Suki: Hey guys! Finally got a KH story down, and I may vent some feelings out through my character, because she is ALMOST my self insert, mainly who what I kinda want to be and feel. If you know me, sometimes I put on a happy mask ^^; but this is to help me through the upcoming school year, I'll try to keep it going, with Broken Wings being written.
DISCLAIMER: This goes for all my chapters so I will -not- repeat myself. I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT MY OC, LIVE WITH IT!
A girl walked down a quiet private road in Lynnwood, Washington. She was 17, and wore a long black dress that stopped an inch below her knees. She wore knee high black socks and had black converse on. Her long black hair was tamed by a black fedora. The fedora had a design of a red feather, it looked hand sewn, and expensive. The thing that stood out most about the girl was her extremely light blue eyes. It almost looked as if she was blind, yet she wasn't. The girl walked to a small house and opened it, only to find people narrowing her eyes at her.
"Welcome home... Winter Rose." A woman said.
"Good evening to you, Mother. I am only here to wash my belongings and wash up until I can afford a home or go to college, like we agreed." Winter said. The girl was Winter M. Rose. Winter Rose was called a mistake by her parents, shunned at how... rebellious she was. She was born on the snowiest day of the year, and her parents where in utter horror about her eyes. Both of her parents had dark blue eyes, despite their hair color, which was black. They named her after the season she was born in, not caring for the daughter. Winter was the smartest one in her class, and was let ahead a year, so she graduated early. Now, she was free to leave the house as long as she wanted. She left for days, only to come back to wash her clothes and to slowly take more. She took the last of her money, her life savings. It rounded up to be two thousand dollars, she saved up her entire life for that amount. She washed her clothes and felt the lingering stares of her parents. They took care of her little brother, Elzin. Elzin was age 7 and had one blue eye, and one green. He had caught a trait from some far off relative, and that also gave him elf ears. He had short black hair, and was very formal. Elzin loved Winter, and wanted to be like her, but his parents had him on a tight schedule. After Winter had finished. She asked her family to gather around.
"I am terribly sorry to say but, I am separating my ties with the family. I will only visit Elz occasionally. I would say thank you, Mother, Father, in all the support you gave me... Yet, you gave me none." She said, formally. Elzin started to cry as she said it.
"Why Winter? I don't want you to leave!" He said, hugging her. She hugged him and said.
"I am sorry, but I have to leave, I am only burdening Mother and Father. I must leave now, farewell."She said, ruffling his hair. She walked towards the door and lingered. She took in everything, the white walls, the cramped kitchen, and the hallways that lead into the laundry room, bathroom, and bedrooms. She glanced towards the T.V. She had taken the video games called Kingdom Hearts and carried it with her always. She sighed and closed the doors. She started walking forward, her footsteps matching her heartbeat.
The Organization XIII was alive, they had one last trick up their sleeves. They had a single healer nobody, out of the millions, that one was the most important. It looked like a metallic phoenix, and it's feathers had magical properties. It takes one hundred years for it to come into affect, but it was better than nothing. They had regenerated, in a sleep like trance. The current key blade wielder was gone. They could tell, so was the king. It was now a long path to recovery. Little did they know about what they where heading into.
Winter checked into a cheap hotel. She went to the bed and laid down, staring at the ceiling. Her backpack lay next to her bed as she grabbed her MP3 player. She turned it on as a play list of Evanescence went on. She fell asleep, and felt herself fall down water. She noticed it didn't feel icy, and it wasn't filled with seaweed, like the Puget Sound. She landed on a platform, there was a picture of Sora, and his friends.
"Hmm... Similar to Kingdom Hearts, very interesting." She said, as she stepped forward.
What do you seek, young girl. The light, or the Shadows. A calming voice asked, it was like a gentle mother, as Winter had seen with children as she sat alone in elementary school. Six pillars appeared. There where two of each kind of weapon. There was a sword, gleaming gold with encrusted jewels, another was a katana, which glowed a sickly red with red chains hanging down from the end of the hilt. There was a short staff, glowing bright blue and glowed with white magic, one was a long, black staff. It had a spear tip and glowed darkly. There was a large shield, it had encrusted gems and had a symbol Winter did not recognize. Another was a large shield, with spikes on the top most edges and with a blood red logo on it.
"I seek the Shadows." She said, the other pillars disappeared.
What do you seek the most? The voice asked. Yami went up to the katana.
The katana, a deadly sharp weapon. It is one sided, yet is sharper than a double sided sword. It is more light weight and can be duel wielded by a sister blade.
Winter listened to the words, then went to the staff.
The staff, a magically enhanced rod of wood. It is said to have magical properties and aids the use in magic.
Winter listened and then went to the shield.
The Scutum, a large shield that is very strong. It was used by the Romans in many battles. It enhances protection.
Winter nodded as she made her decision. She touched the katana.
What will you give up? The voice asked, calmly and sweetly. She decided that she needed protection, so she gave up the shield. The platform broke, as she fell down. She didn't struggle, and landed softly. There was another platform, it had the same pattern as the one above.
You will see many monsters. There are two types. The voice said, as two beings appeared. One was a shadow, it was always moving and it had yellow eyes. Another was a Dusk, and it had the Nobody emblem on it's head. They moved and attacked Winter. She dodged with ease as the katana appeared in her hand. She attacked the monsters and they fell, and disappeared. One went in a cloud of dust, a single child-styled heart wafted up. The other denigrated. The floor shattered beneath here. And she found her at downtown Seattle, at the waterfront. It was eerily empty, and three people stood around her.
"Elzin? Tyler? Alexa?" She was surprised, and shook her head. She went to Elzin.
"Winter, what do you fear most?" He asked.
