(AN: Well I don't really have anything to say other than this:

Second chapter woot! :D)

"So Axel, aren't you gonna go after him?" Demyx asked with a concerned look.

"Naw, let him go. He's just going through one of his little emo Zexion phases." Axel said and turned his back.

"I dunno...he seemed kinda serious.." Demyx said, and walked over to look down the hall. Roxas was already gone. "Yeah well, he'll be back in a few hours, don't sweat it." Axel said and left is room. As he walked down the hall he could still hear the angry yells from Saix losing in a game of war to Luxord...again. Axel went outside where Demyx and Roxas had built the ginger-wood house. It a cold, snowy night, and Axel could see his breath. Shivering, he lit up a small fire on his finger and gazed out into the woods. There was no trace of Roxas; But suddenly, a figure began to appear coming out of the woods. Axel tried to make out who it was, but it definitely wasn't Roxas. They were much to tall and bulky to be a kid. Axel became a little bit intimidated now. "Who out there?" He yelled, but got no answer. Te figure approached closer and closer. Axel backed up a bit. He had one chakram out, but lowered it when he saw it was only Lexaeus.

"Hey guess what? I found my calling!" Lexaeus said gleefully. He had his tomahawk in hand for some reason.

"I hunt now!" Lexaeus said with a cheerful smile on his face.

"And why is that a good thing?" Axel asked, rubbing his hands together in the cold.

"Well I dunno, it's just fun to go out and mindlessly kill Heartless and Nobodies." Lexaeus shrugged casually.

"Hey hey don't be out there killing the nobodies, we need those." Axel scolded. "But hey, did you see Roxas out there at all?"

"Is he having one of his Zexion phases?" Lexaeus asked.

"Yep."
"Well actually I did. I was out beating the crap out of tings and he came along and killed everything before I could..he seemed pretty pissed. Did you do something?" Lexaeus deep, low voice bellowed loudly across the snowy horizon, as the heart-shaped moon glistened in the black sky.

"Well..." Axel trailed off for a second. "Did he say where he was going?"

"Nope." Lexaeus replied to him. "But he did head up North a bit. But I hope he didn't go too far up.." Lexaeus said, and turned around to look at the mountains of black that towered over them in the distance.

"Well what's out there? Roxas can take care of those Nobody-werewolf things, he'll be fine." Axel didn't really seemed to be concerned at all. He knew Roxas the best out of everyone in the Organization, maybe even better than Sora.

"Well sure he can handle the werewolves, but what about the pack of white cloaked people that live up there in the mountains?" Axel looked at Lex with the same face he had the day Marluxia came out of the closet. "What the hell are you talking about?" Axel said with the face again.

"Ohh...Saix and Xemnas never told you about that?" Lexaeus shook his head.

"Shame. Well, since you don't know, I'd better tell you. Xemnas and Saix were out scouting for Nobodies to recruit in the mountains, when they came across a lone Shadow wandering in the snow. Saix approached it, but the thing was overly aggressive. It attacked Saix viciously, and had white eyes instead of the usual yellow, and Saix said it looked like it had freaking rabies. When Xemnas killed it, a bunch of people in white cloaks came out of practically nowhere. Their coats didn't look anything like ours, but Xemnas felt a connection to them. They began to circle 'em and move in, until Saix warped them both out. Saix said it was the scariest shit he's ever seen. Vexen even claimed to see one once, too." Lexaeus said, completely out of breath. Axel was practically speechless.

"Thanks for telling me that..uhh...hey..you wouldn't mind coming out with me and looking for Roxas, would ya?" Axel said with a nervous face.

Lexaeus laughed and agreed, and they ventured out into the dark Woods That Never Were.

--The Woods That Never Were--

Axel and Lexaeus had just got out there and Lexaeus was freezing. Axel lit a dry piece of wood and carried it with them. "Do you think he went up there?" Axel asked as they were trudging through the thick snow.

"Well, it's the only way. It's just a bunch of trees down here." Lexaeus looked around, and saw some snow falling from a branch over in the distance. It was probably nothing. Lexaeus turned over to see how Axel was doing, and he seemed pretty fine. As they walked through the snow they could see lone Heartless watching over them from atop the trees. But though the Heartless are stupid, they knew better than to attack the Organization. Axel was walking until his foot got caught in a big snow bank they were walking through. "Hey, get me outta here! Axel yelled, and tried to pry himself out of the deep bank of snow. Lexaeus grabbed his arm and with one hand, pulled him out of the deepening snow with ease.

"Dude, where'd you get so ripped?" Axel stared in awe as Lexaeus lifted him out.

"Well, now we just go up. It's the only way to go once you get out this far in the woods." Lexaeus said with a stern face and looked up at the mountains. "Lets just hope they don't find Roxas before we do.."

Axel nodded and together they treaded up the path.

