Chapter 16

Aldis curled like a ball, was staring out the window. It was almost dawn even though the sky still had its stars, the world has always been like this no clear description of night and day you can only tell the differences by the number of people on the street.

Her eyes were puffy having crying all night, how could she sleep after receiving such information, your two best friends are missing and the other is in a somewhat dangerous journey. Even she not to think about it and fill her mind with happy thoughts, it doesn't work because those happy thoughts just remind her that her best friends are not here, not Tidus, Wakka or Selphie 'I want to see them again' she thought, but crying won't solve anything.

"A walk around this place might do me good" she sat up and took a look at her left wrist, the little star in the bracelet twinkled "we will always be together right?" she smiled " I will do everything in my power to find you if I can….."

She managed to stand and put on the slippers by the bed, she came down the stair when she noticed that she was in some kind of inn, there was no one on the first floor except for the receptionist 'an inn for visitors, huh this world seems like an established world just like destiny islands' she thought

"Good morning" she greeted as she walked past the table

"Good morning" the receptionist replied

She stepped out of the inn to see such a spectacular, beautiful world. She admired the restaurants and shops which were not open and walked along the street that looked medieval "Just like I read in the books" she said

She passed by some kind of shop where accessories are sold then she came upon a large door "where does this lead" she asked herself "well it doesn't hurt to check right?"

"Are you worried about Aldis Sora?" Goofy asked

"Well yea...she is the only one left and I don't want to lose her…... I want to go back and see her"

"We can't!" Donald shouted "we still have a lot of work to do in this world, we can't leave until we found that keyhole, besides only your keyblade, have the power to stop this evil"

Sora looks down

"Sora I am sure Aldis is doing fine as long as she stays out of trouble" Goofy said

Sora smiled " no..not Aldis, she is not the one to stay out of trouble, Riku always complains of her recklessness while Kairi cheered her on" Sora lowered his head and squeeze his fists it seems like remembering something like this just made him sadder.

"Aww don't worry Sora, we will find Kairi and Riku before you know it, you will be reunited again," Goofy said, " and Donald don't be so harsh, Sora is still learning the basics of the keyblade".

Sora smiled and looked up "You are right Goofy" his optimism kicked in " I will find my friends and your king and go see other worlds"

Donald smiled " what are you waiting for we've got work to do

Sora grinned "Right"

Riku was in an unknown castle, he was standing there staring at a window.

Maleficent stood behind him, the boy seemed oblivious to her presence "For the past few days this is the only thing you have been doing"

Riku still staring at the window " I want to see my friends"

Her lips pecked up "don't worry boy, the time will come where you will see your friends" he turned to her "but right now there is work that needs to be done"

Aldis did not explore long before she got herself in trouble, well not really. She heard groans that seems to be coming from below the stairs, quickly she ran down following the wincing which sounds like that of a child.

She found a girl underneath the stairs, she was holding her left arm, it seems that the heartless have already attacked, it stood directly in front of the girl as she winced in pain. Fearing the heartless may attack again Aldis picked up a pebble and threw it with all her strength at the creature. In such high speed, the pebble went through the heartless killing it instantly and the force made a dent on the wall

"Are you ok?" she asked, the girl crouched low and starting sobbing Aldis ran up to the child and held her "It is ok, it's alright, everything is fine, you are ok" she smiled, the girl looked up to her and nods, she wipes the girl tears

"Hm"

She turns back to see some dark void forming "heartless are coming" she turned back to the girl "hey can you stand?", the girl nods and she said "good"

Together they ran up the stairs while the heartless followed behind, Aldis opened the door to the hotel "go inside" she told the girl then she ran in and lock the door behind her. The hotel was quiet just like the second district was "the heartless may be here too but don't worry I won't let anything happen to you okay?" Aldis smiled

Just then another dark void formed, Aldis grabbed the child's hand and ran out of the hotel through the other door. As they ran another heartless formed ahead so they took a right turn and ran into the gizmo shop but as soon as she did hound of dark void began to form around them.

"Tch there is no end to them" she gritted her teeth, the heartless drew closer and closer to the poor child and Aldis, as scared as she was she didn't want to break her promise, she pulled the child to herself to protect her at least. While she did that a heartless tried to jump her suddenly she raised her hand cast FIRA burning the heartless as well as the surrounding heartless instantly.

Aldis immediately released her grip on the child and stare at her hand that the fire seemed to have come out from "I am capable of using magic" she smiled to herself

"Come on" the child called on her having made her to the other end of the gizmo shop

Both of them ran out and close the door from behind, things seem to have calmed down a bit.

She carried the girl and jump down from the gizmo shop to the alleyway but they were met with a dead-end

"Oh no, nowhere to go"

"And the door won't budge" the child had run to the door behind

Aldis turned to her as the child walked back, she squatted to the child level and placed her right hand on the child's shoulder, she gave a sweet reassuring smile "we will be fine as long as we are together"

The child smiled back and nodded

"What is your name?" she asked

"Mia," The child said

"My name is Aldis"

"AH, my mom said we came from another world did you too?" Mia asked

Aldis smiled again "yes yes something like that"

'But for a child to know such a thing'

While Mia kept talking a large body have formed from behind, it was too late when Aldis realized the Impending danger she grabbed the child to her chest again to shield her and

SLASH

The heartless wavered and disintegrates leaving a large heart floating away

"Are you okay?" A voice asked
