Midnight Calls
AU. One Night Sora gets a mysterious call...
Sora.
AUTHOR NOTES: Okay, my first chaptered story. I'm a little worried how well this will go over, so sit tight for one heck of a ride, m'kay? This story has been bugging me for a while so I decided to write it and everything is modified to suit and fit the plot—I have it all laid out . . . somewhat. This will be fairly short series—only 12 chapters, I believe. Then again it'll largely depends on how everything goes so bear with me. [crosses-fingers]
On A Side Note: If you like mystery and psychological dramas as well as LOVE Kingdom Hearts, this story would be GREAT to read.
[ Note my shameless self advertising please. xD ]
On ANOTHER Side Note: If anyone is curious the Main Theme Song for this story would be "What I've Done" by Linkin Park.
DISCLAIMER: I only own the game disc, nothing else. Not even Nomura's brilliant mind or Square Enix's beloved series sadly.

Chapter 1 : The Reawakening Nightmare

Heavy panting filled his mind. Then he realized it was his own breathing. It wasn't from running but from fear he realized.
Quietly and slowly, he stepped into the dim light. The hallway outside where he was enveloped in darkness but the trickling light was welcoming. Peeking inside, he saw two people talking then suddenly the conversation turned into a violent struggle for something—a knife. The sliver sparkling in the light as the two figures struggled for the blade.
He let out a gasp, causing one of the figures—a female—to stop and see him, giving the other figure—a man, no doubt—the opening he needed to take the blade and stab the woman.
Hands grabbed him from behind and dragged him away into the darkness of the hallway. He watched as the stabbed woman drop to the floor and the knife wielder turned slowly turned around, his attention focusing on what had distracted the woman. But the woman moved to grab the knife, causing the other figure's attention to return as the injured woman screamed. The knife-wielder answered her with another fatal stab.
Blood scattered into the air as her last words echoed in his mind.
Run!

Sora Aoi gasped as he awoke drenched in his own sweat. His sheets were a mess and his head hurt like it always did whenever he had that dream. The dream that has plagued him for nearly eight years now. He was now fifteen, almost sixteen. A sigh left his lips as he gathered his thoughts.
When would this nightmarish dream end?—he often wondered about that. Yet it was the only thing he had left of that time.
The woman was surely his mother, he had figured that out by now. Or rather it was his real mother. She had been murdered but he couldn't remember who had done it. In fact, he wasn't even sure if the dream was real. The person that dragged him away felt familiar and yet he couldn't remember who it was—much less the person's name.
He glanced around his room, it was dark with some scattered moonlight leaking in from between his blinds. Getting out of bed, he went to grab a drink. Perhaps a drink would sooth his roaring headache. Every time he got the headache, it became harder to get rid of it. And that frustrated him to no end.
No one answered his footsteps for he lived alone. Sora groaned, knowing he would have to report this to the physiatrist during their next meeting. It wasn't that he was crazy or anything, but rather was told to go because of the accident.
He didn't want to remember the accident. Every time he went he was forced to remember it. The whole thing was too embarrassing and quite frankly the very event scared him. If it was to happen again, he probably wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by the telephone.

Author Notes: Hmm . . . I know this is fairly short but it was originally a prelude/prologue. And yeah I know lots of stories start out with a freaky dream but I wonder who is calling at this ungodly hour? I think it's about 3 AM in the story – poor Sora. And yeah, if you ask me what's going to happen, you'll find out as the story develops. I have the whole plot in my head and written down – just need the time to write it.
Remember: patience is a virtue.
So what did you think? Good? Interesting? Bad? Terrible? Please let me know. Otherwise I can't improve or change.
