Insanity and Eternal Torment:

The Thin Divide

He sat on the floor, clutching at his bloodred hair and praying for it all to end.

"Leave me alone..." he murmured uselessly.

Aww, the cold, mocking voice hissed in his ear. You're losing your mind, aren't you?

"Get out of my head..."

Poor child. Foolish, broken little Axel. Look how he cowers there. Alone again...

"Shut up..."

Like always...

"Shut up!"

A slight pause in the torment. Even if I go, you'll still be insane. Am I right?

"Just go away...!"

Am I right, Axel? You'll be even more alone. They've all abandoned you-"Stop it."

-Because you're a monster. You'll never be able to go back to them.

"Stop..."

Even Roxas left you!

"Stop it!!"

It's the truth! Raxorren cried, and Axel fell against the wall, tears falling soundlessly to the floor.

"No," he sobbed.

You cannot deny it.

"You're lying...!"

We both know I'm not.

"Please...stop...!" All he wanted was an end to the pain. His broken arm and the other physical hurts were nothing compared to his crumbling mental state. And his heart...! Oh, if he even had one, how it ached!

No, I don't think I will. I rather enjoy torturing you.

At that point, Axel didn't respond. He had left Raxorren, the "Mind Plague", to listen to his screams of agony. At least until he fainted.

And that, demon, is the only reprieve in your grasp, he heard as his dark world faded to black. I will keep returning, again and again, until you die or come to me.

It was neither a threat nor a warning, but a promise. And Raxorren always kept his promises.

Just sort of a crazyfic drabble thing based on rolePlays with my buddy. Dunno if I'll make it into a full-fledged story or not, but it might be fun...

What do you guys think?

Axel and Roxas belong to Nomura-sensei and co.

Raxorren is mine and Hope's.

...yes...I think I'll make a neato chapterthing out of this...nee? 3
