Chapter One - Looking for something?

There was a Nobody wandering through the city. This was normal since all Nobodies ended up here. It was fitting for those that shouldn't exist to be drawn to the world that never did.

And to be drawn to this place was to be taken in by The Organization. Not that the Nobodies cared. Most of them were mindless shells, but this one was different. Axel could tell. Even before he had come close enough to distinguish features.

This Nobody was in the form of a boy who seemed somehow familiar. A blond boy with clear blue eyes. He seemed unsure about something. To Axel he looked innocent. Perhaps naive.

That would change.

Axel called forth the darkness to teleport behind the boy.

"Looking for something?"

He jumped, and turned his eyes on Axel with suspicion.

As of course he should.

"I don't know. I think I was trying to find my way."

"Well, you found me, and that's a good start. Let me show you where to go."

Axel held out his hand with invitation, attempting to look friendly.

The boy didn't take it. If anything he looked more suspicious.

"Who are you?"

"Me? I'm a Nobody. And so are you."

Axel watched the suspicion on the boy's face become confusion and laughed.

"Number 8, Fire Wielder Axel. Or just Axel.Got it memorized?"

"Axel," he repeated.

"Now, don't look at me like that. Really! I mean no harm."

Not directly anyway.

The boy seemed to think it over and then took Axel's hand. Axel opened the dark portal and the two vanished from the city streets.

This is more of a Prologue. The chapters will get longer as the story continues.
