Chapter 12 Lightning
"Ven has been out there for hours, should we bring him back in?" Aqua said with her face pressed up against a window. "He won't last much longer, i think those are rain clouds." As soon as those words escaped his lips it started to down pour. "Oh no..." Aqua sighed. A minutes or two later a soaking wet Ventus came into the living room with somthing that looked like a drenched black mop. "Have fun?" Terra smirked. "Ha-ha... Let's get out of here Abracadabra, I sense a mockery coming our way." "Now what..." Aqua sighed. *CRASH* "EEEPP! What was that!" Aqua yelled startled. "That was thunder..." "Make it stop!" Aqua grabbed a pillow and started quivering. "It's not going to hurt you Aqua, maybe the lightning will..." "Terra!" "It's ok." He walked over to Aqua, sat down beside her and started to hold her. "I won't let anything happen to you." "Terra was always a good comforter. He has his moments, but I'm glad to have him. Especially during these moments." *BOOM* Aqua buried her head in Terra's chest. "Don't worry, I'm here for you." "You know... I kinda like romantic Terra... Did I just say that? That spell must be contagious or something." She finally came back to reality after a few moments. "Maybe I should go see if Ven is ok." "I'll come with you." "Ven?" "You alright?" They walked in on him holding the cat in his arm rocking him back and forth like a baby. "Asphalt doesn't like thunderstorms." "Well I guess you two are fine." "Can we get charcoal some warm milk?" "Sure, I'll be right back." Aqua went to the kitchen and got the milk, warmed it up and brought it back to Ven and the kitty. "Here ya go. Do you know how to feed it?" "Yup." Ven gave it the bottle and watched it drink slowly. "I guess our work is done here. G'night Ven." Aqua left the go to the living room with Terra following behind her. *CLAP* "Ah!" Aqua could be in the safest place in the world and still be afraid of the storm but the one place she was comfortable was in the arms of Terra. But she would never tell him that. "Here." Terra patted the seat beside him on the couch, Aqua laid down on him and fell asleep. "Aqua?" He whispered. No answer. Terra carefully picked her up and carried Aqua to her room. "See you in the morning." He laid her ok her bed and walked away.
