I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts


Larxene knows the truth about Marluxia. She notices everything from the way he looks at her to the way he reacts to the sound of her name.

Larxene knows about Axel.

Zexion.

Roxas too.

She feels their stares. She can hear their hunger.


Larxene knows she shouldn't go into that room with him. But Zexion smiles and pushes her in.


Larxene knows she shouldn't be alone with Marluxia. But that realization comes two minutes late.

XXX

Roxas was never a innocent as he appeared.

XXX

Axel wasn't good at inflicting pain, he was an expert.

XXX

Larxene wonders if dying woul really be that bad. But her attempts were just that.

Macthes couldn't burn well enough.

Knives couldn't cut deep enough.

Water woudn't hold her in its belly.

And poison wouldn't spread fast enough.

And each time, she'd just get caught.


Larxene tries not to scream as Zexion bruises her entryway. He was never as weak as he seemed.

Larxene tries not to cry when Marluxia grabs her. She knows what's coming.

Axel tells her to suck harder as he pulls her hair. And later he burns her himself.

Roxas? What could you expect? He never has enough.


Larxene knows Namine's next. Does she know? She probably does. Namine peers up from her drawing, her eyes tell the truth. She knows.

Larxene cries.

XXX

Larxene counts. She doesn't know what else to do. She counts down until it's over. She counts up until the pain subsides.

Un. Deux. Trois.

Un. Deux. Trois.

"What are you doing?" Axel asks, laughing.

"Nothing," she replies, "Just shut the hell up and fuck me harder."

And he does. She should have kept her mouth shut.

XXX

Larxene prays. She doesn't have anyone else to look up to. Namine prays too.

Larxene hides Namine. She won't let it happen to her. Not her.

XXX

Marluxia knows she's hiding her. Larxene won't tell.

Roxas is getting anxious. She says nothing

Zexion looks like he might read her mind.

Axel is going to kill her.

But she won't die just yet.

XXX

Un. Marluxia.

Deux. Zexion.

Trois. Roxas.

Quatre. Axel.

So Larxene waits. They come one by one.

Marluxia.

Zexion.

Roxas.

Axel.

Un.

Duex.

Trois.

Quatre.

XXX

One more time. She thinks. So she bears one more. And another. And another.

Scapel.

String.

Hear them scream. Begging her not t do what she had to. No, what she wanted to.

Spike to skull? Not gruesome enough.

XXX

Namine knows. But Namine's smiling. Namine's happy because, Namine's safe.

XXX

Tombstones in a cemetery.

Larxene throws roses. Namine wanted them yellow. "No wait", she says.

Red for Axel.

Pink for Marluxia.

Yellow for Roxas.

Blue for Zexion. The hardest to find.
