Welcome to the first Chapter and thxs for reading my story! Here's the full summary.
Hollie is a fourteen year old girl who's found by King Mickey after her world being engulfed by the Heartless. But what would happen if Hollie becomes a part of darkness itself. She encounters Sora and the others in their journey becoming two different people that their completely unaware are the same person. And what will Riku think in having a partner like her as his new companion in crime. Could something horrible come from either relationship? RikuxOCxSora not sure about the Sora part but I'll try! Rated T for language.
Under the damp rain small running footsteps were desperately escaping from small but rapidly approaching with their slouch movements. The small running being had an oversized cloak on as well as the black hood. Holding in the tiny hands was a tiny silver chain with a golden filled in diamond and its edges of silver. The creatures were now visible due to the thunder that now befell with the rain in the darken forest. They had black bodies with a small form of bodies but their hands and feet had no toes or fingers. Also they had antennae and their eyes were a bright yellowish color. The creatures were now covering more speed as they kept approaching the running shadow. Then the silhouette tripped and unable to move any further stayed in the ground and turned to face the attackers that rapidly drew near. The creatures lurking forward made a jump to the defenseless child. The child could only raise its arms over its face to cover the fate to come. Then a ray of blinding light climbed from behind the child as it cut through the dark forms that disappeared after the contact. The short size savior glanced to see the startled child that now gazed up to him. He completely turned to face the scared child as it crawled farther from him. He quickly grasped its arm making it violently turn and shoving him off binding its' right hand where the keychain rested.
"Get away from me!" a little girl's voice shouted as the diamond of the keychain shone in a bright gold light and revealing a sword that had the handle of a key but that resembled a blade. The handle was gold with silver; the blade was silver and ended with the engraving of three half of diamonds as the edges, the incrustation between the handle and the blade were a golden diamond sided with two smaller silver diamonds and in the handle the diamond keychain that she had once held in her hands.
The short figure flinched at the sight of the blade. The girl only opened her eyes as she still held the blade firmly for protection. The figure in front stepped back and slowly stretched his white gloved hand towards the frightened girl. The girl just stayed in the ground where she was sure to keep a look at him.
"Don't worry," he said in a squeaky mouse voice. "You hold great power. Your world has been destroyed by the Heartless, those creatures that were following ya."
"Heartless…?" she repeated lowering the blade a bit.
He nodded, "Other worlds have also suffered the same fate as yours. Even if the power of the Heartless is faint now there's a chance that they might get stronger. And if you'd like, I would like to take you back to my kingdom."
"Back, where, my whole village has disappeared. My family, my friends, everything I held dear is gone!" she shouted as she stood holding the large blade with her tiny two hands and pointing with it at him.
"You may have lost everything that you loved to the darkness, but your heart's telling ya something else, right?"
"My heart?" she repeated confused.
"You can feel what your heart's telling ya, 'bout how there's something more you need to be, something bigger."
"Something…greater…" she whispered. "How do you know about those dreams?"
"That doesn't matter right now. What does is that you start training to properly wield that Keyblade you have."
"Key…blade?" she said holding the blade closer for examination.
"Even if you posses one you need to use it properly in order to fight with it's full potential."
She lowered the blade a little and narrowed her eyes. "Would…" she whispered. "Would I be able to bring them back, my village, everyone?" she asked facing him straight.
He nodded, "If you desire your goal with all your heart, it might be possible."
She lowered the blade completely as it vanished leaving no trace. She only lowered her gaze from him, "I'll go with you."
"Very well, then," he turned and started walking but stopped to a few steps and glanced over his shoulder. "My name's Mickey, King Mickey. And you?" he called friendly as he stretched his white gloved hand towards her once more.
She doubted for some seconds and then grabbed his hand and shook it, "My name's…Hollie."
He shook it back, "Well, then let us go, Hollie."
Afterward she left with him to his palace, Disney Castle. At arriving the king got greeted greatly. Then he presented her to the queen and everyone including two certain ones. After some months he trained her in the arts of magic and fighting and secretly trained her to correctly use the Keyblade that he named White Diamond. After almost half a year she could hold a fight with the king. They were currently training with the Keyblades they possessed. Her shoulder length dark brown hair kept bouncing as her dark blue eyes followed his every move. She was doing well until two beings enter the exercise room. When both Hollie and the king saw them coming they made their keys vanish in midair as they landed safely on the floor.
