A story that has been rewritten. For all you readers out there who have read the original, this one is going to be a s**t load better.

The 16th Other

Report 0.

I feel closed out, suffocating you could say. Just a 14 year old boy who is lost, and yet alone at the same time, looking for answers. The Superior will soon know and the others are just trying to find me. I can yet only trust two people, XIV and XV. These beings can only look to me as of I look to them. I’ve known them for quite sometime now. XIV is just very serious about things and likes to show off a lot. While young XV is intelligent, yet has a short temper.
I only feel...no, not feel. How could I feel? I may only trust to get away from them. I’d rather not hurt anyone I know about, so I’ll just---

Report I.

Where am I, yet more importantly, who the hell am I? Just lying in an old alleyway not knowing who or where I am. I attempt to get up, but I’m too weak for I feel as though I have no idea what to think. I’m confused and my body is reacting to the ways I’m thinking. I look back and then forth. I only see the dusk sky with the beautiful orange and yellow color of the cloud and sky.
My body lay numb for about an hour, so I attempt again. I slowly move my arms along with my legs and hope for the strength for a stance. I stand on my two feet leaning against the wall of the alley trying to step by step at a time to the streets of this city. I’m still very curious at the city’s ways. Will it be nice, calm, violent, worried, poor? Who knows?
I reach the burning light and hold my hand at the rough edge of the bricks against the wall. I feel dizzy and could only see little of what was around me. I saw three kids near my age and looked very happy and cheerful. One was short and a little round, yet looked nice. Another had a camouflage type outfit. A girl was within the group with the color of mostly orange. I try to speak, but my throat was dry. Instead of walking up and saying hello, I walk up to them looking as though injured and pass out in front of them.
I lay there while crowds around me form. They give me a weird look of curiosity and profound. The group of three look at each other, then back at me who was out cold and couldn’t see or hear a thing.

Report II.

I awake within a room of many boxes and pipe lines. I’m lying upon a worn out couch wrapped up in a blanket. I sit up to look around, until a soft hand gently pushed me back down upon my chest. I look up and see the one girl that was within the group. She smiled upon me.
“You need rest,” She said a little quiet.
I just looked up at her and did as I was told. I laid my head down back on the armrest of the sofa and fell asleep.
I later awoke and saw the others around me talking. I sat up and looked around. They looked over at me.
“Hey, you’re up!” said the one round kid the came up to me with joy.
“Yeah, you’ve been out for awhile,” claimed the cameo clothed kid. “I’m Hayner, and this is Pence and Olette.”
Pence nodded his head along with Olette. I only sat there and looked confused.
“What’s your name?” asked Pence still kneeling by me.
I looked down still quiet, still confused. “My name?”
Hayner, Pence, Olette, and I sat there and talked for a while. They asked me questions like, “Where did you come from?”, “What’s your story?”, or “How did you get here?” I told them I didn’t know and they only story I had was finding myself in the alley. I told them that I would to look around and the insisted to come. I shook my head and told them that I needed no assistance for a tour. They understood, being good friends and let me leave. When I walked out, I bumped into another person. It was a kid with blonde hair and blue eyes. Instead of bumping into me on my shoulder, he walked right through it. I watched him as he entered the domain and turned back to give myself a tour.
I walked around the nice and calm town. To me it seemed hardly familiar, but I let that go. I walked around until I came across a forest. I followed the trail that was only mere dirt. Once I got to roads end, I found myself to the entrance of a mansion. There were gates high up and locked so no one could get in. The mansion looked old and worn out. I climbed the fence to find out on what would be laying on the other side and inside of this old mansion.

Report III.

I approached the mansion with caution to see if anything might attack. I saw nothing. I went up to the front doors and opened them with suspicion. As the doors opened, I was surprised to see no dust fly everywhere. Instead, there were only knocked over furniture. The doors closed on their own as I walked in within the mansion. There was a figurine in the center of the main area. Two stairways in the same formation on the opposite sides of the left and right walls. Two doors were upstairs and downstairs against the same wall of the stairs.
I walked around the main area then went and took the left stairway. I walked up the stairs that were creaky and old and took the left door at the top. When I opened the door slowly, all I saw was light. I poked my head through and saw a white room. A table was in the center of the room and there was artwork everywhere. White rose designs were on the wall, table, and chairs. I closed the door gently and looked around.
The artwork was made of crayon and colored pencil. I examined the artwork thoroughly as if I was very familiar with drawing myself. They looked like as though they were all based o one thing. I walked to the table and sat in the chair. There were crayons, colored pencils, and a pencil that had an eraser at the end, but a light purple color for the lead. There was a sketchbook in the middle crooked. I picked it up and examined the first page. It had a castle on it in a weird formation.
I skimmed through the book of artwork and found more beautiful pieces of art. I got to one that got me the most. It was drawn in a more serious way then just quick crayon. It was a true sketch. It had 2 boys, looking in their teenager years of 14, standing on an ocean. One had long black hair in a long black coat. He was leaning on a tree trunk that was bent in the position of a sideways Z. The other, with short brown hair, wore a black hoodie and baggy black jeans. He also had a pair of glasses on with a type of giant key within his right hand. The boy was just standing there, calm as ever, looking out to the ocean that lay upon that beach.
The one leaning on the tree, was that...me? And for the other boy, he looked very familiar. Do I know him? Who drew these? I heard footsteps pacing towards this room’s door. I was trapped. What do I do now? As I hear the doorknob turn slowly, I stand there with worry.

