Chapter 1: The Slaughter
I feel heavy, but I’m not cold anymore. It’s warm in here. Where ever here is… My eyes are closed but I can still see. Who is he? It’s dark out, I can picture the surroundings in my head. There are dark buildings outside and nobody’s around. Why is he dressed so oddly? How do I know it’s even a boy? Something just tells me so. Everything blacks out for a second then the weight on my body is gone. Just like that. What had happenned? Why am I here? Who is this boy watching over me? Where is this place?
A millions questions run through my head and I finally come to. I open my eyes I think I could see better with my eyes closed. Everything is a blur, I’m on a hard bed in a badly lighted room and a black figure in a trenchcoat watches over me. I just blink my eyes in an attempt to clear my sight. He knows I’m awake but stays silent. Somethings not right… This isn’t home, he isn’t someone I know—I remember now.
“Emerald wake up! We have to get out of here!” my brother’s voice calls out from the dark. He pulls me out of bed, I can hear them now. The pained cries of the other inhabitants of my town.
“Cain what’s happening? What’s outside?” I ask, my voice shaking. He heard me but he can’t explain, he curses under his breath and picks up the basball bat. A swarm of black creatures crawl into my room from the window. Cain blindly swings the bat at it hardly hitting it at all. There’s a soft thump but more keep crawling through. Oh my god, they’re appearing from the ground!
“Shit! How many are there!?” Cain’s loosing his patience. He kicks them off his leg, grabs me by my wrist and pulls me out the house. The city street is covered in corpses and the black creatures. No. Mom and dad are lying on the sidewalk, dead. Cain clenches his teeth and pulls me through the street I see no other signs of life. My mind is not present, my brother comes to a halt and I snap back to the horrifying nightmare called Reality. A dead-end.
“Cain…” I know the creatures are right behind us. I gulp and turn around and at that exact moment they jump towards us. Within seconds I’m tied to the ground by these things, I can hardly see but Cain’s limp body is right infront of me, not you too… I’m going to die, just like everybody else… There’s a gust of wind and the monster’s are blown off me. I open my eyes see a figure dressed in a black trench coat with stange weapons. He’s holding two swords that look like keys, a black one and a white one. Without any notice the air in my lungs seem to be pulled out in a nano-second, and I can’t breathe…
“Thank you… For saving me,” I finally managed to say in a quiet voice. “It was you right?” I ask. But what I really wanted to ask was, “What happened to everyone else?”
“I’m sorry… You’re the only one that,” he pauses. “The only one I managed to save by the time I got there…” he trails off.
“Oh,” is all that comes out of me. How heartless I must seem being able to say just “Oh” when he’s told me everyone I know is dead. Heartless… That’s what they were?
“It’s Emerald right?” he asks as he pulls back the hood revealing his face. He seems around my age. He has blond hair that kind of sticks up and cerulean eyes that show no emotion. He isn’t being heartless though, something tells me he doesn’t have a heart. Literally. I feel pity for him and come back to normality. “I heard your brother mutter your name as he…” he didn’t go on. We both understood anyways.
It’s been nearly a week since I’ve stayed in this bed. Roxas, the boy who had saved me from the slaughter, came to check on me every two hours or so. He seems to be pretty busy for a boy living in a town that seems to have no other inhabitants in it. I started to wonder last night, did the same thing happen here? Also, What’s going to happen next for me? I should ask less questions I know but it really worries me…
Roxas explained everything about the heartless to me, they’re supposed to be monsters created out of the darkness in people’s hearts. It’s said that lately they’re corrupting whole worlds instead of just individuals. What shocked me more is that this place, The World That Never Was as Roxas mentionned it, is a completely different WORLD than my own. I thought reality consisted of the planets and the universe but there are worlds that are completely disconnected from my world. Some of these worlds sound very interesting, an underwater world where mermaids live, a world where cards are soldiers serving a queen and so many other interesting ones too! I wonder what Roxas will teach me about today. Cain used to—Oh, Cain…

Where is this place? Who is he? Why am I drifting?