"Donald, Goofy," Hollie said happily.
"Hi there," Goofy called waving at her as she waved back.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has requested your assistance," Donald called.
"Ah, yeah, I forgot 'bout that." he turned to Hollie, "Keep practicing and get the Air Sweep while I'm gone."
She bowed slightly, "Yes."
Afterwards he left as Donald and Goofy both stayed behind with Hollie. She suddenly put her hands on her hips looking at Donald.
"And what am I invisible or something?" she called sarcastically to Donald as he turned startled.
"Ah! Well…I didn't see you there!" he fought back.
"You're lying," she teased.
"Of course not!" he squawked.
"Sure, sure," she said walking away and to train again.
From the whole kingdom only few knew that Hollie had a Keyblade. So besides, the King and Queen, Donald and Goofy also knew.
"Hey, Donald!" Hollie called back as he faced her. "Mind helping me practice a lil'?"
"Humph, as if," he scolded.
"Come on Donald," Goofy called as he got his shield out. "We should help the king's apprentice."
"Yeah, well I think she's just an annoying brat."
"Hey!" she called angry at hearing that. "Who're you calling annoying?! Look who's talking!" she kept teasing.
"Yeah, yeah," he said getting his magic staff ready. Then the three started not like training but more like a game. She liked to call it the 'get Donald mad' game. How so, because she kept teasing Donald by doing a fire spell on Donald's tail and making him jump up and down. Hollie started laughing loudly as Goofy tried hard not to accompany her with that.
"Hey, knock it off!" Donald scolded her.
"Sorry, it's just that you're hilarious," she said whipping a tear from her eye.
"Stop with the games, you're supposed to be training remember!" he called as she came to her senses.
"That's true," she said rather obliviously. "Hey could you help me with my magic spells, Donald?" she said clasping her hands together and closing one eye.
"Sure, as long as it's not the fire spell," he said washing the ashes from his tail.
"Sure," she smiled.
"Okay then, let's start," Goofy called happily.
Meanwhile with the King and Queen they were still talking in the library.
"How did it go?" he asked her.
She nodded a no, "The world's that had been adsorbed by darkness left with no trace," she answered.
He looked down as he thought, "That means her world as well got swallowed up."
"Should we tell her?" she asked concerned.
"Not until it's certain," he said confidently.
"Of course," she agreed.
Then suddenly a great earthquake began shaking through the ground. So powerful it began shaking books and pictures off. "What?" he called as he tried to get a hold of himself to not fall.
Back with the other three, the earthquake shook the ceilings making the cracks already there to drop bits of sand.
"How can this be possible?" Donald called squabbling around.
"Hey, Hollie, are you okay?" Goofy asked as he tried to stay standing and turned to her.
But instead of covering or trying to balance she was standing still and straight looking up with her eyes totally dulled.
"Who are you?" she said in a soft voice. From the floor something began to gather around her feet as it encircled her. The shaking had stopped and the two went towards her trying to help her but only being pushed away by the invisible force. Then the invisible guarding energy became black as it circled her around and flew above her.
"What's happening?" they turned to find the king and queen standing and observing the lifeless Hollie being engulfed by darkness.
"Your Majesty!" they both called as he leaped into the air and slashed the black forces apart liberating her still body as she fell down to her knees. She was now grasping her head with her eyes closed and started shouting.
"Stop it! I don't know what you want! Go away!"
The king quickly got her from her shoulders and started shaking her to, "Snap out of it! Hollie!"
At the sound of her name she snapped and opened her eyes that slowly began to find their color again. She let go of her head as she began looking around clueless.
"What happened?" she asked to the king that stood in front of her.
He just sighed in relief and patted her head. "You should get some rest. That's enough training for today."
"S-Sure," she said confused as to why. She just stood and left for her room.
"What happened to her?" the queen asked.
"Something or someone was showing visions of something. Something that she was scared of," he explained.
"Will she be okay?" Goofy asked taking the question from Donald.
