The Seer of Heart

I pulled my braided pigtails and got to my knees. I looked around to see a graveyard. I didn't care. I brought my head to the ground and cried. "Zane is right… once this journey is over, I will be separated from Sora… And… I love him… I don't want to leave him." I whispered.

"What's wrong dear?" A voice asked behind me.

I gasped and turned.

Maleficent put her hand over my forehead and I felt myself hit the floor.

Sora's Pov

I couldn't help but have a feeling that something was wrong.

Something about Rika. Usually when she leaves on her own she gets into trouble.

I watched as Jack went to show us the door to Christmas Town. I was so excited, but I was also worried about Rika. As I passed the graveyard something familiar caught my eyes. "Wait," I said and looked in the Graveyard.

There!

I opened the door and ran to the ground.

There on the ground was Rika's witch hat.

"That's Rika's hat." Hikari said coming up.

"Yeah… but where is she?" I asked and looked around.

"She might be in Christmas Town…" Jack said.

"I doubt it, but fine… Hikari, you can take care of yourself right?" I asked.

Hikari shifted nervously, but nodded with a brave face.

"Okay then, try not to get lost but look around Halloween Town for Rika. Ask Sally to help if you want to. She's bound to help." I said.

Hikari nodded and ran off.

"We go to Christmas Town." I said.

"Right, moving on!" Jack said happily.

Jack was happy, but I was worried.

'Where are you Rika?' I thought.

Once we got there I found Christmas really cool, but I was still worried about Rika.

We walked into town and I heard a girl humming to herself.

I looked at the direction the humming was and I walked towards it. I heard Donald call me, but I ignored him. I went through a gate and came to a wide open space. I watched a figure dance as she hummed.

It was Rika!

"Rika!" I yelled and she stopped.

She turned to me and smiled. "Sora!" She ran up to me.

"Are you alright? I found you hat and sword and I was worried." I said.

She smiled softly. "Thanks, Sora… I saw Maleficent and she somehow knocked me out, but when I came to I was here…" She said putting on her hat and putting her sword around her.

"I hope she didn't do anything to you." I said.

She smiled at me.

For some reason there was something different about Rika. Some that wasn't right… but I couldn't find out what.

"Why were you humming and dancing?" I asked.

"I don't know… The Christmas decorations made me… happy." She said smiling at the sky.

"Glad to hear it. Come on, Let's go see Santa!" I said and ran off. I looked back at her without her noticing and made up my mind. 'She's not Rika…'

Rika's Pov

I groaned and opened my eyes to see trees and the night. 'Am I still in Halloween Town?' I thought. I tried to move, but I couldn't. I felt ropes on my feet and hands.

"So you're up."

I heard Zane's voice and looked at him. "Zane!" I growled and he smirked.

He wore a cape with black shirt pants and a belt. The cape was black on the out side and the inside was red. His hair was strangely pulled back straight instead of spiked and he had fangs. "You got it, honey…" He said.

I rolled and jumped to get him, but fell.

Zane went up to me and frowned with a fake sympathetic look.

I cast a little fire on the ropes but the magic didn't work.

"Oh, Magic doesn't work on this circle." Zane said.

I looked around me and found I was in the middle of a familiar circle used back at home. "What do you want?" I asked.

"You're heart that's all…" He said.

"Why my heart?" I asked.

"You heard the Organization and Maleficent. You're the Seer of Hearts. You're special." He said.

"What?" I asked.

"You don't know? Geez, I thought you were smart…" He said and I noticed Maleficent outside of the circle smirking at me.

"What are you looking at you old hag?" I yelled.

"You will regret what you called me…" She said.

The circle glowed and I gasped as I remembered where I saw the circle.

I sat on the hill reading a book about powerful magic. I turned the pages until I found a picture of a strange circle. "The Circle of Hearts." I whispered. I traced the outline of the circle and looked at the paragraph next to it.

"Not much is known about this circle, but it is used in the early times as a execution site. Any magic using prisoners fall into the circle they're magic abilities are locked until they get out of the circle. Once the circle is activated the circle glows and forces join together to rip the heart away from the body."

My hand felt weak and I gulped.

"The circle was banned from an accident of a mayor's daughter. She fell into the circle trying to save her love and they both died."

I put the book down and looked at the girl and boy next to the caption. I made a pray to them and picked up the book. I was about to turn the page but something caught my eye.

"Prophecy:…"

I narrowed my eyes and flipped to the other pages seeing no "prophecy" it them. I turned back and read:

"Prophecy: As darkness grows and light fights back the Seer of Hearts will fall. As the Seer of Hearts fall the worlds of all will disappear and the universe will collapse."

There were more but it was crossed out and was barely hard enough to read. I closed the book and closed my eyes.

"The Seer of Hearts will fall… As the Seer of Hearts fall the worlds of all will disappear and the universe will collapse…" I whispered.

A pain shot through my chest and I yelled in pain.

I felt a force trying to rip my body and my heart ached in pain. I cried in pain again.

The circle suddenly stopped and I stopped and panted heavily.

"What happened?" Maleficent asked.

I looked around and heard running footsteps.

"Rika!" I heard Hikari's voice and Zane yelled in pain as he was shot back by light.

Maleficent disappeared as Hikari attacked her as well.

Hikari ran to me and cut the ropes. She hugged me and I hugged back. "Are you alright?" She asked.

"I… think so…" I said and she took me out of the circle.

"What did they do?" She asked.

"They tried to take my heart, but they failed for some reason." I said and looked back at the circle. I got to my knees and pressed my hand on my outside of the circle.

Wind blew and blew the circle away.

I sighed and collapsed on the ground.
