I walked out of the portal and ended up at the station surrounded by heartless, I smirked at them and called forward my chakrams then wiped them out. I got rid of my weapons and started to walk away when I heard a sound behind me, I turned around and saw more heartless and Arexis walking out of the portal. She looked surprised and slightly scared, I opened a portal and went to walk through after all if I could take out the heartless so could she, they were only weak but just when I was about to walk through it I heard a noise behind me. I turned around and saw her falling to her hands and knees.

The heartless were starting to pile on top of her but they weren't attacking, they were just gathering. I saw her say something but I couldn't hear her with all the heartless covering her, her head lowered and I was about to call forward my chakrams and help her when she started to stand. Even though the heartless quickly pushed her down again she kept trying to stand never taking her eyes off me but the way she looked at me it was like she was looking through me, to someone else.

While I watched her struggling there was a bright flash and I wasn't in Twilight Town anymore, I was in my home world but before I had a chance to think anything there was another flash and I was back.

"It's the same" I realised looking back out at Arexis

When I became a nobody my world was overtaken by heartless so Saïx and I went to leave but before I walked through the portal I looked out at the sea of heartless and saw a single girl wearing a beautiful white dress standing out from all the heartless. I remember wondering how she got there and why she didn't run but all she did was stare at me, I wanted to go back and help her but Saïx pulled me through the portal. I pushed the memory from my mind after all this was different, that girl had no way to defend herself but Arexis did and this time I would be able to help if she needed it.

I looked through the heartless and found her in time to see her shout something but I couldn't quite hear the words then next thing I knew wind and fire started to gather around her then the heartless all vanished. I had to admit that I was impressed but she still didn't seem like the Arexis I knew, her eyes showed signs of hurt and her body seemed weak and frail but that didn't stop her from staggering towards me. First it started out as a slow unsteady walk but then as she got closer her face changed to panic and she ran towards me grabbing hold of my coat as she fell to her knees.

"Whoa..." I said quietly "I heard you were good with magic but I never did listen"

I didn't know what else to say, I wanted to ask if she was ok, I wanted to make sure she was ok but I never was good at saying things like that. I let her hold onto my coat while she caught her breath and looked around the station, I expected more heartless to show up, that's what's been happening here for the past few days, you kill them and twice as many show up but no more came. I shrugged it off and looked down at Arexis, she didn't look so good.

"Hey you ok down there? Haven't passed out again have you"

"No, I'm ok" she smiled "tell me something... You're past... how much do you really remember?"

"Where'd that come from and do you want to let go of me already?"

"Do you remember your home, your family? You're friends?"

"Well sure I do but they aren't important anymore, I don't have the heart to miss them"

"There are probably people looking for you! Worrying about you!"

"If you must know my world was destroyed and only us strong ones survived" I said shaking my sleeve

"So you don't even remember me?" she asked looking up at me

"What are you talking about?"

"No-nothing, let's get back, our mission here is done" she said pulling away from me

I didn't do anything, I just stood there, I didn't know what to do. I wanted to get answers but looking at her now I didn't think I would have much chance at that so I just decided to stand there.

"Well hurry up and make a portal, I want to go back" she stated not looking at me

I hadn't noticed it but at some time during the commotion the portal had closed, I opened up another portal but didn't walk towards it. She turned around after waiting for a bit, she looked a little surprised that I was still standing there but she didn't say anything, not a single word before walking into the darkness.

Once she left I closed the portal, I wasn't going back just yet, I headed up to the top of the clock tower and looked down at the small town. I heard someone walking up behind me but I didn't bother to turn around or greet them, I was too lost in my own thoughts.

"Are you ok?" Roxas asked from behind me

"What did she mean?" I muttered to myself

"... This might not be the time but I was wondering... What were you and Saïx talking about the other day?"

I snapped out of it and turned to face him with a grin.

