The new castle, the new scene and a whole new life. Everyone was happy, all except those whom would rather be left alone. "We've got to stick together!" Yeah, I remember that... Man, was I wrong to say it. But I guess you could just pass life by and ignore them. So, here we are, at the beginning of my story, still not finished yet. And so begins our new life and skies the limit.
Everyone's stuff had been unloaded from the moving truck and put into place. How we managed to fit me, my friends and Organization 13 in the castle, I haven't a clue. Of course, not everyone from the Organization was there. Xemnas believed it was wrong to leave (in his words) his "PRECIOUS CASTLE!" But, he's not the type of guy I know who'd make sacrifices. Especially not to have a life... It all started, at 6am...
"WAKE UP!" I shouted as I ran down the stairs joyfully. The sun shining, the sky a clear blue and NOTHING could get in my way. As I ran, I tripped... Yeah Yuffie, great idea. Nope, I didn't hurt myself, but damn was I stupid.
"You alright there Yuffs?" Asked Marluxia walking to the end of the stairs.
"YEAH FINE! GOTTA GO, CYA LATER!" I didn't really have to go, just wanted to wander around... I jumped back up and sprinted towards the front door. Swinging it open, only to find Vincent walking towards the castle from outside. "Morning Vinnie! Neat day huh? Wow, look at the time. Got to go! Bye!" Vincent just gave me a strange look and kept walking. The wind blowing through my hair, me running along the path smiling. "Morning Yuffs!" called Cid from the bench where he was happily sitting with Barret. Barret said nothing, and just carried on staring at the floor in a daze. Feeling so lively, I front flipped down the path and turned back watching the castle become smaller and smaller as I ventured further away. I stopped at the entrance to the woods which supposedly led to the secret sacrificial temple. Being as venturous as I am, I decided to take a look. I mean, it couldn't be anything bad... right? I walked round and round in circles and found nothing. "Damn... Which direction did I come in from?" I asked myself. I was lost. I stepped forward, and felt myself being dragged through the floor. Nope, nothing grabbed my foot; it was a hole in the ground... As I slid through the muddy passage-way, I screamed at the top of my lungs trying to grab someone's attention. At the bottom lay a small shrine. It looked as if no-one had been here for years... It was a shrine for a young girl named "Melanie" I'd feel so guilty if I was trespassing here, so I looked for a way out. To my surprise, stuck against the wall was a ladder. I carefully climbed up the rusted ladder, it took a while but eventually I got to the top. I climbed out to realise I was sat behind a large oak tree. "... I'M BACK WHERE I STARTED?!" Well, I thought I was. Then, I got up, brushed the mud off of me and looked ahead to see the most beautiful place I'd ever seen. A waterfall, with hundreds of flowers in bloom and the sweet smell of the near-by sea. I sat down by a rock, and looked at the millions of trees surrounding the secret location. I lay down on a flat rock right next to the water-fall, staring at the sky. 'Man... What a nice place. Looks like no-ones been here for years... Shame really' I thought. My eyes began to slowly close and before I knew it, I was drifting off into a deep sleep. When I woke up, I was lying in a pile of flowers. I sat up, and to my amazement it was night-time. I wondered how long I'd been there. 'The others must be worried...' I stood up and headed toward the oak tree, to find it wasn't there. I began to panic and looked around for an escape. Yet, it was no use... I thought 'What if I'm stuck here forever? What if I never get back?' It must've been at least 9pm. I get up and headed towards the left of the forest. I tripped over a branch and began rolling down a steep hill. I started screaming even louder than before and eventually rolled into something. Oh yay... a tree... I hit my back on it so hard, I couldn't move for about an hour. I watched as the stars appeared one by one in the sky. I eventually got the strength to get up and try to find the nearest escape. I found a gap between two trees and stepped out into the wilderness. I looked up. The castle! I was home! 'But how?' I wondered. I began running down the rest of the hill to hear my name being shouted several times by Axel, Roxas and Cloud. "Here I am!" I shouted running up to them.
"Yuffie!" Roxas looked at me confused. "What happened?"
"Long story, can't explain, need the bathroom. BADLY!" I ran inside, not only needing the bathroom but needing to tell someone about what happened. After going to the bathroom, I went straight to bed. Not saying goodnight to anyone, but just walking upstairs. As I walked past the living room, everyone looked round.
"Yuffie!" Called out Tifa smiling. I just kept walking upstairs and went to my room. Seeing as my room was one of the last, it took me a while to find. Everyone's rooms were in alphabetical order due to the confusion of who was staying where. I walked into my room, took off my jacket and changed straight into my pajamas. I felt so exhausted... 'What a day it's been'. Just before drifting off to sleep, I had an image of a girl stood in front of me. I suddenly heard a voice...
"Tell no-one of where you've been today... Or suffer the consequences... This is our little secret." I opened my eyes and sat up quickly. Just to see someone standing there in the corner of the room staring right back at me... Pitch black, no-where to run, trying to scream with no voice... 'What's going on?!'
