Chapter 7: Dreams

Roxas POV

The first few weeks of treatment were the worst. Being a doctor Zexion came to me everyday to see how my wounds were healing. He was always trying to get Axel to take my blindfold off which had very quickly become part of my world. Axel would always get really angry when anyone mentioned my light sensitivity and he would chase them out of the room no matter how much they were trying to help. I had quickly bonded with Olette and Sora so for the most part Axel left them alone.

Ever since Riku, Luxord and Vexen had come back Axel hadn't seen much of them. Apparently Xemnas had escaped along with all the others and I felt bad that I was keeping him away from all the planning that was going on. Axel said he didn't mind but I could sense his eagerness to join the manhunt so when Sora came to visit one day I sent him off into the operating room where they were all meeting.

"Roxas are you sure…" Axel whined I could practically see him dancing in anticipation.

"I have Sora and Olette I'll be fine. Go, you need to be there not here." I reasoned.

"Call me if you need me…" He said before tackling me to the bed. "Thank you Roxas… I love you." He whispered before kissing me. With my sense of sight diminished all the other senses of my body had been extremely heightened. I could feel his fangs as they grazed along my tongue, his lips were soft and I could feel every crevice and indention of his lips. His tongue was smooth as it tangled with my own, his sharp teeth nipping at my lower lip. He lapped at the blood that slowly trickled out and I couldn't stop myself from letting out a moan.

"I love you to Axel…." I panted.

"I'll be back in a little while and there will be more where that came from." He whispered nipping at my ear. I could just imagine that cocky grin on his face as I listened to his footsteps retreat.

"Wow even Hayner doesn't kiss me like that." Olette giggled just as the door shut softly behind us. The bed dipped as Olette climbed in the bed getting comfortable, "Don't worry we'll keep you company until the boys are done."

I couldn't help but smile I didn't like being alone so I was relieved to have the company. We talked about trivial things I couldn't deny that I was missing Axel, every time he left the room even if it was just for a moment I was worried he would never come back. "You want to ask us something don't you Roxas?" Sora asked after a long moment of silence.

I felt my face heat up and Olette grab my hand in her warm ones. "Yeah… I guess I do…" Gathering my courage I finally asked what had been nagging at me ever since Cloud left. "Cloud said that all of this was mine and Axel's fault. That all of the answers are locked in my memories. I don't know what he means by that. What happened between those two to make them hate each and for my own brother to turn against me?"

"He's right Roxas those memories are the first ones that were locked away. The reason why he's doing all of this, its not something Axel can just tell you. Mostly because you wouldn't believe him, and because you need to remember it for yourself. I don't agree with what he did but Axel should have been more honest with your brother in the first place. It's all very complicated, I don't think Axel could explain it even if he tried. Just concentrate on getting better right now. When you remember, then you'll remember." Sora responded patting me on the head.

"What if they come back? What if they really kill Axel this time? I have to remember and get strong for Axel so he won't have to worry about me." I cried trying to get out of the bed. All I managed to do was topple over and face plant the floor temporarily making me see stars. "First I'd like to see again."

Giggling Olette and Sora helped me up and put me back in bed. "Right now you're still to injured. You have a few wounds that were worse than the others and they still have a long way to go. When they heal Riku and I will help you to get stronger." Sora promised just as the door opened.

"What happened? I heard a crash!" Axel shouted as more feet pounded behind him.

"Its ok I just got a little excited and fell… how'd your meeting go?" I questioned as the bed dipped again. I felt arms wind around my waist and I snuggled close to Axel breathing in his intoxicating scent.

"It went well. Thanks you guys for watching him for me." Axel responded kissing my forehead. After everyone had left Axel pulled me down close to him his arms still around my waist. "I have some good news."

"Yeah, what is it?" I asked letting his hands travel the expanse of my body. It felt like liquid fire and I tried to hold back the sexual desire that was swirling within me.

"You get to come home tomorrow, Zexion said that there were still a few wounds that were pretty bad but not bad enough that we couldn't take you home. I know you're tired of being here… and I thought while you're on bed rest… if you want we could work on your light sensitivity. I miss your eyes Roxas, I miss seeing how beautiful they look." He whispered his lips finding mine. "Gods I miss everything about you."

"You have me now." I giggled as he trailed kisses down my neck. Lifting my shirt up he kissed my chest his lips grazing one of my nippeles. "Ax…" I moaned letting those fiery hands work a trail along my body.

"I told you there was more where that came from." He breathed rolling on top of me and going back to kissing me. "I missed this, I'm so sorry I ever let you get away."

