Chapter 2)
I sighed as I walked into the Grey Area, the "living room" of the castle that never was. Saix was waiting for me, his amber eyes ablaze with anger.
"So he finally did it."
"….." All I could do was stare blankly at him while trying not to attack the blue haired man in front of me."How could you disrespect his memory? He was your friend when you had hearts." Was all could say without growling at him. My ear twitched, sensing someone approaching. We both turned towards the newcomer, glancing at each other with hatred.
"It seems we lost the pyro~!" An eye-patched man exclaimed, throwing himself on the white couch facing the duo."Hey darky, why the long face?" Sneered at the Eevee hybrid swinging his arrowgun around.
"….. None of your business, Xigbar" I spat. I turned to leave, but something was telling me to go to one of the hallways off to the side. I looked at the doors lining the hallway. To think it used to be so full of life months earlier. The rooms were numbered from VI (6) to XVI (16). I looked into each one, reminiscing the memories of each person while taking mental snapshot of how each room looked like before I went on to the next. I walked into the last room. My room. There was a picture on the nightstand next to my bed and a box on the bed. I lifted an eyebrow in curiosity and went over to it. There was a letter on the top of it, and I started feeling cautious since there was no possible way anyone could get in there, even by using magical means. I turned towards the box and on the side there was a label with the words PROJECT E in bold letters. I got a weird feeling and shivered involuntarily. I didn't even want to open it anymore, but curiosity got ahold of me. I cautiously opened the lid and there were three feathers on the top of various stacks of papers. One was pure white, the second was pure black, and the last was rather long, with a dark blue hue accenting the black. There was an apple next to them, and I immediately whispered "Dumbapple." I looked around the room confused about how I identified the foreign fruit. I picked up a picture next, there were five people in it. In the center a girl about my age, with green eyes, bangs slightly longer, and two swords strapped to her back. She had a sleeveless purple turtleneck with shoulder pads. Next to her was a man about eighteen, with spiky black hair and a big grin on his face. He had the same "uniform" but one sword strapped on his back. Behind him was an older man, with a black "uniform" and two leathers straps in an "x" across his chest He looked like an older version of the spiky haired man but had his hair slicked back with sideburns. He was more built than the younger male, and had a huge sword strapped to his back. Behind the girl with one hand on her shoulder was a man with silver hair. He had a long leather coat and two straps in an "x" over his bare chest. His shoulder pads were silver, and there was no sword visible. The last was to the girls left, with a red trench coat with black shoulder pad with silver lining along the edges. He had auburn hair, kinda like cinnamon, and held a book in his hand. Again, no sword visible. They all looked happy and relaxed. They appeared to be in a rural area, with some mountains in the background. I felt a pain in my chest and there was something running down my cheek. "I'm….. crying? But, I can't feel… I have no heart…. what's going on?" I dashed out of the room without even paying attention to the box, which I knocked over and its contents, spilled all over the floor. I ran past the grey room, which was currently empty. I looked up and saw the keyblade bearer heading towards Ruin and Creation's Passage. I decided to help him end this and conjured up the invisible walkways for him to cross over. As I headed toward the exit there was a loud roar and I figured he was probably engaging contact with the white dragon Xemnas kept. There seemed to be an infestation of heartless, and I was having slight problems getting through. As I got onto a bridge that seemed to connect the castle with the World that never was, I felt a pain going through my chest I looked down and there was a sword impaled there. I tried to look behind me but I was already fading off. "N-no…. I didn't get to find any of them….."
"Who? You're friends in the organization? They've all moved on, into their new lives. All of them except you, traitor." The assailant said. I could just picture a sneer. Small orb of light seem to appear around me as I disappeared into the darkness.
"So this is what happens to a nobody….. it's not so bad, I guess. Better than how Xemnas will be going." I laughed as I sent a portal for Sora and his friend, Riku to leave along with a little protection spell so they wouldn't encounter anything. Then everything went black.
