Chapter 2
Ventus

What's going on?

Where am I?

I can hear, but I can't see. I can feel, but I can't move. I don't know what's going on. There is only darkness. I don't know how much time I've spent in this darkness, but only until now could I hear the sound of a continuous machine. Beep-beep-beep. It sounds like a steady heart beat.

"... And that's when Aqua started outsmarting the guy. It was really funny." I heard a masculine voice chuckle. It sounded as if he was telling a story, but I only started hearing it at the end. There was a pause before he spoke again. "Ven? Come on respond... I miss you..."

Terra? I'm sure that's his voice, but where is he? I try to open my eyes, but they don't budge. Terra! I try to call, but nothing comes out. My mouth won't even open to allow my vocals to reach out to him.

"Ven, I'm sorry." I feel him grab a hold of my hand. I try to squeeze his hand, but my body won't move. "It's my fault if I had been paying attention... This wouldn't have happened."

His fault? What was his fault? I remember being in the car with Terra, driving to our usual place, and then... I... It...It all happened so fast. The light turned red, he stopped, then he looked over and talked to me, right before the other car swerved into our lane after speeding through the light... The last thing I saw was Terra's face turned toward me. The last thing I heard was a crash then Terra's scream. The last thing I felt were his hands trying to grab mine, but that couldn't stop the damage that the crash had done on us.

But that wasn't his fault! It's not your fault! I struggled to scream, but again silence. I wanted to reassure Terra, to let him know it's ok, but my body wouldn't let me.

"Sir, visiting hours are over." who was that? It sounded like a woman's voice. And what was that about visiting hours?

"Can't I stay with him a little longer?" I felt Terra squeeze my hand tighter. Please don't go

"You ask every time, but the answer is still no, Sorry Sir." I heard Terra sigh as the woman apologized again. She left the room and I felt Terra's warm hand move from my limp hand to my forehead.

"I'll be back tomorrow, ok? I'm sorry Ven. I'll continue to come until you wake up." I suddenly realize it. I'm in a hospital, my body is damaged, and I cannot move it. Terra placed a small kiss on my forehead, then he left.

I tried to stop him, but no matter what I tried I couldn't move. If my body would allow me to cry, I would. Terra, come back, please. I felt my heart constrict. Someone help... Please...

Suddenly I see a light, and a voice radiated off of it. I reach for it, and I feel warmth washing through my body, giving me hope that maybe I could get out of here.

Hello? I ask, but the voice does not respond. I become desperate for answers.

Who are you? Where is this? But still the voice does not call back to me.

I'm scared, let me out. I plea, tears began sliding down my cheek. So lonely. I need Terra; I need to go back to him.

As I close my eyes, the light engulfs me, and then nothing. Everything went white, a flash and suddenly I open my eyes to an unfamiliar room. It was extremely messy, but I didn't worry about that much, I just wanted to know where I was since it definitely didn't look like a hospital room.

"From a hospital room to an unknown bed room, huh?" as I spoke; I stopped. This isn't my voice. I looked down. This isn't my body either. I frantically ran around the new house to find a mirror. I quickly found one in the bathroom and my eyes widened at what I saw.

I was not in my body. This spiky chestnut hair, this slightly tan skin, these weren't mine. I placed my fingertips on the strange face, hoping it wasn't real, but I felt the slight caress.

"I need to get to Terra." I whispered. I don't understand what's going on, but that was the only clear thought in my mind. I need Terra.

I ran back into the stranger's bed room, looking for something other than pajamas to wear. I quickly found a pair of jeans and a loose T-shirt. It didn't bother me to change the shirt, but I paused before changing the pants. I seriously hope this guy was wearing boxers. I sighed in relief as I felt another garment under the pajama pants. I replaced the pajamas with jeans. I looked around for shoes, and keys if this person had them. I found shoes, and a set of keys hanging next to the door. I also noticed some money on the counter, and since I had no idea where I am...I may need it. I placed the money in my pocket, slipped on the tennis shoes and grabbed the keys before running out.

I looked around once I exited the apartment building. I sighed in relief. I was still in Twilight City, so I could get to Terra's, but I didn't know where in Twilight City I was. I looked around to get the street name before I walked out to the street and quickly called a cab. I needed that in case I had to come back.

As I entered the cab I told the driver Terra's address, and waited patiently. I hope the money I grabbed was enough to cover the fee. "Umm, sir?" I really needed to know something. "Do you know the time?"

"It's two in the morning sir." the man replied groggily.

Two in the morning? Seriously? "Umm thanks" I can't believe it's so late. I really pray that Terra's awake enough to talk, or open his door for that matter. I really need to see him, and let him know it's ok... And ask him why this happened.

"Sir?" I looked up at the driver and noticed we were parked. "We are here."