"If she calms down for some time, she may regain self control."
"Poor child," the queen whispered.
With Hollie she was seating on her bed as she thought deeply to remember what she saw. "What was that all about?" she spoke to herself. She grabbed her head with one hand, "I just remember playing with Donald and Goofy, the earthquake, and…" she thought deeply, "Then nothing."
Somewhere else in a place where darkness reigned over the surroundings, dark silhouettes watched over the picture of the earthquake at Disney Castle. A certain witch was overlooking then at the shadow of the confused girl. A sudden burst of a crow that entered the building from the darkness outside made a horrible sound. If flew to the shoulder of the wicked witch. She simply turned to see him there as she returned to the image of the now sleeping girl.
"It seems this battle will soon commence," she called as she coldly turned to her companions that begin to appear each around the circled image.
"And what this girl have to do in the picture?" a crunchy voice called from what seems a dark silhouette of a round being.
"You idiot," another more harsh and with a shadow of a big pirate hat said to him raising his left hand showing his hook. "That girl has a Keyblade as well."
"Looks like that little king has been training her as well," a deep woman's voice called as from her sides came what seem to be tentacles.
"Well if we take care of her now, we'll get her out the way," another husky voice said as he held a rod with the head in the shape of a snake with red bright eyes in his right hand.
"Perhaps we could," the witch called raising her staff and stomping it down for attention. "However I can see that she has some grand potential at hand. A heart full of rage and vengeance is something we could utilize in our behalf. If we could get our hands in her heart we might be able to get her dreams as well." She raised her free hand showing a thin gold necklace with a bright magenta color rock that emanated a dreadful power, "With this."
Some days after the incident at the castle, Hollie was struggling as she was helping out at the library. As she finally finished she sighed and stretched as she began to look at the working magic brooms that were carrying buckets of dripping water in their broomy hands. She giggled at the seen. She had never seen nothing as crazy as that in her world and now she was the one that was actually living the moment. She turned to see the stack of books that were now in place in their high shelves. She traced with her finger the line of books looking for nothing in specific but just looking around. She suddenly stopped as she found a leather book with a dark red color cover. In the inscriptions from the side it read 'Secrets of the Heart' and for who she was she got the old book out of the shelf as she read the front cover. The same title was written in big italic words filled in with silver but it had no authors name what so ever. She looked at the book confused as she opened the book passing through the pages quickly. She stopped at a random page. She began reading to herself in a soft and low voice.
"The heart of any living being has been a mystery for decades leaving nothing behind. For far many years have I only thought of the heart as a human material, just like any other organ. However the heart itself seems to have life of its own. Any living being that experiences any feeling, to me, has been considered to have a heart. Even though its powers are unseen, it still emanates an enormous essence that transfers from being to being. This to me has been shown as to be those bonds of friendship or deep care. Even though invisible the bizarre powers of a heart are powerful, so much that one strong heart can bring another back to living with the aid of a strong feeling or emotion. The heart of humans is still a complete mystery to me and so are even more the anonymous powers of different hearts. I do hope that in my approximating researches I encounter even more about the nature of hearts and whether or not can they be handle by man's hands."
"Hearts? Sounds kind of nostalgic for some reason," Hollie called as she closed the book and putting it back. Before she could even place the book back a thin paper fell from the book as she looked down frozen. On the floor was a small white envelope closed. She put the book back and leaned down to pick up the letter. She looked around to see if anybody had seen her for the past minutes and surprisingly the whole library was empty, not even the brooms had passed by. She glanced back at the envelope as she traced her fingertips through the sealed part and carefully opening it. Afterwards she got the thin old paper out the held a letter. She walked over to the king's desk as she placed the now empty envelope on it and read the aged letter.
To whom it may concern,
From what use to be one is left without the other just as the other is left without one. Four lone hearts that are separated have a great power by themselves alone, but united four hearts are of immense supremacy through their connections. Bonds are what make hearts the invincible force known to any living being. Four keys that have one same keyhole to open. Four different hearts that have one same goal with happiness. The last heart that loses its light without it actually going out. It's the pure story of the lost shine that the angel brings with four different pieces. Is it yours the lost and last shine that is gone?
