Um, yeah, so I was writing this, and I took forever because I couldn't think of what to do with it, so it probably sucks. I MISS WRITING THEM AS KIDS!!

Review!!

Namine's POV

I really won't waste brain waves on sympathizing with myself. Although, being held by a green bat-Heartless isn't very comfortable.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked, looking down at the black-cloaked figure below

"I will tell you when we get there."

"What's the point? If I get there, I'll already know where I am."

Xemnas's POV

…smart mouth. Why does she have to be so irritating?

Namine's POV

"Be a good little captive and shut up before I tell my Heartless to rip you apart." He said venomously. I decided to have a little fun irritating him.

"First off, you wouldn't do that because you spent so much time and effort capturing me. Second, Heartless suck out hearts, they don't rip people apart. Third, you…"

"Bat, make her shut up." The man hissed, looking seriously angry.

The Heartless hissed, and hit my head.

DAMN that freaking hurt!!

That was a hard hit!!

"Well? I may not be willing to murder you…which I could do easily, but I can harm you, it foes not damage my overall purpose of you."

"And what might that purpose be?" I asked daringly

"That purpose is very confidential for me. Mind your life, and I will make sure you live."

And on that pleasing note, I fell silent.

The ride was excruciatingly boring. There were just trees, dirt, trees, bugs, trees, birds, and trees.

"Can I draw?" I asked lazily fingering my sketchbook.

"Shut up."

"I'm bored."

"FINE! Whatever will make you shut up, do it!"

I sighed, and looked pointedly at the Heartless that pinned my arms to my sides.

He looked at me when I didn't take out my sketchbook.

"Oh that's right," He mumbled "Heartless, release the girl's arms."

The bat reluctantly loosened its hold. I drew the boring dark landscape around me, and settled in for a long ride. After all, I thought grimly, you can't tell when something bad is coming until it stares you in the face.

RIGHT BEFORE DAWN

"Stand still." The man said, fixing a red orb on a shelf.

I glared at him, and moved my hands, exhibiting the chains he had put me in.

"I can't move anyway!"

"Oh. Shut up then!" He snapped.

Catching my reflection on the orb, he muttered a few incoherent words, and black energy streamed towards me. I closed my eyes, and felt a sudden cold as the energy hit me. I passed out, and saw no more.

JUST BEFORE DUSK

Ow, my head. OW.

I lifted my hand, a tentatively felt for a bump or bruise, or something that marked the spell he set on me. I mentally filed through what happened,

Orb going black,

Pain,

Unconsciousness

Well, THAT was no help. I had no idea what had just happened.

I was in some sort of garden next to a lake of sorts. A small dark castle was across the lake, and I had a feeling that no matter how peaceful this scene was, it was far from safe.

"So, you woke up?" A deep voice asked, the sound bouncing eerily off of the stone walls around the garden.

"Would I be talking to you if I wasn't awake?" I asked grimly, a smirk on my face

He didn't seem to hear me, and I realized that I hadn't actually made a sound. I turned my head, and noticed that I was on water. Funny, I didn't feel wet. I raised my arm, but felt that I couldn't move it very much, and that I had feathers.

My blood went cold.

As Sora would say,

CRAP!!

He had turned me into a freaking SWAN!!

"You see, it's only when moonlight hits the lake you can change into a human." He said, pointing to the dim glow at the edge of the horizon that marked the setting sun.

I feel so loved.

The moon finally rose, when something really amazing, freaky, weird and needed happened. The water swirled up and around me, turning my feathers into a white dress, my beak into my nose and mouth, and my hair flowing out behind me. The water finally dropped down to its normal state, and I breathed out, and stepped out of the water. I didn't have shoes on, but I really didn't care.

"You see, your transformation is complete. However, I'm afraid that only I can do the counter-curse, and I won't be doing that until you give me your father's kingdom."

He had to be joking.

"You're powerful enough, you do it yourself! Why on earth do you need me?!"

"Well, unfortunately, I have to do this legally, because it is annoyingly…er, annoying that people are constantly trying to restore the rightful heir to the throne, so you have to marry me." I was going to kill him.

"Go to hell."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

He left me by the lake, and went to his castle. As soon as he was gone, I cried.

ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER

"The sorcerer's gone mad this time Pence." A voice said, sounding bored

"Yeah, what's she doing here, you think?" another male voice asked, sounding immature, presumably Pence.

"You idiot Pence, what do you think she's doing here? You heard Xemnas, she's here to give him a kingdom."

"Sorry if I don't listen to self-satisfied evil genius speeches on a daily basis. Oh, wait. I DO!" This was followed by a snicker, and an 'OW!' from Pence.

"Who's there?" I called shakily.

A turtle and a frog came out from the reeds behind me. I stared.

"You're animals?" I asked

"You have a brain?" The turtle asked, "Of course we're animals! I'm Cloud, and this idiot next to me is Pence."

"What's your name?" Pence asked

"I'm Namine."

"Pleasure." Cloud said, looking bored, "You're the third human here. And the only one that can talk to us. I assume it's because you just transformed into a swan. Nice swimming by the way. You make Pence look fast."

"Right, whatever. Where am I, and how do I get out of here?" I asked, getting to the point

Cloud looked semi-interested, and he pushed Pence into the water.

"No one knows where we are, funnily enough. And there is no way that you are ever getting out of here in human form. Remember, you're only human during the night, and that's only if you're on the lake when the moon rises. If you aren't, you stay a swan. However, Xemnas might keep you a human if you agree to marry him."

"No way in-" I started hotly, but Cloud silenced me with a look.

"I know, but I figured I'd run it by you. Some people are desperate enough to do that."

I shrugged.

"So I'll have to wait it out?" I asked, pulling out my sketchbook and flipping through the pictures. Cloud nodded

"I suppose so. If you have anyone looking for you, it's impossible to find you. They'll assume you died within a month."

My heart tightened as I thought of Riku. He couldn't give up, could he?

"No," I said aloud, "They'll keep working to find me."

Cloud appraised me,

"You might be right, Princess."

I looked shocked. How did he know?

"How did you know I was a princess?" I asked disbelievingly, "I don't think I mentioned it…" He scoffed,

"It is all too obvious, from your manner, although most princesses that I've met are considerably shallower and less interesting to talk to than you. I usually walk away before this."

I raised an eyebrow,

"There have been other princesses?" I asked,

"No. I used to be human, as a magician, but Xemnas didn't like me, and he turned me into a turtle. I must say, this is a permanent form, but I prefer it. There isn't as much hurry and problems and such. I met princesses in my travels."

I nodded, and addressed Pence, who had been quiet.

"What about you Pence?"

"Well, I'm a natural frog, but I believe I will be human one day."

Cloud snorted, and Pence looked haughtily at him.

"Well, I'm going to draw." I announced, and I drew the scene around me, reflecting my mood in the dark picture.

Why did he have to make me be a SWAN??

I made Cloud a transformed magician because I wanted to. Deal with it, he might come in handy. Also, do you think I should bring Kairi back in somehow, or leave her out? Review with your answer!!

Thank you!
