Jessica's Point of View
When I woke up, Luna was there staring at me. "What were you doing? You scared me!" I shouted at Luna.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to stretch my legs, but then Aeleus found me, and I couldn't move in front of him," Luna explained.
"Next time, just tell me before you freak me out. I was worried that something terrible had happened to you," I sighed.
"Okay. From now on, I will let you know if I intend to leave the room," Luna agreed.
Ienzo came running into my room without even bothering to knock. "Jess, you gotta run somewhere far away from the castle! Experiments gone wrong are attacking people!" Ienzo shouted. Suddenly, a tiny black creature with yellow eyes came into the room. I slashed it with my keyblade. It faded within one strike.
"How did you do that? That blade came into your hands out of nowhere and-and-and-" Ienzo stuttered out of shock.
"It's okay, Ienzo. This is normal for me," I said, trying to comfort him. I ran outside my room and followed a trail of the monsters outside of my room, slashing them along the way. One of the monsters got behind me. I turned around, but Ienzo knocked it on the head with a hardcover book.
"I got your back as long as you got mine," Ienzo stated.
"Right," I replied. We fought the Heartless until we reached what appeared to be the lab.
"This is where the Heartless, that's what we're calling the experiment, were created. Dilan, Aeleus, and Braig are taking care of this room. We should probably head to Even and Ansem. They're probably worried about u," Ienzo suggested.
"Lead the way!" I agreed.
We went to the spot where Terra, Aqua, Ven, and I saw each other when we were all in Radiant Gardens. Mr. Even and Mr. Ansem were there. Both of them looked really upset. When they saw us, they ran straight to us. "Ienzo, Jessica, thank goodness the both of you are alright," Mr. Even sighed out of relief.
"Are you both alright?" Mr. Ansem checked.
"Just a little shaken up," Ienzo answered.
"Come on, Ienzo, how can you be shaken up? That was awesome! We fought those Heartless things like they were nothing!" I giggled. I could see Mr. Even breathing deeply and Mr. Ansem rubbing his temples. I frowned as I realized how my excitement would worry them sooner.
"Jessica, please tell me you don't intend to put yourself in danger like that," Mr. Ansem remarked.
"Of course not. I'll avoid danger as much as I can," I promised.
"Did you try to fight them too, Ienzo?" Mr. Ansem wondered.
Ienzo blushed and looked away, clearly embarrassed. "Y-yes, sir." He stuttered.
"What did you use?" Mr. Ansem wondered.
"This book..." Ienzo handed Mr. Ansem the book.
"Interesting. Even, look at this. The cover on this book is metal." Ansem mused.
Mr. Even took the book, no longer looking more curious than upset. "You are very clever, Ienzo. You made use of your ability and chose a book with a metal cover so that your enemy would receive more damage. Well done," Mr. Even praised as he handed the book back to Ienzo.
Ienzo took the book and looked at Mr. Even. "Thank you, Even," He beamed.
Mr. Dilan found and approached us. "Sir, the Heartless have been eliminated," He informed.
"Thank you, Dilan. Ienzo, Jessica, let's go home," Ansem prompted.
"Okay," Ienzo agreed happily.
I wanted to inform Master Yen Sid of the monsters that attacked us. I remembered that Mr. Even said I would be permitted to leave without giving them a clear reason. "Go on without me. There's something I need to do," I said.
"If you must. Stay away from danger," Mr. Ansem sighed. Once they were out of sight, I flew to Master Yen Sid's Tower.
I finally got to introducing Heartless. I'm thinking about doing a few time jumps really soon here just to get to the point. Sorry for taking so long to get this chapter finished. Thank you, FanFictionReader225, for your review.