"I'm back now, don't think about the past… think about the present. Axel I have to ask you something… Is there something that you're keeping from me?" I asked pushing Axel away long enough to try and get an answer.

"Let me guess you talked to Sora and Olette? What did they say this time?" Axel asked I could hear the nervousness in his voice as tried to play dumb.

"I can't see at the moment but I can hear! Your nervous… why?" I asked sitting up and crossing my arms in the general direction that I thought Axel was in. "They told me not to waste my time because I wouldn't believe you but I want to know. Cloud said this whole thing was our fault… that he wouldn't have traded me in if it hadn't been for us… what happened? What did we do to hurt Cloud so much?" I asked. I didn't know what I had done or for that matter what Axel and I had both done. I wasn't getting any answers out of Sora or Olette or even my own brother the only person I had left was my own Mate.

"You did nothing… I however I did everything. Before we were even together I started to date your brother Cloud…" Axel started it was as if those words were magic as everything began to unravel and memories came flooding back. Cloud and Axel had been together… for three years. Axel had told me long ago that Cloud had been pressuring him to Mate with him but he couldn't do it.

We kept our relationship a secret for over a year before Cloud found us one day. I remembered that day quiet well in fact. Axel had come over to see me, wearing a pair of dark jeans, biker boots and a tight red t-shirt the color of his hair. I had been "sick" that day and couldn't go to school. Cloud had went on ahead of me dropping Naminé off at the elementary school. As soon as I had opened the apartment door Axel had scooped me up in his arms and pinned me against the door as he closed it.

His lips were warm and he kept repeating over and over again how he missed me. How good I tasted that day, how much he wanted to just leave my brother and be with only me. He was scared of Cloud finding out about us… I think by this point we both pitied my older brother. He was in love with Axel and Axel was in love with me and afraid to hurt him. To know that he was cheating on Cloud with me would devastate him… in all honesty we should have told him.

But we didn't so for a year we were careful in meeting up with each other, stealing kisses in secret.

The day that I had stayed home from school it rained, we were currently huddled up in my room our shirts were off and I was only wearing a pair of boxers. We were too careless that day letting time slip away as we lay nestled in our cocoon of blankets. The door opened and Cloud walked in just as we were lying in each others arms naked… cliche I know.

"Cloud… this… you… I'm sorry…" Was all Axel could murmur as he tried to shield me behind him.

"How long have you two been seeing each other?" Cloud asked, his messenger bag was still on his shoulder and his hair was dripping wet from the rain.

"This is my fault… about a year… I'm sorry I didn't want you to find out this way Cloud…" Axel had started but Cloud only lifted his hand up.

"Guess I'm not the only one cheating in this relationship… And here I felt guilty I kept wondering why you were avoiding me. Now I guess I know…" Turning on his heel Cloud left he didn't come back for two days and when he did he started treating me differently. He wouldn't speak to me, he would just look at me with poison in his eyes. I knew I deserved it but I didn't expect things to go so far between us. I didn't expect to fall in love with Axel… but when Cloud met Leon it was like things had gotten better.

After Leon moved in Cloud refused to let me go see Axel and I threatened to run away several times. The two of us fought leaving Leon to take Naminé away from the hell that had become our home. Summoning my Keyblade he would summon his sword and the two of us would go at it. He called me a homewrecker it was something I couldn't deny. I cried a lot after that my loyalties torn between the brother I had lost and Axel. After we had Mated and I moved in Axel confessed that he never really loved my brother like Cloud loved him.

"I didn't even know I loved you until I kept making up excuses as to why I didn't want to be with him. He's a great guy but once I realized I loved you I knew there was no going back. I'll do anything for you Roxas… anything just name it and its yours. I swear I never meant to hurt your brother and I swear on my life I'll never hurt you like I did him!" Axel had pulled me close and lavished me with kisses, we spent that night holding each other and shortly after Cloud stole me away and had my memories erased.

I must have passed out because when I awoke again Axel was calling my name and shaking me. "Ax… I remember… my memories I think there back." I whispered clutching my head.

"What? Your memories? Are you sure?" Axel asked I could already hear the hope in his voice. Nodding he pulled me down on the bed his fangs grazing over my Mark. "Gods how I've missed you Roxy Angel. They're back now for good?"

"Yeah… yeah I think so." I responded smiling.

The sun rose shortly after and we slept together curled in each others arms. When I dreamed it was about me being alone. Swinging my legs off the hospital bed I went out into the hallway. There I found Axel, "Ax what are you doing up? Shouldn't we be asleep?" I questioned giggling. "Axel?" Going up to him I turned him around only to find a giant sword buried in his chest. "Axel!"

