A/N: Sometimes I find old stories I started writing a long time ago, and then I want to revise the. This is one of those times and characters and stories. I made up this a long time ago and now I just have this strange urge to finish and write and this Kingdom Hearts OC…. Sorry. I know it's not very good but have this super emotional attachment to this OC. It was like the first one I made and I just stuck her in Kingdom hearts. But I'm going to try and rewrite bits of it. I just never finished so I might or might not finish now. Just depends. I will type what I have and we'll see where we stand. HAHAHAHA.. Ha.. Ugh.
Eleanor couldn't remember a night when she hadn't dreamt of the young man with the sparkling blue eyes and the spiky hair. She didn't know his name or where he had come from, and she knew for a fact she had never seen him anywhere before, but every single night she had the same dream about him.
The young man would be standing in front of her, a strange, shining weapon in hand as they faced what looked like a giant mass of moving shadows.
"You go one El! I'll catch up later I promise but I've got to handle this first!" He would shout back at her.
"No! I'm not going anywhere without you." She would respond. "If you stay I stay."
Thy young man would turn and flash a brilliant smile. He set a hand lightly on her cheek and his lips would move but no words would come out. Panicked she would try to take his hand, but she touched her own face as if he wasn't really there at all. She would try to speak but there was only silence. The world would start to melt away and the ground would give way beneath them and just as she started to fall she would wake up.
Recently though, she hadn't been sleeping at all. She had been thinking a lot, and not to mention they had been on the run until just that night when she and her Captain had been thrown in the prison cells at Port Royal under suspicion of piracy. She sighed and opened her eyes. The only view from the stony cell was a small peek of choppy ocean from behind a set of iron bars. A salty breeze blew into the window. This was not the ideal location for an aspiring pirate at all.
She had only been caught a handful of times before and Jack was always there to pick the lock for her, but after a fiasco with the Governor's daughter, the eccentric pirate too was trapped somewhere in the jail. Nervously she fidgeted with her thick red curls causing the feathers and beads hanging there to clink against her rings and bracelets. Jack would be expecting her anytime now. She stuck her hand into the pocket of her trousers and her fingertips touched the key she had snatched earlier from the now sleeping guard.
With a sigh, Eleanor stood and made her way to the iron barred door. The door unlocked with a click and she slipped past the guard who was sleeping in the chair outside with his head nearly bowed to his chest snoring lightly.
"As you were.." She mumbled as she slipped past him. Eleanor peeked down the corridor in the general direction Jack had been taken and sighed again. "Of course you're nowhere near by at all you hassle of a man." She rolled her eyes.
"The prisoner has escaped!" the call came from somewhere nearby and Eleanor's blood ran cold. "What are you doing! Get after her!"
If she ran into the jail she would only corner herself. She would have to run out and come back for her captain later. With voices echoing behind her, she pocketed the keys she had used to break herself out and turned up the stony stairs to the top of the fort. She turned around in search of a place to hide, but there was nothing but canons and empty space.
"Damn." Eleanor clenched her fists as the guards who had been in the prison swarmed her and drew their swords.
"Well, well, well boys. Looks like we have a pick pocket on our hands." The head guard chuckled. "A girl pretending to be a boy by the looks of it. When did you manage to get the key off my man young lady? That Jack Sparrow has been a horrible influence on you."
She rolled her eyes with a huff. "I got it when he wasn't paying attention, and it's Captain Jack Sparrow."
The guards chuckled. "Well don't you have a tongue on you. I'm sure you're already well aware, but the East India Trading Company will be expecting a pair of pirates at dawn. Although I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you had a few bumps and bruises. They're going to brand your pretty little wrists anyway. You have seen Captain Sparrow's have you not?"
Eleanor winced. She had seen the capital letter P burned onto the Captain's wrist. She skin itched thinking about hot iron being held onto hers.
"Can we punish her boss? Clap her in irons and cut one of her fingers off for pick pocketing?" One of the guards said through a sneer.
"No you don't need to-"
"I think the East India Company wouldn't mind some damaged goods.. Do you boys?" The head guard gave her a wink paired with a sinister smirk and the guards around him chuckled. "Do with her what you see fit." And with that he strolled away, leaving her at the mercy of the guards.
"Please, I have gold! If you just let me-"
"You don't have no ship." One of the men chuckled. "You're quite the silver tongued little brat, ain't ya. We should cut that out too. Get her!"
Eleanor closed her eyes and tried to cover her face. Without Jack around to protect her, the guards would rip her to shreds. Cut off her fingers, or her tongue or worse! Her imagination ran wild concocting scenarios but instead of swords cutting her flesh off her bones, a bright flash of light interrupted the men's attack and blinded her even through her closed eyes.
