Riku wished to deny her mother's claims but finds her voice choking up. Her heart raced and she began to feel panic crawling up her back. She wanted to run and flee somewhere, escape this torment and Hideya's awful gaze that pierced through her being. She is tempted to lash out at the figure with her scythe and tries to tell herself that the apparition isn't real, but she can't compel her arms to make the move. Her mind can't erase the doubt, and the princess is left stuck in place.

You wanted to control every single thing I did, and I only existed to play my role in your story. I wanted to be my own person! Someone that was real!"[/color]

Working herself up with words, Riku steps forward. She then broke into a charge and tried to rush through the ghost and run right on through her mother and break through the mists to the other side. She could hear voices out there, and a male one she recognized. She'd nearly stumble over herself to scramble to the source of that noise and soon collide into something warm and fleshy.
