Riku took a deep breath. I put my hand on his shoulder. He smiled slightly.
"C'mon Riku, we have to think. Where will no one find us?" I thought about it. We've been all through Traverse Town, right? Then I saw a farmiliar face walk through the door. Someone who helped us. Maybe he could help again. I didn't want to get him mad though, he seemed way tougher than me. It was worth it. I walked up to him.
"Leon, right?"
"Who wants to know?"
"I need you to help me!" Leon laughed.
"Heh, why should I help you? I don't even know-"
"You helped me once. Remember, down in the-" Damn, what was it called? "the place underground. Just, please! We're in grave danger!" Leon thought for a second. He nodded.
"Alright, what can I do?" I was about to squeal. We would be okay!
"We need a place where we can hide. Someone is after us... or something and-" He held his hand to my mouth. I knew when to shut up.
"I know a place, just keep your mouth shut. Go into third district and... on second thought, go down the ladder and talk to Cid. He knows what I'm talking about," Leon told me.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I wanted to hug him for that, but now was not the time. I had to go down the ladder and talk to Cid. I was out of breath after running all around first, second and third district. I climbed down to the person named Cid.
"Cid, right?" I said. He nodded.
"Leon said you could help us find a place to hide. In third district," Riku explained. Cid nodded again.
"Yeah, I know a place. Secret though. Only a few peo-"
"Look. We are friends of Sora's and we're in big trou-"
"Wait! Did you say friends of Sora? Riku and Mikaila, right?" I nodded and he walked out the door. I just stared at him.
"Well, are you coming?" My jaw dropped. We were going to make it after all. Maybe.
He led us to the third district door.
"Damnit. Won't open," Cid yelled. I summoned the keyblade. I held it to the door. Suddenly I saw a flash of light and it unlocked, allowing us to enter. We ran through about 6 feet and then Cid turned to the left and opened a door. We ran in and shut the door again.
"Uh, don't you need to lock it? So, you know, no one can come in and beat us to death?" Cid shook his head.
"This room, as small and crappy as it may seem, is protected by light. Sure, the dark can look through the windows, but once the room senses dark intentions they are spit out and electrocuted. Even the dark immune to lightning can't be immune to this kind of magic. It is pure light," Cid told us. The way he said it was magical, as if he were pure light as well. It was strange. He said it in a strange tone in which I will never forget. Then I realized something. I should have known all along.
Light can be found in even the darkest places. Any amount of darkness, there is light. But it works the other way too. Any amount of light, there is darkness. Except in the rare things and beings. That's what makes princesses of light so special. They are the seven rare beings that hold no darkness. Why didn't I see it before? If I had, I wouldn't have been as scared as I was. Light will always be inside me, even in I am in pitch-black darkness. Light is inside every heart. Light. Some type of light, may it be pure or tainted, it's light. Light can be found absolutely anywhere.
Most of my light is in Riku's heart.
Is his in mine?
