Chapter 31: Prison For The Heart
Piri's POV
I groaned and opened my eyes. I went to rubbed my forehead when I noticed my bracelets were gone! I gasped and sat up. I felt my forehead as I felt kinda sick. Then I noticed I was in a cell. I don't even remember what happened... "Ugh, my head... Where am I?"
"Ah, the seeress!" I gasped and turned to see Maleficent. I growled as I seen her.
"It's SO nice to see you... witch..." I said venomously.
She chuckled, "Why child, Can you at least be nice to me?"
"No." I moved on. "Where am I and where's Sora, Donald, and Goofy?"
"Might as well say goodbye to them, me lass!" A pirate came in the room.
"Are you Barbossa?"
"Aye, that I am!"
"Where are my friends? I demand to know!" I realized that Riku wasn't with me anymore, "Where's Riku?!"
"The fool boy is still struggling with his darkness." Maleficent said.
"Yeah? Tell me something I don't know!" I growled and she smirked.
"So you've seen him?" I widened my eyes; I probably shouldn't have said that...
"What's it to you?" I growled.
"Oh, no reason..."
'Sure there isn't...' I rolled my eyes.
"So you say this lass can predict the future?" Barbossa asked and Maleficent nodded. "That should hatch a hefty price in the market, aye?" I gulped.
'Sora... Riku... Please help me!' they left and I stood up. I felt cold and alone. I was alone... My breathing slightly increased and an eerie cold sweat drip down my neck. "Is... Is anyone there?"
"Aww... Does baby need attention?" I gasped and turned to see Blackberry. "Do need me to protect you from the big, bad pirates?"
"I need help from you?" A pirate slammed a door which made both of us jump.
"You know, I can get you to your friends." She smirked, "But if you want to hang out with the pirates, then fine by me!"
"Wait!" I stopped her from entering the dark corridor. I could either be raped by pirates and sold in in a black market or go with Blackberry to Etro knows where. I sighed, "Take me with you!"
She nodded and grabbed my wrist, "Thanks for trusting me."
I sensed, not a sarcastic tone or a tone that made me feel uncomfortable, but rather a tone that said everything was going to be alright. I still felt uneasy; Why would she help me?
As we entered the dark portal, I gulped and forcefully shut my eyes. I felt the rush of the darkness and it hurt a little. That feeling was suddenly gone. Then I felt myself strengthening. I opened my eyes and a green light vanished from her hand. She had a straight face. I gasped and looked around; I was back on the Interceptor. There was barrels of gunpowder and they were ignited. She started to hover with darkness and heartless appeared.
"We need to get rid of these bombs and heartless!" Blackberry said. "I can't kill them but you can! Piri, take care of the heartless!"
"Wait a-"
"There's no time! Just do it!" She snapped her head towards me. "It's the only way to save your friends!"
At first I had a worried face but then I had a determined look and nodded. We worked together just as she suggested; I fought the heartless and keep them away from her while Blackberry got rid of the barrels. After she did, she help me by healing me whenever I got hurt. All of them were dealt with and she did do what she was supposed to... but at what cost?
"Why did you help me?" I asked suspiciously and she scoffed.
"What, you're not grateful?" She glared at me and I growled.
"No! I just know your the type that does stiff for a certain reason!" I yelled.
"Well, if you die then I die, remember?" She crossed her arms and looked away.
"Piri? Is that you?" Goofy's voice came through the wall.
"Goofy! Is everyone there with you?" I asked, "Where are you?"
"We're all below the deck!" Donald said, "Sora, Elizabeth, and Jack's here."
"It's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow!" Jack said.
"Come on, Blackberry!" This time I grabbed her wrist and dragged her down below. There we found everyone tied to a pole. I looked at Sora and he was out cold, his cheeks were red and puffy, tears were still running down, it looks like his nose was bleeding based of the dried blood, and his mouth was covered by pirate bandana. "SORA!!"
Even Blackberry looked concerned, "What happened?"
"He put up one heck of a fight, that's for sure." Jack said. "Barbossa told him about what his men were able to do..." I got the point. Sora would protect the people he loved (not in that way since he likes Kairi for certain) and one of those people is me.
