Chapter 7

The next world was the one I dreaded it was the Enchanted Domain. For two reasons;

1. cause Maleficent's there.

And…

2. Cause she'll tell Ven lies about Terra willingly taking Aurora's heart.

"Hey Allison, you think Terra's on that world?"

I shrugged "Who knows but we'd still go there and help someone right?" I asked.

"Yeah." Ven said I nodded and we both entered the world.

We landed inside the empty castle, its people locked in a deep sleep till it's princess awakens.

"Still no sign of Terra." Ven said as we walked through a hallway. Then we saw a wooden door to our left. "Wanna check it out?" Ven asked

"Okay." I nodded and we opened the heavy doors. I sighed feeling the familiar sensation of loneliness that was in the room on our left was a bed but someone was sleeping on it.

There was Aurora, sleeping like the dead I couldn't feel the light in her heart like with Snow White and Cinderella but that's to be expected thanks to the curse Maleficent placed on her. Ven took a step closer to examine her and see if she was okay but we weren't the only ones in the room.

"Stop, you two get away from her!" Ven and I jumped and turned to see the Flora, Forna, and Merrywhether, looking at us with anger in their eyes.

"Wait! We're really sorry, we didn't mean to just barge in we just wanted to see if she was okay" I said honestly.

"Yeah, it's just; I've never seen anyone so beautiful." Ven said.

"Who are you two?" Flora asked floating to us.

"I'm Ventus, but you can call me Ven."

"I'm Allison, please to meet you." I said politely as Flora circled us, examining us closely.

"Oh you don't seem bad, dears." Forna said finally losing her guarded look. "I'm certain the both of you have pure hearts just like our precious Aurora."

"Especially you dearie." She added looking at me. I tilted my head but shrugged it off.

"But how did she get like this?" I asked looking back at Aurora.

"Long ago Maleficent cursed her. Now she's stolen her heart." Flora said sadly.

"Hm... Well then, why don't we get it back for her?" Ven suggested.

"Yeah, just lead the way." I said nodding.

"That's impossible, dears." Forna said sadly with no hope. "Maleficent's home is at the Forbidden Mountain. It's not safe."

"We're not afraid." Ven pointed out.

"Yeah we can't leave Aurora like this forever. Who knows what'll happen if she doesn't get her heart back soon." I said looking at the fairies pleadingly.

"Please you have to have faith in us we'll get her heart back, I promise!" The fairies thought for a moment, but they knew the had to do something to help Aurora.

"You know, you both are absolutely right." Flora said looking determined. "The Forbidden Mountain is through the forest. Come along- follow us. After all, we wouldn't want the two of you to get lost." The both of us nodded.

We made our way through the castle, fighting the Unversed, and made our way through the forest when got near the end of the forest where a large wall of green and black fire blocked our path.

"Looks like we're stuck." Ven said folding his arms.

"This must be Maleficent's doing." Flora said as I turned to Merryweather.

"Isn't there another way to the mountain?"

"No, this is the only path." Merrywhether said, shaking her head.

"I know." Forna said and tapped her wand on the wall and it broke apart in a shimmering light. "Shall we?"

"Am I the only one who thought that was easy?" I asked as we walked on reaching the base of the Forbidden Mountain. "I mean why did Maleficent put up those barriers in the first place if it was that easy to break them down, is she really that confident about her strength?"

"She must not have expected us to come and retrieve Aurora's heart." Flora said as we climbed up the mountain.

"That's right dear, Maleficent doesn't know anything about love or kindness or the joy of helping others." Forna said as I thought.

"So she's just a witch with no knowledge of feelings?" I said as Merryweather nodded. Once we got to the grounds of the castle Ven and I took care of Maleficent's guards, which were easy to take out. Man even the Unversed are more challenging then these guys no wonder Maleficent doesn't depend on them.

We finally reached another doorway and it was guarded by two of Maleficent's guards.

"Careful, they're Maleficent's."

"Well they ain't guardin' nothing." Ven pointed out.

"Unless she had them guard Aurora's heart right?" I said as Ven. It was the perfect time to attack after all they seem sleepy it'll be a good surprise attack.

"Ten-shun!" Ven called out as we ran at them. "No sleeping on the job!" Soon, a bunch of guards came running in I smirked and gripped OathKeeper.

"Can't have you all slacking off now can we?" I called running towards them.

