We slowly walked and savored the time we had. I still couldnt belive this was happening to me though, it was like a nightmare that I wasnt waking up from. Me and Jen packed up my stuff, it wasnt much, just some clothes and a few books, the rest of my stuff belonged to the castle, my lap top and electronics-MAH I-POD, the awesome little plushies and note books. I really didnt want to see Ansem but Jennifer insisted that I do.

"Sydnee, please just go see him, he said it was important, maybe he changed his mind!" She urged me to go to his office, I couldnt say no to anyone, that was one of my weaknesses.

"But Jennifer-" I began to explain to her that Ansem didnt change his mind-ever-and we both knew that.

"Dont call me butt Jennifer-" We laughed a little.

"Ok, Jennifer, you and I both know Ansem never changes his mind, once he decides on something there is no turning back." I was trying to think of another good excuse, because she wouldnt loose this fight with me, she would find a way to get me to see him, weither by force or not.

She shook her head as she steerd me to his office, "What about that one time last year, he decided to use purple for the castle colors but changed his mind to use orange."

See, she got me, "That was one time! I dont wanna." I folded my arms and planted my feet firmly to the ground.

"Dont make me slap you." She took off her glove threatingly.

I narrowed my eyes, she wouldnt start a slap fight with me...or would she? I backed away a bit as she drew back her glove, any second now, she was getting closer, those gloves did hurt, "OK. Fine, you win. I'll go see him...cheater..." She put her glove back on with a victory smile.

"Alright, off you go. I'll wait out here." She leaned against the wall and took out her drawing book, "You might be a while...I dunno though..." She started scetching so I took that as my cue to step into the office.

"Master Ansem?" The office was unusually dark, "You called me, before you say anything, I just wanted to say I'm sorry, I know that doesnt help anything but its the thought that counts, right?" It was silent, really quiet.

I was starting to leave when someone grabbed my shoulder, "Dont make a sound."

I spun around to see a crimson haired guy, he had brilliant emerald eyes and was tall. He didnt scare me, only shocked me, I had never seen him before, "Who are you?" I asked in my quiet calm voice.

"The names Axel, got it memorized?" He pointed to his head, but didnt release his grip on my arm.

"Axel, you wanna let go?" I yanked on my arm but he only tightened his grip.

He shook his head with a small laugh, "No can do..."

"Well shit. Let me go right now or I will be forced to fight you." I threatened him as I tried to shake my arm free, he had a strong grip.

"I thought you could have at least made this easy on me..." He let me go and I immeadiatly held my hand out for my bow.

He stood there and held his arms out, chakrams appeared in his hands and there was a mischevious glint in his eyes. Flames bust up around the room and I jumped up, they were dangerously close to me. I didnt want to shoot him just yet, so I shot the arrow off to the side, it split into three and whistled past his head. He jumped but seemed unfazed by the near death occurence. He threw fire at me and I blocked it with my illusional mirrors. He looked like he was having fun, as if fighting me was only to pass the time. I aimed at him and shot three arrows, he burned them in mid air, "Wha...?" No one has been able to do that before, my arrows...

He smiled, "Dont worry, this wont hurt...to much..."

There was an explosion of fire-needless to say, I blacked out.

I shook my head and was seeing stars, well actually I couldnt see anything, "Jennifer?" I mumbled as I reached for the blindfold.

"Nope." I could here a girls voice above me, but the blindfold wouldnt budge.

The voice was unfamiliar and sort of shushed, "I cant get this stupid blindfold to come off..." I tugged at it and tugged, but it just wouldnt budge, "Could you help me?"

"Nope, that isnt an ordinary blindfold, you see-well not see but you know what I mean-I had one too, they let me take it off this morning, that must be the one I was wearing, you cant get it off until they say you can."

"Who are you?" I wasnt really concerned about anything right now, just light headed.

"I'm, Terra a new nobody here, and as a new nobody, they cant let me leave this room till I've sworn that I'll join them. Quite frankly, I dont want to be bossed around by some heart obsessed jerk...but latley the offers been looking pretty good...." She was quite for a while.

