Chapter 2
Everything about the man that stood in front of her contrasted. He had long resplendent silver hair, much longer than hers, which didn't even touch her shoulders. His hair was not matched by his skin. It was dull, not pale, but it lacked the shine of health. It probably appeared much tanner against the lightness of his hair. Notwithstanding, neither could be compared to those eyes. So vivid, almost as if there was a fire burning inside them before but it had since burned out ,and the color was the remnants of the still burning embers.
She didn't accept his hand. She simply remained seated where she was.
"Don't you want to know? Know where you are, know what you're doing here?"
She shook her head. She couldn't really care. She was comfortable for once. This place seemed perfect for her.
"What's your name?" he said his voice monotone, and calm, yet extremely serious and demanding. Everything about it made her want to answer.
A whisper escaped her lips.
"Ah, what a pretty name," he was willing to say anything to get her to listen, to agree. "My name is Xemnas." He waved his hand and her name appeared. It hung in the air in front of her for a few moments. The letters glowed and were transparent gold. Before she could analyze the letters more they began to spiral around. The spiraling made here dizzy, despite sitting down, she couldn't stop her eyes from following each letter around in the gyre. After each letter she moved on to the next, and when she exhausted all letters, she began with the first one again. The circuit was soon interrupted when Xemnas thrusted his harm in the air. A large silver X appeared and halted the spinning.
"Xiraria?" she said, puzzled, he voice only slightly more audible than before.
"Your name."
"That's not my name, I told you my name..," a phrase she had once repeated many times. It flowed from her mouth easily.
"You haven't quite grasped it yet have you? You aren't you anymore."
Now that was something new to her. People had tried to control her before but to tell her she wasn't even her own self! That was over the line.
"What kind of sick joke is this?" She had almost been convinced that this was her perfect world.
"Talk about black with a capital 'B'," blurted out a voice from behind Xemnas. This man had equally piercing eyes, however, his were green. He had strange purple makings under his eyes, and his hair was pure red and appeared as if he utilized too much hair gel to hold it in it's peculiar spikes.
"Axel!" The first man snapped, "Show some respect."
"Well, I though I was. At least I wasn't going to leave her sitting in the dark!"
"Number Eight, I suggest you go back to the castle now, I will be bring her back soon enough, and she will be fully informed. Now, stop this nonsense"
Axel blew air from his nostrils with annoyance, "suit yourself," he then proceeded to open a dark portal and stepped through, disappearing from site. This added pounds of confused to her already baffled mind.
Xemnas sighed, placed his index finger and thumb on either side of his nose, and pinched them together, as if trying to relieve a headache. It was silent for a moment, as he attempted to think of a way to explain everything.
"What is the last memory you have?" he posed the question, hoping to get off to a start of the explanation.
She thought for a moment, and then she directed her eyes at the ground. She searched around as if she was looking for something, but in fact, she was searching her own brain for the answer. She couldn't remember. She looked up at him swiftly, not making eye contact but focusing on the area between his eyes and she shook her head with confusion.
"Ah, I see," he turned slightly looking down one of the dark streets the stemmed off from the skyscraper, "Come with me, I'll explain on the way."
"W-Where are we going?"
"To a place where I can explain all the answers"
