Chelsea hit her alarm clock with her stuffed bear and snuggled back under the covers. The door to her room opened and Chelsea looked up to find her mother there, smiling at her. She shot up out of bed and rushed over to Lilth and hugged her.
"When did you get back?" Chelsea asked looking at her mother.
Lilth sat down on the bed. "Last night. I came in but you were already asleep."
Chelsea nodded and ran into her closet and got dressed quickly only to find her mother gone.
"Out here, sweetie!"
Chelsea walked out of her room, her blue skirt bouncing with every step she took. She found her mother in the kitchen getting her bag set up. Looks like she'll be gone again and right after she just got back., Chelsea thought, bitterly.
"I know I just got back but I have to go again." She lightly kissed Chelsea cheek and walked out the door. The young blonde sighed and sat down on one of the chairs.
"I was planning on going to school, but I'm too depressed now."
At School
These were the only times that they ever wore the uniforms. Sora looked down at his outfit in distaste. He had to wear the school's plain collared white shirt and a pair of blue slacks. Same with every guy at the school and girl but at least they got to wear a skirt instead of pants.
Roxas walked over to his brother. "She's not here. Where do you think she could be?" he asked.
Sora sighed and thought about it. If Chelsea wasn't here then maybe her mom came home and she wanted to spend time with her. He looked over at his brother. "Maybe her mom's home."
Roxas grinned. "Yeah! How 'bout we go see her at lunch?"
Sora grinned. "Sure."
Back At Chelsea's
Chelsea was laying down on her bed, drawing in her notebook.. She was drawing the island that her, Sora, and Roxas were always at, but the island didn't look normal. It was dark and there was a huge storm. Chelsea made sure to not miss any detail; it had to be perfect.
After finishing that drawing, she worked on another one. It was the secret cave in the rocks on the island. Her and the boys used to play there when they were younger. It was dark and in the back there was a door. Not just any kind of door, it never had a doorknob. It was also outlined in gold. Chelsea drew a figure looking straight at her. It was a girl. She had long blonde hair and sea foam eyes. She wore a school uniform and a pair of white shoes. The only thing wrong with her was the fact that she was transparent. You could see straight through her but could still she the color of her clothes, skin, hair, and eyes. Chelsea didn't realize until she was done that she had drawn herself. She smiled down at her work and pulled the page back.
The last drawing that she did was her room but something was also different. The only people in her room were Roxas and Sora. Chelsea herself was no where to be seen and it looked like the boys were looking for her.
The pencil fell on the bed. Chelsea looked down at her hand and her eyes widened. Her hand was gone. She looked all over her body to find herself disappearing. Chelsea took in a deep breath as she fully disappeared and her room was empty.
The notebook she was drawing in had turned to the page of Roxas and Sora in her empty room.
Lunch time: sneaking out the gates
Sora shushed his brother from making any sounds while they walked through the halls. Right now they were trying to get out of the school and to the gates. Roxas looked behind him to make sure no one had seen them.
Finally they made it outside and now had to get to the gates quickly. Both boys ran as fast as they could but a voice stopped them.
"Where do you think you two are going?"
They sighed and turned to find, Nora, their lunch lady looking at them with a frown on her face. In her hands were three bags full of food. Sora and Roxas smiled at her and walked up to her.
"You were gonna go without taking food with you?" she asked, her eyebrow raised.
They smiled sheepishly at her and grabbed the bags. She shooed them off and both of them ran off to Chelsea's house.
Chelsea's Place
The twins unlocked the door with their key they owned. Entering the house, they noticed the awkward silence. Sora went outside while Roxas looked over the house. Sora came in and shook his head.
"Maybe she's in her room." he suggested.
Roxas looked at his brother. "One problem. Where's her room?"
Sora chuckled and scratched his head. See, they had never even seen her room let alone been in there so they didn't know exactly which one was her room.
They walked around the house until they came across a closed door. Knocking first, they didn't get an answer so they opened it up. Inside was a large bed and a large dresser. Her whole room was red, white and black. On the bed were many pillows and a drawing book.
"This has to be her room." Sora said, pointing at the bear that was on the floor.
Roxas walked inside the room looking around. "Where is she?"
Sora shrugged and walked over to her bed, looking down at the drawing book. He saw a picture of her room with two people that looked surprisingly like them. He flipped through the book, taking in all the pictures, some dark and evil, others pure and light. The one picture that caught his attention was the secret cave. He looked over the girl many times, trying to figure if he was seeing correctly.
Roxas walked up behind him and looked at the pictures over his shoulder. There was the one with him and Sora in her room, the islands caught up in a storm, and the secret cave with Chelsea looking at them.
Both boys looked at each other. A loud thunderclap made them jump in surprise. Outside, the sky turned a dark black and thunder shot out. The wind had gotten bad, trees were blowing down.
Sora and Roxas ran outside and looked out at the island. It was dark and evil looking. The storm was getting worse. They ran down to the docks and got in a boat, slowly making their way to the islands.
To Sora, the island looked exactly like the picture Chelsea had drawn. When they reached the island, they ran around yelling her name, looking for any sign that she was there. A strange light came from the secret cave, drawing both boys to it. Running through the tunnel, they made the end and looked around for her.
"There she is!" Roxas yelled.
Over by the door outlined in gold, she stood, her back facing them. Sora reached out to her and Chelsea turned around. She looked even paler than normal and her eyes lost their shine. She looked up at them and took a step towards them.
"Roxas…Sora…" she said in a weak voice.
Lightning shattered the night and suddenly the wooden door burst open sending wind towards Chelsea pushing her towards the twins.
When she got close enough, Roxas noticed she was transparent. Both Sora and Roxas tried grabbing her, but she went straight through them and out the tunnel.
Both ran out, looking everywhere for their blonde headed friend but there was no sign of her. They ran onto the little island. Lightning hit the sand in front of them making them fall backwards. Their eyes widen at the sight they saw.
In the sand were two key-like swords. One was silver and gold, the other was black and red. They stepped up and Sora grabbed the gold and silver and Roxas grabbed the black and red.
"What are these?" Roxas asked, looking at the blade in his hand.
Sora pointed it up to the sky. "I think it's a key blade."
The sound of shuffling could be heard making both boys turn to see a black creature pop up from the ground.
"What the HELL is THAT?" Sora and Roxas yelled at the same time.
Castle Oblivion
"How is she doing?" a voice asked.
"She's still unconscious. Soon she'll be awake and then we can proceed." another voice said.
"Soon. Soon, she'll awake and we'll create her nobody."
"What will you name her nobody, master?"
"I shall name her…Namine."
