Ch. 1

(Aliva's POV)

Slam! That was the first thing I heard from the living room in two hours. 'Great…. she's home.' I had been messing with my black lighter with red flames painted on it. I watched the flame flicker and get smaller, imagining it my life like that. I could hear my mother bitching on the phone. I flipped my lighter lid shut, extinguishing the flame. I looked at the picture of Ale when he and I was twelve with the six year old me on his back. I was so happy with him around to protect me.

"ALIVA! Where the hell are you!" I heard my mother, Diamond yell. I sighed and got off my bed. I quickly walked down the stairs and saw my angry mother with her usual cigarette and bottle of vodka in her hand. I slowly and put my lighter in my pocket without her noticing, knowing she would beat me for having it.

"Yes mother?" I asked dully.

"What have you been doing all day! You were supposed to clean the damn house!" She yelled, throwing a bottle at me and hitting my face," Well maybe you should clean this!" She pushed three bottles and a vase off the table, breaking when they fell on the ground. She started to knock down even more objects when she got angrier. I was trying to keep my anger in check. 'Where did you go? Why did you leave me? I need you here to take me away from Diamond.'

"Do you miss your worthless brother Aliva? You should forget about him, he isn't coming back. He's forgotten you because you don't matter, not to anyone."

"Y-you're lying. He would never do that, not to me," I objected, refusing to believe her. I could feel my anger filling my entire body.

"It's true. He is just like your dead father." She sneered as she grabbed a picture that had me, Father, Diamond, and Ale in the picture just before he died; throwing it at the ground.

"Don't talk about Dad like that! Or Ale!" I yelled, making the picture come out of the broken frame with my mind.

"Of course the freak has to stick up for the ones who mean something to her. Predictable."

"Shut up. It's better than talking shit about them if they're not around. That's pathetic."

"They abandoned you and you still care about them? I knew you never thought for yourself. You are merely a puppet of insanity."

"Shut up! Insulting people is low!" I made the fly at her," I have my own soul, my own heart, and my own destiny! It doesn't involve you so stay out of it. I hate you Diamond and I want you to die and rot in your grave!"

I sent her flying against the wall, knocking her out. It was what I had to do to keep myself from killing her. I grabbed the picture and ran up to my room. I slammed my door shut and kicked my wooden bed frame in anger. I took a deep breath and glanced over at the picture of Ale and me. I eventually calmed down and grabbed the picture, my entire stash of munny (500), and my skateboard. I put the pictures and the munny in the pocket of my jacket. I left the house on my skateboard, not looking back.

I walked around for a few hours, trying to figure out some kind of plan. I stared at the dark, starless sky as I rode freely along, thinking of Ale. 'I don't want to believe Diamond but when are you coming back for me?' I suddenly hit a curb and fell off my skateboard, scraping my arms badly. I slowly got up and grabbed my skateboard. Suddenly these black creatures with small, beady, yellow eyes appeared in front of me. 'What the hell are these things?!' It started to charge at me when I used my power to send it flying away. It squirmed as I kept it under my control. I forgot about the others and got knocked down, resulting the one to be released from my grasp. I manage to send them flying back and get up quickly. They surround me, giving me nowhere to run.

"What the hell are you? Stay the fuck away from me!" I yelled.

They didn't listen to my warning. Once pounced on me and dug its claws into my chest. I screamed as I felt agonizing pain rush through my body. I gathered all of my strength and pushed it off me and tried to run away, covering my bleeding chest with my part of my jacket. I got pounced on again and brought down when I felt more pain when they dug their claws into my chest again. I yelled out in pain. I saw a faint pink glow then darkness all around me. 'Ale...' My vision became dull and I felt my eyes close.

(Axel's POV)

I stood on the outside of Hollow Bastion, sending my assassin nobodies into the city. I stared at the city as I thought about my sister. I hadn't seen her in four years. 'I hope she's okay.' I turned away from the city and walked away, going to another world. Just then, Saix came through a portal behind me," The superior is calling a meeting. You need to be there." With that said, he left. I looked back at the city then sighed and left.

