Chapter 2: Myde Captured~
Lea was waiting for Myde again, he had been there for a half an hour already but the boy still hadn't showed. Part of him was saying that was not a good thing, Myde usually couldn't wait to get out of his house. He didn't know what to do, as he walked closer to the house, he saw body bags being dragged out of the house. Roxas was sitting next to Myde holding the boy close, something had happened here. As Lea approached the two boys, Roxas looked up, blood on his face. He must have gotten involved, for his body was cut up. "what happened?" The red-head stopped next to Roxas and Myde. He had to make sure they were alright if something happened to them wouldn't it be his fault even if he didnt' wish to admit it there had to be something he could do to make all of this better again. He just shook his head, it was better not to talk about what had happened, Myde was already shaken, he was had watched them die. Tried to fight, and just been tossed aside like a ragdoll, the kid's mental state was messing up now. It was no surprise that Lea was here though, Roxas blushed remembering the night before, or well school and what he had and Lea had done but now was not the time for it. Lea reached to touch Myde, but the boy shoved away from Roxas and Lea. "Don't touch me! why weren't you here sooner...why did they kill them why...what is this about...Lea you know something tell me!" No one had ever seen Myde like this, his brain and emotions must have been messed up for him to act like was usually so calm and collected, well not calm but he was always kinda reserved till he got hyper. He was never mad or sad like he was now.
So it wasn't like anyone really knew how to deal with it, nor did they want to, he would much rather just get away. Roxy grabbed onto Myde ignoring his wounds, and how much they hurt. "look we will find the ones who did this...you go with Lea okay...I'm gonna look around for clues..."Roxy was trying to get Myde away from this scene as quick as possible before he saw something else."Roxy wait..." But Roxas was already gone, to find some clues and that left Lea with Myde who was glaring at Lea. He wanted to know what Lea knew. But he wouldn't find out would he, the kid was probably aware of that. As much as he hated to admit it, or even think about it. "Lea tell me what do you know...what happened...is it..." He shut his mouth, though he knew about Lea's dreams he wouldn't tell anyone it was better if he didn't as much as he probably should. "I don't know Myde...let's get out of here alright...leave things to Roxy he has to know what he is doing..." Lea looked back to see Roxy climbing into Myde's window, he waved to Lea and just slipped into the house. What looked like a shadow followed him, Lea thought it was probably just the boy's shadow or his eyes playing tricks on happened in times like this, as much as he didn't want to think about it. Something bad was happening or was going to happen, and Roxas was trying to do his best to prevent it they should be helping him as well.
"Fine...do you think Roxy will be alright...is he one of us?" Myde shivered, and clung onto Lea's arm again. As they walked Isa popped up next to them, his bag and Roxy's in his hand. "Where were you Isa?" Lea just looked at him and Roxy's bag. "oh was giving some stuff to Rox...the kid said to take his bag to school and just say he was sick and resting in the nurse's place...he'd be back later..." Isa didn't like that idea of Roxy going off on his own either, but if anyone else went it might give things away."Well let's get to class...before we are late..." He sighed and walked forward, dragging Myde with him the boy was scared it was obvious. Most might not have thought he would be here after what had happened. But they couldn't leave him there or alone somewhere. So this was the best thing they could do, as much as they probably didn't wish to do it, he wanted to just find out who had done that so he could keep the others safe. They had families too, but the powers they had wouldnt' have surfaced yet so until they did, most people around them would be at least he could hope they would, he looked up at the sky wondering what Roxas was doing as he took his seat, making sure Myde was sitting next to him. 'He'll be alright...but what happened at his house...I can't stop thinking about that...' He had to focus on class, or someone else would notice something was up and for Roxas's sake it was better that no one did.
~With Roxas~
The blonde was digging around Myde's house, he had gloves over his hands to keep from getting his prints or anything else anywhere. After all if he did it might just get him into trouble and that was really the last thing he needed and wanted. 'What happened here...' He looked out of the room and saw the blood in the hallway, he coughed and covered his mouth. He had to keep himself from throwing up. The smell in the room was gross, he couldn't get his mind to think clearly. He backed up, and then jumped over the blood puddle. "What is that..." He saw something shiny in the blood, as he reached down to pick it up, a image ran through his mind. More like it was a movie clip, the blood was trailing up his arm as he stood there.
