Queen of Hearts

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Kingdom Hearts. I only own Vanessa Flora Stone.

I walked down the Dark Margin. I never thought of coming here until I had Dad with me so we could find Mom together. But I guess that won't happen. But being here is a very good thing. Why, you ask? My mom is here, trapped. So if I find her, we can find Dad and possibly revert him to his old self. That woulld be perfect! ...If only I knew where Mom was... '^.^ There I go again, daydreaming. Haven't I learned my lesson yet? "A chip off the old block yet a drop from the same raincloud"(1). Mom told me that whenever I got stubborn as a kid.

"So you have survived..." I jumped and fell on my butt. Wayfinding Fire, my Keyblade, appeared in my hand and I wince. There was a man in black, whose face I couldn't see. He was sitting on a rock as if watching the waves lap the shore. He had his head turned like he didn't say a thing. "You do look a lot like her..." That was when he looked at me. I dismiss my Keyblade and look out to sea before meeting his invisible eyes.

"Who?"

"I met a woman with blue hair and blue attire. I wouldn't allow her to see my face or know my name, but she went on nonstop about her child. When I asked who it was, she said these exact words, "When you see her, look at her face. You'll see mine." And I see that she was right."

"You saw my mom?! Where is she?!" The man shook his head as if to dismiss a foolish thought. Surely he should know what happened to her, right?

"I do not know where she has gone. It had been maybe three years since I last saw her." I sigh in defeat. Figures that the man did not know. I should've known. I got up and sat with him. Why does he feel so familiar?

"Hey... we never introduced ourselves." The man chuckled as if I had asked something all too obvious.

"We don't have to. You know me...Vanessa..." I gasp and normally gasps (for me) mean that I am about to tell you off.

"Whoa, look here, pal, I don't know who told you who I was but I don't know you like that-" the man removed his hood. He had a cocky grin on his face too.

"Now, Vanessa, is that any way to speak to your father?" I started to freak out a little.

"Omigosh! I am so sorry! I didn't know!" I exclaim, but Dad just... laughs at me? Dad only laughs at me when I embarrass myself, like when he found out I had a crush on Ienzo, and at first I denied it, then slowly admitted it. He was five years older than me! I was super young- six, to be exact- then and didn't know much. But then again, I am into smart, silent types. Those days were so fun... except when I learned I could manipulate dark beings. That was scary. Dad took my hand and opened a dark portal of some sort.

"D-Dad...?"

1: Aqua meant that Vanessa is like Terra yet also like her.

A/N: Thanks for reading! This is my first Kingdom Hearts fic. I hope you continue to read it.
