Description "There is this key...A key in the whole universe...The entire world. There is one person who is chosen to wield this Key. A keyblade. It can do many things that people don't understand and yet when it happens they smile. It makes a different by defeating the darkness...From the world and people's hearts...It's also called light...A girl or boy can wield that power if their heart is strong enough...But it can also switch owners if the chosen's one heart weavers...It can be dangerous-"

"I know! That is why I want one!"

A small girl laid on her mother's lap as she was telling her daughter this story, well maybe a legend in a way. She was looking straight at her mother with her round curious eyes filled with desire. She was smiling from ear to ear. Her mother couldn't help, but laugh a small laugh.

"It isn't funny!"

"I'm sorry sweetie, but when you say it like that, it's hard not to laugh."

"But it isn't! I want to be a keyblade wielder! Just like the story."

Her mother expression softened, almost into a sad somber.

"What is it mother? Every time I say I want to be a wielder you go sad..."

"It's nothing dear. Everything is fine. I didn't mean to worry you."

"Okay! Now tell me about the adventures the wielder can have!"

It pained her to tell her about any of those adventures. She would always start to tell, but then stop in mid-story. For her it was too painful. If her daughter only knew how true these stories were and why her mother knew all about...

"Mommy! Can I hear one? Please?"

"I'm sorry sweetie, but it is time for bed."

"Aw, fine. But soon I'm not going to let you off the hook like that."

"All right sweetie, now close your eyes and sleep."

With a small whine of protest she flopped herself underneath the covers, snuggling briefly on her pillows. She smiled at the sight.

I just hope that she won't have to deal with the key, but with our family luck...She'll have too...

She slowly walked down the stairs as she spotted her husband sitting on the counch with the window open, listening to the ocean. That always seemed to make him relax and sometime her as well, but lately she's been jumpy. She wasn't exactly sure why she was...But she was always jumping at the smallest amount of sounds or things. She walked over as she settled herself onto the counch by her husband. Snuggling onto his arm. The husband moved slightly so that he now had her wrapped.

"She finally go to sleep?"

"Yes..."

"What is it?"

"She is getting more and more eager to have a keyblade..."

"Ah, she's just curious. That is all."

"Do you really believe that?"

"...Yes and no."

"What are we going to do?"

"About what?"

"About Hope."

"Yay, well..."

"That makes two."

She wormed herself out of his arm as she stood by the window. Letting the breeze blow on her face.

Feels good

She extended her hand as a small light appeared in her hands. At first it just stood there, resting in her hand, until it began to form a shape. The shape formed a staff. She gently took it by the hand as she looked at it with sorrow eyes. The husband extended his hand as another small light appeared and that light formed into a keyblade. Even he too looked at it with some sorrow.

"I don't want Hope to have to deal with this kind of burden...It would destroy her completely. Like it almost did to us..."

"I bet it won't..."

"You bet and yet your voice is weaving at that..."

"...We really can't do much, can we? If it is in her blood then...Destiny will catch up to her. One way or another."

"...Which one will she bear? The wielder or the protector? Either one isn't fun..."

"We'll figure it out..."

She sighed. He was right, destiny is destiny. You can't ignore it. No matter how much you want to.. The pain... The burden... The. Suddenly she caught something out of the corner of her eye. At first she was going to dis miss it as being an animal, but something in the way it moved bugged her.

"There is something outside..."

"It's an animal I bet."

"You've been never good at betting dear...It moved strangely...I think. Go check on it."

"All right. You coming after me?"

"Yes. Give me a moment though."

"Protect, huh?"

"Yep."

"All right meet you out in ten."

She nodded as she made her way back upstairs to her daughter's room. There she was sprawled on the bed in the most weirdest position she has ever seen, but she was out cold. She stood an inch near her as she raised her staff, holding it gently above her child's head.

"Protect."

A small glow appeared around for a brief moment, but soon disappeared. The mother smiled.

At least this will protect her for now, until we can figure out what that thing was.

She walked back downstairs as she opened the door to look around. It didn't take her long to find her husband. At first it didn't look like there was a problem. The closer she got her eyes widened. She saw what she had been fearing for ages. There in front of her husband were small trails of heartless appearing. One right after another, in a rhythm.

How did they manage to find a loop hole to get here?

"Watch out!"

She looked over to her left to see a heartless coming right at her. She quickly turned around, dodging it. Steadying her staff she quickly yelled out, "Thunder!" With that the heartless quickly disappeared.

"Where in the world did they come from?"

"Don't know! But we got to take care of them."

"All right."

Meanwhile back at the house a women walked in smiling.

Let's see now...Where is that brat?

She slowly began to walk around, actually taking in the surroundings of the house.

I can't believe that she wants to live in a place like this. So small and empty, but then again-

"Have you found her yet? Or do I have to do all the work again?"

She turned her head slightly looking over her left. There was standing a man with his arms crossed.

"I thought you were taking care of the brat's parents."

"Nope. I got lucky."

"How so?"

"With our appearance, heartless have been coming non-stop. Slowly, but still."

"Really, now?"

"Can we stop with the small talk and get to the brat?"

"All right. Shall we try upstairs then?"

"Fine with me. The sooner we do this job, the sooner we can leave. This place is too quite for my taste."

"Whatever."

With that agreed on they made their way upstairs. It didn't take them that long to figure out which room was the brats. There were only 2 rooms upstairs. The parents and the brat. They smiled as they entered the brat's room.

"You want to do it?"

"Nah, I'm bored. Plus it would be sweeter if the mommy did it, wouldn't you think?"

"How kind of you."

"What can I say?"

"Whatever."

She walked up to the brat's bed as she sat herself down beside her. The move didn't disturb her.

