Lol sorry about that. I was really busy and didn't have a lot of time to update. Plus I am still trying to work on chapter 13 and I'm trying to come up with ideas. If u have any after reading this chapter, FEEL FREE TO SPEAK UP!

Chapter 12

Riku was panting hard after his fury attack. Me and … the blonde haired kid, who claimed to be my protector, were watching him calm down. After Molly had fallen, Riku cut Zexion with the keyblade several times, then… pushed him off the edge.

Then he ran over to Molly, who was lying on the floor in horrible condition. He got down on his knees, trying to wake her up. From the way he was shaking her, she wasn't going to get up too soon. The boy next to me got up fast and tried to pry Riku off of Molly, but he just pushed him away.

I quickly got up and ran over to Molly, Riku, and my protector. I looked down at Molly's face, twitching and about ready to awaken. Her face wrinkled and she breathed in sharply. Riku bent down on the other side of her, face brightening slightly. He touched her face caringly.

O

Something touched my forehead gently, and I opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was Riku. I was so happy he was still alive, but I could see a few scratches upon his face. In the corner of my eye Jessica was also looking at me, but moved away because I was just looking at Riku: the one who saved my life.

I could feel Jessica's presence leaving us, but I didn't even look. One of Riku's tears fell on my face, and I sat up. We looked into each others eyes, tearing up.

"Riku, I'm so sor-" I whispered but he put his finger upon my mouth.

"I'm just glad you're safe." He said quietly and moved closer to me. Our lips touched and he was kissing me. I was kissing him back, too. When we finally broke apart, I put my fingers to my lips and blushed. This was my first kiss.

I could feel eyes watching us; Jessica and the boy were watching us with jaws wide open.

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain near my heart. I quickly lay back down, holding myself. My heart wouldn't stop the pain, and it flowed through my body like venom.

"Oh no… Molly! Don't think about the darkness!" Riku said, looking over me. What did he mean by that? "It will take over you! It will try, but don't give it a chance!" I didn't understand what he was talking about. What darkness? … does that mean…

There is also darkness in our hearts, besides the light?

O

I landed on a cold floor just as I woke up. Somebody, meaning Maleficent in more precise terms, had knocked me out. Just as the door closed, blocking out all the light, I saw I was in a small chamber; probably the dungeon. Not again! This had to be the 3rd time I had been kidnapped. The door shut with a creak of the hinges and a clang of metal against metal. Everything in sight was instantly swallowed by the darkness and hidden from my eyes.

I crawled over to a corner on the freezing stone floors. I felt my way to the damp wall and sat up against it. I cradled my knees and shut my eyes. The loneliness inside of me grasped onto my feelings, and I started to cry.

So much had happened to me over the past few days. I was kidnapped, hurt, almost killed, kissed, everything that could possibly happen in a girls dreams. The most over powering thing of all was that I was a princess. I know when I was little, I would be just like a little girly-girl, and tell my mother "I wanna be a princess when I grow up!". But know I am older, and I know what I want to be, and that didn't include royalty. With it's power, there also came downfalls. One I didn't know was that many people hated you, as well as love you, just because of your power. Those people didn't treat me like a real person who had feelings and emotions just like them. But…then there were also people who liked you for who you were; the person inside of you. They liked you no matter if you were a princess or a slave girl, but for the little things that made them feel that way towards you. Those were the people that I liked back.

When I touched the cold floor, it reminded me of Axels lips: cold, dark, secret and hidden from the world. I suddenly felt bad for him. When I was listening to his heart, I… sensed something from it, like I could feel his feelings through it. They felt sad and lonely, like he lost someone or something. He… he just wanted somebody to care for him.

I placed my wet face in my sweating hands, hoping all the darkness would disappear when I looked again. I really wish somebody was here with me. I felt comfortable with my eyes closed, so I drifted off to sleep.

O

A bright light in front of me caused me to sit up, squinting my eyes. I could hear something hit the floor, and the door closed again, the noise echoing through the small square prison. It was probably my food. I was about to crawl over to my long-awaited meal, but suddenly… I heard it breathing. I quickly stopped. OH MY GOD MY FOOD IS ALIVE. I quickly scuttled back into the corner. The thing must have heard me breathe in, so it stopped breathing. I could hear it moving around, making shuffling noises. I could hear it inching towards me, and I pressed up against the wall. It must have been a heartless that could see me, sensing my hearts presence, ready to strike upon it. but then I noticed… it had no glowing eyes.