I rubbed my arm, it felt sorta raw, I winced and withdrew my hand. What happened to me? I decided to ask Terra, "Hey Terra, why am I here?"

"Wha? Oh, well I'm not quite sure exactly, your not a nobody so I dont see any reason to keep you here..."

I didnt know what a nobody was, but the blindfold was really starting to bug me. That didnt help, "Do you know what happened to me?"

"Well, from the looks of it I'd say Axel had some fun before he brought you here, a few burns here and there...not to bad."

"Ok..." Who was Axel...I tried to think back, Axel, Axel...'Got it memorized?' A crimson haired guy with emerald eyes appeared in my mind. Oh yeah, Axel.

I was going to ask her about Axel, but voices were heard coming closer and closer. I got up off the ground, but Terra pushed me back down and warned me to pretend to be asleep right before the door opened. It sounded like three people-no wait-two people came in the room, "Hey Terra. Hows Sydnee holding up?" It was Axels voice, why would he care? "I didnt mean to hurt her so bad, I didnt think fire affected her so bad."

"Axel, she is an ice user, of course it affects her badly, your such an idiot. They should have sent me." It was a familiar voice in a sort of way, but not exactly one I could remember, it was on the tip of my tounge.

"No one told me! So how is she? Still asleep?"

"Yeah." My arm was itching really bad, I wanted to move, but Terra all of the sudden said far to loudly, "Yeah, she is STILL SLEEPING. She ISNT MOVING in any way a not sleeping person would."

I fell still as the room was silent for a second, "Terra are you ok?" It was the second voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Ok, your gunna have to go with Axel now, he's taking you to a new room so when Sydnee wakes up you dont give her any ideas."

Give me ideas? Psh, like I'm crazy enough to try an escape with a blindfold on. What did he mean ice user? I've never used ice before when fighting..."I'm not going to give her any ideas on ESCAPING by going down the hall and to her LEFT and taking the THIRD DOOR on her RIGHT. Why would you think I would tell her to do that?"

Terra was awesome, now I knew what to do, "All right Terra, come on...Are you absolutely sure you dont wanna join?" Axel and Terras voices disappeared down the hall.

"Maybe...I dunno though..." They were gone all together.

I let out a sigh of relief and sat up, "Man, I thought they would never leave, but I dont want to leave Terra here...maybe I can go get her before I leave..." I stood up and felt along the walls to the door, this could take a while. One second my fingers were brushing the cold smooth walls, the next they were feeling a warm leather cloth. I jumped back and heard someone chuckle. Great, I lost the wall and whoever it was that was in there heard my scetchy plan. I felt in front of me for the wall and stumbled over my shoe laces, nearly falling. It was so hard trying to get around when you couldnt see anything and you knew someone was watching, "Gah...this is harded than I thought..." I put my arm out to my side and the wall was practically right next to me, "Oh I found it..."

I went to lean against it when the person said, "I wouldnt put to much pressure there if I were you..."

"Why not?" I took a step forward, tripped on my shoe lace, tried to staedy myself on the wall, but it swung open and I fell.

He caught me before I reached the ground, "Its a door...not a wall."

"Thanks...?" I sat down and tied my shoes so that wouldnt happen again. I probably looked like an idiot. The door closed and I heard it lock with a click, I didnt know if I was alone are not, "Um...is anyone else in here?" It was quiet for a second so I sighed and tried to feel my way around the room again, I found a bed or no, it was a couch, an i-Pod with awesome head phones and a book. Along the walls there was a lot of bookshelves, and there was a lot of pillows in the corners and some bean bags. From what I could tell it was a really cozy room. Well the books were of no use to me obiously, so I felt around for the i-Pod and sat on the couch., "I wonder what kind of-"

"That has a lot of rock music..." The guy who caught me earlier sat down next to me and took the i-Pod, "This is actually mine, considering this is my private library...but you can listen to it if you want, you have nothing better to do..."

