Chapter 1

A Hopeless Dream

When Sora awoke, he felt comfortable, his arms stretched over his head as he let out a big yawn. His eyes wandered around the room and realized he wasn't in his room. A giant four poster bed, was the victim of his comfort, and it made him feel really small. The room was dazzling it took his breath away, many pictures that littered the walls, seemed to pop right out of a fantasy book. A couch was black, and leather, what made him shiver, it almost looked like the skin of an animal. His eyes adverted from the creepy couch to the walls surrounding him on four sides. The walls were metallic, but it hardly explained where he was, which made him think, This isn't my house, this isn't my room!

He started to panic. He didn't know where he was. He could be a hundred miles from home! His breathing started to quicken at once. His heart raced making his chest rise and fall, all the while his heart started to beat rapidly in his chest. He-he...oh god! He remembered it was blurred but, the memories about the night before hit him like a rock. His hands fisted at his sides crumpling the sheets of the bed. Tears started to well in his eyes, but he would not let them fall. Mercy no, he would not let them run down his face. He bit his lip and decided he wouldn't let this Riku see him at a weakened moment, He would just have to relax.

Taking a deep breath Sora finally calmed down, saying the last phrase in his head that would seem the least awkward.

"So it wasn't a dream. How weird..." He mumbled. Nope, that was awkward. He had mentally scolded himself for trying to use a stupid answer like that. And what's worse! He was talking to himself! That's it I am going crazy! I've heard of this, schizophrenia! Or maybe it's a personality disorder...damn, I wish I knew more about psychology.

He sat up trying to keep himself neutral, only to feel silk sheets unravel at his chest, pooling quickly at his waist. His head turned to the side looking at the walls again only to realize they were decorated with antique items. Items like old vases, vials of dark liquid, and flowers lots of flowers seemed to cover the room as if, as if, to hide his sent under the delicious aroma from these flowers. The funny thing was, he'd never seen flowers like this ever. That he had never dreamed of looking at in his wild imagination. There were people of different races, and species that had scaled bodies, some covered in mammal hair; others even looking human except the way they held themselves or their eyes that told that hiding wasn't possible here. Even things with horns, and large demonic wings. A mouse king sitting in a garden. A girl with albino skin, and dark red hair looking up to the moon as if saying, 'What's out there?' with many other things he couldn't even describe even if he tried. Some of them, were actually really morbid, with blood, eating of human flesh... at least he hoped they weren't human. Who would keep pictures of these?! His eyes wandered around the room again trying to ignore the gory pictures. All the while, his lips pursed slightly. He was actually shocked, frightened even.

'Exactly what happened last night?'

He tried to recall again the night before that was blurry to him at the beginning and getting even more with the details and images as time wore on. Adverting his eyes to his stomach 'That's easier, at least I don't have to look at those pictures now. Concentrate Sora! We need to get those blurred images clearer.'

Monsters had chased him and some sliver haired knight...with fangs? Maybe those were fake...he glanced up at the ceiling, only to have the door to his room give a creek and push slightly open. He peered towards it nervously. Could it be the monsters that eat flesh?!

"Hello? Who's there?" His voice was weak and very wary.

The door slid open all the way and a girl with blond pinned-up hair wearing an old styled kimono appeared.

"Ah hello..." She smiled slightly holding out tea cups. "The master said to wake you and make sure you had something in your stomach..."

"Uh... what do you mean by that...? That's tea right?" Sora watched her, a bit weary of the contents within the cup.

The girl's wide blue eyes looked at him surprised.

"Ah no... it's ...blood." She walked up to him smiling widely her head turned slightly, holding out the dark red liquid. "Don't you drink blood?"

There was a snort behind him. Sora cocked his head to the side, to peer behind her and the man who had saved him, who he thought was Riku stood now in the doorway.

"I meant actual food Faux." Riku added his voice still holding the sounds of a jest behind it.

The girl turned red in the face, obviously either embarrassed or angry. She hurled the tea cup of blood at Riku in her, now obvious, anger.

"You should've told me that!" She growled, launching herself at Riku, tackling him down and grabbing his hair. "Just cause you're a purebred, doesn't mean shit! I'm half!"

