The camp was a lot bigger then Roxas had thought. Not only did Oblivion Summer Camp have a huge mess hall but there were several other buildings including a pool and a performance stage. It had horse stables, a greenhouse and a boat shed for the canoes and a boat large enough to hold about 50 people. There were posters and advertisements everywhere showing what activities and groups the campers could join. Sora was imagining himself doing everything and shared all his made up scenarios with Roxas.
The actual camp grounds were well groomed and up kept and every group of cabins had its own fire pit. Other campers had already started to light fires in them and roast marshmallows, there was even a group jamming with instruments and other stage props such as a large plastic horse and a science lab skeleton. In amongst the actors, singers and musicians was Riku, who was chatting was a small red haired girl. Sora noticed the silver haired boy and ran over the greet him.
"Riku! Rikuuu! Hey!"A bright smile came to his lips and he moved over on the log he was sitting on so that Sora could sit down too. Roxas followed his cousin at a slower more cautious pace. He didn't want to interrupt the groups' fun.
"Hey Sora, good to see your having fun already." Riku said as Sora took his place beside him.
"Yeah this place is really great! There's so much to do here I can't wait to get started. What are you thinking about doing?" Roxas came and stood beside the brunette. The girl Riku was talking to before Sora came along started to sing as the song everyone was playing changed.
"Haha isn't it a bit obvious…I'm one of the theater junkies. We live to perform!" There were cheers of agreement and Sora giggled. "This camp has one of the best drama programs available outside of school and theater kids get in second when it comes to buying tickets for the bands and live shows." Roxas looked over at him confused.
"Who gets in first?" He asked. A young blond girl who was drawing in a sketch book looked-up and smiled at the three boys.
"The sports lovers and the councillors do…which is pretty much the same thing." She said in a soft voice. "I'm Namine by the way." Roxas returned her smiled with a wide grin.
"I'm Roxas and this is So-"
"Sora…yea Riku's been talking about you guys." Sora looked over at Riku surprised.
"You have?" Riku looked away and shrugged. The band stopped playing and the redhead from before came over to sit with them. She looked exactly like Namine except different hair color and different clothes.
"Hey Riku…are these the guys you met on the train?" She looked at the two cousins and smiled. "You guys twins too?"
"Kairi this is Sora and Roxas, they're cousins…Roxas and Sora this is Kairi, Namines twin sister and my bitchy ex girl-." Kairi smacked the back of his head.
"Anyways, this must be your first time coming to this camp. Have you decided what you want to get into well your here?" Roxas shrugged and Sora beamed.
"Everything! I want to try everything here!" Kairi giggled and Riku patted Sora on the shoulder.
"Well good luck with that, many have tried and none have succeeded." Soras smile fell and he looked at Riku with big eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"You'll see soon enough." Namine said. The group of five sat in silence for a moment. Roxas turned his attention to the large blue lake across the camp ground from them; he had to admit it was very nice to look at.
"Um…where'd everyone go?" Sora said breaking the silence. The group looked around, it seemed like everyone in the camp had disappeared.
"Dinner!" Shouted Kairi. "Where going miss it! I can't miss it! I'm starving!" Everyone jumped to their feet and started off at a sprint towards the mess hall.
Axel sat quietly at the councillors table listening to Demyx and Zexion argue about what kind of pizza was the best. Larxene and Marlexia had their heads together whispering about something and Saix was trying his hand at one of Luxords card games. Further down the long table was Xemnas, he was preoccupied with trying to charm himself some company for tonight. Out of all 179 campers he managed to get the best looking girls…and guys the camp had to offer. He was the slickest kind of playboy. Axel snorted to himself and then scanned the room to see if anything caught his eye. He'd snatch it up before Xemnas got his chance.
Before he had a chance to scan the whole lodge, five very flustered looking teens burst through the mess hall doors. Axel recognized Kairi, Namine and Riku but the others two must have been new. He studied the two new comers and knew he had seen the blonde before. He was the one staring at him at the opening ceremony. Xemnas looked at them and scowled, Axel knew there would be hell to pay for coming late to a meal.
