Chapter 7
"Mae! Mae! Mae, speak to me. I didn't mean to hurt you so badly. Mae, please, I'm so sorry. Please." I looked at Axel and he looked terribly upset. I turned around and ran. "Maexji!" He yelled.
I saw Roxas appear at the end of the long hallway. Axel's yelling was long gone now. He stood right in front of me. Since the hallway got narrower as I ran. I couldn't go around him, so I stopped.
Roxas's blue eyes turned red and he faded in shadows. They surrounded me like a black cloud. After they final shadows left I looked down the hall ahead of me. There was a door.
I ran further towards it.
When I got there, I opened it. Inside was very familiar. Then it hit me. My somebody used to live here. It was her old home town. I walked in and it was like being there. People were walking around. It was Summertime. Warm and sunny. I walked down the street and Roxas and Axel stepped in front of me.
Then it all became black shadows. All I could see was a pair of bright yellow eyes and a face. Not Axel's face, who I saw before, but someone different. Someone who could represent Axel, but he had endless black eyes and black silky hair. He looked like Axel, had the same features, but still different.
A hand reached out and touched my heart. It all became black.
I sat up, startled, out of a dream. That was very weird. Something was going to happen but I don't know what.
Someone knocked on my door. "Yeah?" I asked, still a little groggy from sleep.
Roxas opened the door and walked in. "Are you ok? I heard you scream." He said quietly, as if I was still asleep.
"I'm fine just a bad dream."
"Oh." He looked at me and must have saw I was fully awake. "Do you want me to stay with you?" He asked, still standing by the door. My eyes had finally adjusted to the limited light. I saw what Roxas was wearing. He must have just woken up, because he was wearing dark blue Pajama bottoms with his keyblades on them. He wasn't wearing a shirt though.
He was pretty cute.
"Sure." I said and patted the seat beside me. He smiled and walked over. He laid down and sat up on his elbow.
"Will you tell me what it was about?" He asked watching me.
"No, not really. It was really weird. Like something that could happen in the future." I said staring blankly at the white bed sheets.
"Was I in?" He asked softly, which caught me off guard. I looked at him and he was watching.
"Yeah you were." I said almost in tears. Roxas sat up and moved my hair from in front of my face.
"Don't cry. Your fine. Nothing's going to happen to you, me, or anybody else." He said putting his arms around me.
"You don't know. Something is going to happen." I said crying now. Then I whispered this last part. "Something to make you hate me. Something to get Axel upset, and for me to leave."
"Mae. Shhhh, it's ok. I won't get mad at you, I promise. But calm down, we'll take care of you." I put my arms around his shoulders and my face in the crook of his neck. He rubbed my back as I cried.
I cried until I couldn't cry no more. It was still dark in my room when I stopped.
"I'm sorry." I said as I pulled away and wiped my eyes and nose.
"No, it's fine. You were scared. I can understand."
"Thanks."
"Thanks for what?"
"For being there." I said smiling.
"Anytime." I looked down.
"Roxas, what is your favorite color?"
"Um, that's a little random. But it is a tie between blue, yellow, and maybe white."
"Cool."
"What's yours?" He asked.
"Black, white, silver and green."
"Nice colors."
"Thank you. I'm gonna guess is your favorite food sea salt ice cream?"
"You guessed correctly." He paused. "What's yours?"
"It's between that and those waffles I had one morning."
"I have to admit, those were good."
"I know." I said smiling.
"Do you want to go swimming?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Good. I'll come back here when I am done." I looked at the clock, it was 4:02.
"Ok." He got up and left. I got my bathing suit on and grabbed a towel.
Roxas opened my door and walked in. "Are you ready?" He asked, leaning against my desk.
"Yes I am." I said walking over to him. He opened a portal and we walked into it.
I walked onto the white tile floor of the pool room. I threw my towel onto one of the chairs, so did Roxas. "Hey Roxas, guess what?" I asked as he walked over to me by the pool's edge.
"What?" He asked chuckling.
"Your in the water." I said. He looked confused as I said it, but after I finished I pushed him in.