Screaming I ran off down the hall only to trip and fall. Someone grabbed my legs and when I looked back it was Axel. His eyes were bleeding and blood was pouring out of his mouth. "Come join us," Axel said smiling as blood continued to pour from every orifice.

"Stop! Leave me alone!" I screamed struggling as much as I could. Cloud walked around the corner and grinned.

"This is your fault, you just had to ruin what we had didn't you? We were happy without you butting in!" Cloud cried grabbing my hair and slamming me down on the floor. "You're not going anywhere! I'll keep you here and I'll just tell Naminé that you disappeared. I'll get Axel back you can be sure! I'll erase his memories of you if I have to! Except this time I'll get someone who knows what the fuck they're doing!"

"I thought you loved Leon!" I shouted trying to buy myself some time, I had to get out of here. Axel tackled me to the floor pulling my hands tight behind me, his hands went around my throat choking off my oxygen. Kicking around didn't work as the pool of blood left behind started to move before it pinned my legs down.

"I do love Leon, but I also love Axel. He'll understand." Cloud shrugged. "Those Hunters are coming back, I've sent them for you. This time however they'll bring me back your head!" Snapping his fingers the blood dissipated and Axel let go of my throat.

Bolting up it took me a moment to catch my breath, when I did I realized I was alone. "Axel?" I felt around the bed but I couldn't find him. Swinging my legs off the edge I felt my way around the room calling his name as I did so. "Axel… Axel? Where are you?" I whimpered opening the door and taking a step out. My legs felt like they were on fire but I kept walking until they finally gave out and I was forced to crawl. "Axel! Axel where are you?"

Curling up against what I thought was one of the walls I heard footsteps running down the hall. "Roxas? Roxas! Angel where are you? Angel!" Axel cried as I listened to his footsteps stop right in front of me. "Come here Angel what were you thinking? Your bleeding everywhere! How did you get so far? Roxas what happened to your neck?"

"I was searching for you! I couldn't find you…" I whimpered as he lifted me up in his arms and carried me away. I felt like a child but I couldn't help it I didn't like being in the dark all the time I wanted to see again… I wanted to be able to see for myself that Axel was in fact ok! "I had a dream! You were killed Cloud killed you! He's coming back he said he was coming back! He wants you Axel he tried to kill me!"

"No I'm ok I'm here, its ok Angel shh its ok everythings fine. Cloud's gone Roxas, he won't come back he's gone now he can't hurt us." Axel whispered nuzzling my neck. Wrapping my arms around his neck I forced him to lie in the bed with me. "I thought you were still asleep I just went to find Zexion make sure it was ok to take you home. But now you're bleeding everywhere and your neck…" Axel started.

"What happened? Gods Roxas what did you do?" Zexion cried. I felt his hands go to work as he wrapped my legs.

"I had a bad dream… Axel died… I had to find him. Zexion, Cloud's coming back he said he was coming back!" I whimpered.

I heard Zexion sigh, "Roxas, Cloud isn't coming back he's gone now. He ran away you're ok everything's ok." Zexion said to me, why didn't he believe me? Why didn't anyone believe me? He was coming back… he was going to come back. I had to get strong even if no one else believed me. To Axel he said, "You can take him home today if you still want. I'll come check on him in about a week… " Zexion sighed as he tightened something around my leg.

After Zexion was done bandaging my leg and looking at my neck Axel was able to take me home. Sora hugged me as I came in the door. "Welcome back it feels like forever since you've been back… oh and Axel we've acquired a new house guest…." Sora started.

"Oi Axel good to see you two love birds home in one piece." Luxord said.

"YOU ARE NOT STAYING HERE! HELL NO! NO WAY!" Axel roared. There were the sounds of crashing and Luxord laughing.

After we had finally calmed Axel down enough, he took us back to our bedroom and helped me sit on the bed. I heard the sounds of curtains closing and Axel snap his fingers. His fingers were warm as he slowly pulled the blindfold off. I was met with the most shocking pair of toxic green eyes. For some reason the glow that came from his eyes didn't affect me as I thought it would have. "So beautiful…" Axel murmured his hands reaching out to caress my face.

Leaning into his touch he pressed his lips against mine. I didn't want to put the blindfold back on ever, I wanted to just stay here and stare at those hypnotizing eyes. "Axel do you believe me about Cloud coming back?" I asked curling up on the bed.

"He's not coming back… he wouldn't come back he knows what will happen if he does. Besides even if he does somehow make it back here I won't let him hurt you!" He responded nuzzling my neck.

