Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. I've been busing with this and other projects.

I don't own Kingdom Hearts or the Grimm fairy tales

Hansel and Gretel

Two teens quietly made their way through the woods. Stopping to catch their one of the teens, a boy with silver hair, looked at his surroundings.

"We're lost, aren't we." Said his companion; a girl with short black hair.

"Don't worry Cookie. I'll find the way back to the campsite. We can't be too far now." He looked at their surroundings. Xion blushed at the nickname.

"Riku, we've been walking for hours and it's getting dark out."

"Not afraid of the dark are you?" he teased her with a charming grin. She blushed and turned away.

"O-of course not." She shivered and rubbed her arms.

"Here" Riku stripped off his jacket and handed it to her. "Come on, I think the campsite is this way." He led her further into the woods and stopped in front of a small cottage. "That's weird. Maybe they have a phone we can use."

"And who will you call? My parent's think I'm at Kairi's house for a sleepover, and your parent's, I've never even seen them before." Riku stiffened.

"My folks don't care where I am or what I'm doing." Riku walked towards the cottage leaving Xion to her thoughts. Now that she thought about it, she never saw Riku's parent's, even when he had moved in across the street three weeks ago. What had possessed her to take a wild weekend in the woods with him?

"Hey Cookie!" Riku called out to her. He had knocked on the door and a tall blond woman had answered. Her hair was short and combed back, except for two antenna like parts that stuck up from her head. Xion hurried over to them.

"Well what do we have here? A teenage boy and a teenage girl roaming the woods at night? Nothing suspicious going on here! Sounds like the start of a scary movie doesn't it?" the woman then gave a frightening laugh unsettling the two teens. "Names Larxene." She smirked at them happy to see their scared reactions.

"Um I'm Riku, and this is Xion. Do you have a phone we could use, we left ours at our tent and we can't find our way back." Larxene huffed through her nose as if she was agitated. Xion could've sworn she saw those antennas move.

"Yeah sure, right this way." The woman led them into her home. The place seemed normal enough. Unless you counted the dozen dartboards covering the walls. And the darts that were placed nearly everywhere. And the- was that a voodoo doll? She led them into her kitchen. Despite the gruesome things in her hall, the things in the kitchen were quite lovely. She seemed to have a habit of making gingerbread castles. There was one marked Castle Oblivion, another marked The Palace that Never Was, and a few others as well. "The phone is right through that door, in the living room." She pointed with her thumb to a door on the side of the kitchen.

"Wait here, I'll be right back." Riku told her and made off before she could protest. Xion inspected the castle a little more and then realized she hadn't eaten yet. Her stomach made a huge growling noise and she turned to see Larxene looking at her with an amused look. The older woman laughed when she saw her face turn red.

"Here you go." Larxene pulled out some gingerbread men and gave her some. "The castles are things I sell at fairs, but you can go ahead and eat these. It is dinner time after all." Xion thanked her and begun to eat the little men. She paused when she saw Larxene wasn't eating any.

"Aren't you going to have any?" The woman shook her head.

"My brother already brought dinner home. I'm just waiting for the fireplace to heat up first."

"Oh, I didn't know there was anyone else here." Xion picked up another gingerbread man and yawned. Why was she so sleepy?

"Yeah, we don't look very much alike either." The blonde studied her as Xion yawned again.

"Excuse me; I have no idea why I'm so sleepy." She rubbed her eyes.

"Don't worry about it, just keep eating." Xion picked up another gingerbread man as her mind got hazy. What was going on? Where was Riku?

"Riku?" she called as Larxene began to laugh. "What's so funny? Where's Riku? Riku!" Riku walked back in.

"What's wrong Cookie?" He was holding darts in his hands. These were larger than the ones in the hall.

"I- I don't feel very well. I think we should-" She paused when the two others moved toward her. "I- um." She didn't know what was going on but she felt like she was in trouble, instinct told her to run. So she did. She ran into the hall and tried to find the doorway. The images before her started to blur but she was aware of footsteps behind her, chasing her. In fear she bolted up a staircase she found and closed herself into the first room she could find. The footsteps ran past the door further down the hall. Xion focused on slowing her breathing and making an escape plan.

A window, that's all she needed. She would climb out it make her way back to the river, and follow the current. She didn't know where that would take her but it was better than sitting around her. Her foot collided with something and she paused. Looking down at it she saw it was long and white. On closer inspection, she realized it was a bone. Covering her mouth so that she wouldn't scream, she backed away. Her back then came in contact with something that was very similar to the bone. Turning around slowly she found herself face to face with a skull. And that was it. She screamed, trying to run she tripped over another bone and landed in a pile of skeletons. She shut her eyes as if it would make her disappear. This was all just a bad dream she thought as the door opened and two shadows entered the room.

'Yes this is all just a dream. I'm going to wake up in Kairi's room soon. We're all going to laugh at Olette because Selphie drew a mustache on her for falling asleep first. Kairi's mom is going to call us down for breakfast. My cousin Roxas is going to pick me up and get slapped in the face for trying to steal a kiss from Naminé. Then I'm going to be brought home.'

She opened her eyes and watched as two figures approached her. Yes this was all just a dream. But in a dream, when a dart hits your leg you shouldn't fell it, when flesh is being torn from your body, you shouldn't feel that either.

So why could she feel this?
