Chapter 1: a friend returns
Namine's POV
The sunlight awakens me as I wake up in a strange place, the walls are painted white, and the only thing filling this large space are a few drawers, a large table and a single plant in the corner. It feels as if I had just fallen of a cliff, my head throbs as the wind blows, through the cabin that I have awoken in, there is a stinging pain in many places on my body. As I struggle to get up I gasp with pain, when I look down to my side my shirt is ripped and there are multiple cuts and bruises along my side. My ankle has been wrapped with cloth from my shirt and blood has stained the white fabric. I jump off of the bed in one movement, saving my self the agonizing pain. I whimper and determine that my ankle is either sprained or twisted.
"Hello?" I call in a weak voice. No one answers. I walk out of the room and the scenery is completely different. The location that I am at is dark unlike the room bright shine. "Is any one here?" I ask.
"What are you doing here?!" I look down at the bottom of the stairs, and see a boy with dirty blond hair and blue eyes tainted with rage that scans my body.
"Roxas?" I gasp. My eyes began to water "Is that you, every one told me you were dead."
Roxas came the organization as a child when my brother Xemnas and I were playing outside we found Roxas passed out in the field we carried him inside, and as a girl I was the one to take care of him. We became close friends every day I would wait for him in my room and when ever he would finish training we would mess around in the castle. He was my first and only friend, he would be the one to stay behind and protect me and comfort me when ever there were any battles, or when Xemnas would be out on his expedition to find kingdom hearts.
Kingdom hearts is what legend calls the land of the unknown, it is a real kingdom, but it lacked a ruler. Legend tells that one day when some one finds the lost kingdom hearts the true rulers would be revealed, along with the hidden treasure and power hidden with in it.
Last year a group of our nobodies informed me that Roxas had been killed by the rebellion, taken captive and be-headed. I was broken, so filled with rage and hatred towards the rebellion. I thought they had taken my best friend from me. It was after that, that I was introduced to the top soldier of the nobodies, Seifer -aside from Roxas- and it was decided that he and I were betrothed to be become the new ruler's kingdom hearts while Xemnas stayed in the Twilight Kingdom.
Since Roxas had been gone I had been training to fulfill my destiny, becoming leader of the nobodies, and destroying the rebellion.
"No, Namine I can't be killed remember?" His signature smirk fell in to a frown. "Namine what are you doing here?" He asks more firmly.
"I-I I don't know I just woke up in the white room upstairs" My head began to rush with pain, and it reminded me of the pain in my ankle. I dropped to the floor screaming with pain.
Roxas' POV
"Namine? NAMINE!" I run up the stairs and to her side. "Namine, please be okay" I pick her up in my arm and walk her back to the room where she had awoken. I paused when I hear some one entering the mansion.
"Roxas what are you doing, and why is she out of bed." I turn to see my brother Sora standing with my comrades Riku and Kairi.
"She woke up, but I want to know something. How did she get here and why?" I ask. No one answers. I only glare at them.
"I found her just out side of the woods" Kairi answers. "Just about twenty five miles from the perimeter of our location, she kept mumbling your name and saying she knows you were alive"
"But I never did die, it….Seifer!" I growled his name felt bitter on my tongue. "Of course it was because of him, when we were alone he tried to kill me, but why?"
"N-no, not Seifer… Roxas" Namine began to mumble words in her sleep.
"Take her back to the room, she needs to rest more" Kairi commands.
I did as she said and carried her to her new room, I can't believe it has been a year now, she has changed so much, and she didn't look as weak as she was when we were kids. As she lied on the bed she became uneasy and began to mumble more words she kept repeating my name along with Seifer and Xemnas. My spine shivered at the sound of Xemnas' name, I couldn't help but feel a ping of guilt, I had left her alone with those monsters. And it was my job to take care of her.
"No, Seifer I don't want, I have to leave…he's alive." Namine smiled as I set my hand on her head and brushed her hair out of her face. The truth was that I had an idea why Seifer wanted me dead. But I'm not going to lose my best friend again.
