A Strange Hope

Chapter 1

Note, I don't own Kingdom Hearts, even if I wanted to.

January 2, 1942

Naminé

The train had screeched to a halt as the cattle carts were slammed open by the Gestapo.

"Get out NOW!" One would yell. The passengers quickly stepped out to face their new home; Camp Nineteen. The guards dressed themselves as if they were royalty compared to their prisoners; all of which were gypsies, POW, and political enemies of the Third Reich. The camp was encompassed by barbed wire, search towers, gun turrets and bunkers, and living areas. The back has a faded dirt path to a road construction site and a strange building in the back.

"Naminé, we're here so you can wake up now," said Naminé's twin Kairi whispered,"Let's get off before we get punished."

"Right." The two sisters left with their mother as they were held at gun-point by the Gestapo. They were then forced to give what's left of their belongings to the guards to enter. They heard a struggle between a guard and a POW about a family watch, only to end with several bayonets in his back.

"Sis, I'm scared," whispered Naminé, "I want to go home."

"I know it's terrible, but if we try to leave the guards might kill us before we even get one foot out of this line. Besides we just can't leave mother here by her self, so just try to make the most of this. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Kairi, Naminé. Please keep quiet, the guards might think we're plotting to escape."

"Yes mother." they whispered.

Roxas

"Lieutenant Roxas Schinder please report to the main sign-in office to register the new prisoners."

Roxas had just been resting in his barracks when the notification rang sighing, he got up and put on his boots and calmly walked to office silently complaining about his double shift, but remembered how important his job was to their Führer so he just kept his chin up. As he walked up to the desk, he saw the camp commissioner Xemnas.

"Lieutenant Schnider, it is very nice to see you working instead of worrying about your family."

"Yeah." Roxas' family was a strange one his twin, Ventus, was part of Camp 19's elite guard before he was transferred to Nanking, China at World of Nothingness prison camp. Axel, was his pyromaniac third cousin that's stationed at Castle Oblivion with Larxene Axel's fiancé. Roxas sighed, he knew this day was going to be long for him, and with it snowing, he wondered if he can get out of the job by freezing his fingers.

"Name, age, and date of birth," Roxas said in monotone

"Naminé Langley, age fifteen, I was born January 2, 1926." Roxas looked up and saw a face that made him feel strange. 'It must be the cold or something I ate,' he thought.

"So it's your birthday today. No?"

Naminé managed a sob, "Yes."

"Hey! Stay away from my baby sister you Nazi bastard!" The bright rose haired teen yelled, "If you so touch so much as one hair on her head so help me God I will kill you!"

Roxas was actually laughing when he saw the two, 'Polar opposites huh?' Guards suddenly appeared from the door, and began to arrest Kairi, "Let go of my sister. She didn't mean any harm!"

"That's enough. I'll take it from here, one of you may finish my job once I'm done registering their mother," his words surprised the blonde, but saw that the guards weren't moving, "I am your superior officer, and I command you to do as you're told."

"Yes-sir!"

Roxas finally finished Kairi's mother's papers and proceeded to escort them to their barracks, but were stopped by Xemnas and Vexen the camp's researcher.

"Ah! New test subjects, Lieutenant, please bring the two girls to the lab area, but after you send their parental figure to the barracks."

"By your word Colonel." As they walked to the barracks, Kairi began to wonder, "Excuse me, but why did you do that earlier?"

Roxas was at loss for words, and just shrugged saying, "I don't know, maybe I'm feeling ill," but, he knew that somehow, that this was a feeling described by his father, but to love a gypsy? He just shook his head, but little did he know that all hell was about to break loose.

End Chapter I

Hey Gene here, and I know what you're thinking; maybe. You're thinking "Aren't you working on The Beginning of a War?" The answer in yes, but I will be hopefully updating this much more than the former.

Roxas: What? Why am I a Nazi?

Gene: Well you were part of Org. 13, so it's pretty natural.

Naminé: At least I still have Roxas.

"Kairi: Sora? Where are you?

?: All according to plan.
