Chapter One....(I'll think of the Chapter title later, Gahd!)
"Elora, do you have all you need?"
"Yes I do, I'm missing my 100...."
"Out, out, out!!"
"But my munny?"
"NO!"
The door slammed in my face outside, so I walked away. I still had 1300 munny left so 100 wasn't a big deal. Oh Shit! The train leaves in 30min. It takes an hour just to walk there. Shit! Shit! I make it there just in time because I ran. The train leaves to some place other than TwiLight Town. According to Tira, all the worlds are still connected and TwiLight Town is trying to get the train tracks and stations on other worlds. So far we've got stations on Traverse Town and Radiant Garden. I'm tired.
I wake up and the train comes to a stop.
"Radiant Garden! Next stop TwiLight Town!"
I nearly run off the train. About ten feet in front of me was Leon and Yufi. Tira told me about them.
"Hey are you Leon and Yufi?"
Leon, "What do you want?"
"I'm looking for someone, her name is Tira."
Yufi, "Your friends?! Cool! I just love her cat ears!!"
"Yeah...ok. Have you seen her lately?"
Leon, "Last time we saw her was 2 months ago."
Yufi, "but if you stick around she's bound to show up. Oh Leon can she stay with us?! Please!!!"
"I don't want to get in the way I can manage myself. Is there any apartments around here?"
Yufi, "No but there is an inn right over there" she pointed east "it called Radiant Garden Inn."
"Thank you. Goodbye until we meet again." I walked over to the Inn. Inside was a heavy, set man with a very cheery look upon him.
"Why, hello there Miss! Can I offer you a room for 500 munny a week? It's pretty cheap around hear in these parts."
Oh shit, I only have 1200 munny left! I notice help wanted sign.
"I'll take it and I need a job."
" Well ok then. I need a waitress so you can have the job and I'll deduct 500 munny each week pay for room."
" Thank you!!!"
"Your room number 13. Up the stairs and to the right at the end of the hall. Here's the key and your shift starts tomorrow at 8am sharp."
"Thank you so much." I darted up the stairs to my room. Oh god was it small. Oh well at least it's a place to stay. Oh wow it's already 10:00pm might as well sleep.
*Beep...Beep...BEEp...BEEP...BEEP...*
"Ahh!" jerking out of bed. The alarm clock read 6:45am. It's been months I've lived here. Working as a waitress at Radiant Garden Inn. "Stupid alarm..." I murmured to myself as I turned the alarm off. I brushed out my hair, put my clothes on, and head down stairs to clean the tables and have breakfast.
"Good morning! Welcome to Radiant Garden Inn! How may I help you, room or meal?" I said. The man was wearing a black clock and his face was covered so I couldn't see his face.
"I'm meeting someone here" he passed me and sat at a near by booth.
"Can I get you anything to drink or eat?"
"Just some coffee nothing else."
"Alright I'll be right back."
His voice was familiar but I couldn't put my finger quite on it. Who is he?
"Here you go, sir. Would you like some creamer or sugar?"
"No thank you."
"I'm sorry but I must ask...do I know you by any chance you sound extremely familiar?"
"Possibly..."
"What's your name, if I may ask?"
"Does it matter?"
I thought for a second, "Yeah...it does..."
"Why?"
"Because, I'm looking for some people. And you sound like one of them...my brother Ale...I haven't seen him in years."
"What's your name, if I may ask?"
"Elora...but people just call me El"
"I am not him, I knew him if that helps. My name is still not to be shared."
"Well do you have any idea where my brother is?"
"Castle Oblivion last I knew. But you can't get there unless your a nobody and I highly dout you are one."
"Where is it?"
"In the realm of darkness."
"I remember that place but the last time I was there, it was in ruins and I was cast into a dark portal and was sent to TwiLight Town."
"......"
The door opened and I had to go back to work. Nearly an hour passed, and his friend came and they both left. I still wondered who he was. Yufi came running in saying "Come on!!! Tira's here!"
"I can't, I have to work... can you please send her here?"
"Ok I'll go get her, be right back."
Two hours passed and she comes back with my familiar cat-eared friend.
"Miss. Hello Kitty!"
"*Hiss* DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
We burst out laughing. Behind her were 2 boys.
"Elora this is Sora and Riku. Also I thought you were in TwiLight Town, but your here working as a waitress."
"Yeah they kicked me out of the orphanage and besides I was planning to leave after you left."
"Oh yeah I forgot about their policy..."
Both Riku and Sora were silent. Then some kid came running in half scared to death screaming "Nobodies!! They're everywhere!!"
"Not again" Sora complained and Tira was annoyed. I get my semi-automatics "Need help." We ran outside and it was the man in the black cloak again surrounded by these white creatures.
