A/N: Be kind OK I'm proud of my writing but if you don't like it then please tell me in a nice way. I don't want to work on some thing i suck at. Oh by the way my characters name is pronounced No-ee and even though she seems like an OC character she really is an original Kingdom Hearts Character. I own nothing but the storyline. Thank you.
Noi woke up late but that wasn't unusual. She ran to school forgetting her skateboard and half her homework at home but that wasn't something strange for her. She got in an argument with her first period science teacher over whether or not she was late but again same old same old. She thought that was how her life was meant to be and believed nothing would change. That was until summer vacation rolled around. She always felt like she was different ever since she showed up in town a year and a half ago. She didn't talk much so she didn't have friends but that didn't bother her much, she liked being alone. She was thankful for Sam, the bar tender from the town bar, for taking her in and giving her a place to stay. There was always something wrong though. Almost like she wasn't where she should be. The nightmares only made matters worse. Something about fire...and light….a key…….and ice cream…….
Noi rolled down the street on her skateboard not really paying attention to where she was going. She had an ice cream popsicle in her mouth and focused on the flavor rather than let her thoughts wander. She weaved in and out of crowds in the park and down the town's large paved road down to the main square. She wished there weren't so many buildings blocking the sun light but unfortunately that was how the town was built. The park, the paved hill road, and pretty much the whole town was lined with apartments and buildings of all kinds. That was the true wonder of Titan City, nothing but sun. Noi pushed herself faster on her board wanting to be rid of the tall buildings sooner. She was relieved when she finally saw the break in the road that led to the main square. The largest part of the town was located here. It was so open and spacious that all the kids in town spent their time running around the area usually causing trouble or hanging out.
Noi looked around for familiar faces but couldn't pinpoint any. That was until something stopped her board causing her to stumble and almost fall flat on her face. "Well look what we have here." Noi looked up to see her least favorite faces in the whole world. Three boys stood above her. A brunet with brown eyes to match and a blond boy with creepy yellowish eyes stood behind their leader. The boy who spoke was a whole head taller than her with blue hair and silver eyes that were not friendly. Alex looked down at her in disgust. 'This newbie comes into our town and thinks she can just walk over everyone'. He snarled on the inside when his eyes met hers. "If it isn't No Life Noi. You talking yet? Or are you still too good for us?" Noi got up and brushed herself off as Alex's flunkies Jack and Chris laughed at his comment. She picked up her board that was currently under Alex's foot and turned to walk away. This made Alex even angrier. "Who do you think you are? I'm talking to you!" He said reaching out and yanking her back. She spun around to face him involuntarily. He grabbed the popsicle stick in her mouth and yanked it out throwing it to the pavement. "I expect a reply from you its only proper that you introduce yourself." Alex mocked. Noi gave him a bored look silently refusing to speak. He ground his teeth at her silence and pulled his fist back to hit her. By this time a crowd had formed and everyone gasped as his hand came toward her face. It stopped two inches from her nose before Alex keeled over. He held his stomach and groaned in pain as Noi walked away. The attacked was unexpected but she didn't flinch as she threw her fist into his abdomen. She decided her plans for the day were pretty much over, seeing as she was going to get busted by Sam when he found out about the incident because of course everyone knew everyone in this town. She put down her board and started to ride home whishing she had time to get another ice cream.
Sam was waiting for her when she got to the bar with ice cream and board in hand. She had finally given in on the ride back and took a couple extra minutes to get an ice cream for herself and a peace offering for Sam. She could see by the look on his face that it was going to take more than ice cream to get out of this one. Sam was a tall and very big man. He was nothing but muscle and had a short red beard with short red hear as well. He was in his mid thirties and was respected as well as feared throughout the whole town. Noi stood in the door way and waited for the onslaught. She closed her eyes and counted to ten but it didn't come. She peeked up at him to see he had gone to work cleaning the bar for tonight's customers. She walked in hesitantly and put down the brown paper bag with his ice cream on the bar counter before pulling out her own and sitting on one of the bar stools.