I didnt relise he had been in there, was he watching me stumble around the room? That was embarassing, but I took the i-Pod back from him and tuned to face him, "So...whats your name?"

I was getting a little self consious because I had no idea what I looked like, afterall I was still wearing pajamas and had some burn marks on me. I think he picked up the book because I could hear the pages flipping, "I'm Zexion...Do those burns annoy you at all?"

I unconsiously looked down at my arms, now that he mentioned it, they were irritating me. I held one of my burnt arms and winced it was painful and itchy, "Yeah, a bit..."

"I can fix those up for you...be right back..." I felt him leave and I put on the headphones.

"Lets see..." I pressed play and one of my favorite songs began to play, "Oh..." I began to sing along with it, music had its ways of getting to me, "So this is how it feels to suffer? And I had too much to say But it's over now And I'm going down Alone, alone..." I hadnt noticed when Zexion came back, because I was focusing on the music to much.

He tapped me and I jumped a little, I could feel my face turning pink as I took off the headphones. There was humor in his voice as he gently took one of my arms, "I see you like to sing..."

"Yeah..." I didnt exactly know how to act, this was my kidnapper, yet he was being nice to me like I was a guest or something. He seemed nice, I mean he was healing me...still I flet like I should listen to Terra and get the hell out of there as soon as I could, "What do you like to do?"

"Me?" He sounded surprised like no one was ever really interested in what he did.

"Your the only other person in here...right?" I laughed a little, hoping that no one else was in there.

My arm stung for a second, then he wrapped it in a soft cloth, "That should be good by tomorrow..." He grabbed my other arm, "Well...I like to read," That was no surprise to me since this was his private library, "I also like to cook," Wow, I liked to cook too, "Video games are pretty entertaining," Ah, no way reading, cooking and video games? Awesome, "I dont really know, I like to do a lot of diffrent things, most people think I just read all the time..." He put my arm down, "Your all set..."

I flexed my fingers, "Thanks...again." I flashed him a smile, "That feels a lot better." I heard him sigh and walk around a little, "Hey...Zexion..."

"Yeah?" He said this slowly like he had been reading and was only half listening to me.

"Uh-what exactly am I doing here?"

I heard him stop walking and fumble with the book a little, "What are you doing here? Hm, thats a simple question with a complicated answer..."

He trailed off and I turned over the back of the couch to face his voice, "What do you mean?" I could hear the music blaring fom the headphones and I pat around the table till I found it so I could turn it off. He wasnt answering me, "Zexion?..." It was silent, "Did you leave?...Zexion?...Ok then..." I fell back on the couch and sighed, he was either in the room ignoring me or he left me alone. Wait if hes gone, that means I can escape. I mean he was nice to me, but it worried me that he wouldnt answer my question.

I got off the couch, I was going to leave, I would learn to walk with a blindfold, I'll smell my way around, hear my way around-no problem. I was already a suckish fighter, but hey I wouldnt have to fight if I got a nice little job somewhere, maybe I can get a job in a...no I couldnt get a job while I was blind. I thought about this as I clumbsly felt my way to the door. I jiggled the handle, it was locked. That was no problem though, I placed my ear next to the door and took a pin out of my hair....almost there....the door clicked and popped open. I listened intently, it was silent. What had Terra said? Go right then 4th door on my left? No...I went right, I was sure that was what she said, go right...and the third door on my....left, it had to be the third door on my left. Eh, it was a long hall. One door passed me after three minutes of scaling the left wall. One door, I marked this in my head, five minutes later I passed another door. Door two...seven minutes later, door three. This is it...I placed my ear against the door and listened, it was quiet, silent. I slowly opened the door, there was no breeze, but it was colder in there. Maybe I was outside now...no I wasnt, this must have been a lab, it was simliar to the ones in the castle. I could hear things bubbling and someone was talking to themselves.

