Exylim's Story

Come stop your crying, it will be all right
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here don't you cry
For one so small, you seem so strong
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm
This bond between us cant be broken
I will be here don't you cry
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always
Why cant they understand the way I feel
They just don't trust what they cant explain
I know were different but deep inside us
Were not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always
Don't listen to them, cause what do they know
We need each other, to have and to hold
They'll see in time, I know
When destiny calls you, you must be strong
I may not be with you, but you gotta hold on
They'll see in time, I know
Well show them together cuz...
You'll be in my heart
I believe, you'll be in my heart
Ill be there from this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart always
Always...
Ill be with you
Ill be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Ill be there always

Ienzo sighed softly, looking at his 2 year old sister. "Don't you forget who I am." He said to her. I never will, I promise. Ienzo blinked, confused. He looked around, then at his sister but she couldn't talk yet. "Who said that? Is there someone here?" he asked his sister. "No, what am I thinking. We'll meet again someday." With that, he pulled out his favorite book, tucking the song behind the last page and glued it to the inside back cover. He put it on her book case. Taking one last look at his sister, he left the house, running away to apprentice Ansem the Wise.

12 years later

"Honey, time to get up!" Yawning, Emily rolled out of bed only to fall face flat on the floor. "Owww! Not again!" she exclaimed angrily, tears collecting in the corners of her amber eyes. Blinking them away, she changed into a pair of black jeans and put on a black sleeveless shirt. The chains around her wrists clinked together as she grabbed her shoes on the way out of her room along with her backpack. Racing down stairs, she said hi to her dad, grabbed some food, and ran down to the Sandlot.

"Here she is," a boy shouted. Emily turned to the voice to see 2 boys walking towards her. "Geez, what took you so long?" "Oh I know Pence; she fell out of bed again." The second boy replied. "Shut up Hayner! Oh, yeah, we better start running, we're going to be late again." Emily said back. As the 3 kids ran off, 2 people in black cloaks with their hoods up talked to each other softly. "Are you sure she's the one?" One of them asked the other. "I'm sure she's the one, Saïx." Saïx pulled down this hood, shook out his blue hair and shot the other hooded person an uncertain look as they walked into a portal.

"Emily! Earth to Emily," Hayner said knocking lightly on Emily's head. "What?!" Emily asked, slightly annoyed. "Pence and I were just saying we should meet at the station later. Can you meet us there?" Hayner asked. "Umm… sure… I'll meet you there… after school…" Emily said, deep in thought. She was thinking about the strange dreams she kept having. She saw in her dream a boy with blue hair covering one of his eyes. He held a book in his hand. Maybe it has something to do with that book. Maybe it's in my room… Emily thought.

"Do you think she'll notice if we drew on her face with our paint?" "I don't know, lets find out!" Emily felt something wet on her face. "AHH!" Emily shouted as she fell of her chair. Sitting up she touched the wet spot, only to find it was water. "Ha-ha, very funny," Emily said as she glared at her 2 friends. "Is everything alright?" Emily looked up to see her teacher standing over her. "Y-Yes ma'am," Hayner and Pence pretended to be surprised to see her on the ground as their teacher looked at them, then walked off to talk to some of the other students. "Gee, thanks guys. Now I feel like crying," Emily said as her friends helped her off the ground. "Glad to be of service!" Emily threw her paintbrush at Hayner, hitting him in the head. "Hey! That hurt! How come you hit me in the head? I wasn't…" DING, DING, DING. The bell cut of what Hayner was saying. "Hey wait up!" Hayner shouted as Emily and Pence left him, racing down the hall to the courtyard.

Later that day

Emily looked through her bookcase, finding no book that looked like the book the boy in her dreams held. "Come on Emily!" Pence shouted to Emily. "Hayner could have climbed the station tower 5 times already!" Sighing, Emily stood up and followed Pence out the door. She and Pence ran up the hill to the station, finding Hayner, who was pretending to be asleep. Faking a yawn, Hayner asked, "What took you so long? What were you 2 doing?" "I'll tell you when we get to the top," Emily, who looked deep in thought, replied.