The creature was right in front of me, looking at me probably with it's night-vision eyes. suddenly it came right in front of my face, it's large tentacle-type thing outstretched, a few inches away from my left cheek.

Suddenly, it touched me, and I flinched. But… it wasn't slimy, or scaly, or anything dangerous, but a human hand. I quickly swiped it away, and the person breathed in sharply, pulling back its hand. I slowly started breathing again, blood flowing more gently to my brain and making me slightly dizzy.

"Who… who is there?" the person said. I instantly recognized the voice. Destiny had to be on my side.

"S-Sora." I whispered. He must have recognized me too, because I could feel him breathing again also. I reached out my hand, and our fingers touched: the touch that told me I was alright. He shuffled and leaned forward towards me, and he wrapped his arms around me. I held him close, the person I felt destined for.

"how did you get here?" he asked, breaking away, though our fingers still touched so we wouldn't loose each other.

"She-maleficent- she took me here. I don't know… where I am or what happened. But… I guess she took you too. I have so many questions to ask you."

"Ask me now, before she comes again."

"First, when I fell under concussion right before you saved me, I had a dream. I was falling into darkness, and I saw a white door. And then I woke up."

"The door… the door to the light. To your heart. It opened, and darkness was coming in from the heartless that was attacking you."

"Wait… a heartless was attacking me?" I said, clueless. Sora told me what happened.

"His presence on my lips? So… he kissed me. That… that … EVIL … " I started, but didn't finish. "How did he? The heartless was the one that had taken your shape, not Axel."

"Axels heartless. It's hard to explain, but sometimes the master of the heartless can somehow be inside the heartless for a moment, like … it's too hard. But that's not the point. The other questions?"

"Why?... why is everybody after me?" I said, tearing up again. I felt like such a cry baby. He held his hand tighter.

"Annie. You have to understand. You … you are special. You are not normal! Your heart is important to many lives on earth, and if there is any damage to your heart, it could greatly affect your planet. You are the princess of earth. You carry all of the earths future right there in your heart. If your heart falls into the wrong hands, then your whole world could come to an end. And… there is something I didn't tell you." He grasped my hands tighter.

"I… I'm your…protector." I looked through the darkness, finding his face. I knew it didn't matter if I was looking at him or not, but… I still did. He… he was my protector? Did that mean that… he was to guard my heart? No wonder… I liked him so much. I felt my closed-up wound on my left side, and fingered the newly-made one on my left side, taking my hand away from the sharp pain. That explains everything… why he protected me, why he cared if I got hurt. And then I wondered… did he love me back, or did he just protect me because it was his job?

"Sora… I… I don't want to be a princess! It's… too hard. I DON'T want to be the damsel in distress anymore." He bent over and hugged me again, about the only thing he could do, since he couldn't control it if I was a princess or not.

"You're not; you are just a little weak from the heartless attack, that's all." He pulled away and felt for my face, whipping off the tears.

I heard the lock on the door click and it swung open, blinding both of us. When my eyes finally adjusted 2 seconds later, a blonde-haired girl, a member of the organization, walked in and strode towards me. She bent down and lifted me from the ground under my arms. I grasped for Soras' hand, but it was too late.

"Sora!" I yelled. He sat there, on his knees and hands, looking to the floor. "Sora please! Come on snap out of it! Anything!" I yelled again. What was wrong with him?

"Sorry, girly, that's enough goodbye time." She said to me, dragging me out of the cell. I held my hands on the door way, keeping myself from leaving. Sora looked up, a mad face showing. But then it became sad, and he looked away.

"I'm sorry… Annie…" he said softly, and turned his head to the ground. Oh, god, not again! Please not again! Where was this unknown taking me? Why… why couldn't Sora help me?

O

I looked at Molly who was crouched over near Riku, and went to go see her, but I felt a horrible pain in my heart and doubled over. BHK (blonde haired kid) came right next to me, looking at my pained face.

"No… crap! There is something wrong with one of them. It could be Annie. I can't tell…" he said to Riku, still right over Molly. I grabbed onto his arm with one of my free hands, squeezing so hard I could easily rip off his sleeve.

He picked me up carefully and had me in his arms, like carrying a baby. Riku got up from the ground and started making another portal to get us out of here. Once he was done with the swirling colorful entrance, he picked Molly up too and we all went through, instantly caught up in the vortex and swept into the current.