~What Roxas is seeing~
Roxas couldn't do anything but he was watching as Myde's father walked out of his little sister's room, he was walking past the stairs when something caught him from behind. The man had been cut up badly before he was tossed, no shoved over the stairs. Roxas shivered, the shadow was looking at him, and moved to go right through him which caused the image to stop and his head started to hurt. "what was that...what did I do..." He picked it up and dropped the shiny thing which looked like a watch into the bag, before slipping it into his backpack. He was doing good so far, though he was just a bit confused. And it wasn't like he meant for any of that to happen to him. 'what happened here is...too bloody...why did it happen to Myde...' He had to wonder who had done this, and why. Did they want to capture Myde and Roxas had just turned up to get in the way of that, which might not have been a good thing for them. But he didn't want Myde to get hurt."The little girl's room next...it's not going to be pretty is it..." He had the pictures he had swiped of the girl's body, well all the families, but he didn't know why looking at hers was so hard to do. Maybe it was cause she was just a child, and he was not sure why she had to suffer like that. He would have rather had her saved, but he hadn't been fast enough to save her too, he had held her as she died, or well Myde had. That was part of why the boy was probably so messed up now. His mind was going to take some major work to fix they could at all, he moved to open the door to the girl's room, his eyes hurt and turned gold for a minute though he didn't notice. He could see her spirit sitting in the corner of the room crying. "mommy daddy the monsters...it hurts..." He looked at her and walked closer to touch her. "Little one...it's time for you to move on...or at least out of this room..." He didn't want to leave her in here anymore, if he did then that thing might try to hurt her again. He wondered if the dead could even be hurt by those things, and he wasn't going to take a chance with that. "But...Mommy and Daddy said to wait here..." she looked up and was covered in scratches, he hated seeing her like that or anyone like that for that matter. But how could he see her, maybe she was making herself seen.
"I'll take you to them...take my hand little one..." He wondered if there was a way to save her, make time go backwards and bring them back. They didn't deserve to die, and if anything happened well then he would try to stop it. Maybe just go back long enough to where he would be able to save them, and stop them from doing this. 'I will save them...should have the first time...' He held onto her hand and walked with her out of the room, as he touched the door he felt a pain in his forehead and bent down to his knees. "what the heck it hurts..." Roxas grabbed onto his neck, the burning had returned and now there was really nothing he could do. His vision started to blur and as he looked up there was another shadow. It grabbed his forehead and started to drag him into the girl's room, this was how she had died. It was showing him how they had killed her. "Close your eyes and plug your ears don't listen just don't..." He looked to her, and just watched as she did, he was tossed against the wall and groaned, looking up at the felt the knife go into his body and he screamed, he tried to control his body and his mind but the flaming pain ran through his body so quickly.
~With Lea, Isa and Myde~
The three boys were eating lunch, he hadn't come back yet and he was supposed to, but they had gone to the nurse's and it was said that Roxas's dad had picked him up and took him home. Maybe that meant he had found something and that was why he hadn't gotten back yet, they wouldn't know till they went by the house after school. They would meet Roxas at the little treehouse in the back of Isa's house, they had started hanging out there after school. "Do you think he's alright...I mean he just shoulda been back already..." Myde was nibbling on his food, he hadn't said much of a word all day, and was just relaxing now, trying to calm down and hope Roxas was alright. The boy was a strong one but still he should have been here sound of a scream made them look up, it was Roxy's scream they had heard it before but he wasn't here. "You all heard that right...?" Isa looked from Lea to Myde who was shivering again, like he was hearing his sister scream or something. "Yea but..." They were concerned but Roxy had told them to stay put no matter what he would find them again. He would not let anyone die again, and he had told Lea to keep Myde safe incase they were after him.~Back To Roxas~He cried out again the blade piercing his chest, he felt the burning pain but no blood, he was being stabbed and yet he wasn't.
It was hard to explain, and yet it hurt him so much he wanted to make it stop. But there was nothing he could do, he was trying to figure out what happened here. He knew she wasn't looking but he could feel like his life was slipping away, but it was hers. There was a small glimmer of life still left though, did that mean something. "Are you alright Ki?" He looked at her after the shadow had left, she had uncovered her eyes, and clutched in his hand was her necklace a a knife wrapped up in a towel. If he didn't let her see it then she wouldn't react to it which was for the best now."Now onto the next room...I'll let you rest in this..." He held a jewel out to her, and looked at her. He knew it was better for her this way, then she wouldn't see what might have happened in her mother's room, or well the bathroom where her mother had died. "Okay I'll rest...just please be careful..." she closed her eyes and vanished after all she didn't want Roxas to get hurt that was probably why she said that. They had played together the first time he had come over here with Myde, and he didn't know if he wanted to bring that up again not now till this was over. He moved into the bathroom shivered though he hated the water in the tub he had to look at it. He had to go in there, he had to finish this was the last room in the house and he was sure of that. He had gotten most of what was in this house already, so he knew most of what had leaned down to get the water out of the tub, he just had to hope it was better that way. He felt something grab his hand, and drag his head under the water.
