Chapter 3: Dt3 Rp3 5ty133! (www . youtube . com/watch?v=JkGDrkLFMrM)
Memo: If you can even read that...dundundundundundundun! Definitely learned how to play the beginning of this on my trumpet. Rock on! :D Warning: If you hate Lexaeus, you'll hate him even MORE after this chapter.
Eden's Pov
Zexion and I finally reached Lexaeus. He stood there, arms crossed, looking formidable as always. He stared at me for a moment, and I raised an eyebrow and stepped a little closer to Zexion. He won the award for biggest creeper in Castle Oblivion. I'm sure he would've been honored, sadly.
"Where did Vexen go?" Lexaeus asked, frowning. I felt like asking, "WHY DO YOU CARE?" But I didn't.
"He's off using Riku's data to create some kind of replica," Zexion replied. I frowned, narrowing my eyes. So...Riku was a sort of experiment now. How...sad... Of course, at this point, I hadn't even met the kid, but...who wants to suffer?
"And what of Sora?"
"Namine is shuffling his memories as we speak. Marluxia may well get his puppet. He's a danger to us all. Larxene's not to be trusted, either." I smirked.
"And you trust me?" I asked, chuckling. Zexion glared at me. "Apparently not."
For some unknown reason...I was truly a little surprised. Other than the fact that I HATED the Organization and had attempted my share of escapes, I hadn't done much to make him distrust me, had I? I didn't think so. I still don't.
"Nor is Axel. Who knows what that one is thinking..."
"Amen," Zexion and I said in unison. I sighed a little. But I couldn't talk. I barely even knew Axel.
But Axel definitely seemed like one of those types of people-okay, NOBODIES-who are huge butt-kissers. Brown-noser. Whatever term you prefer. But it was hard to tell who exactly Axel was kissing up to in the first place.
"Let's observe a little longer, then speak with Vexen," Zexion added, glancing over at me.
"But Vexen despises Marluxia. Think of the mess it would create..."
"Wow, to think the two gay guys hate each other..."
"Silence, Denex," Zexion hissed. "That's why Vexen must be told. Better he clean up the mess than us."
What a lazy attitude these two possessed then. It was then I REALLY realized how disorganized the Organization was. It was just a group of people-NOBODIES, sorry-lumped together, but they all had their reasons for doing what they did. They were NOT a team. At least, not in Castle Oblivion.
"True... Zexion, if I may, I'd like to speak with Denex alone, please," Lexaeus said, eyeing me suspiciously. I swallowed hard. This wasn't good. I didn't like Fatty. I never had any interest in him. But he showed some in me.
Although as a Nobody I had lost my super sixth sense for vanity and sexuality, I still knew something was up.
"Sure, do whatever you want. She knows too much anyway." And with that, Zexion exited through a portal, leaving me alone with Fatty.
Gee, thanks a f*cking lot, Zexion.
"So...?"
Lexaeus smiled a little, then suddenly I dropped to my knees. Something in the earth was pulling me down to the ground, an unseen force. Fantabulous.
"Nnn!" A storm of rocks slammed me into the wall, and I fell on my back onto the floor. What was going on? Then I realized...Lexaeus was doing this! My eyes widened in horror as he slowly approached me.
"You freaking lecher!" I shouted, backing away as far as possible. He smirked, throwing another wave of rocks at me, which somehow, I managed to dodge by running like a maniac out of the room and down the hallway.
All I could hear was my own panting. I was tearin' it up!
Then I finally reached a quiet room, where I collapsed down on the ground.
My mistake.
In a split second, Lexaeus entered the room through a portal, summoned a huge wave of earth, and trapped me in midair, feet dangling. My entire torso was trapped, from my shoulders down to my hips.
"So," he said calmly.
"What am I, your catch?" I snapped, staring him down.
"Calm down. You're fine now," he assured me.
"That's nice, 'cause you aren't!"
As swiftly as I could manage, I reared back and spit in his face with a ton of phlegm. The power holding me captive seemed to lessen, and I broke through the rocks. But when I dropped to the floor, I didn't land as gracefully as I had hoped, and I literally fell on my butt. By this time, I had NO time. Lexaeus had wiped the loogie off, and he made his next move.
This time, he got smart. He decided to stick me in a mummy-like case, with all of my limbs bound, and there I was, lying on the floor. Helpless, because this time, I couldn't spit. Unless I wanted to choke and die on dirt.
