Trials of the Heart
I don't own Kingdom Hearts but Amber is my character
You know one of those moments where inspiration just strikes? Yeah I had one of those so here's my Kingdom Hearts thing. It all takes place in a dream, but the dream is a remembrance.
Destiny islands, a small little archipelago that was pretty much un known to the rest of the worlds. Who ever thought that it would start such a fuss in another world. Amber lay on her back staring up at the stars, which were just barely visible through the windows. Then she looked down at the floor where Kairi's unmoving body lay. Why couldn't they have just stayed on Destiny Islands she had liked it there, she had finally found a place that she could call home. She saw a boy who looked like her friend Riku walking around below her around Kairi but she knew it wasn't him. Why had all this had to happen to all of them? Now Riku was possessed by this thing, which called itself Ansem, all he had wanted to do was help Kairi. This last thought made her sad, he hadn't even noticed that she was in trouble, just Kairi. " I need to stop thinking," she said out loud to herself. She leaned back against the cage bars and fell into a deep sleep.
*Dream*
Her dreams first took her to a place she didn't know so well, and face she loved. She saw herself as a small child.
" Come on Cloud play with me," the small Amber whined to her older brother.
" Amber I told you," Cloud said, " I don't know any games."
" Then teach me," Amber said motioning towards the sword he was holding.
" It's dangerous," he said, " and mom would kill me."
" I don't care if it's dangerous and I'll tell mom it's my fault," Amber said, " just teach me."
" Fine," Cloud sighed in defeat, " get that small sword over there and I'll teach you how to use it." And he did, he taught her well over the course of many days on the eighth day he announced. " There, now you know how to sword fight." Just then the whole ground shook violently and she was thrown into the air, Cloud reached out to try and catch her but he missed and the small sword slipped hands.
" Don't be afraid," Cloud yelled after his disappearing sister, " I'll find you, I promise." Then the whole dream moved to a huge spinning vortex of black shadows and odd creatures that she now knew as the Heartless. Her seven-year-old body hurtling through the vortex and getting various cuts and bruises from flying debris. Then all of the sudden she saw an island that seemed to appear out of nowhere, and the land was getting closer. She did the one thing any normal seven year old would do kind of, she cried silently. Then all of the sudden as the ground got closer she saw two boys come out of a cave and stand right under where she was about to land. She thought of yelling out a warning, but she couldn't get her brain to think or her lips to move. The boy's got closer and closer until SMACK; she landed on top of them.
" OW," one of the boys sat up rubbing his head. He looked about a year younger than the other boy, he had brown hair that came down in his face, weird red shorts like none Amber had ever seen, and a white shirt. " What do you think that was Riku," he asked the other boy.
" I don't know," the other boy said then he snuck up on Amber and she felt two strong arms wrap around her neck, " but what ever it is I have it in a head lock." The other boy looked at Amber and Amber realized that they really weren't that young. He looked about fourteen.
" It's a girl," he said in surprise, " do you think she's from the same place as Kairi?" The boy behind Amber let go of her neck and she grabbed his arm and flipped him over. She wasn't expecting it to work but it did, when she had him on the ground she looked down at him. He had white hair but he only looked about fifteen. He had on a yellow tank top and black shorts like the other boy but didn't just open out at the end they came all the way down and closed again. Then she caught a glimpse of her own body, it was broken and bleeding as she had expected it to be, but it wasn't the body of a seven year old, it was the body of a fifteen year old! How long had she been in that vortex? She noticed also that her sword had grown with her and now was roughly the size of her brothers, which was bigger than she was.
" She's strong," the boy named Riku said through gritted teeth, " and this is when she's hurt I would hate to fight her when she's in top condition." Then Amber realized how hurt she really was when her knees all the sudden gave out and she fell on top of the boy on the ground.
" Sorry," she said, " I guess I'm not in as great of shape as I thought I was."
" Sora a little help here," Riku said wrapping his arms around the girl ready to pick her up when his friend helped him off the ground. Sora ran over and helped Riku up and the Riku said to her, " just a minute and we'll get you to someone that can help." A few minutes later Amber found herself in Riku's house. She heard him yell, " mom help." A few minutes later a middle-aged woman came through the door.
" What is it Riku?" the woman asked.
" It's raining girls again," he joked and Amber wondered what he meant, " but she's hurt can you help her?"
" Well I am the doctor on the islands now aren't I?" she said then she turned to Amber, " do you have anything else that the boys didn't bring?"
" Yes I had a sword it's on the beach where I landed on your son," Amber said.