"Woah, what's going on here?" The voice of a young man asked.
"You okay Miss?" A hand took her elbow lightly.
"Er.." She opened one eye to peek up at her mysterious saviors and was met with the sight of a strange creature that had kind eyes and a calming voice. "Fine, yes I'm fine."
"You look pretty shaken up!" A voice from behind her other elbow squeaked.
"Uh.. I am just fine. Er, I think." She tried to make sense of the second creature that looked like some kind of duck or something.
"Hey just relax. We'll handle these jerks." The third voice belonged to a young man with sparkling blue eyes.
Her breath caught in her throat. "It's you!"
He cocked his head to the side and pointed up at himself. "Who me?"
She nodded.
"Are these friends of yours pirate? We'll have to take them too!" One of the guards started, but the young man's face lit up.
"You're a pirate?" He asked excitedly.
"Yes but.." Eleanor's blood ran cold. "Oh no Jack!" She turned to look back in direction of the darkened door to the prison cells.
"Is he your friend?" The first creature asked her with a friendly smile.
"He's still in a cell down in the prison. Oh he's going to be so angry with me. I was supposed to let him out." She bit on her lip.
"Well gawrsh. We can help you get to him no problem, if these guys are givin' you a problem." He continued with a smile.
"Oh could you? Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She smiled and clasped her hands together. "I am forever in your debt. I'll just go get Jack and you could.."
"Deal with these guys? You got it." The feathery creature winked up at her as, with a flash of light a wand appeared in his hands.
She ignored the curiosity about her apparently magical new friends, to instead duck away through the angry guards as fast as she could. There was shouting that erupted behind her, but she made it into the prison and down the stairs. "Jack!" She called. "Jack where are you? There's been a problem….."
"What kind of problem exactly?" A hand appeared from between the bars of a cell a little ways down the stone corridor. "Don't tell me the guard saw you get out?"
She unlocked the door quickly and looked up at her captain. "Well that and some strange.. Something's happened."
Jack sighed and rolled his eyes. "Well don't just stand there then. Get our swords and I'll sort this out." He strolled out of the jail cell and gestured vaguely in the direction of the rack where the swords were hanging on the wall. "I can't leave anything to you can I, love? Your confidence goes all wonky and you don't know what to do with yourself."
She rolled her eyes as she struggled with the long weapons and with a huff blew her bangs out of her face. "I had it handed just fine until some strange visitors from who knows where appeared and stopped he guards from chopping me up."
Jack froze and peeked back over his shoulder. "Strange visitors?"
"Hey are you down here?" The voice of the young man called down from the top of the fort. "Hello?"
"I don't think she went down into the prison Sora."
"Well Donald, where else would she have gone? You didn't see her did you Goofy?
"Well gawrsh, I wasn't really looking.."
"Hey! Hey no I'm down here!" Eleanor shoved the swords into Jacks hands with an indignant 'hey' in response. She ran to meet them by the stairs. "Are you hurt? You are all okay right?"
"Oh yeah! We're tough. We're completely fine." The boy grinned. "Oh by the way, I'm Sora. This is Donald and Goofy."
"Nice to meet you all." She tucked a strand of curls behind her ear. "My names Eleanor. And oh, this is-"
"Captain Jack Sparrow if you please." He sauntered up to Eleanor and dropped her sword to the stone floor. "This is yours. So these must be you're.. Friends." He regarded them with his dark eyes. "Nice to meet you then."
"Wow a pirate captain…." Sora started up at him in wonder.
"I would advise against pumping up his ego. It's already quite big enough-" Eleanor was cut off by a scream from somewhere outside, followed by several cannon blasts.
"That was down in the town!" Sora turned to look out to the top of the fort. "D'ya think someone is in trouble?'
"Well if not, that girl has got a set of lungs on her for nothing really." Jack said sarcastically.
"Maybe it's the organization." Goofy murmured.
"Or the heartless." Donald added.
Jack arched his brow. "Who's heartless? Certainly not me."
"The what?" Eleanor leaned towards them. "Is that why you all.. Flashed here?"
Sora hesitated. "Look, we've got to go. It was nice meeting you guys."
"Wait, you're leaving?" She took a short step after him as they began to climb the stairs. "Will I see you again?"
He flashed a bright smile. "Well I sure hope so! Stay safe will you?"
"Bye Eleanor." Goofy grinned before the trio disappeared up the stone steps and out into Port Royal.
"That's the kid you've been having all those dreams about isn't it." Jack asked with an accusing stare. "My advice to you is not to get messed up in any of their problems. They look like nothing but trouble and I am not involving myself with any of that. Now, let's go commandeer ourselves a ship shall we?"
She strapped her belt on and adjusted her sword. "Yeah, yeah. Right behind you Captain."
