Description
I've been having these weird dreams lately...

His hand reached toward me, fingers loosely open and beckoning me closer. Slowly, my arm lifted from my side, stretching, striving to reach him. For some reason, I couldn't move my feet--it was like they were cemented in place, and I wobbled and flailed as I tried to grab hold of his hand.
And all the time he was smiling at me; that small, knowing, comforting smile that encouraged me. Eyes hidden in the shadow of his silver hair watched me patiently, waiting for my fumbling fingers to lock with his.
The tip of my index finger brushed his, and I strained to reach further, eyes clenched shut in the effort.
"Come on," I heard him say gently. "Just a bit more."
"Riku--" I opened my eyes to glance up at him, only to find an empty black space where he had been.
My feet came unglued from the floor, and I toppled over, bruising my elbows and forearms and knees. I pushed myself up immediately, turning in small, quick circles.
"Riku!"

Like... is any of this for real... or not?

I was alone in the darkness. Again.
Haunting echoes of lost voices quietly filled the blackness, and I covered my ears to shut them out.
Riku, where did you go...? "Don't leave me--!"
"Sora..."
Kairi's voice seemed to speak in my mind. My hands dropped from my ears, and again I looked around only to be met with the same inky black.
"Where are you? Kairi! Riku--"
Suddenly I felt a cold chill shiver up from my hand. I looked down at it, jerking back when I saw the darkness starting to devour it.
Shadows wrapped around my legs, creeping up to my waist. I fought to push them down--they covered one of my hands, and I pulled the other out of reach, trying to free myself.
The shadows crawled up to my chest--
"Riku! Please--!"
My throat--
"Kairi..."
The shadows covered my face, still twisting up around my floundering hand, grasping desperately at air--I struggled for breath, for freedom; kicking, twisting, jerking--

The soft pale light of the full moon filled my vision as I jerked up, breathing heavy and glancing frantically around at the darkened country side.

I've been having these weird dreams lately...
Is any of this real...?
