first attempt

[yaoibanshee.livejournal.com]

um, hi. i'm new, and i figured i'd try this challenge thing, just because. i really don't know how well this goes with the theme - i mean, i think it fits, but i don't know how other people will feel about it. so here we go...


challenge: breaking
title: edge of silence
word count: 195
notes: um, yes. set right after riku saves sora and kairi from ansem at hollow bastion, so ansem has taken over his body and he's trapped in the realm of darkness. like i said, the theme in this one is kind of more implied, since i have a thing for symbolism. i hope that it makes sense, and you can yell at me if it doesn't. or if it just plain sucks. >.<



Silence. I hate the sound of silence. It's not peaceful, or comforting, or any of the other things that people like to tell you. They don't know silence; not true silence. The kind that closes in around you, pressing up against you until you want to scream. The kind that seeps into your soul, until you can hear it pounding in your ears and pulsing through your veins. It's suffocating. And no matter how much you scream, you can't escape it. This unbroken silence, this endless darkness - my darkness.

I've certainly earned it, and now it's mine. All mine. I wonder what he thinks? Sora... In the end, I couldn't even give him the one thing he wanted most. After all this, he was still the one who ended up saving her. Just like always. And all I did was get in the way.

But for one instant, for one brief moment, I managed to do something right. I know it doesn't really matter now, I'm already damned beyond the point of redemption; but it was enough to save them, just this once. It was enough, even if it was only for a moment.
