~Dawn~

“Now what do we do?” Gavin asked, glancing over at Silver.

“I’m not sure… As long as the door remains closed, there isn’t much we can do.” He replied.

“Find the Chosen.”

Why?

“They need you. You need them.”

Shouldn’t I be asking the boy-?

“Find the Chosen.”

“Silver… You said there were other Chosen…” Dawn began to carry out the voice’s request. She didn’t understand why she trusted it. In fact, she didn’t understand why most things were happening at the moment. “Shouldn’t we find them?”

“You’re really asking for trouble today.” Silver sighed, obviously frustrated by the burden he had laid up on himself, namely Dawn. “You may try. However, I don’t know where you’d begin to look and I can’t accompany you.”

“He can. He just doesn’t want to.”

Dawn frowned. Her gut instinct was to ask him why. She knew that if she were to ask him that he’d get even more irritated.

“You shouldn’t go anywhere. I don’t want to see you get hurt again…” Gavin said. She gazed into his eyes; they were full of guilt, pain and anger. She watched them overflow with love as she drew closer to him, placing her lips carefully on his, kissing him softly.

“Come with me.” She said after they had parted. “Did you really think I’d go without you?”

“I’m coming too.” Kimi stated. “I can’t let you go alone.”

“I’ll remain here.” Silver finished, his voice emotionless.

“His Masters won’t let him go.”

That’s okay…

“They would kill him if they knew.”

Who are his Masters?

“He’s Heartless, Dawn. Heartless.”

“You’re not supposed to be on our side, are you Silver?” She asked, changing the subject of conversation.

He frowned. “No. I’m not.” He answered simply.

“Then why haven’t you killed us yet?”

He glared at her but his expression soon changed to something that might be described as confusion. He had obviously been thinking about it. “I… I don’t know.”

“It’s okay; you don’t have to know everything.” She reassured him. Who was she to be giving him advice? “What’s the harm in coming with us? I’m sure your Masters won’t find out…”

“How did you know about them?” He was angry. He must have been very confused at how she’d known about it too.

“Well, you don’t seem like the ultimate bad-guy type…”

“Dawn…” She turned back to Gavin. He gave her a look that said ‘don’t push it’.

“Sorry… I don’t know what got into me…” She stared down at the floor. Why was she being this way? She would have never normally said anything like that before… Although, she had never been in a situation like this before…

“Shall we go?” Kimi asked. Both Gavin and Dawn nodded and headed towards the door.

“Wait!” Silver called. There was almost a sense of desperation in his voice. They turned to face him. Dawn noticed that he was looking longingly at Kimi. They waited for him to explain his sudden outcry. “I’m coming too…”

They exited the building out onto the streets. It was morning now and the rush of people trying to get to places was gradually rising.

“Where do we start?” Gavin asked.

“Follow the Shadows.”

“Follow the Shadows…” Dawn whispered, glancing up and down the street for one of those creatures.

“Look harder.”

Her eyes continued to dart from one thing to another. She didn’t even know the other Chosen, yet she felt it was her duty to go and find them.

There! She told the voice in her head. The Shadow’s yellow eyes stared straight into her own from across the street. She met its gaze.

“There’s a Shadow over there.” Dawn stated, her eyes remaining connected to it. She nodded in its direction. “It will probably take us to the others if we follow it.”

“I didn’t summon it…” Silver thought aloud.

It only took Dawn one blink for the Shadow to move. She grabbed Gavin’s hand with her good one and ran after the Shadow, hoping that Kimi, and maybe even Silver, were not too far behind.

Diddley dee... That post took longer than it should have O_o