"What's that?" Sam's voice made Noi jump when it broke the silence. "Ice cream." She heard Sam sigh when she replied. "This can't go on Noi." He said with his back to her. She could hear that he sounded tired but she didn't know if it was from work or if he was just tired of her. "What?" she asked innocently trying to avoid this conversation. "You know what. You can't keep this up." He said turning around to face her with a stern face. Noi just looked at the ice cream in her hands. "I don't know what you mean." She replied simply. "You do whether you want to or not. You have caused nothing but trouble. Whether it be getting in fights with teachers or detention for talking back and being late. Now you and that boy are fighting in the streets. I don't know how you learned to fight or why you choose to annoy him and his friends but I want all of this to stop." He finished with a slightly reddened face and Noi turned her head away from him and her ice cream. "I can't I just…." He cut her of suddenly banging his hands on the counter. "Noi you're a good kid. I took you in because I could see that, don't tell me you can't. You're under my roof you live under my rules got it." Noi's lips twitched upward. 'What a cliché line.' She thought. Unfortunately it wasn't a joke to Sam. He sighed roughly to calm himself. "If you don't start behaving I'm going to have to punish you." He said and Noi's mouth dropped. "I don't want to have to but if you make me I'm going to have no choice." He looked into her shocked eyes. "But…You can't." She argued. "Noi I want you to be at home here but I can't have you causing trouble everywhere you go." His voice and lecture made Noi furious. "But I don't belong here! I don't even like it here, nothing is right and nothing is normal here!" She gasped after her unexpected, angry outburst. Sam's face changed from stern to confused and traces of hurt were evident in his eyes.
"Well you're not really the most normal girl in the world either." Someone called from the doorway in the back of the bar. They turned to see Sam's son Charlie standing there glaring at Noi. Noi knew for a fact that Charlie hated her. She knew that for a long time it had just been him and his dad living peacefully and he felt that she was threatening that. Noi lowered her gaze to the floor and put her ice cream back in her mouth sitting in silence. Sam and Charlie had a silent conversation before the whole issue was dropped in order to prepare the bar for the evening. Noi got up to leave when the first customers showed up. She walked past Charlie to leave and neither said a word to alert Sam of her escape.
"The nightmares are getting worse. I can't even understand them now. They're just flashes of pictures and images that I can't even remember when I wake up. Every time it ends the same though. I hear the different voices so often that I can remember them easily but the rest is blank. It always starts with laughing. Then it all gets serious. 'I'll always be there to bring you back!' it sounds so familiar and there's hurt sounding off ever word. 'Who am I going to eat ice cream with?' it sounds panicked and in pain. In other circumstances it might even sound funny but there's too much pain and fear in the voice. 'You're going to be set free. Aren't you excited? No more darkness and no more fighting you're free…….' There's a name after that but I can never hear it. The name I woke up with, the one I thought was mine; I don't think it is mine. I don't even know who I am? How lame…..and weird." Noi sat on her board in the middle of the now deserted main square. She had her eyes on her ice cream stick talking to it as if it could reply. In reality she just needed to voice her problems. She sighed and dropped the stick. She remembered waking up from her dreams with a salty taste in her mouth. It always made her crave ice cream but not one of the flavors satisfied her. She'd tried them all and vanilla was the closest she ever got which still wasn't close enough.
She stood up and placed a foot on her board to head home when she saw a little black creature with yellow eyes. It looked cute in a way but Noi felt something inside her telling her to stay back. The creature spotted her and ran off. She didn't know what she was doing but she took off after it skate board and home forgotten. She tailed it for a couple minutes and was surprised at how easy it was to keep up. She was just about to corner it when a tall white creature attacked it. Noi stood surprised and took a couple steps back confused. The black creature disappeared and the nobody turned to look at her. She was shocked by the amount of fear that spread through her. She wanted to run but when she turned around there were more of them. The fear subsided long enough for her head to piece together the situation. She turned and counted each one of them. '8 of them' she thought to herself. She actually didn't know how to fight them and panic was starting to creep back into her mind. The creatures moved closer and closer and she could tell they weren't friendly. The creatures were almost close enough to touch her when she had no options left but to scream and scream she did. She was sure it was the end and that no one was coming for her. Her scream was cut off by a hand that clamped over her mouth and pulled her backwards. She watched terrified as darkness filled her view and engulfed her and the stranger whole. When the hand was removed from her mouth she turned to see a figure dressed in a black coat with their hood up. She wasn't sure if she should still be scared or not, but she was so upset from the last incident she didn't feel like being scared or nice. "Who the hell are you?!! What the hell do you think you're doing?!! Where are we!!!??" She screamed looking around. The figure stepped back surprised at her reaction to him saving her. She stood there waiting for a reply and understood why Alex might have been annoyed with her silence at times. The figure stood there wondering what was wrong with this strange girl. He took a step back not sure what to do. Finally he raised his arm to pull down his hood. Noi watched patiently waiting to see who her savor/kidnapper was. The figure's hood came down and he gave Noi a worried look. Noi wasn't sure of what to say to the figure. "You're………"
A/N: Wow cliffhanger!!! Its so evil! Not really unless you actually liked it. Review but be kind with criticsim or not. And other characters will show up promise.