He coughed and kicked his foot hitting the door, he couldnt' breathe but he screamed and was taking in water. It was not a good thing for him and he was well aware of that. He opened his eyes and looked at the one holding him under it was the shadow, and he just struggled to get away from them. "Let me go...!" He took a bite out of the shadow, and fell back out of the water as it let him go, his vision was blurring again. He felt like something was wrong with him and his body hurt, but he was stumbling up. The house seemed lighter, a bit less dark and now he was here to get out of here and go back to where he was supposed to be."Time to go find them...this house is changed...let's go little girl..." He sighed and started to walk to the door, his body ached and it was sore. As he looked around he could feel he was being glared at. "hahah!" He heard a laugh, and winced as he felt hands on his forehead. "I have found my victim...you have another heart in your body...give it to me..." He hissed and just shook his head moving out the door, that was nothing more then a illusion he hadnt' seen that it was not really there. Just his imagination right. "Gotta find Lea and the others..." He coughed and crawled up into treehouse before he collapsed in the corner, the wounds started to bleed a bit now that he was away from the house.
~Isa, Lea and Myde~
Myde had a bit of a rough day and he was just looking around when they left, he had said he had a vision of something and Roxas was hurt. But he didn't think it was true because it was just the way his younger sister had been killed and how she was found by him. "He should be at the treehouse he said he'd be waiting..." that was a text Lea had gotten from him, though Roxy had made a few mistakes, he wasnt' feeling good after all probably. After what the boy might have seen it wasn't like anyone would blame him. They could hear groans of pain and panting as they moved closer."Roxas!" Lea raced up and climbed the ladder, followed close behind by Myde, Roxas was in the corner sitting in a puddle of blood his shirt removed to show bruises and scrapes."Had a bit of a hard time...but the house is fine now..." He held out the gem to Myde, and coughed. "Your sister is alive but barely get that to her...she should wake up soon...take Isa with you..." He looked to Lea and smiled, his body shuddered and he could feel his mind start to slip into a sleep like state. "Stay awake! Roxas!" He picked him up and jumped out of the treehouse, rushing into the house.
"Take Myde to the hosital Isa do no leave his side..." Roxas could hear them running away to the hospital and rustling. Lea was putting him down on the bed and he just felt off, not like he knew what he wanted to do, but there had to be a reason for why this stuff coughed, and tried to sit up, his body was sore after what had happened to him, he was not really feeling good again, and there was nothing he could do. "Roxas you shouldn't move very much..." Lea was standing there, a mask thing covering his mouth and he had on one of his mom's painting apron things, and he was wearing gloves. Roxas could feel that some of his wounds had been stitched up, had been fixed. He was in pain still, though he was not that scared. "Did you do this Lea?" He didn't know that he had felt that way, something was just off how had he known how to do that. Maybe there was something or maybe a lot of something, he just moved to lean against the wall so he didn't hurt himself more. "Tell me what happened in that house Roxas...the cuts were deep..."
Lea was being concerned, would Roxas understand that, he had to realize that they were not trying to cause him any problems. No they were trying to help him, as much as Roxas had always been by himself. The boy just shook his head and pointed to the back pack. "Might as well do this while Myde isn't here...it's for the best...help me to the couch Lea please..." He didn't know what he was supposed to do, but he had to tell them it wouldn't help if he didn't after all. Lea slipped off the things he was wearing, he had to burn them. Since they were covered in Roxas's blood, he didn't want to let anyone know what had happened."Those shadows...those things that I told you about before...They were there..." Roxas shivered, they had tried to drown him...just to show him the people suffered. And they were picking at his fears, he hated it. The fears he had he didn't want anyone to know about. He looked to Lea, the boy held out a sea salt ice cream to him. He knew how Roxy liked those things, he had practically attacked the one he had been given at lunch, a few days ago. "Um thanks..." He sighed and tried to focus, there was nothing that would help him. He dug into the bag, his only good arm was still sore so it was hard even then for him to be able to work with what he could.
