Will You Save Me From The Darkness?

Key. 3

"So this is a Gummi Ship..." I said, looking around the cock pit. I sat down in one of the chairs and buckled up just like Sora, Donald and Goofy did. The whole time my eyes were glued to the window looking at all the asteroids and stars as they flew by. The beautiful colors of everything outside the window snapped out of your daze when Goofy spoke up.
"Uh, a big ship is catching up to us."Goofy said looking at the huge ship that was coming up.
"Quit gawking! That's a-" Donald started to scold Goofy but I accidentally interrupted him in excitement. "Pirate Ship!"I finished, eyes widening at how huge the ship was up close. I saw them in books but ships in real life were amazing!

"It's going to ram us, hold on tight!"Sora called out. I opened my mouth to ask what he meant but instead let out a small scream as the Gummi ship was rammed, launching us all fell out of the ship."Oof!" I winced as I fell onto the Pirate ship along with Sora. "Sorry Sora!"I said, pulling myself off of him.

"I didn't think you'd come, Sora." Sora gasped hearing the voice. I recognized the voice also, and looked to see it was the boy I ran into back in Halloween Town. "Good to see you again."He said.
"Where are Donald and Goofy?"Sora asked, determined.
"Are they that important to you? More important than old friends? instead of worrying about them, you should be asking...about her."The boy said, stepping to the side to reveal a girl with short red hair who was laying down...sleeping?

"Kairi!" Sora called out. I looked at the two clueless, feeling out of place. They obviously knew each other, but something was wrong.
"That's right. While you were off goofing around, I finally found her."He said. Sora got up and tried to get to Kairi, but a pirate which looked like the captain blocked the way with his left arm. I saw instead of having a hand, he had a hook.
"Not so fast. No shenanigans aboard my vessel, boy."The hook handed captain said.
Sora and I were surrounded by who we now knew as Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and the Heartless.

"Riku, why are you siding with the Heartless?"Sora said, a hint of betrayal in his voice.
'So Riku is his name, he was different back in Halloween Town.' I thought, looking at all the pirate themed heartless and then back at Riku.
"The Heartless obey me now, Sora. Now I have nothing to fear."Riku said to the now struggling Sora.
"You're stupid. Sooner or later they'll swallow your heart!"Sora retorted.

"Not a chance, my heart's too strong."Riku said smugly.
"Riku..."Sora said. His voice wavering from anger to sadness
"I've picked up a few other tricks as well. Like this, for instance."Riku said
Sora's shadow appeared in front of him, making my eyes widen, he could really control the heartless! "You can go see your friends now."Riku said to Sora.
An invisible hatch opened Sora falling into the darkness. "Sora!" I yelled, leaping out and reaching to grab his hand, but I was grabbed by Captain Hook.

"Hey, let me go! to think you call yourself a Captain!"I screeched, struggling.
"Let's get under way, already. Keep Sora away from Kairi until we're ready to land."Riku said, looking from me to Captain Hook before leaving.
"That scurvy brat thinks he can order me around!"Captain Hook growled furiously.

"What shall we do, Captain Hook?" Smee asked.

"Nothing! The hold is crawling with Heartless. Let them keep an eye on the brats."Captain Hook replied.

"But, Captain, you-know-who is also down-" Mr. Smee was interrupted by Captain Hook bringing his hooked hand up to his mouth.

"Shh... did you hear that, Smee? Oh, that dreadful sound!"Captain hook said.
"No, Captain." Said Smee.
Captain Hook started shaking Smee's shoulders, looking at him in fright."Are you quite sure? Did I imagine it? Oh, my poor nerves..."Hook said walking to his office, dragging me along.

"Put me down!" I thrashed around, trying to to get free from the captains grip but froze once he put his hook up to my throat.

"Shut ye mouth lass, or else your throat won't be so pretty."

I only gulped in response, not daring to move your head seeing how the pointed end of his hook was just about touching my skin. Captain Hook brought me to a door and opened it, throwing me to the ground and leaving, locking the door behind him. I sighed in relief. I looked around the room, searching for a way out before my eyes landed on the girl Kairi, and another girl who I didn't know. She had blonde hair and seemed to be too busy worrying about something to notice you being there. I got up and approached Kairi, who was now sitting up but looking very dazed and emotionless.

I placed my hand on the red heads shoulder, only to see she didn't respond one bit. After a while I gave up trying to escape because something seemed to be wrong with Kairi involving the heartless and the blonde who had introduced herself as Wendy did not want to do anything but wait for some guy named Peter Pan. It seemed it was twenty minutes before the door opened again and Smee came in.

Wendy looked horrified at his appearance and I only snorted."Hey you over there, come with me." I got up seeing he was pointing at me and walked out the door with him. "Don't bother touching me. I do not plan on running since there is no place for me to go." Mr. Smee led me to the captain's quarters, staying quite close to me in case I did try to run away and let me in. I saw Captain Hook and he ordered me to take a seat. I did as he said, not wanting his hook near my throat again.

