Dislocated Hearts
Chapter Two: Realm of Empty Feelings
Rouge Journal Two
Things haven't gone exactly according to plan…we assumed that the Passer and Fake Dark One of Julia's would just, for lack of a better word, POOF in the containment chamber. Apparantly, that's not how it works out.
I found a Report writing by a World Leader named Ansem. He described some of our research perfectly, it's almost frightening. I believe he calls the Empty Ones Nobodies. The only thing is that…why call them nobodies, when they are nothing but a body? He also called the Dark Ones Heartless, which is also inaccurate. 'Heartless', so he claims, have no heart. This is not the case. They have the Heart they were originally born with, but the reason they are Heartless…is because they cannot access it. Nobodies also seem to have some form of a heart. Perhaps a Temp Heart? I need to research this further by getting a normal test subject.
Back to my research
on Julia, who, as I neglected to mention in my last entry, was
created by science. Her Heartless (Well, her Shader) appears to be
here, as a little black darkling, which seems to have actual
intelligence, an odd trait to the normal Act-On-Instinct Heartless.
The Nobody…Passer, I mean…is not anywhere to be found. Have I
made a mistake? Or are Nobodies and Passer's simply born in another
world, such as how survivors of Broken Worlds seem to always end up
in one of the Five Safe-Havens? The Five Safe-Havens; Devoid
of Darkness and Light. Traverse Town, the calm, peace-loving town;
The Destiny Islands, a series of chained tropical islands; these are
the only two I know the names of. But I have reason to believe there
is at least three other worlds that are safe.
When I say 'safe', I mean they do not lean towards darkness or light, this doesn't mean that darkness and light do not exist in them. One of these worlds are where the Passer's and Nobodies are born.
I can't help to wonder…if a Shader was born in our world…does that mean our world is a Safe Haven?
The girl smiled to herself reading the report. "You can tell Xrogue was so much happier back then. She flicked her blonde ponytail over her shoulder as she began to stare blankly at nothing through her blue eyes.
It was only a few years ago at her Eleventh Year celebration that she was turned into a Nobody. A rogue Heartless…well…Shader, attacked her while she was getting a drink of water away from the celebration of her family.
Xrogue never stopped blaming herself for what happened to me.

Three
days before Takeoff
Riku threw
his dark keyblade at the ground. Why? Why was this happening again?
He really shouldn't go. He'd just give into the Darkness again.
These thoughts had been racing through his mind ever since the Letter
came. His feelings about his friends had been all over the place as
well.
One minute he'd hate Sora for being the True Keyblade Warrior, and another he'd love him as a brother, another he'd love him a completely different way. He'd then hate Kairi for waiting like a pathetic lovesick puppy for Sora, then he'd love her as a sister, and then, like Sora, love her in a completely different way.
He couldn't let them down again. But that would mean he would have to go with them. It would hurt him more than anything else if he could've protected them and they end up getting hurt, or worse.
He would have to go fight.
