White.
The color that filled the room. It painted the walls, the drapes, the bed sheets, and everything else. The only sounds that could be heard were the distant morning songs of the birds outside the window and the beeping of the hospital equipment. But she couldn't see out the window, and she couldn't see the equipment. The only thing in her view was the ceiling above, and the only thing she could feel was the rise of her chest. Up, and down.
It was lonely.
Ten years have passed. Ten years since she ended up in this room, in this bed, hooked up to an oxygen mask and IVs; and now she was slowly dying. She knew it, she could feel it within every inch of her body, heart, and mind. There wasn't a single bit of hate within her, for the people who caused this to happen to her. Just acceptance. It had happened, she lived for ten more years, now she was dying. She did regret though, she regretted that she couldn't do more. Regretted that she couldn't see the world and experience life for real. But there wasn't much she could do, it was all out of her reach now.
The sound of footsteps entered through the door to her left. The face of a young nurse entered her limited vision. The nurse smiled, "Alright Miss Moriki! It's time for you to take your daily shots!"
Her smile faded when only expressionless eyes stared back at her. She sighed and began preparing the needles.
Why did the nurses bother pretending? She know they were afraid of her, and her eyes that seemed to tell them she hated them. She didn't hate them, not at all. They were only doing their jobs, and it made her happy that they tried. But her eyes told them otherwise, and thats what kept them from coming close. It had been years since she smiled. She remembered the last time she had smiled was when her Father had taken her to get icecream; before the accident that put her in this state.
The small pinch of pain told her the nurse had just given her the medicine. The medicine was supposed to help her, heal her. All it did though was make her sleepy and eventually she would fall asleep. No point existed in giving the medicine to her, it was just for show. To make her feel better, and make her parents feel better. Her parents, now that she thought about them, hadn't visited in over a year. She supposed they had given up, that had left this world before her. The nurses never told her anything anymore.
Before she could think more on it though, her vision began to blur. Exhaustion started setting in and soon her eyes were closed. No longer could she hear the birds, the equipment beeping, see the walls, or feel her chest rising up and down. And she slowly dissolved into a world of nothing.
The feeling of her chest rising up and down came back to her. She must be waking up, finally. But, why were her back and neck so sore? And the bed was so hard and uncomfortable, almost like she was lying on concrete. It had been a long time since she had felt anything other than the somewhat stiff but comfortable mattress of her hospital bed. Had they moved her or replaced the mattress with some cheap new mattress?
Her eyes slowly fluttered open. She groggily looked up expecting the usual white ceiling of the hospital room; but that was not the case. She stared, shocked, at the wood ceiling above her. And rather than hearing the birds or hospital equipment, she heard what sounded like something hitting the side of a surface. A slow whooshing noise, and tiny water droplets hitting small puddles on the floor. Then she felt the subtle swaying motion; was she on a ship? A ship, like the kind of ship she had seen in magazines as a kid? That kind of ship? One that sails on water?
Then something even more amazing happened, without realizing it she had turned her head to the side in her excitement. Then she froze completely. She could move? She slowly flexed her fingers experimentally and next her toes. She tested one limb at a time, first her right arm, then her left, and finally both her legs.
How was this possible? The IVs and oxygen mask were gone as well. She then decided to do something she hadn't done in ten years. Slowly she turned her body onto its side and reached out to the floor with her arms. She pushed herself up onto her hands and knees, then she leaned back onto her haunches. Blinking she looked around in amazement. She was up! Well, halfway of course.
She took in the new scenery; wooden walls, ropes, hooks, and…were those cannons? It was just like out of one of those books her Father had read to her as a child, a book about pirates. Where was she?
Voices suddenly began approaching her, and panicking she rose to her feet quickly. She stumbled and almost fell to the floor. It had been years since she walked! Holding onto the wall she struggled to a hiding place behind one of the many crates lying around.
Two men walked into the room from a door on the right. One was tall, wore a red coat, a captain's hat, had curly hair, a funny moustache, and…a hook where his left hand should be? The other one was short, plump, had glasses, and a big nose. Oh gosh, were those pirates?
She quickly ducked down when the tall one, presumably the captain, sharply looked over in her direction. The plump one looked at his Captain, "Is something wrong Captain Hook?"
"No! It was nothing. I thought I saw something from the corner of my eye. Back to the matter at hand, that Maleficient! I can't believe she has the nerve to take command of MY ship!"
"B-but Captain, she didgive you heartless to control...and she's the one who put together the whole scheme to capture you-know-who..."
"I AM THE CAPTAIN! But no matter, even though she thinks she has control over my ship, it is still mine! And - "
The sharp sound of something clanking against the ground caught the pirates' attention. She had accidently bumped into a hook hanging off the side of the crate and it had fallen to the wood planks. Her eyes widened when she heard the conversation between the two men stop, and quickly scrambled over to another crate.
