Post KH 3 AU where Ventus keeps seeing haunted visions of a figure in a white cloak everywhere he goes.
First he thinks he's just imagining, but when this figure calls out for his name, his body froze in place. This wasn't a dream, let alone a trick from his mind.
And it got worse! Now this figure was appearing everywhere! During his daily training at home, in the middle of a friendly spar he has with Roxas in twilight town, in the realm of darkness while searching for hints of where Sora might be, crap, it even appeared in Disney town when all he wanted was ice cream and relax a little!
Usually, all this figure ever did was stare at him, which was already a reason to be worried about, but sometimes, the figure tried to speak, but no sound ever left it's mouth, only his name.
Even his dreams weren't safe anymore! Every night, his heart was putting him back into a town he's never been before, right close to a fountain. And there was the figure, sitting right on the fountain with... A Chirithy? His Chirithy?!
Every guardian of light could see how tense he has been lately, but no one was able to make him open up about it. The closest someone has gotten to make him talk was Roxas, but just when he was about to, his whole face went pale, because there it was, staring at both of them. It wouldn't attack Roxas, but Ventus didn't know that, so he wouldn't take any risk.
But he wished Roxas could see that. Damnit, he wished anyone could see through his eyes and understand what was going on, but how could they? If he tells them, they'll just call him paranoid, saying he's imagining things wrong. Or they would be worried about his safety all over again, and the last thing he wanted was to be trapped in a castle again.
Would it be even worse if he says that every time he sees it, he feels his heart squeeze? Not from fear like it used to be, but guilt. That when he sees that white figure with their orange hair coming out of the hood, he feels his eyes burn? He feels he knows this person, like he owes something to them... To her... but he didn't know what, or why...
Ventus could only dream about why, the answer wasn't in sight, not yet anyways.
