Just A Dream...? Book 2 (Kingdom Hearts) (Finished)

Trials

By the time Kaylee had woken up, Ven was still trying to find a way out. She sat up, her head throbbing. She rubbed the back of it, but that made the pain only worse. So she winced, then stopped and let her hand go limp on the floor. "V-Ven?" She croaked. Her throat was very dry, she needed some water.

Ven angrily kicked the wall in front of him and turned his head toward her. "We're stuck." He said sadly. He closed his eyes and shook his head. "I can't find a way out...." He bowed his head.

Kaylee weakly coughed. "Ven..." She croaked again. "Water..."

Ven looked up at her, then rushed over. He knelt down and made her open her mouth. Kaylee did as she was told and let Ven look into her throat. He squinted, seeing that all she did really need was water. He sighed with relief, at first, he thought that she had a fever or something, but apparently not. "There is no water around here." Ven told her. "We've been in here for a good four hours and there's no water!!"

Kaylee closed her mouth and looked down, wincing again as he head throbbed once more. Ven stood up and threw his head back. "YO! We need water!!!!!!"

A portal suddenly opened, which made Ven jump back so he was standing directly in front of Kaylee. He glared at the portal as an Organization member stepped out of it. When they saw Ven's expression, they gasped and took a step back. "Calm yourself!" He exclaimed, taking his hood off.

Ven lifted an eyebrow. "And you are....?"

The very skinny member laughed and shoved his thumb at his chest. "I'm Demyx. Anyway," He waved his hand to dismiss Ven's next question when he opened his mouth, "You need water, so here it is!" He took a large bowl from his back and showed to Ven that it was empty. Then he wiggled his fingers over the bowl, and water suddenly appeared from his fingers, and inside the bowl. Demyx dropped the bowl to the floor right at his own feet. "Enjoy!" He said as he waved to them. 

Ven took a few steps forward. "Wait!" He called out as his hand reached out toward him.

Demyx made a portal and quickly ran inside and closed it before Ven could catch up. When Ven reached the spot where Demyx was just at, he fell to his knees. "No...." He whispered, shaking his head. "We need to get out!"

Kaylee looked at the water and got herself up on her knees. She then began to scoot over to the bowl. Ven heard her and turned himself around. "Oh Kaylee! Get back to the wall, okay?"

Kaylee stopped dead in her tracks, staring at the bowl. Ven got up and grabbed the bowl before he helped Kaylee lean against the wall again. He pressed the edge of the bowl to her lips and tilted it upward, letting her drink some. After a few gulps she pushed it away and coughed a bit. "Thanks." She said, her voice sounding a bit happier than it was.

Ven smiled, glad to see that she was sounding better. "So how does your head feel?" He asked her.

Kaylee delicately touched the back of her head with one finger, and then she winced. "Horrible." She responded. She let her hand go back down and she blinked at him. "It feels like someone is twisting something sharp in the back of my head."

Ven wrinkled his eyebrows in disgust. "Now that's a pretty picture." He said sarcastically. "Anyway, we really need to find a way out...Like, now."

"Then let me help you."

Kaylee and Ven's head went up, since the voice was coming toward that way. They both saw Roxas floating just a few feet away from them. Ven sighed with relief. "Roxas, please, Kaylee needs help!"

Roxas nodded. "Yea, I know. Just let me release you, then I'll lend my power to Kaylee."

Kaylee tilted her head to the side. "Why are you giving me your power? Doesn't Misty need it?"