Sora broke out laughing, chuckling as he watched Riku and Faux. They both looked at each other and before Riku could reply he coughed slightly looking down and pushed Faux off of him, his shoulders sagging.

"Ah, Faux?"

The female got off of him brushing off her kimono looking at him a little bit. She was obviously shorter then most girls he'd seen, but he doubted even she was human, just like Riku, or so he figured. She nodded, walking crisply out of the room, most likely to go and get actual food...if there was any.

Riku stood up, walking towards Sora. His hair now tinted red from the hot liquid splashed into his face from Faux's earlier actions.

"Ah...well, how are you feeling today?" He asked a bit unsure of how to begin the conversation.

Sora didn't know what words were...or weren't exchanged. But he could've sworn that Faux sent Riku a look before she left. Things kept getting more odd a time went on. He wasn't paying attention to Riku, his eyes closed slightly, face scrunching up, with a tiny pout placed on his lips. I need answers dammit!

"Where are we?" Sora demanded.

Riku look down at Sora, serious now, "We're on Rhage, my ship."

Sora doubted Riku...why did he feel like the older male was lying to him? His mouth opened but than closed. His hands balled into fist, digging his nails into his palms.

"Why are we on a ship?" He demanded, barely controlling his inner rage.

"To take you to the council of elders."

"Why exactly?" Sora was confused, why did things keep spiraling out of his grasp?

Riku evaded Sora's question not wanting to deal with that just now and just spoke some random nonsense until he actually spoke in actual English.

"Sora, you're the first human to get the title of the keyblade master."

Sora gave him a quick glared at Riku. "And what do you mean by that?! You're human aren't you?! And Faux? The girl who came in here... she's human too right? RIGHT?! And when can I go home?! I don't want to be here! I don't want to be a keyblade. Take me home now"

Riku sighed quietly whilst looking at Sora. "Actually...me and Faux are the last of the vampire race. And you can't go home Sora, it's dangerous"

"I can't go home?! You lie! And what do you mean last? Vampires don't exist!" The boy cried back, not believing the elder male.

Riku's eyes narrowed and his temper flared.

"Yeah, say what you want, but the truth of the matter is we are real! And you can't go home, I won't allow it." Riku stormed towards the door to the ship's hallway, anger still on the rise. "Why did the oracle tell me you would be my Shellan?"

"How the hell should I know?" Sora threw back with just as much fury in his own words and stance.

"Little brat! Oh! Don't you dare think of looking around this ship. You are to remain here in this room and that's it!" The vampire hissed, his patience finally starting to crumble down.

"Fine! Why don't you take me back?" Sora shouted as he jumped up from the bed.

"Maybe I will!"

SLAM!

The door slammed on Sora as Riku took his leave. He took his seat once more on the bed and closed his eyes with an irritated sigh. He just wanted his life back no matter how different or troubled he had been before. Now he wasn't the most different person here. There was probably more weird people here or...where ever they were going. He pulled his knees to his body, letting tears fall down his face crying; his thin shoulders raked with silent sobs from the rage, confusion, and even more mixed emotions that whirled about in his head. Would he ever be able to get back home? Would he ever be able to go back to his school? Grow up and have kids? Did he even want to go back. His heart told him no, but common sense told him yes, why not respect, and try to live with humans. He highly doubted any of that was an option now. He had been kidnapped by some ruthless, arrogant, stupid, silver-haired ass hole! He had no choice in the matter.

A slight tap on the door broke Sora out of his crying, perhaps even stopped the tears momentarily. The soft sound of Faux's voice was what calmed Sora down to readjust himself as she opened the door. It was still quite obvious that he'd been crying.

"Um... Sora? May I come in?" The door opened slightly, her wide blue eyes watched him. Taking slow steps to him holding, out some weird cooked bird-like creature on a silver platter. She smiled when Sora nodded with a grunt.

"Thank you."

When she placed the food on his bedside table, she sat down in a huff.

"He's a jerk. I know." she picked up a silver knife cutting the meat into delicate slices. A solemn look stole on her face, showing she was not always happy-go-lucky as it may have seemed before hand.