P.S.-The four hearts that become one, the four parts of a sole heart in four distinct people.
"What is this?" Hollie said to herself as she looked the letter over. All of a sudden a noise of something clanging together was heard as it totally startled her. She turned alarmed to the corner, "H-Hello?" She left the letter on the desk as she turned back to where she thought she heard the noises. "Is…anybody there?" she asked frightened as she walked closer. She crouched a little as she got closer then another noise came. She slowly moved the large vase that covered the corner. Then a small bird jumped out as she gasped scared but then got calm as she noticed what it was. She smiled and kneeled in front of the little bird, "Hey, you. You got me scared right there." She picked the small bird in her hands as the tiny creature didn't move. "You're injured, you poor thing." She carefully caressed the bird's wing to find any injuries.
"So caring are we?" a male voice called as she startling came to her feet and started looking around.
"Who's there!" she demanded furiously.
"Well, you've found that fastidious letter haven't you?" it called again.
"Who are you? Show yourself!"
"Hey don't have to be so hostile, well, at least not when I'm not even putting force into my actions."
"I'll only say this once more," Hollie made White Diamond appear on her free right hand. "Show yourself!"
"Not today sweet heart, you're some good oiled mechanism y'know. Having one of those Keyblades if pretty damn impressive."
"What do you want?"
"What I want has nothing to do, however," he emphasized like a little kid his last word. "You on the other hand have a lot of things in you're hands. You want to find those dear to you right?"
"What do you mean?" Hollie called as she lowered the blade slowly.
"Your village, your friends and family, you miss all that don't ya? Hey maybe I can help, that is, of course, if you want for me to help."
"What do you mean! Who are you!"
"You don't remember anything, do you?" the voice said in a very soft and with the tone of a matter-of-a-fact. "About your village, your friends, your family anything…their just…black memories, right?"
She stayed quite for some seconds before her face became a furious one. She raised the blade more pointing it at thin air. "What the hell are you talking about, of course I remember! What do you want from saying things like that?!"
"You don't remember ever what they looked like or acted like. Only that everyone in there was nice and very granting towards you. Am I wrong?"
"I have a family, friends, people who love me, people who get angry at me sometimes. Does that answer your question?!"
"Part of it, I think you used wrong grammar in your sentence. It's had not have, remember? You lost everything to the Heartless. You had a family and friends, but the cold truth is that you have them no more."
Hollie gasped at the cold answer she had been given. Even if she denied it what the person said was right. She couldn't remember anyone from her village anymore. Their faces are black if she has no memories of them anymore. They were gone…forever.
"Hey, cheer up, at least now no one's gonna scream in your face."
"Shut up!"
"By the way it seems you've found our little spy."
"Spy?" she repeated confused.
"A little winged hearer, not bad but check again."
Hollie looked down to her hand as she noticed that the little bird began glowing dark. Startled she dropped the bird on the floor as it began taking another shape. Its body began to form a small one with a pitch black color with antennae and its eyes a bright yellow. Her eyes grew as she recognized the creature as the ones that attacked her that day.
"A…heartless," she whispered.
"My, my, they just can't leave things alone can they," the voice called as the Heartless began slowly approaching Hollie.
She stepped back in fright, "Why…can't I move?"
"You're having a panic attack; you're body is paralyzed completely due to fear."
"How?!" she shouted trying to make herself come back to her senses. "I've practice so much for this not to happen! I can't let fear control my life forever!"
"Are you sure?" the male voice said a bit fainter.
"I won't let them overwhelm me…I need more-."
"Power, are you sure that's your place?"
"I don't care," she opened her once closed eyes that were down tearing with tears. She looked at the Heartless now with speed approaching her. "If that's what it takes for me…for me to bring them back, then…I won't let them get me!" Suddenly White Diamond began shinning in her hands as the Heartless backed off and agonizingly disappeared.
"Have it your way then…" the voice fainted as it completely left.
She raised her blade looking at the three shining diamonds, "Four hearts are more powerful than one. How can that even be possible?"
"Hollie!" the king's voice rang through the shout closed door together with banging. "What's happening?"