"That was easy." I said when we quickly defeated all of them "We'd better keep going." Ven nodded and our group made our way into the large hall my chest had that warmth again but it was faint.

At the other end was the Aurora's heart; encased by in green flames as soon as we got in a maze appeared, blocking our path.

"Now how are we supposed to get to the heart?" Ven asked, staring at the walls that stood in our way.

"Easy, just keep going through all exits until we get to Aurora's heart." I said.

In the game, the maze wasn't that bad it's just the portals that where the problem, every time I went through one I felt sick and drained. At the last one I felt dizzy and stumbled then my head went blank I shut my eyes and collapsed I heard the others cry out in surprise as someone picked up my upper body and shook me gently "Hey, Allison wake up!" It was Ven "Allison?"

"It must have been the darkness in those portals" Flora said yet I faintly heard her "It must have been too draining for her" "But why is it affecting her and not us?" Ven asked still holding on to me "Maybe it's because of her heart" Founa said "Her heart?" Ven asked "Why?"

Merryweather answered "Because-" that's when I completely blacked out.

'What am I?'

'What's happening to me?'

'What…is…my…purpose?'

I gasped snapping into focus I breathed heavily where'd that come from?

"Allison, your awake!" Ven exclaimed, lifting my head up I noticed he was carrying me piggyback style I blushed "W-What happened?" I asked as he gently put me down.

"You passed out dearie" Founa said "that darkness must have been too draining for you" I looked at them all "Draining?" I asked "Don't worry about it" Ven assured quickly "We're just glad your okay now."

"Uh, yeah" I said a bit unsure looking ahead I saw that we've already reach Aurora's heart "C'mon let's free her heart" Ven nodded.

Ven summoned Wayward Wind as I summoned OathKeeper sharing a smile we stood sideways back to back and pointed our Keyblades in sync with each other, two beams of light appeared and extinguished the flames, once free the heart quickly flew away to Aurora.

"That should do it." Ven said, I nodded "Yeah" We only walked a few steps when there was this bright light that covered everything when it faded we were no longer in Maleficent's castle instead the scene changed so that we were in the forest with Aurora where she met Prince Philip.

"Don't you remember? We've met before." Philip said to Aurora.

"We... We have?" She asked hesitantly

"Why of course. You said so yourself-once upon a dream."

Okay that's kinda freaky.

"I never thought I would meet you-outside of my dreams, that is." Aurora cooed, leaning her head against his shoulder.

"Who are you? What's your name?" Philip asked, curiously.

"Oh, my name... Why it's..." Then she gasped as if she remembered something. "Oh, oh no, I can't... Goodbye!"

"I must see you!" Philip shouted desperately and Aurora turned to leave.

"I don't know, maybe some day." Aurora gasped, running off reluctant to leave Philip.

"When, tomorrow?"

"Oh no, this evening!" Aurora said excitedly "At the cottage, in the glen." She ran off into the distance

And the memory faded and we were back in the hallway of Maleficent's castle.

"Did you-?"

"Yeah."

"What was that?" Ven asked.

I shrugged "A memory maybe? but it wasn't ours." I said as the fairies walked up to us.

"Aurora's memory, she must have gotten her heart back." Flora said, happily.

"So her dream came true!" Ven said excited as I nodded.

"Yeah she looked really happy in that memory." I said smiling.

"Yes, not long ago." Flora agreed. "Dreams are very strong beliefs. Aurora's led her to her true love."

"I see you both hold strong beliefs too. Don't you, dears?" Forna said looking at Ven and me.

"Yup." Ven said nodded.

"And we'll keep on believing no matter what." I said and the two of us looked at each other and smiled. We'd never give up our dreams easily; not while we have our friends beside us.

"You both also have a strong light." Flora added I blinked.

I do too?

"All right, hurry; we can't stay here!" Merrywhether said looking worried and I agreed but I was worried that I'd pass out again.

"If we'll want to leave quickly then we need to go back to the maze in reverse" I said shaking my head.

"Don't worry, dear. We'll take care of it." Flora said and she and the other fairies turned to the nearest portal. Flicking their wands to send a bit of light at the portal it changed from a blood red to a gold color.

"This way, we can get out faster." Merrywhether pointed out looking pleased.

