Alrighty then. Here's my second chapter. A Big cookie for GenisAddict. Thanks for telling me, and for reviewing. Disclaimers: While I don't own anything Final Fantasy, or Disney, I do own this story, and my family. Sorta. Anyways, here it is.


Darkness surrounded a young man. He was about twenty years old, and very thin. Some used to think that he was anorexic. But that wasn't true. Even though he was thin, he did posses some muscle. His hair was short, and a light brownish-grey color. His blue eyes studied the abyss in front of him.

"Do you want more power?" a cold, unreadable voice called out from the darkness. They man shivered.

"Who wants to know?" He asked.

"I do. Who I am, you need not concern yourself with. Tell me, what do you long for?" The voice came again.

"For you to go away." The man murmured.

"Seriously. What does your heart desire?"

He sighed. "Well, since you're not going to leave me alone, until I answer…Yes, I want more power…More control over my life."

"I can give you this and more." The voice called. "I can get you out of this place."

The offer tempted him. What could he do in this place? Nothing. But…

What's the worse that could happen? He asked himself. I could earn some sort of job, and get out of this place.

"What exactly will I be doing?"


"Grew up in a small town,

And when the rain would fall down,

I'd just stare out my window.

Dreaming of what could be,

And if I'd end up happy…"

Selena sang, for the first time in a month. Funny, how things had worked out.

She couldn't be happier if she had been dreaming. Merlin had been teaching her magic, and she had started helping rebuild there world.

Yuffie would gather materia, and Selena, with Merlin, would use magic to give builders the strength to continue.

Cloud, and Leon's job was to protect the workers, from the Heartless.

During breaks, Merlin would give Selena all sorts of magical training.

As she walked down the street, singing, another heartless appeared out of nowhere. Dropping a heap load of shopping bags, Selena sent a wave of water at the creature. After she was sure it was gone, she grabbed up her bags, and headed to the castle, at top speed.

"You're late." Leon said, not even looking up to see who it was.

"I met up with a heartless, sorry." Selena murmured.

Suddenly Yuffie burst from the other room.

"So did you get some new clothes?" She asked, extremely excited.

"Yes I did. Thanks for lending me some for so long."

"No problem, now let's see!" She said, eying the bags like candy.

"Alright, alright!" Selena laughed. "You're so persistent!"

Opening the first bag, Yuffie pulled out a midnight blue shirt, and a pair of black gauchos.

"Ooh, good taste."

"Thanks."

Pulling out the rest of her new clothes, Yuffie found that they were different styles of midnight blue shirts, and lots of black gauchos.

"Why mess with success?" Selena laughed nervously.

"Well, I like it!" Yuffie declared.

"Cool, well I'm going to change, and then head on over to Merlin's."

"Kay! Be careful, now. Those heartless are getting temperamental."

"I will!" Selena called, running to her room.

After throwing on her clothes, she jumped out of her window. It wasn't very high.

Selena loved the walk to Merlin's. It gave her time to think.

I wonder what we're going to do tomorrow. The workers need a break, and I wouldn't mind one myself. But still, I'm sure Yuffie is going to want to do something special. I wonder…

Selena's thoughts were interrupted by something that had fallen from the roof on top of her. Afraid that a heartless has gotten the best of her, Selena used an air attack.

"Hey!" She heard a male voice call. She instantly stopped her attack.

"I'm sorry! I thought you were a heartless!"

"It's okay…" He smiled. He was about her age, with spiky light brown hair, and blue eyes. His smile was extremely contagious, and Selena found herself smiling back at him.

"I'm Selena." His expression changed slightly.

"Sora." He said. "I was wondering if you knew where I could find a friend. Leon?"

"Oh sure! I know Leon, follow me." She said heading back towards the castle.

"Hey Leon! There's someone here to see you!" Selena called.

"Look, if you're another worker, I know that you'll be taking tomorrow off." He said irritably, not bothering to look up.

"It's Sora."

"Oh…Sorry about that, rebuilding Hallow Bastion isn't easy, yaknow. So what brings you here?"