The sow was getting worse, and a storm was about to come. Axel's fire was no longer a help, so he didn't bother. Lexaeus had his tomahawk over his shoulder and looked up. Above the moon, in the branches, Heartless began to drop down in large numbers. Axel and Lexaeus immediately began to take them out one by one. Heartless weren't a threat at all-one hit and they fade away. But then, the Heartless suddenly retreated. For a split second, they thought the fight was over. But this time, more came. But it was the kind that Lexaeus told Axel about. They had glowing white eyes, and were much more aggressive than normal. Soldier attack Lexaeus in hordes, jumping up and down trying to slash his face, and Axel was occupied with Neo shadows. They attacked fiercely, and Axel finally brought one down. But it didn't fade away like normal Heartless-it suddenly spazzed out and exploded in a big cloud of darkness.

"What the hell are these things?" Axel yelled to Lexaeus as he watched in amazement at how the Soldiers died. These ones let out a deafening screech and, sort of melted into the ground.

"Let get outta here!" Lexaeus yelled and killed off one last Heartless, and he ands Axel began to run up the snowy hill, the so called "Heartless" following them relentlessly. Axel's eyes brightened at what he saw before him. Just up the hill was Roxas, fighting off the strange Heartless, all alone.

"ROXAS!" Axel yelled and bolted through the snow. Roxas turned to see Axel running up towards him, Lexaeus following. "Hey buddy! We didn't think you were serious when you said you were coming out here!" Axel tried to yell over the roar of the snowstorm. "Lets go before more of these things pop up!" Axel was yelling to him, but Roxas just stood there and ignored him and kept on fighting. "Oh the silent treatment eh?" Axel said with a smile and jumped over to Roxas. But as he walked over, Roxas tried to strike him with his keyblades. Axel jumped back, startled by Roxas's reaction. He tried to look into Roxas's hood to see his face, but couldn't see anything at all. "What's gotten into you Roxas?" Axel said with a puzzled look. The Heartless were gone, and now the snow started to shake below them. Roxas stood silently as 8 figures appeared as if out of nowhere, completely covered in white cloaks. They looked nothing like the Organization, but Axel did feel a strong connection to them. One put his hand on Roxas's shoulder. Lexaeus came over in a hurry.

"I think we should get out of here..." Lexaeus whispered to Axel.

"I'm not leaving without Roxas." Axel replied to him in a hushed tone. He cautiously approached Roxas, and the white figures began to move in like Saix had said. They circled the three, and Roxas still did not move. Axel and Lexaeus backed up, Roxas in the middle of them. Lexaeus picked up Roxas and opened up a portal, and they hastily ran in before the with cloaked people could get any closer. The portal brought them back to Axel's room. It seemed that everything was over..for now.

--What the Hell Just Happened?--

"What the hell just happened?" Axel panted heavily as he sat on his bed, Lexaeus sitting in the chair. Roxas stood over by his wardrobe, staring into the mirror at himself constantly.

"Dude, what was your problem back there? You looked as if you weren't even yourself." Axel said and threw his hands up.

"I don't know." Roxas said seriously. "Do you people have anything to eat around here?" He said and walked out the hall, and strolled down the stairs.

"Did he just say, "you people?" Lexaeus asked with a raised brow.

"Yeah...Roxas is weird like that when he has his Zexy moments." Axel replied.

"But I'm sure it's nothing. He'll be back to normal by tomorrow. So uhh..I'll see you tomorrow then." Axel said and waved to Lexaeus casually.

"Yeah, see you around." Lexaeus said, and went across the hall to his room. Lexaeus's roommate is Vexen, Demyx is with Zexion, Axel with Roxas, Xemnas has his own room, Saix and Saix share a room, Xigbar with Xaldin, and Marluxia with Larxene. Vexen was fast asleep, and Axel didn't know where Roxas went, but still went to bed anyway.

Roxas was down in the kitchen by the fridge. It was dark, besides one light on and he light from hr fridge. He was rummaging through the back, and grabbed one of Saix's diet bars, when suddenly his arm started to vibrate wildly. He put down the bar and rolled up his sleeve. On it, was a beacon that was flashing yellow, on and off. A fuzzy noise started to come out if it, almost as if it was being tuned like a radio.

"Are you in?" A raspy voice emerged from the flashing beacon.

"Yes, I'm in their castle." replied Roxas. "But I must know. What will become of the captive?"

"I don't know." The voice replied. "We'll probably just kill him off like The Overseer said to." There was a crashing noise that came from the beacon, and a voice came on that sounded exactly like Roxas sas well.

"You won't get away with this!" He said violently, and the Roxas with the beacon laughed.

"I fin your threats to be amusing. No one will come for you. Not when I'm around, traipsing around as the snot nosed little brat I'm supposed to be. But don't worry, they'll be taking good care of you up there...Roxas." the "Beacon" Roxas laughed again and turned off the device, shut off the lights and ran upstairs.

(AN: Aack, I'm a bit slow on this. X_X I don't know if it'll be done by Christmas, and I know I'm getting a little side-tracked with this whole creepy-ass white cloak people, but it'll all work out, not to worry. n.n I'll be sure to update soon too!)
