Chapter 1
I want to burn him…
"Yes master."
I want to see his clothes melt into his skin so there's no beginning and end with his skin and the cloth that covers him.
"I will return with him master,"
I want his skin to melt…
"I will bring him to you…"
Burnt beyond recognition….
"Dead or alive."
"I will not look kindly if you fail Axel."
"Yes sir, I know sir."
"So don't fail me like the others did."

Day 1.
First day of the holidays… kind of looking forward to it. I've met some friends. They're okay.
What is troubling me though is…. Why can't I remember the past few weeks before holidays started? I mean, it was only school and everyday habit that no-one does remember but normally, you do remember tit-bits, like what you had for dinner a particular night or something. I don't know, maybe I'm just exhausted…
I do actually feel more lethargic lately… or maybe I'm going crazy…
For starters, I am talking to a friggin' book.

"Come on Roxas… It's the holidays, come to the beach with us."
"I'm not up to it today guys, you go ahead."
"We are not going anywhere without you Roxas."
"Well, I've have no choice…"
"No you don't. Now hurry up., summer doesn't last forever."
Roxas surged to his feet and felt a smile work its way onto his face. His three friends looked like five year-olds at Christmas.
"You guys can't love me that much?"
"No we don't love you… but we know if we leave you alone you're likely to break something."
"Very funny Hayner."
"Ice cream's on me guys!" cheered Pence as Roxas locked the gate to their hangout behind them, "seriously?" asked Ollette, a hopeful giggle merging with her words. "Seriously."
"But where did you get the money for them?" Roxas asked, not remembering any time when Pence had earned money. "I was taking some snaps at the town and this guy came up to me. Asked me whether I could let him use my camera."
"You gave it to him." "Yep." "Geez Pence, you're the smartest one out of all of us. What the hell?" exclaimed Hayner.
"No I just didn't give it to him, I said he would have to give me the amount of money I paid for the camera as a backup in case he stole it."
"And he gave you the money." "Yep. Right there and then." "That's a good deal I must admit."
"Yeah but when he was finished he gave me my camera back and when I went to get the money out he said that I could keep it."
The other three frowned.
"What exactly did he take a picture of Pence?" asked Roxas.
"He took a picture of the sandlot."
"Weirdo."
The four had reached the train station.
"You guys go ahead, I'll be right there." Called Roxas as he bent to tie his shoelace.
"Okay, hurry up!" shouted back Ollette.
Roxas felt a small shit in the breeze, as if someone had just run past him. He looked up.
What he saw made him gasp and shut his eyes.
"Nothings there Roxas, just get up." Roxas got to his feet and looked to the corner where it was. It was gone.
He quickly caught up with his friends, trying to hide the small tinges of apprehension and déjvu as he got on the train.

Day 2.
Do you know the feeling of waking and not being sure whether you're still asleep? Yeah, that sounds fucked.
But, its kind of like being woken suddenly from a deep sleep and only being slightly aware of what's happening, then you start to merge your dreams with what you're seeing before you fully wake…
What about the feeling you get when you see something, and you feel like you've seen it before, then you realise you've seen it in a dream… or a nightmare?
I'm not completely sure what I saw, but I know I've never seen it in the flesh before, I've only seen it when I'm asleep. Or maybe it just looked familiar, or something sparked the memory of my dream and it was only like a second-long illusion?
Though… there's nothing near the station that is as red as… that.

I suck. I really should be doing my h/w.
