Sanctuary in the Dark: Dark Witch

By: Orika

Summary: Her voice was a soft melody speaking in his mind. She gave Roxas comfort in times he needed it most, but when creatures of the dark attacked his town. In fear he asked for help and she came to him but he didn't expect her to be the creature that he feared or was she?

Orika: OMG! Another try for a Vampire Fiction, but don't worry I'll keep the story this time. I've got inspiration from a book I'm currently reading.

Vampire Orika: And what book is that Mortal.

Orika: It's a vampire novel book and I enjoy reading it. So let's get on with the story...

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts...

Prologue: Warmth in the Darkness

He skate boarded his way home. His golden spikes going against the wind, he was quite irritated as he left school and didn't join his friends to their usual hang out. He was too irritated and fear that he might cause trouble for his friends.

As soon as he reached home, he ate dinner and went straight to his room and locked his self. He threw his self on the bed and sighed.

I can feel the unravelling anger. What's wrong Roxas?A soft feminine voice spoke in his mind.

Roxas always liked the company of the feminine voice that spoke to him. It put him to ease. He hasn't forgotten the night the melodic voice first spoke to him. It was that time when he was alone afraid in the dark and what crawled in it, until the soothing voice gave him light.

Oh nothing just a little great time with the master of evil.Roxas would always tell her what's going on around him. He trusted her with a lot of things, he doesn't know why.

I see... Seifer was his name, wasn't it? He does seem to have a very big ego to bring you into a boiling point.Roxas could have an image of her tilting her head. He has never actually seen her in person but his mind created an image of a blonde haired girl in a black backless dress wearing black boots that reached her thighs.

Let's just please change the subject. So Naminé what have you been doing?Roxas often wondered where Naminé was or what she was doing at the time being.

The same routine as always, it never changes.But then Naminé never did tell him what routine she was doing.

What routine exactly?Roxas looked outside his window and saw the round moon that lingered in the sky. He marvelled at it the faint glow it held.

Are you watching the moon?Naminé asked changing the subject.

Yeah, are you too?Roxas asked back.

I can see a glimpse of it from where I am. It's beautiful isn't it?Naminé said. But then it is one of the times the creatures of the dark crawls in great number.

Are you talking about the vampires? Do they really exist?Roxas wondered.

Naminé's soft melodic laughter echoed in Roxas' mind. Why do you ask of something that you already know the answer?

I guess I never want to believe in it.Roxas said shifting his body sideways.

But then your memory will never make you forget of your encounter with one.Naminé said. It is a frightening experience especially for someone like you who was still so young back then.

Naminé was right; one of Roxas' greatest fears was a Vampire that almost preyed on him at the forest when Seifer dared him to go there at night. Luckily someone saved him but then he never gotten to see his saviour, because of the darkness.

It's never safe in the dark but then I had no choice but to linger in it.Naminé said.

Why?Roxas asked sitting up.

Because... I am a Darkonian...Naminé said.

"Darkonian? What's that?" Roxas muttered as he has never heard of the word before.

If you find out what I am, you might fear me.Naminé said as the feeling of uneasiness swelled in Roxas.

I won't be, I've like... Talked to you every now and then, maybe not in person but it still counts. Won't you tell me please...?

There was silence. Roxas waited for a reply and heard a sighed in his mind. He smiled knowing that Naminé was gonna tell him.

I will tell you, but now is not the right time. All I can say for now is that my being is in resemblance that of a Vampire but not.Naminé said making Roxas confused. I must take my leave the night is gonna rise soon. And you should be seeking rest tomorrow will be another day.

Naminé...Roxas was hesitant to continue but he did anyway. When will I be able to meet you? In person I mean.

There was another silence.

Soon, I can feel it will be very soon. I just hope not in a worst case scenario.Naminé reassured him.

Oh...Roxas wondered what Naminé meant by worst case scenario hopefully not the same as the one with the Vampire.Good night then...Roxas yawned.

Just outside Roxas' house a blonde haired girl wearing a black halter dress that was above her knee and wearing black boots that was shin length, was standing across the street looking at the window where she knows who resides within. A smile etched on her lips.

"Good night too..." Naminé said. "Retho-tnacifingis ym..." She said a language of her people that has been long forgotten in history.

Naminé held out her hand and a black keyblade appeared.

"For you I will keep this place safe." Naminé said as she disappeared in the darkness, patrolling the town for any dark creatures that would disturb its peace especially Roxas' sleep.

End of Prologue

Orika: So what do you think? My second attempt of a Vampire fiction, I'll read more Vampire stories to keep my imagination running.

Vampire Orika: Sure you do... But do you have the guts to keep it dark.

Orika: Well maybe... If needs be, I'll leave the dark part to you.

Vampire Orika: What!

Orika: Oh come on, help your alter ego here...

Vampire Orika: This is why I hate Mortals...

Orika: Review please... Until next time...
