"I'll you some time to think. You'll find me when you're ready, Xion." Riku said as he helped me stand. I felt numb inside, like I was plunging head first through ice. Riku had told me everything. I was a Replica created by Vexen at Castle Oblivion. My purpose was to double the keyblade's power by stealing Sora's memories of Kairi. My entire existence was a plague that ravaged those I touched.

When I came back, Roxas' eyes lit up. How can he not see what I've been doing to him? He ran and got Axel and the three of us went to the clock tower. Axel noticed how quietly I sat there, ice cream remaining untouched. I wondered if he knew about me. Roxas too began to realize the silence from me. A plan had wormed its way into my head. I'd go see Riku again soon and see what more he had to tell me. My mind was too foggy to decide.

"Xion, come home," Roxas begged.

"I can't," Saix had pushed me over the edge. Now I knew for sure what my choice would be. If I could only force Roxas to destroy me, then maybe Sora would wake up. I drew my keyblade and Roxas released my hand. Out of nowhere, Axel's chakram raced for my head, and I swiftly blocked with my keyblade. Axel emerged next.

"Stop it!" Roxas screamed. Axel and I had been trading blows for a matter of seconds before Roxas tried to intervene. That was my chance to rescue Sora. If I stopped, I hoped Axel wouldn't. A gloved hand cracked down on the base of my neck and unconsciousness swept over me.

"Of all the faces, why is it I look at her and see yours? Why do you always look at me like I just drowned your goldfish?" Xigbar mused sarcastically. I was certain I knew what he was talking about, but it didn't concern me, only reassured me I was doing what was right. Axel stared at me in shock when I coldly knocked Xigbar unconscious then opened a dark corridor. I had to go to the Old Mansion in Twilight Town, a girl named Namine was waiting for me.

"No one can remember you, Xion," Namine warned," you are composed of Sora's memories and aren't a Nobody. You'll disappear completely."

"I understand. This is what's right, for everyone." Riku burst into the room and said the Organization had found us. I ran outside. The person who was coming, I knew who they were.

Axel came through a dark corridor. He argued with me. Axel had known all along what I was, but he still wanted me back. However, this would not deter me, nothing would.

Axel had managed to bring me back again, but once more I escaped. This time, I fought Roxas and gave myself no chance to survive. Of course, Roxas won without a problem. I fell to the ground, dying. With my last strength, I asked myself one last question.

Will anyone try to remember me when I'm gone?
