I looked around.

"Now, we find a way out," I answered. "Look for a door!"

I swear we looked for hours but if you are alone with nothing to do, time bends and seems longer than it actually was. After a while, we just gave up.

"I can't find anything. I'm going to use a portal to get out!" Riku proclaimed.

"No, Riku! Don't!" I yelled. His hand fell.

"Mikaila, there's no way out,"

"But, Riku! You promised me you wouldn't use darkness!"

"Okay," Riku gave up.

"Just promise me you will never use darkness!"

Riku nodded. "I promise. To prove it to you, I am going to give you something i found yesterday. I couldn't find the right time." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver necklace with a silver key on it. I could swear it looked exactly like a colorless version of my keyblade. It was beautiful. I hugged him.

"Thank you, Riku." He hugged me back. That moment was perfect.

It was then and there I realized I liked Riku more than a friend. More than a best friend. I loved him. I never wanted that hug to end. Never. I kissed his cheek. He looked away, but I could tell he was blushing. What if he didn't like me back? What if he did?

"You're welcome," Riku finally said.

"Children, I found something that may interest you. Do you know a girl named Kairi?" Maleficent's eerie voice moved through the doorless room. A portal appeared. "I have found her. Come see her,"

I looked at Riku and shook my head. I knew he could tell what i was thinking. He nodded and didn't move.

"Oh? Not coming? I'll force you!"

A portal appeared under my feet and I fell through darkness. "Riku!" I screamed.

Next thing I know, I was in a farmiliar place. The castle in Hollow Bastion. I was in shock and all I could do was scream Riku's name with all of my breath. Maleficent just patted my back and calmly said, "There, there," over and over again. I wanted to hit her put I had nothing to use. The keyblade? Was that it's purpose? A weapon?

I stood up and cried with anger. Anger towards Maleficent, hatred. I took out my keyblade and sliced her.

Bad first fight. I had no experience and hands-down lost. I was knocked out. I woke up in the same spot with my hands tied behind my back and tape over my mouth. All I could do was listen to Maleficent talk and hope someone would rescue me.

"That takes care of one keyblade master but there are 2 more, not counting the king!" Maleficent was talking to someone around the corner. I couldn't see who it was. He had a deep and eerie voice, almost as eerie as Maleficent's.

"I can take that Sora," the voice said.

His name burst through my mind. SORA! First through my mind, then through the door. Sora and two others came rushing in. I wanted to scream and shout I was here. I don't think he realized.

"Let Kairi go, Maleficent!" He shouted.
