I don't own kingdom hearts, if I did then Roxas and Namine would have their own story.
Title
Chapter five
The house was just the same on the inside as the outside, plain. The walls were all a crème colored shade and the windows were scattered around the house in various places on the walls. Kairi ran her fingers along the walls of the house. The house that was now theirs. They had never really had their own house now that Kairi thought about it. Sure when she was little and Dad still lived with them they had rented a house out. Then Dad moved out and the rent was to steep for one mom and her daughter. So they had moved into the apartment and it was where Kairi remember most of her childhood.
"Kairi!" Her mother yelled from another room in the, their, house. "You can go up stairs and check out the rooms. The master bedroom is down here so you don't need to worry about accidentally taking that one.
"Alright Mom!" Kairi yelled back. The stairs, Kairi found out, were in the back of the house and were a washed out woodish color. There was a long hallway with doors on each side of it. The doors were all identical and all of them were open. That's probably from the movers or something. Kairi thought. Kairi took cautious steps toward the first room on the right.
There was something about the way the rooms were all open but most of their things were downstairs. Kairi peered around the frame of the door and into the room that lay beyond. The room was your everyday average room. There was a white carpet and a window overlooking the blue green water. The only thing that was the least bit different about the room was that its walls were a pale green color. Otherwise nothing out of the ordinary.
Then it hit her. If the movers were the people who had opened the doors to the rooms why wasn't anything in there? Well she would be lying if she said that there wasn't anything in there. There was only one thing in the room, a small black box. We don't own any boxes like that. Kairi thought. Suddenly Kairi's whole body felt as if she had been shocked. Without a second thought Kairi ran from the room.
With a heavy breathing that she couldn't explain Kairi leaned against the door. Her heart was beating so rapidly at a pace that she couldn't control. Kairi ran into all of the other room on that floor. Each of the rooms had different colored walls and white carpets. The scary paranormal thing was that in each of the rooms there was another black box, each in a different place then the last. Kairi was now so scared and running all over the top floor. They're everywhere! Kairi thought. She felt her back slide down the wall in the hall. Her mind was working at an abnormal speed to find a way to get rid of these things.
Kairi ran into the first room that she had gone into and opened the window of the room she grabbed the strange black box with shaking hands and threw it out the window and into the water below. Watching the strange thing drop and eventually disappear beneath the waves made Kairi feel desperate to get rid of all the other boxes. Kairi vaulted herself away from the window and sprinted to the other rooms. In each room Kairi threw the black boxes into the sea below. When the final box was thrown out the window Kairi's breath was still coming out in short and quick gasps. With all the black boxes gone from the house Kairi began to calm down. What were those things? Kairi thought.
With shaky leg Kairi stood from the floor and began to look around at the rooms in the hall. The rooms were all different in the type of windows they had and the colors of the walls. Kairi walked into the last room on the right and fell in love with it. The room was painted a serene blue color. It made her think of the way that the waves moved and the ocean looked in Destiny Islands. The window overlooked the twilight sky clouded by the orange yellow clouds. Kairi had to admit, the view from Sunset Terrace was really a beautiful sight.
With a small sigh Kairi felt a wave of sleep hit her like a freight train. Stumbling forward onto the off-white mattress lying on the middle of the floor Kairi gave herself over to the sudden drowsiness.
The sound of birds chirping echoed through the forest. Although, the birds didn't compliment the forest at all. This happened to be because the birds were happy carefree creatures and the forest was, well, not. Shadowy gnarled trees created a complex maze of dark twists and sudden dead ends. This wasn't exactly the best place to find oneself in at all.
The soft thump of footsteps could be heard as a small fair haired girl made her way through the tangle of trees that was all to familiar to her. Such a ray of light seemed out of place in such a forgotten neglected forest.
After following the twisted path she knew led out of the forest the girl advanced. She knew that she had no choice but to move forward even though her destination scared her far more than this, or any other forest for that matter, ever could. A light up ahead tol her she was nearing her fears and as the trees parted they were confirmed. An old mansion lay in front of her with a rusted gate and crumpled columns. The mansion was home and home was where she needed to be.
Her small hands wrapped around the key that could unlock the gates and for the smallest of seconds she mused about running away. But, she still put the key in the old lock and the gates still opened with a rusty scream. Her hurried footsteps made quick work of the overgrown area
in front of the house. With fingers as steady as an old man's she opened the great doors. She came upon the carnage in the room facing her and she began to walk across the floor to the old floors until something hit her. Hard.
The breath whooshed out of her in an inelegant screech. The fingers of a man in a dark coat closed around her neck. Her hands found the man's own and attempted to pull them off. Her legs kicked out as if she was underwater and her eyes found the mans terrifying ones. With a wicked grin the man asked
"Remember me?" Of course she did. After all, how could she ever even hope to forget something as horrible as him. "If you don't then that's too bad. You should get it memorized."
One of his hands pulled back, a weapon circling around in it. The girl shut her eyes tight and waited for the fiery impact of the wrenched thing. She dropped to the ground none to gently and heard a cry of rage and something that sounded like a blast of fire. Her eyes opened up and she saw the hooded man now disappearing through the darkness. Yet another hooded man stood in front of her sword drawn and looking at the vanishing darkness. He looked towards her and began to advance until a strong voice halted the movement.
"Be calm Ansem." A figure in red descended the stairs of the mansion and came to a stop in front of the girl. "We wouldn't want our witch to leave us now would we?" Hearing them refer to her in such a way infuriated the girl but she was too overwhelmed at the moment to do anything about it. She silently cursed the man who had just disappeared. If only she could have entered the portal she knew she could have escaped him and ran.
She could have been free.
But now, looking up at the two men before her, she realized she had been left by one evil to find another,
Namine knew that her life was the worst.
