Everyone kept to themselves in this castle. I felt like I didn't belong here. I was treated as an outcast, but it's to be expected. I was told to keep my hood up at all times. I doubt anyone thinks I'm new anyway. With our hoods on, we almost all look alike.
"Oh man! I think I'm lost again!" I have got to stop losing myself in thought, or I could get lost in this place. "Huh?" There was another person here. By the looks of it they were shorter than me and probably my age too.
"Hey! Wait up!" I ran up to the person, even though I was told to stay away from the others. The person I ran up to didn't take of their hood and didn't turn around. They just stopped and listened.
"Great just what I need, someone else who treats me like an outcast," I took off my hood thinking, "I wonder if I should even be here." It doesn't even matter if anyone sees who I am anymore. I turned around and began to walk away to try to find my own way when the person finally spoke.
"W-wait…" the person removed their hood. "You're different from the others aren't you? Just like me." It was a girl. She had black hair and blue eyes.
"I honestly don't know. I was just told to stay here until I was needed. It at least gives me a purpose. I have no memory so it helps," I looked at her again, "by the way what did you mean that we're alike? Who are you anyway?"
"There," she pointed to a staircase, "If you go that way then you should wind up near the round room. You can find your way from there can't you?" she started walking away.
"Wait! You didn't answer me!" she turned around once again before finally walking away.
"I'm number XIV, my name is Xion." As she was walking away I felt a kind of premonition. I felt as though her future would be full of hurt and hardship. It was a bad thought but for some reason I also could feel that this might be the last time I would ever see her.
After what seemed like a few hours I finally found my way to the round room and then to my room. Just as I was going to crash on my bed I was stopped by Larxene.
"Hey kid. Marluxia wants to see you." She looked really angry but then again she always was when she talked to me. Apparently it was really important since she grabbed me by the arm and dragged me away.
At first I thought she was just going to take me to the room where I met Marluxia the first time, but that wasn't the case. I was taken out of the castle and to the edge of the city. That's when Larxene opened a dark corridor. I was a little freaked out by this. Ever since I had first arrived here I had never left the castle, not even once. I didn't know what the outside world was like, and I didn't know if I could face it. There was no time to think though. The passage through the dark corridor was instantaneous, and before I knew it I was there.
Before me stood a castle that seemed to rival the Organization's castle. The area around it had a strange feel to it. It was as if we were on the very edge of light and darkness. Before I could take in the view of this new castle I was dragged in. Apparently to Larxene I'm about the same as a sack of potatoes. After flights and flights of stairs I was once again face to face with that weird flower guy, Marluxia.
"I trust your trip here was enjoyable?" he asked.
"About as enjoyable as spilling salt in a cut," I said.
"Hey!" followed by a punch to the head. "Am I gonna have to teach you some manners too boy?"
"Now Larxene you should be treating our guest with more respect. He is our guest of honor after all." We were then motioned to follow him into one of the rooms.
The room we walked into was pure white and even the furniture was white too. There weren't any chairs so we had to stand. There was, however, a large crystal sphere in the center of the room. I later found that it was used to monitor the castle.
"So Xero, what do you think of our castle?" he asked with a smile on his face that made me want to punch him for some reason.
"It is pretty cool, but where are we, and what do you mean by our castle? Does the Organization have two castles?"
"All in good time Xero, for now you should be getting used to this place," he said as he fixed his hair, "because you're going to be spending a lot of time here."
"Why is that? Did the organization finally give me my first mission?"
"Hm, something like that. Now follow me, there is something I would like to show you."
As we walked down the long hallway all that was on my mind was the fact that there were two high ranking members of Organization XIII with me and we were alone. "Did I do something wrong?" I thought. "Could it be that they brought me here to kill me? In a place where my screams can't be heard?" When Marluxia stopped right in front of me I jumped.
"Here we are…now go inside!" I felt a push on my back from Larxene as I was forced into the door causing it to open.
"Ow, that really hurt!" to my surprise they didn't try to kill me after all.
"This will be your new mission Xero." Marluxia then pointed to the corner of the room. In the corner there was a lone chair next to a long table. Sitting on the table was a girl with blonde hair. She didn't look at me so I didn't get a good look at her face.
"What do you mean by new mission?" I think I was the only one with out a clue.
"You mission is to watch the girl, genius." Again Larxene for some reason made me feel stupid.
"Yes it's just as she said. Your mission is to watch her while we carry out our business. We can't always be watching her."
"You make it sound as if she's a prisoner." I said realizing what he was saying.
"Oh you're completely mistaken. If we were to leave her alone she could be harmed. After all, she is very special to us and we wouldn't want her to be harmed." Ok, I could tell something was a little off because it was Larxene who said it.
"Consider yourself as her protector. You will start tomorrow and don't be late." With those last few words he and Larxene left the room.
Now It was just me with her. The air in the room felt very uncomfortable. It was so quiet I swear I could hear her breathing. I decided to leave for now and start in the morning. What now?
