Chapter 4: Never Land, Happy Thoughts (Sila)
Sila awoke on a hammock in a ship. She heard the waves outside crashing against the ship. Her key blade was lying next to her, she remembered falling to the ground with a crash and passed out. The blade was still gripped in her hand, but she was no longer on the unwashed floor. A young boy was sitting across from Sila on a storage barrel. He looked around thirteen and had spiky brown hair.
"She's up!" A white duck wearing foreign clothes was jumping up and down. He had a magic wand and sparks shot out.
"Donald……" Sila muttered weakly, recognizing the duck from Disney world.
"Whoa! She knows who I am Goofy! Come here!" Goofy ran over with a shield and poked at Sila.
"Hey! Stop it Goofy! Where am I, Disney!" Sila yelled, jumping up.
"Disney? You mean Walt?" Donald asked.
"You knew Walt Disney?" Sila asked surprised.
"Well sure, he came to our castle many years ago. One of the first to travel to different worlds!" Donald exclaimed.
"Well, who are you then?" Sila asked the boy.
"I'm Sora, where did you get that blade? And what's your name?"
"I'm Sila, and I received it moments before my world was attacked by these strange shadow things. My friend was attacked by them then taken by another through a warp hole, thing. Can you tell me where we are?"
"Were in Neverland! We have to seal this world from the heartless, those shadow things you saw." Goofy explained.
"What do you remember from before your world was attacked?" Sora asked.
"I remember having a weird dream…..and a lot of cold darkness." Sila recalled with much difficulty.
"You should remember more, especially since you also have a key blade." Sora said, half scolding. Sila began to cry softly, disappointed in herself and upset that she was being yelled at. "No! Don't cry, I'm sorry! O.K?"
"I've lost everything, and my best friend is dead!" Sila yelled out. "It stabbed her with it's hand and they took her away! What am I to do?"
"It's ok, we are trying to find our friends too." Sora assured her, taking her hand.
"Sorry, sniff…..everything is happening so fast. I just can't take it anymore…." Sila calmed down a little.
"It's O.K., common, you can come with us. We'll look for your friend too." The group headed up the wooden stairs. These steps were well kept and clean, there were no cob webs or anything. They walked up the stairs and to the Captains den when their shadows came to life!
"Oh damn……" Sora muttered as he and Sila took out their blades into the battle stance.