"Why are you late?" His voice silenced all conversation in the lodge. The brunette with the brightly colored shorts hid behind what looked to be his blonde twin. "We might not have very many rules here but that doesn't mean you run around doing whatever the hell you want." Xemnas stood up from his seat and walked closer to the group.
"We're sorry Xemnas….we lost track of the time." Namine said in a small frightened voice. "It won't happen again."
"Well leave it to the art freaks to ruin a good meal. I'll expect to see all 5 of you in the head office before you go to sleep tonight." Xemnas looked at them and when his eyes fell on Sora and Roxas he chuckled. "Great another set of twins, just what this camp needs."
"We are not twins for christ sake!" Axel's green eyes widened at the blondes outburst. "Were cousin's…." he finished as he looked straight into Xemnas's pricing yellow eyes. No one ever dared talk back to him; it looked like he would have to learn a hard lesson.
"What's your name brat?" Xemnas's voice was calm...too calm.
"Roxas." He answered without looking away. This was quickly turning into a starring contest.
"Well Roxas you just errand yourself dishes duty. After you're finished in the kitchen come and see me." With that Xemnas left the lodge and Roxas with a look of complete shock and anger on his face. Demyx tapped Axel's shoulder.
"Did you see that Axel?" He asked in a quiet voice. He looked extremely afraid.
"No I missed the whole thing… you dumbass of course I saw it I'm sitting right here!"
"I've never seen Xemnas act like that…usually he would have just back handed the lot and gone off to brag about it to one of his camp whores."
"I know…that poor kid is going to get his ass kicked." Axel couldn't help but feel bad for the poor guy, he had no idea what was coming. Xemnas was someone you didn't mess with and it was practically suicidal to talk back to him like he did. The lodge slowly filled with conversation again, Axel watched the group –particularly the one named Roxas - find a table where they all could sit and wondered just what Xemnas was going to do.
Roxas sat down at the large wooden table and scowled. How did this happen? They hadn't even been here for 5 hours and already the camp head hated him. To make matters worse that redhead from before had been watching him like a hawk the whole time. Namine touched his arm.
"We are so sorry Roxas…we didn't mean to make you and Sora late. We should have been paying more attention." Roxas shook his head.
"Don't worry about it; I shouldn't have lost my temper with him." Kairi laughed loudly causing several people to stare at them.
"No one has ever talked to him like that. It was amazing; I bet he was so shocked." Riku pushed her.
"Still I'm pretty sure I told you guys to avoid them not provoke them." Roxas looked down at his plate…he wasn't very hungry anymore. Who know Xemnas would be so tight on the rules? Sora rubbed his back.
"Roxas…if you want I'll come help you with the dishes. I fell kind of responsible…"
"Sora the only way you would be responsible for this situation is if you made yourself look like my twin and then somehow made my anger get the best of me, and then made that yellow eyed jerk freak out. I'll be fine so don't worry about it. You guys still have to go see him too." Roxas said as he poked his pizza with a fork. The rest of the meal went excruciatingly slow. And by the time everyone had cleared out of the mess hall and the dishes had been gathered up it was almost nine o'clock. He said his good-byes to everyone and went to the kitchen to begin his punishment.
The mountain of plates, bowls and cutlery that greeted him when he walked into the kitchen made him want to cry. How was he ever going to do this without any help? A loud snort made him jump and spin around. There standing behind him was the redhead Axel. Roxas put his hand on his chest and sighed.
"You scared the shit of out me! What the fuck!" He yelled.
"What makes you think you shouldn't be scared still?" Axel said casually. Roxas straightened himself and glared back.
"Did you come to make fun of me or help with this?" He pointed to 8 foot wall of plates.
"Neither actually. I just wanted to meet the first person to be murdered at this summer camp." Roxas frowned and then turned and started to fill the sink with hot, soapy water. If Axel wasn't there to help him then there was no need to carry on this conversation. "What you think I'm joking little man? I've known Xemnas for a long time and anyone who talks to him the way you did gets a solid beating"
"Uh huh, sure they do…what did they say your name was again?…oh right, Asshole…or was it Axel?…oh well they both referrer to the same person. If you're done talking can you kindly excuse yourself? I've got a lot to do and I don't really have time to be listening to your bullshit stories." Roxas lowered a stack of plates into the sink and began to wash them. Axel laughed.