I walked around slowly letting my fingers brush the counter top. A harsh voice came and I jumped knocking over a few tubes, "Zexion, what are you..." I turned toward the voice and its harshness dropped, "What are you doing out of Zexions private library?"

"I-I was uh-exploring?" I gave him a cheezy smile, that obviously wasnt enough, he grabbed my hair and pulled me off, "Ow...What the hell was that for?!"

"Your not supposed to be out here." He was cold and I pulled away. I heard a door slam and he was yelling in the other room, "ZEXION! WHY ARENT YOU KEEPING AN EYE ON SYDNEE?!?!?!"

They was a loud slap and a few thumps, "Vexen! God, what the hell?! Leave me alone! No-my book! NOOOO." There was a loud rip and it was getting colder.

"You deserved that much."

"I am going to kill you! That was a very intriging book. I hadnt even finished it yet! Now I'll never know what happens to-" There was a loud smack, "God VEXEN! STOP HITTING ME!"

I giggled, I'm sorry but this was to funny to listen to. I backed away from the door as someone stumbled out in a hurry, "VEXEN! I'm going I'm going-Sydnee? How did you-" Another slap, "Vexen, I'm warning you, one more slap and I'm going to show Xemnas what happened to all the oreos..."

"You cant threaten me." Vexen said in a boasting way.

"Oh cant I?" Zexion voice was getting quieter and creepier, "Do you remember Xigbars secret?" Once again quieter and creepier, I was actually getting shivers from his voice, "Oh yes, that was me."

There was an akward silence, "I'm sorry Zexion, wont happen again..."

"Good, I expect a replacement book by tonight." His voice went back to normal, "Lets go Sydnee."

I just stood there, that was creepy, I was still getting scary vibes from around the room. I shook my head, "No..."

"What?"

"Man that was fucking creepy. What the hell did you do?...Neeh." I hugged myself and shook from side to side, uncomfortable vibes.....

"Thats funny."

"Whats funny?" What was so funny about me being creeped out, I did not find it funny.

"I didnt think that would affect you if you couldnt see, sorry about that."

I cringed, "That was messed up, Zexion, just messed up."

"Get out of my lab." Vexen shoved me out.

Ok, so I took the wrong way, I trusted Terra to give me the right directions, I had no reason not to. Zexion and I were heading back to his library when someone grabbed my shoulder, "Hey Sydnee."

I jumped, it was a familiar voice, "Terra?"

"Terra!" Zexion jumped back.

"Yup. Come on, were getting out of here.'

I couldnt tell who was pulling me off or where I was going. I couldnt even tell if I was right side up or not, I just stumbled along and trusted the leader., "Terra? Is that you?"

"No its, Fabio-Of course its me! Hurry up, your so slow."

My arm was hurting from her pulling on me, the bandage was coming off, "Terra...eh, Terra...my bandage is coming off..." It fell to the ground and my arm was burning, "Oh god that hurts."

"Were almost there..."

"But Terra..."

"I'll explain later."

There was a big sound and yells were cut off. It was completly quiet, "Terra...?"

"What?"

She sounded very annoyed, "Terra, whats going on?"

"Ugh do you even know how fucking hard it is to drag a blind person through tight halls while being followed by four very talented fighters while the blind person is complaining?! Fucking hard." I shrank back, she sounded really annoyed.

"I'm sorry..." My arm was pulsing and stinging.

"Its just that..." She was talking and I was trying to listen, but my burns were getting worse.

"Terra?" She kept on talking I held my arm and winced, "Terra..." The pain was filling my body and making me light headed, "Terra..." I knew I was weak, but come on, I couldnt be that weak. Yet the pain overflowed me and gave me a headache, "Ugh..." I dropped to the grond and let my pain overcome me, it was less work.

"Sydnee?! Are you ok?" Terra shook me as I started slipping unconsious.

I dont know why, but all I could think of was Zexion, "Terra, I'm...ok...get...Ze..." Everything in my mind went blank and I passed out.