Since I was a Dhampir my eyes adjusted more quickly than a normal humans. What should have taken about a month only took a week before I was able to see lights brighter and brighter. It was about a week in before Axel was finally able to remove the blindfold permanently. I was never able to see my wounded legs but they healed up just fine leaving only minor scars. Luxord wasn't to bad to live with he liked to make sexual advances towards me at times… that was until I drew my Keyblade out and threatened to sever his balls with it. I was getting better but there were nightmares that still plagued me about my time with the Hunters. I kept having dreams of them returning and taking me away to that awful place. There were some dreams where Axel was being murdered over and over by my own brother. Axel would wake me up a lot of times because he said I was screaming for them not to harm him, it always took me a while to make sure that Axel was really ok.

He would just hold me tight as I wept, I didn't want Axel to die not after I had regained all of my memories. The threat of Cloud coming back though still loomed. Sora seemed to be getting more distraught every day that passed. He would always pull Axel and Riku to the side leaving Luxord and I out like we were the outsiders and who knows maybe we were.

It wasn't until I'd finally cornered my Mate with Luxord at my side did he finally tell us what was going on. "Sora sees them planning another attack. He says the visions are very fuzzy because plans keep getting changed or someones warded themselves so we can't see what's going on… There's only one person with that power Roxas." I knew who he was talking about even though my brain refused to register it. My own sister had become a pawn in this game… it sickened me.

"Why would they use her?" I cried taking a step back. If Naminé was in danger I had to save her! I promised I'd protect her after all!

"Calm down! Sora said she's fine… they've probably roped Cloud into doing this… if it comes to a fight then I'll do everything I can to make sure she doesn't get hurt. I can't guarantee anything Roxas… you're my first priority I have to make sure your safe before anyone else!" Axel stated the way he looked at me I knew he wasn't kidding.

"If Naminé gets hurt I'll never forgive you or Cloud! I promised to protect her she's very frail Axel… she's my priority! I love you very much Axel but I know you can take care of yourself… she can't." Shaking my head I walked outside to get some fresh air. My dreams had been right, they were coming back yet no one still believed me about Cloud. I had been trying to convince Axel but the only person I had managed to convince was Luxord.

"Why won't he believe me?" I asked as Luxord shut the door behind him.

"I don't know lad, just keep trying he'll figure out that your right." Luxord said sitting beside me on the swing we had set up outside.

"Roxas… would you come here for a second please?" Axel asked opening the door, his hands were folded and he had this look in his eyes that I couldn't explain. Getting up I walked over and was forcefully dragged in the house. "What the hell are you doing alone with him?!"

"Excuse me? I can hang out with whoever I want I don't need your permission! At least he believes me Axel!" I cried turning on my heel and walking back outside.

"Wait Roxas," Axel started grabbing my wrist.

Jerking my hand back I shot him a poisonous glare, "Don't touch me!" Heading outside I grabbed Luxord and dragged him off with me.

"Where are we going?" He asked as I headed off to our secret spot. I didn't answer him as I continued to drag him down the road. Once we got there I summoned my Keyblade and went to hacking on an old tree.

"He doesn't believe me! That bastard doesn't believe me! How dare he! I trusted him with everything! And now he decides not to believe me!" I screamed continuing to hit the tree.

"Hey Roxas." Luxord called, turning around I was met face to face with Luxord holding a deck of cards. "Cloud didn't try to trap you in that dream… that was me." Grinning he threw the cards, quickly they surrounded us. They made a fortress around us each card touching the ground and extending till about eight feet in height. Drawing my Keyblade I backed up a step. It had been a long time since I'd had to fight, I'd only ever spared with my Mate a few times and with Sora once or twice but I'd never done real fighting before.

"Cloud's not over Axel just yet which is a good thing, he'll come back for Axel and you won't be there to stop him." Luxord shrugged snapping his fingers as a card came out of nowhere and sliced my cheek.

"Whose side are you really on? Why are you helping Cloud? What is really going on?" I cried trying to buy myself some time. Axel would come to my rescue right?

"Whats going on is that Cloud hired us to exterminate you. We're just doing our job, we are Hunters after all. Did you really think that I wanted to stay there with you? I was sent here to watch over you to make sure that Axel didn't try and contact you. That day he came after you I stood no chance, I hoped you would have changed your mind and came and found me that night. But you didn't, such a pretty body that's going to waste." He crooned.

"What about Leon? Xemnas said that Cloud traded me for Leon?" I whimpered trying not to back down.

"All a lie, you bought it though. I was quiet surprised this whole thing has been set up by your brother. Sweet huh? You're the only one that knows and now you'll die with that knowledge." He grinned and snapped his fingers as a bunch of razor sharp cards circled me. I was going to die here wasn't I?