"Wow your pretty hot blooded for a little guy. I'm not sure if anyone's ever told you this before but if you don't have the strengthen to back the things up you say then you shouldn't run your mouth. Got it memorized?" he said as he pointed to his head.
"And I'm not sure anyone's ever told you this but shut the hell up." Roxas was not in the mood for this guy; his patient was growing very thin.
"Easy Blondie, I'm not sure it's possible for you to die twice but I'd sure like to find out."
"I have a name. And I can guarantee you it's not little guy or Blondie."
"Well pardon my French but I don't give a rats ass."
"You're not excused." There was a long pause before either spoke.
"Cut the attitude, you're lucky I'm so forgiving because I could easily break every bone in that girly body of yours." Axel sounded notably serious.
"Your still here eh?" Roxas sighed. This nightmare would be a lot better if Axel would just leave him the hell alone. When there was no answer, Roxas looked over his shoulder to see if the older teen had finally gotten the point. To his dismay Axel hadn't left; in fact he was starring right at the back of Roxas' head. His beautiful green eyes burning into his. The two small tattoos under each of his eerie green pools were slightly crinkled as he smirked.
Roxas turned back to the sink and continued to wash dish after dish after dish. Axel would occasionally snicker at something which would cause Roxas to whip his head around and glare. The pile of unclean plates stared to get smaller and smaller until finally it was gone. Roxas unplugged the sink and dried his hands on his shorts.
Now all he had to do was go see Xemnas, find out what the rest of his punishment was and then he would be able to sleep. Hopefully in the morning everything would be forgotten and he could get on with his miserable summer in hells summer camp. Axel followed him out of the kitchen and across the mess hall floor. What was with his guy?
"So now not only are you extremely annoying but you are also a stalker…what a great combination." Roxas snapped as he turned around to face Axel.
"Actually I was sent to make sure you followed through with what Xemnas said." Well that did make more sense but Roxas still found it very unnerving.
"Your service is no longer necessary, I'm going to the head office right now….Isn't there anything else you could be doing?" Axel smiled and shrugged.
"Yeah there's loads of stuff I could be doing right now but unlike you I'm smart enough to avoid those duties and not piss off Mansex." Roxas rolled his eyes and continued his walk to the office. It wasn't very far from the main lodge and Roxas noticed that it was just a larger version of the cabins the campers slept in. Axel followed Roxas across the cut grass. He was seriously getting worried about this guy; he didn't even look scared at all. Was he expecting a slap on the wrist and a few harsh words? This was Xemnas, not Santa Claus.
"Uh...just a second little guy-" Axel wasn't sure if he could let Roxas just walk straight into his own death, but he was interrupted.
"Listen my name is not little guy! It's Roxas! ROX-AS!" He said before continuing to walk toward the cabin.
"Well Rocks-ass I'm not sure you understand the severity of this situation."
"I don't care! I just want to get this over with so I can sleep in a nice warm bed." Axel put a hand to his face and sighed, what was with this guy? Roxas marched up to the cabin door and started to pound on it as hard as he could. When there was no answer he started to use both hands and a foot. "Xemnas! I'm done!"
"Ack! What are you doing-" Before Axel could stop Roxas's loud banging and yelling the door whipped open and there it stood a very unhappy shirt less Xemnas. He glared at Roxas. Roxas glared back and Xemnas turned his attention to Axel.
"Thank you for making sure he didn't skip out Axel. You can leave now." Axel bit his lip, what would someone besides him do in this situation. When nothing came to mind he just nodded and turned to leave. "As for you, you little shit head. Come with me." Xemnas grabbed a hand full of Roxas's spiky hair and pulled him into the cabin slamming the door behind them.
"Ow let go! Let me go!" Roxas yelled as he clawed at the bigger teen's wrist. Xemnas threw Roxas into a nearby chair.