"Alright lass, I'm going to ask you some questions and you better answer them truthfully."

"Whatever, and my name isn't lass, it's Takara."I said, crossing your arms.

Captain Hook narrowed his eyes at me, and I gulped at my outburst. I shouldn't have said that.

"What is the key boy's weakness?"

I raised an eyebrow.

"H-How should I know? I just met him. Out of all the people in the ship I thought you would ask that Riku person...Seeing how he knows Sora quite a bit."
Riku suddenly came in without warning interrupting Captain Hook.

I watched as Riku approached his desk, stating Wendy wasn't who they needed.

"What? So Wendy's not one of the chosen ones?"Captain Hook said in disbelief.
"There are seven, maybe eight supposedly, and Maleficent says she's not one of them. Hoist anchor as soon as possible. Leave all the dead weight behind, including her."Riku said. I narrowed your eyes. How can he say that about that Wendy girl!
"After the trouble of capturing her? and why those eight, what is Maleficent planning, anyway?"Captain Hook grumbled angrily

"Who knows? As long as it means getting Kairi's heart back, I couldn't care less."Riku replied.
"Humph. You're wasting your time! the Heartless have devoured that girl's heart. I'll stake me other hand it's lost forever."Captain Hook said, disgusted.

"I will find it no matter what."Riku said, glaring at Captain Hook. I sunk in my seat.
"Uh, Captain..." A voice of called out from the Pipe Tubes.

"What?"
"The prisoners have escaped. What's more, Peter Pan is with them." said Smee.
"Blast that Peter Pan! all right, bring the hostages to me cabin, Smee! hop to it!"Captain Hook said.

Captain Hook then moved his attention back to me. "Now Takara-" Captain Hook spat out my name like as if it was poison. "-You better not be lying or else-"

"-Stop harassing her. What she said is true. I witnessed it." Riku said. Captain Hook glared at him. I looked at Riku in surprise. "Fine then, off with ye!" I stood up and headed out. When I stepped out the door someone grabbed me by the shoulder. It was Riku.

"You will be staying with me, so you won't cause trouble." I looked at him for a moment before turning.

"Fine."

I ended up not leaving Captain Hooks cabin. I saw why when Kairi was brought in and I had a feeling things were starting to heat up. I knew Sora was on his way when Riku came back in the cabin and picked up Kairi. Riku walked to the door and gave me a look to follow him. I got up and walked up to him.

What was the point of fighting and going against them?

Riku controlled the Heartless…

"Riku, wait!"Sora yelled.

I looked at Sora and smiled. I went to approach hem but saw that I wasn't moving an inch, like as if I was paralyzed. I couldn't move my legs. I looked at the ground and saw a puddle of darkness going under you and the shadow Sora emerging out of it. I was pulled from the room by Riku even though he was carrying Kairi and arrived on deck. Riku was giving orders to Captain Hook again, and all I could do was follow Riku around before a group of Heartless attacked.

"What-"I gasped. Before I realized I was walking into a portal of darkness.

Looking around in panic I saw there was no way back to the ship at all and all I could see was darkness…

...and small, yellow eyes.

Everywhere.

I saw Riku in the distance and ran to catch up with him before I was left behind in the darkness. When I started to approach him I felt something tugging at my leg. I looked down at my feet to see it was a shadow heartless. Which I knew was the weakest type. It tugged on my pants and I cautiously reached down and rubbed its head.

It was a furry creature alright.

I yelped in surprise when heartless started jumping on me without warning, trying to bring me to the ground. I looked up with the weight of a heartless on my head to see Riku was already disappearing.

"R-Riku." I called. Riku didn't reply, he probably didn't hear me.

"Riku!" I called a little louder. He still didn't hear and I saw he was stepping into another portal. If he does I am doomed! I was about to collapse from the weight of all the heartless jumping on my body.

"Riku!" I screamed as loud as I could before falling to the ground on my face. Placing a palm on the ground and struggling to pull myself up, I looked to see that Riku did hear me and turned around, but by the time he realized the trouble I was in, the portal already closed behind him, Leaving me alone in the darkness.

I winced at all the many heartless that were on my body. The weird thing was they weren't doing anything. They weren't trying to get my heart as it seemed because they weren't slashing at my body or anything. They were just…jumping around on my body. Was this their idea of a game? Did they think I was playing a game with them? I finally sat up, seeing some of the heartless tumble off you and onto the other heartless, and I looked around the darkness and saw some heartless resembling soldiers clapping and doing flips when they jumped. I started hearing many whispers and I blinked, concentrating on the sound. Nothing was here except the Heartless. Is it them? If it was, why can I hear it? I listened as the whispers got louder and clearer as the heartless jumped around you.

Princess! Princess!

Princess? Do they mean me? Why are they calling me a princess…?

Princess Of Darkness!

Princess of Darkness...am I really the princess of darkness that my mother told me about?
