To Random person: your character idea seems really cool! I think I'll make her Aquaria's older sister……

But wait a sec! If she has mondo hooker boots, then what does she wear for bottoms?

(please review with the same name if it's anonymous. If it's not anonymous, say who you are (just say random person, okay?)

Chapter 3

BANG.

That was the first thing I heard the next day. BANG. I looked at my clock. BANG. It was 3:17 AM. BANG. I pulled on my robe and ran downstairs.

"What the hell?" my mother screamed.

"Where's dad?" asked Jeff. My mother ran into my sister's room and ran out with Kara in her arms.

"Come on!" we all ran out of the house at my mother's command.

What I saw next was beyond belief. My dad- yes, MY DAD- was fighting off the Heartless-creatures- the Heartless from my vision- with a weapon that strangely resembled a key. He finished off some of the shadows, when suddenly, a black orb appeared. The orb shrank inward and the albino man from my vision appeared.

"Ansem," my dad said angrily.

"Ah, yes. The Keyblade master, I assume?" the man said. "I'll need to finish you before I do anything else." He summoned this black Heartless-guardian behind him.

"Sora!" my mother sprinted over. Ansem threw a ball of dark energy at her and she fell to the ground.

"Mom!" Jeff and I exclaimed simultaneously.

"Dan and Polar rushed over. "Oh, my god," Polar said, completely mortified.

"Rae, take your sister. You four, go!" my dad exclaimed. "Go to Traverse Town and find Leon." We were still frozen. "We'll be fine! Just go!" he exclaimed.

I took Kara and Jeff, Polar, Dan, Kara, and I ran to our Gummi ship. Jeff set the auto-pilot to Traverse Town.

"What the hell was that?" Dan asked.

"It was my vision," I muttered. I intended for no one to hear, but it was kinda complete silence, so you could essentially hear a pin drop.

"What?" Jeff, Dan, and Polar exclaimed simultaneously.

"It was in my vision. I saw all this coming," I said. "I can't believe I didn't say anything," my eyes welled up with tears and my head fell into my cupped hands.

"It wasn't your fault, Rae," Dan kneeled down next to me and stroked my face. My stomach did that flip-y thing it always did when he talked to me. But this time, it was different; I'd never been touched like that by a boy in my entire life! Let alone, Dan. He must only be trying to comfort me, I thought.

Or was he?

Suddenly, the whole ship shook violently. Kara burst out screaming; I ran over to her and tried to calm her down. The ship shook again and Kara started crying. "Shhh," I tried to comfort her.

"What's happening?" Polar asked.

"We're under attack smart, smart one!" Dan exclaimed.

"Move over!" Jeff pushed Dan and Polar away from the control panel. "The auto-pilot's on Traverse Town, but we can still fight off these guys. Where's the fucking laser button?" he pushed a button on the joystick and a fire ball flew out of our ship to one of the opposing ones. "Now this is what I'm talking about!" he blasted away at the attackers until the ship shook again and an alarm went off.

"We're dead!" exclaimed Polar.

"Refill the fuel tank! There should be some back there!" Jeff ordered. "Where's the shield activator?" he asked to himself.

I ran downstairs and searched around for that fuel tank. Once I found it, I quickly refilled it from a container filled with fuel that was directly below it and ran back upstairs when the alarm stopped flashing. "Jesus Christ!" I exclaimed when the ship quaked again.

"Everybody brace yourselves!" Jeff exclaimed when I walked in. "I'm warping us to Traverse Town!"
"You okay?" Polar asked me.

"Yeah," I answered, completely petrified. I grabbed Kara and ran to my seat. We pulled on our complex seatbelts as Jeff started counting down.

"One," Jeff grabbed the joystick. "Two," I looked around at everyone- they were all scared out of their minds, and I sure didn't blame them. The island that had been our home for fifteen- or, in Polar's case, sixteen- years had just been completely besieged, our parents were stuck there, and my mother was just killed. Meanwhile, we were alone in a Gummi ship, being attacked by a barricade of ships and about to hit light speed and break through everything in our way. We were dead. "THREE!" Jeff pressed an orange button on the control panel and we were all forced backwards into our seats. Everything was so blurry and I had to close my because of the pressure. It felt like all the gravity in the universe was about to crush me flat.

I felt like a scrambled egg on a hot sidewalk when suddenly, everything stopped. We were all breathing heavily and our eyes were literally as big as tennis balls. I blinked a few times and held Kara close to me as she cried.

In front of us was Traverse Town. Jeff started the landing sequence and we slowly floated to the ground in the safety of our Gummi ship. We were safe.

We were alive.

We weren't dead.

When we landed, we were starved. It must have been around 4:30 AM, by this point.

"Is anybody dead?" Dan asked.

We all answered, "No," simultaneously.

"Maimed?"

"No!"

"Any broken or sprained limbs?"

"NO!" we were all louder this time.

"All right, all right," Dan answered defensively.

Kara burst out crying again. "Shhh," I tried to calm her down.

"Come on," Jeff said, "We need to find somewhere to spend the night."

"Well, first let's grab something to eat," Polar said monotonously, hitch-hiking over her shoulder to an outdoor restaurant behind her.

After we had some food, we went to the hotel in the Second District. It wasn't that hard to find our way around- we had performed there last week, so we knew it pretty well.

Dan and Jeff took one room, and Polar, Kara, and I took another one for obvious reasons. I didn't even bother going into the bathroom to change; I just plopped down on my bed. I was already in my pajamas anyway.

It was going to be another sleepless night, I could feel it. And I wasn't even using my powers! I'd slept in that hotel before, but this time it was different. All the other times we'd slept there, we had a home and families to go back to. Now, we were a bunch of stupid teenagers with nothing to go back to. No home. No family. We were in way over our heads.

Polar jumped onto her bed on the other side of the room after she put Kara in her Playpen. "All right, Rae. Time to spill the beans."

"Huh?" I know I sounded stupid trying to act like I didn't know what she was talking about.

"Your vision, Raven. Why didn't you say anything?" she said.

I can't believe she actually called me by my real name! Nobody ever called me Raven since I was five. Not even my parents called me Raven, for Christ's sake!

I felt so guilty. I could have stopped all of this, but, no, I had to be stupid. My eyes filled with tears again my head fell into my hands.

"Please, Rae. Just tell me. You can tell me anything. I only want to help, but I can't if you won't let me." She wrapped her arms around me.

I took a deep breath. "All right." Polar sat down next to me. And I went on about everything. The Heartless, my parents having powers, everything. I didn't even understand half of it. I just needed to tell someone, even if it was too late. I couldn't tell Dan or Jeff. Or even my own parents, if they were there.

After I finished, there was silence for a few seconds. I broke the silence first. "I guess I didn't say anything because I didn't understand it."

"It's okay, Rae. You didn't even-"

"It's NOT okay! Our island was completely devastated and we're the only ones that made it out!" I ranted.

"You don't know that!" Polar said.

"No one could have possibly survived that barricade!"

"We did!" Polar countered. I had no idea how Kara was sleeping through all this bickering. "Let's call it a night," a tear rolled down her cheek. "It's really late."

that was an action-packed chappie, huh? R&R or die! (as usual).