"Roxas, Roxas, Roxas…what am I going to do with you. It seems like you're very fond of punishment. Is that it? Do you want me to punish you?" Xemnas growled and smacked Roxas across the face. Roxas went to retaliate but Xemnas held his arms to the chair. "I wouldn't do that if I was you. You need to think about the position you're in right now. I bet your mother would just love to have my friends come visit her, and talk with her…touch her...taste her." He whispered cruelly.
"You better not touch her! If you do I'll-"
"You'll what? Kill me? Sorry to burst you bubble but that's not going to happen….but if not your mother then how about that cute little brunette you were with. I'd even go visit him personally. How does that sound?" Roxas glared into Xemnas's evil face, he wanted nothing more than to hit him. If his hands weren't being held down then he defiantly would.
"Sora didn't do anything. It has nothing to do with him." Xemnas smirked and leaned closer to Roxas.
"Then I'll tell you want Roxas, since you don't want your mom and your twin involved….what are you going to do for me?" His mouth was rubbing against Roxas' ear. It was making him feel sick.
"I'll…be-behave?"
"It's a little late for that….I know, how about you become the Organization's dog. Do whatever I say whenever I say it. If you promise you'll do that than your family won't even know I exist." Roxas felt Xemnas' tongue lick his earlobe and it was all he could do not to puke right then and there.
"N-no…I won't." He whimpered.
"Well that's just too bad…I guess I'll just go get Sora and see what he says." Xemnas pulled away and let go of Roxas's arms. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone, pressed a few buttons and held it to his ear. "Vexen can you go get-"
"NO! Ok I'll do it! Whatever you want I swear, just don't get Sora involved!" There was no way Roxas was going to let get Sora into this mess, not as long as he could help it. Xemnas smiled and snapped the phone shut.
"Good to hear! I'll see you around then." Roxas couldn't believe this. What kind of sick person let a guy like this run a summer camp for people's children? How did he even get into this mess in the first place…what was he going to do? He stood up slowly and walked to the door. Xemnas smirked. "And please stay out of trouble; next time I have to punish you it won't be as nice as tonight." Nice? By what stretch of the imagine would tonight's punishment be considered nice? Roxas didn't want to even think about it. The door was closed behind him and he stood in front of it in a complete daze. What did he just agree too?
The walk back to his cabin was quiet and dark. Roxas tripped on a stump and cut his leg and hands. He didn't care though, his whole body was numb. Even his mind was blank. When he finally stumbled into his dark cabin it was a quarter to 12. Sora was snoring and it looked like Riku had fallen asleep on their couch. He made his way to Sora's bed and sat down. Roxas was careful not the wake him up. As long as nothing bad happened to Sora or his family, he was going to be ok. No matter what Xemnas made him do. Hopefully.
There was a soft knock on his door; Roxas figured it was Riku's cabin buddy coming to get him. When he opened the door he was shocked and annoyed to see Axel who was looking slightly uneasy and was about to say something before Roxas cut him off.
"What the hell do you want?" He snapped as he stepped out of the cabin and shut the door behind him.
"Uh well…I just came to see if you were still….or not…and you are so I guess I better get going…" He turned to walk away but Roxas grabbed his arm.
"Stop wasting my fucking time and tell me why you really came." Axel's green eyes narrowed.
"You know I'm getting really sick of your attitude. I told you why I came now let me go." He yanked his arm away.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you say he was like that! You could have given me some sort of warning." Axel looked at the short blonde dumbfounded.
"Your joking right…I tried to tell you that you didn't understand how bad this situation was! Don't make this my fault you little brat!" Roxas was slammed up against the side of his cabin, Axel bend forward so they were eye level. "Maybe next time you'll listen to me!"
"There isn't going to be a next time! It's too late, he's going to-" Roxas stopped screaming, he didn't have to explain himself to this clown. "Why does it matter to you anyways, your already his lap dog right? Just leave me alone." With that he went back into the cabin and shut the door. Axel stood there for a moment still fuming. Who did this little punk ass think he was, his attitude was still horrible even after Xemnas had gotten to him. Well that was all fine to Axel. He wouldn't concern himself with that little bastard's problems. He stocked away hoping he never had to see the blonde bruised face again.