Saïx and another hooded figure watched them run up the stairs. "The girl, that's the one Xemnas said was the one." The hooded figure asked, "Why her? Why not one of the boys?" Saïx sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, Xigbar, I don't know. Xemnas hasn't told me yet." Xigbar pulled his hood off, revealing his long ponytail and a black eye patch over his right eye. "So let's go get her." "Not yet," Saïx hissed. "We'll get her in 6 days." He opened a portal and walked in. I wonder what's so special about her Xigbar thought as he followed Saïx.

That night

The boy beckoned her to come… He held the book up and said "In the bookcase is this book, a gift to you from me. It was my favorite and will help you later on in life. You need to have the book with you at all costs." "Where is the book? I couldn't find it. Who are you?" Emily franticly asked the boy, but he smiled, then faded away. Emily felt the ground disappear from beneath her. Falling, falling into nothingness…

Sweat dripped of Emily's forehead as she sat up, looking around. "The second shelf." Emily got up and looked on the second shelf of her bookcase. She felt something guide her hand to a book and she pulled it out. It was the book the boy in her dreams held!

Looking at the book, Emily could faintly read the title, which said: Illusion and Levitation. Looking inside, Emily noticed the book was hand written, including sketches of the mind, the body, and the eye. Flipping to the end of the book, she noticed the last page was glued to the back cover. Peeling the page back, Emily pulled a slip of paper out of the book. It was a song. Suddenly, she remembered making a promise to the boy, promising never to forget him. He had given her the book and the song when he left her. Who is he? What does he want from me? How does he know me? I wonder if he knows my name. I'll ask him tomorrow… Emily thought to herself, falling onto her pillow, asleep.

School, next day

Emily was in deep thought all morning, ignoring Hayner and Pence. "What do you think is on her mind?" Hayner asked Pence. "I don't know. Maybe we should ask her after school." Pence answered as they followed Emily down the hall. "It must be something big. She's been like this all morning. Maybe her family is moving." Worrying, Hayner sat next to Emily in their next class, trying to distract her and get her to talk to him. That didn't work.

After school, as Emily walked down an alleyway, Hayner tackled her as Pence blindfolded her and tied her hands together. "Hey!! Let me go you guys. This isn't funny!" Emily tried to stand up, but Pence held her down. "We'll let you go as soon as you tell us what's been on your mind all day." "It's none of your business so leave me alone." Emily said tartly. Knowing that she couldn't get away from her friends, she sighed, then said, "Okay, fine. Remember this?" Emily said as she stuck out her arm. "We remember." Hayner and Pence replied together, held their forearms against hers. "I promise that I'm telling the truth." Emily said. "We promise to believe you no matter how crazy it sounds." Hayner and Pence recited.

"Good," Emily said. "For the week or so, I've been having dreams about a boy with indigo colored hair. In my dreams, he wore a black coat and held a book. I found the book last night. I've been reading it and so far it's about illusions and levitation. In the back of the book there was piece of paper with a song on it." Hayner and Pence thought for a minute, then Hayner said, "We need to find out who he is and how he knows you. How old do you think he is?" Emily thought, then replied, " I don't know. He looks older in every dream I have. Let's go to my house, that is, if you plan on releasing me." Emily said with a grin. Pence untied her hands, then took the blindfold of as she stood up and stretched. Then, without warning, Emily sprinted down the alley, leaving Hayner and Pence in a cloud of dust, coughing.

Authors note: For those who actually read my story, sorry about all the alerts and stuff. I had to go back and fix things. Anyways I do not own the Kingdom Hearts seiries or the story line. None of the characters are mine exept Emily/Exylim. She is a character whom I created after myself. The name Exylim was suggested to me by The Hero Hartmut, whom I don't know if they have a FF account. The title is a name my friend DarkEriksRedRose came up with. I owe her alot. She is the one who turned me on to KH and Final Fantasy. Thank you!
