“Sora, drive faster, goddammit!”
“Shit, Riku, I’m going as fast as I can!”
“You need to go faster!”
“Oh my God, will you just chill?! I’m going eighty miles per hour here!”
He tried to calm down, he really did, but he just couldn’t. One of his friends was in danger and the girl she held dear to her heart was hurt as well. They had to get them out of there! They had to save them from- “That motherfucking asshole!”
Sora drove out of the lane with Riku’s sudden outburst, almost crashing against a palm tree- which would’ve been ironic and hilarious if it weren’t for their whole situation. “Geez, man, don’t scare me like that!”
“I’m sorry, okay? It’s just...”
“I know, Riku, I know.”
They finally, finally arrived at Alicia’s house after ten minutes of being unable to do anything. He certainly felt those minutes like hours, but he wasn’t about to say anything when they were already there. They got out of the car and Riku was about to kick down the front door when Sora stopped him. “What are you doing, Sor? We have to move, now!” He didn’t say anything. He just summoned his keyblade and gave Riku a look that somehow said that he was dumb if he thought to go in there unarmed and unprepared. Nodding in understanding Riku summoned Way to Dawn and then proceeded to do what he originally wanted to.
“Alex! Where the hell are you?”
A low growl came as an answer but nothing appeared, no one showed up. Then they quietly moved as one in search for clues. They found it in the kitchen, directly in front of the patio doors. A small pool of blood could be seen from where they stood, and it trailed all the way to the garden.
“Shit, maybe he already-?”
“Sora, don’t.”
Riku was not about to hear it, he was not going to give up. And Sora was such a positive guy. Hearing him say something like that could damage his own weakening optimism.
Crouching near the blood he scanned it like he’d seen cops do on television shows, but that was only to calm his awakening nerves. There was just so much blood in that little puddle. It was very hard to discern where the girl had been hit or hurt. He looked up when the blood didn’t give him answers and scanned the garden. There was no one to be seen out there, but he might as well take Sora with him and check it out.
A loud knock interrupted his debate. They both jumped a mile in the air but got their weapons ready nonetheless, making sure to keep quiet least they betray their positions.
Another knock. “Sora! Where are you? Selphie called, and I saw your car is parked out there and- Oh God!”
Why in the world had Selphie called Kairi for? Oh wait, yeah, he guessed she was looking for help wherever she could. She probably even thought that the more people she called the better.
Sora walked straight to her and comforted her under the circumstances, which meant he kept things short and sweet. “Get your keyblade out, we’ll need all the help we can get.”
“But Sor, I barely fight.” They should have taught her to do so, that way she wouldn’t be as defenseless as she actually was.
“It doesn’t matter, Kai. As long as you hit them hard if they come at you, everything will be fine.”
