BTW: The beginning will move kind of fast, cuz well, you'll see...
------ Namine's P.O.V. ------
Prologue/ Summary: I sometimes thought that these voyages around the sea my father made me attend were both boring and pointless. Never have I been further from the truth.
They were horrorfying, yet...exciting and appealed to me in a way that I never dreamed possible before now. But, with this adventure came a price, one that I was not sure I was ready to pay.
------
It was about two weeks into the voyage; we, meaning a few of the nobles and myself, were heading for one of my father's forts on a private island for "vacation." Ever since my father took over the throne and became king I hardly ever saw him, though I knew he had his reasons. Once my mother passed away, well...things happened.
It was in the afternoon, and I was leaning on the edge of the railing, letting the warm sun bathe my skin. It felt good on my exposed back. I was wearing a simple white dress, one with low sleeves that hung loosely on my shoulders, flowing with the wind as I gazed at the sparkling sea.
If there was one thing I liked about the sailing, it was just being on the water. Another gust of wind and I heard something above me. I looked up, my sapphire blue eyes locking with those of a seagull that was staggering in the harsh breeze. I wondered randomly what it was doing so far from shore. My question was answered when the seagull flew closer to the ship and landed next to our captain. I had forgotten he has that bird as a pet.
"Sora!." I called as the captain walked down from the upper deck. Sure, he was young, only a few month's older than myself, but he was an amazing captain, he even dressed decently, despite being a boy. Well, more like despite being Sora.
He was wearing a loose, blue undershirt with a long, dark brown vest and light kaki pants along with matching blue and brown boots. His hair was just as messy as always, he rarely bothered with wearing a hat. Despite all his quirks, he was one of the best captains there were, ranking high in the British Army.
Though no captain could have prevented what were to happen later.
"Namine, how you holding up? Not bored yet, I hope." He teased, he knew how much I hated going on all these trips, but I let it go. He was like a brother to me and we were always getting on each other's nerves.
"I'm great. How much longer, captain?" I asked and he grinned.
"Shouldn't be too much longer, a day more or two. You haven't seen Kairi around have you?" He asked, that was a whole other story altogether, but to sum it up I'll tell you this. Sora for sure has major feelings for my cousin, Kairi.
"Uh, let me think. She should be in our cabin, I'll go check." I told him and then walked of, heading for our private quarters, the only place that was restricted even to our captain.
The vessel we were on was huge, but traveled surprisingly fast for a ship this size. Naturally, it would take me a while to navigate from one side of the ship to the other, but I was in a rush. I had to find Kairi after all. I wasn't going to be cruel and keep Sora waiting.
When I reached the cabin that Kairi and I shared I knocked on the door. She opened it by the second knock, nearly causing me to knock on her head. I laughed. I also noticed that she was only wearing the slip for her dress, she must have just woken up from a nap or had been about to take one.
"Sora's looking for you." I told her and her face brightened. Kairi and I, despite being only cousins, resembled each other a lot. We both had fair skin and sapphire colored eyes with only one major difference, our hair. While Kairi's was shoulder length, straight, and bright burgundy mine was longer with more texture and a pale blonde, shaping my delicate features carefully.
"Already? I thought the party wasn't until seven?" She sighed, though I knew she was flattered.
"It is, but you know Sora." I answered, and she grinned. Every time we made a voyage or a quick trip we would throw a small party to celebrate our safe arrival. It was usually held the night before we would see land, but this time we decided to celebrate early and of coarse, Sora had asked Kairi to be his date. I, on the other hand, would be going alone again, but I guess I didn't mind. Someone had to take responsibility as the only sane one on board.
"Of coarse, would you help with my dress?" Kairi asked and I nodded, walking further into the cabin. I went over and grabbed her dress and handed it to her. It wasn't as simple as mine. The under part of the dress, which only showed through at the bottom, was made from a light and wispy white material. It was covered with a soft pink strapless that tied around the waste with a black bow. Once she slid it on I laced the back up and made sure the bow was secure.
"There you are, you look stunning." I told her and she smile even wider.
Kairi looked at me and then said, "You really think so?. Are yo-"
BOOM!
There was a loud explosion from somewhere near our cabin. The force was great enough to knock us both down and land roughly on the hard, wooden floor. I got up quickly and then helped Kairi, my hands and knees now sore.
"What was that?" She asked, panicked.
"No idea." I answered and inched closer to the door of our cabin. I opened it slowly and peeked out. The scene that was unfolding on the other side of the door paralyzed me, I was too afraid to move.
"What is it?" Kairi asked, though I couldn't answer her. We were under attack.
