Chapter 13

I had made that promise for one purpose; to keep it. As I watched her leave into the darkness to return to Destiny Islands I had known all was forgiven. We had given eachother one last hug and kiss until we'd see each other again.
As months passed Kingdom Hearts started to grow and become more powerful; soon it would be completed. I stood their gazing at the moon as many thoughts raced thorugh my head.
"I'm quite impressed Xenon with your work." The blue headed superior walked over to me with a sort of evil grin. "But yet, there is something missing." Saix continued.
"What's that?" I growled.
I felt mymself being clobbered upon my head. This is when I realized he had used me. Used me to get his damn hearts! My head ached; I was dizzy. He towered over my being raising his claymore stabbing me in the stomach. That was when my life blackened.

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win. But to be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.
I'm falling into endless darkness. Am I dead? I can't see anything. Coldness has struck me there is nothing for me here. What's that? Creatures of the darkness I see. They surround me like a pack of wolves trying to kill it's prey; I close my eyes and wait for the ending or the eternity pain.
I don't find it though instead I feel a gentle grip on my arm. Someone is pulling me, pulling me away. I'm dragged forawhile I can't even see who is leading me. But then I see light.
Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light.

I awake rubbing my eyes but then soon enough groaning in pain.
"Yen Sid, he's awake!" I hear a shout from a too famliar voice.
"Sora?" I grunt opening my eyes finally. The light irritated my eyes. How long exactly have I been in the darkness?
"Riku." Kairi came running and leaned down to hug me.
"Kairi, how did I get here?"
"The king found you in the darkness." She bit her lip looking into my eyes. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling fine," I tried to stand to my feet but failed misserably. I fell to the ground landing exactly on the place where i had been stabbed. "SHIT!"
"You need to rest up now, get some sleep," Yen Sid, who had been in the room when Kairi came in, said. "Sora and Kairi please help him up on the bed."
I shook my head. "I need to go."
"No Riku, Yen Sid has given orders." I rolled my eyes as both of my friends forced me to lay on the most uncomfortable bed.
"Kairi, may I talk to you alone for a moment?" I asked after a few minutes had passed.
Once Sora and Yen Sid had left the room I looked up at Kairi smiling. "Is Rose okay?" I croaked as her name left slid off my lips.
"She's doing good Riku. She misses you so much."
"I-I do too."I smiled softly as I closed my eyes. Might as well get some sleep, right?
