A Dream Within A Dream
Hey there! I'm Odd and I'm back! With 2, count them TWO stories! Updated in the SAME day! sniff sniff I'm so proud... This is my first 'Kingdom Hearts' story, so I really need you to tell me if you like it or not. This chapter might be a little confusing, but it'll all make sense soon. This will be a Sora/oc (original charector) story. PS: Any words that have a after them will have a definition at the end of the chapter. Just so you aren't too confused!
Chaptor one- Oblivion
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
'A Dream Within A Dream'
Edgar Allan Poe
Wake up child.
Where am I?
You are here.
Who are you?
It's time to wake up, he'll be here soon.
Who? Who will be here soon?
Your destiny.
But why?
Does it matter?
They will be here soon. Your world will be covered in darkness. There will be nothing left. Discover your power young one. Open the door.
Open the door...What door? Who will be here. Why will everything be in darkness. Why...When I already am..
It's too late! They're here! Sora! Find him, he is the key to the door.
WHAT DOOR! PLEASE! TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!
WAKE UP!
"WHO ARE YOU!" Screaming, a girl shot up in bed. She looked around wildly. 'Nothing out of place.' She thought to herself. 'It was nothing. Only a...dream.'
Find him...He is the key...
She gripped her head as the voice rang through it.
He's here, your destiney. FIND HIM!
She screamed again. Suddenly hundreds of black things sprang from the shadows of her room. All their eyes turned to the center of the room, where a human shaped shadow was growing.
The girl stared in shock. What were these...things...Why were they in her room?
A boy. A tall, masculine, silver haired boy emerged from the shadow.
This was her? This...beauty? This velumpsious girl infront of him was the final power? Riku just couldn't beleive it. She was beautiful, but...she looked so...fragile. There was nothing in her claret eyes, only sadness, only pain, only betrail. (sp?) Just like his.
"Who...are you?"
Who was he? This empty, aquamarine eyed boy. He scared her, Almost as much as her father did.
"Riku."
"Ri..ku.. Why are you here? Are you an orphan too?"
"No. Im here..for Creed."
"What do you want with Creed? Is she important to you?"
"The darkness needs her. She is the key to our power. She..is destiny."
"I...am truly sorry Riku. Creed...she...she's gone." The girl bowed he head.
"Gone?" He asked skepticly, raising an eyebrow.
"She died...because of her father. "
'Chikuso This is just great. Malifecent won't be pleased...'
'So? Since when is that witch in charge of you.?'
Riku shook his head slightly. Stupid voices. He looked to the girl again. She was stretching, her thick chestnut curls spilling over her shoulders and into her face. A thought struck him.
"If you aren't Creed, then who are you?"
"I am Creed, in a sense."
"What? You make no sense girl."
"I am nothing. "
Her claret eyes bore into him, making him nervous.
"Leave Riku. Her soul is no longer here."
"I'll leave when I feel like it...Creed."
Riku advanced towards her.
"Lies, no matter how convincing, will NOT fool me. The darkness raidiating from you is greater than all of the others, even more than the crooks , the murderers. You are Creed. You are the key."
"I'm not! I'm Jaden, I'm a person, not a key! I can't open any door..."
Riku's eyes widend. He hadn't said anything about the door. How did she know?
"Sora..." she murmered, her eyes glazed, "Sora...is..MY destiny... "
"SORA! That weakling isn't ANYONE'S destiny! I am! I'm supposed to be the one, not him! Maleficent said so..."
"..You've been had..."
Riku stared. She was about to be kidnapped, and this girl, Jaden she says, stares him in the face, calmly and quietly, and tells him lies. Then goes on to talk about Sora, and now...he didn't know what she was saying.
"You have been lied to boy...Riku. That witch doesn't care about you or Kairi. She's using you for her domination. You WILL be destroyed."
"What's going on?" Riku started backing away from the girl. Her eyes... they weren't hers anymore...they were vermillion. And her voice...it wasn't her's...
"Listen, and listen well. I am destiny. I know all. You have not the power to wield Sora's keyblade, nor will you ever. Maleficent is trying to change YOUR destiny. Sora can't do this alone. Your destiny is to be with him, on the side of good, fighting AGAINST Maleficent! She has given you a weapon that clouds your eyes and binds you to her spell. She is blinding you to the truth! Riku...Sora is not your enemy. He is fighting to save you, Kairi, and all worlds. Fight with him, do not doubt what is in your heart. The keyblade is not yours, the dark sword that unlocks people's hearts is not yours. The Opalescent Sword is yours. It's in a new world you havn't been to, hidden to all but you, if you open your eyes. Everyone, and everything will be there."
"What's going on! Who and what will be there? Stop being so vague, dammit!"
Riku shot up in his bed, struggling for breath. 'What's going on? What did it all mean?'
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
'A Dream Within A Dream'

CHIKUSO- I think it means something like 'dammit' in jappaneese. I've lost my list, Oh no!
OPALESCENT-reflecting irridescent light, meaning the rainbow display of colors that can be seen on soap bubbles. (Haha! Riku gets a rainbow key! . )
