Childhood Stories I wrote (4th-6th Grade)

Chapter 9- Once Upon a Dream, Once Upon a Worse Reality

They were having a good time outside.
Kadaj saw someone he found familiar walking up, from behind Cloud, before he could say anything, he heard Cloud scream, and he saw the tip of a blade, poking through Cloud's clothing. It was a woman that stabbed him. She pushed Cloud to the ground, and held the knife in him, and she said loudly,"that's for revenge on wrecking my reward... My son will die because of you!"
Kadaj kicked her off of Cloud, and he pulled the knife out of Cloud, and held it to her throat. He said,"who is your son... If you give me an answer... I will let you relieve stress on me!"
"Xavier Valentine! He's dying!" She cried.
Kadaj all of a sudden had a look of worry in his eyes, and he muttered,"he was my friend... Where is he..?"
She looked into his eyes, and stammered,"the... Hospital... He's dying.."
Kadaj got off of her, and he turned away, and said,"Sethirene! Save Cloud... I'm going to save Xavier!"

He was at the hospital, and no one was at the counter. He search through papers, and found what room Xavier's was in. He ran to that room, but before he got in, his neck was grabbed by a doctor. He struggled, and muttered,"I-I need to save him... Xavier... Let me go...he's going to die!"
The doctor raised Kadaj into the air, and he asked,"are you still wanted?"
"No!" Kadaj shouted weakly.
The doctor dropped him.
Kadaj ran into the room, and saw Xavier. He was unconscious, but still breathed. Kadaj picked him up, and he shouted his name, and he said,"wake up! Wake up! Xavier! Wake up!"
His eyes never opened.
Kadaj ran out with him in his arms, and he ran to Cloud's house.
"Get him to the lab...! He's going to die!" Kadaj panicked, and handed him to miss Kiraha.
She nodded.

At the lab. Kadaj was following them in, but as he ran past a corner, it felt like a hand covered his mouth, and choked him, and two others holding his waist. He struggled, as he saw himself being dragged out of the lab, and he saw it getting further and further away. He didn't know who was doing it. Kadaj felt the hands holding him, replace with ropes, and ropes around his feet, and a cloth around his mouth. He tried to scream, but he heard a voice he recognized... Someone he thought he killed. "Kadaj... You thought I was dead?... That scientist doesn't know anything... I won't kill any of them, but you will suffer colossal pain... You won't return in for about... Hmm... Six months?"
Kadaj was shocked. Six months in torture? Colossal torture? He saw no one coming after him, but before he panicked, he thought,'I will be saved... Miss Kiraha can see my thoughts...I can send a message!'
He got interrupted in thought, to what it felt like a knife being stabbed into him. He looked down, and saw someone holding a knife in him. He fell unconscious.

He opened his eyes. He noticed he was in a bed, not tied up, but he heard crying and muttering. It sounded like miss Kiraha. Was all the violence, and horribleness, all a dream? He saw Yazoo trying to comfort her. She said what he heard, or thought he heard. Kadaj never said, what he thought he said, when he thought he woke up. Instead he said,"quiet down... My head hurts..."
Sethirene saw he was awake, and she jumped up onto the bed, and hugged him. She felt his shirt, and it was damp. She looked at it, and asked,"how badly do you drool?"
He looked down, and felt it, and he said,"I don't... Wait...what's that smell..."
He all of a sudden felt a jolt of pain. He lifted his shirt up, and saw a cut beneath his chest, it was deep, and bleeding. He gasped, and held it with his hand, and he said,"what's the cause of this... Who hurt me?"
He breathed heavily, and laid down. Sethirene laid beside him, holding his wound, and she said,"if it was someone... They were invisible... What if my old master...is still alive?"
Miss Kiraha got beside him, and she cried to him, saying,"I caused your nightmares... I was wrong...my master is still alive... He wants you alone...in a different place... You would get hurt..." She pulled Kadaj up, and made it, so he would be looking over her shoulder. "Kadaj... Don't go anywhere without me guiding you... He already struck once...I don't want it to happen again..." She felt a tear from Kadaj soak to her shoulder. "I'll try my hardest to protect you... I'll treat you, as if you were my own... For the time being... Hide..."
He didn't know what to say... He's never come across someone as kindhearted as her before. He heard foot steps from in the room, but no one was walking. Before he could say anything, he was covered with the blanket, and the pillow over his head. He was positive she was on top of him, trying her best to protect him. He heard the sound of a gunshot, and he felt something warm and wet, soak through his clothes. He heard the steps get further, than he heard a scream. "Miss Kiraha!"
Kadaj struggled his way out from under everything, and he saw blood stains on her white clothing, and it slowly getting bigger. Sethirene held her wound, and Kadaj held her up, crying. She lost a lot of blood. Her wound was healed, but she wouldn't wake up. Kadaj shook her, and checked her pulse every thirty seconds. If she were more human than he was, she'd die more easily, but her pulse never changed.
Kadaj would never leave room, nor lay down. Was was worried about her. She was the most nine scientist ever, even nicer than Sethirene was. He didn't want the bad scientists to kill her.