There had been a huge hole blown through the wall of the hall that separated our cabin and the outside of the ship. I could see everything, though I wish I couldn't. It was horrible. People that I knew, people that I cared about were fighting against strangers that were dressed mostly in black.
Pirates.
Kairi crept closer to the door and looked herself, slamming it shut as soon as she saw what I had. She locked the door and pulled me away, I was still in shock, unable to move.
"N-Namine." She whispered, panicked, her breath starting to come in small gasp. "Snap out of it! W-we have to do something. We can't -" She said, tears were forming in her eyes.
There was a loud bang on the door.
We remained silent, still as ghost until a familiar voice called out, "Kairi! Namine! Stay where you are, do not leave this cabin!"
And then he was gone, back into the fight.
"Sora!" Kairi yelled and started to run for the door, but I stopped her, finally snapping out of my daze, realizing just how serious this was. I sat her on my bed and went around the Cabin, looking for anything that might be even the slightest bit useful, though I knew the search wouldn't help. I ended up standing before my mother's old jewelry box. I opened it and quickly pulled out the bottom, revealing a hidden compartment. I then pulled out a small, leather pouch that was attached to a long, thin silver chain and put it on like a necklace, tucking it in my dress.
Inside of this pouch were my most valued possessions, my mother's white gold, snowflake necklace and matching barrette. She wore them every day before she died, and I refused to risk losing them now.
"Sora..." Kairi whispered again, the tears that were building up were beginning to overflow. I knew she was worried about him, but I didn't know what to do but wait. I had no weapon; I was useless in this state. If only I knew more than a few healing spells. If only I disobeyed my father and still carried my dagger with me.
"Shhh!." I whispered, there was activity now in the hall. Loud bangs and the sounds of clashing metal made me jump each time they grew closer. I clutched onto Kairi's arm, giving her support. I needed to be strong, if not for myself than for her, for the rest of the crew. It made me restless, I hated being so helpless. It wasn't right, I should be protecting them, not the other way around.
As seconds passed and the tension and noise increased I nearly got up, ready to do something, anything, but I never had the chance.
The door burst open in a flash of white light and I was blinded. Everything happened so quickly that by the time I could see again I was already grabbed from behind, forced outside of my cabin, through the hall, and onto the outside deck, feeling dazed. I blinked, trying to clear my head. I felt so confused, dazed; I couldn't think straight.
I struggled against the person that was restraining me, but whoever it was, he or she was strong.
"Let go!" I yelled, and looked for the first time at my surroundings. It appeared that none of the crew was hurt; only restrained with minor injuries. I looked for Sora, and was shocked to see him rested against Kairi, who was now kneeling to support him. He looked like he was drained of all his energy, though I didn't understand how. He didn't appear to be injured. Was it magic?
I managed to get away from the grip of whoever had forced me from my cabin, but fell clumsily into the other. He caught me with firm hands and steadied me. I looked up, surprised at who I was now facing.
"Watch it." He grumbled, a bitter edge to his voice, but it was young, probably the same age as Sora. I backed away quickly and stood by Sora and Kairi, but still took the time to examine him. His hair was shorter than Sora's, blonder, but was still messy and spiked. He was wearing a black tunic with a pale kaki vest and pants with black boots. He had soft blue eyes, despite his rough features and they bore into mine, making me uncomfortable. I staggered, still feeling odd from that explosion earlier. The blond then broke his gaze and focused his attention to something in the opposite direction.
"Xemnas, orders?" The blonde called to a tan man with long, white hair and cold golden eyes wearing all black. He was standing near the helm of our ship, his hands rested gently on the wheel. He looked back at the blond and began walking slowly back towards where I was standing with Sora and Kairi. He looked us over and then went to stand back with the blonde.
"Take the girl, the blonde, leave the others." He said and before I had time to react, someone grabbed me from behind, restraining my arms. Not matter how hard I tried to pull away, it was impossible.
"W-what? Stop! SORA! KAIRI!" I yelled, though I knew the possibilities of escape were low, I wasn't giving up. I continued to struggle and was able to get loose from one, but only to be cornered by the spiky blond from before.
"Do I have to do everything myself?" The blonde asked, sighing.
"Stay away from me." I warned, but he merely smirked.
He took a step towards me; I stepped back, but he was fast. He moved behind me in a blur and had both my arms around my back before I had time to blink. I pulled away, hoping to get lucky just one more time, but my body started to fell heavy. Before I knew it my eyelids were shutting and I was scooped up into the blonds arms. Unable to resist any longer from whatever spell he was using I sank unwillingly into unconsciousness.