"Just take it easy on him..."

"On him?! He's the one who attacked me!" Sora fumed as he opened his mouth again to rant on about Riku as Faux giggled, only to be silenced by Faux forcing some of the bird into his mouth.

"He's been taking this very hard. He would have been a keyblade master, but because of the darkness in his heart, he cannot be the one to save the universe. If you can understand that much. Riku is also the last purebred vampire in existence..." she replied back a bit more quietly now.

"But what about you-" Sora started to say.

"I'm only half. And the why he let me come along and follow him was-" She cut him off abruptly to ease his thoughts and was also cut short by another sudden voice.

"FAUX SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Riku's voice bellowed throughout the ship making Faux jump, causing Sora to laugh at her. He let her regain her composure for a moment and tried to calm down by taking a deep breath and continued.

"Well anyway, Riku will tell you in his own time when he's ready. But until then, eat. You do eat bird right? This might not be what you're used to but...at least it's something. It might be old. Riku and I try not to eat a lot of food, because we're gluttons...but at least give it a chance. Try it."

Sora chewed the piece in his mouth for a moment and made a sour face as he swallowed.

"It's nasty. How could you even eat this?! It's gross!" Sora spoke trying to get the taste of the nasty bird off of his tongue by rubbing it on the roof of his mouth only to stop when Faux giggled.

"Ah yes. Yes it is, but it's good for you in so many other ways." she smiled standing up,

"Thirsty at all? Or may I take my leave before Riku decides to kill me for opening my big mouth again?"

"Ah you can leave." Sora smiled slightly. "But one second..."

"Yes Sora?" Her blonde hair shimmered in the light. Her eyes seemed so gentle, so at ease. It made him want her to stay with him for a long while more...he didn't feel attraction to her, but it was different, she seemed quite the intriguing type. It was an odd feeling, more confusing than he'd ever felt for anything or anyone.

'A... friend?' his thoughts butted in sharply.

"Would you..." He started off quietly, but once more was denied access to finish his sentence.

"Of course I'll be your friend. I shall care for you for as long as Riku permits." She reassured him with a smile.

"But why as long as... -"

"It's because Riku is the one in charge here, my blood will not go against him. But I shall do what I can." She bent down, kissing Sora on the forehead and grinned. "Now, eat and rest. I will see about getting your freedom back."

And with that she left with a graceful turn on her heel, while knowing full well Riku would be mad at her for even telling him that much.

Her nimble steps never made a sound as she walked down the halls. Making turns that one would not make or at least remember. But she was a vampire, and she knew these hallways well, which ones led to what. And headed towards her king, another reason one would not take these turns. He got very temperamental, she nodded to the pictures of their ancestors, her kimono swaying this way and that way as she continued to walk down the halls, until she reached a large door. It was easy to know that this was Riku's room, with the red encrusted door along with the vintage paintings on the wall near the door. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"My lord?" She asked quietly.

--

Sora grumbled rolling around on his bed, the bird neglected after a few bites. He wasn't that hungry. He wanted to look around, so hunger was not a major role at this exact moment in time. Sora got into the hallway, his blue eyes darting carefully to both sides, checking for movement outside. The ship hadn't seemed that big when he got on it. His hands tightened on the door knob, biting his bottom lip, contemplating on whether he should stay put or go wandering around. He thought the latter was better for his boredom, at least if he was going on this joy ride then why not enjoy it for all it had to offer? After all, he didn't have school, Riku took him from that and now he had time to have some fun. This was probably better then any X-box 360 game he had anyway.

Sora made sure his shoes were left behind in the room. It wouldn't be fair if he was caught, because his shoes made so much noise on the metal floor. He took off down the left, watching the pictures, they seemed almost alive.

"I wonder why Riku wanted me to stay in my room?" he wondered a bit curiously, but shrugged the thought off. While looking at the titles above the rooms. He couldn't understand what it was saying or even read it, it was in another language.

Turning his attention away from that, he opened the first door that he came to. Sliding it open, it emitted a scratching sound. Sora looked in awe as his eyes spotted an old, dark, key-looking blade, he whistled lowly.