" Riku why don't you go get it?" his mother said.
" You might want to take your friend Sora with you," Amber said, " the stupid thing is bigger than I am and if you mess up carrying it you'll hurt yourself pretty badly."
" Thanks for the warning," Riku said, " I'll go get Sora and we'll bring it here." Then he left and Riku's mom started talking to her while she cleaned the wounds.
" So where are you from?" she asked.
" Just the middle of the jungle," Amber said.
"How did you get here?"
" A big giant vortex of death," Amber said dryly.
" Oh," said the doctor, " well I'm going to have to knock you out now, because you need stitches."
" Okay," Amber said and submitted quietly to unconscious ness. Elsewhere on the beach Riku and Sora were not having as much luck. They had found the sword, but neither of them wanted to go near it. It was as Amber had said bigger than her, and in a matter of minutes they had both realized that unlike the wooden swords that they used, this one was real and very sharp.
" Well Riku," Sora said, " it's been nice knowing us."
" There has to be a way to move that thing besides picking it up," Riku said, then he spotted some rope and fronds, " I have an idea, come on." He and Sora ran over to the items and started to make a carrying strap. They slipped it around the sword and carried it half way then the sword cut every thing to pieces and they were forced to carry it back the rest of the way back to the docks.
" Now what?" Sora asked him, " this thing is so sharp it will probably cut threw the boats and then it's straight to the bottom."
" We have to leave it here," Riku shrugged, " there's no way to get it across the water. Let's go back and see how she's doing."
" How who's doing?" a voice from behind them said causing them both to jump."
" Kairi," Riku sighed, "don't sneak up on us like that."
" Let's go see who's doing?" Kairi asked.
" Kairi do you remember the day of the meteor shower and when we found you we said it was raining girls?" Riku asked her.
" Yeah," Kairi said wondering what that could possibly have to do with this.
" Well it's kind of like that," Riku explained, " except this time there was no meteor shower, she just fell out of the air."
" I want to meet her," Kairi said jumping in her boat and following them. ^-^ Back at Riku's
Amber stirred into conscious ness. The doctor was still sitting there and she said; " now it will hurt for a little bit and you might be a little dizzy."
" I feel fine," Amber said and to demonstrate her point she got up and walked out side. When she got out there she looked over to the smaller Island that the kids had claimed as their own. She saw three boats paddling toward the island, she could see their occupants too, and her eyes were sharp from growing up it the middle of a Jungle. Two of the boat occupants were Riku and Sora but there was another a girl that Amber didn't know. She had red hair, and looked about Sora's age. She was wearing a white tank top, with what looked like a pink skirt but Amber could see that there were shorts underneath it. Then she shifted her view to the bank, and saw her sword glistening in the sand. ' I knew they wouldn't risk bringing over water in their boats,' she though. Then the boats were right in front of her. All three kids jumped out of their boats at the same time. Riku walked over to her, " How are you feeling?" he asked.
" I'm fine," Amber said, " thank you for helping me."
" Your welcome," Riku said, " by the way this is Kairi, she fell out of the sky too."
" Nice to meet you," Amber said as she shook the girls hand, then Kairi pulled her hand back.
" Are you trying to break my hand?" Kairi asked her.
" No," Amber replied, " I'm just stronger than I thought I was."
" Oh," said Kairi, " anyway my brain says nice to meet you even if my hand doesn't agree." They all laughed even Amber, it was like something from those happy seven years of her life. Then they stopped and the world came back into perspective.
" So," Riku said with a slight pause, " do you know anything about where you came from."
" Yes," Amber said, " I remember life before I got torn away from it."
" I don't," Kairi said, " but it's okay, I guess if I don't remember it I can't miss it can I?"
" No," Amber said, " our house was in a jungle I don't know which one, but what I mostly remember is my brother."
" Hey," Sora cut in we're building a raft to take us out of here, maybe we'll find your brother." *End Dream*
Someone jostling the cage awakened Amber. " Wake up," a gruff voice said, " food." A small metal try was set in front of her. It contained: bread, some water, and an apple. She reached for it muscle aching for the effort. She had tried to escape more than once, but she had always been stopped and beaten for it. Now it hurt to move, so she mostly leaned up against the bars where she could see everything. She was stuck here for now, but she would be patient and wait. For what she didn't know but she knew someone was going to come.
Authors note: This is far from over! This story follows the Kingdom Hearts story line, but it's threw Amber's view not Sora's. I will keep writing, but I'm helping my boy friend create a video game so now I must go draw! See yall's.
