First Immpressions

When I came to I was in a bright white room. It was very plain, just a bend, nightstand, and dresser. I had to squint to see. The scene outside was dark and I could hear the rain lightly hitting the window. Everything was kind of hazy. I remember thinking, was this heaven?
                And then everything came crashing back. My room, the figure. Glancing down at my body I had to choke back a scream. An organization coat was draped on my body. An organization coat was draped on my body. My hands immediately ran to my chest. As I held it there I realized I was missing something. A heartbeat. My next thoughts were, I have to be dreaming. That’s the only explanation. I can’t be one of those monsters. Besides, weren’t they all dead?
                Then, I heard voices outside the wall? Okay, then, no door.
                “But Superior, you sure? I mean, you know how Max is starting to get.”
                “Yes, we need more members and if she was in Radiant Garden’s Castle she must be one of the restoration committee. That’s bound to come in handy some time.”
                “Of course. Forgive me. So she’s to be number five?”
                “No number six. Five has already been decided we just need to move in and actually have her join.”
                “Do you think she’s awake yet?”
                “Probably, would you mind going and getting her some toast?”
                “No” Silence. Then, there was a noise in the side of the room. Black. A portal. Something I hadn’t seen in nearly a decade. I jumped up.
                Evidentially to fast. I felt lightheaded. And then I went down. Luckily, I hadn’t strayed too far from the bed and landed on it. Groaning, I rolled over to face the figure that was cautiously approaching my bedside. I threw up my hands in defense. I may have only had a few lessons from Tifa, but I could fight if I had to.
                “Whoa, easy there. I’m not going to hurt you.” Said the Black robed person who I had just learned was either a girl or a very feminine guy.
                “Why should I believe you? You’re part of Organization XIII aren’t you?.” I’m glad I sounded so calm because I was freaking out inside.
                “Not exactly. I’m Nexan. Leader of Organization IV. We aim to gain hearts and then destroy Kingdom Hearts. We want to go back to the way we were before..well, this.” She said motioning to her body.
                “And why should I believe you? You’re a nobody.”
                “And so are you now.”
                “What do you mean. I’m just a girl from Radiant Garden.”
                “One of our members, well, she lost a little control. Instead of just fleeing, she may have taken your heart and turned you into one of us.” Nexan stated looking a little bored.
                “What makes you think ill join you. I don’t exactly think highly of anything even remotely linked to Organization XIII.”
                “Join or I will have to kill you myself, here and now.”
                “Then I guess I really don’t have much of a choice but to join you do i?”
                “No. Now, do you know how to fight?”
                “Yes. I have a bow and arrow.”
                “Good now we just need your power 6. But that will come later.”
                “6?”
                “Every member gets a number. It’s also their rank in our organization. You are number 6, Seycax. Right now, we don’t have anyone under you.”
                “Oh.”
                “Do you like to read? Because your first mission will be to organize the mass of books that used to be the library.”
                “I have no problems with that.”
                “You start tomorrow. Xahssa should be coming with toast any minute now, you must be hungry.”
                As if on que a knock on the wall. “Come in Xahssa” a girl with blue hair walked in carrying a plate with blackened toast.
                “Here you are Superior.” She turned to me and gave me what appeared to be a disappointing look. “You must be number VI. I am Xahssa, number II. My power my power is water.”
                “This is the third time I’ve heard powers mentioned. What exactly are they?”
                Nexan was the first to answer, “Well, when people are turned into Nobodies, they get a special power. Mine would be “space” and you already know Xahssa’s.” By this point I was cautiously picking at the toast. It didn’t really look good but, I was hungry. But the next thing Nexan said got my attention, “ In fact, you’re going to need a tour. Xahssa would you be so nice as to give her one?”
                “But Superior. I have a mission.”
                “Give it to Braxyd.”
                “But….yes Superior.” Now I was really getting the feeling that number II didn’t like me. “Are you coming or not?” she stated. Yup. I achieved a new record. Someone hating me within ten minutes. My previous record was two days and a lot more effort.
                “Yeah, just one question….How do I get out of this room?”
                She gave me a look like I was an idiot from another planet. Oh wait, I was. “You teleport.”
                “That would be great if I knew how to teleport.” If she was going to give me attitude, I was going to give her some.
                “TRY using the little bit of Darkness you can manipulate.” She was definantly someone who I didn’t want as an enemy.
                As I tried I felt a tugging at where my heart-I mean, where my heart used to be. And then a portal opened. Xahssa stepped into it without a backward glance. I however, was more cautious. I a stepped through, I was shrouded through darkness. And then I was back in a large white room with a giant bay window. Through it you could see the infamous Kingdom Hearts.
                “Are you ready to start or what?”
                “Yeah, lets go.” Looks like I found my new home. I couldn’t exactly go back to Radiant Garden now. What was weird was the whole tour I felt eyes following me, but as I turned, no one would be there. I figured it was the other members but it still gave me the heebie-jeebies.

  1. I remember the first day you showed up! I was excited and aloof at the same time. Finally new members, was all I could think. But then again, I was worried about where you would fit in everything. I mean, until you came along, it had ALWAYS been us four. Having another member just seemed well... wrong.

  2. That still doesn't give you an excuse to STALK me. At least, not technically...