Well, at least she can sleep through anything. That is good. This is going to make it easier.

She extended her hand as a small darkness engulfed it. Rumbling it changed shape. A staff. The women grabbed the staff as she held it above the brat's head, smiling.

"Would you hurry."

"God, so impatient."

"Can't help it if the complete opposite of that calm idiot."

"True. And I can't help being scarstic and like enjoying things, now can I?"

"Whatever."

She returned her attention back to the brat.

"Firgia"

A small burst of fire erupted as it slammed down on the brat, but the woman wasn't expecting what happened next. Instead of hitting the girl, it bounced off blasting the woman instead. This caused her to go flying across the room landing in the corner of the wall. The girl laid there undisturbed. The man roared into laughter.

"SHUT IT!"

"That was classic of you"

"You say something again I'll kill you."

"Whatever."

The woman got back up as she walked back to the kid. She slowly began to inspect every inch of her and the bed. After a while she finally sighed.

"What is it?"

"There seems to be nothing here that could explain what just happened here..."

"Beats me. Just hurry up and finish the job so we can leave. I'm starting to get bored here."

"Yay, yay..."

Suddenly she got an idea. She summoned her staff again, but this time she just held it over the brat. She slowly let her fingers slip as the staff tipped...and fell onto of the brat. There was a slight clink as it bounced back into the woman's hands. The man grinned.

"You should have seen that coming before our arrival."

"...Shut it. At least now we know what we are dealing with here. Now I can finish the job."

Hope can you hear me?

Who is this?

Dear, I need you to do me a favor...

Who-

Please just listen to me. I need you to come to me.

Mommy?

Yes dear. I need you to wake up and come outside with me.

Why?

I can't explain right now, but can you do that for me?

Okay...

Hope eyes flown open as she saw...Mommy...and Daddy...No something was strange...They were-

Hurry!

Hope let out a scream as she flown herself and literally charged out the door running.

"Damn it! Get the brat before she gets to her parents!"

With that they both ran after the brat.

Hope finally slowed down after a good hour of running. She was tired. Once her eyes saw the island they grew big in fright. Everywhere were these creatures. Small, black, with yellow eyes, and pointed ears? People were screaming as a small shine escaped their bodies. She didn't understand what was going on here, but all she knew was that she had to find her parents. Were they in danger as well? Are they being hurt by those creature things? Suddenly she felt herself panic. What was she to do? She was-

Hop, can you hear me?

"Mommy!"

It's okay. You have to be brave for me. Just follow my voice.

Hope nodded. She didn't know where in the world where she was going, but deep down she knew it was safe. She did what she was told. She followed the voice until she found herself on the smaller part of the island. There in the middle were her parents. They were fighting off the creatures with. The keyblade! And a staff! Hope ran to them.

"Mommy!"

Hope's mother turned around in shock as she called out, "Hope! What are you doing here!"

"I'm coming Mommy! You told me to come here!"

"I. Told..."

As soon as Hope was near enough to her mother she grabbed her and pulled her close. Hope clung to her for dear life. Finally the heartless began to disappear and stay gone this time. The mother and father fell to the ground tired.

"Mommy-"

"I'm all right dear. Nothing to worry about."

"Yay."

"Is that the, THE keyblade? And the protector's weapon? The stories-"

"Finally found you brat."

They all turned around to see a mirror image. They were shocked. What was the meaning of this? Were they heartless? What-

"You know. We're basically you guys."

"Just the opposite of the coin really."

"What does that mean?"

"We are you. Just the darker side. Same memories. Same somewhat feelings, if you call it that."

"...Whatever."

With that they all four attacked. The battle didn't last long, since they were exhausted from fighting off the heartless earlier. Hope screamed as she watch them fall to the ground with a slight thud. The other two eyed Hope with curious eyes.

"What are we going to do with this brat?"

"You were the one who choose to finish it..."

"Remember how that worked out?"

"...Fine. I'll do it."

The guy walked forwards as he raised his weapon. Hope whimpered. The guy smiled as he drew down his blade.

"What the hell?"

Hope's mother had managed to jump in the way of the weapon causing her to get the blow of it. A deep wound appeared on her back as blood began to spill.

"MOMMY!"

"...It will be all right dear...I'm not going to leave you alone in this. I refuse."

She slumped back to the ground as she laid still. Soon a small light engulfed her as it began to radiate brighter until they couldn't see her body anymore. All that was there was light. It began to shift and move. Slowly at first, but then rapidly growing in speed. It swirled around a bit and then found it's target. Hope. It slowly danced around her and disappeared inside of her, smiling.

"You'll never be alone, Hope. Remember that."

Just as it had appeared it disappeared. The other two stared at Hope.

"Have a plan now?"

"I don't know what happened here, so how can I have a plan?"

"Beats me."

"Well, what should we do with the brat?"

"Beats me."

"Let's have some fun..."

The woman didn't give Hope a chance to run away. She grabbed her by the collar as she dragged her closer to the water's edge, smiling. The guy followed her with a small smirk. The woman stopped a foot away from the edge as she held Hope over it.

"Really now?"

"Why not? We don't know what happened here. If we kill her here, what would happen? That mother of hers did something. I'm not going to wait here for the after effects if we do something stupid here. Are you?"

"I don't want it on my head."

"Exactly now."

Hope began to struggle, but it was no use. The woman was stronger than she was. What could she do? Everyone and everything was dead on this island. Where could she go from here? Just follow death...She seized struggling as she closed her eyes.

"It looks like this one wants to die now."

"Then hurry up all ready. I'm bored."

"Fine."

With a easy throw Hope fell into the cold icy waters as she allow herself to die...