"Oh I'm sorry, here." I said handing what I owed him. "Keep the change." I added as I exited the car. I wasn't really worried about change right now, and I didn't particularly care either.

I didn't pay attention to the taxi as it drove away. I just ran straight into Terra's apartment building, but I froze as I reached the door. What was I going to say to him? Here I am standing at his doorstep in another person's body! He would probably freak out and think I'm crazy... Or the person whose body I'm in is crazy... Oh hell. I'll go for it anyway.

I nervously knocked on the door, quite loudly may I add. I didn't mean to, but I guess since I was so tense... I just, kind of... Knocked too hard without thinking.

At first I heard nothing. No footsteps, no voice, nothing. I turned a foot to walk away, saddened by failure when a light suddenly turned on and flashed through the bottom of the door. I wanted to run, hide, anything, but I was frozen put. I had to do this no matter how scared I was. I resigned to my fate as the door opened.

"I swear to god, Axel if that's you I'm goi-" Terra stopped his threat when he noticed it wasn't the annoying red head at his door, but me, his frie- well a complete stranger right now. Since he wasn't expected to be woken up so suddenly all he wore was a pair of sweat pants, showing off his tan and muscled chest. Although I was too nervous to even think of checking him out. Thank god too. It doesn't really know that I think of him as more than a friend. "Umm... Hello?" he said after lifting an eyebrow.

I opened my mouth to talk, but I didn't know what to say. I hadn't really planed this out. I just let my feelings guide me. Guess that was a mistake. "Hi." was the only thing that could come out of my mouth. I looked down at the ground. I can't believe I just woke Terra up in the middle of the night and showed at as some stranger.

"Yeah... Umm... Wait, I know you." Terra said in realization. Oh god! Maybe he recognized me! Under this body he could see it's me. "You're... Sora! That's right! I ran into you at the hospital once. You were visiting Riku." Dejected.

"uh...yeah.." I decided to play along for now; I shouldn't just thrust reality onto him, no matter how much I wanted to. And I was kind of glad that he actually recognized this person, so I wasn't some random guy off the street. "Can I come in? I wanna... Ask you something." yeah, that was vague enough to convince him.

"Sure, come on in." he said confused, but I was thankful that his good nature couldn't turn me away. I cautiously walked into Terra's apartment, pretending that I had never been there before, and didn't recognize anything. Even though I knew it like the back of my hand. "So what's up? What did you need to ask me?"

"Well... This is uhhh... Jeez." I looked down at the floor ignoring my friend who was grabbing a cup of water. Maybe I should try and make reality subtle. "Do you believe in strange occurrences?" Alright! Good start!

The brunette blinked at me after taking a drink. "I guess it depends." Ok, that was a step in the right direction. "I kinda believe in miracles... Since I guess I'm waiting for one." he said with a solemn look. What kind of miracle is he waiting for? Did it have to do with me?

I bit my lip. "So, if I said something happened that was close to a...umm...miracle?" Alright, it's all or nothing now. I can do this!

Terra cocked his head to the side while closing his arms. He was eyeing me suspiciously, but was curious. "Like what?"

Here I go. With shaky steps, I approached Terra until I was right in front of him. I let out a nervous breath and looked up at him. "It's me Terra, it's Ventus"

His face froze. It contorted from confused, to angry, to upset, and other emotions that I couldn't even figure out. He stared down at the eyes of an unknown- yet completely familiar- person. He looked like he was about to call me crazy, but he just closed his eyes and turned away.

"Please, just leave." He sounded so hurt. Maybe he thought I was joking with him, playing with his emotions.

"Terra, please believe me." I tried, I don't know what I would do if my own best friend didn't believe me.

Terra placed his head in his hands. "Please! Just go!" he yelled, but I refused to leave until I showed him I was ok and alive! Well, close enough to that.

"No!" I screamed back which forced to turn around and look back at me. "I'm not leaving! It's me Terra! I can prove it!" I continued, tears almost about to fall from my eyes. "You have a scar on the bottom of your foot!" I blurted out. It sounded kind of stalkerish from Sora's mouth, but I knew this would help him believe him. He just blinked and stayed quiet. "It happened when you were fourteen and I was twelve." my voice became a little softer when recalling the incident. "We were walking home and you wanted to check out the bookstore, and I'm not really fond of all the quiet in bookstores so I sat outside. And... Vanitas was there and he tried to get me to go with him, and I told him 'Hell no!', but he had a knife, and I was scared." I looked down at the floor trying to calm myself, this memory was not pleasant. "So he took me into an alleyway... And touched me... But he couldn't get too far because you came to help me, and when you tried to kick him he sliced at your foot." I glanced back up at Terra who was staring at me, angry at remembering that time, but there was another emotion in his eyes that I could not translate. "I'm glad you were there to help me."

