Well, that's it, on with the chapter!
-x-x-x-
I squinted to see but as much as I tried I couldn't.
"Hey Roxas, are you okay," the familiar voice came and sighed. Zexion had came, and probably Demyx too.
"Fine," I answered. Hey, I can't move my arms or legs but I can talk, positive one, negative my life, and the winner is… ah never mind.
"We need to leave now," I heard Axel yell while someone tied something around my arm.
"That should hold for now," Zexion said.
"Great," I heard Axel say and then I was thrown over someone's shoulder.
"Hey, easy, that hurts," I told him.
"Hey, your fault," So it was Axel, figures.
"How is it my fault," I asked.
"Should have dodged the bullet," he told me. I was about to say something else when something else hit me, figuratively this time.
"Namine, where's Namine," I asked.
"Who," there's Demyx's voice.
"Namine, the girl," I said.
"Right over there," Zexion answered. Oh, yeah I'm just going to turn and look over where you're pointing, oops, I can't move, and he's supposed to be the smart one.
"Zexion, I can't really look where you're pointing right now," I told him.
"I'm right here," Namine's voice came and something inside me was relieved.
"Okay, so, what happened to Xigbar and Marluxia," I asked after we had been walking for a little while and I had just thought about how easy it had been to walk away like that. Hey, this poison is messing with my memory or I would have normally already known.
"We knocked them out," Zexion answered.
"Roxas, as soon as you can move, exercise because if you plan on this happening again, you might want to weigh less, or I'm just leaving you," Axel told me.
"Why don't you work out more, I'm normal size for my age," I answered.
"Maybe in weight, but not in height," Axel said with a small laugh.
"Hey, I think the cave is opening up," Zexion told us.
"Then can we take a break," Demyx asked and I heard someone hit the cave floor.
"Sure, but just while I get the poison out and finish bandaging Roxas' shoulder," Zexion told him. "Axel, you can put him down now," Zexion said.
"Gently," I told him when he was about to drop me.
"Ah, that's no fun," he said as he put me down where I was sitting with my back against the wall. I could now see that Zexion and Demyx had flashlights. Demyx had sat his up in the middle to where it was lighting up everyone's faces. I gritted my teeth as I felt Zexion take the bandage of.
"This is going to burn but it will kill any poison that the dart put in your blood system," he told me and an instant later I felt a searing pain go through my shoulder and travel down my arm. I felt some tears come to my eyes but pushed them back, yes, I was almost crying, but lets see you get shot with a poison dart and then get some sort of liquid poured into it that makes your arm feel like it had third degree burns, if you last through that and don't even almost cry, then you can say you're stronger then me.
"Stop moving, I'm almost done," Zexion snapped. What could he mean stop moving, that stuff…wait a second, I was moving! I tried to keep still while he wrapped the last of the bandage and then tied it so it would stay.
"Great, now can we get moving, I want to put as much space between us and them as soon as possible," Axel told us.
"Okay, but I think we have a problem," Demyx told us. I looked over to where he was shining his flashlight to see Namine asleep.
"She must have just fallen over asleep," Zexion said. He was right, we were trained to be able to stay up days at a time with no sleep and still be able to perform at top level, but she hadn't had the training we had.
"Well I'm not carrying her, my arms are killing me," Axel said.
"I will," I told them.
"I don't think that's too smart with that shoulder Roxas," Zexion told me.
"I'll be fine, we have to get moving and she needs her sleep, it's a win, win situation," I told them picking Namine up bridal style. With that we walked out of the cave into the cool night air.
"Where should we go," I asked as we were walking.
"We have to get Namine back to her dad, but we can't reveal that it was us who kidnapped her in the first place," Zexion told.
"And how are we supposed to do that," Axel asked.
"Well, we could say that we saw some guys taking her into a field and we saved her and then we would be heroes. Then that would require that Namine went along with it," Zexion said.
"She doesn't even know that her dad thinks she's dead," I said quietly.
"You're going to have to tell her some day," Demyx told me.
"I think I'll wait until she wakes up," I said. I really didn't want to tell her, she might hate me for not telling her, which would mean if I waited longer then she would hate me more. Right about then she started to groan and her eyes opened. I almost dropped her when she started to scream but Axel's hand quickly covered her mouth.
"I thought we had gone over the, you scream we die thing," Axel said and she mumbled something under Axel's hand.
"What was that," I asked as Axel pulled his hand away.