She woke up. Kadaj felt relived to see she was awake. He gave her a one arm hug, and he said,"I thought you would've died!"
She sighed, and said,"oh child... You really are a dear... I will always cherish you."
She kissed him on his forehead, and she said,"stay safe... They're back again..."
Kadaj looked at her, his expression saddened, and he muttered,"don't leave... You are the nicest ever... I won't let them kill you!"
She took his face into her hands, and kissed his forehead again, and she whispered,"I won't let them hurt you... Live long my child...these should be my last words... Goodbye."
She was fading. Before she disappeared, Kadaj cried,"give me a death wish!"
She faintly spoke,"I wish for you to live long, and not get hurt... Goodbye child..."

Kadaj opened his eyes, and saw miss Kiraha standing in front on the bed shielding him, and she said,"you heard me! Kadaj, stay down! Let them kill me! Cherish, and respect my death wish! Make it true! Get out of here!"
Kadaj tried to touch her one last time, and as he reached, he grabbed hold of her clothing, but Sethirene and Yazoo held him away from her. He felt her jerk backwards, and he saw blood fly. He screamed,"Noooooooo!"
He heard the invisible people leave. Sethirene and Yazoo let go of him. They all cried. Kadaj got down by her, and looked at all the wound, and he screamed again, seeing it tore through her heart. He heard her voice, and saw her in his mind for a few more seconds. He heard her say,"live long young child... Make my wish true... Goodbye."
His mind flashed with white, and he saw everything. He looked back down at her dead body, and though she was dead, he wrapped bandages over top of her clothing, and he cried,"let's get to Cloud's place... We can respect her death thoroughly."
He picked her bloodied body up, and he walked out of the room.

Crying the entire way to the village, they finally got there.
Kadaj knocked on the door, and Cloud answered, and he gasped,"what the hell happened!? Wasn't she the one that came with you, last time you came?!"
Kadaj nodded, and cried,"I want to give all respect to her death...! Sethirene couldn't heal her, cause the blade tore through her heart!"
Cloud nodded, and said,"we can have a funeral for her... I'm sorry about it..."
Kadaj laid her on the ground for a minute, and gave Cloud the tightest hug ever. He had to obey her wish... He cherished her, like Cloud cherished Aerith. He let go of Cloud, and picked her back up, and asked,"where do we go?"
Cloud thought for a moment, and then he said,"we can pray, and honour her death... At the church..."
Kadaj shook his head, and his said just above a whisper,"a special place we could honour her... A place no one goes to..."
Cloud sighed, and looked at him, and said,"how about the forest...? Or my yard?"
"The forgotten city.... That place would be perfect...." He said softly, and sadly.
Cloud thought that was a fine idea, since that is where he honoured Aerith's death. He went behind Kadaj's back, and he rubbed it mildly, and he asked,"wanna do it now? Or later?"
Kadaj cried,"now... I will have to return... Otherwise die... Let's go..."

Kadaj got onto a raft that led out into the water, carrying her body, and he was followed by the others. He tried to make up the best speech he could, and he said,"to honour the death of a friend. The death of a immortal... The death of a hero... Her kindness... Her feelings.. The ways she cared for us..." He started to cry mildly. "She wanted to protect me, and us... They didn't care for her life... So that's why... So that's why... That's why... I'm saying goodbye!"
He leaned over on the raft, and laid her body nicely out on the water, and he said softly as he released her,"help me... Help me be strong, and happy... Miss Kiraha... Goodbye."
He let go of her body completely, and she sunk down, to the bottom.
He got back got he shore, and he cried, and screamed, and nearly threw a tantrum. He calmed himself, and fell motionless to the ground.
Sethirene ran up to him, and shook him, and she tried everything to wake him up, but Cloud walked over to her, and said,"nothing you do will work... He's overwhelmed."