Suddenly two arms were wrapped around me, and I blinked. "Terra?"

I only heard him whisper one thing. "Ventus, Ventus, Ven..." he kept repeating my name as if I was going to disappear again. I hugged him back just as tight to reassure that I was here.

"Terra." I silently sobbed. God, I'm so happy right now. He believed me. I pulled away and wiped some of the tears away. "Well... This is a strange umm moment." I said with a smile, trying to lighten the mood.

He laughed lightly. "Yeah... Sure is..." he gently placed his hand on my cheek, which caused he to blush. He had never really been this touchy-feely before. Well he was, but it was only once in a while. "I'm just happy you're alive..."

I placed my own hand over his. "Yeah, me too, but this body isn't mine..." I looked down, then back up at Terra with a cheeky grin.

"Yeah... That is a problem, although how to fix it... I'm not quite sure." He was worried, and I could tell. It's not like I could keep Sora's body... That's just wrong.

I sighed. "I was hoping you could help, but I guess not."

Terra rolled his eyes then ruffled my hair, like he used to. Just that little gesture could reassure me after anything. "You needed someone to help you get through this, and here I am, even if I don't have the solution."

"I guess that's true." I smiled up at him, but then he yawned. "Oh... Sorry. You're tiered aren't you? I mean, I woke you up in the middle of the night and stuff..." I said, backing away to leave, but he grabbed me by the wrist.

"Yeah, but I don't want you to go. I just got you back." I blushed slightly. That sentence almost sounded like the way lovers would talk. Oh man, I was letting my mind wonder again. I was his best friend and he was happy to see me, that's it.

I shook my head. "I would, but I gotta get Sora back to his house..." this wasn't my body and I had to put it back where I found it in case he came back.

The brunette frowned. "Yeah you're right." he let go of my wrist. "I'll drive you home." he stated while grabbing a jacket, shoes, and his keys.

"No, you have work tomorrow." I said, trying to get him to stay home. I wasn't about to jeopardize his job.

"Fuck work, you're more important." he smiled and escorted me out the door. Ok, my face was definitely super red after that. He was treating me as his number one priority. That set off fireworks in my heart, but it also hurt slightly. This made me get my hopes up, and I hated being let down.

As we got into his car, I tried to pay attention to where we were going so that I could give Terra directions, and we wouldn't get lost. When we arrived at the apartment building, my best friend also insisted on walking me to the apartment door, in case this wasn't the right building. I let out a sigh of relief when the door clicked and opened after I unlocked it. I'm glad my memory wasn't failing me. I turned back to Terra and bit my lip. "Well... Guess... Uhh this is it..." I mumbled.

"Yeah." he scratched the back of his head. "I should go..." he turned to leave, but this time I grabbed his arm. He looked back at me curiously.

"I... Umm don't want to be alone." that was the truth. After being in that darkness for so long, I didn't want to go back. It was horrible, worse than my worst nightmare.

Terra smiled warmly and walked into the apartment with me. "Alright, I'll stay." he gave me a small hug.

I hugged back, then pulled away to shut the door. I thought for a second then remembered something. "Uhhh... Can you wait here for a sec?" I asked

He lifted and eyebrow, but shrugged. "Sure."

I ran up the stairs to the bed room and looked around for the PJ's I had changed out of. Again, I don't know what time of person Sora was, but if I woke if with different clothes on then what I fell asleep in, I would be freaked out. I don't really know if Sora will come back or not, but I wasn't going to risk it. I quickly changed back and looked for some paper. I needed to leave this guy a note

On the desk I noticed a journal. I picked it up and noticed it was almost like a diary. Little girly, but hey I don't judge. It was probably something he would look at when he got up, which is good. I skipped all the entries, not wanting to read his personal thoughts, and opened up to the first blank page. I checked around for a pen and saw one on the desk. I grabbed and started scribbling what I needed to say.

When I was done, I set the journal back where I found it and ran back down the stairs to Terra, who was curiously looking around the apartment. "Alright, all good."

The brunette put his attention back on me and smiled. "Took you long enough."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, come one, I'm tiered." I motioned him to follow me upstairs to the bed room, were I flopped right down on the bed.

Terra hesitated. "I think it would be better if I slept on the couch.." he was about to leave until I yelled.

"Wait!" The brunette blinked in surprised as he turned back around. "I don't want to be alone..." yeah, I was afraid. So sue me.

"Alright." he gave me reassuring look as he climbed onto the bed and snuggled in with his arms around me. "I'll stay."

I breathed out a sigh of relief and with that I fell asleep in his arms.

A: Oh no! How are they going to deal with this? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN! XD GAHHH!