Captain Hook quietly crept over to where he heard the noise, "Did you hear that Smee? It seems a rat has scurried onto the ship!"
He tackled the area behind the crate, only to end up wrestling with a rope. She gasped, surprised, and Mr. Smee noticed her behind another crate, "C-c-captain! Over there!"
Quickly, and somewhat clumsily, she stood up and ran awkwardly out of the room. She was beginning to get used to the feel of her legs and she was hoping soon she'd have complete control over them.
Stumbling she grabbed onto a wall to keep herself from falling, she continued on down the hall. She noticed some stairs and crawled up them on her hands and knees. When she emerged at the top of the stairs she froze. Black things turned to stare at her. They had bright emotionless yellow eyes and more appeared from the floor. What were they? Slowly she stood up and began backing towards the wall. Looking to her right and left she could see ocean for miles around. It seemed there was nowhere to run, not that she could really 'run'.
Luckily for her though, she noticed a ladder to her right. So in an act of bravery, she grabbed a broken wood plank and whacked at the nearest black thing. They all began jumping on her, and she shook them off. There were too many of them and she felt she might be engulfed by them, but remembering how she felt…her regrets, she just knew she couldn't give up. So she hopped onto the ladder and somehow her legs decided to work with her.
"You fools! Grab the lass!" she heard Captain Hook yelling from the entrance to the lower deck where she had come up.
She made it to the top of the ladder and stumbled over to a fancy looking door. She whacked another 'shadow' away and yanked open the door and fell inside. The door shut behind her and she sighed. She froze though when she felt eyes on her back. Slowly she turned around and came face-to-face with a dark-clothed person holding a staff.
"And what do we have here?"
The look of a deer being caught in headlights flashed over her face and she scooted back into a corner in fear. Suddenly the door was opened and Captain Hook and Mr. Smee ran in.
Captain Hook looked at where the staff-wielder was looking and turned his attention to where she was, "Well. It looks like the rat has been cornered."
"Hook," the unnamed person spoke, "who is this girl?"
"Ye expect little ol' me to know? The lass is just a rat I found scurrying around below deck, behind a crate!"
The Sorceress rolled her eyes, "Interesting how a girl got onto a ship that's been miles out to sea for weeks."
"Well what do you want me to do about it?"
"C-captain if I may," Mr. Smee spoke up, "we could always ask her?"
Captain Hook paused and looked at her and back to the unnamed person, "What a brilliant idea Smee! What do you say Maleficent?"
Maleficent narrowed her eyes and looked at her, the question in her eyes.
She hesitated and looked from the Captain, to Maleficent. She hadn't talked in years but..."Why would I tell you, old hag!" She stuck out her tongue.
Mr. Smee gasped and a sharp looked passed over Maleficent's face and suddenly the gem on her staff began glowing.
Terrified, she stood up and backed out of the corner and hit another wall, when she looked over she saw a girl with red hair laying on her back with her eyes opened. But, it was like she wasn't actually there. Mesmerized by the dimmed over look in the girl's eyes she forgot about the angry sorceress in front of her and reached over to touch the red-headed girl, but before she could a small spark erupted between her finger and the girl's arm when she finally got close. Pulling hand away she blinked. "Eh?"
Hello?
Surprised she jumped, 'Who are you?'
A giggle, Well, who are you?
'Um, my name is Moriki Kei.'
Ah, it's nice to meet you Kei! My name is Kairi. I'm not sure where I am though, just a second ago I couldn't even hear you, and for some reason I'm floating in a black abyss. I don't know what happened...
Kei's motherly side took over, 'Don't be scared! You can hear me now, right? So you aren't alone now! And maybe I can help you. By chance do you have red hair?'
Thank you, and yes! How did you know?
'Well I think I'm looking at your body right now, but it's almost like it doesn't have a soul or heart. Your eyes are very dim and you're just staring off into nothingness.'
What happened? Sora, Riku, and I were going to leave the island on the raft, the next thing I know I end up here.., The voice trailed off in wonder."Don't worry, I'll definitely get you out of there!" It took Kei a moment to realize she had said that out loud. Blinking she looked back up at the three in front of her. They had stopped and observed her.
The one called Maleficent smiled at her, "Well, maybe you areworth keeping after all."
Captain Hook and Mr. Smee just looked over at Maleficent confused, "What're ye sayin'?"
She glared at them, "Fools! She can obviously communicate with the girl named Kairi, now get out of my sight! The keyblade wielder and his friends should be appearing soon."
Captain Hook's face turned red in rage and he opened his mouth to say something.
"I -"
"LEAVE!"
He scrambled out the door with Mr. Smee following closely behind.
Maleficent turned to Kei and moved towards her, taking a hold of her chin she made Kei look up into her eyes, "You will be very useful to me."
Kei glared at her, "And if I don't want to help you?"
The gem began glowing again and the Sorceress smiled evilly, "You don't have a choice, now do you?"
