Chapter 1: Storm

I wondered for a while..

...And now it seems to be true

But really..

Could dreams be memories?

Could memories be dreams?

Does that make reality a nightmare?

Or is the nightmare, reality?

The rain was pouring quite heavily that night. The wind lashed out, bringing down trees and power lines. Thunder, producing false day light. Although, that didn't stop them from fulling their duties.

"It's time." Said a bearded man in a black coat. He was walking next to a small mouse-like figure.

His companion looked at him, rain water dripping from his nose. "Are you this is the right time Master? Remember the last time you two were together wasn't a pleasant one."

The old man looked grim, sad even. "The darkness," he began. "I sense, is stirring once more. Now I fear will be the only time to bring her back. Do not forget Mickey, that she is to be here when their time comes. I know our last meeting wasn't pleasant but maybe now she will understand why she had to wait."

The bearded man turned and opened a portal of light. Before entering, who said something to mouse, now named Mickey. He nodded as his friend left with a flash of white light. Mickey pulled a strange looking key-like weapon and stared at it for a moment, remembering a memory that always brought a smile to his face. He put the weapon away and continued walking to the house where a girl slept with false memories.

I woke with a start. Well it wasn't due to bad dreams or anything, it was because of the storm outside. I sighed and pulled off the covers and looked outside my window. Rain was pouring and thunder was booming. So nothing out of the ordinary. How annoying to wake up to early in the summer. I pushed my light brown hair out of my face and looked again outside but this time, there was an odd figure walking up to the house.

"Strange.." I muttered to myself.

"Yeah, you really are," said a familiar voice.

I nearly jumped, then crossed my arms when I saw my older brother Jake with his blonde hair a mess from sleeping, holding my little brother's hand, Sam, in the door way. I should really leave it closed, I thought. "What are you two doing up so late?"

"Sam had a nightmare. He woke up and came to my room asking if he could sleep with me. Of course I said yes but the little guy wants milk. We were walking by your room and saw you awake." Jake told me.

I walked up to Sam Sam was only eight years old with blonde hair like Jake's but he had green eyes instead of blue. Like me. He rubbed his eye. "Hey Sammy, you okay?"

He nodded. "It was.. just a bad dream but I wanna sleep with big brother."

I tousled his hair and looked at Jake. "Why don't you go make room for Sam, I'll get the milk, savvy?" I smirked.

Jake laughed quietly. "Yeah sure, just don't get caught up talking to yourself."

I rolled my eyes while he walked back to his room and lead Sam into the kitchen. Well that's Jake for ya. He is seventeen, only three years older than me. Jake is pretty athletic though I can run circles around him, so can Sam. Anyway, he always likes to tease me, you know the whole sibling rivalry. He also plays pranks on me too, like once he and Sam decided to a bucket of water over my bedroom door. You can guess what happened next. I have yet to get him back but I will.

Pulling the jug of milk out of the fridge, there was another lightning strike followed by a clap of thunder. Sam gasped. I turned to him and set the milk on the table.

"Sam its just a storm, it will pass." He still looked scared. Not knowing what else to say, I sighed and got a cup for him.

"My nightmare... was about you, Mayu." Sam spoke behind me. I turned towards him, clutching my purple star-like necklace and he continued. "They were strange people there and they wanted to hurt you and they said they would hurt me."

He looked at me in the eyes. "It was just a dream right?"

I hesitated. "Yeah... Sam it was just a nightmare." I poured him his glass of milk and sent him to bed with Jake.

Sam's dream bothered me. No it wasn't very detailed at all but I have dreams that are very similar to his. Usually I am running from someone who wants to kill me for something I did. Yeah I am a trouble maker but I've never done anything to someone that they would want to kill me and besides, it was just a dream (that kept repeating itself), um right?

Another clap of thunder.

Realizing how tired I was, I began up the stairs to my room. I only got up to steps when something caught my eye. I looked to my left and saw a pair of giant ears at my window... like a mouse. Being the curious little person I am, I peered out the window and saw nothing but rain. Okay, so maybe I am seeing things? This time I saw something else. A black shadow began crawling along the sidewalk outside. I grabbed my jacket, hanging on the metal hook by the door, slipped on a pair of boots over my pajama pants and ran outside.

The black shadow stopped in front of the mailbox. Another one joined it. The shadows loomed upward, manifesting into a black creature with claws, antennas, and luminous yellow eyes. They staggered towards me.

"What the.." I trailed off. I wasn't sure whether to run or scream.

