TwilightSky15: Hi guys! I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but I got the idea for this while doing an RP with a friend and I just couldn't get it out of my head. I wasn't sure if I should put the rating as T or M or even what category to put it in considering I'm using my Kingdom Hearts OC. So to compromise I'm thinking of doing two versions of this story a pure EAH version (Which is this one.) and a Kingdom Hearts crossover version. I want everyone's opinions on whether I should make two different versions of this story or not. Anyways let's get started.
(((((TRIGGER WARNING!))))) I'm put this just in case, but if you have an issue with physical and mental abuse I suggest you either turn back now or wait for chapter 3.
Disclaimer: I own nothing accept Alona, Sarah, and Jason.
It was a still night in a large village in the mountains, most of the town was sound asleep, the only exception was the Hikari household. Sarah and Jason Hikari were just getting their three-year-old daughter, Alona, ready to go to bed for the night. Or at least they were trying to do so, it was kind of hard when she was excitedly running around her room.
Jason grinned as he playfully snatched his daughter up and started tickling her "Ah ha! The tickle monster has got you now!" he teased as he carried his daughter to her bed so Sarah could help her get into her pajamas.
Alona giggled and squirmed in his arms "Daddy!" she squealed, trying to escape, "stop it!"
Jason chuckled "Okay, okay, time for you to get dressed kiddo." He said as he dropped her on her bed.
Sarah helped Alona get dressed and ready before her and Jason tucked her into bed. Alona had almost fallen asleep as her parents were shutting her door when she suddenly sat up with a gasp.
"Wait!" she exclaimed, causing her parents to open the door and peek in again "Where's Mr. Midnight?" she asked, referring to her favorite black stuffed cat her mother made for her when she was a baby. Sarah and Jason looked around Alona's room before Mr. Midnight was found under their daughters bed. Sarah smiled as she placed Sly under the blankets with Alona and gently kissed her forehead "Goodnight honey, I love you."
Alona smiled "I love you Mommy."
Jason came and kissed her on her forehead as well "Love you Sweetheart, See you in the morning."
"Love you too Daddy." Alona replied before yawning and snuggling under her blanket as her parents tucked her into bed again before turning off her lamp and closing her door.
A few hours later the whole house was dark and quiet as everyone slept. The grandfather clock in the living room chimed deeply as the beginning of the next hour started breaking the quiet in the house before the sound of a window being shattered broke it further. The man who broke the window crawled through the opening and stood up "Jason! Where are you!? I want my money you asshole!" he yelled as he started searching downstairs.
Sarah woke from the yelling with a jolt and quickly sat up, she listened to the voice before she shook her husband awake.
"Jason, Jason wake up!" She whispered urgently as she roused him from his sleep
"Huh? Wha-?" Jason asked tiredly as he woke, "What's going on? What's wrong?" He slurred tiredly.
"I think someone broke into the house."
Jason was wide awake then "What!?"
"Listen." Sarah told him
They both stayed still, listening to all the noise down stairs. "Come on out you bastard! I know you have what I want!" the intruder yelled.
Jason quickly got up "Get Alona and go get the police, I'll deal with this guy."
Sarah nodded "Alright, but be careful." She cautioned, giving him a kiss before quickly sneaking out of the room to get their daughter.
Sarah gently shook Alona awake "Alona honey, wake up we have to go." She said quietly
Alona whined quietly as she was pulled from her sleep "Mm…Mommy? Why'd you wake me up?" She mumbled as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"There's a bad man in the house and we need to get somewhere safe." Sarah explained gently.
Alona was scared "A bad man?"
"Shhh, yes but, Daddy's taking care of him and we're going to go get help. Now let's hurry and get you dressed."
"Okay Mommy."
After getting Alona dressed Sarah picked her up and carried her downstairs.
Alona grabbed Mr. Midnight before they left.
Sarah heard Jason and the intruder in a heated conversation in the next room over. She peeked around the doorframe to see what was going on, only to see the man pointing a gun at her husband. She gasped quietly and quickly ducked back into the living room; looking around before she spotted a small cabinet and rushed over to it.
"What are you doing Mommy?" Alona asked quietly
"Keeping you safe, honey." Sarah replied as she opened the empty cabinet and placed Alona inside "I need you to listen: I'm going to go help your father, whatever you do don't leave this cabinet or make a sound under any circumstances until me or your father tell you to come out, okay?"
"Okay Mommy."
Sarah kissed Alona's forehead "I love you, I'll be back soon." She said quietly as she closed the cabinet.
Alona hugged Mr. Midnight tightly as she listened to what was going on outside. She couldn't hear anything clearly, but she did hear a lot of yelling before she heard a loud bang and her father cry out, causing her to yelp and cower under her stuffed bear. There were more sounds of struggling and yelling before there was another loud bang, accompanied by her mothers' scream before everything went silent.
Alona waited for a bit before cautiously peeking out of the cabinet "Mommy? Daddy?" She called out quietly as she looked around.
There was no answer.
Alona grabbed Mr. Midnight and went to look for her parents, walking into the dining room and finding them on the floor; seeming to be asleep.
