Hey guys!

I thought the idea of this story up the other day, and wrote the prologue when I was having troubles with the latest chapter of my other story, Different Past: Same Future. I hope you guys like this, and the idea too.

So...

Here you go! The Prologue to Nox Vita.

'Where am I..?' Sora thought, looking around, surrounded by darkness. 'Where are Donald..? Goofy? Ansem?! King Mickey!?' Sora started to panic, looking around.

'Kairi! Riku!' Sora tried to speak, only to find out he couldn't. Looking down he noticed that… That he wasn't human anymore…

'I'M A HEARTLESS!' Sora screeched in his mind, falling over in surprise, trying to recall exactly what happened, last he checked he had… Released his heart to save Kairi…

'I'm a heartless… Because I saved Kairi.' Sora thought, staring at his black hands, one of his antennas twitching.

'So this must be the realm of Darkness! Maybe if I find someone… Someone I know… I could become a Somebody again!' Sora thought hopefully, getting up, darting through the darkness.

He didn't know how long he had traveled, it could have been minutes, hours, weeks, days, months even, nothing seemed to change.

Darkness. Only Darkness surrounded him. Nothing but Darkness.

Sora thought it was going to drive him crazy! He was lonely, tired, hungry, cold, could hardly see a thing, and hadn't even seen another sign of Heartless!

'Maybe I could figure out how to appear in different worlds like other Heartless do…' Sora thought, his antennas drooping as he recalled the fact that he had no idea how to.

So he decided just to continue on with his with his quest to seek out some other Heartless, or at least SOMEONE.

He couldn't move, he couldn't breath, the darkness was pressing around him.

He was starving, he needed something… He needed hearts.

Hearts, hearts, hearts.

That was all Sora could think about. 'No! I need to stop thinking of hearts..! I don't want to turn into… Into… A heartless…'

He let out a quiet cry, not wanting to lose himself…

When suddenly he felt warmth around him, something… No… Someone was holding him..!

"Roxas, watch'cha got there?" He heard a voice, one that was weary, cautious, yet curious, and held a bit of a joke in it.

Sora felt himself being held out, looking up weakly he saw a red-haired man in front of him, flaming locks of hair spiking in the back that would put Cloud's hair to shame.

Green eyes looked at him curiously as Sora noted the tattoos(?) under the man's eyes, he was wearing a black coat.

"Roxas, that's a Heartless." The man said, standing up. "We beat some of those earlier, remember? Now put it down."

Sora watched the man frown when the person, Roxas, shook his head.

"Roxas… Put it down. Saix will get mad if we brought a Heartless home. C'mon, you can play with the Dusks when we get back." The man tried to persuade Roxas again.

Sora wondered just who the heck these guys were, and who was Saix, and what was a Dusk?

Roxas shook his head again, hugging Sora to his chest, giving Sora the ability to look up, noticing blonde locks of hair that spiked, much like Cloud's did, though not as wild as the man's. Blue eyes looked down at him, they held nothing. Seeming blank, he, like the man, wore a black coat.

"C'mon Roxas." The man whined, "I'm going to get in trouble if you don't put that Heartless do-" The man was cut off as Roxas said quietly.

"Sora…" Sora and the man looked at Roxas in shock.

'How do you know my name!?' Sora gaped.

"Sora… Needs us… Axel…" Roxas said quietly, looking down at Sora before looking back up at the red haired man, who Sora figured to be Axel.

Axel continued to look at Roxas in shock, before looking at the Heartless in his arms.

After a while Axel finally sighed, running fingers through his hair. "This is going to get me in so much trouble…" Axel grumbled. "Fine, you can bring him along. If Saix yells at you it's not my fault, alright?"

Roxas smiled and nodded, hugging Sora a bit tighter.

"Fine then. Let's go." With a wave of his hand Axel summoned a dark portal and stepped through it, Roxas, who was still holding Sora.

Little did Sora know, that this day, the start of his Heartless life, was also the beginning, of his next great adventure.

So here you go! I hope you liked it~!