Report IV.

The door opens slowly as a girl enters the room. She’s looks the age of 15 and has loge blonde hair. On the right side of her shoulder is a part of her hair covering it. She had lovely purple eyes and wore a white dress where the end stopped a little above her knee caps. She also wore a light blue pair of sandals with little flower designs over the top strap.
I was personally frozen for I have invaded into another doings room. With a frozen expression on my face, the girl looks at me with a gasp. We both starred at each other with a pause until she crept closer to me. Me, of course, acting like I was about to get the knock out of me just stood strong as she came closer to me. She examined me up, down, and around and recognized me.
“Xeggr...” She pronounced in a soft and gentle tone.
She smiled at me with glee while I just stood there with fear. I had no idea on what she was talking about. What should I do? Should I run, attack, or just listen?
“It’s ok. It’s nice to see you again.”
“A-again?” I asked finally having the courage to speak.
“Don’t you remember? It’s me, Naminé.”
I stared at her beautiful smile as I was still confused with all of this. I no idea on what or how I knew her or she knew me. So, I answered her question.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know you.”
She had a sad or worried expression on her face. She looked down looking very low and depressed and sat down. “You don’t know who I am?”
“I’m sorry, but no. In fact, I don’t even know who I am.”
A shock came across the girl’s face and saw that only I was speaking the truth. “You don’t? How is that possible?”
“I’m not at all sure. All I know is that I woke up in an alleyway with no information or facts about this place, me, or the people around.”
Naminé noticed was open on the page of the two boys. She looked at it and back at me. She held out the drawing as a signal to take it from her. I did so and looked at the drawing.
“That drawing,” she explained, “Is a picture of you...”
“Of, me? That’s impossible! I’ve never met you!”
Naminé looked desperate to make me understand. “We have met. In a castle with a similar design on the inside of this room her where we are.”
I flipped through the sketchbook and found the picture of that castle that was on the first page.
“You see, that place is called ‘Castle Oblivion’. It was an area of cruel fate. A boy named Sora and his friends came there along their journal. I was within the castle at the highest floor. There were others there as well. They went by the names of Vexen, Lexeaus, Zexion, Axel, Larxene, and Marluxia. Marluxia was the owner of the castle and had me captive.
“You were there as well Xeggr. You all wore the same wardrobe and all apart of the same group.”
“What group?” I asked.
“Organization XIII. You were a back-up to the group and had the same abilities as their leader. You see, they were traitors. They used me for their dirty work. Marluxia tortured me to use me powers on Sora to re-chain his memory with a new one. They just want his power to become even more powerful then their leader. But you...”
“What about me? What did I do?”
“You kept me company. Didn’t torture me, didn’t hurt me at all. You just tried to protect me and I told you some things that I’ll never forget.”
I took the other seat while she was explaining all of this to me. I was across form her while she talked. “What did you tell me?”
“I told you about you true.”
“My, true?”
“Yes, you see-“
Suddenly, and man in red appeared within the room. He stood with his arms around his back standing right next to her. He had a red scarf wrapped around his face so only his right eye and mouth would show. He had a red cape with a black wizards robe type of design. He had a design on the chest of his outfit and was sleeve less.
He turned gracefully and saw me in a seat. “Who is this man?”
“He’s just an old friend who cared for me.”
“Is he a Nobody?”
“Yes...”
“Then he must leave at once!”

Report V.

I was sitting in the chair very determined to find out on what was going on. The old man grabbed Naminé by the wrist and pulled her so he had her in a lock. I was furious that he was doing such a thin to a young girl. I shot up and ran to him.
Then suddenly, and man in a long black coat appeared in front of me. I couldn’t make out his identity for he had his hood up. He held me back and made a dark portal from behind me. I tried my hardest to get past him, but he kept on pushing me.
“Naminé!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.
“Xeggr, it’s ok! I’ll be fine. You will be too. Don’t forget about what we just talked about ok?”
I began to calm as so did the man in front of me. He stopped as of I. I turned and walked with the dark realm that I didn’t know of. The portal closed from behind and now I was in a world of only black and nothing. I saw a beam of light appear in front of me. I couldn’t see a thing and it shined to the brightest it could.
I lay on the outside of the mansion now. I awoke with a terrible headache. I stood up and looked at the gates. The lock was still on them and everything looked the same as it was. Did I just pass out or did all that really happen? I don’t know, so I just turned around and continued on where I needed to go.
As I entered the forest again, I saw an open area. I thought that maybe I could just lay here for the time being until a new day started. I walked over to the large grassy area and I laid down upon the smooth, comfortable grass. I felt very tired and very lazy. The only thing I could think about was that girl I saw. Naminé was her name and that name was something I would never forget.
I fell asleep after awhile later and it felt wonderful. I heard some noise from in front of me and saw the boy from before running on the path. It was the one kid with blonde hair. I sat up and saw him follow a white figure that was in front of him. The creature looked very mysterious and had and unusual design for a body. His mouth was a zipper and had a weird stance as it stood. It had a symbol on his head that looked very mysterious. As I saw them both run, I laid back down to continue my rest.
