Namine gently brought her left hand off of Roxas' back, moving it to the front of his shoulder instead. She was alright...Sort of. She wasn't terrified that anything was going to happen at that moment, sot hat helped calm her down quite a bit.
I was surprised you stayed on that long. xD Bye!
Namine took in a breath and then released it, her hold on Roxas loosening slightly as she calmed down. No matter how badly the dream had frightened her--no, still frightened her, she had to realize that it could never become a reality.
Namine shut her eyes, hearing Roxas' reassuring words. He didn't even know what was wrong, and yet Namine still believed his promise was true. It was only a dream...Right? It had to have been! He was gone. He could never return...Ever.
Namine stepped forward the moment Roxas opened his arms, the girl wrapping her arms around his back as she returned the embrace. She leaned her head on his shoulder, a long breath leaving her. She finally felt the tears start to disappear, no longer falling due to the safety she felt in Roxas' hug.
Namine lifted her head at the movement, her eyes opening. She bit her lip lightly and met Roxas' eyes, another tear leaving her eye the moment she made eye contact with him. She wanted to stop the tears, but at that moment, she couldn't remember how to do that.
Namine exhaled a silent breath through her nose, her head lowering slightly at Roxas' light touch. It was soothing, and it distracted her from the other things that she didn't want to think about. Her eyes shut partway as she gazed blankly at the ground, a few more tears sliding down her cheeks.
Namine shook her head softly, unable to find the words to speak. She just couldn't....Not yet. Not while his words kept ringing through her head. She brought up a hand to wipe at some tears, but it made no difference, since they just kept falling.
Namine lowered her hands, folding them in front of her without thought when the intrusion interrupted her few moments of silence. She turned around and saw Roxas standing in the doorway. The only thing she could do was look at him while the tears continued flowing down her cheeks, the girl not able to control them at all.
Namine inhaled a shaky breath, her face staying in her hands. It was at that moment that she finally allowed herself to think of what had her so terrified. Smith. The name alone made her feel more frightened. The words he said to her in her dream, though, turned that simple fright into terror.
Sounds good to me. I'm tired too. xD I should be on in the early afternoon or late morning...We'll see what happens.
Namine headed over to the far side of the kitchen, not seeing any tissues. The light was dim in there, but it was enough for her to see her way around. She brought her hands to her face to try and stop the tears, but they just kept flowing.
Alrighty, awesome. =)
Namine sniffled without thought, rising from the couch without even thinking about the arm Roxas previously had over her shoulder. The tears kept flowing at a steady pace as she headed into the kitchen, knowing that some tissues were kept in there.
Done. =) And that nightmare was totally improv. xDD Anywho, my idea was just that Namine goes to the kitchen to get tissues, Roxas wakes up and...
"Yes, yes," Smith said, repeating the word for emphasis. "You don't walk alone anymore because you fear I'll return. And that day has come, baby girl." "No," Namine said, tears flowing down her cheeks now. "I don't believe it! This isn't real!" she cried, shutting her eyes tightly. She kept telling herself to snap out of it and wake up, but she still stayed in the woods. Smith chuckled. "Real enough to change everything again," he said softly, his words almost having a soothing tone behind them. Almost like he wanted her to give into him again. "Come on; It's not that hard. Admit the truth." "N-No," Namine said, shuddering in the man's grasp. "I won't do it!" She couldn't...But she couldn't understand why not. She was just so scared at that moment, she couldn't think straight. "Admit that you're afraid," Smith said in a calm tone of voice. "Say it and it'll all go away. Scouts honor," he said, chuckling darkly. Namine gasped and opened her eyes, a few hushed words leaving her lips. "I'm afraid," she whispered, eyes landing on various objects in the room. Not the woods. She looked over at Roxas beside her, seeing that he was still asleep. A soft whimper left her lips as the tears started flowing freely, terror still in her heart.
I'll explain when I'm done with the nightmare. ;D
Smith. He was back! Namine let out a yelp of terror, and this time, a sound was made. But that wasn't the only sound; Smith laughed. He laughed viciously, just like he had done in the past. "Stupid girl," Smith said, holding her arm and her gaze. "Don't you see how running away is so worthless? You can never escape me." Namine brought her free hand forward to hit him, but he simply grabbed her wrist and pulled tightly. He twisted her around, her hands behind her back, and her back towards him. She shut her eyes at the pain, fright making her heart beat faster than usual. "You remember this, don't you?" Smith whispered in Namine's ear, the man bending down to be at her level. He didn't wait for her to respond; He liked to hear himself speak, so he was going to be sure to say as much as possible. "Of course you do; You've never forgotten the impact I've made on you. You live your life in fear because of me." "N-No," Namine whimpered, feeling some tears reappear. She didn't want to believe a single word he said, and yet...Yet she felt terror creeping into her heart. There was no way to stop it; Not while this man was here terrifying her.
I hope it will be. ;3
Sora slept in a sleeping bag next to Kairi, the two of them in Roxas' room. He had suggested they sleep in there so that if they woke up at different times it wouldn't affect each other that much. Namine, asleep in an upright position on the couch next to Roxas, was surprisingly troubled. The day in the park had been a ton of fun, but the memories of the movie haunted her more than she had expected them to. She dreamed terrible things now, and she couldn't pull herself out of the nightmares. She was running through the dark woods, eerie trees hanging over top of her head. Behind her, was a man in a white mask, chasing her. She couldn't outrun him, no matter how hard she tried. In fact, it seemed like she was running in place. When he grabbed her arm, she let out a scream, but no sound was made. She whirled around and tried to hit him, and shockingly, the slap knocked the mask right off his face. But what was under the mask terrified her more than anything else could have.