"Hurry, we have to leave before Maleficent finds us." Flora said, urgently. We nodded and left the hall the fairies sounded like they were terrified of Maleficent but they were brave to have come so far then trouble happened. We just entered the throne room to see a tale figure with horns dressed all in black and holding a staff with a green crystal ball on top and a matching green hand holding it

"Someone has released Princess Aurora's heart." The figure said, not turning to face us. "Tell me, children, was it you?" She said finally turning to face us.

"Maleficent!"

"Only 'cause you stole it in the first place!" Ven shouted.

"Ven don't!" I tried to stop him but it was too late. Ven jumped and made to slash Maleficent but she vanished in green and black flames. I summoned my keyblade and stood back to back with Ven in case she hit us with a surprise attack.

"A keyblade… you must be Ventus." We looked up at the platform where the throne was to see Maleficent staring down at us.

"Huh? How do you know about me and the keyblade?" Ven asked.

She only had a smug look then she looked at me and her smug look grew "But you, Allison on the other hand are different" she said suddenly appearing in front of me I yelped and stepped back how the hell did she know my name?

She leaned down and placed one of her fingers under my chin, tilting my head up she looked at me closely in the eye and I found myself unable to look away.

"Yes, yes you are the one!" she said almost gleefully I swallowed "T-the one?" I repeated she looked at me with mock pity "Oh you poor, poor child you've been kept in the dark haven't you?" She cooed twisting a strand of my hair between her fingers.

I gasped What!?

"Get away from her!" Ven yelled attempting to slash at her again she disappeared in a cloud of black smoke and reappeared near the throne.

"My powers ensure I'd know of the keys to bringing me hearts and of course the Keeper." Maleficent said answering Ven's previous question I blinked Keeper?

"Terra gave me a demonstration of his powers."

"Terra, he was here?" Ven asked, though he was still angry at Maleficent.

"Why, yes. In fact, it was he who stole Princess Aurora's heart."

"Liar!" I yelled "How dare you accuse Terra of doing something like that!" Ven looked just as furious.

"I was asked to leave you both unharmed especially you Princess, but it seems I have no choice!" Maleficent shouted, ready to battle. The fairies, were scared but they also wanted to help, by turning into green, red, and blue balls of light and flew to us in case we needed their help. The green witch suddenly vanished. Quickly turning around, I saw she was behind us, her crystal ball glowing signifying that she was about to cast a spell.

"Protect!" I yelled, a sphere with hexagonal plates appeared around Ven and I just as a bolt of purple lightning hit us but it bounced off the shield harmlessly.

"Wow cool." Ven said staring at the shield I smiled "Thanks Aqua taught me that one." and I was amazed as well the shield looked like the exact one Aqua casted on Terra in the Keyblade Graveyard.

Maleficent vanished before we had a chance to attack appeared in the opposite wall.

"We've got to be careful, Ven. Maleficent seems like no pushover if we aren't it could end badly."

"Right. Then what do we do?"

"Attack head on, but dodge when she's about to cast a spell, I can't keep casting a barrier every time she does." I said jumping at her and managing to land a few blows before dashing off as she aimed more lightning bolts at me. Ven quickly saw my plan and followed we both made a speed tactic we we're evenly matched in speed and were able to distance ourselves between her thunder spells unfortunately Maleficent saw right through our tactic and started attacking us with close range thunder spells making it harder to dodge.

"Argh!" Ven shouted as he was hit with a thunder spell I gasped as he fell on the floor I turned to Maleficent angrily "You'll pay for that!" I shouted as I spoke multicolored lights decorated my body.

I literally levitated on the ground Ven and the fairies looked at me shocked but I paid them no attention I pointed my keyblade at Maleficent "Aurora light!" I yelled, streams of light burst out and headed straight for her, hitting her dead on she staggered and clutched her chest I dropped on the ground and was stunned what did I just do?

"You little wretch, you'll pay for this dearly!" Maleficent shrieked before disappearing and reappearing in the middle of the room. Her staff was raised as a strange aura started the fill the room with a black and green light. Looking over at Ven he was still on the ground hurt "Ven!" I casted a barrier on him and ran to the circle made by the fairies.

"What are you doing?" Ven asked getting up.

"Making sure I don't get caught up in Maleficent's spell, don't worry I'll be fine." I assured seeing the worried look on Ven's face.

"O-Okay…" he said a bit unsure.

I nodded "Thanks Ven" then I turned back and focused on the light thank goodness Master Eraqus helped me with my focusing or else I'd have lost it by now.

