A/N Okay so this one is mostly in Axsrah's POV. Ara finally tells what happened. Now when she tells what happened, it will be told as if it were a flashback type thing. So basically flashback scene from Ara's POV, but still in Axsrah's. Sorry XD Its kinda long..

Axsrah's POV

"Ara! Ara! Wait! No!"

I was running…trying to catch up to her…but she's always just out of reach…

"Quit your trying, girl. Its no use."

What? No! I have to save her!

I kept running, but I couldn't see her at all…

"Its useless girl."

The mist rose and I saw a man who closely resembled Xemnas…holding a blade to Ara's throat.

"She's mine!" He screamed as the blade swiftly cut.

"NO!"

"RYAN!"

I sat up in my bed, gasping for air.

I woke up screaming his name again…

I'd been having nightmares for two months now almost every night. All about Ara. And every night I'd wake up screaming Ryan's name…

I looked out my window wall, as I call it, to see that it was still dark. The clock said it was 2:30 in the morning.

"Looks like I won't be able to sleep again. Might as well get up." I muttered.

I threw off the covers and shuffled to the bathroom. I splashed water on my face and noticed how horrible I actually looked.

My white hair was tangled and matted to my face. My cheeks were flushed, and the dark circles under my Ice blue and silver eyes were only getting darker each day.

I looked like hell.

I tore my eyes away from the mirror and went to put my robe on.

The leather uniform we had to wear was uncomfortable. Which was why I wore it as little as possible. But I couldn't very well walk around the castle in short-shorts and tank top now could I?

I fastened my sheath or throwing knives around my waist and threw on my robe. I didn't bother putting on gloves. They were a waste of time.

Quietly, I opened the door of my room and walked down the hall, my boots clicking a little on the floor.

As I passed Ara's room, I saw that her door was cracked. I peered in and saw she wasn't there.

That's when I panicked.

I ran out to the Grey Area, but she wasn't there. The only other place she would be right now would be the courtyard.

I sprinted outside, the cool night air washing over my face. I leaned on a pillar and scanned the area.

Marluxia had put in grass, so it was no longer just marble. It made Ara more comfortable to be outside, and ever since Xigbar came back on a mission with a wolf for her, it was relaxing to all of us. Don't ask why or how, it just was.

I spotted Ara sitting in the middle of the courtyard, talking to and leaning on Mishka, her wolf.

I immediately let out a sigh of relief. She wasn't supposed to move much due to her mid-section being so damaged, but my sister's stubborn.

I watched her talk to Mishka. She looked so relaxed…I could kiss Xigbar for that, I really could.

I mentally gagged.

Like I ever would. That's just…eeeiiiggghhhh gross.

But that's how much I appreciate him bringing her here.

That day was one of the most relaxed we've had in the castle for two months.

(Flashback XD)

"Looky what I gootttt!" Xigbar opened the door to Ara's room, announcing he was back from his mission.

I glared at him. "Do you ever knock?"

"Eh..hehe..not really, no." He laughed nervously. "But I have something for Ara! You'll love it I swear!"

My sister looked curious. "What?"

He held up a finger, telling us to wait.

We heard growling from outside the door. I looked at Ara.

She gasped. "I know that kind of growl."

"Huh?" Oh yeah, I'm smart.

Xiggy came in with a white and grey wolf, dragging it by a rope around its neck.

"Come on wolfy…argh…lets…go!"

The wolf stopped growling when it saw Ara. It relaxed completely and started walking to her.

I moved out of the way, it wanted to get through and I wasn't going to stop it.

It came up and nuzzled Ara's cheek. She giggled. Ara smiled and undid the rope from its neck and hugged it.

"Mishka…" She said softly.

I turned to Xigbar with a questioning look. He just shrugged.

I smiled and gave him a hug. "Thanks. You really made her happy."

"Mhmm…"

(end of flashback XD)

Looking at her now, she was happy. But I however, wasn't. She's not supposed to move. Or even walk right now!

Furious I stomped out to her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!"

"Huh?"

"I go to your room and you're not there! You aren't supposed to be walking!"

"But I didn't walk." She smirked. "Mishka carried me out here."

"Ugh…smartass." I smirked.

She grinned. "You know it."

I sighted and sat down by her. "So…what are you doing out here anyway?"

"Just…thinking."

"…About what?"

It was her turn to sigh.

Mishka moved from beside her and laid in her lap. Ara rested her head on her and started stoking her fur.

"….What happened…"

I stayed silent.

It had been two months, and I still had no idea what had happened before I saw her that night. Axel doesn't know either. On top of that, everyone's been over the edge. Not only for her, but myself now, too.

"….Ara…I need to know what happened."

She sighed. "….He sent me on a mission…"

I teleported to where I was directed, only to find it wasn't Heatless I was to take care of.

I stood in front of three people in black cloaks…like mine.

'What the hell? They aren't part of the Organization.'

"Took you long enough to get here. Damn you're slow."

It took me a minute to realize a guy in the back had spoken.

"Hah. Wow. Is she really that stupid?"

I glared at them. "Who the hell are you?"

"That doesn't matter. What matters is why you're here." The person on the other side said. It was a girl, but her voice was deeper than most.

'Huh?'

"Look I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I was sent here for some damned job. Well, what my job was, isn't here. So if you don't mind. I'm leaving."

Before I could teleport away from these people, a throwing knife was in my arm.