"Mommy? Daddy?" she whimpered as she shook them and tried to wake them "Please wake up!" she cried "You have to wake up!"
She was crying over her parents when a shadow suddenly loomed over her from behind.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" a male voice said from behind her.
Alona sniffled and turned around, looking up at the man with tears in her eyes, "My Mommy and Daddy won't wake up." She whimpered sadly, wiping some of her tears away with one of Mr. Midnight's paws.
"They won't be waking up any time soon, kid. They're dead." The man said as he looked around.
"T-They can't be d-dead…I-I need them…" Alona said in a small voice.
"Not anymore, I can't have you talking so you're coming with me." The man said as he grabbed her by the arm and started dragging her out of the house before she could react.
Alona yelped and tried to pull away only for the man to tighten his grip on her arm causing her to wince. She looked back at her parents still forms one last time before the man dragged her out onto the streets. In the darkness of the night she could see the soft orange glow coming off of the street lamps. When she looked down at her clothes she noticed she was covered in blood causing her to start crying.
The man picked her up and covered her mouth with his hand "Shut up you brat!
Alona whimpered and struggle as the man slipped into an alleyway "Hey, you still here?" He called out quietly as he looked around.
"Yes, did you get the money they owed you?" A man in a cloak asked
Alona's captor nodded "They were hiding it," He scoffed "I even got myself a little bonus prize." He added nodding down to Alona's shaking form.
"So, do you know where you're going after this?" the cloaked man asked as he handed the bad man a bottle of clear liquid and a cloth.
"Yes, I actually live in a cabin a few days' journey from here. It's in a faraway kingdom so she won't be coming back here." He smirked, Alona gulped at this
"Good, you'd better get going before you miss your boat."
"Right, but before I go I need you to hold her for me." The man said as he passed Alona off to the other man. Alona started struggling in his arms.
The cloaked man held her tightly and looked at his friend "Hurry up."
"Alright, alright." The man said as he went to put the now wet cloth over Alona's face "Don't move you little rat, you're just going to take a nice long nap."
Alona kept struggling in the cloaked man's grip, trying to dodge the cloth before the man holding her forced her head still.
Alona whimpered as the odd smelling cloth was pressed to her face, being forced to breathe in the scent. She suddenly felt really sleepy before the world blurred and everything went black.
When she opened her eyes again she was surprised to find that they were walking up to a cabin in a thick forest.
The man walked up to the cabin and unlocked the front door before stepping inside and putting Alona down.
Alona slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes as she looked around the dusty old cabin, noticing the numerus beer bottles strewn around the room, "What's this place?"
"Your new home." The man replied with a smirk.
"But…what about Mommy and Daddy?" Alona whimpered as she stood.
The man angrily backhanded her across the face, causing her to cry out, "Don't mention them!" He yelled at her.
Alona yelped and stumbled backwards into the door. Putting a hand to her cheek in shock, not used to being hit "H-How come?" She asked timidly.
"Because I said so, do want me to kill you too?" The man told her with a stern look.
Alona pressed herself against the door in fear "No…" She whimpered as she hugged Mr. Midnight tightly.
"Then you better not mention them anymore, I'm going to be your new Daddy now and you're going to like it."
Alona gulped, watching as the man took off to the kitchen before she walked over to the fireplace and sat down on the floor before the flames, slowly calming down.
The man came back in with a bottle of beer.
Alona looked over at him "I'm hungry." She complained.
The man glared at her "Not my problem, Worthless. Go feed yourself."
Alona got up and went to the kitchen. After looking around for a bit, she found nothing but a small loaf of stale bread and some water.
While she was eating Alona heard the front door open accompanied by a woman's voice.
"You're back, how did the job go? Did you get the money?"
Alona's new 'Father' laughed "I sure did baby, I even got a little bonus prize."
"Oooh, and what would that be?"
Alona peeked out of the kitchen causing the woman to gasp. "You brought back a kid!? Why!?"
The man smirked "I couldn't have her talking and I needed a house keeper. That and I know you wanted a new pet after what happened to the last one." This news made Alona whimper in fear.
The man looked over in her direction after he heard her whimper "There she is, worthless little mutt…hey make yourself useful and get me two more beers."
"Mommy and Daddy say I'm not allowed to touch that stuff."
The man glared and stood up from his seat, storming over to her. Alona started backing up a bit in fear. "What did I tell you about mentioning those useless parents of yours!?" The man yelled at her as grabbed her and threw her across the room and into a wall.
Alona screamed and started crying when she hit the wall, getting scared when the man came up and started beating her as his girlfriend watched "When I tell you to do something you do it!" He yelled as he beat her. By the time he was done Alona was in so much pain she couldn't move as he dumped her on the ground and she watched him walk into the kitchen to get his beers.
The woman walked over to her and gave Alona a smile that was so sinister and dark it scared her. "Don't worry little dog. You'll get used to doing what your told soon enough."
Alona cried silently as she hugged Mr. Midnight, wishing this was all just a nightmare.
TwilightSky15: Well, that's about it. Sorry this chapter was so depressing…I've never actually written anything dark like this before so we'll see how this goes. Like I said if this gets good reception then I might just make two versions of this story so don't forget to REVIEW!