And it worked Maleficent's spell missed me, hitting her instead putting her asleep.

"Now's your chance Allison!"

"Right!" I nodded I quickly ran forward and slashed at her making her wake up and she vanished.

The barrier I casted on Ven faded and he ran toward me "Nice one." He commented I smiled but then frowned worriedly "What, about you Ven, are you okay?" I asked he nodded "Yeah I'm fine." I nodded back relived "That's good."

"Where is she?" Ven asked wondering where Maleficent went.

I pointed to a tired Maleficent as she made her way up to her throne. This fight must have really drained her because she was slightly limping and she looked close to falling.

"There's no way Terra would hurt somebody like that!" Ven yelled and I nodded.

"Yeah the Terra that we know would never hurt someone on purpose!" I added.

"Even so, all I did was tempted the darkness in his heart." Maleficent said, that smug look returning to his face. "Once I did that, he agreed so easily. I'm sure your heart would've done the same as well, if your heart wasn't consumed by light."

"Consumed…by…light?" I asked gripping my chest Maleficent just smirked. What does se know about me?

"He did?" Ven seemed to have lost hope even though I knew this was going to happen I still felt sad for my best friend "Terra…"

"Ven, Allison! Don't be fooled!" We looked to see Aqua running to us.

"Aqua!" I was glad and a bit scared to see her. While I'd be happy to see her again I was also scared of being scolded by her I mean c'mon Aqua's scary sometimes just ask Ven and Terra.

"Terra would never do that." Aqua reasoned. "You both know that, as well as I do." Ven cheered up when he heard that.

"Yeah." He said with a nod, I smiled.

"Ahh… the truth can be most cruel, even amongst the closest of friends." I had forgotten for a second that Maleficent was still there. "After all, one never knows the secrets of another's heart. I'm sure you'll agree… Ventus… Allison… Aqua." The three of us glared at the witch but Aqua turned to Ven and me.

"Quit lying would you!? I yelled, angrily. But I couldn't help but feel confused inside I knew that Master Xehanort told her about the keyblades and the worlds but what does she know about me?

"The master sent me." Aqua said as Ven and I looked at each other 'not good' I thought. "Ven…Allison…let's go home." She extended a hand out to us but Ven looked sad and I was shocked.

Why do I need to go back? I thought it was just Ven

"But Terra."

"Terra's not ready to leave yet." Ven thought for a minute, probably remembering Vanitas's words before we left. That got me curious, Ven seemed afraid when he said that he'd never see me again like Terra. What could Vanitas have said to Ventus about me to make him act like this?

"Sorry, Aqua." Ven said sadly, I nodded not daring to speak it hurt me to do this but I had no choice. "But I can't go with you and neither can Allsion."

"What?"

"It's just… I have to find Terra before it's too late and I need to going to protect Allison no matter what!" Ven vowed. "C'mon Allison!" And before I knew it Ven grabbed my hand and was dragging me out.

"Ven, Allison!" 'I'm really sorry Aqua' I thought.

"Terra where are you?" Ven asked as we ran out of the castle and off the forbidden mountain. We didn't stop running till we reached the forest.

"Ven, Aqua's right Terra would never do that Maleficent was just lying" I said, his back was to me.

"I know, but I'm still worried."

"Yeah, but what if the Terra we know disappears?" I asked clasping my hands "Don't you dare say that!" Ven snapped shoving me I stumbled falling on my knees letting out a small gasp I looked at Ven wide-eyed then, looked down Ven had a similar expression but it had a bit of horror in it once he realized what he did.

"Allison…." I heard Ven he knelt down and placed a hand on my shoulder I slightly flinched glancing up, I saw a look of hurt pass though his eyes before I looked away again.

"Sorry I probably shouldn't have said that" I muttered getting up Ven opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off "Let's keep going, or we won't never catch up to Terra. I'm pretty sure you guys have a lot to talk about." My back was facing Ven but I could tell he nodded and I quietly got into my armor and waited for Ven to do the same.

"Allison I-" Ven started

"Don't." I said forcefully "it's okay Ven really" I hopped on my glider and we both sped off in silence I couldn't help but think we're falling apart aren't we?

Franklin POV:

'What in the name of Kingdom Hearts did he just say!?' I thought in disbelief okay at first I had a bit of trouble believing that we where somehow in Kingdom Hearts but finding out Allison posses the power of it is unreal that being said I looked at her as was everyone else she seemed to be trembling.