She rapidly headed for the door and with a lot of effort from her short fourteen year old body opened it up. The king and queen where both outside the door as they entered in panic after hearing Hollie shouting.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"We suddenly heard you scream, is everything all right?" she asked touching her hand.
Hollie looked up to the king, "I found a Heartless roaming in here. It kept the door shut called more of its companions. I shouted out of pure instinct, that's all."
"Did they leave?" she asked her.
She nodded, "After defeating some they retreated."
The king looked concerned at the kind of tone that she was talking with. She turned to him once more, "I think you should alert the guards in case anymore Heartless appear."
He took some seconds to snap back, "Yeah, that true. Are you sure you're fine?" He asked very hesitantly.
She nodded, "I would be more worried for the protection of the castle, your Majesty."
"Okay then, you should go and get some rest for now Hollie," he called.
"I'll go with you just to make sure you arrive fine," the queen offered.
"Thank you," she said with a little smile as the two left leaving the king in the library.
He began looking around and noticed that the vase by a corner had been crushed and thought that was due to the struggle. He walked towards his desk as he glanced over it but finding nothing unusual. "Could they've been the ones from her visions?"
Meanwhile with Hollie she was finally escorted to her room and was sitting on her bed. She looked up as she saw the roof a dark orange due to the sunset. Her small window gave into the sunset and filled her room. She spread herself throughout the bed as she glance towards the roof.
"Power…I need it to find them," she whispered.
"Hee hee, want to play with me?" a child's voice squealed out of nowhere.
She sat up almost immediately to the sound. She asked nothing but stayed quiet knowing something would come soon.
"Come with me," Hollie looked up as her bangs covered some of her face and as she glared she saw something forming. A silhouette that started to get bigger and stopped at a certain height. It began to almost resemble as human. That's when the form finally finished and was side ways looking over its shoulder and stretching its hand to Hollie. Hollie's eyes grew as she recognized the form that the bright dark magenta figure had taken. It was her own silhouette.
"So, shall we go?" it said in a childish voice totally different to hers.
Hollie blackly looked at the dark magenta and that was given to her. She simply gave the shadow her hand as they began to walk outside her room and into the dark night around the castle walls. The shadow was dragging the half unconscious Hollie through the hallways of the castle when they finally came to a halt. The silhouette turned to her body to face straight. Hollie looked up and noticed the door that led towards the audience chamber.
"What are we doing here?" Hollie whispered.
"It's locked," her shadow chanted. "Can you?"
"Can I what? Unlock it?" Hollie asked obliviously.
The shadow only nodded with a smile on her face.
"Let's see," Hollie called as White Diamond arrived in her hands. She pointed it at the door that began to glow a pink color and the invisible shield shattered and a little door opened wide enough for them to go in. The silhouette almost immediately started to skip into the chamber as Hollie followed behind her. As she entered she noticed the shadow quickly reaching the throne. She stood there facing Hollie and grabbing her shoulder behind with her other hand. Hollie ran up to her and waited at the front of the throne's steps. The shadow giggled childish as the throne's steps separated from the ground moving to the side and revealing another downstairs chamber.
Hollie looked down to the dark downstairs, "Could this be where…they keep that Cornerstone?"
The shadow suddenly jumped her way towards the stairs and down into the room.
"Hey, wait up," she called as she followed running.
As she entered she noticed that the room below was unusually dark to be where they keep the Cornerstone. She peeked from the opening and saw the shadow standing in front of the Cornerstone and glancing at it.
"Why did you want to be here for?" Hollie asked as she approached her shadow and looked at the object. "Whoa, I never thought it be so big."
"Can you hear it?" the shadow spoke as Hollie turned to see that the silhouette had completely turned her body to face her.
"H-Hear what?" she asked scared of her silent movements.
"Their voices…"
"Whose?"
"The lost children of the vast worlds. Their hearts pleading for someone to hear their agonies. They implore for someone to help them see who they truly are. Hearts that are lost to the immense ambiguousness that resides in their every step," its voice now started to sound more like Hollie's by the second.
"Why are you telling me anyway?" she asked nerves.
"Because," she answered now sounding exactly like Hollie. "Their asking for your help."
"What for?" she called confused. "What can I possibly do for them?"