I teared up and saw a lump on his forehead, indicating one of the pirates must of hit him to get him to be quiet. Most likely after they tried to shit him up with that red cloth. I touched the lump on his head and he slightly jolted away from me. I sighed, closing my eyes. I felt my hand glowed with light and that lump disappeared. His eyes fluttered and slightly opened. They shot open when they saw me.
I smirked, "Gee, Sora! I thought I was the one who was supposed to be the damsel in distress!"
"Piri!" He said, but it was muffled. I got the bandana off him and untied them, with Blackberry's help. "Sis, how did you..." He looked at the blackette and growled, summoning his key. "What are YOU doing here?"
She rolled her eyes, "The answer- No, the truth would be hard to shallow."
"She helped me save your guys' hide." I said.
"WHAT!?!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy exclaimed and i nodded.
"Yeah, I know that feeling..." I glared at her and she narrowed her eyes.
"Come on, do you really think I won't help you guys?" I growled at this.
"Well, let's look at the freaking facts, shall we?" I ranted, "You tried to make me think and feel like Riku doesn't care about me anymore, you called my child a wailing little runt, you actually like it when I get mad at you, and you are my darkside! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU HELP ME?!"
"Well, maybe you should consider something! I'm trying to be my own person!" She glared, "I realized that the only way I might get a chance is to-"
"Can I interupt?" Sora asked.
"NO!" we yelled at him and she continued.
"The only way to be myself and have my own person is to help out and be generous!" She stomped her foot, "And trust me, I'm TRYING to change!"
I scoffed and turned around, "Well, once I see more proof, then maybe I should give you a blue ribbon!"
"Will you ladies shut it!" Jack came up, "You are starting to sound like my daughter and her friend!"
We huffed while crossing arms and looking away from each other.
"Anyway, thanks for helping us out miss..." Elizabeth trailed off.
"My name was originally Yami. I am a Shadow Mage and darkside to Piri here." She said, "You can call me Blackberry if you're like Reese over there. Although, you seem more grateful than her so..." I growled at this.
"Well, I didn't know that you had a name!" Sora said, "Yami, right?"
"Yep, got it memorized?" I rolled my eyes; she was still using Lea's catchphrase.
"Gwarsh, maybe you can come with us!" Goofy asked my eyes widened. "You can help us and we can help you became a person yourself."
"Hey, that's not a bad idea!" Sora said. That was the COMPLETE opposite of what I expected. It was, too, a bad idea!!
"Hold on, I don't trust her!" Donald said and I nodded in agreement.
"Eh, you'll get used to her!" Sora smiled and I mentally screamed, all the while keeping calm outside. Did he not remember what happened in the past?
"Sora, can't I talk to you... alone?" I asked.
"I'm pretty sure you can say it in front of all of us." He said and i huffed.
"Fine. I can't trust anyone who is trying to kill me."
"What? I saved you from the freaking pirates!" She said.
"Yes, I know! But what you did in the past was uncalled for!" I turned back to the door to go above deck.
"The past is behind us, sis! Please forgive me!" She said.
"I'm not your sister! Just leave me and my friends alone!" My hands surrounded with darkness.
"Pi, She's trying to apologize!" Sora said.
"Enough, Sora!"
"No, not until you accept her apology!"
"I SAID ENOUGH!!!" I slashed my hand through the air and darkness rolled across the ground. I gasped as it hit Sora. He had that same look he had back on the Gummi Ship. Everyone looked at me with wide eyes. I gasped and looked at my hands. "S-Sora... I-"
"No... I get it..." He dusted off his clothes and got back up, "Seems Kairi would be better at this than you."
'Well, here we go again...' I blinked and sighed, looking back at my hands. "Yami... You can come with us. I'll be on the crow's nest... If anyone needs me. I highly doubt I'll be of help, knowing the beast I am..." I walked out and climbed up to the crow's nest. I looked up at the night sky, feeling that ocean breeze. But it so quiet...
'What's did I just do?' I asked myself.