"Ahh! What the hell!"

"You aren't going anywhere." The man in the front growled.

I glared. "Watch me." I pulled out the knife and started to get the hell out of there, but the damn bastard in the front had me by my hair.

"I said, you're not going anywhere, little girl."

"What did you just call me?" I used a deadly calm voice. Nobody calls me a little girl. Nobody.

I had flipped him over my shoulder and pointed his own knife at his throat. "Couple things," I said. "One, you never call me a little girl. Two, I don't know who you are or what the hell you're talking about, but I'm sure you've got the wrong person. Three, I am leaving. So whatever the hell your problem with me is, get over it."

I took the knife away, but it cut him a bit. Bad move.

I was in the air in less than a second, him crushing my wrist so hard you heard a few cracks.

"Ahh!"

He smirked. "You're feisty. No matter, you're still not leaving. We have unfinished business."

'What the hell are you talking about?'

"Look, I don't know you, and frankly, I don't give a fuck." He arched his eyebrow. "But you and this temper of yours needs to get the fuck under control. Whatever you want from me, I probably don't have. Like I said, you've got the wrong girl. So fuck off."

His face turned into one of anger. "You little bitch."

He threw me on the ground so hard that I was temporarily paralyzed.

"You think you can get away with what you've done? You think that you can just waltz in on your own accord, destroy our entire village, and get away with it? You've got it wrong then."

'What?'

He turned to his two followers. "Harm her, maim her, do what you wish. …just don't kill her. She's mine."

They nodded and ran at me like wild animals.

My eyes widened and I tried to move, but I couldn't.

The two alone hurt me so bad in only a matter of minutes. They sliced through my skin as if it were nothing. Kicked me and punched me as if I was their toy. I couldn't do anything.

I screamed as yet another attack of theirs struck me dead on like a target. I dropped to my knees, holding my now dislocated shoulder.

"Stupid girl. Why Xemnas chose you, I don't know. You're nothing special at all." The one in charge walked up to me.

This time I could speak. I was confused, hurt, and pissed.

"What? What the hell are you talking abo-AHHH!" I was hit again.

"She doesn't know." The other voice said. "She doesn't have a clue to what she is."

"I wouldn't be surprised." The female broke in. "Damn that fool and his faux 'Organization'!"

'Faux Organization?' I thought.

"She is nothing special. She is not what he claimed her to be."

"But-!" The two protested.

"SCILENCE!" The followers shut up. "She is NOTHING!" He turned at and looked at me. Those glowing yellow eyes piercing in the dark. "Nothing…but a waste of time, effort, and magic."

He turned and started walking away.

"…Superior…" The female spoke softly. Their 'superior' stopped walking. "…what do we do with her?"

"…Kill her."

"But A-!" The guy interjected.

"Do it. Now."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay.."

"Wait a second …you bastard." Slowly I stood up.

He was in front of me in a flash. "What did you just call me…Little girl?"

Something cold sliced through my stomach. My eyes widened. I fell back and pulled a long, jagged silver blade out.

He picked me up by my throat. "You are nothing," He drop kicked me. "But a fake. Xemnas will be glad I killed you. Oh he'll make up some excuse, I'm sure. But the truth…" He cut me on my arms. Deeper and slower on each until they were blood-covered. I screamed in agony each time the blade slid across my skin. "the truth…is that I'll have murdered you in cold blood."

He raised another jagged sword and struck.

It almost hit me, but luckily I had just enough strength and time to move.

I stood up about ten feet away from him and teleported out of there as fast as I could.

'Whatever the fuck they are, they're deadly. And apparently, the thing they want dead, is me.'

Ara went silent and I realized that was when she made it to the Grey Area.

I stared at her for a long time.

'How? How the hell could they do that to her? How could it have happened?'

"…A-Axsrah?"

I snapped out of it and pulled her into a hug.

"I am so, so, so sorry that that happened…I never thought…and Xemnas…I'm surprised you didn't go insane! I know I would've…"

"Its okay, I'm fine. Don't worry okay? Thanks to you guys I'm allright."

'But was she? Was she even safe? What if they came after her?'

"…I'll try." I said. "At least I can rest easier…hehe well a bit easier now." But it was a lie. I was so worried about this I thought I would never sleep again.

She escaped my hug and gave me a hug and a small smile. "So you. What's been bothering you lately? I know about the nightmares but…" She trailed off.

I bit my lip. "I…I-I miss Ryan…"

Ara's face softened. "Oh Axsrah…"

I looked down. "I-its just…I left before…and I didn't even get to say bye…and now every time I have nightmares I wake up screaming his name…It's horrible…I don't think I'll ever get to see him again…"

"Axsrah…" Ara out her arm around me. "You'll see him again, I'm sure of it. But…" She made me look at her. "Don't worry. And don't dwell on it too much."

I nodded. "I'm gonna go see if I can get back to sleep…" I felt well enough now. I'd told someone about Ryan and I figured out what happened to Ara…I was content…sort of.

She gave me a push. "Go, woman! You need it! Hell, you look like I did on my whole 'Vampire' stage."

I glared at her. I did not! Okay maybe I did but still…

I laughed. "Allright…night. And DON'T go anywhere else but to your room when you're done here."

"Yes ma'am!" She saluted me.

I rolled my eyes. "Night."

"Night. See you tomorrow."

I walked off. I knew I was going to be a bit less…bleh. Hah, but still very on edge.
