The Apprentice

A Familiar Dilemma

A/N Yaaay! Back to the old format! Whee!

Amber 

It was a typical day in the office... One case after another..more patients to scare me half to death... I couldn't WAIT to get out of there... Staying at the country club is actually the best thing a little old Heartless like me can experience 

*timeskip*

Finally done... I eagerly stepped out of the Aether Mental Hospital and soaked up the autumn breeze. Letti squirmed in my bag and bleated. No biggie...probably wanting a snack even though I just fed her. I..for some strange reason...felt like I was being...followed... My antenna twitched and soon... Wait... Something's in that bush.. It jumped out at me and covered my mouth with a clawed hand. I'm being dragged away...again! Somebody...HELP!

*timeskip*

I'm in a dungeon.. Well.. I was stripped to just my bra and slacks... It's so cold... Suddenly...I feel...a sensation in my stomach...it...hurts! I feel my back tearing open and my hands seem like they're breaking... I closed my eyes... When I opened them... I had large..indigo hands..paws..with red claws...and the Heartless logo on the top. I had wings...it looked like a dragon's...or demon's...or a bat's... They were huge...and the same color as my paws... I also had tusk-like fangs and my eyes turned completely red...no pupil...no iris..just red... I'm now... a beast

Ansem

My phone rang...an unknown number... I picked it up... I was not expecting what was on the other end "We've got your Amber...if you want her back...you PAY" I was furious...that voice was so familiar...it can't be! No...it is... That fiend Gretchen Grimlocke... She was the one who tried to kill me...twice. I felt...strange... something's not right... I felt my back split open.. I fell down... I gasped and clawed at the ground. I opened my eyes... I fell back. Where my back split open... there were black and red spikes... My hands had faded to back and have sharp claws... My eyes lost all human qualities... They were a solid orange... I'm...a monster! And those darn spikes torn my favorite dress shirt... Fine..I don't care...I will GET GRETCHEN.. I will SAVE AMBER!
