Just a Shadow
Prologue: Traverse Town?!
Raine sat up and rubbed her sore head. 'What… happened?' she thought through the blinding pain. She opened her eyes and nearly fell unconscious again from shock. She looked around her, eyes wide open. This couldn't be right! She ran out of the alley, and her fears were confirmed. She was in Traverse Town. The First District to be exact. She rubbed her eyes, trying to rid herself of the illusion. Everything looked so much bigger in person. She walked back into the alley she had awoken in and sat down, trying to remember what happened.
….
….
Nothing. She couldn't remember anything from the last 24 hours but black. Lots and lots of black. She rubbed her head again, this time in the back, where it hurt the most. She stopped when her hand touched something unfamiliar. She traced her hand down it. It was… an antennae?! There was another one on the other side too! She rushed over to a nearby puddle and looked into it. Her reflection was that of a shadow heartless. She looked herself over in shock.
Her antennae, unlike that of a normal shadow, reached almost all the way to the ground. She was smaller than the average shadow, and had a waaaay better figure. Instead of having a small, round, pudgy body, she was thin, with slight curves. She sighed. This was a real mess. Now Sora or someone else would probably- She stopped her thought short.
'SORA!' Raine thought. 'I completely forgot about him! He's probably around here somewhere. She ran out of the alley, and straight to the accessory shop. She pushed open the doors, the bell jingling above her.
"Hello, and welcome to my— HOLY CRUD!" said Cid, turning around. He grabbed the nearest thing, which was a rather large and menacing looking wrench. "Don't come any closer now!" he shouted at the confused Raine. She looked down.
'Oops…' she thought, sweatdropping. She squeaked when Cid grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and held her at arms length in front of him.
"You're are weird lil fella, aren't ya." He said. It was a statement rather than a question. He shouldered the wrench and looked her over. Both he and Raine looked over when the door clicked open and someone walked in.
Kitty: …..Aheh. ; Short, I know. Chapter one will be up soon. Stay tuned.
Sora: R and R people!
