The girl stumbled out into the Tram common of Twilight Town, watching the people pass her by. ' Now where to start.'A blonde boy ran past her and caught her eyes. ' I'll start there.' With a burst of light, the world around her and Roxas faded to white, leaving her alone with him.
"What the hell?"
"Ooh, language. I like it."
"Who are you?"
" No one at all, yet the most important person you will meet all day."
"That's not an answer."
"Call me Angel. My master does."
"Who do you work for?"
"Fate. And you are…. Roxas, correct?"
"How do you know that?"
"I work for Fate. This white world allows me to learn everything about you. I know what you remember, Hayner, Pence, and Oulette. I know what you don't remember, your true past." Roxas eyed her, caution evident in his blue eyes.
" This is too weird."
"I get that a lot." The world gained it's color again, and Angel in truth, stood several feet away from him, her eyes turned the other way, watching the rest of the world. ' Roxas, something's coming, be careful. I know your path, I know what you must do.' Angel's voice rang in his mind and he turned to look at her. She smiled at him, and walked off into the town.
'Seriously, this is really getting weird.' Roxas stared after her, curious about this strange young woman. He smirked a bit and followed her, staying a fair distance from her.
'I know you're there, Roxas. I can hear your mind. There's no need for you to hide. Walk with me if you wish.' Roxas caught up to her and she smiled at him.
"You're cute. I'm actually quite fond of you. I like how your mind works." She caught his hand and smiled when he blushed.
"Angel, where did you come from?"
"I came from a place between dimensions, where time means nothing and there is no sound. I'm not alone there though, I have Fate, and she sends me to different worlds to insure things turn out the way they should. You don't belong in this place, so I can tell you." She leaned over and kissed Roxas's cheek, making him blush again.
"Why do they call you Angel?"
"Because I lost my true name when I entered the Void. Fate calls me little angel, so I tell people that my name is Angel."
"Why did Fate choose you?"
"I don't really know. I know I lived a full lifetime in one of the worlds and when I died, my soul was sent to the Void, and I was ordered to assist Fate. I've been waking up in strange worlds ever since."
" Why are you being so nice to me?"
"I think you're cute, and we are a lot alike. Neither of us belongs here, you are a part of someone else, Roxas. The darker side of someone. For your other half to awaken, you must make him whole again, you will be reabsorbed into him, become a part of him once again, and while you will still be present in him, you will no longer have a body of your own." Roxas just stared at her as they walked.
"When does all this happen?"
"In a few days. Enjoy the time you have left, Roxas."
"Where are you going?"
"To check on your other half. Perhaps I can find a clue as to the whereabouts of the man I was sent here to find."
" Who?"
"Riku. I know you don't recognize that name, aside from the dreams you've been having. The people you dream of, all of them are real, the things you see, really happened. Those dreams are the memories of your other half."
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"I thought you wanted to know. I would want to know what I was and what was going to happen to me."
" Thank you."
"You haven't been getting many answers lately. Ask me anything and I will answer it for you."
"What are those things that have been attacking me lately?"
"They're called Dusks. They're a low ranking Nobody, the same brand of being you are, though I refuse to call a thinking, speaking thing by such an awful name. It makes you seem, less alive. They are slaves to a group of powerful nobodies, calling themselves Organization XII, of which you used to be a member, now before you react to that bit of information, they're not entirely evil, their cause is good, they just want to be whole, but they've been going about it in all the wrong ways."
"What do you mean?"
"They use people, to collect hearts."
" And what part do I play in all this?"
"You are the other piece to a powerful human that can stop them, Sora. He played a huge part in the events of the last year or two, killed a few very powerful very evil things. And stopped the hostile takeover bid the darkness was waging in this world."
"You know a lot about a place you've never been before."
"I watch, and I listen, you see the Void is connected to all the dimensions, I've been watching the wars in this one for a while now. I find this place quite interesting. But I have not been allowed to come here until now. I have been watching you for a while now."
"And what have you seen?"
"I saw your birth, when Sora split, if it's any consolation, I like you better. I like your rage. He's too nice, his emotions are to unbalanced. You're closer to normal, you have hatred."
"But I'm too nice too."
"Not like he is. You can be angry. He can't. Not yet. When you become part of Sora once again, I want you to lend him some of your darkness."
"what do you mean?"
" you aren't all light like he is. You have some shadow to you, you're closer to the average human."
"If I'm not a whole person, if I'm only half, why do you talk to me like I am?"
" I won't treat you like you are less than human when you act more human than Sora did."
" There are these two… people.."
"Axel and Diz. They both speak the truth. You and Axel were very close, you were the only person he cared about, when you were still with the Organization. I would go as far as to say that he loved you. Though I can't tell if the feeling was mutual. When all this is over, perhaps you can be with him."
"and Diz?"
" he's not who he says he is. But his cause is noble, he's trying to wake Sora. I promise, you will get to see Axel again if you cooperate with Diz. I will make sure of it."
"Promise?"
"yeah. And I never break a promise."
"what do I have to do?"
"come with me. I will lead you down your path, through the events that will reunite you with Sora. You may lose yourself within him for a moment, but I will still be able to speak to you, because I have touched your mind. Don't be afraid, you will not be alone. I will linger on, I will speak to you, and when this is over, I will give you your own body. I will do the same for Axel, when the time comes." Roxas smiled at her, and she kissed his cheek again, laughed at his blush, and pulled him down the street by his hand.
" come on, your friends are waiting on you."
I hope you like this chapter a bit better, I tried to make this longer. Sending me reviews will make me write faster! Thanks!
