Angel sat up in the back of the dark tree house, hugging her knees. 'I thought he was different... He seemed so sweet when we met...' She thought to herself. Angel could hear part of the conversation, since the tree house wasn't far from the shore were the argument had first taken place. She buried her face into the blanket. 'Great- now they're all coming here... Riku... You dummy...' She thought to herself, half wishing that she didn't have to talk to him or any of them right now. She just wanted to be alone.. The little shadow creature from the one night crawled in and a blurry figure in a long black dress stepped from the shadows and stood in front of her, holding out a tainted hand. Princess... Come with me and you won't have to deal with anymore heartaches...
Angel looked up at the ghastly figure, her dark green eyes widened. "What're you doing here? How did you find me?!" She Spoke up as she slowly rose to her feet. The woman laughed and stepped foreword, causing the girl to step back.
"I'm warning you... Stay away from me!" She yelled. Riku and the gang were close enough to the tree house to see that Angel was in trouble. Riku began to run. Angel screamed when the woman released dozens of little shadowy beings towards her and the darkness slowly consumed her.
"Angel!" Riku called to the tree house. When the group manged to make it to the tree house, there was no sign of her or the woman- only the shadow beings casting a huge shadow within the tree house.
"What the-?" Sora asked as he came up to the side of the silver haired boy, he almost tripped over the. But Riku caught his upper arm and he rebalanced. The three of them glanced around the inside of the tree house at the shadowy beings once again and Riku began to run back toward the beach.
"Come on!" He called to the others. The others quickly followed after him with the stranger creatures right behind them.
"Wait a minute, where's Angel?!" Kairi yelled as she came to a sudden stop. She had to stop to catch her breath. The boys stopped and looked at Kairi and the giant wave of shadows coming towards her.
"Kairi, run!" Sora and Riku yelled in union. Kairi slowly turned to see what was behind her and she froze with fear filled blue eyes. The giant wave engulfed the red haired girl, just like it had done to Angel... Riku bared a fist before standing in front of Sora and holding out a hand to him.
"Come on, we're both going to be consumed by these things anyway! It doesn't matter where we try to run to!" He said to the brunette. Sora watched the sea of shadowy beings flood towards them.
"What about the girls...?" Sora asked in a shaky voice.
"We'll find them." Riku told the slightly younger. Sora began to reach for his hand as darkness consumed them both. In a flash, Sora was back where the two boys had stood- only Riku had vanished with the darkness. As if he had been rejected. Sora looked around when he heard a voice and saw a key looking weapon in his hands.
Keyblade...
Keyblade...
The voice faded and Sora stared at the keyblade. He looked up at the sea of shadows and turned to run. He didn't know where he was going but he had to find somewhere to hide. Of course, the shadows caught up with him and engulfed him.

Angel awoke in a small town far away from Destiny Islands. She was inside of a shop, actually, where the man who ran the shop was staring at her.
"Hey, kid- you alright?" The man called to her. Angel slowly opened her eyes, then began to fade just as quick.
"Kid!" Cid called to her again. Angel's eyes shot open and she looked around.
"Riku?" Remembering what happened, she looked down at the floor, sad. "Well, I'm not sure who this Riku is... But I'm Cid and you kind of came out nowhere." He said to her. Angel blinked a few times and looked at the man.
"Where am I?" She asked him, as she summoned a staff to her hand. It was a long light blue staff with a clear orb resting on the top of it. Much like an mage would carry. She used the staff to help her to her feet.
"You're in Traverse Town kid." Angel sighed and started to walk towards the counter.
"Have you seen anybody else around here? 'Bout my age?" She asked him curiously. Cid only shook his head.
"Nope. But you're welcome to look around. I'll keep an eye out too." He said to her, smiling. She smiled a little and walked towards the door of the small shop. "Hey kid!" He called to her. Angel blinked and glanced at Cid. "Be careful, somethin' strange is going on in the second district." He said to her.
Angel nodded, then walked out of the small shop to search for her friends. She searched for a least an hour, asking the townspeople if they had seen anything. They all answered with "no's". She hung her head and let her feet guide her to the alley, where she noticed a big yellow shoe.
"Sora?" She asked quietly to herself. Angel slowly lifted her eyes to gaze at the unconscious brunette and couldn't help but smile. Angel knelt next to him and gently shook his shoulder to wake him. Sora slowly came to and looked at her.
"Wha- Angel...?" He asked groggily. She smiled, then slowly rose to her feet, then held a hand out to him. He reached out and took her offered hand and she carefully pulled him to his feet.
"We're not on the island anymore..." She said to him. Sora's eyes widen and he stared at her.
"What? Where are we then?" He asked in a quick nervous gibber. Angel gently took his hand and lead him to Cid's shop.
"I found one of them." She said to the older. Cid chuckled and looked at the two of them. "
Congratz kid." He said to her. She grinned and looked at Sora.
"C'mon, let's go search the rest of the town for Kairi." She said. Sora nodded in agreement and welcomly followed the girl through the first district. When they reached the second district, it wasn't long some of the shadowy creatures appeared before their eyes. Angel called her staff to her hand and stood infront of Sora.
"Hope you know how to fight..." She said to him in a low voice. The key appeared in the hands of Sora and he stared at it with awe.
"Um..sure... Riku and I used to spar. This is kind of the same thing... Right...?" He spoke in an unsure voice. Angel called down lightning to take out the handful of shadows before them. Sora just blinked in surprise.
"Holy cow..." He murmured to himself. Angel simply shook her head and started walking. Sora followed her with haste. They searched the second district, and every time they saw some heartless, they worked together to fight them off. Little did they know that someone was looking for them at the same time that they were looking for their friends. After searching the second and third district, and only finding heartless, they headed back to Cid's shop to see if he had heard anything. Cid looked at the kids and shook his head.
"Nope, sorrys guys." He said to them. Sora hung his head and Angel gently pat him on the back.
"It's okay... We'll keep looking. Maybe we missed a spot?" Angel said to him, trying to cheer up the brunette. Sora nodded lightly and looked at her.
"Yeah." He agreed cheerfully. When the left the shop, Angel went around the corner only for a small hand to cover her mouth. Angel's eyes widen and glanced up at the black haired girl behind.
"Shh..." Said the girl. Angel glared but didn't move. She blinked when she heard footsteps and glanced over in the direction they were coming. The guy was holding a gunblade. That didn't sit well with the girl...
"They'll come at you out of nowhere..and they'll keep coming until you wield the keyblade..." The man spoke. Sora jumped and turned to face the man, holding the keyblade up in a defensive manner.
