Prologue: Number XV Elixa
A young fallen nobody stood near the Twilight Town's mansion in the forest. Her blue eyes were inflectionless and unfathomable but she was aware of her surroundings. She kept her head down and stared at the ground even when she was approached by a person in a black coat. When he spoke to her, she merely nodded or shook her head in answer. The man sounded familiar somehow but she couldn't remember anything of the past, not even the ability to speak.
"You seek answers?" asked the man in a deep, orderly voice that sounded more like a statement than a question. "I can give you purpose."
With a few motions of his arm, the word Leia appeared and an X got placed in it. The barely-visible letters spun around until the word Elixa appeared. The young woman looked up at the name and said it above a whisper. The man in the black coat looked satisfied that she spoke and he smiled at her. His golden colored eyes were something she'd always remember because they were soul-shattering.
"That is right," said the man. "The new you." He said that with confidence and the he disappeared in a dark portal.
The sunset shone down on her dark brown hair that resembled someone she knew but didn't remember. Her skin was pale but her cheeks were flushed slightly. She knew she was about seventeen or sixteen years old because she had a young woman's body. Her limbs were long and skinny like that person she couldn't remember. She wore a small pink dress, a white tank top underneath it, and a pair of magenta tennis shoes.
The sound of someone walking towards her snapped her out of her reverie but she made no acknowledge towards them. He wore a black coat like the other man wore but had red spiky hair that looked like it got struck by lightning. His electric green eyes were kind and gentle but she didn't know if she could trust him. He was lean and skinny but about twice her size. He had slight muscle but not so it was sickening.
"Hey, there," he said in a carefree, happy voice, "the name's Axel, got it memorized? What's your name?" His questions were totally innocent but she didn't know if she could answer them.
"Elixa," she said dully, nodding slightly.
"Oh, you can talk," he said teasingly, giving her a big smile. "So do you wanna get some ice cream with me?"
"Ice…cream?" she repeated, curiosity coloring her dull tone.
"Yeah," he said, grabbing her by the hand. "Come on, let's get some ice cream, what d'ya say?"
"Okay…Axel," said Elixa, walking with him silently.
….
The two nobodies sat on the clock tower that was connected to the train station in Station Heights, eating ice cream as they watched the sunset. Axel stared at Elixa and saw her devouring her ice cream. You'd think she was starving but she was a brand new Nobody and she probably was hungry. He smiled at her and patted her shoulder gently, causing her to jump a bit.
"Enjoying your ice cream, Elixa?" asked Axel kindly.
"Y-yeah," answered Elixa dully, returning to her ice cream until it was gone.
"Let's hang out again like this, huh?" asked Axel, prompting her to talk back to him.
She didn't answer but merely looked up to the sunset.
"Gee, don't talk my ear off," said Axel sarcastically, scratching the back of his head. "Come on, little zombie, let's head to the castle."
"Hmm," she murmured in response, looking down to her lap.
To help her Axel grabbed her by the under arms and picked her up. She was rather light considering she was a girl but she made no response whatsoever about being scooped up like a baby. She finally looked up to see Axel looming in her face and he nearly flushed at her blue eyes. Damn hormones, he was thinking, even as a Nobody, I can't get rid of you.
"S-so," said Axel when he set Elixa down in a sitting position, "do you know anything about your somebody?"
The only answer was a shake of her head which meant no.
Just like Roxas, Axel thought, thinking about how Roxas used to be. When he first came into the organization, he was like a little zombie until he began to develop his speaking abilities. It's…funny. Elixa and Roxas have the same eyes and skin tone. Were their somebodies related? I can see it but I can't believe it. If this girl is related to Roxas, then…Xemnas must know already which is probably why he put the girl in the organization.
"Hmm," murmured Axel, placing a hand to his chin in a thinking manner.
The funny thing was, was that Elixa was copying him because she too placed a hand to her chin in a thinking manner.
"You're so cute," cooed Axel, pinching one of her cheeks. "Come on, let's go before boss man lets us have it."
"Have what?" she asked curiously, cocking her head to the side like a cute little puppy did.
"Never mind," said Axel, shaking his wild mane of red hair. "Come on, Lixy." With that, Axel grabbed Elixa by the arm and led her to a dark corridor so they would arrive at the castle.
That was the day that changed my life forever-Elixa and Axel.
A/N: My thoughts jump to one story to the next, I'm well aware of that! Anyway, I hope you like the prologue! Sorry if it was short but the real chapters will be longer! We'll find out more about Elixa's past in the next one because, like Roxas, it will start on day seven for her. The italicized characters are usually thoughts or memories but you'll be able to see the difference. Read and Review please! Some of my YT videos are made to spoil the story a bit but not too much. Oh BTW Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza, Happy Hannukah—whatever it is you celebrate, have a joyful winter season!
Love, Kh-Hp-Disneylover809.