So I did both.

I ran back to the house where a small boy stood with blonde hair. Please don't tell me... "Sam? Get back in the house!" He didn't budge. Instead he scream something at me.

My necklace began to glow as I turned around to see that the black creature was about to attack me. Next, someone or something in a black coat stood in front of me with a familiar key-like weapon. He ran forward, jumped, and slashed downward on the shadows, defeating a few of them.

For some reason... this all felt too familiar.

I ran to Sam, only to have more of those shadow creatures appear in front of me out of nowhere. I backed up and yelled at Sam again but he still didn't listen, The odd figure in the black hoodie jumped over me and struck the shadows down again. He landed with grace.

Lightning flashed.

"Are you alright?" He asked me in a unusual high voice. He pulled his hood down, revealing two giant ears like a.. a mouse.

"Mickey?" The name escaped from my lips. Of course I him from all the cartoons I watched but... no, it was more than that,

He appeared to be surprised as if he wouldn't expect me to know his name. "You remember me? Never mind that, I have to get you out of here."

Remember him? Shaking my head I looked over Sam. That idiot, why didn't he go inside? I didn't have time for this. "What are you talking about? Get me out of here, to where? Why?"

"Mayu!" Sam yelled. I turned around and a horde of those shadows coming towards us. Mickey drew his key-like weapon and looked at me as if he expected me to fight them as well. But he couldn't possibly think that.. that wouldn't make any sense. Then again, what was happening right now was far from being normal... or was it?

"Listen, I know you don't understand what is happening at the moment but I need you help." He said, getting in a fighting stance. "Your necklace is like my weapon; the keyblade. It can defeat those shadows, which are heartless."

He wasn't serious, was he?

"All you need to do is pull back the star, think of your weapon and it will appear." He explained to me simply.

He was serious! But, right now was not the time to hesitate. I did as he said, my little purple star glowed and through a burst of light transformed into what he had called- a keyblade.

It was beautiful yet dangerous to those little shadows. The handle was black square-like shape with a silver grip in the middle. The body was silver with for long, thin, purple ribbons tied to it with a gold chain. Below the chain was a faded keyhole. The head was elegant but not a like a key as I would've imagined. Mickey's keyblade literally looked like a key but the head of it was a crown. Mine was nothing like that, it was all silver but shaped like a heart that was cut. Three rods were connected by a longer one going across them. Coming from that formed the top of the heart.

Looking back at Sam, I yelled, "Run inside, go to- wah!" The shadow or as Mickey called them, the heartless all jumped out at me and Mickey. Panicked and not thinking at all, I pointed my keyblade out and a white milky dome covered Mickey and I. As the heartless touched it, they disintegrated, leaving only pink hearts floating towards sky.

When the dome faded, Mickey just looked at me but there was no surprise on his face, nor any sign of what I apparently done to protect us, nothing but a glint in his eyes.

I looked at where Sam stood, thank goodness he finally listened to me. He wasn't there anymore and the door was still open. Screams in the houses near by erupted.

"Listen, we need to save these people, but only you can do this." He said to me. I really wanted to say I couldn't, I no idea how but... so far listening to him has already payed off. It only seemed right to listen.

I sighed and looked the short mouse. "So, what do I have to do to save this place then?"

"Your keyblade just might be able to lock this world and keep it safe from other heartless." He began telling me. He was about to continue when the storm picked up. A blood red hole appeared in the sky, creating a vortex that sucked everything in. Everything.

And if that didn't look bad, my idiot brother came back outside, heartless trailing behind him. I ran to him, keyblade in hand. I heard footsteps behind me, splashing through the newly formed puddles. I jumped over Sam and attacked the heartless. They were gone in a matter of seconds.

Behind was Mickey was comforting my brother, who no doubt was terrified. I went up to them and was about to ask what happened but the wind from the vortex grew stronger.

Too strong.

Sam lost ground and began flying towards the vortex. I jumped for him but only grazed his hands.

"Sam!"

"Mayu, lock the world- Whoaaa!" Mickey was lifted in the air, flailing. Then, I joined him.

This really isn't good, I thought to myself! What do I do? There wasn't anything to grab onto at all, the only thing in my hand was the keyblade. Wait, Mickey said to lock this world! Maybe there's still a chance to save it!

I pointed down the keyblade and hoped that this would work because honestly, I had no idea what I was doing.

The last thing I remember was a beam of white light coming from my keyblade, Sam yelling above me, and Mickey holding my hand.

Then, blackout.
