Hey there everybody, SunlightShadow here! First of all, thank you for even bothering to click on this story and take the time to check it out, it means a lot. This is my first story here on the website, so sorry if my story is a bit odd as I get used to the site. Reviews, positive or not-so-positive are always welcome, my only request being that if you tell me something that you dislike about my story, I'd like a reason on how I could fix it and/or improve the story as a whole. A quick little thing that will come into play throughout this story is:
Italics are the thoughts of the person whose POV it is.
Bold is the thoughts of a character who you will meet soon, her thoughts are ALWAYS in bold.
Bold AND italics are the thoughts of other people when I'm not writing from their POV.
All right, read on, and I hope you like it!
The quiet sound of a portal from the dark opening was heard only by the girl who came through it. She glanced around the island, her eyes lingering on the silhouettes of three teenagers who were lounging on a smaller island connected to the larger one she was standing on by a wooden bridge. From what she could tell there were two boys and a girl. Her eyes momentarily flashed a different color but, thanks to the sunset, she could see no better than before. Even their voices had faded somewhere in the space between her and the three strangers. She did a quick 360 and took in every part of the island that she could see. Her gaze rested again on the three teenagers, watching them closely.
Its beautiful here…how nauseating.
Just one of the many reasons we can't stay. The beauty that is, not the condition of your stomach. Do you even have a stomach?
How the hell should I know? If I do it's completely pointless- I don't eat.
You're bizarre.
I am you.
Yeah, I know you are. You've made sure my life suck ever since you came into it!
Inadvertently.
Details, details. The point is I'm sick of it.
So what are you going to do about it?
I can't do anything about it.
Exactly. So you should learn to love it…whatever love is. You beings of light like love right?
Yeah, we do. Not that I've ever experienced it.
Not my fault.
This mental conversation continued between the two in the girl's mind. She wasn't insane. She wasn't alone either. There was always someone there, inside her mind, occasionally taking a form of their own. Making her invincible at a price.
Wow do I even remember what it was like to be me and not us…..
Hey snap out of it! Two of them are coming NOW!
Shit….
We need a shadow.
If you could turn to your left please! Thank you for playing Find a Shadow!
Oh shut up.
The girl quickly walked over to where a long shadow had settled on the ground, made by a few bushes. The girl quickly stepped into the shadow, the sun now hidden from view. She closed her eyes and became still. The darkness embraced her and she was soon invisible. She listened as the boy and the girl walked by. Once they were past her she opened her eyes, now the only visible part of her. The boy had spiky brunette hair and the girl had auburn hair that went down to her shoulders. They were walking close together, there hands occasionally bumping but never grabbing on to the other. There auras were so bright it was painful for her to be so close to them while in the form she was in.
Oh I'm gonna throw up.
You can't throw up- you don't eat.
I can sure as hell still try though.
Good luck with that. Just stay away from me when you do attempt that.
The two stopped at a small wooden dock with three small boats tied to it.
"Here Kairi, do you want me to push your boat off so you can get going easier? The spiky haired boy asked.
"Sora its fine! Just because I didn't save the world twice doesn't mean I can't row my own boat to our island!" Kairi said.
"Ok ok, just trying to help." Sra said, holding his hands up in a surrendering motion.
"I know you are Sora." Kairi said with a sigh.
The two both got into their boats and Kairi took one last glance towards the smaller island where the boy was still sitting.
Just leave already dammit!
I second that.
"Are you sure he will be ok?"
"Yeah, just give him some time alone to think things through."
"Ok." Kairi said uncertainly.
With that the two pushed off the dock and rowed away from the island. The girl stayed still until they were out of sight.
Finally! God that hurt!
It isn't normal for one person to be that filled with light. Let alone two!
Your world is fading.
Thanks to those idiots who screwed with Kingdom Hearts. TWICE I might add!
I can't say I disagree with them. I would've been in trouble if the heartless population had gotten any bigger.
You would've been fine with me.
You do have your limits you know.
So you say.
The girl lingered there until night came and the full moon rose up into the sky.
This is my time of night!
Then it must be midnight.
You got it.
The guy still hasn't left. Do you think he fell asleep?
If so can I go scare the crap out of him?
No one deserves that from you.
True.
You know what? I'm gonna go talk to him.
You're insane. I'm not asking. It's a fact.
I haven't talked to someone in two years, 64 days, and 3 hours. And that was only to tell him I was going to kill him if he didn't stop pointing that stupid gun at me. He was an idiot. The gun wasn't even loaded.
You're a very pleasant person. Did you know that?
No
Good cause it ain't true.
Ok here I go!
Shit.
The girl walked silently up to where a small shack stood. She jumped up and grabbed the roof before flipping up the rest of the way, landing on the roof in a crouching position. She stood up and silently walked across the wooden bridge, her footsteps making no noise as she crossed. She stopped where the bridge ended and observed the guy again. Her eyes flashed a different color again and she was finally able to see what she had been looking for.
Finally! The night is so much better than the day.
He's just staring…at the moon.
Do you think he likes night too? Uh-oh, I think I might be in love, oh wait! I CAN'T love. Phew! I'm safe.
You're messed up.
From what the girl could tell, thanks to her improved eyesight, was that he had silver hair, and was wearing jeans, black shoes, a yellow jacket, and a black jacket on. She could also tell his aura was a much darker aura than the other two. She could see darkness inside of him but what really surprised her was that it had a form. She looked harder, squinting with concentration. The guy was the wielder of a blade!
Impressive.
Do you know that blade?
I know ALL the blades. Given they involve darkness. Then there's that damn keyblade. I hate that thing.
Are you just trying to piss me off?
Is it working?
Just tell me the name of the freaking blade.
It's called Road to the Dawn. It's a blade made for one person per generation, like the keyblade, and is used by those who can control the power of darkness and use it to fight for the light.
I like him already.
Well I'm starting to like him less. Fighting for the light. Stupid.
You fight for the light!
That's only because you do. And I am you so I fight for the light by default.
Whatever. I think I will go talk to him.
And if pulls his blade on you.
I'll kick his ass. Just like I do whenever anyone else tries to hurt me. I think its reflex.
And you say I'm messed up.
Your right, I do. Well here goes nothing.
Literally.
With that girl stepped off the bridge and onto the small island. The boy looked up, sensing her presence.
He still hasn't seen you. Me. Us. Whatever. Let's go NOW!
She ignored the voice in her head.
"Hello. My name's Lauren. And you are?"
Oh shit we're screwed.