"Denex?"
I knew if I had had a heart, it would've been pounding.
Trust me, I had dealt with ruthless guys before, but none of them possessed power over earth.
"Don't you want to know what we were going to have you do?" he murmured into my ear.
Seriously thought I was going to burn through the dirt with the acid stinging my throat right then. My only hope was that Zexion hadn't gone too far, or...I might be able to reach him mentally!
ZEXION! I screamed in my mind. HEEELLP MEEE!
Zexion walked down the hallways of Castle Oblivion's basement, wondering what Lexaeus was talking to Denex about. What would he want with her? Surely he wasn't going to give everything away, was he?
Suddenly a jolt of pain-or whatever, since he technically couldn't "feel" pain-throbbed in his head. Something was wrong. Seriously wrong. Then it struck him. It must be Denex, getting into trouble with someone, most likely Vexen. Zexion sprinted down the hallways, gradually making his way back to where he was moments ago.
Eden's Pov
I gasped for breath as Lexaeus slowly caressed every inch of my body, saying "Don't you want to know, Denex?" over and over again. *breath*!
Of all the freaking people!
GOSH!
It couldn't have been someone easy to fight off, like Vexen. Or someone attractive, like Zexion.
HECK, I WOULD'VE RATHER DEALT WITH LARXENE!
Oh, geez, I thought, squeezing my eyes shut. Let this be a dream...and if it isn't SEND HELP!
Suddenly everything went black. I had still had some conciousness left, but...not enough to last to see what was going on.
"Denex?" Zexion shouted, finally reaching the hallway. "Denex?" The feeling (OR WHATEVER) was growing larger. Something was terribly wrong. He finally reached the room were Lexaeus and Denex had been. He gasped, and his eyes widened in horror.
There, lying on the floor, was Denex. Her robe was unzipped all the way, and her shirt underneath was ripped wide open. Not just ripped open in a metaphorical sense. This was ripped apart, ripped open. In fact, practically her whole body was exposed except for her lower legs, her feet, her lower arms, and her hands. Zexion closed his eyes tightly, hoping the image was a hallucination, but when he opened his eyes, Denex was still there. She appeared to be unconcious.
"Denex?" Zexion whispered, slowly approaching her. He noticed decent sized rocks around her, and his eyes narrowed in realization. That son of a mother-! Did he seriously...?
"No," Zexion muttered. There's no way Lexaeus would do something like this. But...WAIT! There were small cuts on Denex's shoulders. It looked as though rocks had been thrown at her. AHA! So it WAS him! "He will pay..."
Lexaeus KNEW Denex was Zexion's responsibility, and that if anything happened to her, it was his head. So Lexaeus was trying to eliminate him after all...
Zexion slowly knelt beside the unconcious Denex and closed her shirt and pulled her robe into place. After zipping up the front of her robe, he picked her up and opened a portal. Lexaeus would pay for this...
+++The Next Day...+++
Eden's Pov
I slowly opened my eyes, afraid of what I would see. Luckily, it wasn't Lexaeus. Zexion stood over me, looking furious.
"Tell me, Denex," he hissed. "Who did this to you?"
"..." I was silent. I didn't want him to worry about it.
"Who was it?" he repeated.
I closed my eyes again, sitting up. A false tear rolled down my cheek. False tears, that's what they were.
You see...a Nobody could cry, but it would mean nothing. A Nobody could laugh, but it would be empty and meaningless. So it goes.
"Denex!"
My eyes shot open, and I looked at Zexion. His blue-violet eyes were narrowed to slits, and his mouth formed a tight, straight line.
"Tell me."
"I..."
"Denex, this is serious."
"I...can't..."
Zexion stared at me for a moment.
"I don't know who to trust."
"...Fine."
Zexion stormed off. I wondered if he was suspicious of anyone. What would he do if he found out? I was his responsibility, after all.
But I couldn't follow him and find out. I didn't have the guts...because I was about to barf them out!
Okay, okay...
That was ridiculous!
I'll admit it:
As a regular girl, I was what one would call...a tease. I found it my calling in life to lead guys on, then yank myself away and move on just before it got too serious.
And here...I had been violated. I still don't remember how badly...thanks to my falling unconcious...but I know it could've been worse. Yes...Lexaeus would probably be back for more.
But I would be ready! I knew his tricks now. I just had to learn a way to counter them.
Easier said than done...