"You're going to have to be a bit more specific then that" I laughed

"The day Arexis got sick, when you said 'that was before you left her'"

"Oh then" I sighed turning away from him "it's nothing important, just something from the past"

"I would like to hear about it... I don't have any memories from my past and I would like to hear about yours"

"Trust me kid, mine are nothing special"

He sighed and sat down, I don't know if it was because of that pathetic look on his face or the fact that some part of me did want to talk but whatever it was I ended up sitting down next to him and started to tell him.

"There was this girl Saïx and I knew when we were somebodies, we were good friends but I don't think Saïx liked her much but nothing new there he didn't like anyone really. When the heartless attacked I wanted to go looking for her but Saïx said it was pointless, that she would already be dead"

"Was she... I mean did the heartless get her?"

"I don't know, I went back later and all the heartless were gone and only a handful of people were still alive, I asked around about her but no one had even heard of her. All they said was 'an angle saved them' whatever that means" I shrugged "but maybe if he didn't take me away I could have found her before it was too late"

"And Arexis reminds you of her?"

"Well they have the same kind of hair, her hair was red with pink to oh and the eyes are the same to but the personalities are nothing alike" I frowned "expect for maybe when she is asleep... or not talking... or not being her normal stubborn self"

"What was her name? The girl you used to know... Maybe she managed to escape somewhere else and is still alive somewhere"

"I doubt that, I did look around you know and her name... It was Seria"

The second those words escaped my lips I pieced everything together, It was a good 5 years or so ago so she would be around 19 20 now.

"How old do you think Arexis is?"

"I don't know, she doesn't look that old but maybe around 18?"

"Around the same age Seria would be now..."

Their hair was also the same and I hadn't met anyone else with hair like hers and then the eyes, the eyes were exact and how many people had eyes like hers then there is the name. That day Arexis found me on the clock tower, she started to say a name, a name that sounded a lot like Seria and last of all, she called me Lea, hardly anyone knows me by that name.

"But how?" I muttered to myself

"Is everything ok?"

"Ahh yeah, I have to go"

I opened a portal on top of me and left, I went to the only place I knew of where I could be alone and think, the beach. I started to pace up and down the shore trying to think of answers, I was too busy with my own thoughts that I didn't even hear when another person showed up.

"Lost something?"

I looked up and saw someone wearing the organization uniform but they had their hood on so it was covering their face.

"That depends"

"On?"

"Who you are"

I heard a small laugh then they reached up and pulled away their hood showing a boy with silver hair and a black blindfold covering their eyes.

"You" I hissed calling forward my chakrams

"I'm not here for a fight"

"Then why are you here?"

"I don't need a reason to be here, why are you here?"

I was going to attack him but with the memories of everything that has happened to Arexis still fresh in my mind I remembered her saying that he knew her.

"I want answers"

"Answers?"

"I know you talked to Arexis and I want to know everything you two talked about"

"Who?"

"Seria"

I felt instantly stupid for saying the name but that quickly vanished as he started talking.

"Don't tell me you're the one that she has been searching for?"

"Tell me everything you know about her now"

"Why would I want to help anyone in the organization?"

"Because if you tell me then maybe I can help her leave the organization, that's what you wanted her to do right?"

"Why don't you just ask her?"

"Because you're here now, how do you know her?"

"We met a while ago, she was lost and I went to help her but she tried attacking me because she thought I was in the organization. Once I told her otherwise she wanted to join me but her light was to bright that nothing would be able to cover it, that's when she got the idea of becoming a nobody, that's all I know" he said opening a portal "I sure hope you were worth her losing her heart over"

And just like that he was gone. After that I left back to the organization, I knew now that Arexis was Seria so I went to find her, to get answers. Once I returned to the organization I found out that Saïx had sent her on two more missions so I waited for her to return.