'So that's what a keyblade looks like. I wonder what mine will look like when I get it...?' he mused.

Stepping into the room, it locked behind him as the door slammed closed behind him. His eyes weary on the room around.

"Maybe this is why Riku didn't want me wandering around. One, I could get lost and two, some of these rooms look a little tricky.' he pushed his thoughts away from his mind.

He had been the one to decide on wandering around on his own and dammit he was going to enjoy it.

"Rrrrrrggggh!"

All thoughts of being brave fled Sora's mind when he turned around. A large winged creature with glowing, yellow eyes glared at Sora. It was too dark for Sora to see what exactly what it was; but what made him so sure it was a winged creature was the beating of the wings that he could hear. The out-line of it made it seem huge. He gulped, his throat dry. He pinned himself to the wall ready for it to eat him as it came closer toward him. He moaned softly, talking to himself more than the animal.

"I promise, I was just looking around and besides I don't taste that great anyways, no meat or fat on me. I'm just skin and bones, nothing very good for you at all." He choked out in his fear and panic.

"Rrrrrrggggh?" the creature sniffed at his socks, biting on them and making him feel even more jumpy.

Then something flickered on. The animal was a puppy-dog looking thing, with wings and an inner fire that seemed to glow in the pit of it's stomach that showed through its fur and flesh. It wagged its tail at Sora and jumped up at him, sounding out a bark. Than it made a sound similar to a purr in the back of its throat.

"Rrrrrrggh!"

Sora widened his eyes he knew what that sound meant now, it wanted to play. He bent down laughing, more from relief than anything, feeling rather silly as it licked his face. How could I have been afraid of something so harmless? Besides the biting perks. It was actually as small as a cat.

"I've never had a pet before, but I got to say you scared me pretty badly, back there."

It tilted it's head, nipping at Sora's hand again. He laughed lightly as he picked it up the odd hybrid of a monster. It seemed to like him, so that was good. Sora glanced back up at the keyblade again and pursed his lips slightly.

"Is that Riku's? I wonder why Riku keeps it all locked up...?"

Meanwhile...

"Shit, shit, shit, shit!" Faux cursed as she ran down the hall way looking back and forth between the doors.

Sora was missing and Riku would get mad at her...again! No matter her speed or frantic looking around, she would not be able to locate Sora. It also wasn't a pleasant surprise that Riku was right in her path of travel.

"Damn..." Faux skidded to a stop only to look up at Riku, hesitantly grinning slightly. "Ah, my lord...how may I accept this humble invitation?"

"Don't fuck with me, Faux. Where is he?! He is not in his quarters and we'll be at Traverse Town in an hour! WHERE IS HE?!" Riku roared at his only kin, his fists clenching tightly, so much that his nails dug into his own bare hands and small trickles of blood dripped slowly down.

"Ah. Mistress Kairi is going to be there... I know you'll like th-" Faux quickly tried to evade that sore subject, but wasn't allowed to.

"Where is he?!"

Faux toed the floor looking down. She wouldn't mess with Riku, but not knowing exactly where Sora was she couldn't give a straight, firm answer back. Sora was also her friend...!

She would protect him, no matter what. In a quick motion, she stuck her tongue out at him and winked.

"Catch me and I might tell you." She hoped by then Sora would be in his room by once more.

She took off running with a pissed off full-blooded vampire after her. She gulped, at least her human blood made her more braving and daring during this dire situation. She ran screaming down the halls, but her screeches also filled with laughter. She sprinted as if hell was hot on her heels. In a very close sense it was and it was gaining fast! Hurry Sora! she mentally pleaded.

Sora was sitting in his room getting hell from an extremely pissed off vampire, while his new friend, was sitting next to him. Several welts on her perfect, little head. She looked down, but when they found Sora with his new companion, hybrid dog, that was when it all went down hill. Even though, it was hilarious when recalling it all...

"Watch out!" Faux ran down the halls, swerving left and right in a mad attempt to be rid of an angry vampire on her heels, she could practically feel his breath on her neck.

Her heartbeat thudding in her chest. She was laughing having way too much fun then she should've let herself have.

