Sora's Pov (Still.)
It always seemed so fast when I was controlling the Gummi Ship, but now it seems like ages before we get to the next world. I'm down with Airie in the small area you first step into when you get into the ship.
She's still. Her eyes glassy and still hazy, her chest moving in shadowed intervals. I could tell she was struggling just to get that breath. I rubbed my thumb against her cheek, trying to keep the warmth inside of her, but it was slowly draining out.
I think it probably took us a hour or so to get to the next world, but it seemed more like days, or months. I'm still not sure. When we did finally get to the next world, Donald came down and told me we should probably just leave Airie in the Gummi Ship, to keep her safe. Just in case. I agreed to that, not that I wanted to go and carry her everywhere. Not only was that dangerous, but I wouldn't be able to fight with her in my arms, and if I were holding her, I wouldn't put her down, no way.
So when I left the Gummi Ship, I made sure it was locked and that Airie's head was lying on a pillow because I wanted her to be comfortable if she ever woke up.
That was when the thought hit me. What if she didn't wake up?
"Sora? Sora, what's wrong?" Goofy asked.
"Hm?" I asked looking up at them. Well, just Goofy really, I would have to look down to see Donald.
"Um, well…" Goofy pointed a finger beneath his eye. I touched the spot there on my own face and felt wetness.
"Oh…" I hadn't even realized that until now. I wiped the tears away and started walking. "Where are we?"
Donald shrugged and Goofy didn't even bother to answer. We kept walking, looking for people, but we were mostly unsuccessful.
Airie's Pov
When the darkness went away I looked around. I was on the floor in a bright room, it looked like something you would see in a movie in a submarine or whatever. There was a pillow under where my head had been while I was sleeping but now that my head was lifted the pillow was useless with a dent in it and limp on the floor.
I stood, walked over to the door and tried to pull it open, but I was apparently locked inside. Great, just great. That was the next thing that I needed, to be locked up somewhere, again.
I let out a sigh and sank to the floor, now bored and still tired and wondering what the hell was going on. I stared at my nails, wondering about home. What had happened to Destiny Islands anyway? Was all of it gone? Would I ever be able to go home…ever? I pulled the pillow over and hugged it to my chest. What about my house? Could someone had broken into it, if the islands weren't gone? I was wondering about all of the people that had been taken along with it too. They were heartless now, probably dead or still wondering around.
Wondering about that, I faded into a vision of what happened that night.
It was dark, and from what I remember wasn't I lying on the beach unconscious? I couldn't find my body anywhere.
I see a woman start running and screaming for someone to save her. She ran toward me, but instead of stopping and ran right through me, as if I were a ghost. That was when I saw the shadows following her. A ton of them, at least twenty.
The woman was to slow to get away. The shadows caught up with her and tackled her to the ground. She was screaming louder now and blood was being sprayed everywhere. The heartless were feasting on her, and boy were they feasting.
My stomach roiled, but I resisted the urge to throw up or faint again. The woman's heart flies into the air and I gasp when I realize who the woman was…
…that was Sora's mom.
I collapse next to her remains and start crying, remembering how nice she always was to me. Her skeleton suddenly changes into a small soldier heartless and scampered off. I remained with my knees hugged to my chest and tears rolling down my face. I watched as others suffered the same fate as Sora's mom, but soon the vision faded and I found Sora calling my name. I looked up at him, confused. Had he not seen it? Maybe I was imagining things, as usual. His placed his hands on my cheeks, and kissed me on the forehead. I immediately turned red, thinking that the duck and dog may have been there but they weren't.
"Where are the others?" I asked Sora.
He looked around, then looked back at me. "They're outside. Don't worry about that right now. How do you feel?"
I shrugged. "I feel like the new-aged Airie," I told him, giggling a bit. He smiled at me, happy I was being me, or whatever I was right now.
Sora stood up. "Come on, wanna come out?"
I shook me head. "It's safer for me to stay here," I insisted, remembering the incident in HalloweenTown earlier.
He nodded. "Right, you're right. I don't know what I was thinking. You stay here and rest, okay?"
"Okay," I said smiling a little.
Sora smiled back to me, reassuringly. "Good, see you in a minute," he tap-kissed the edge of my nose and walked out.
Wait…did Sora just kiss me again? Once on the forehead, once on the nose. Yes! He did! Oh my god…I always thought he liked Kairi. He drew a picture of himself and her with the Paopu that one time…what was going on here?
A little shorter than usual, but whatever, I updated, does that make the little children happy?
