Chapter 4: The Lack of a Past.
When I woke up, I had breakfast in Aura’s house, though I didn’t have much of an appetite. I exited her house and went back to mine.
I sat on my bed and looked around it for the first time in a long time. Simple things: a shelf, a desk, a closet, a bed, posters. A normal room belonging to an abnormal kid.
It was then that I realized that I couldn’t remember ever putting those posters up, or ever buying a sketchbook, or even setting up this bed by the window, like I’d always liked it. I couldn’t recall how I even got to live in this house in the first place.
I began to panic. What the hell? I told myself to think. The farthest back I could remember was just waking up in the very bed I was sitting on. When I tried to remember farther back, an invisible force held me back. I fought it, but I realized that my mind wasn’t going anywhere.
I walked outside. The islands were as calm as ever. But something wasn’t right. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but something was very wrong. That’s when it hit me.
It was too calm. There was nothing but dead silence. Not even a sea breeze coming from the north. The islands showed no sign of life at all.
Do all Nobodies have a life as weird as this?
I ran to my friend Tidus’ house. I barged in without knocking, knowing he wouldn’t mind since I always did that.
“Tidus! Uh…wanna spar?”
No answer.
I searched every room, every corner. Nothing but the furniture just standing there, mocking me.
“What are you looking at?!” I screamed at a chair. Then my face changed as I realized…what was I doing screaming to a chair?
I ran out of there. I barged into every house, hoping for someone to be there, but I somehow knew that I wouldn’t find anybody.
I managed to run all the way to the shoreline. At least the waves still moved. I looked towards the island that was there, and sighed with relief. Sora, Riku, and Kairi were still there. Maybe they’d know where everyone had gone.
I grabbed an old row boat and paddled my way to their island. I must’ve been determined, since I got there in no time. I ran in their direction, hoping for answers.
“Hey, Sora! What---huh?”
Sora continued to talk to Riku and Kairi as if I weren’t even there.
“…Sora?”
No reply.
“Sora, stop joking---arrrgghhh!!!”
A piercing headache ripped into my skull. It probed my mind, withdrawing memories I never knew I had. There was a flash of white light and then I was…well, definitely not on Destiny Islands.
I was in a huge, white, circular room, kinda like an arena. I stood at one end of it, a girl in a black coat stood at the other.
“Begin,” said a voice.
The girl ran at me, saying, “You ready for this?” Strangely, her voice was familiar, but then again I had an odd life.
I moved without will. It looked like my mind was there, but my body was moving on its own accord, as if it were replaying a scene that had happened a long time ago. So I was there, but not there, like in my other memory. But this time I was a part of the action.
The girl wielded two, long, emerald daggers. My subconscious self winced as they came close, but the other me knew what to do.
As the daggers closed in, a long sword appeared out of nowhere in my hands. It was a sky blue color, with a ruby in the cross-guard. It deflected them, though not without some trouble.
“Damn, you’re strong!” I said without meaning to.
The girl didn’t respond instead moving in for another thrust. I would’ve blocked it, but she faked me out and hit my legs. She then tackled me, knocking my sword away. I could feel the daggers entering my flesh, but there was no pain. Instead, I punched her in the face, knocking her off.
She moved in relentlessly, attacking with all her might. The daggers again and again ripped through my skin and robes until finally she stabbed in my chest, where my heart would’ve been, but wasn’t.
I could hear steady clapping, and then an impassive voice.
“Very well done. Congratulations, new fourteenth member.”
I felt a hand grab me by the scruff of my neck. He dragged me through the room for what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes. Then we came to an open balcony without any mean of protection from falling.
There was a pit down there. It was glowing with an eerie, bluish light, though it seemed to go on forever.
“You have failed the exam. You should be feeling despair, but cannot, being a Nobody. Therefore, you will be thrown into the Brink of Despair.” And then I was falling, falling into an endless abyss.
It became darker and darker. I plunged deeper, knowing there was no end to this void of shadows. Then, a light and a voice appeared.
Come on, Vix. Are you serious?
Then I was surrounded in light. Then, everything went dark.
I was only blacked out for ten minutes, but it might as well have been ten years. My eyes slowly opened, to see the face of Aura.
“What happened, Vix?”
“I think I blacked out.”
Aura was calm and looked peaceful. “I found you lying on the sand.”
I was about to respond when de ja vu punched me in the face. Didn’t I already live this scene of my life before? Didn’t she already ask me the same exact questions? Didn’t this already happen, right after blacking out after seeing myself at the beach?
I started to panic. Was I going to live the same day over and over for the rest of my life?