"Lea...they wanted Myde...said he had power...but...he didn't know how to use it yet..." Roxas had seen something else while he was there, the deaths he had felt them, even read the peoples minds as they died."Roxas what are you hiding...?" Lea could read Roxas, he knew that he was hiding something, even if it was just that didn't mean very much at all. "I heard them die...saw it...felt it...something's wrong...I'm normal right...so what happened...why..." He shivered, his body was shaking like he was losing it, and he just tried to focus. "Roxy you are special...we will find out why they did this...just be careful with that power you have..." The boy nodded and shoved the pictures and stuff back into his bag, he had to relax or this was just going to get worse from here. And of course he didn't want that to happen never had and never would for as long as he was still alive. "She should be alright...hopefully..." He was concerned about Myde and his sister, and the family they had lost that he couldn't bring back. They were already long gone, and nothing would get better from there."They'll be alright...just rest Roxas..." The boy nodded and closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep, he was way to tired after all he had gone through today. Lea covered him with a blanket and moved to walk out of the room, though he stopped and looked back to Roxas who moved and turned another direction to rest. 'He'll be alright too...they are strong after all...each in there own way...'
~At the hospital~
Myde was sitting at his sister's side, Isa watching from the corner of the room he had to keep him safe after all he had promised. There had to be a reason this happened, maybe to wake up Myde's sleeping powers. "She's alright...give her time to wake up...Let's go back. "Isa touched Myde's shoulder, the kid smiled even though underneath it he wanted to cry, he wouldn't let anyone see that he was weak. Even though he was shy, and could barely protect himself, or anyone around him. "Yea...let's go...I just have to go do something first..." He walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind him, he knew Isa was waiting outside for him. It was so he could protect him, which was probably for the best. Myde had a habit of getting hurt, as much as he hated it, and didn't know if he wanted anything to do with it. He stood facing the mirror, looking at his reflection. He looked tired, almost sick like and his eyes they held no happiness though he tried to fake it even more now. "Aww the poor little brat wants to protect them...well then come with us boy...and we'll leave your friends alone..."Myde didn't know if he should trust them but he wanted to save Lea and Isa. Keep them from the harm that might come to them, just like his family.
"I won't let you hurt anyone else...never again!" The water from the sink hit the man who was talking to him, Myde winced and cried out the mark was hurting, it was burning into his did it hurt so bad, what was going on what was he, there was nothing he could do. The man grabbed him and held him against the wall. "Well little brat...looks like you won't get away this time..." He would get what he wanted from the kid, though he did hear the door open behind him. "Put Myde down!" Isa was holding his weapon, and moved to try to strike him, only to be kicked and slammed aside. "Stop it! Leave him alone...I'll go just don't hurt Isa...please..." Myde looked at Isa and just smiled as the chains wrapped around his body, a blue gem appearing on his forehead. It seemed that the chains connected to that, and a symbol appeared. It was what looked like a needle and some sort of time like thing. The japanese symbol for water was in the middle of it, and was flashing. Myde screamed, the pain it hurt, but it was to keep his friends the color faded to a dull color, as if his eyes were almost soul-less, the boy looked to Isa. "Go home...tell Lea..." And with that he stopped talking and the chains dropped vanishing into puddles of water. "our first puppet is finished...come Myde time to go home where you belong...the place your parents kept you from..."
The boy just nodded, and clung to his hand, the man was taking him back home. Maybe now his friends would be safe, he smiled at Isa again, as the portal closed behind him. He had left his charm there, well one of them maybe so they could find him, or he didn't know. Isa pulled himself off of the ground, and looked to the water, Myde's power was unlocking, they had to get him back before they found out what it could do. All he could do now was get back to Lea and Roxas. They had to be back at the house still, since Roxas was probably too hurt to actually go anywhere now. "Lea open the door..." Isa was holding his weapon, he had used it to walk home, no one had asked. They were probably too scared to asked him, but he didn't care. "Isa where's Myde what the heck happened..." He leaned against the wall as the weapon vanished, he didn't know how to tell them he was gone. The kid had gone probably to save them, or his family's death had hit him way too hard, and he was just trying to ignore it."They got him...those cloaked people...whoever they are they did something to him..." Isa was not happy about that he had let them take Myde but he couldn't do anything. The boy had told him not to, and just to take care of his little sister. He didn't know what Myde had planned, he had to have something going on in his little mind. "We'll get him back Isa...just sit down..."