I saw bubbles, but he didn't come up. I looked into the pool. "Roxas? Roxas are you ok?" Still no answer.
"I'm fine, but your going to get wet!" Roxas said putting his arms around my waist and jumped in. I came up with Roxas still a hold of me.
"Don't do that again." I said breathless.
"I won't. I really scared you didn't I?" I nodded with wide eyes. "I'm sorry." He pulled me closer to him, we were face to face. He leaned closer and kissed me lightly on the lips.
He slowly pulled away to see if he offended me.
Nope. Not at all.
"I'm sorry." He said again, looking down. I put my hand on the side of his face. He looked up at me.
"Don't be." I said and kissed him. He didn't feel sad any more. After a few seconds, he pulled away. He kissed me on the forehead and then let go of me and went under.
We swan for a while then we got out and laid on a chair.
I leaned my head on his chest and he covered us up with the towels. I closed my eyes trying to catch some sleep. "Mae, are you nervous for the training thing with Axel?" Roxas asked quietly.
"I don't want to hurt him. When I fight, it's like this switch turns on and I don't care who I fight. I could kill Axel and then ten seconds later snap out of it and freak out. I really don't want to hurt him."
"It's ok. Don't worry, you won't. I promise."
"Thanks." I said and wrapped my arms around him and went to sleep.

"Hey." Roxas said shaking my shoulder. "Your phone is ringing." I shot up and answered it.
"Hello?" I asked, sleep still thick in my voice.
"Hey. Are you ready for the practice today? If so, it's starts in 15 minuets." Axel said.
"Oh. Yeah, I'll be right there." I said and hung up the phone before he could say anything else.
"Who was it?" Roxas asked.
"Axel. The training starts in 15 minuets. I gotta go." I said ran over grabbed my towel and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks." I said looking into his eyes then portaling to my room.
I got my clothes on and went to the kitchen. I grabbed a bagel and some orange juice and leaned against the counter.
When I finished my food, I went to the training room. Everybody was there. I couldn't look Axel or Xion in the eyes. I was to scared. Roxas was standing beside Demyx talking, he gave me a nod and a smile.
I walked across the room to the only window. I stared out across the empty sky. No sun, not that I could see yet, it was quite cloudy and foggy.
"Number 15." Someone said. I turned to see Superior standing there. "You'll do fine." Was all he said before he walked to the middle of the room to speak.
"Guys, you have all heard Axel and Maexji are going to fight. That will happen. I will watch and ref. You both will fight until one of you gets seriously hurt of is about to. Understand?"
"Yes Superior." I heard Axel say. Superior turned to look at me. I nodded.
"Good. Get ready." I stood on one end of the room and I saw Axel stand on the other side. I met his eyes for the first time today, they held hurt, resent, sadness, and afraidness.
I stood with my hands clasped in front of me and my sword appeared. Axel shot his arms down to his sides and his chakrams were there and he spun them.
As soon as I heard Superior yell go, my fighting senses kicked in and I didn't care who I was fighting.
Axel threw one of his chakrams at me. I took my sword and sliced it in half. He stood there shocked, so I made my move. I ran towards him and swung. He blocked it with his other chakram and held it there. "Mae. I don't want to fight you." He said. I pulled away and tried to hit him again. He blocked it and pushed me away.
I flew back and rolled onto the ground. When I stood up, I saw a wall of fire come at me. I slashed at it and gave me enough room to stand there and not get burnt. Axel grunted and threw his other chakram. I cut that one in half too. I was too busy doing that to notice Axel run at me and grab my sword and threw it across the room.
He threw me to the ground and pinned me. I pushed him off of me so hard he flipped over. My sword appeared in my hands again and I walked over to him. I lifted it up to swing and then I brought it down.

Hahaha. I would make it a cliffhanger. You guys will just have to wait until the next chapter. Sorry. Sorry to all the people who wanted me to write more in the other stories. As my friend has said many times, it is very hard to write like ten stories at a time. I have more in notebooks. One will be on here, but I will write it down first then put it on here. I promise.
Sees you all later. Luv Me
