And Then There Was Nothing
Ch.2
"OH NO!!"
"Wake ..up..." The voices echoed in her head. She blinked, which took about ten minutes to do, her head buzzing with the sound of a thousand thoughts. She shook her head and finally opened her eyes. Around her cold walls of long since smooth polished stones glittered with the perspiration of time. She looked around, eyes darting from one side to the other, because she was somehow unable to move her neck.
A figure suddenly moved into view, his long blue flame-like hair standing upon his head, drawing her eyes to it rather than to his style of dress. Without turning his head he said in a smooth somehow contorted voice, " You awake kid?" Ellie shook her head energetically, not feeling well enough to speak. "Good. Those slimy little twerps didn't steal your heart after all." he grumbled turning to look at her. Ellie glanced up at his face quickly, he wasn't to pretty nor was he ugly, she thought to herself. "Where am I?" Ellie finally asked, letting out an urgent question. The man glanced around and walked closer to her, "Hi, I'm Hades, lord of the Dead and all that jazz," he paused and continued on with a smirk, "You are now in Hollow Bastion. Welcome home kid." Ellie thought about it and paused. Suddenly she screamed "AHGG NOOOOOO!" The man covered his ears and wandered away "What a freak." the man.
After several minutes, a group of people entered the long hall. Ellie shook her head, felling even more hung over than before. The bonds that seemed to have bound her to the table suddenly felt loose. She sat up slowly and stared at the group. " Wow I'm stuck in a Disney movie marathon!" The thin tall imposing woman dressed in black looked at her coldly. Ellie winced, feeling almost in agony under the ice cold gaze of the woman. The woman turned and glanced at a tall robed figure who stood in the corner. The figure walked forward slowly, his features invisible under the hood. He reached his hand out and suddenly Ellie felt as if someone were trying to tear her heart out. "Aghh.uhnnnn." Ellie suddenly collapsed, the pain overwhelming her completely. Then, as suddenly as it came, the pain disappeared leaving Ellie breathless. The cloaked figure leaned over and stared in her eyes. "So you are as we thought you to be, pure of heart, only the darkness of your past surrounds your heart. " Ellie looked up at the invisible face puzzled. "Whhat? I don't know what you mean! I.. I.. don't understand!" The robed figure stood up slowly, "You will understand all my little one. Just give us the time to wipe away the darkness." Ellie sighed and was suddenly hauled off her knees by a tall scarlet dressed man who she recognized as Captain Hook. "Come on child we've got work to do before that bilge rat, Sora, comes and takes you off." Ellie only had time to blink as the man dragged her off to her next destination.
