Chapter 2

Aura lei's muscle ached actually enough to awake her this time. She opened her eyes to see that she was floating in the middle of a horizontal tube a few feet off of the floor in the middle of a technologically adorned, meaning filled with computers and other large, and helpful machines, room that she did not recognize or recall from her memories.

And the worse part was she was now was in a spaghetti strap white dress that came down, barely, to her mid-thigh. And she didn't remember changing into it.

Naturally, she panicked a little, but was immediately calm. She didn't want to alert anyone or anything. Gently she tapped on the glass of her compartment and after a while she was able to find the door and wedge it open quietly. Aura then jumped to the floor silent as a feather. She stealthily snuck through the room to a tiny hall, and followed the hall to a circular room that seemed like a study.

The room had a desk, four or five book cases, a couch, and a bunch of papers scattered across the desk. It had a very quaint feel to it, until Auralei noticed the brown-haired boy sleeping on the couch using her clothes as a pillow. Apparently whoever they were thought that she wouldn't be able to leave with out her clothes. She knew that if she had to she'd be able to leave her clothes, but in this situation, she thought that she'd be able to retrieve them without waking the boy up.

Auralei stalked up quietly, and sat on the couch beside him, just barely resting on it, most of her weight was centered on her legs, in case she needed a quick get away. She gently lifted his head up with one hand and grabbed her clothes with the other and snatched a pillow at the end of the couch and set it behind his head before she put his head down. He seemed to act as thought nothing had happened, and he looked so innocent while he was sleeping. I mean well, come on, almost everyone does. But he looked so much more peaceful and serene, it was awkward, especially since she met him while apparently he was battling some evil force that she got entwined in, and Aura didn't even know his name.

Auralei was about to get up when the boy turned over and put his arm around her waist. She froze. Aura thought that he had woken up, but he was still asleep. She carefully and slowly removed his arm from her waist and set it loosely hang over the edge of the couch. Aura grabbed her clothes and then ran for the door.

Then something horrible happened, she tripped over her own feet, crashing over an end table. This woke the boy up. They locked eyes for a moment his blue eyes with hers, and as he assessed the situation, his eyes got wider and wider. And as soon as he got out of his bed, she was already on her feet and out of the door at the other end of the room.

And of course he chased her and he'd occasionally yell for help. They were running through these tacky cream colored walled, with semi-elegant white stripes, hallway that had scraps of metal as the floor. She turned left , then right, then left, right, left, left, right, left, right, and then a final left turn to get to a stairwell.

But when Aura was about to climb it, a platinum haired guy with aqua-green eyes, wearing, was a the bottom of the stairwell and paused looking curiously at her up and down. Then the other boy came around the corner and yelled, "Stop her!"

The platinum-haired boy tries to grab her but she ducked and slid between his legs and started running up the stairs, and the two men followed her.

Finally the stairs ended and she was outside, with the other two closely behind her. She was on the side of a cliff on a metal platform that connected to stairs that led to this big gigantic metal circle, that almost looked like a sparring ring. Aura ran quickly up the stairs to the sparing ring, or whatever it was. Then out of the stairwell came the two guys.

Auralei got halfway into the circle, hoping to get to the rock path on the other side before the guys got to her but she was too late, they had already caught up with her. She turned around to face them.

"What do you want?!" Throwing her clothes to the side. She was breathing heavily and she felt as if she would explode at any second.

"Take it easy." Sora said to the girl.

"Where am I?!" She questioned frantically.

Riku and Sora saw Leon was by, obviously behind the girl so that she wasn't able to see him, and they waved their arms at him. It caught his attention. Riku pointed at Leon and then turned to Sora and fake-conked him on the head and then pointed at the girl.

"What are you guys doing?!" She asked them. "Answer me!"

Leon advanced toward her with his sword drawn.

Auralei thought those two were crazy. First they chase after her like crazy lunatics and now this?

But then she sensed another person right behind her ready to strike.

She quickly turned around and stuck her hands out to protect herself. Then there was a bright light.

The light cleared and Sora was amazed. The butt end of Leon's gun blade clashed against a Keyblade. The girl's Keyblade. The Keyblade seemed to be made of a type of crystal, or diamond, but it looked exactly like Sora's. The handle, the blade, even the little chain at the end, all of it was made out of crystal. And the charm at the chain was a crystal that made a heart and in the heart was the same crown shape Sora had on his chain around his neck except half of the crown was silver and the other half was gold.

Sora gawked at her in pure amazement.

She forcibly pushed Leon away to the side and ran to the rock path, with her Keyblade in hand.

They apparently were trying to kill her. Auralei walked fast but made sure not to trip. The other two guys with the new one behind them were still following her. She finally made into some building populated, but every twist and turn she'd make, they would follow. But then after one corner they disappeared. It was odd. She turned around and stood still with the gigantic key still in her hand. She was still not sure how she got it or how freakishly it appeared in her hands, but she wielded it and now was able to more accurately defend herself, with her experience with the brown-haired boy's.

Aura tensed. The little hairs on the back of her neck were sticking up. And suddenly in such a blur, the platinum guy came rushing at her with his Keyblade drawn. Quickly, as if on instinct, she defended herself and was able to disarm his and grab his Keyblade in the process. He looked at her surprised, but impressed.

This scared her and she ran down the road.

Sora came up behind Riku and slapped him on the head.
"What are you doing?!" He questioned him. "We are supposed to disarm her, not give her more weapons!"

Riku just looked at him and rolled his eyes. "It's okay spaz, I'll just call my Keyblade back." He said matter-of-factly. He geld out his hand and waited a few seconds. When it didn't come back he looked shocked.

Sora slapped him on the back of the head again. "If she was able to use my Keyblade, why do you think yours is any different?"

Riku shrugged and they all again started after her.

She ran as far as her legs could carry her. They boys came right back up behind her. She backed into a corner between a wall and a building and she threw both Keyblades at their feet. Aura then curled up into a ball and sat huddled as close to the wall as she was going to get. "Go ahead." Auralei started. "Do whatever you guys wanted to do to me."

Sora, Riku, and even Leon wasn't ready for this response. Riku quickly picked up his Keyblade and tried to grab the girls, but in reappeared again in her hands.

Then King Mickey, in his black robe, came out of Merlin's lab (which coincidentally is the building that made the corner with the wall that Aura was sitting in). He ran and stood in front of the girl.

She suddenly stood up with her Keyblade and stood closer to the wall still.

"That's enough, guys." Mickey said. "You have proven yourselves."

Sora and Riku looked at Mickey like he was crazy. Leon knew this didn't include him because he was involved in the incident by accident.

"So this was all just a test for us?" Riku asked shocked.

"No, on the contrary," said Mickey shaking his head and wagging his finger, back and forth. "This is a test for her." He said gesturing to the girl. "And she passed." Mickey turned around to her and held out his hand. "Miss, will you come with me please. We won't hurt you and everything will be explained."

Auralei remembered how the mouse had protected her so she took his hand. It was the only thing to do, she thought, at this moment in time. She was led into the building the mouse\came out of, and all the guys followed.
