Alkenet: Hello, this is my first Kingdom Hearts story so I'd appreciate it if you guys went a little easy on me. But if you flame my story, I'd wonder why you kept reading until the end and wasted your time typing up words that will mean nothing to me.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCs.

'thinking'

"talking"


Shades of Grey

Prologue

It was a dark night. There was no moon to be seen, no stars. They were hidden by thick, black clouds that threatened a storm. In a modest house that faced the ocean, there was a morbid feeling in the air. Inside the main room of the home, the walls were splattered with blood that was trickling down the now stained wallpaper. Two bodies, which were now unrecognizable, lay in a mangled heap at the feet of a young girl no older than eight. She had just crawled out of the cupboard that her parents had hid her in.

The girl surveyed the bloody scene with her watery grey eyes. What was she supposed to feel? Her mother and father were killed a mere hour ago. She was alone, who would comfort her?

The sirens of police cars and ambulances, the murmurs of the police officers sounded so distant. The girl felt numb, she didn't even know she was being led towards the ambulance and wrapped in a blanket.

'Why?' She thought, 'Why aren't they moving? Where are you taking Mommy and Daddy?'

Intriguing, such a peculiar mix of light and dark…

The girl felt a small pulse ring through her head.

Do you wish to be rid of this image?

'What do you mean?'

Do you wish to see darkness?

'…okay…'

Be ready to accept your destiny.

The edges of girl's vision slowly faded to a murky black. Her once clear, grey eyes now had a milky sheen, and she saw no more.

Forgive me, for giving you such a fate.


Alkenet: Review if you'd like to. I really want to know what you guys think.