"N-No t-this c-can't I-I can't" she started then she bolted "Allison wait!" I called out trying to grab her but she was too fast and she was soon out of sight "Poor girl it must be hard for her to learn something about this" Areith said sadly "Indeed" Merlin agreed "Well we can't just sit here we've gotta find her!" Sora declared I nodded "Yeah I said, if what Merlin said was true then we need to go now who knows what could happen."

The four of us ran out and started to look for Allison "Hey, Franklin" Sora said "Yeah?" I asked "You think Allison's gonna be okay?" He asked looking worried I smirked "Yeah I'm positive Allison's tough for her age" it's true I think that girl has the strength of Tifa Lockhart in her when she fights.

"How old is she?"

"Huh? Oh she's fifteen and I'm older then her by a month"

"Really? I thought she was fourteen"

I chuckled "Yeah people always say that."

'Allison please be okay.'

My POV:

I ran blindly through Hollow Bastion I knew it was dangerous but I didn't care I was too lost in my thoughts to notice where I was going there was some heartless here and there but I quickly took care of them, finally I stopped looking around I saw that I was in front of the castle where Ansem's study was.

I walked to the ledge and sat down and pulled my legs up to my chest I sighed 'So that's why Ven wanted to protect me' I thought sadly I kept on with my thoughts before I heard a voice from behind me.

"You, okay?" Turning around I saw a spiky haired blonde man mostly dressed in black and had a sliver stud in his ear it was Cloud I opened my mouth then closed it unsure of what to say I sighed , Cloud sat donee next to me "I'm Cloud and you?" He asked "I'm Allison nice to meet you." I said I put my legs down and placed my hands in my pocket.

*Jingle*

'Huh?' Reaching deeper in my pocket I pulled out a familiar charm I gasped my wayfinder I clutched it holding it close to my chest "I thought I lost it" I mumbled "It must be important then" Cloud said I nodded "Yeah."

"So is there something that's bothering you?" I sighed "Well it's… just that I learned that I learned that I have a great power of light inside me that I didn't know I had and because of it this Organization is after me and the heartless will want to take my heart, I-I just don't know what to do!" I cried the last bit out frustratingly Cloud looked at me with understanding "At least you have light I'm steeped in Darkness" he said I shook my head "No don't think like that Cloud but if you do have darkness…"

"What?" He asked I grabbed his hand with both of mines "Then you can have some of my light!" Our hands shone brightly for a bit before fading Cloud looked stunned "I feel warm is this light?" I giggled "Yeah you won't lose your way Cloud" Cloud smiled, he actually smiled! And ruffled my hair "Your really something aren't you?"

Cloud stood up and offered me his hand "Eh?" I tilted my head "Leon said that if I saw a young girl somewhere around here I'm guessing that's you?" I chuckled nervously "Yeah, sorry about that" he chuckled and grabbed my hand I placed my wayfinder in my pocket and got up.

Cloud walked me back to the marketplace we talked a bit before we came to the center "This is it" he said I nodded "Here" he handed me two blue orbs I blinked "What's this for?" I asked "For helping me with my darkness" Cloud answered simply he patted my head before he walked away.

"Hey, Cloud!" I called out "I'll see you again okay, we're friends now got it?" He waved without looking back but I'm pretty sure he was smiling again.

I looked back at the orbs in my hand and watched in amazement as one sunk in my skin I picture of Cloud using Omnislash flashed through I smiled cool I just learned Omnislash! This other orb must be for Franklin I'll give it to him when I see him, 'Provided he doesn't kill me first' I thought in the meantime I bought some potions and ethers with munny I collected soon I heard someone call my name.

"Allison!" I turned to see Franklin and the others running towards me "Don't…do…that" Franklin between pants I chuckled before Donald whacked my in the head with his staff "OW! Donald what the heck?" I asked rubbing my head the others snickered "Don't scare us like that!" He said I blinked then smiled.

"Aww how sweet you we're worried about me weren't you?" I asked Donald jumped "No, no not me!" he protested flapping his wings we all snickered "Sorry I ran off guys I didn't mean too" I apologized "Don't worry about it" Sora assured "With you with us the heartless and Organization will have a tough time getting their hands on you." I smiled I'm glad I have these guys as friends.

Me: Well that's a wrap for now again I need she'll with a new title for this story so suggestions are welcomed :)
