Behind Bars
I heard the crash of lightning and the rumble of thunder outside. I sat up quickly. I winced as pain shot through my back from sleeping on the hard cold floor. My breath caught in my throat forcing me to cough. It wasn't a dream? You can't be serious. What about my family? Tears gathered in my eyes and I allowed myself to cry. When I heard the sounds of a portal opening nearby, I stopped. I still had my pride if anything.
The two figures from last night appeared.
"You," I hissed remembering that they were not the dem- er, Heartless.
"So you recognize us," one said quietly. I could tell that he wasn't the leader, the one who dragged me into the darkness.
I looked down and found myself looking at my arms. Underneath the filth, there were light blue markings along them. The marks ran all over my body until stopping right beneath my neck. They were Curse Marks granted upon all of the princesses of my kingdom.
They pulled off their hoods and I was finally able to see their faces. The one who had first spoke had long blue hair, pale skin, and a scar in the shape of an x in between two fierce, golden eyes. The other had tan skin, long silver hair, and orange colored eyes that seemed to stare into me.
I flinched at their gaze and looked away once more. "So what do you want?" I asked so quietly that they probably didn't even hear me…but they did…
"We hope to use you in the future to our advantage, if that time comes. If not, we can always make you a lesser Nobody," the leader said.
I did not care for their terminology. I did not care for anything in this dreadful, dark world.
"What is your name?" the man with the blue hair asked.
If they had any manners they would introduce themselves first. So, with that thought in mind, I stayed quiet.
Seeing this problem, the leader chose to speak. "My name is Xemnas, the Superior of this organization. This is Saix, number seven of Organization XIII."
"So there are thirteen of you guys?" I asked amazed at the information I had just received.
Xemnas nodded.
"Now what is your name?" Saix asked.
"Crystal," I said stiffly, not exactly in the mood to cooperate with this 'Organization XIII'.
"You were the one who forced me into the darkness," I suddenly said with such force that I had a hard time believing that I had just said that.
Saix bowed slightly. It looked mockingly to me. "I am terribly sorry," he said. He didn't sound sorry. Not in the least! What is with these people.
Xemnas opened one of the portals they used.
"W-where are you going?" I asked fearing of being left alone.
"Do not worry. You will have a guard soon enough," Xemnas replied before stepping into the portal with Saix right behind him.
They did not just leave me here!
I sat back down. I had the urge to cry again, but I shook my head. I was not going to cry anymore. I am done crying. The anger I had bottled up inside of me was beginning to make my Curse Marks ache. I could never allow my anger to get a hold of me. So I could only sit there and take deep breaths to calm myself.
After an eternity of waiting, a portal opened in front of me. I jumped in surprise and a slid into the farthest corner into the shadows. Was this Nobody just as vicious and seemingly mean like Xemnas and Saix?
