Chapter Three

Night rolled in too quickly for Hikari. All she could hear was her parents and that guy Riku downstairs talking about random things. She sighed softly as she lied down on her bed with a stuffed floppy eared bunny in her arms. She looked outside at the night sky and thought to herself about what she had over heard when she came home. She closed her eyes a bit and suddenly heard yet that same familiar voice that keeps coming to her.

"Hikari?! Hikari!" Tannim called. Hikari sat up and looked outside to see Tannim standing on the docks waving his hands about. She looked up and saw lightning off in the distance. "Hikari get down here now! There is something really weird going on!" without any hesitation, she grabbed her things and climbed out her window.

Riku looked out side as his eyes went wide when he saw lightning.

"It's too early, it can't be!" Riku said as he jumped up and looked out the window.

"What?" Sora walked over looking out as well; he felt his heart sink to his stomach.

"Let's go!" Riku darted out the house. Sora ran up, kissed Kairi's cheek and ran out after Riku. She knew what this meant, and she knew that she needed to stay put.

"What's going on Tannim?" Hikari ran along side her friend.

"Just come here quick!" he said as he went up to the bridge to the island. Hikari followed quickly. She peered behind her to see her father and Riku coming. She swallowed hard and ran faster. The two of them got up in the island. Tannim looked up and pointed up at the sky. Hikari looked as well. Her eyes went wide and she stumbled back a bit. It was a huge black portal that had a red glowing center.

"What the hell?" She asked. Tannim shook his head and looked at her grabbing her shoulders.

"Darkness, that's what it is! It's an opening to another world!" he said. She looked at him and shook her head. Her father and Riku came running up to them. She looked down to see another black portal under her and Tannim. She just about screamed but didn't.

"Hikari!" Sora called. Hikari looked up to see her father running to them.

"Daddy!" she reached her hand out as she could feel herself sinking. Tannim struggled a bit but disappeared out of sight. Hikari could feel tears form in her eyes, for once in her life she was scared, scared of what might happen. She tried to reach further to him, but wasn't winning.

"Hikari! Hang on sweetie!" he called again. Riku shook his head as he almost reached her, but all she saw was darkness, and that was it. Within a split second she found herself on the same Island that she was just on. No one was around her.

"Dad? Mom?! Tannim!!!" she called, but no reply. Nothing. She then felt something heavy in her hand. She looked down to see a giant key in her hand, and someone whispering the word "Keyblade" over and over again. She could feel her heart race faster and faster. She looked around her and little shadow like monster with big glowing yellow eyes started to grow form the ground. She looked up and saw a towering shadow with a heart shaped hole in its chest. She shook her head. Out of nowhere, she got the urge to fight, like she had been doing this all her life. She looked up and ran forward attacking the huge monster.

After a few minutes of attacking and no prevail. The huge shadow swatted at her and knocked her back against something. Her vision became blurry and suddenly it began to fade into Darkness.........

"Oh no!!!!!!" a faint duck like voice could be heard from the distance from within a castle. In fact it was a duck, a white duck dressed in blue wizard like clothing. He ran down a long corridor and out to a large garden. He ran up to another creature that looked somewhat like a dog who had been sitting there looking at the birds.

"Goofy! Goofy!!!!!" the duck called out to the dog like creature. He turned to see the frantic duck.

"Oh, a-hey there Donald." He replied in a calm yet funny accent. Donald ran up to Goofy out of Breath.

"It's happened, again." He said between breaths, Goofy cocked his head to the side with a questioning look.

"What do you mean?"

"Ansem, he's returned."

"Ansem?"

"Yes!!!" the duck yelled.

"Well, what about Sora?"

"What about him?" Donald asked with an impatient tone.

"He's the wielder of the Keyblade."

"That's the thing. In other worlds, time passes differently. He's a lot older now."

"You mean, he can't fight any more?"

"Noooooo!!!!!"

"Then what are we supposed to do?!" Goofy stood slowly. Donald shook his head.

"There has to be a new Keyblade master. We have to travel to Traverse Town to see if they landed there again." Donald said as he walked away. Goofy walked behind him with long lazy like strides.

"Ugh, my head." Hikari said in a groggy like voice. She rubbed the back of her head and moaned slightly from the pain. "It was all a dream." She said as she sat forward having no clue where she was. She opened her eyes slightly, her vision still blurred. She moaned again and sat back against a wall. The only thing she could see at the moment was bright lights everywhere. There was a slicing sound that came from in front of her. She jerked slightly and sat up opening her eyes fully and letting her vision come in clearly now. In front of her stood a tall male with shoulder length brown hair. He held a blade in his hands that had a handle like a revolver. He turned to her without a smile. There was a nice scar across his face. She tried to stand, but failed.

"Don't try to move." He said in a deep tone. Hikari sat back again and moaned about her head. He walked up to her slowly. "I need you to come with me."

"Don't come near me." She said. He stopped in his tracks and shook his head.

"You must." He walked again. She growled slightly.

"Stay away from me or I'll have to hurt you." She threatened. She knew she couldn't fight but she kept thinking about him being a creep or something.

"I won't hurt you." He replied.

"Go away!" she yelled. He shook his head and hit her on the head lightly knocking her out.
