Alright. Time for a quick one shot story thing. This is a story inspired by the Soranort idea I've seen around on Tumblr. It's a pretty interesting idea and I thought of writing something for it. This whole oneshot in particular is inspired by the drawing and comics of Tumblr user chachacharlieco. Most the inspiration for this one shot comes front her comic called Nightmare. Please be sure to check her out if you can.

Cover image belongs to chachacharlieco's comic Nightmare. I have gotten permission to use it as the cover image.

Now this has a bit darker tone compared to most my other stories. Just as a heads up. Not super dark, but it's something.
Anyways let's get on with it!

Upon opening his eyes Sora found himself not in bed, but in a dark void. Looking around him he saw nothing. Nothing but a everlasting void of darkness. The only thing he could see was himself, as he noticed he seemed to be giving off a faint glow, but it was almost barely noticeable.

Sora continued to look around him, hoping to see something...anything...but there was just nothing but the darkness. An uneasy feeling in Sora's stomach formed. Everything just felt off and eerie. He didn't like the feeling of this at all. He shuddered as he stood up and started to walk around, though as he walked, the darkness beneath him felt like thick tar. Each step caused his foot to sink a little, and it was a struggle to pull it back out.

After nearly trudging through the darkness for what felt like several minutes, Sora finally stopped to look around again. This time though he did in fact see something. Something glistened in the far distance within the everlasting darkness. An object of some sorts, but he couldn't quite make out what it was. Sora broke into a run as he headed towards whatever it was. Hoping it was something that could help him get out of wherever he was.

As Sora got closer to the object he started to see what it was, it looked like a full body mirror. "What is something like that doing in the middle of nowhere?" Sora thought to himself.

As he approached the mirror, he could start to see his reflection more and more. But then he quickly stopped in his tracks. Something just felt off with his reflection. Sora's whole body tensed up as a uneasy, eerie feeling came over him. He slowly stepped a little closer to the mirror to see if what he saw was really there, or just his imagination.

He got right up to the mirror, but the reflection stayed the same. It looked just like him, but at the same time it didn't. The Sora in the reflection… he was wearing a Organization cloak and his hair was a silver-white and looked messy and unkempt. But that wasn't what offset Sora the most...the most unsettling thing Sora saw in his reflection was the face. His eyes...they were not blue...but a golden amber. And while Sora stared at his reflection with confusion and fear, the reflection grinned back with a cynical grin and wide crazy eyes.

The uneasy feeling in Sora's stomach grew stronger the longer he stared at the reflection. Slowly taking a step back, he watched as the reflection did not follow him, it only stood there glaring at him. Sora felt his hands beginning to tremble, he didn't want to stare at the reflection anymore. He turned to run when suddenly a voice spoke.

"You're going to run away? You're such a coward." Sora froze up. It was his voice. His own voice...but sounded much more sinister and cold.

Slowly turned around, Sora looked at the mirror again. His reflection...or whatever it really was, had moved a little closer to the mirror.

"What…What did you say?" Sora asked quietly, he almost struggled to get his words out.

"You are a coward. Weak and pathetic," The Sora reflection said.

"No I'm not…" Sora said as he shook his head.

The reflection laughed, the laugh was harsh and it made Sora shudder, "Yes you are. You were weak and you failed. You failed all your friends."

"I… I didn't fail anyone. You're wrong!" Sora shouted, as he gripped his fists. His head was starting now ache as well as his chest.

"You are a failure. You were supposed to be the hope everyone wanted, but then you failed and now you are all alone."

Sora gritted his teeth his breathing starting to increase, "Stop it! I didn't...I'm not a…" Sora trailed off, unable to finish his sentence. He tried to turn around to run away, but his feet had sunk down into the darkness beneath him and it was now up past his ankles.

"You can try to deny it all you want. But that won't change what you've become," The reflection sneered as he placed a hand on the mirror. Immediately cracks formed around his palm slowly spreading across the whole mirror. "You were foolish and careless, and that is what lead you to fail. What lead you to become what you are now; me."

The mirror was now completed covered in cracked and in the blink of an eye it shattered with what seemed like a explosion, having the shards of glass fly out towards Sora. Instinctively Sora placed his hands up over his face as the shards flew at him. He could feel the shards flying by him, slicing his skin as they passed.

The force that had blasted the mirror apart also knocked Sora back, into the darkness. As soon as he hit the ground darkness started to wrap around his whole body. Sora started to panic as the air around him became hot and heavy, making it harder to breathe properly.

As he struggled against the darkness, he heard the voice of his reflection again. The voice was echoing in his head this time, but it was still just as sinister "Just give up. Give up your feeble attempts to fight it. Just give into the darkness already."

"N-No...I won't give up, I can't..." Sora said as he slowly managed to pull himself up into a kneeling position. The darkness though continued to wrap around his body. Tears swelled up in Sora's eyes, the darkness kept trying to pull him back down, but couldn't give up...he had to keep trying.

Looking up Sora noticed someone standing just a few feet away. It wasn't the Sora from the reflection. It was someone else. Sora felt the tears start to stream down his face, "Kairi…"

Kairi didn't say anything. She only started at Sora, with a terrified look across her face.

Sora started to reach out towards Kairi when he noticed a shadowy figure standing just a bit behind Kairi. Sora stared are realized who it was. Xehanort. Sora felt a pain in his chest as as his hands started trembling again. Sora tried to reach out towards Kairi again. He needed to try and protect Kairi. He had to do something. But it was getting harder to breath and everything was slowly become unfocused. Sora was struggling to keep his thoughts straight.

"Xehanort! No! I'll do anything please!" Sora found himself shouting as he slowly made his way towards Kairi. He could feel something...or some people pulling on his clothes, trying to pull him back. But Sora didn't bother looking back to see who or what it was, he just kept moving towards Kairi.

"If anything were to happen to here, I would never forgive myself!" Sora screamed as he got a little closer to Kairi. He slowly reached his hand out towards her. But just as he got closer, Sora felt a strange overwhelming feeling come over him. And before he realized it, he had a hand around Kairi's neck.

"I will do anything! Just please, I beg you, please let her go!" The words came out of Sora's mouth without him ever thinking. While the tears were still streaming down his face he, for some reason, found himself laughing. Laughing almost hysterically. He didn't even notice that he was now wearing the Organization cloak.

Sora continued to deliriously laugh as Kairi tried to push his hand off her neck. Internally though Sora was screaming at himself. He wasn't in control of his actions. He couldn't do anything, but watch the horrifying scene out in front of him.

The darkness from the ground started to wrap around him again. He didn't move this time. He couldn't move. Everything just became a large blur as the air just became heavier and heavier.

In a bright flash Sora opened his eyes and woke up in bed. Noticing that his covered had wrapped around his head, he quickly threw them off and let the cool fresh air flow over him. His breathing had increased a lot and he couldn't slow it down. His whole body was shaking and trembling and tears were streaming down his face.

Sora laid on his side as he brought his knees to his chest as he started to wiped the tears from his eyes, "Not again…" Sora mumbled as he looked around the room. Trying to get his eyes to focus on his surrounding. Hoping that everything...everything truly was only a nightmare. But as soon as his eyes adjusted, he saw the grey walls. The grey walls of the Castle that Never Was. Sora then let more tears form in his eyes as he reminded himself that even if he woke up from a nightmare...he still was living one everyday.

Okay, so that's where I felt like ending it.
I hope you all enjoyed. Let me know what you guys think of this.

And for those who read my other stories, I am working on them, just have been very busy with class stuff.
Maybe one day I'll write more Soranort stuff. Who knows. Depends how I feel about it.