I have been a nobody for about two years. I was traveling around for a while, wanting to know what was out there. I didn't find much but back then I didn't know anything about worlds. I would've had more to explore if I had known. I was deciding to turn back after going as far as I could and got attacked. It was painful but it didn't last very long. My life was cut short just like that. I didn't know my life could end so fast and not as painful as I thought it would. I woke up in the World Never Was, confused. I tried to find my way around and ended up at a castle like place. I ended up with a new name and found out my power. Later I eventually became friends with Demyx, Roxas, and Shaarx. I've been forgetting part of my past.

I pulled out a picture of her when she was four, a bunch of thornless red roses. She looked the camera with a happy, innocent smile. 'I would've forgotten you too if it wasn't for this picture. I can't believe I'm different now... a nobody. I can't go back to your world Aliva.' I appeared in the meeting room, not wanting to attend but I had to. 'I hope it ends quickly...' I sat on my throne as I waited for the others to appear.

(Shaarx's POV)

I was in my room, getting ready for the usual meeting. I listened to music, feeling mesmerized by the rhythm. I felt bored around her, not being like my hiper brother. I mean I like being around him with his always cheerful mood but he's never serious. I was serious but not always. It is just how I am.

Suddenly Demyx ran into my room and glomped me tightly," He Sis!" I figured something like this would happen. He always did this or something between those lines because I was his sister. I gave him a small hug and smiled.

"What is it Demyx?" I asked as we let go.

"We're having a meeting..." He began.

"Yeah, it's the same we have all the time. Why are you so excited by that? What's so different?"

"Well there's gonna be someone new to the organization. Don't you want to know who it is and what the person is like?"

I looked at him in interest," There's someone new?"

He nodded," I can't wait! I hope it is someone who is fun to be around."

"What about Roxas and Axel?"

"Roxas is always really serious and Axel is a hothead."

"What about me?" Roxas asked, walking down the hall and looking annoyed.

"Just talking about how you're always serious," I answered truthfully.

Roxas grumbled something and continued down the hall. I looked at him for a second then shrugged. I looked at Demyx," Let's go. We might as head there." Demyx nodded and took off sprinting down the hall. I ran after her, trying to keep up. I quickly passed Roxas, seemed confused but just shook his head. I turned the corner when I ran into someone. I fell on my butt hard but wasn't hurt really.

"Ouch... All right that's the last time I run through these halls. I don't know how Demyx doesn't do that."

I heard a small chuckle," Yeah, that might be a good idea. Are you alright?"

I glanced up and lightly gasped. There stood in front of me was Zexion. 'Crap!' I smiled brightly to him. I have a small crush on him. He is different around me than the rest of the organization. He seemed really nice and kind of serious. I nodded to his question," I'm fine. Sorry about that Zexion."

"I'm fine. You should be a little more careful. You might run into someone and they could get angry. Come on, we should be getting to the meeting," Zexion replied, and then held out his hand.

I looked at it then grabbed it. He pulled me up, making sure I got to my feet without losing my balance. We walked down the hall and into the meeting room. I sat on my throne, wondering who the new nobody could be and what he or she was like.

(Alison's POV)

I listened as people passed my room to go to the meeting; I have been here for about three months, trying to figure out my memories. I didn't hear any sound and quietly left the castle, taking this opportunity to escape without getting caught. I get out the castle safely and hid from sight to use a portal. I summoned it up to who knows where. 'But it'll be better than here.' I walked into the portal and ended up in some kind of alleyway. I didn't see anyone, which was a good thing. I made the portal disappear just in case someone might come to the alley and see it. I started to walk around, seeing if anything was familiar to me.

