The streets are dark and cold. The few people I see look like the dead. I have never seen a place like this so cold so lonely so deserted even though it has people. Trash litters the ground ever I steep. The dumpsters on the sides of the ally are over flowing.

" Riku what is this place." I ask the silver haired boy walking beside me.

" I don't know what this place is called. It was the closet world to use so I came here. All I know about it is that it was taken over by the heartless." Riku tells me.

It's getting darker by the second as we walk down the long depressing streets. So far I haven't seen any sign of a heartless. I do feel them but it's very faint. Maybe this horrible place is just making me feel like this.

A man with a cane steps out of the alleyway. He looks like an old beggar with a torn black coat and a gray beard. The man watches us with menacing yellow eyes. It's so creepy.

" What are people like you doing in this town?" He asks Riku.

"Leaving," Riku tells him in a calm but firm voice. I follow him as he steadily walks past the old man.

" Stop," He yells at us. Riku doesn't stop so neither do I. " Stop I say."

" What do you want?" Riku says then turns around.

" Only for you to die." The man says in a different voice.

Heartless appear around us hundreds circling us like vultures coming in for the kill. The man's form changes into someone that I know only in my nightmares. Riku summons his keyblade to his hand. The mans cane has also transformed along with his body into a black simmering keyblade.

" Kairi, I want you to run. Run as fast as you can. The ship is on the other side of town. It should be able to find. Go." He shouts at me. I am reluctant to go and stand still. So much anger flows through me I want nothing else but revenge on this guy for what he did to Sora in my dreams.Who am I. I'm scaring myself.

" Go now." Riku's words echo into my ears. His keyblade clashes with the man from my worst dreams. The sound bring me back from my state of anger and I realize how terrified I am of the situation. I run through the swarming heartless. That's what Riku told me to do. I have only been more scared then this once in my life. That was the day I thought I might have lost Sora forever. The day before Sora sealed Kingdom Hearts.

The heartless are like blood hounds tracking a rabbit. There so fast I can barley stay in front of them. One of there claws hits my left just enough to get me of balance and I stumble. I try to get up but there isn't enough time. They completely surround me.

"Trapped," this word falls from my lips.

I close my eyes. Sora and Riku wouldn't give up so easily and neither can I." This time I'll fight." I whisper into the wind.

A golden light engulfs me. What's happing? It disappears and in my hand I hold a beautiful gold and white keyblade. So I use it. I have never used a keyblade before.I manage to slice and dice enough heartless to run back towards Riku. I know he told me to go to the gummi ship, but what if he needs help. Now I have a way to help. I fell another surge of anger come over me.

I see Riku and the once old man in an all out war. Riku doges a strike to his arm. Then deals a critical blow to the man in black. Riku tries again to hit him, but the man is ready this time and jumps back. " Die," He yells launching another attack at Riku.

The fatal attack misses him by an inch. I finally make my way to the battle Riku sees me and mouths get out of here. I don't run this time. I hide my keyblade from them both and step forward. I have a plan. The man sees me now. He runs to me as fast as he can and grabs me from behind. I didn't have any time to react. He places his keyblade to my throat.

" Move and she dies." He yells to Riku. He begins to step forward then stops.

" He wont hurt me." I yell to Riku. The man jerks the keyblade closer to my throat to shut me up.

Now is the perfect time. I make my keyblade appear and hit him over the head with it. The man falls backwards and is completely unconscious. Riku stares at me with his mouth wide open.

"How did you? What did you?" He begins, but the heartless are coming.

" Take him." I say to Riku." We can use him to find out where Sora is."

He gives me a look that says alright and picks up the man. The heartless begin to chase me all over again as we make our way to the gummi ship. One of them gets to close to me and I hit it off to the side. Finally we make it to Riku's ship. It took enough to get here.

We decide to tie the guy up for now. When he wakes up will question him on where Sora is and will use force if we have to.