"Sorry, I thought I had been dreaming everything before," she said.
"Look Namine, I have to tell you something," better now then never. Personally I thought never would be better but then everyone would hate me, so now it is!
"What would that be," she asked.
"Your dad thinks you're dead," I told her. She looked at me shocked for a moment and then I saw tears start to come up. "But we have a plan and we're going to take you back, but you have to go along with everything we say," I told her and she nodded. I looked over at Zexion who nodded.
"Okay, here's what we do."
-x-x-x-
I walked toward the city with carrying Namine with my friend's right behind me. I hoped so bad Zexion was right.
"Don't worry Roxas, it will work," I heard Namine mumble but she never opened her eyes. I then started at a hard run toward the town. Good thing Namine's dad had so many stationed outside the town or I would have probably had to run forever to find a soldier.
"Whoa, slow down there, what's the rush," one of the soldiers asked.
"This girl, she needs help," I told them.
"Hey, isn't that the president's daughter," another one said.
"Wasn't she killed," another asked.
"Where did you find this girl," the first asked.
"These guys in black coats, she was fighting against them and one hit her and that's when we jumped in and saved her," Axel answered.
"Get me a medic unit down here ASAP," one of the soldiers yelled into a speaker.
"You boys come with us, I think that some people have some questions for you," he told us and we nodded.
"Is that how that happened," another asked. Oh yeah, we had undone the bandage on my arm to make it look a little more realistic and now it was bleeding a little but not too bad. Right about that time a vehicles came to a stop at the gate and I watched as some men rushed out.
"You guys go with them," one of the soldiers told us. I saw one of the men take Namine out of my arms and lay her on a stretcher. I felt a slight shove and I followed Namine into one of the vehicles and Zexion got in the same as me while Axel went with Demyx. As we rode somewhere they started to redo the bandage my arm. I gritted my teeth as more pain come. Why have I been in a lot of that lately?
"Stop jerking or you're going to make it worse," the man warned me and I tried to keep still. I was surprised how fast and well he did it, he made Vexen look like a kid in the medical field. Right about the time he was finished the vehicle came to a stop and they pulled Namine out on the stretcher and we jumped out too. They rushed her into the hospital but some people stopped us.
"You'll have to wait in the waiting room," he told us and we nodded and left for the waiting room. I was starting to go over the plan that Zexion had told us in my head. Of course we couldn't speak of it right now, too many people. I'll just tell you right now, my role was to be the young and quiet brother. Suits me fine, I don't like to talk to people I don't know.
"Are you the four who found the girl," someone asked and I felt everyone who was in the waiting room look at us. I looked up to see three men who were dressed in elegant black suits.
"Yes, we are," Zexion answered. Hey, we may be traitors but he's still the leader as far as I'm concerned.
"We need you to come with us," he told us and then followed the men to an empty, gray, room.
"Please, take a seat," the man told us. We sat down in one of the wooden chairs that were sat on one side of a table.
"From what the soldiers from the front gate say, you saved that girl's life," he started.
"Sir, we just wanted to get the girl some help and then get on our way," Zexion told him.
"Where are you boys headed," he asked.
"That's a mystery even to us," Zexion answered.
"Yeah, because you lost the map," Axel added.
"So you four are related in some way," the man asked.
"Yeah, we're brothers," Demyx said.
"Well, half anyway," Axel said and I saw Zexion glare at him. Hey, we're pretty good at acting, maybe when we're done here we can start an acting career somewhere.
"So some of your parents weren't the same," he asked.
"Yes, Axel and I our full brothers, Demyx is our step brother and Roxas is our half," Zexion explained and the man wrote something done on a piece of paper.
"So, where are your parents now," he asked.
"They died, a few years ago…look we just want to know if that girl is okay and we'll be on our way," Zexion told him.
"How did you get cut so bad on your arm," he asked looking at me and I just stared back.
"He doesn't like talking to people he doesn't know or trust," Axel said acting defense.
"You talked to that soldier at the front gate," he asked tilting his head toward me.
"Yeah, because someone was dieing," Axel said.
"Don't you feel like you should explain your side," he asked.
"Just leave him alone," Axel yelled standing up and the two men who had been with the first stepped forward.
"Please excuse him he has some anger management problems," Zexion said calmly and Axel glared at him. I heard him mumble something and then he sat back down. Man this was fun and all I had to do was sit back and watch.