Her eyes dashed around as she tried to remember which corridor led to where. It wasn't helping much with a pissed off Vampire right behind her trail. "I'll kill you once I get a hold of that pretty head of yours!" She couldn't help but snicker at how hilarious Mr. Prissy was acting. But she couldn't blame him. Sora was important.

Pulling her head out of the clouds she stopped, jumping a little in the air, landing perfectly on the ground. Sliding down the halls quickly, she could hear Riku's steps get closer. He was getting angry. She couldn't stall for long, but maybe for a few more minutes, 30 at the least. Her heart pounded. That was the only problem about being half human, you could do all the things, or just about everything a vampire could do, but you tired so easily.

Her eyes snapped up only to see a blur of brown, before she could stop. A high pitched squeak of "Watch out!" before she crashing into the object that had stepped out into the hall way carrying a Mog, a dog of vampire beasts. She heard it's yip.

And poor Sora had just figured out how to get out of the room only and into the hallways only to be smashed on the floor with a heavy female sitting on his chest along with his new doggy friend. He just stared at the ceiling from his place on the floor, while Faux stared down at him with a big, goofy grin on her face.

"Hiyas Sora! I finally found you...too bad...but...shit! Run Sora run!" And with that stated, Faux took off running down the hall pulling Sora along with her as an enraged roar filled the hallways. Though luck wasn't on their side and she ended up slipping on the slick, metal floor.

Back to the present, here they were now looking at a moody, angered Riku ranting off on how stupid it was and blah, blah, blah, some other unimportant shit. Sora wasn't going to bother with paying any mind to Riku. It was hilarious how Faux seemed to mimic every word and detail like they were actually real siblings. Which he found out they were; from the little talk he had with Faux, when they escaped Riku but not very long.

'Catch me if you caaaan!' Sora smiled at the memory of Faux trying to run down the hall again only to bump into a dead end. They had taken a wrong turn, and just enough time for Riku to catch them after she had told him about Riku and his brothers. Riku was tricked by his older brother and such, only to get a little sister out of it. Because Riku needed to be taught a lesson, the Oracle in the Society made Riku look after Faux which after all the fun business he actually adopted her as a sister. Or something like that...

"I'm very disappointed in both of you! I told you to look after him Faux! Don't you make those faces! Faux!" He glared picking her up by the throat as she bit his hand digging her fangs into his hand.

"Well, Sora wants to be free too ya know!" She said in a mouthful of his hand. Even if they didn't have the same family they sure acted like siblings. Sora laughed lightly as Faux gave him another look.

"And you! Your suppose to listen to me! What if you ended up sending yourself into space?! What would we do then. Because of your stupid human ignorance!"

"Sora's not stupid!"

"Well look who's talking! A half-breed. And what's funny is you're HALF human." He snickered.

Yep...they were Siblings.

Faux sat next to Sora, playing with his hair, as she hummed slightly. Sora pouted in her grip, growling slightly, but his mood quickly brightened up once more when he recalled something.

"Why am I Riku's Shellan? He mentioned it once. What does it mean?"

Faux readjusted herself on the bed and sighed softly.

"A Shellan is a mated female vampire to a male vampire..." She smiled as Sora gave her a confused look.

"But I'm not-" he started.

"I know you're not Sora. That's why Riku thinks it's a mistake. But then again, who knows. Riku is quite fond of you ya know, he just has a hard time at showing it."

Sora laughed at that. "Yeah, he just needs to get laid."

A knock on the door sounded, Sora looked up and grinned. "It's open!"

The door slid open, revealing a silver haired male. His hair was shaggy and covering his left eye.

"Yo."

"Smexy Zexy!! What took you so long?" Faux called out.

Sora's mouth was gaping from surprise.

"I-I thought you were..." he stuttered over his words, trying to form them to make sense in some way.

"Human? Nope you were wrong. I'm actually Riku's caretaker, we knew about you when you were four years old, so I was sent to watch over you." he answered matter of factly.

Sora's eyes widened.

"But then that would make you..."

"Yep. I'm over a hundred years old and I don't age a day." Came the chaste reply back.
