Let's Stay Together
Characters: Sora and Xion
Date: January 22nd, after this
Summary: After Echidna's warning shakes them up, Xion decides to take Sora up on her offer to stay in the treehouse.
Warnings: Possibly gratuitous cute, some angst and a lot of guilt?
The treehouse is nice and comfortable. The summer area of the Gardens reminds her of home and its tropical heat, and it's much nicer than the cooler spring areas. But nothing that usually comforts her is doing that now. The warning... It stirs up too many bad memories of that night. She remembers especially when Riku reached out for her, and there was the dark.
Oh, she really remembers that. She clutches her crown necklace, shuddering as she sits there on the balcony of her treehouse. The memories continue to flood her mind. Sky blue eyes flutter shut, and she just recalls it all--everything that warning brings up. "To your vulgar Citizens now I say I own your hearts!"
She can feel it. Darkness, reaching like claws into her chest and searching for something, smothering the light, ripping her apart-- But she forces the thoughts from her mind. She won't be alone here soon. Xion's coming. And then, she won't have to worry. And maybe, just maybe... She'll be able to learn how to use the key that she summons to her hand.
