"Vexen... Vexen... VEXEN."

"FOR THE LOVE OF CARBON I HEAR YOU ZEXION." Vexen snapped at his friend. The smaller boy rolled his eyes calmly. "Now what do you want?"

"Mr. Hojo was calling you." Zexion replied, going back to his book. Vexen was quiet for a second, which to be honest was rare for the nine year old. "He wants you in his office for a check up. That's why Mr. Tseng is here." Vexen turned around to see that yes, Tseng was behind him.

"You don't have to carry me this time." Vexen spit at the man. Tseng sent him a glare but said nothing. The security never said anything. All they did was hurt you, escort you, or restrain you. By now Vexen knew how to act. He didn't want to end up in solitary like Axel. He stood up and followed Tseng to the door, keeping himself at the man's side. He kind of wished he could just asked to be carried, but only small kids like Roxas and Zexion were allowed to do that. He had to walk on the dirty floor with no shoes cause he lost his shoe privileges.

He walked into Hojo's office and crawled up onto the chair, pulling his knees to his chest and hugging them to try and get some kind of warmth into his body. He had to wait for Hojo to come in. It was some kind of power trip thing. It was supposed to make the "patients" think they weren't worth his time. Vexen thought it was a pathetic game for people with too little self respect to fathom respecting others.

Vexen lived in a special facility for children with...abilities... Specifically supernatural abilities. What could Vexen do? Well, he could freeze things, and make giant ice spikes. His best friend Zexion was able to make illusions, things that looked like they were there but really weren't. Every child in the facility had special powers, and as far as Vexen knew there were thirteen of them.

No one knew what Xemnas did, Xemnas didn't talk to anyone. However, Xigbar could teleport and Xaldin controlled and made wind. Lexeaus, Vexen's other friend, had power over earth and was really strong. No one knew what Saïx did exactly, but he wasn't allowed in moonlight and had a tendency to get really angry. Axel, Saïx's best friend, was able to control fire and as a counterpoint Demyx controlled water. Luxord, this kid that came from England, was able to control time and all the guards had to watch him and Xigbar really closely because they had unpredictable powers. Marluxia, Vexen's personal worst enemy, controlled plants. His favorite was roses. Larxene, or as Vexen had heard Reno call her when no one was listening, "bitch face mc thunder cunt", control lightning. Finally, there was Roxas. Roxas refused to go near anyone who wasn't Axel. He could do things with light, but no one had actually seen his powers.

"So, Four, how has your day been?" Hojo asked, finally walking in and sitting across from the hostile ten year old. Hojo was actually Vexen's favorite of the facility managers. Hojo at least kind of understood him. He still didn't like him a lot.

"Fine." Vexen responded with a small smirk. He was going to play his own games.

"What did you do?"

"Things."

"What did you eat?"

"Food."

"Who did you talk to?"

"People."

"Four." Hojo said his "name" in a warning tone. Vexen sighed. He had had his fun, he didn't want solitary. Or the pit...

"My day was normal, I froze pillow last night because it was too hot and I couldn't sleep. I dreamt about my brother again, as well. I mostly read today and stuck with Zexion and Lexeaus all day. I talked to them. No one else. For breakfast I had cereal and for lunch I had cold fish soup."

"Thank you, Four." Hojo responded, jotting down notes. "Did you receive my recommended materials?" The blond nodded. "So why aren't you wearing them?"

"...They make my fingers hurt." Vexen admitted. He hated admitting weakness, but the gloves were supposed to keep him in control of his powers, but they made his blood at the end of his fingers begin to freeze. It burned, like touching Axel because Axel was really warm, but instead it was because of ice.

"Yes, but they help you keep control." Hojo said. "And when you take them off, don't they make the ice come out in huge, deadly bursts?" Vexen nodded. "Good. We did the same thing with Eight. He'll stop getting sick eventually." Vixen eyes widened.

"Sick?" He asked. "What's making him sick?"

"The fire goes to his heart and overheats his body." Hojo explained. "We need to see if the same will happen to you, but with freezing." Vexen nodded. Would the gloves freeze him though...maybe he'd be able to touch people though... Did he want to touch people? Maybe. He hadn't safely touched any other patients in years though. "Very good. You may go back to your room."

"But it's still free ti-"

"I said return to your room." With that, Hojo got up and left Vexen sitting on his seat. Vexen looked down and then back up. He didn't want to go back. Tseng walked in and looked at him, making him stand and follow to the tall man back to a steel door with a large four on it. Vexed was pushed in and with that the guard left the child to his own devices. Vexed looked at his black gloves and then at the window. He wanted to look out the window. He wanted to climb out. All that stood between and freedom was...frost resistant bars.

He was ten...he didn't stand a chance.

I know it seems like Vexen is the main character, but there actually isn't really one. I just really like Vexen. So I hope you liked it, please review, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I FEED FROM REVIEWS. All flames will be given to Axel as toys.
