Breathless Heart

Chapter One

Personal Log: Day 1

"Damn gummi ship. Well, since the visual isn't working, I guess I better tell you a bit about myself. My name is Kendra. No last name. Just Kendra. The only reason I'm even doing this 'personal log' thing is that my gummi ship's broken down somewhere between Traverse Town and Wonderland. God, I can't believe I just said that.

"The only reason none of those stupid Heartless ships haven't seen me or my ship yet is 'cause I'm cloaking the ship with my magic. It takes a hell of a lot out of me. Needless to say, I'm tired.

"Hmm. what else. I was raised in Traverse Town for as long as I can remember. According to Merlin, the wizard who raised me, I was found at about one year old, in the water around his study. He said that I was under the water, breathing perfectly normal, which leads me to believe I was from Atlantica originally. But then, how come I don't have fins or gills?

"You see, that's why I'm out here in the middle of space. I'm out here to find out who I am." Kendra shut off the gummi ship's computer with a sigh, then groaned as the gravity on the ship malfunctioned and she, once again, started drifting upward.

The sixteen-year-old flipped through the air and launched herself down into the engine area, muttering to herself about badly built ships and senile old wizards who gave crappy birthday presents. She caught her reflection on one of the metal panels and glared at it. A girl with bright blue eyes and neck-length auburn hair (that never liked to stay straight) glared back.
She stuck her tongue out at her reflection as a parting shot and opened the panel. Kendra fiddled with a few wires for a couple minutes before the gravity kicked on by itself and Kendra slammed to the floor cursing.

Personal Log: Day 5

"Finally got the gummi ship running, stupid thing. Didn't know I was a mechanic. On my way to Wonderland, God help me. Over and out." Kendra shut off the computer with yet again.

"I hate technology," she muttered as she booted up the gummi ship's engines, then shot off into space, shooting the Heartless ships and cackling as they blew up.

She reached Wonderland quickly and landed in a quiet area of the forest, away from the Queen of Hearts and her like. Merlin had warned her about the Queen and her notorious temper, and judging by his tone, it was almost worse than Kendra's. That's when she noticed that her landing wasn't as smooth as she thought it was: part of the ship was damaged. She swore dreadfully for a few minutes before curiosity finally got hold of her and she decided to explore.

'Who knows,' she thought as she walked around the small red and gold ship, 'Maybe I'll find someone who can fix this hunk of junk.' She gave the ship a sharp kick and wandered around for a bit, a little confused at how things worked there. The plants were all tiny in some places, and in others they were huge!

"HELP MEEEEE!!!!!!" a high-pitched voice shrieked. A strange thing burst through the bushes. It was a weird glowing orb with fairy wings. It dove at Kendra before she had a chance to stop it and flew around her head, breathless.

"Big- walking -pieces-of-paper. Fat - evil- bitch that plays croquet with a BIRD. Freaky man with a weird hat and a scary smile. Some weird cat thing that talks in riddles!!!",the… thing. continued wailing.

"I WANNA GO HOME!!" It continued whining for several minutes before Kendra finally lost her temper. "SHUT UP!!!" she shrieked.

The thing, somehow, looked terrified. "Don't eat me!" it said, alarmed, "I taste bad!"
Kendra sighed. "Okay, okay, calm down little- whatever you are."

The thing puffed up. " I am a FAIRY, and my name is Runa!" Runa was definitely a girl.

Kendra rolled her eyes. "Well, Runa, then. I'm Kendra. And I'm kinda in a hurry. See ya!" She took off for the gummi ship, leaving the fairy behind her. 'That- was WEIRD,' she thought to herself. It was getting hot outside, and hopefully the gummi ship's air conditioning was still working.

Walking inside, she could tell that it was, and was very grateful for it. She grabbed a bottle of water, then froze. Something was inside the ship, and Kendra could sense it. It was coming from the engine area. Quietly, she crept down into the area, and when she saw who it was, she made a vexed sound. It was Runa. The panel that Kendra had used before was open, and Runa was tangled in the wires.

"Umm.. I was looking for food?"