"Get the girl with red hair! Kill the others!" What the hell!? We begin to fight and a shot at everyone of them but none of them seemed to be harmed. What the fuck!? They should be dead!The man in the black cloak started to run away and I followed him, "Elora don't go after him!" But I ignore Tira's warning. He ran into an ally and Tira was out of hearing range. *BAM!* Something hit me in the back of the head. I see his feet and black out.
I wake up in a white room. Where the hell am I? I hear voices around me.
"Who is this, Axel, and why did you bring her here?!" a high pitched voice said filled with anger.
"She's my sister and face it we need a 13th member, got it memorized? Ever since Roxas left, we've only have 12 members."
"Did you get the 'o.k.' with Mansex?"
"No...not yet, anyway's..."
"Well then get 'rid' of her!"
"No she's my sister and I know you have your feelings back like the rest of us since we went into the nothing! Show some compassion!"
"As if!"
I murmured "Ale? Is that you? Did you change your name?"
Both dart out of the room and I black out once more.
When I wake up again in the same room but the lights are off. I hear a deep voice next to me. "Hello? What are you doing here?"
"I don't know why and how I got here. Have you seen my brother Ale?"
"I think you mean Axel...he is a nobody now. And I haven't seen him yet. What's your name?"
"Elora, why?"
"Just wondering. Do you have special abilities?"
"I don't know." I sat up and a sharp pain stabs me in the head. "Gah!! My head!!"
"That's to be expected" Too late dumb ass!! "Your brother says that you're a dead eye with ranged weapons."
"He still remembers? I can hit a target 200 yards away without a scope."
"Would you like to join Organization XIII?"
"Why not? As long as I'm with my brother."
"Your name is now Exalor. Go see Larxene about your cloak."
He left. I get up and leave the room as well and I walk through the halls until found a room that was like a living room, a dude with dread locks, another dude with short blond hair and another dude that looked emo were playing poker and a chick with pink hair was on the couch reading porn manga.
"Hello I'm looking for someone named Larxene." Pink hair "You must be Axel's sister. Watch your back around Larxene, she'll throw a dart at you when your backs turned if you piss her off." Holy shit that's a dude!!!! "Go up the stairs to the second floor and go to the door with chains and lighting bolts all over it."
"Thanks"
I go up the stairs and I find her door. Holy...That's scary... *knock, knock, knock* A blond haired woman opens the door and damn she's beautiful and her hair had two parts that went up and to the sides of her head. With a high pitched voice that rang "What do you want?"
"Um... I was sent here to get a cloak...?"
"Hold on." She slams the door and opens it. Throws a cloak in my face and slams the door again. The cloak fits perfectly! I go back down stairs to meet the others. Sit at the table and watch them play poker.
"What are your names?"
"I'm Zexion"(emo kid)
"Xaldin"(dread locks)
"Luxord and you are?"(short blond hair)
"My name is Elora but that one dude changed it to Exalor."
Zexion, "You have to go with that name from now on."
"Um...Why?"
Luxord, "Because your with the Organization XIII now and your nobody."
"But I'm not a nobody though."
Zexion, "Do you have a heart?"
"Yeah but most of the time its not there."
Xaldin, "Well that's odd." The rest of us where staring at him and all of us were most likely thinking the same thing like No shit shurlock I was being sarcastic!
"I'm sorry but what's up the dread locks man?"
Xaldin, "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY HAIR!!!"
"Ooooo. Scary." The other two had 'fear' written all over their faces.
Xaldin, "Take that back!"
"Make me." I challenged and his face turned red with anger and stormed off.
Luxord, "You're most likely to be the first person to talk back to Xaldin about his hair. Talk about suicidal."
"Why is it suicidal? I just said his hair looked funny and it's not like he's going to kill me just for that."
Luxord, "heh...heh...heh..."
Zexion, " I suggest you go, Exalor, before Luxord challenges you to strip poker."
"Ok...thanks for the warning. Can you show me around the castle?"
Zexion, "...ah...um...I...ah...um..."
Luxord, "Ok since you're trying to makeup an excuse not to show her around then we'll just play poker."
" How about no... Zexion just show me around please."
Zexion, "Fine follow me."
About half way through the little tour I spot Edym. I ditch Zexion and run to Edym. He sees me as I run into him with a hug.
"Elora? What are you doing here?"
"I don't know but some how I joined the organization and this dude changed my name to Exalor."
"He changed my name too. It's Demyx now. But this is great we can be together now."
An old surfer dude with an eye patch comes up to us and I let go of Demyx.
"Who's the chick, bro?"
"She's Exalor. You could say we were high school sweet hearts before I became a nobody." Flashing an innocent smile.
"Oh cool. I'm Xigbar but you can call me Xiggy, ya dig?"
"Sorry not my type."
"Well... ok... laters!"
"He seems like a lot of fun, huh?"
"Yep..." A few seconds later we burst out laughing. I forgot how amazingly good I felt being with him. Just seeing him makes my heart sing, but does it still sing for him?
