Sleepless Chapter 5

"W-who are you?" Kairi mumbled to the approaching figure. She guessed the figure was a boy older than her. Wait, why the hell does it matter? Kairi mentally scolded herself. But she continued to gather information on his appearance the best she could. He wore dark clothes and the top half of his face was covered with his black hood.

He stopped about seven feet away from her and smiled. He offered his hand, which was covered in a black glove, to her silently.

"No! Who are you? Tell me now!" She yelled. Her knees were starting to shake and she tightened her grip on the bat.

He gave a dark chuckle and continued his walk towards her.

"Don't make me hurt you now." Kairi said, wanting to give this guy one last chance to leave. He didn't stop. So she swung the bat as hard as she could, aiming for the guy. But he disappeared into dark smoke before she even touched him. "Where…." Kairi looked around, doing a complete 360 degree search. When she returned to her previous position he stood in front of her. She jumped and in the process dropped the bat. It rolled at his feet.

"Kairi…right." He said with a smile on his lips. The storm added on to his mysterious aura and it also made Kairi more jumpy.

"How do you know my name?" She questioned gently, her tough act was gone now that she didn't have the bat.

He came closer to Kairi, making her back up until she hit the wall.

What is this? I should be running as far away as I can but…

As she stared at the intruder, everything around him grew dark and featureless. She couldn't hear the thunder anymore or see any lightning. It was just him and her but then, he began to fade into the darkness too while she slid to the ground and collapsed.

It was bright even with her eyes closed. She opened them reluctantly and was slapped with white lights blaring at her. No…there were no lights in the room. It was just strikingly white. It took her about a minute to get use to the brightness. She was standing in a white room with no doors or windows that she could see.

"Hey!" She shouted, her voice echoed about five times. She turned around and around but there was nothing. Kairi then slumped to the floor and tried to get her thoughts straight.

Where's that guy? Did he put me here? And…more importantly, where am I?

"Kairi…" It was a girl's voice.

Kairi picked her head up and looked up at the ceiling, where the voice came from. She quickly stood up and her eyes widened, "I'm dead?" She asked in disbelief. "How'd I-"

"No. You're not dead, Kairi. You're just…resting for now." The voice came from the plain white sky again.

"Why am I resting? And where?" Kairi asked gently. The voice seemed nice enough; if she was nice to the voice then she'll receive the same treatment…right?

"You couldn't sleep, remember? Like your mom said, you need your rest."

"Wait! But…how'd I get here?" Kairi asked, directing the voice to the ceiling. For some reason, she felt silly talking like this.

"He brought you here." The voice came from behind Kairi this time. The red-head quickly turned to see a blonde girl with her back facing her. "But only for a little while longer…You're suppose to wake up soon." The blonde girl continued, smoothing out her white dress.

"Who is he?" Kairi questioned while she started walking to the girl.

"Don't." She warned.

Kairi stopped her walking. "Oh, I'm…sorry." She replied carefully, not wanting to get in trouble.

The blonde shook her head, "Its fine. But, I can't tell you his name. I'm not allowed. Sorry." On the last word the blonde turned her head towards Kairi and gave a light smile.

Kairi gasped, the girl looked…

Darkness clouded her vision before she could study the blonde's features more. She started to fall down, but strangely, she didn't feel the impact because she already fell.

Kairi awoke on the floor of her bedroom as the light from the sun entered through her window. She was staring straight at the bat on the ground. She jolted up, hitting her head on the wall while doing so. "Oww…"She whimpered as she rubbed the back of her head. Kairi grabbed the bat and placed it near her bed this time.

A dream…Or more like part of one?
