Blank Sketch

by Fruity-Fruit-Cups

For Wishing-Fire's 100 AU challenge. What if Naminé wasn't Kairi's Nobody? What if she was more than just a shadow, more than just the lonely girl wishing to be something she wasn't? As her life changes, the pages of her sketchbook slowly fill up.

21. Underwater

I'm going to say this right now - AP homework sucks. Big time. So, thank you, as usual, for reviewing. ^^

Blank Sketch

Underwater

The waves of the tide, usually so calm and lax, licked at the remains of the raft, dragging weeks of hard work, of happy memories, into the sea, never to be seen again.

Naminé could only watch, frozen in place by all of the emotions swirling through her. Fear, anger, disappointment, and so many others, tumbling around in her head.

She wanted to find Sora. She wanted to find Riku. She wanted them to be safe. She wanted this nightmare to end.

She wanted the skies to clear, to be able to see the afternoon sun again. She wanted the unforgiving wind to stop whipping her around like a rag doll.

But...Naminé couldn't move - couldn't breathe.

It was like she was being dragged underwater, doomed to sink deeper and deeper until the surface wasn't visible anymore.

And then, crawling out of the blackened shadows of the water, she saw it.
