Chapter 4: Objectives

I woke up in the warm sands of the island the next morning. When I looked around I saw that everybody else was still asleep. I don't blame them for still sleeping, we had a rough night last night, luckily for us Terra never came back. It was still scary though, I didn't think he would show up that soon.

As everyone slept I got up and walked around the island, making sure there was no sign of an attack coming. It was warm for the morning, but I enjoyed the warm breeze on my face. I did a quick round and found no sign of Terra. When I returned to our camping site, everyone else was starting to wake up.

"Okay, we need to go talk to the king ASAP." Riku said as everyone was looking around, wondering if they were ready to get up or if they wanted to get a few more minutes of shuteye.

"What for?" Roxas yawned.

"We were just attacked, and you almost got kidnapped, why do you think?" Riku snapped at him.

"Alright, alright, we'll go talk to the king." Roxas moaned.

"Sheesh Riku, don't you think you could have been...I don't know, nicer?" Sora asked as he got up and dusted the sand out of his hair and clothes.

"Maybe if Roxas would stop being a smart ass." Riku said.

"Okay break it up!" I yelled as they both looked at me. "I know we're a little edgy from last night's attack, but that doesn't mean take it out on each other."

"Kairi's right, there's no reason to fight each other." Namine said as she stood next to me.

All the guys looked down and mumbled "fines" and "sorrys" to us.

"Now, before you guys snap and try to kill each other, lets go see the king." I suggested.

With that Namine turned away and made a dark portal to the palace and sure enough Mickey was already waiting for us.

"So Terra attacked you guys last night?" Mickey asked, even though he already knew the answer.

"Yeah, he almost got a hold of Roxas too." Sora said as he looked at Roxas.

"I see." Mickey said concerned as he looked down. "So he's moving a lot faster than I expected he would. There's nothing I can do for you guys now, just promise me you'll watch out for each other."

We all looked down solemnly, knowing we were on our own and there was nothing the king could do for us this time.

"We'll me made it this far together, we can make it to the end." Roxas said as he looked at us with a sad smile on his face. We all smiled and nodded back at him.

"We'll all stay together." I promised Mickey as the dark portal opened to bring us back home.

"I know you guys will." Mickey smiled.

When we got back to the island, Sora, Riku, and Roxas were already coming up with statagies to defend ourselves against Terra because obviously sleeping on the island every night was out of the question.

"How are you feeling?" I asked Namine as the boys planned.

"I'm alright." she smiled. "I'm actually having fun with this." she laughed. I looked at her for a second then I started laughing as well. It wasn't often that she was happy like this.

"Alright." Riku said, calling our attention. "We are going to work in shifts and watch over the island and our homes."

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"In other words, for one whole day the selected person will make rounds around the island and make sure there's no suspicious activity, if there is you report back to us immediately and we'll go on the defensive. Terra is after Sora and Roxas because he believes it will help Ven, so we need to pull together and help them."

And that exactly what we did, we spent the next to weeks keeping guard on the island and around our home area. So far there was no sign of Terra anywhere. Everything seemed like it was going back to normal....or so we thought.
