Dreams.

Darkness. Everywhere where he laid his eyes on was dark. Slowly he walked further and met the sea. It was blood red and there came soft screams from beneath it. The brunette stared a few minutes into the distant and could hear the rumbles of upcoming thunderclouds. He blinked a few times with his sadden eyes and then he continued his way. The sand where he was walking on were covered with puddles of red blood, followed with the scent of death. Tears streamed down the little one's face and he fell on his knees…

Sora's eyes shot open while he felt how sweat was streaming down his face. He quickly looked around and noticed that he was lying in his bed. Did he had a nightmare? He sat up and removed some sweat off his forehead. With a sigh he stepped out of the bed and stood still before a mirror. He had black / purple rings beneath his eyes and his cheeks were all red. When he carefully touched his forehead he could feel how hot he was.

This was the third time in a week he had this nightmare. He would walk around the island bathed in darkness, while the sea was as red as blood.
The youth had no idea why he had those dreams. He stopped watching scaring movies ages ago, so that couldn't be a trigger.

Right now he was too scared to sleep so he decided to go to the little island where he, Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, Kairi and Riku supposed to hang out. It was really fun out there. Always great weather, and the view was beautiful when the sun began to set.

So in the middle of the night he left the house, carefully not to wake his parents. He took his little fishermen boat and made his way to the deserted island.
When he arrived he stepped out and stared to the big tree that stood before him. Memories of the bad dream filled his head once more. In his dream he saw the tree stained with blood, but here it looked normal. Even the sea had its normal color; blue. But now it was black because it was nighttime.
He smiled dimly and headed to the secret place. It was the place that only he, Kairi and Riku knew from. The three would always play out there; creating drawings, play hide and seek.
However, a few weeks ago Riku found a strange door that they had never seen before. It just appeared from out of nowhere.
Of course they were curious and tried to open it, but it would never budge. So after that day they decided to ignore it, that was probably for the best. But to be honest, those bad dreams began after the discovery.

Sora touched the door with his hand and kept staring towards it. What was behind that door? Was there a stair that would take you down somewhere? No that was not possible, because he and Riku knew every inch of the island and never found a clue about a stair or something like that.

The youth turned around and sat with his back against the door. He simply sat there, thinking and trying to stay awake. He was afraid that if he fell asleep he would get the same dream over and over again.

However a few hours later, the youth fell into a peaceful sleep.

" Sora! Wake up dummy! "


The youth opened slowly his eyes and met the big brown eyes of Kairi. She curled her lips into a smile and kneeled in front of him.


" What are you doing out here? Your mom is worried sick about you, she thought that someone kidnapped you when your bed was empty "


" Really " He replied a little uninterested.


" Yeah! " She giggled. " You are lazy! Always sleeping, and now you're early! Did something happen? "


Of course Sora wanted to tell her about that dream, but when he met those eyes he decided not to do it. Why would he tell anyone about his bad dreams? Dreams are dreams, nothing more.


" I just couldn't sleep… "


" Are you sure? You have huge black rings under your eyes and that tells me your not getting enough sleep "


Why wouldn't she leave him alone?

Just when he wanted to tell her to shut up, they heard a familiar voice.


" Sora? Kairi? Are you two here? "


A youth with platinum hair entered the secret place while he carried a big fish over his shoulder.


" It's time for sparring Sora, are you willing to take up my challenge? "

Sora looked up and saw the smiling face of his best friend. Maybe that sparring would help a little.


" All right " He answered.


Riku threw him his wooden swords and together they left the cave. Kairi stayed behind, said that she wanted to draw on the cave walls some more.

After a few minutes they stood on the small island with the three trees. It was Riku's favorite spot, he always used to sit in the trees and tell Sora stories what he would do when he grew up.

They jumped forwards and their swords met each other. Of course Riku's sword was much stronger because it was made from metal. But Sora was a lot faster. But when the platinum haired youth wanted to cut Sora, the little brunette ducked and kicked against Riku's legs. Riku fell with a loud bang on the ground and the brunette couldn't keep himself from laughing softly. This happened sometime and most of the time Riku joined the laugh. But this time he stood up with an angered look; his eyes met Sora's. The little one's heart almost skipped a beat when he saw the eyes of his best friend. They were blood red, just as red as the sea in his dreams.


" Sora? Is something the matter? "


Sora blinked a few times with his eyes and saw the natural blue eyes of Riku, staring worried into his direction. He dropped the wooden sword and sat down in the sand.
Why wouldn't those bad dreams stop? What did he do to deserve that?


" Yeah, I'm fine. It's just a little hot outside; I think that's too much for me… "


" Really… " Began Riku, not buying his answer.


" Then tell me; why are you acting so weird? This isn't like you Sora. Running away in the dark to the island, sleeping in the secret spot! Everyone on the island is worried about you! "


" Really? " Sighed Sora.


" Really " Answered Riku back.


The brunette looked up and saw how the clouds were drifting away in the sky. A soft breeze was playing with his hair and tickled his red cheeks.


" I'm fine… " Murmured Sora.


" Just… fine…. " Said the brunette before passing out.


Riku ran as quick as he could to his friend and touched his forehead.


" Sora! You have a high fever! Damn! I have to bring him to his house!! "