"You have a key that can liberate any heart from there agonies. They want you to free them from their suffering."
"How the heck do they expect me to do that?" she asked and remembered how pathetic she looked that afternoon in front of danger. "I'm weak. How can I even help them?"
"If you seek a way to help them," the shadow said getting Hollie's attention. The shadow was holding a thin gold necklace with an incrusted magenta jewel inside a gold grab. "This will make you do what you want to do the most. A magic jewel. However the question is will you accept it?"
"Where is she?" the king called as he was followed by Donald and Goofy. He noticed that on the late night a strange power began emanating from every direction and the main source was the Cornerstone Chamber.
"She must be in the audience chamber by now," Donald called as he ran with his staff in his hands.
"But how would Hollie know about the chamber we never told her anything," Goofy added.
"Someone wants her to go there," the king said as they reached the end of the hall and turned to the hallway to reach the audience chamber.
As they turned the king noticed the open doorway to the audience chamber. "They're here already," he called as he ran through the open door and followed by the other two. They passed the immense room directly to the still open downstairs doorway.
"Who told her about the opening?" Donald said out loud as they stopped for some seconds at the top of the stairs.
"Let's find out," the king called as he rushed downstairs.
When he arrived he stopped as soon as he saw two silhouettes standing there and immediately recognized one of them.
"Hollie!" he shouted as Donald and Goofy halted right behind him.
"Hollie what's wrong?" Donald called.
"What ya doing in here?" Goofy said.
But neither of them got an answer. They just saw the other silhouette that resembled Hollie in every way except that the color was a dark bright magenta and that this figure was holding a necklace in her hands.
King Mickey instantly gasped and ran towards the two. "Don't!" but was stopped by an invisible barrier. He made his Keyblade appear and started randomly hitting it with no use.
"Your Majesty!" the two called as they headed to him and aided him in his useless purpose.
"Now," the shadow finally spoke ignoring the pests that attacked her barrier. "Wouldn't you like to save those poor unfortunate hearts that linger in darkness and sorrow?"
Hollie looked directly at the jewel as her dark sapphire eyes began to be filled with a dark magenta color. "I accept."
The shadow grinned and placed the necklace on Hollie's neck, "And so shall our new bearer be with us…in the darkness where you'll find the power you need."
"Hollie stop!" they all began to yell with no success.
Suddenly a dark mist began rising from the floor as it mixed with a green glow and finally emerged into a wicked witch.
"Maleficent!" the king called as the witch stood in the back of the two facing the king and his lackeys.
"Well, well, well, it seems she has given in to her desire," the witch called.
"What are you planning to do to Hollie?!" King Mickey demanded.
"This child with aid me in my quest," she said patting softly Hollie's head. "Being a Keyblade bearer not even you would dare to battle her with the power of darkness within."
"Let her go!" Donald shouted.
"Leave her alone," Goofy called.
Maleficent only smiled and glanced to the shadow, "Finish it."
"Let us linger in darkness," the shadow chanted.
"Let us together linger forever in the powers that enchant so many hearts into sorrow and pain," both of them said in unison almost sounding like one person. "May our wishes come true through the forces we've chose. When darkness prevails light vanishes."
"And from now on," the shadow called.
"This will be my world…my life," Hollie faintly said as they finished.
The shadow grinned widely as it came closer to Hollie as it began to touch the necklace in her chest. "And now we become one, where dark and light reign in one world. The harmony of two hearts within a mere part of a whole. My powers will I give you to hear what is inaudible, voices from deep inside each living beings' heart. Including…your own."
The shadow began dissolving as it entered the jewel in Hollie's chest and making Hollie close her eyes. As the last dust entered Hollie began falling forward.
"No!" the three shouted.
She suddenly disappeared inside a dark abyss as they glanced up at Maleficent. "She is now part of us. The fourth and last part of the heart of light is ours." She disappeared as well leaving the room to brighten up gradually and making the barrier disappeared. The three fell to the ground from exhaustion.
"King Mickey!" Queen Minnie called as she hurried to his side followed by Daisy who went and helped Donald and Goofy.
"What happened?" she asked him.
He only looked to the Cornerstone of Light with a sad expression, "Hollie…she's gone."
