well that's ok since the chappy you have been waiting for is here!
Chapter 4:Impossibility
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
My mind went blank. I really didn’t know what to think anymore. Before I would have freaked at the sight of the scar, but lately I have been through so many disturbing things, this one seemed minor. I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror. Who was I turning into? Some kind of insomniac? I mean anymore I won’t be able to go to sleep, afraid I might get hurt or killed. I let out a sigh of frustration and put my shirt back on.
Going back out to the bridge, I saw that Goofy had fallen asleep, typical.
“We’ll be in Hollow Baston in a couple of minutes, Sora.” Donald stated. I gave him a pat on the back for pretty much flying the ship by himself. I looked back over at Goofy and realized that he was drooling all over the controls. Memo to self, clean the controls before helping out Donald land this thing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally we arrived in Hollow Baston. I jumped out of the ship and stretched. Maybe now I would get some answers and if not, at least I would get to see some old friends. As we walked to the front gate to the enormous castle, Goofy stopped me.
“You know Sora, no matter what happens or what your going through, we’ll stick with you till the end.” I felt tears starting to come to my eyes. I had become such a crybaby lately. So instead of letting them see me cry I ran forward I little bit, keeping my back to them, with my hands place behind my head.
“Thanks you guys,” I chocked out. “I hope I can repay you someday, for all the things you’ve done for me.” I turned and smiled the biggest smile I could possibly make. They laughed and in turn so did I. I turned back to the gate, hesitating a little. Did I really want to know what these dreams meant or was I destined to know? Either way I was about to find out.
I pushed the doors open. Heartless hadn’t been in this castle for a long time but it still gave me the creeps. I mean this is where I lost my heart but I regained it with Kairi’s help.
“Hello? It’s me, Sora ” My voice echoed through out the halls and passageways. I waited for a moment, hoping they were still here, and alive.
“In the library Sora ” I sighed in relief. I walked over to the library to find Leon leaning against a bookcase, reading a book.
“Hey Sora, long time no see.” Leon always made me laugh. I mean he wasn’t trying to be funny but he always said everything in such a serious tone, you had to wonder sometimes if he even knew the definition of funny.
“Yeah I know. Actually Leon, I came here with a problem. Could you gather everyone in here so I don’t have to tell my story more than once?” Leon looked at me with a puzzled look on his face.
He shrugged, “Alright, just give me a couple of minutes.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They all had gathered, Aerith, Cloud, and even Yuffie. I had to remind myself that Yuffie was a ninja not a nurse, thinking back to the nightmare that started all of this. I explained my problem to the group, each of them listening closely. By the end of the story Leon looked confused, Cloud’s expression hadn’t changed, Aerith looked at me in disbelief, and Yuffie laughed hysterically. That made me feel great.
“So....so....you’re trying to tell me that you think there are two realities. Oh my God that’s the funniest thing I have ever heard ” Yuffie fell to her knees, laughing with tears comming to her eyes. Everyone gave her the same look, are you really that retarded?
“What? Oh come on he has to be joking. This is Sora we’re talking about. The most stable one out of all of us.” She looked at me and I turned my eyes to the floor, embarrassed.
“Oh, I’m so sorry Sora, I thought you were only joshing.” She had a look of sincerity on her face but the damage was already done.
“No your right, it was stupid, see you guys later.” I stormed out of there in a raging fury. When I got outside I lashed out with my keyblade at a nearby statue. It shattered into a million pieces.
“How stupid am I. How could they ever understand?” My body sunk to the ground. I put my head in my knees. I was trying to calm down but I just couldn’t. Suddenly I hear footsteps come running towards me.
“Sora!” Leon yelled. He came up behind me, putting his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath.
“Yuffie didn’t mean to be cruel, it’s just when she gets scared she tries to make a joke. She didn’t mean to make you mad. Please forgive her.” I had to think about it for a while. She did try to make light of things when Leon first told me about the dangers of being a keyblade wielder. I understood now, but I felt even more foolish.
“I should be the one to apologize. I should have known. I mean if I was in her situation, I would have done the same thing.” Leon shook his head at me. I looked at him. He always knew what to say when I wasn’t sure of myself or wanted me to realize something.
“Come on Sora, lets go figure out how to solve your problem.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Ok so we know that lately you have been having these weird dreams.” I shook my head in a yes motion at Cloud’s statement.
“Yet the real question is why are you having these dreams.” We all just looked around the library in thought.
“Oh, remember that Kairi and Riku warned you of not trusting something you trusted. What do you think they’re talking about?” questioned Aerith. That was a good question. What did I trust so dearly that I would never question it’s authority. Then it dawned on me.
“What if they were talking about an ideal I had. Not something or someone I actually know but something I thought was true but wasn’t.”
“It could be a possibility. Truths we hold in our mind are things we treasure most.” said Cloud. But what was this truth that I held so dearly in my heart?
“Oh my God! The only truth I hold that close is the thought that Kairi is ok!” My mind started to race. I had to leave right away. I couldn’t live without her!
“Calm down Sora. We have no proof of that theory.” Leon was trying to console me with his words but it wouldn’t work this time.
“We have no time to discuss the details! If Kairi is in danger I need to go, NOW!” I tried to run but Cloud and Leon held me in place. I kept struggling but as soon as I was about to break free, Yuffie slapped me in the face.
“Don’t you dare run out on us! I think you would know if Kairi was in danger. Can you still hear her voice in your heart Sora?” I stopped. My face still stung from the force of her hand but she was right. I could still hear Kairi and that meant she was ok.
“I’m so sorry. It’s just the idea of losing her is....is something I can’t handle right now. She is my only tie to reality.” I looked down at the floor, ashamed at what I had almost done.
“I need to rest. See you guys later.” I turned and headed for the ship.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I opened the doors to go outside to the ship to rest, I realized that it was nighttime. I had never been in Hollow Baston at night. I also noticed a slight fog. I shrugged and tried to feel my way through the fog. Before I could take another step, a force stopped me from moving forward. Instincts told me that something was wrong. I summoned my keyblade and prepared for an attack. In front of me the fog started to clear. I squinted to see if my enemy was the one causing the fog. As soon as I saw who was in front of my very eyes, my mouth went dry. I let the keyblade fall to the ground and I fell to my knees. Why was all of this happening? There in front of me was Riku, with soul eater in hand.
