Behind Hidden Eyes

Chapter one: Darkness

Black. That was all she could see. The foggy darkness suffocated her petite form. She was somewhere, but at the same time, she was nowhere. The girl pushed herself up off the ground and looked around her. Still a room full of dark, black, swirling fog. Where was she?

"I see that you are finally awake," echoed a voice.

The girl turned around, trying to place the voice to a face. But, there was no one there. "Who are you? What do you want from me," she spoke, her voice shaking.

"Nothing that is of importance to you right now, Naminé," the voice answered back.

Naminé? The girl thought.

"Who's Naminé?" the girl asked.

The disembodied voice laughed. "You are Naminé, and I have great need of you."

Naminé shivered. She did not like this voice. And why did it need her? "Who are you?" she asked again, a little more firmly; she was not going to let this voice intimidate her, though deep down, it was.

It laughed again, "You can say that I am someone who is trying to set the world right, along with twelve others. Others that are Nobodies, like me and you.

Naminé was confused. What were Nobodies? And how was she a Nobody? The questions would not stop pouring into her mind. She clutched her head out of anger and tried to suppress a scream that was locked in her throat.

"What do you want from me!" she yelled at no one in particular. The black was still the only thing she could see.

"I want you, Naminé. I want you to help me set the world right. Together, along with the rest of my team, we could do great things for the world," the voice said. Naminé thought she heard the voice come from behind her and turned around. She screamed when she saw a man with silver hair and golden eyes wearing a black cloak standing right behind her. She was walking away from the advancing form when she tripped and fell backwards onto the dark ground. "Please, don't hurt me," Naminé pleaded.

The man laughed, "Why would I hurt you? I need you in order for my plans to succeed. You are of great importance to me."

"Why am I so important to you?" Naminé growled. This man was beginning to get on her last nerve. He was not answering her well needed questions the way she wanted him to. His answers only brought on more questions to Naminé's thoughts. She wanted to know what was going on. This man just came out of nowhere and told her straight away who she was, but not why she was here; existing.

"I cannot tell you that Naminé, you are not ready to know. But, you must come with me."

Naminé looked up in horror at the man's face. "Come with you? Why should I come with you if you haven't even told me why I am here and why I'm so important to you?" she questioned him, glaring.

The man sighed, "I see how it's going to be. Listen, I can drag your unconscious, beat-up body out of here, or you can come willingly. Make no mistake that I wouldn't harm you because I will. A shiver ran down Naminé's spine. He had just threatened her and she did not like the sound of what her first option was. She knew nothing of the man before her; nothing about whether he was dangerous or not.

What am I going to do? I have no way out of this and if I ran away in this darkness, I am sure he'll be able to track me down. She thought.

After a few moments of silence, Naminé finally sighed as though she had been defeated in a battle. "I guess I have no choice, do I? I'll go with you willingly. But, I want to know your name and what I will be doing when we get to wherever we are going,"

The man smirked, "I knew you would see it my way. That makes everything so much easier on my and the others' part."

He turned around and stretched his arm out in front of him and pointed his hand palm forward. A portal suddenly appeared. It was a swirling black and blue mist and it was expanding and shrinking.

The man began to walk towards the portal.

"WAIT!" Naminé yelled, "You didn't answer my question."

He turned to face her, "My name is Xemnas, now come, we have to leave."

"But that was only part of the question, you need to answer the second part," Naminé pointed out angrily.

Xemnas's gaze turned a darker shade. "You will not find out until the proper time and now is not the time," he hissed.

Naminé nodded her head out of fear. She did not like this Xemnas. He brought all of her fear to the surface.

Xemnas turned back around and headed back towards the portal. "Come along, Naminé," he said. She nodded her head and followed him towards the portal. It was frightening looking. She did not like the idea of being in another black space, especially if it was a small space. Naminé was hesitant; Xemnas seemed to notice this and grabbed her roughly by the arm and shoved her in and walked in after her.

All she could feel was the air pressing in on her and that there was a slight cool breeze that whistled past her. She did not like this at all. It was about five minutes until Naminé could see a small light in front of her; the portal seemed to be coming to its end. When she stepped out, she felt something wet hit her on the face, it was a raindrop. It was pouring and all she was wearing was a white dress and nothing to keep her from getting wet. Her surroundings consisted of tall, dimly lit up skyscrapers and black streets and alley ways.

"Such an uplifting place, is it not?" Xemnas asked, with a smirk on his cruel face.

Naminé did not say anything; she didn't want to upset him if she said the wrong thing, which she was likely to do. Instead, she just stared at her gloomy surroundings.

"Welcome to The World That Never Was, Naminé."

The World That Never Was? I can see why, who would want to live in this world? Wait, I'm going to be

living here. Just great. Naminé thought.

Naminé took another look around the unfamiliar world and spotted something out of the corner of her

eyes. It was a giant, white castle and there was a heart-shaped moon shining right behind it. It was beautiful. She had never seen anything like it before.

After staring at the sky in awe, Xemnas grabbed her arm again and began tugging her in the direction of the white castle. "Where are we going?" she asked.

"To your new home, Castle Oblivion," he replied, without looking back at her. They reached the castle and Naminé realized that there was no way in; but Xemnas created another portal and shoved her in roughly. She stumbled out of the other end and landed hard on the marble floor. "No need to push," she muttered under her breath, making sure that he couldn't hear her. Naminé stood up to brush herself and realized that like the outside of the castle, everything inside was white. She thought is made the place dreary looking.

"It's time for you to meet the rest of the 'family' Naminé," Xemnas smirked.

There are more of 'us' Nobodies?

He began walking down a long corridor, making sure that she was following him until he reached the end of it where two large doors were waiting for them. Xemnas took hold of the doorknob and slowly opened it. Looking over his shoulder at Naminé, Xemnas spoke,"Welcome to Organization XIII, Naminé."