He went to wake up Roxas, the boy had been sleeping for so long, maybe he should have woken him up sooner. But then the boy would have wanted to get Myde back right now, and they couldn't have that. Not with how injured he was, he would have to wait and heal before it got worse."Myde's gone why didn't I go with you could have saved him..." He punched the wall, wincing as the blood dripped down from where he had split the skin. "Roxy we all could have been there...and nothing would have changed...He went to save us..." Isa looked at Roxas, he could understand where the boy was coming from but they couldn't do anything if they started fighting amongst themselves over this. "We have to do something...get him back fast...before they hurt him..." Roxy used Lea for support, his body was not healed yet, but they had to move he could suffer through a bit more pain as long as it brought Myde home to them again. "We need a plan..." Roxas sat down with a pen and paper, and the back pack that had the things he had gotten from Myde's house.
~With Myde and the cloaked guy~
Myde stood next to him, his clothes had been taken from him and tossed into a drawer that he would never look in. They would only need those clothes to send him back to that school if they ever needed to. "Prince please...you are getting new clothes and then it's off to meet the leader..." Myde just nodded, and looked ahead. Almost like maybe he was waiting for something or someone, that jewel remained on his forehead,but it had gained a golden crown like thing to it that spread across his forehead and seemed to vanish under his hair. It would at least look like it wasnt' stuck to him, but no one needed to know his true let them put the feather in his hair, it was to hold his bangs out of his face, the boy was to take his rightful place as the heir to the kingdom. His power would be useful, that was another way or reason they had brought him here for. Any jewels he had when he got here remained on him, he wouldn't let them take them after all it was his choice about that. They had to agree with him whether they wanted to or not. He didn't care if they got mad at at him. "Time to go Myde..." He looked to his friend, the man in the cloak that had brought him here, they had supposebly been friends for years. And then something had happened to him, and he had been searching for him. He nodded and put on the cloak to keep his eyes and hair covered, until they saw had to be careful, some wanted him died, or wanted his power for themselves or so he had been told lately. And he didn't want to let them get it. "What are they like...will they be nice to me...you promised my friends would be left alone right..." He hated being away from them as well, but if this was to save them.
Then he had to be strong and live with it, as much as it probably would hurt him in the long run. He didn't need to make anymore enemies then he probably would already have. And he didn't want to tick off the one who had brought him here, or the high priest he had heard about." Don't worry about that Prince...you are the future of this place..." He nodded and looked ahead, there was the Queen, she looked a lot like his mother. But he didn't know why he was doing this, he should just let it go. "Myde...it has been awhile..." He felt a hand on his shoulder, it was a young man about his age, he shivered and felt another presence, but this one he liked and would not be scared of. "Father...brother...Mother...I'm sorry..." He didn't know what to do, these people were his family and yet he didn't remember them. It was like as hard as he tried he couldn't remember them."Don't push yourself too hard child you have a rough day ahead of you tomorrow...Let's get him into a room and let him rest...give him some good food..."
He nodded, and motioned for a small servant to walk over, and muttered something in his ear. The boy would bring food to the young child's room, Ashur picked Myde up and started to walk out after he bowed to the King and Queen. "Did I do something wrong?" Myde wanted to know if he was truly doing something wrong, that was just the way it was and had been."No they are just happy to have you home..." He smiled and placed Myde on the bed, he started to slip off his shoes and changing him into night clothes. "Tomorrow I will take you on a tour of the grounds...for now Young Master should rest...after he eats of course..." Myde leaned against the pillow and coughed, his head hurt. He wondered what they had made him to eat, as the servant brought the food and placed in next to the bed. Myde just nodded and muttered his thanks, he had a lot to get used to in this world didn't he. He fell asleep after touching only a little bit of the food, he wasn't that hungry for some reason. "Get some rest..."
The man walked back out to where the Queen and King were sitting."Will he fit the bill...you wanted a son and his power will help the Kingdom as well...?" He had brought him here for that reason it was part of his orders. Now he just had to wonder what would happen next. "Yes he is just fine...keep his friends away from him...he can continue to go to school...but that is it..." The man nodded and moved to walk out, they were finally getting somewhere. And they finally had the power of the water in the very grasp that he would have thought he would be able to get away from. "They will not be able to save you boy...dont' get your hopes up..." He smirked, and wandered to put the boy's food away so he could eat it
notes: End of that one! It was very long yes and got many places poor Myde/Demyx whatever. Muse is working for fanfics not roleplaying today yesh. So well this is what I'm doing for the moment.