"He said she was searching for someone... could it have been me? Did she give up her heart to find me?" I thought lowering my head on my hands staring at my lap

"I'm sure she will be back soon"

I lifted my head and looked towards where the voice came from; walking into the room was Xion with a small smile on her face, a smile that didn't seem too confident in what she just said.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I huffed slouching into the chair

"I know your waiting for Arexis; you don't have to lie to me"

"Am I that obvious?" I wondered as she smiled at me

"She is just so hopeless" I frowned turning my head away

"I talked to her today; she said she is starting to remember things from her past"

"Yeah? So what"

"Is there such thing as a world of light?" she asked walking closer

"Of course not"

"Isn't it possible?"

"As long as people have darkness in their hearts their world will be connected to the darkness"

"What about a princess of light?"

"Where did you hear that from?"

"... It just came to me, what is a princess of light?"

I sighed and sat up straight then turned and faced Xion" they are people who have no darkness in their hearts"

"So if they can have no darkness in their hearts why can't a world?"

"Because there is always darkness hidden in people's hearts"

"That can't be true, if it was then there wouldn't be princesses of light"

"Yeah but there are only 7 princesses of light, not a whole world full of them, they are rare and aren't born every day, where is all this coming from anyway?"

"When I was talking to Arexis... she said she was born in a world of light"

"A world of light?"

"Our world was far from being a world of light"

"Yeah, she also said that's why she cant create her own portals, because she is made of light... at least I think that's what she said... I'm not sure, I don't remember exactly"

"Made of light? No one can be made of light, for starters people aren't made their born and for seconds..."

I stopped talking as I thought of something.

"Those guards that were always chasing her... they didn't want her out in the world... Did someone actually create a being of light? If someone created darkness then why couldn't someone create light" I thought to myself

"Hey you ok?"

"Born in a world of light... does that mean she was from a different world if that's true then she didn't die because she was never there; she was on a different world?"

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm going to go to bed" I said standing

I walked past Xion and towards my room, I laid down on my bed thinking back to my past hoping that something there would help me figure all this out but after many hours of thinking I came up with only one answer, Saïx.

It was late now so I decided to see if Arexis made it back ok but her bed was still empty and she wasn't anywhere I could see in the castle.

"Guess I'm going to have to bring her back again" I thought to myself with a laugh, it seemed I was always bringing people back here "where is she anyway?"

I left my room and went up the hallway and around the corner then walked up to the last door at the end of the hallway. I didn't knock on the door; I didn't want to wake the others so I just let myself in. I walked into Demyx's room; the last person other than Saïx that I know was with Arexis. I walked up to his bed and looked down at him, I had to hold back a laugh as I saw him lying there hugging his sitar.

"Hey wake up"

He muttered in his sleep and rolled over away from me, I didn't have time for this and considering it was only Demyx I reached out and pushed him onto the floor. There was a crash sound but Demyx still didn't wake up, I should have guessed as much after all he managed to sleep through almost everything that happens here. I walked over the other side of the bed and kicked his foot but he just curled up into a ball still holding his sitar, that's when I got an idea.

I reached down and grabbed hold of his sitar then pulled it away from him, it took me a little while, he had a tight grip on the thing. The second he was separated from his precious sitar he woke up straight away.

"Axel? What are you doing here?" he asked rubbing his eyes "wait why do you have my sitar!"

He looked more awake now and like he was going to fight me so I threw down the sitar for him after all I wasn't going to get anywhere with him if he was trying to attack me. Once he was standing and hugging his sitar once again I turned my back from him and walked away a little.

"What world did Saïx send Arexis to?"

"Who cares, I'm going back to sleep" he muttered

"Tell me or I will through that thing out of the window next time" I growled facing him

"I don't know, Agrabah I think" he yawned

That was enough for me, I opened a portal to Agrabah and left, I searched the entire city but hadn't found her anywhere so I went to the cave Roxas and I found one time but she wasn't there either, the only place left was the desert.

"Of course he would send her there" I frowned walking out into the desert "you better be alive when I find you"
