapped around her waist, her feet dangled two feet off the ground.
This was wrong. This was wrong. This was wrong.
"Roxas!" Namine screamed. And then Roxas wasn't there anymore. Her view had changed once again.
Sora shook his head. "I don't wanna."
Riku approached with evil intent. "Don't worry, Sora, you won't get hurt." That wasn't entirely true.
Sora backed away quickly, shaking his head from side to side in defiance. "No, no, no, no." But there was only so far Sora could run. If he took one more step, the spiders would appear, if he didn't...
Riku made up Sora's mind for him. His left hand shot out clumsily, grabbing for Sora's arm. Sora fell for it like the big dope he was, dodging Riku's hand just to run into his other one.
Sora kicked and screamed as Riku dragged him over to a place almost directly below the spider on the ceiling. A thin cord hung there, almost invisible, a broken piece attatched to the web above them. Riku had tested it only moments before. It could hold his weight. So, in theory, he could've climbed the thing. But, in theory, so could Sora.
"You can't make me," Sora said, refusing to touch the cord when Riku placed him in front of it.
"Yes I can," Riku said, matter of factly.
"It was your plan, you do it!"
Riku scoffed, "Are you kidding me? There's a huge spider. I'm not going up there."
"Hey!"
Riku let Sora go. Sora spun on him, but quickly realized that without his keyblade, he didn't stand much of a chance. He settled for crossing his arms and looking mad instead.
Riku tried not to laugh. Sora was just like a puppy when he tried to look mad. He ruffled his friend's hair. Sora batted his arm away. Riku shrugged and sat down again. "It was just an idea."
A bad idea. Sora said to himself. A really, really, really, really, really bad idea. The idea had been, that if they couldn't move along the floor they could move along the ceiling. After all, the floor had a bunch of obsticles in the way, obsticles with spiders hiding behind them. The ceiling, however, was virtually flat. And there was only one spider on the ceiling.
So, naturally, someone had to climb up there and knock it off.
Simple. That's how Riku had put it. Simple. Sora had an almost overwhelming urge to slug him right there. But Riku's back was turned. That wouldn't exactly be fair...Sora picked up a small rock and threw it at him. Hard. It hit Riku in the back of the head. He turned to Sora and glared.
"What? Someone's throwing rocks or something," Sora said, putting on his huge innocent eyes. "Wasn't me." He was horrible at lying. He turned and walked off.
"Sora, you're a genius."
"What?" Sora turned around. Riku had a rock in his hand. For a moment, Sora thought he was going to throw it at him. But then he threw it at the ceiling. And hit the spider. It hissed and spun in its web to face them.
"Uh, Riku," Sora said.
Riku wasn't listening. "Alright, first shot." He picked up another rock. Another bull's eye.
"I'm not sure that's such a good idea..."
The spider was really angry now. It opened its huge mouth and growled, yes growled, at them. Its siliva dripped down and hit the floor, sizzeling on the place it landed. Another rock hit it square in the belly. It had had enough.
It dropped down.
Her own blonde hair blocked her line of vision. Namine brushed it back impatiently. She was at the entrance to a cave now, a huge simicircle of dirt surrounded it. Outside of the simicircle was sand that stopped abruptly, unable to pass some unseen barrier. The sand was spotted with rocks, and a cliff loomed high to one side. The moon was covered by thin clouds. She felt something poke her side and jumped away. She wasn't alone. It poked her again and she threw her arm out in that direction, smacking something away.
That's when she noticed the foot prints in the dirt. A few more appeared, as if a man was taking a step or two back. Then he knelt. The ground in front of her feet was wiped clear. She took a step back. A word was slowly being written in the dirt. Namine's eyes widened. She knew what the word was before the invisible figure finished. She turned and fled into the cave. The foot prints of the man quickly followed her.
The moon came out from behind the clouds, clearly illuminating the word on the ground.
Witch.
Author's Note - The chapters are pretty short. Sorry. It takes me about three hours to write this much. I'm sure I'll get faster once I get the hang of it, and then the chapters will get longer. Feedback is appreciated. :)