"I fear being indecisive, Elz." Winter replied. She went to the blond boy who whore a white tee-shirt and a pair of jeans. He had blue eyes.
"What is most important for you?" Tyler asked calmly.
"My prized possessions." She replied. Her nodded and Winter went to Alexa. She wore a Lolita Japanese style dress, with a hat that rivaled Kanon Wakeshima's style.
"What do you want out of life?" Alexa asked.
"To be strong." She said.
You fear being indecisive, your prized possessions are most important to you, you want to be strong. You start your adventure at dusk. It is harder to handle due to your fatigue, yet you thrive. But there are many dangers. The voice said, then she was blown away, onto a single platform. It had a Heartless symbol. Winter walked into the light, and her shadow grew. After awhile it stood, and Winter saw a giant shadow replica of her. She ran to the edge, and almost fell off. Winter turned around and attacked.
Winter wiped a bit of blood off her lip as the Dark side fell. A portal appeared under her, and shadowy tendrils clung onto Winter. She panicked at first, then stopped as it tickled her slightly, and seemed less threatening.
Do not fear, dark one. For the path that you chose may be viewed as evil, but is ultimately good. Awake now. The voice said. Winter felt her bed and light hit her eyelids. She opened her eyes as as she saw the roof of the hotel. She took a shower and got ready, then left the hotel. She spent her time walking around and then stopped to eat dinner at a Fat-burger. She bough the food and ate it, then went to a park. It was the Picnic Point park. It was still open, so Yami took a mile trek down to the beach. She gazed at the waters of the Puget Sound. She sat down on a bleached log and stared at the dark waters, it lapped the shores gently. Loud drunken laughs where heard a mile away. She closed her eyes as she heard the gentle waves kiss the rock shore. She heard bubbling of trapped water and smelled seaweed everywhere. When Winter heard the Stoners scream, then it being quiet, she took notice. Suddenly, she noticed a swarm of darkness. Shadow Heartless where everywhere. She gasped and tried to run, only to find her surrounded. She tried to fight them, and was backed onto a jutting rock. One leaped and she jumped, and fell into the water. The water dragged her out as her waterproof backpack kept her belongings safe. She was then surrounded by Atlantica heartless. They motioned to her and she heard voices.
"We do not wish to harm Mistress Rose, we want to save. We take planet, we feed our kind. Come, to Home." A Screw Driver said. A couple of Sea Neons helped Winter swim and there was a dark portal. She looked to them and entered.
Winter shivered as she followed a group of Heartless. The tunnels where amazingly cold, not helping she was wet. They led her to an opening.
"Mistress Rose, safe with shells. We not like, but safe. No one want Mistress heartless yet." A Solider heartless said. She nodded, shivering and entered. She hit the ground in a pure white room, with white chairs that where extremely high. She was freezing and she felt eyes on her, she felt the ground rush to her, and it went dark.
The Organization was baffled by a woman, about age 17 appeared. She was shivering and wet, and smelled like seawater and seaweeds. The girl fell over, and was unconscious.
"The meeting is dismissed. I will take care of our... intruder." Xemnas said. Everyone warped out as Xemnas jumped down, landing softly next to her. The girl wore a simple long black dress, and long socks with black and white converse. She had a waterproof looking backpack and wore a fedora, with a delicate pattern of a feather made in it. She opened her eyes yet was still asleep and he was taken back by what he saw. Almost pure white eyes, it was lightly tinted blue. The girl closed her eyes and he noticed something on her neck. A heartless necklace. He moved the girl into his bedroom. He placed her on the queen sized bed after drying her off. He placed the heavy backpack down and waited for the girl to wake up. When the girl woke up, she was confused. She sat up and saw Xemnas and her eye darkened.
"Where am I..?" She asked, looking around. Xemnas was surprised.
"So your not blind. You opened your eyes... Young girl. You are trespassing on our grounds and we have the right to kill you." Xemnas said darkly. The girl growled.
"Why must EVERYONE be prejudice! When they look at my eyes they think I'm blind! I am not! I hate that people judge me by looks! Right to kill me my ass. I just want to go back to earth where you are just a video game" She growled. Xemnas noted what she said. And he smiled.
"I am Xemnas, Leader of the Organizatio--"
"XII, not counting Xion, since he is gone now. Your Somebody name is Xehanort, You're Number 1, superior." She finished, smiling.
"I am Winter M. Rose, from Earth." The girl said.
"What does the M/ stand for." Xemnas asked, noting how intelligible she was.
"Middle, my parents couldn't care less about names." Winter said. She tried to get up but fell back down. She looked around then saw her backpack. She grabbed it and rummaged through her stuff.
"How old are you..?" Xemnas asked.
"Seventeen, I was let ahead one year in school." She replied, making sure that her DS turned on. She turned it off and set it on the bed as she counted her money. 1,970 dollars where there.
"What are those slips of paper?" He asked. Winter sighed and looked him in the eye.
"Curiosity killed the cat, it's Money, spelled M O N E Y. It's currency from my wor-- oh god!." Winter started when she dropped it. She shakily got up and went to the balcony. She saw the largest star in the sky blink out.
"Oh shit... oh shit... Elzin!" Winter said. She tried using her phone, yet Elzin's phone didn't pick up. She growled and punched a wall, it cracked a bit, and Xemnas was surprised by her strength. Only one other person could dent the walls of the Castle that Never Was, his name was
"Why Elzin... He was such a sweet kid." Winter said, and leaned her head on the wall.
Suki: Woah, Winter as strong as all the nobodies! I liked the concept of Heartless speaking in their own language, and it sounds like badly translated English to Winter. Well, REVIEW, CLICK THE BUTTON, btw, I'll have the next chappie out shortly.
