Description
Dear you need to wake up.Don't call me dear. I'm not yours.
I'm sorry about that, but you need to wake up.
I'm dead...No there is no need for me to wake up.
Then how do you explain me talking to you?
I-Wait! How are you talking to me?
Open your eyes and you'll see why.
Why should I be trusting you?
It'll be a surprise.
"I love surprises! she shouted as everything in her body woke up. That was a big mistake. Right in front of her was a blinding light. She immediately closed her eyes again as she groaned in pain.
I am dead.
No try again, but slower.
Right, slower.
She inched her eyes opened again, but this time she took caution. Once her eyes began to adjust to the harsh light she was delighted. She wasn't dead at all! The light wasn't the light at the end of the tunnel. She slowly pinched her face to double check. She felt it all right. The small pain. She let go as her eyes began to search her new surroundings. It looked like she was on a big part of the island, two smaller islands off to the side, big trees everywhere, and small shacks or houses off in the distance. It was peaceful. A small smile found her lips as she sat there.
Do you believe in me now?
Who are you?
A friend.
Friend?
Yes, a friend.
I didn't really have friends on my island...Wait! My island?
I'm sorry, but it is gone.
Everything and everyone included?
Yes...
Oh...
So I am the sole survivor of my island. How sad.
She pushed herself up as she slowly began to walk around the water's edge. Her feet felt heavy, as they somewhat obeyed her. She walk only a few feet steady and then her feet would drag behind her...The heavy feeling increased until her feet gave away from under her causing her to fall to the ground with a THUD. The sand rose up like smoke as it settled back down as quickly as it came up. All she could hear was the sound of the waves crashing now against her feet. Her eyes slowly swelled up with tears as they spilled onto the sand.
That's right. I'm the sole survivor of MY Island. I'm the ONLY ONE alive from that terrible night. I'm all alone.
No your not!
I am too! Your just a voice in my head! Nothing more!
She groaned as she got herself back up, but this time she only left herself in a sitting position. She didn't have the strength anymore to stand. Her eyes shifted back to her body. I never checked to see if I'm even badly damaged. She took a quick glance. She only managed to find one small scrape on her arm.
Really? That is all? Just a scrape? I thought that I would be a lot worse.
Her eyes shifted back to the ocean. The ocean apparently liked her if it carried her safely to this island unharmed. In a way she was grateful, but at the same time she wasn't. It only saved her. ONLY her...She couldn't take it anymore. The grief overtook her as she crumbled back down onto the sand in a hunched position. Meanwhile she never heard anyone come near her, but she suddenly heard a voice beside her.
"Are you hurt?"
She looked up as she saw a brown spiky haired boy with blue eyes staring at her. She didn't mean to do this, but it was her first reaction. First reactions are great aren't they? She screamed bloodily murder as she flung herself back in panic. The boy scared out of his wits shrank back to another boy's feet.
When in the world did that other boy come from? When did either one of them come? How long have I been here for?
Her panic was increasing as she saw the other boy stare at her with curiosity.
"Good job Sora. You completely freaked her out."
"I didn't mean to Riku!"
"By the looks of it now I don't think she'll be willing to talk to us..."
She sat there staring at the two boys, Riku and Sora.
What should I do?
Should I even trust them?
Where and who?
I'm scared and so confused. I don't want to be! I want everything back!
"Sora, Riku! What are you two up to?"
She looked past them as she saw a girl approaching them They turned their heads as they heard their names being called.
Okay so by the looks of things they all know each other. That is good...
"Hey, Kairi. Sora found this girl over here."
"Sora found another person here on this island?"
"Yep. Sora also scared her."
"I did not! All I asked was if something was wrong! Then she screamed and I fell back surprised."
"Really now Sora?"
"I promise! That is what happened here!"
"Hey! I never said I was lying here Sora."
"Ah!"
Kairi laughed before she stood in front of the boys looking at me. I wanted to run, but something about her made me feel like jelly all over. Making it impossible to move. All I could do was stare back at her with shifty eyes. Kairi took notice at the shifty eyes as she sat herself down on the sand.
"Kairi, what are you-"
"Your scared, aren't you?"
I sat there still unable to move or form words as she went on staring at me with those...understanding eyes...almost like my mother's eyes. They weren't wavering, nor was her determination.
"You'll have to excuse the boys here. They aren't very good when it comes to helping other people they don't know."
"Kairi!"
"That was rather mean, you know?"
"What? Am I lying here?"
They were silent. A small laugh escape my mouth, but I quickly placed my hand over my mouth. Kairi saw it though. She smiled as she went on.
"They are good people, Riku, Sora, me, and everyone else here on the island. They are all friendlily. I don't remember my parents, home, or family...But I know that this island and everyone here is my home and family. It can be yours too...If you want it to be..."
"I don't have any of those things...now."
Damn it! Why was she so willing to open up when she was talking to her? Why?
Does she remind you of your mother?
"SHUT UP! I DON"T WANT TO HEAR YOU IN MY HEAD ANYMORE!"
I understand, but I'm always here. When the time comes I'll be back.
"...No...No..."
Her body failed her as she curled herself back into a tight ball.
I want everything to go away. What did I ever to deserve this? What did she-
She stopped asking herself questions when she felt warm arms around her gently rocking her. Gently hushing her to be quite. All she could do was literally melt in those arms. Finally she had calmed down. The arms seeing that they have done their job began to let go, but she held onto them.
"It's all right. We don't have to talk right now.."
"...I-I'm sorry. Your name was Kairi?"
"Yes. And the two boys over there you meet a bit earlier. Riku is the one with the sliver hair and Sora is the one with the brown spiky hair."
"I see..."
"Come on."
She didn't know why she allowed it, but those arms felt safe. They DID feel like her mothers. That made her happy and enough to be calm again. It felt right to her. Just like everything would be okay.
"Kairi, what are you going to do with her?"
"I'm taking her home to my house."
"Ah, but we found her!"
She gripped tighter onto Kairi's arm. She smiled.
"Sorry Sora, but I don't thinks she plans to let go of me any time soon. Plus I don't mind."
"Ah, but that isn't fair!"
"Sora, leave it. Knowing you, you'll treat it more like a pet. Instead of a person."
"No I won't!"
"Sora, It's fine. Plus I think my mom will enjoy having another daughter-"
"No!"
Riku and Sora stared at her in confusion, but Kairi didn't. All she did was look at her with worried gentle eyes. She didn't look shocked or anything else. Just worried, gentle, and caring. She needed this. She wanted this.
"I mean, I-I want you to be my mother...Kairi...Please...I-"
"Okay. I will. Would it be okay though if my mother helped out also?"
"...Okay...But I'm only going to be listening to you...Your my mother...Only you..."
"Okay. I promise."
The boys stood there dumbfounded as they watch Kairi take her back home.
