Chapter 1.The Incendent
DEH:This is my first story with an OC so, if you like it please review.
DEH: This chapter is kind of technical, but it gets better.
Nieva sat bolt upright in her bed, the smell of darkness was everywhere. The walls of her room were black and smoking, and her blankets were charred. She'd
had that dream again; the one about how she'd got her powers.
It had happened in Radiant Garden when she was very little. She'd been walking back to the lab with her friend Lea; they were talking about the new discoveries
Ansem the wise had made. When they arrived at the study, Lea told her to head back to her room. She had always lived in the castle; she never knew who her
parents were. Nieva noted the basement door was open as she neared her room. Feeling something was not right, she decided to investigate. As she
neared the bottom of the stairs, she could hear a lot of yelling and screaming. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw that the door was open.
When she looked inside, she saw a man, one of Ansem's apprentices. He was leaning over a vat of some dark liquid. In the corner there was a tank with a black
creature in it. Suddenly there was a scream, and from one of the tanks a heart shaped thing flew out. It drifted into the tank with the creature. Nieva realized
that she shouldn't be here, and as she tried to leave, her foot caught in the door causing it to squeak. The man turned around and saw her. She tried to get
away, but he grabbed her, and tried to shove her in the tank where the heart came out of. She struggled hard, and in the skirmish there was an explosion. The
vat with the dark stuff was knocked over. Breaking free from the man, she ran for the door. He grabbed for her, and she fell into the dark liquid. The second it
touched her skin, it started to encase her body. She screamed in pain. The last thing she saw before passing out, was a door in the wall that was destroyed by
the explosion. That was the last thing she remembered from the incident. When she woke up, she was in Disney Castle. She was told that the king was visiting
Radiant Garden when she was transformed. He convinced Ansem the wise that she had to be taken to Disney Castle. After Ansem agreed, she was taken to the
cornerstone of light in the hope that it would cure her. Unfortunately it didn't cure her, but it did help her to control her transformation into a dark creature. She
was sixteen now, but she still had nightmares about that awful day. Each morning she would wake up to her room fried. Of course that was her fault; she would
release a burst of dark energy wile she was dreaming. She got out of her bed and walked over to the door. As she rang the servant bell, she looked at herself
and saw that all of her clothes were burned off. She quickly grabbed a robe and headed to her changing room. When she finished changing, she walked back to
her room. She smiled when she saw the broom servants cleaning her walls. Suddenly, she heard the court wizard running down the hall yelling. When she
opened her door, he ran past her room without even noticing her. Once again curiosity took over, and she followed him to the garden.
