So this is my first story ever. Try to read it with an open mind and the fact that i don't usually write anything.

Not sure about updates but it is summer so when i get bored, ideas flow more easily.

disclaimer: i do not own Kingdom Hearts. If i did, it would be available for the Xbox and PS3

Chapter 1

The boy woke up with a start. He had had a strange dream last night; not a nightmare, but not his usual sweet, familiar dreams. This was odd for him since he couldn't think of anything to bring it on since his life was nearly perfect as it was. He had his parents who were understanding and caring but weren't over-protective and allowed him many freedoms. He had only one sibling, a sister, who was two years older than him and one of the most popular girls at school yet still treasured her younger brother and always looked out for him. He himself had many friends at school and had never made enemies with a single person. This was his perfect life. But the boy was sick of it.

Long ago he had become bored of his lifestyle and how easy everything seemed. This is why he was so willing on the day that changed his life, even though he really had no say in it. On this day, the boy had awoken in his bed and felt a difference in his room. Although he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, he felt something in the air. It was almost as if an invisible force were pushing him, compelling him to leave his warm, soft bed, which led to more suspicion on his part since he always remembered lying in bed for another half hour after waking, especially on the weekend.

This morning, the boy felt energized and leaped out of his bed with no effort due to the strength that came to him naturally. He had intended on playing a sport during school but soon found that he excelled with every ball, racket, or track he touched and couldn't decide on any one. He ended up playing many different games with his friends outside of school such as street soccer, some basketball, and even a little parkour, although he never attempted any dangerous stunts out of concern that his mother would be devastated if he hurt himself.

The boy walked over to the bathroom that was in his room and gazed into the full body mirror hanging on his door. He was surprised to see a fully awake expression on his face, even though he had lost nearly an hour of sleep this morning, and even more surprised that he felt that way! He stood at an average height of 5 foot 9 and had great health. He was the object of affection of most girls in his class due to his charm and physique. After looking in the mirror for several seconds the boy thought that he liked the person in the mirror. Oh yes, there was nothing wrong with Devin Crosse. It was the world around him which had that problem.

This could be the reason why Devin had always wanted to be an astronaut. It could be a way to get away from all of the people here in this life which threatened to suffocate him. He had admitted many times before that it was a great life. It just wasn't the life for him.

Devin was a very nostalgic person. He believed his childhood had been the best part of his life. Whether that was due to being a simple, naïve child in utter bliss, or if his life was just taking a nosedive, he didn't know. Because of this fact, Devin had held onto many of his childhood toys, often finding comfort within their sweet memories. He spent many weekends taking out his old toys and playing with them however he wanted since that was what he loved. They opened his imagination, something that is usually lost when growing.

This current Saturday, Devin had decided to simply take out two of his favorite dart gun pistols and place them in a custom holster he put around his waist that his father had made him when he was 8. At that time, this particular accessory had been the envy of his whole neighborhood and he would wear them everywhere. Now, if he went outside with them, he would be crushed under the harassment from his peers that would follow. The guns were all loaded, though he didn't plan on shooting them. It was just in case he got a little mad at what was on TV, or wasn't pleased by the way the cat walked over him without his approval.

As Devin sat on his couch, glaring at both the TV and his cat, he caught a slight shimmer of light behind the curtains that hid the stationary half of the glass sliding door that led outside to the deck.

"What the he-" Devin was cut off as a short flash of light came from the same spot, shocking him. The teen had never known anything to be back there and had lived in the house all his life. Even though this light surprised Devin, he wasn't scared. In fact, the only thing he felt was curiosity. Ignoring the hissing sounds protruding from his cat, he slowly walked towards the glass. When he reached the curtain, Devin hesitated for only a second before pulling the curtains back and staring up and down the door.

Although the teen had no idea what he would find there or if there even was anything there, he was fairly disappointed to find nothing. 'It must have been the sun I guess.' Devin thought before turning back to the couch. Before he could fully turn away however, another flash of light illuminated the curtains and Devin before disappearing almost as quickly as it appeared. This time, the teen wasn't stunned by the flash and instead found the very source. Upon inspection, Devin found a hole in the siding of the glass a bit bigger than his fingers, and was surprised to find only bright light when he looked through it.

Devin, being who he was, did the only logical thing he could think of and stuck his pointer finger through the hole. Nothing happened after this so he retracted his finger only to have it catch on something sticking out slightly in the hole. When he had accidentally pulled this part back, Devin nearly fell backward when the glass popped open on the side connecting it to the wall.

The teen was now amazed at the door that appeared before him though it had no hinges or doorknob. He opened the door some more only to have his jaw nearly hit the ground at what he saw.

Instead of seeing his own backyard and porch, Devin was instead staring at a vast expanse of light. The only tangible thing he could see was a small, glass walkway coming from the door. The teen immediately stepped inside.

C'mon, you wouldn't?

Once Devin had passed through the door he heard a soft *thud* behind him and turned around to see that nothing was there anymore. When he tried to pound on the door to get help his hand passed through air and he stumbled a little on the glass. Now Devin panicked and suddenly began to sweat. He looked around him wildly in the hopes of finding another door or just an end to the bright light that encompassed him. He pleaded for the light to end, to be anywhere else and soon, he got his wish.

Devin slowly began to fall, not knowing what had happened to the floor he was previously standing on. Although it appeared that he would fall to his doom, the teen was strangely calm as he moved faster and faster yet it felt to him as though he were descending instead of falling. As if it was controlled by something and Devin once again felt the feeling he had had in bed that morning.

A clear yet unrecognizable voice came to him from all around and said, "Your journey now begins. In light or in darkness, your powers are yours to control. Find the one you must help, for he holds the key to your world and all worlds."

Devin wanted to shout. Wanted someone to save him, but he couldn't for he was now falling into a sleep. 'Strange, I was so awake this morning' he thought with a yawn. Before finally succumbing to the tiredness he felt, Devin witnessed a stronger light than was present sweep around him and focus on two points at his waist before dispersing. He almost questioned this in his mind but fell asleep before he could as the world around him turned black and he stopped falling.

"find the key, and you shall find the point of your life"