Chapter 5: Insanity’s Edge
I had been living the same exact day for three weeks.
For three weeks, I’ve had to live the same exact things. The emptiness of the islands, the way Sora never answered me, and the same memory about that fight. And it always ended with the falling…the terrible feeling of plunging into…well, despair. That’s probably why it’s called the Brink of Despair. But the worst part was I couldn’t do anything to change it. My body acted as a will of its own, constantly replaying the exact movements I had made on that day. It was like a dream, and I wished it was a dream.
And then, like a miracle descending from the heavens, everything changed.
So I was rowing to the islands. Though my body was as eager as I had been on the first day, my mind was a mess. I was bored, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared, and everything else you could think of.
“Hey, Sora! What---huh?”
Sora continued to talk to Riku and Kairi as if I weren’t even there. Like that’s something new.
“…Sora?”
“Huh?”
My mind and body instantly conncected again. I could move and think at the same time. I was so relieved, I almost forgot about Sora.
“Uh…Vix?”
“Oh yeah! What happened to everyone at the mainland?”
Sora looked at Riku and Kairi, a puzzled look on his face. “Mainland?”
“Yeah, you know, where I live over th---what?”
There was no mainland. Just an expanse of blue ocean as far the eye could see. But didn’t I just come from a mainland? That’s when I noticed the boat I had arrived in was gone.
“Are you okay, Vix? There is no mainland. Just this island.”
“But then…how did I get here?”
“Are you joking around?” said Riku. “You’ve been here for a few years already.”
“Huh?” Now I was really confused.
But there was no time for questions, because there was an explosion of pain, and a flash of light.
I was about to prepare for the usual memory of the fight I had been living for three weeks. But I couldn’t prepare, because this memory was different.
It began where the last one left off. I was falling into the Brink of Despair, endlessly falling. The blue mist never lifted. It was an eternal color of blue.
The blue got brighter and brighter as I fell deeper. Soon it was blindingly white instead of an ominous blue. Then, I heard a voice.
Huh, this is the kid? I think maybe you’ve got the wrong guy. You’re sure about this? Fine, fine…
And then darkness.
A few seconds later I was back on the island with Sora, Riku, and and Kairi. I turned around hopefully, but my spirits lowered as I saw that the mainland was gone, along with my home and my friends.
Maybe life would’ve been different if I had won that fight. Maybe if I had been with the Organization, I would have regained my heart.
I was daydreaming again. I had already failed the so-called “exam”.
“Vix? Are you sure you’re alright?” asked Sora.
“Um…yeah.” I looked around at the islands. So peaceful. “Home?”
“Yeah, home,” said Kairi, with a raised eyebrow.
I fell back on the sand, trying to absorb what had happened.
“You miss her, don’t you?” said Sora.
“Who?”
“Aura.”
I sat up abruptly. “Aura? What happened to her?”
Now all three of them were giving me weird looks. “You of all people shouldn’t have forgotten. She died three weeks ago.”
“What?!!” Aura was dead??

dude........that was a total shock.
Sorry I haven’t updated in a while. I got a bit carried away.
-----------------------
Chapter 6: And the World Mocks…
I was…stunned beyond belief. Aura…was dead. No, it couldn’t be true. It was impossible. People don’t just die just like that!
Then I asked the question that I didn’t want to ask. “Just…how did she die?”
Sora was bewildered. “Vix, you’d better get out of the sun---“
“Tell me!”
Sora was surprised once more. “She…just sort of disappeared from existence. There were no traces of her at all, so we assumed she was gone forever…dead.”
I was actually a bit relieved. I kept telling myself she wasn’t dead. Just missing. I’d try and find her, but…
I looked around at the vast, endless sea. It was such a peaceful place. They say the sea reflects the world’s mood. Right now, it was calm, but something wasn’t quite right…
The sea was too still. I didn’t realize it until a few moments later. Everything was still, as if time had frozen. Then, I saw him.
The man in the black coat. I wasn’t sure if it was me or someone else. He raised his had, beckoning me to come with him.
There is so much to learn…so little time…take your time…
Right before I reached him, he faded away in a cloud of flying dust.
“Come back!” I shouted. “There’s no time…I need to know…”
Take your time…
I looked up as I heard the voice again. Take your time? Well, I guess I could do that…what have I got to lose?
And just as quickly as it had stopped, time resumed again. I watched Sora, Riku, and Kairi look at me with concerned faces. I followed them in a shady area and rested. They simply sat on the paopu fruit tree.
Kairi walked back inside after awhile. I was in deep thought, but I was jolted from my thinking as I saw Kairi holding a bottle and running towards Sora and Riku. I couldn’t see well from where I was, but I think there was a piece of paper in the bottle. They read it together, concerned expressions on their faces.
I ran over to them. “What’s going on?” I asked.
“It’s a letter from the King,” said Riku.
The King? I decided not to ask.
“What does it say?” I asked.
“He wants to see us immediately,” replied Sora. “They’re sending Donald and Goofy here with a Gummi ship.”
Donald? Goofy? Gummi ship? Somehow all this was familiar…
“Uh oh,” said Riku, looking at the horizon.
“What?” asked Sora and Kairi.
“They’d better get here soon,” answered Riku as he pointed at the horizon. A big, dark storm loomed in the distance.

It’s short but I like to keep people hanging. I’ll update soon. And yes, this is turning out to be KH3.

keep up the good work :thumbsup:
This getting good keep up the great work.
Pretty interesting. The pacing started off at a crawl, imo; but it seems to be picking up now.
In terms of Grammar/Spelling mistakes, there was only one that crossed my mind.
"The man in the black coat. I wasn’t sure if it was me or someone else. He raised his had, beckoning me to come with him."
I think "had" should be "head".
Also, you don't seem to give much in the sense of descriptive detail. You describe emotion pretty well, but in terms of visual description, there really isn't much to speak of. I don't know if that is what you're going for with this story or not, but it's something I'd work on here.
Keep up the good work!

Actually it should have been "hand". But thanks for pointing that out.
Heh, some of the beginning chapters are from something I wrote long ago and then decided to post here. That was just an old me, but sometimes I still have that habit. My main weak point in writing though is character depth and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
