Chapter 2
Transfiguration
Sora slowly got back up on his feet, Donald and Goofy looked worried. He gave them a thumbs up and attempted to smile, but it became more of a grimace of pain. Then he heard a noise, it seemed to be coming from the sky, like something was falling.
He looked up and saw that indeed there was something there. The something was very large and it looked alive, although if it hit the ground at the speed it was falling from, it might not be alive for long.
Sora began to run, he hoped to catch it before it hit. It didn't look like he was going to make it but he suddenly dove for it, as a great pile of dust rose up from the ground.
The dust began to settle and Donald and Goofy strained there eyes to see if Sora had saved it or not. They began to make out Sora and they could clearly see the figure laying in his arms. They cautiously approached.
Gwarsh Sora, what is it? asked Goofy.
I think that it's a girl. Sora responded, not once taking his eyes off of her face, she was very beautiful, her extremely curly hair falling over her shoulders, she looked peaceful. He was afraid for her, it was true that he had caught her, but maybe she had already been dead before she fell, she certainly wasn't moving.
Is she okay? Donald questioned Sora. She's not dead is she?
Sora looked her over and determined her to be about his own age, then he realized something very important. The slight rise and fall of her chest.
She's breathing! He excitedly exclaimed. Then he leaned over her even closer, his face only inches above hers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The darkness finally ended and Laleah felt the light surround her. She was too weak, barely even conscious, but she knew for a fact that the darkness was gone. And it felt like she was flying again.
She slipped back into unconsciousness, for a long time.
Then she heard voices, though she may have heard them, she had no idea what they were saying, they were talking too fast for her. She felt dizzy and light-headed.
Suddenly a shadow came over the light. She opened her eyes just a bit and saw a dark face looming above her.
A Heartless!
She had to protect herself at all costs, so she did the first thing that came to her mind. She allowed her hand to make a fist and then she swung with all her might.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sora never even saw the punch coming, but he did hear the crack when fist met jaw. The impact knocked him off his feet, and he lay on his back about two feet away from the girl. He lay there for awhile, thinking of what to do next, when suddenly Donald and Goofy's faces loomed over his head.
Uh, Sora, are you going to be all right? Goofy asked, his voice full of concern.
Sora carefully shifted his jaw around in his mouth. Nothing appeared to be broken, but it seemed as the one of the teeth in the back of his mouth was chipped. He was about to tell Goofy his findings, when a new face joined the others.
I am so sorry! The girl exclaimed, I thought you were a Heartless and you were going to attack me, so I-
Wait a minute, Sora interrupted, What do you know about the Heartless?
Probably more than you.
Try me.
Laleah was wondering how this kid knew about the Heartless. Not many did, most had forgotten them over the past four years, ever since the door was sealed by the Keyblade Master. This boy seemed to innocent to be mixed up with the Heartless.
She sighed, and thought oh well, who cares if he knows about the Heartless. She was in a completely new world and not in that dark place anymore.
Then she remembered, the voice, the pillars and the mirror...
She looked down at her hand and there it was, the whole time the mirror had stayed in her hand. Then she remembered the reflection in the mirror that was not her own. She stole a quick glance and there it was, the face that stared back was definitely not hers.
Sora looked at the girl for a long time. Her expressions were very strange. At first she seemed content, then confused. That's when she pulled out a mirror, Sora felt like he had seen the mirror before. It made him feel a warmth, like the one he got around Kairi.
Then he realized what he was saying. Could he have already given up on Kairi for this strange girl who had almost broken his jaw. Somehow he knew that wasn't the truth at all. It was the mirror that gave him that warmth, maybe because it was white like Oathkeeper...like Kairi.
He peered at the girl again, she looked strange. She had fallen to her knees and was staring into the mirror while pulling at her face. She looked surprised and almost scared. He chuckled under his breath, but was cut short when her face suddenly loomed frighteningly close to his own.
Tell me what I look like.
Just do it!
O.K., fine, whatever. Sora looked her up and down, finally noticing the strange garments she was wearing. Well you're dressed kind of like a pirate.
I am?
Laleah looked down at her ensemble, it was true that she did resemble a pirate with her big boots, pulled up over extremely loose pants and the white shirt went over her pants. she also wore a white headband in her hair, which had been pulled back though most of it was already out of the ribbon. She began to grow afraid, she had never worn anything like the pirate garments, before. All she had ever known were tight, black dresses. Something was strange, when had she changed her clothing? She didn't remember changing herself. Then she remembered, she had been unconscious for awhile, maybe that boy had found her and...
She began to blush, her face was getting redder by the minute. She was starting to look like a ripe tomato. He wouldn't really do something like that would he? She looked down at the ground in embarrassment. She really didn't think he would, he didn't seem like that, plus she had to get him to tell her more.
Well...What does my face look like?
Uh...I'd tell you but, you have to lift your head first.
Slowly Laleah lifted up her head, and ended up staring directly into his eyes. She was amazed by them, they were so blue, almost a dizzying blue. When he looked at her she felt a warmth inside of her that she had never felt before. It took her breath away.
Is something wrong? Sora asked, he felt a little strange under the girl's gaze, it felt like she could see right into his thoughts. It frightened him.
Um...no, I just really want to know what I look like.
Why is it so important to know?
It just is, okay?
Well, your ears are tiny and you have curly, brown hair that goes past your shoulders, you have a couple freckles across your nose, and...Oh yeah, your eyes are a hazel color.
Hazel? You mean, there not yellow?
Of course not, I've never met anyone with yellow eyes before...well except...
Laleah suddenly looked surprised, then she reached over and grabbed Sora's shoulders and shook him.
Except who?! Laleah didn't care that she was yelling, she knew that there was only one other person in the world that had yellow eyes like her own.
No one important, just someone that I had to defeat four years ago.
WHO WAS IT?!?!
Sora looked startled by the girl's sudden fierceness. He didn't know what he had done that had made her so angry.
Her name was Maleficent.
Laleah sank to her knees and put her head in her lap. She was trying her best to hold the tears back, but there was no stopping them. Then suddenly she was angry. She leapt up, as quick as she could.
So, you are the Keyblade Master, the one named Sora.
He brought out the Keyblade,
She screamed and then spat on him. He jumped back and then he looked up at her with a look that was both surprised and confused. She almost regretting startling him, but then she remembered what he had done. And she knew, it didn't matter anymore, she hated that boy and she would kill him right there and then.
