Destined Hearts

Chapter 7: Stories

Emileigh was slightly breathing heavily as she tried to walk. Sora was still unconscious, leaning against her as she still kept her grip on him. He's been out for who knows how long. Emileigh notice his breathing was starting to feel a lot more normal. To her, it felt like he was comatose.

Emileigh sighed as she gently laid Sora against the wall and plopped down in front of him as she was catching her breath.

"This is...the fourth break... I've taken.. " She said to herself as she was catching her breath. Even when Sora was light as a feather, she was still exhausted from carrying him. She got to her knees, and he felt his cheek with the back of her hand. Emileigh sighed as she shook her head.

"How the heck did you get like this Sky...?" Emileigh asked herself as she crossed her legs and sat in front of him. "I mean, I know you told me it's been a while since you last went to another world. But snapping like that at all the Heartless? That's something that...worries me a little."

"The fact that you killed all those heartless using your own fists and feet were...awesome, but...it scared me a little. Scared me about your safety, Scared me about how you were feeling. Scared...about if you attacked me next...That thought just popped into my head.." Emileigh looked down at her prosthetic hand.

"I know we just met not so long ago. But I consider you as my friend. I really care about you a lot Sky. I really do. I don't care if you would try to push me away, I will still be there to keep you safe no matter what you say." She put her hand on Sora's shoulder.

"I'll admit. Not only was I scared, I was also...impressed about that power. Despite it being a little scary, it was still really awesome to watch. I was scared at the thought you would attack me next, but seeing you were willing to help me find my friends, and helping me fight the Heartless...that tells me you would never hurt anyone, even when you just met them. When you just met me."

Emileigh moved her hand to Sora's cheek again.

"I don't know if you can hear me now. But if you can...I want you to know, that I'm so happy you're with me right now." She smiled. "Who knows? Maybe it was fate for us to meet!"

"For someone who doesn't use hand-to-hand combat, you certainly packed a really big punch." Emileigh smiled as she put her hands behind her head. "When you told me to run, you weren't kidding." She then put her hands on her knees.

"Let me tell you something real quick. Whether you can hear me or not...I still want to tell you this." She put her hand on her chest.

"Before I met you, before I found my brother and met my friends...I was friends with someone else, and I still am." She smiled. "He was always there for me. We met at the Olympus Coliseum a long time ago. I mean, I don't know if you know where that is, but I still thought I would tell you."

"Anyway, he had a really powerful darkness in his heart. Darkness of nothing I've ever seen before! When I saw his other...form, I started to get suspicious of him. But despite that, everything still went okay." Emileigh crossed her arms.

"As for how he had that darkness, he said he had a...fractured heart. But even when he had that Darkness in his heart, I still fought beside him. He has control over his Darkness now...but I haven't seen him ever since that happened.." Emileigh closed her eyes as she put her hand on her chest where her heart is.
