The Fourteenth Wish; Fooled

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

[Private, Dictated;]

No, no, no... This isn't right-- What if it really was him? What if I'm seeing things-- what if... What if Athrun really shot him? Something's telling me it's true, but... I don't want to believe it. I don't want to believe that I said those things to them.

..

I wonder... if they'd forgive me if I did...?

[/Private;]

[Sora and Riku, Written;]

[Several starts, all crossed out or scribbled over. The only ones still barely legible look like they might have read 'sorry', 'cant believe myself', and 'wish this was over already'.]

[/Sora and Riku;]

[Axel, Dictated;]

... I-I think I messed up big time.

I wish I could come to see you, but... I don't think I'd be able to see you if I did.

I'm sure you didn't mess up, Princess. What's wrong?

...what do you mean?

Axel;

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

[This is Kairi painfully copying down all the things she said to the 'monsters']

Please don't tell anyone...

Kairi;

[arsoning.livejournal.com]

...why does it matter what you say to the monsters? They're, ah, monsters, you know.

Secret is safe with me.

Axel;

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

I-I don't... think they're monsters. They're terrifying, but...

What if it's just the castle? What if I said all of those things to Sora and Riku.

... It really sounded like him... when he was writing.


If I come to see you, you might look like one, too.

Kairi;

[arsoning.livejournal.com]

That... would be a bit of a problem, wouldn't it? But it's Sora and Riku and you three are the inseparable trio; they'd understand.

...I can wear a sheet over my head~

Axel;

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

But I was so horrible... Axel, Athrun shot Riku.

... That would make me laugh...

[wavered.livejournal.com]

[overhearing Kairi dictating]

I shot at somebody sneaking around earlier... I didn't get a good look at who it was, though.

Was it... somebody you knew?

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

[jumping a bit and turning to face him]

Athrun...

[She looks like she's trying not to cry.]

What did those people that we ran from last night... look like to you?

[wavered.livejournal.com]

[dictated slowly, catching on that something's amiss]

Two young men... maybe in their mid to late teens. One had long gray hair, and the other one had shaggy brown hair.

They were the ones who were after you, weren't they?

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

[Kairi's... crying now]

This is all the Castle's fault!!!

Those two... They aren't monsters, they're my closest friends... This castle's doing this to me-- I just...

[wavered.livejournal.com]

I-I'm sorry. I should have realized something was wrong.

Don't worry, I'm sure your friends will understand. It's all right.

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

Don't blame yourself for this... I can't thank you enough for helping me. None of this is your fault, alright?

I'm starting to worry less about them forgiving me... But more... 'Can I ever forgive myself for not seeing'?

[just one thing is written in response to the mess.]

Please come home.

[Riku;]

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

I

But what if you

I might

I'm sorry, but I can't.

[silverstung.livejournal.com]

I miss

We need

Kairi, look

[Kairi;] 2/2

[silverstung.livejournal.com]

I won't let anyone or anything here take you away from me again.

[Riku;]

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

[Pause cause HEY, he's doing it again. That thing that makes her blush and feel happy, but sad at the same time. D:]

But if I see you, I'll be terrified. I'll run.

I can't be near you right now. I won't see or hear you. Only what this place makes me see.

[LOOOOONG PAUSE]

Riku, I miss you so much...

[Kairi;]

[silverstung.livejournal.com]

[a pause]

That's okay, Kairi. It's okay. Just-- just know that both of us are concerned for you and we'll mow down anyone who tries to take advantage of you.

Even if you can't see or hear us, we're right here beside you, every single step of the way.

[he's smiling really sadly at the journal now]

We'll pull through this. It's like nothing after a year, right?

[Riku;]

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

[doesn't know a good response... SO SHE'S JUST GONNA SOAK IT IN.]

If you get hurt defending me like Axel did, I will be so mad at you...

[Kairi]

[blue-tide.livejournal.com]

[written] ...?

[Sora]

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry, Sora...

[Kairi]

[blue-tide.livejournal.com]

It's okay, Kairi. Where are you now? Are you safe? Are you still in pain?

[Sora]

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

No, it's not; I'm with Athrun, Setsuna, Cagalli, and Lacus; Yes; Yes.

[Kairi]

[blue-tide.livejournal.com]

The world is messing with you... You're not to blame. We're not mad or anything; Riku and I are just really worried how long you have to go through this.

Are they friends you made here? If you're safe with them, that's a relief.

[...but her pain isn't.] Is there any way to use magic to heal you?

[Sora]

[loving-light.livejournal.com]

Sora, Athrun shot Riku because of me.... Whether or not you guys are mad, I can't just get over that...

Athrun is the one who took me out here last night-- I've met Setsuna before, and Lacus and Cagalli are friends of Athrun's.

If this is the castle's doing, which I'm positive that it is, then magic won't do anything...