Suddenly I heard a dog barking and cautiously walked toward the sound. When I found the dog, I saw a boy with spiky brown hair knocked out against the wall. I stayed out of sight as I spied on him and the dog, wondering what happened. The orange dog licked the kid's face, waking him up.

"Huh...?" The kid murmured, opening his eyes.

I noticed right away his eyes were clear sapphire eyes. The dog barked and started off in my direction. It ran past me, taking off down the street. The boy quickly got up and began to follow it. When he went past the spot I was but he stopped. He walked closer until he could completely see me. He smiled a little," I thought someone was here."

"How did you know?" I replied simply.

"Your hair gave it away."

I didn't say anything but I decided to come out of my hiding spot. He smiled," What's your name?"

"Tell me yours and maybe I will tell you mine."

"My name is Sora."

"... Alison."

"That's cool. You from around here?"

I shrugged. He seemed confused. I started to walk away when he followed me. I sighed but stayed quiet. I was about to enter a store when heartless showed up. I was about to summon my sword when Sora summoned a key like thing and destroyed them. "We should be careful around here. They'll attack us." I rolled my eyes and walked into the store, leaving Sora confused. I saw it was an accessory store. I saw a guy with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Welcome to... oh you're just a bunch of kids." The shop owner replied.

"Kids! We're not kids grandpa! It's Sora," Sora exclaimed at the name.

"Whoa! Okay what ever you say Sora. I'm Cid."

"I don't mean to interrupt but where are we at?" I asked.

"Traverse Town."

"Traverse Town?" Sora asked.

It wasn't any name I have heard, even with me trying to remember it. I walked out of the store, murmuring thanks. I heard Sora say something then run out of the store after me. I rolled my eyes and just ignored him. He seemed offended but didn't say anything. We walked around town, running into a guy named Leon, a pink dressed girl named Aerith, and a hiper ninja girl named Yuffie. They told Sora about the key he had called a keyblade. I didn't listen, not finding it interesting. We ran into some heartless and had to escape quickly. We got rid of them quickly and went to the third district. We look around until we ran into a duck and this dog thing... well more like they fell on us. The duck was on Sora that meant the dog was on me. They looked at Sora's keyblade and gasped," It's the key!"

I huffed, irritated," Get off me." I replied venomously.

The dog got off me, the duck doing the same for Sora. "I'm Donald and this is Goofy." The duck introduced. I gave a nod while Sora introduced us to them, knowing I wasn't going to do it. I saw something up ahead and my eyes widened. It was a big suit of armor. I made my sword appear and charged at it, swinging at it. I got a few hits when Sora, Donald, and Goofy realized what was going on. I got hit back, falling to the side. I got back instantly and prepared some light attacks. I shot light orbs at it, making it lose a hand. Sora started to attack it. "I can deal with this myself Sora!" I yelled at him. He looked at me then shook his head," No! I'm helping! Why don't you want my help?" I shook my head and didn't answer. I continued to attack; making sure Donald's magic and Goofy's shield didn't hit me. After a little while it went down. I sighed in relief, exhausted.

"You alright?" Sora asked.

"I'm fine."

"Why didn't you want me to help you?"

"Cause I don't need it."

"Is that how you were in your home world?"

I shrugged," Probably."

"Probably? Don't you know where you're from?"

I looked away from him. He gasped, feeling horrible that he just said something he shouldn't have. I started to walk away from him. I could hear them talking. "Wait Alison! You should come with us!" I stopped and looked at Sora as he ran after me.

"Why?"

"Cause if you want to find your hometown and regain your memory, then do it with us. It's easier working on a team."

"No thanks."

"Come on Alison! We'll look together. I am looking for my home world too. Please?"

I sighed," Fine..." He smiled and hugged me. I stiffened at the hug," Okay, too close." He let go quickly and took me over to Donald and Goofy's gummy ship. As we started to take off, I thought of one thing. 'This will be one tough ride with this group, especially Sora and his happy go lucky attitude.... Reminds me of Demyx.'
