: So this is a remake of a story I made back in 2011 when i was only 13, the original was in French and very crappy but I'm taking it in for a makeover! I never got too far with it (3 chapters lol) but with Kingdom Heart 3 closer than ever, I can't resist writing about my favorite game. So! Updates should be quite slow, maybe once a month, so don't panic if you don't see anything new for a few weeks!! I have 4 chapters done already and I'll try to keep it so that I have a few in advance at all time. In case I don't have the time to write for a while (*sighs* Uni will be the death of me I swear)
First chapter is really short but they should get longer as time goes on. So enjoy this little pilot chapter and tell me what you think!
Chapter 1 - Pilot
Have you ever had dreams that just seemed so real you couldn't believe it was only fantasy? Caught a glimpse of something that shouldn't be here when you were awake? Or maybe you've ever had a feeling, not really caring about it, but in the back of your mind, begging to be noticed. As if something, somehow, was going to change your whole life.
The dusty pink haired girl sitting in front of her tv, chilling without a care in the world, was about to experience it firsthand. In about a minute, there would be an ad, a very simple ad, but one that could very well change everything she knew. She wouldn't notice immediately, but it would be there, like an itch. Asking to be scratched.
She had the sudden urge to get up and take a walk, get some fresh air. But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she decided not to. In the next split second, her attention is brought back to the screen, the ad appearing, her eyes glued to the display. As soon as the advertisement is over, the young girl gets up and walks out of her home.
She walks up to the small gaming store a few streets over, eyes blank, and automatically heads over the PlayStation 2 aisle. As her fingers brush over the game, a small spark can be seen, disappearing just as soon as it came. She walked up to the cash register and delicately placed the game down.
"Hey Kitten, didn't see you come in!" The cashier smiled brightly at the younger girl, pleasantly surprised. She only asked if she could buy the game, not paying attention to her friend, which worried him a little. "Sure, yeah of course you can! It just came in this morning." The young adult paused for a moment, "But uh Are you sure? It's a bit expensive for you, you never buy new releases..."
"Yes." The older man looked at her oddly, she wasn't looking at him, her eye trained on the game, unblinking.
"Are you okay? You seem out of it..." He nudged her shoulder a little, breaking her out of the weird trance. Her eyes blinked rapidly, as if washing away the events of the past ten minutes. As she came to her senses, she grew visibly confused, not remembering how she ended up here.
"Huh? What the- How did I end up here! Kenneth?" Her eyes looked around, frantically trying to remember how she came here, "The hell, did you kidnap me or some shit, you sicko?" She panicked a little, but obviously joking with the boy, trying to mask how unnerved she was by the situation.
Kenneth rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, "...That's what I thought... "He gestured towards the game "Here. You came for this. Should I put it back or are you still buying it?"
"I- uh yeah, I'll take it" Lost and unsure, the short girl brushed off the weird feeling and decided to check out what brought her here, actually remembering the ad she saw before leaving the house, about the game she was currently buying: Kingdom Hearts. She had a... feeling about it, not sure whether it was a good feeling or not, she determined she would find out herself.
"Here you go, I'll give you a friendly reduction since you're always coming here, Kitten!" The girl froze and puffed up her cheeks, a rosy tint growing on her face. She didn't like being called like that, it only reminded her of how small and defenseless she looked, and she didn't like looking helpless. She whacked him across the head, muttering a small sorry after she saw him rubbing his scalp.
She handed him the money, the two friends sharing a quick goodbye before she rushed out of the store, anxious to get to the bottom of this whole thing.
Once she came back home, she lunged at the gaming console, rushing to launch the game. A few minutes in, she couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity that came along with the game. Where could she have seen this before, she wondered. The short ad she had seen only showed the jacket of the game. Suddenly, a voice emerged from deep within her mind.
"I'll come back for you, I promise!"
Ocean eyes came and went through her head, along with the promise. Her breath got caught in her throat and she was filled with a feeling of confused joy, as her mind repeated one word over and over again. Sora.
Author's note:
So, what did you think? I promise it'll be less confusing as we get further into the story, but the first chapters will be...well..very vague, because even our little bean doesn'tknow what's going on! Next chapter, you'll finally learn her name haha don't worry I didn't forget :)
