Okay I just read back on some of my other chapters and realized how many times I have made Mera faint or lose consciousness and I swear I will only make her do it one more time in either this chapter or the next one.

Mera- seriously I faint more than Hyatt from excel saga.

I don't own KH, I just own mera's soul

Chapter 10

Again I find myself in this black abyss but this isn't like the dreams I've been having recently. Demons are calling to me from the shadows, their red eyes glowing brighter as they call my name over and over again. The faster I ran the louder their insane chanting became "You cannot hide from the darkness", one shrieked while another yelled "Give in, give in".

I just had to keep running but something grabbed me and stopped me. It was then that I realized I was no longer in the abyss but on the sands of the island that has been my home for the last nine years. Riku stood in front of me wrapping is arms around my shoulders "Mera it's alright", he was so warm and comforting I just wanted to stay there forever. Out of the corner of my eye something flew at me from the direction of the secret place and knocked me in the chest. The water shattered when I fell through it as if it was made of glass and I was falling, falling into darkness.

After what seemed like an eternity my feet hit solid ground and before me was the horrific sight of a six year old me being held up three or four feet off the ground by strong hands swirling with darkness, darkness that was being absorbed into my skin. My hands covered my ears to shut out the screams echoing through my mind, the screams that I always heard in my dreams but now I know those screams were my own.

My younger version hit the floor, a large stone bouncing off my attacker's head. A five year old kairi rushing towards her, grabbing my younger versions wrist and ran with the heartless right behind them.

I watched as Riku raised his hand out in front of him, a faint haze of purple swirling around as something on the floor. Tendrils of shadows raised themselves from the floor and began twisting, molding and forming until there was a heartless version of me standing right in front of me, trying to be intimidating with it's cold yellow eyes.

Riku was just showing me his new powers that maleficent gave him, the power to control the heartless. He seemed to be very proud of this like a little boy who got a new toy and was eager to show it to everyone. Something is different about him today ever since he got back kairi yesterday it's as if he's became obsessed with the darkness and the heartless. I can't help but wonder what she's been telling him. Riku closed his palm and put his hand down then looked at me.

"Mera you feeling okay today", His voice was full of concern can't blame him I think people in wonderland heard my screaming last night. Just as I was about to respond a loud roar echoed through the castle vibrating the walls and probably knocking over a vase or two somewhere. Maleficent appeared in the doorway and walked past us on her way to the grand hall where the princesses are.

"What's going on out there maleficent?" Riku asked her

"A while back we took a princess away from her world and the keeper of the world has been pursuing us ever since", she said with no emotion as usual, "It seems that he has finally made his way here".

Some time later Riku walked through the main hall with what used to be sora's companions and almost reaching the stairs when mera yelled from the doorway to the library. "What are those guys doing here".

"I've picked up a few friends," he said semi- sarcastically. He whispered to her don't worry we can always use them as mindless slaves or experiments. Then she replied a little to loudly "I shall go prepare the test lab chamber thingie….you know we should really come up with names for the rooms here."

"Sure I'll be up there in about five minutes to bring my new 'friends' okay mera", him saying friends with an evil smirk.

"Okie dokie", I said before running off to the lab place.

"Okay where is he", I say to myself as I perch on a table in a very revealing nurse gown with blood on it from the experiments I had done on various other subjects just to pass the time.

I grabbed a nearby knife, as a little penguin like creature from a little world called the netherworld was strapped down his eyes wide with fright as he stared at his friends that were strapped to the walls. I believe the girl named etna called them "prinnies". She said they were good test subjects but now I changed back into what I was wearing before and walked out into the castle chappel hearing a long multple sighs of relief as the doors shut behind me.

"HEY RIKU", I yelled at him when I found him in one of the corridors. Riku's back was turned to me not moving, his outfit had changed and is it just me or is he wearing a skirt?

"Mera", he said coolly. His voice had changed as well and then I knew this was not the Riku I have known all this time. He walked up to me and stood about less than a foot away. "Your heart is filled with darkness and yet you let it remain dormant why? You have more power than you will ever know and yet you keep it all hidden inside you". Since that was the second most random question I have been asked this week I did not answer right away. He must've taken my silence as an invitation for he stepped closer and put his hand on my shoulder. "Tell me do you fear the darkness is that why you do not open your heart to it".

"Because I will not give in to the darkness and let it swallow me", I said bravely and in response he came toward me walking like he had all the time in the worlds until he was about two feet away from me.

"It doesn't matter because in the end our hearts return to the darkness from which it was born from", he stated while holding up a dark blade in front of him. "Look mera the darkness has given me a present the dark keyblade, it has the power to unlock the darkness within hearts but I shall use it to send you to oblivion".

There were loud footsteps pounding down the halls. I never got to see who was coming because the next thing I saw was Riku with his dark keyblade held high and me dropping to my knees on the cold marble floor. I could feel it, the darkness within me crawling up, begging to be set free. Finally I had no choice but to heed to its command falling into a void of shadows but before my body had vanished I uttered "you are not Riku" as I began to drift deeper down further and further into the dark realm he answered "I am ansem the seeker of darkness".

Okay so the next chapter will probably not be coming to you very soon because my computer at my house bites and every time I touch it somebody yells at me for doing something wrong so I have to use my moms work computer. The next chapter will most likely be from sora's perspective of whats happening at the end of this chapter. the prinies and etna are from disgea.
