Sora's Pov 

S-So...

Huh? 

S-So...ra...

What?

Sora!

My eyes shot open. I slowly sat up, sand falling out of my hair. I looked around the area I used to call home. No one seemed to be in the area. 

Sora!

"Where are you?" I yelled as the wind began to roar. 

Near the shore...

I turned towards the raging sea. The water crashed against the shore line causing an unsettling feeling in my chest. I slowly inched towards the water, every step shakier than the last. 

Closer...

I stopped right in front of the shore line. The water slammed against my bare feet making me shiver. I searched the water to see if I could find the person who was talking to me. 

Closer...

Hesitantly, I walked closer towards the sea. The waves began to crash harder as I got further away from the shore. I gulped and took another step. Suddenly the sea drew back allowing the sand to become visible. I looked down at my feet then towards the ocean. 

Hello Sora...

My eyes widened as I saw a silver haired standing right in front of the wave. We were only a few feet apart. He turned around, laying those beautiful teal green eyes on me. He smiled as I recognized the boy standing before me. 

"Riku?" I asked quietly. He reached his hand out for me. "Riku!" I yelled as I began to run towards him. Just as I took my first step, the wave behind him began to slowly crash down. "No!" I yelled running faster but just as reached my hand out to connect with his, the wave came crashing down on me. I tried to swim towards him but the tides kept pushing me away. 

Don't forget me Sora...

My eyes slowly closed as I stopped fighting the tide. The sea carried me away from him leaving me in a hopeless state of mind. 

Don't forget our promise...

Riku...

Tears left my eyes as I drifted away from him. How could I let this happen? Why did I let this happen? It's all my fault I should've-

No

I furrowed my brow and looked towards the surface. Near it was Riku, still holding his hand out for me. 

No!

Quickly, I began to swim towards him using all my might.

I won't let you leave me again!

I got closer and closer till we were just a small distance away from each other. I smiled and reached for his hand. 

Where do you think your going? 

My eyes widened as a black ooze  suddenly formed around my legs and my arms. It grabbed me with a tight grip, refusing to let me free. I struggled and struggled but nothing seemed to make it let go. Before I knew it I was sinking down, the distance between me and Riku widened. I tried to escape the grasp of the liquid but, it wouldn't let go of me. 

"RIKU!" I yelled. I began struggling frantically, desperately trying to escape its cold grip. Just as I freed my right hand, a hand formed and covered my mouth. I tried to claw it off but, it was no use. 

Riku!

It became harder to breathe and the water felt like silver. Frantically, I tried to get the rest of my body lose from this ooze but, it just kept getting harder to move. I looked back up towards Riku.

No!

I reached my freed hand towards him in desperation. My lungs felt as though they were going to collapse. 

Not again!

Slowly, my eyes closed and my body went limp. All I could feel was nothing but the emptiness that surround the cold sea. I had given into the empty feeling and I let it take over my body. As it wrapped around me, the only thing I could think about was how I let Riku slip away from me.

I'm sorry....Riku...
