Second chapter! :D

A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory...

A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream...

I want to line the pieces up…

Your's…

And mine...

The next thing she knew, she had face planted into a hard sidewalk. She felt her foot twitch as she stood, her suit shimmering away, leaving her original clothes; a blue tunic with a red pouch holding her allowance and small, special items, like her precious golden crescent moon charm or her own silver crown charm, black leggings that go to her knees, and silver-colored comfortable sandals. Her eyes had returned to being their normal blue, and she had helmet hair. She shook her head after standing, causing her hair to fall into her face. She quickly pulled strands of her brown hair behind her ear as she began to walk.

"Where am I…?" she wondered aloud.

"Another world, kid. That's where you are. I think this world is Twilight Town, but I'm not quite sure…" The voice within Skye's head answered.

Twilight Town? She thought. She soon gained the feeling that the voice slapped her.

"Don't repeat me!" the voice scolded her.

Skye vaguely wondered if she was insane.

"Nope." the voice quickly told her, "You're not crazy."

Shrugging slightly, she continued moving. Eventually, though, she found herself surrounded by white beings that moved like a drunkard.

"Summon Void Gear!" the voice ordered nearly immediately. Skye complied, summoning the dark keyblade.

"Tell me… do you have negative emotions? If you do… Dig within them, and within your own power. Unleash my Unversed to assist you."

Skye nodded slightly, digging into all her anger at being younger; being in Sora's shadow at home, despite him doting on her. Her anger when she couldn't go with Sora cause she was too young.

Suddenly, four black-skinned, red eyed, humanoid creatures riding riding a wheelbarrel-like thing appeared around her. She found herself speaking aloud to them, her voice… warped, somehow, to her ears.

"Attack!"

And the creatures obeyed.

"Monotrucker Unversed. Nice job." the voice praised her. She smiled, and joined the fight. The Monotruckers were doing fine, but she somehow knew they'd need her help. Quickly, she and the four Unversed dispatched the white drunkard creatures.

Do you know what those things are? The girl asked the voice.

The voice was silent, as if thinking.

And then…

"Nobodies. Dusks, I think…"

What are Nobodies?

"Bodies left without a heart. Their opposites are the Heartless, hearts without a body."

And Unversed…?

"My creations. Creatures created from negativity."

And… And you?

"...You asked sooner than expected. I am Vanitas-"

I'll call you Van then.

"Van…? Why nickname me?"

Cause you're my friend.

"Friend…?"

Mhm.

Van was silent. Skye chuckled mentally.

"Just keep moving." Van ordered. Skye nodded, and kept moving, the Unversed trailing behind her.

Eventually, she heard a yell and saw someone out of the corner of her eye attempt to attack her with some type of bat. Quickly, one of the Monotruckers protected her, using its pickaxe-like hands to parry the attack.

"Who are you?! What are these creatures?!" exclaimed a blonde haired boy angerly.

"I'm Skye. These are Unversed." Skye said simply, "Who're you?"

"I don't have to tell you!" the boy yelled.

"Its only polite…" Skye's face fell. The boy seemed to frown.

"...Hayner."

Skye's face brightened, "Its nice to meet you, Hayner!"

"To get rid of the Unversed, simply imagine them disappearing back into you." Van advised. Skye did as told, and the Unversed disappeared.

Hayner looked at her, "Aren't you a bit young to be traveling by yourself with those creatures…?" he asked.

"No!" Skye shook her head. Speaking of that… how old-

"Ten."

And there's her answer. She was nine before she woke up on the Play Island Beach… so it had been a year…?

"Yep."

"What're you doing here anyway?"

"Searching for my big brother and our friends. Have you seen my big brother? His name is Sora."

"Wait… Sora? I've seen someone with that name… He took the train a few days ago."

Skye beamed at him, "Thanks for telling me!" she said, "How much do I need for a ticket?"

After getting the info, she rushed off to find the train station, but eventually found someone in a black coat. She found herself walking up, though once the figure noticed her they began to back away, as if she was a scary creature aiming to kill them. The person was tall, their facial features covered by the hood of the coat they had.

"Take their hand." Van instructed. Skye ran to the person, and took their hand before they could react. Her eyes closed quickly, and similar to how her body acted instinctively when she was summoning Void Gear and a Dark Corridor.

She was suddenly enveloped in happiness. She knew that hair anywhere!

"Riku!" She opened her eyes, and smiled at him.

"...Skye. Are you real…?"

"Mhm!"

She then glomped the sixteen year old silver-haired male, smiling all the way. Riku hugged back, his hood falling to reveal tanned skin, golden eyes, and extremely long silver hair.

"Those eyes… Xehanort…" Van's voice was shaky.

No, its Riku!

"Still… how…?"

It doesn't matter, Van-Van!

"How?"

"Van helped me!"

"Van?"

"Mhm!" Skye nodded as Riku stood, one arm holding up the small girl and the other placing his hood back onto his head.

"I see. At least you're safe." Riku seemed extremely relieved. He began to place her onto the ground, but she held onto his coat.

"I wanna go with you. I wanna find Big Brother." Skye said. Riku frowned under his coat.

"But its too dangerous…"

"No its not!" Skye flicked her wrist, and Void Gear appeared. Riku's eyes widened considerably.

"Skye you're… a keyblade wielder?!"

Skye nodded.

"I can help Riku!"

"Ansem. Call me Ansem right now."

"Why…?"

"Cause Sora can't know who I am."
"Kay!"

Skye's skin shimmered until her suit was back, including her helmet, "Then call me Vani!" she exclaimed.

"Vani…?"

Short for Vanitas! Like Van!

Riku just nodded, "Alright, Vani… Let's go."

Skye then summoned a Dark Corridor, much to Riku's surprise, judging by the sound he made. Skye simply bounced into it, and they moved through the darkness to other worlds.

Skye has met up with Riku, and the voice in her head has been named!

I love Vanitas X3
