The Key to my Heart

Chapter Fourteen

Hey guys. I just wanted to formally apologize for the horrible formatting I've been using for this book. I changed that with this part though. It's now easier to read.

I also wanted to apologize for my cringy writing. I was re-reading this book and I could have definitely tried harder. I'm sorry for that. But you guys seemed to enjoy it regardless.

But I made sure this chapter was more detailed and more deep. I tried hard to make this chapter better than the others.

I hope you like this.

Riku's POV

Today's the day that Sora wakes up. It's been four long years since the day I killed him... since the day Ansem killed him.

I stayed in the organization to keep Xemnas happy. I'm not sure why, but he never found out about Sora's death.

I finished my mission for the day, then I met up with Axel and Roxas. It's time to go see Sora.

"How are you feeling?" Axel asked me.

I sighed, crossing my arms. "To be honest... I'm nervous... I don't know if I can face him."

Axel nodded understandingly.

"I didn't kill him... but my body did... Sora doesn't know it wasn't me." I added sadly.

"Don't worry Riku... from what I know about Sora, he won't be mad. He'll understand once you tell him everything." Roxas said.

I nodded. "You're right. Sora's always like that." I said, smiling to myself.

We all went silent for a bit. I couldn't stop thinking back to when I hurt him. I can't remember killing him, but I remember everything before Ansem took over.
I remember trying so hard to make him hate me. I hated doing that. I never wanted him to hate me. But I had to make him hate me or else he wouldn't stop coming after me. I had to do whatever I could to protect Sora from Xemnas.

"Are you ready?" Axel asked me.

I broke out of my thoughts and nodded at him.

Sora's POV

"Sora..."

My eyes slowly opened, brightness blinding me. I didn't like the sudden intrusion. I haven't seen light in a while. Only darkness. I shut my eyes and rested again. This happens to me sometimes. I would randomly see a bright light that would blind me. I don't know why that happens...

I've been laying here in darkness for as long as I can remember. I think it's been a month... or a year... or more then a year... time doesn't exist here. I can't move, speak, or talk. The only thing I can do is stare. Stare at never ending darkness. I can't feel, breathe, or smell... I don't even think my heart is beating... I can't feel it.

I'm left here with my thoughts. My lonely, sad, and scary thoughts. My mind always brings me back to Riku... But it's never good things... I always think back to when he hurt me... to when he stabbed me and killed me... I don't think he loves me anymore. He's probably happy without me around. He's probably glad I'm dead.

I want to cry... I want to sob and let out every single thing I feel. But I can't. I can't move. I don't even think I have a body. I can't move my head to look and see if I do.

I wish this was over.

"Sora..."

Brightness blinded me again. This time it was more bright, sort of like I was seeing something. An image.
