The Earth Stone Dancer
CH II
Whynexia caught up to Roxas and questioned him on what '14' meant and who in the world 'The Superior' was. Roxas's reply to all of her questions was: "The Superior will explain it all to you much better than I ever could." After a lot of walking, they came up to the highest platform and the closest to Kingdom Hearts. Up there was a man with long white hair and with his back to them. The man must have heard them coming because he turned around and looked right at Whynexia. She knew instantly that they weren't going to get along with each other, just by the look in his eyes. They were red like embers of a fire still hot after the flame died, yet extremely cold and empty; no emotion at all, just…empty.
"Hey, uh, Roxas?" Whynexia whispered, her voice almost shaking, she didn't want to hang around this new, creepy guy any longer than she had to, "Weren't you going to have me meet your friends?" Roxas either didn't hear or just ignored her completely because he just stood there looking at the man wearing no expression like he had been since the man first turned around.
"Superior, this is Whynexia," Roxas told the man while gesturing with his hand to Whynexia, "Whynexia, this is the Superior, Xemnas."
"I've been expecting you 14," Xemnas said. A shiver went up Whynexia's spine when she heard his voice. It had less emotion than his eyes, and his voice was cold and deep on top of it.
"Can someone please tell me what the heck '14' means?!" she exclaimed, loosing her patience. If it weren't for his seemingly inability to show emotion, the look on his face would have been called shock.
"Are you saying 13 hasn't told you?" he asked averting his gaze on Whynexia to Roxas. Roxas was looking at his feet sheepishly. "You are the 14th in our Organization."
"Whoa whoa, wait; 'Organization'?!" Whynexia said not believing her own ears. She turned to Roxas, "You mean the Organization you were telling me about before?!" Roxas nodded slowly and Whynexia turned back to Xemnas. "I thought organizations were supposed to be voluntary?!"
"Were you not brought into this 'existence' wearing that coat? You have a place in the Proof of Existence; you are the Earth Stone Dancer, the 14th in our Organization. You have no choice, this is your destiny." All while Xemnas was talking, Whynexia was taking step after step slowly backward until he was done rambling then she turned on her heel and ran. She had barely gotten a few meters down the walkway leading to the platform when she bumped into someone.
She looked up to see a guy with bright red hair spiked straight back and bright green eyes with small diamond shaped marks underneath them, and that he wore the same coat as everyone else here seemed to be wearing.
"Taking a break from Castle Oblivion I see," Roxas called to the redhead with a friendly smirk.
"Yeah," said redhead shrugged and put a hand on each of Whynexia's shoulders, whom pulled back without hesitation. "It just get's boring there, y'know?" Roxas just chuckled and shook his head.
Whynexia thought about running back to the platform for the sake of being with someone she actually knew, but when she remembered that creepy Xemnas guy was still up there, she quickly dismissed the idea. She turned around to check the platform to see that Xemnas had miraculously vanished. She gave a quick sigh of relief and ran back up the walkway to Roxas.
"Oh, sorry Whynexia," said savior confessed once Whynexia had gotten up, and gestured a gloved hand to the redhead, "This is Axel. Axel, this is Whynexia. She's 14."
"Oh would you shut up with this '14' stuff! I've had it!" Whynexia snapped, patience long lost, "I'm not going to be a part of your stupid Organization!"
A/N: -nervous laugh- forgot the disclaimer last chapter. I don't own anyone from the Organization such as Axel, Roxas, Xemnas, etc. or Kingdom Hearts (but boy, I wish I did). I only own Whynexia. She is mine, she is all I claim. Ok, done with that for now.
Axel hath arrived! And he freaks Whynexia out, but she's got a lot coming on her at once, can you blame her for wanting to get out of there? I'll work in a 'got it memorized' at some point or another, please don't hurt me! –bows- More to come! Two parts of the love triangle are present; the third will come in a couple chapters or so. See you in the next chapter!
