A/N: Hola everyone! I am taking a LONG hiatus from my other fic 'Underneath
it All' because I am not very focused on FF8 as I am on Kingdom Hearts
right now, and plus I get to work on my writing skills! So I hope you all
enjoy this! R+R Plz!
Summary: 2 years after Ansem is defeated, Sora, Kairi, and Riku find each other once more and are back on Destiny Islands, but they're not the only ones who are back. The Heartless have returned as well and have broken the walls to the worlds once more. Sora and the gang must travel to Traverse Town to find Leon to help them fight the Heartless. But while in Traverse Town, Riku meets a young girl. Who is this young girl and where did she come from?
At The End of the Stars By: Witch Baby
Prologue: Nikki: Dreams .. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I am floating ... Floating in a sea of darkness...
I'm in a place where not even the tiniest sliver of light can be seen ...
I'm cold .. Someone ..please, hold me ..
I feel as if my last breath is near. My eyelids are heavy and my breathing has become shallow. The darkness is swallowing me up. I continue floating through the darkness. There are people surrounding me. I cry out for help, but no one seems to even care. "Please! Someone! Anyone! Help me!" I scream, but everyone just stares at me and watches as I fall farther into the darkness.
Memories come back to me as I glance back at the people. I felt like people could live their lives whether or not I was there with my powers to help them with their own darkness. I felt useless. Unnecessary. Unwanted. I was always the unwanted child no matter where I went. I would enter their lives and they would rejoice as I brought them happiness for awhile but then they would forget about me. I would always blend into the background as someone else took my place. That's the way it was like with my .. my mother ..
I am completely in the darkness now, but I neither want to nor care to get out now. For once I feel like I belong somewhere in these worlds of unwanted children. Trapped forever in the darkness. But what is to become of me now? Am I forced to be here by myself for all eternity or will some other unwanted child come down to comfort my pain?
No ...
No one in all of the worlds has ever nor will ever feel the pain that I have endured over the years. My pain and suffering is for me and for me alone. No one else. At least ... I hope so ...
But please, someone just ... Just please hold me. I feel so cold and lonely.
Please ...
Don't leave me ....
Don't abandon me ....
Please!
Just....
Just hold me!
But please don't ...
DON'T LEAVE ME !!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A quick gasp escapes my lips as I rise up from the table where I slept all morning panting hard. I quickly get my breathing under control and put my hands on my head and rest my elbows on the old table. I run my hands down my face and look around the room. I'm still here, at the small house in the Third District of Traverse Town. I was afraid I was still stumbling through the darkness. I sigh loudly. I don't want to be here, but I have no choice. Traverse Town was the one place where HE couldn't find me and one of the most dangerous places to be when the Heartless are on the loose. I figured this was the first place to start my investigation about why the Heartless have chosen now of all times to attack the worlds again.
I get up quietly, grab my white bucket hat and my black tie and walk to the door. Before I can turn the doorknob, I see something out of the corner of my eye. It's on note thumbtack to the wall. I carefully take off the thumbtack, so to not rip the note, and carefully read the piece of paper. It read:
Dear Nikki,
Hey, lil' sis! Hope you slept well.
Don't forget, today you're working in the shop with Aerith and you're also responsible of the synthesis shop as well since the moggles have the next week off. Also, If you're going to the Second or Third District today remember that there are heartless and you need to be extra careful!
See ya later!
Love,
Leon
P.S. Please don't do anything 'childish' today, alright?
I crumpled the note up in frustration. I hated Aerith and the way shes teaching Leon to call me 'childish.' I threw the crumpled piece of paper in the trash near the window and held on to the windowsill with both hands. I looked up at my reflection. Raven black hair and glowing red eyes met my angry gaze. The girl in the window frightened me for only a second and then I realized it was myself and quickly ran out the door and headed for the First District. My dreams of darkness will have to be put in hold for now. But still, I long someone, just anyone, to just hold me ....
