Chapter 25

Piri's POV

In my mind...

"Piri." I heard Lightning voice and I shot my eyes open. There was nothing but darkness.

"Light?" I looked around frantically, "Light! I can't see you! Where are you?" There was a bright light in front of me and it disappeared into a small orb of light.

"Hey, it's nice to see you." her voice came from the orb, "You're growing so fast..."

"Light! What happened to you?" I cried.

"Don't worry, I'm fine! How's Serah?" she asked.

"She's back in Traverse Town!" she chuckled at this. "Why aren't you with her?"

"I thought I could get Maleficent on my own." she sounded sad. "I lost my heart to her and when I escaped, I found you."

"Wait! This is your heart?" I asked.

"Yes. Can I stay here with you until you can find my body?" I giggled at this.

"Of course! You're my cousin!"

"I guess I saw that coming..." she laughed and the heart came closer to me, going into my chest. "Good luck, Reese!" Everything flashed.

I sat up and I was in the bed of the cabin of the Gummi Ship. I tried to wrap my mind around what happened. So Light literally gave me her heart? Then how...?

"Hey, Piri." Jiminy jumped on the bed.

"Oh, h-hey, Jiminy... how's everything up there?"

"Sora is co-pilot with Donald!" he smiled.

I got up and got ready, "So, how's the journal coming?"

"Splendid! I got Info from Sora!" my smile disappeared.

"Then I suppose he told you about the darkness?" he sighed and nodded.

"He told me it wasn't you." I sadly smiled.

"Yea, but the darkness almost took control..." I climbed the ladder to the control room and sat in the empty seat next to Goofy.

"Good morning, princess. Did you sleep well?" Goofy asked. I got a chill up and down my spine and hugged myself. I got this feeling something is going to happen... but what? "What's the matter?"

I rubbed my shoulders, "I... don't know..."

"Here..." Sora put his jacket on me.

I smiled, "Thanks, I think I was cold."

he grinned, "No problem!"

"Uh, a big ship is catching up with us!" Goofy said and Sora got back to his seat. A ship sailed into view.

"It's a pirate ship!" Donald yelled.
