"DENZEL!" We both yelled and I picked him up. I gasped as he moaned in pain and shuffled around in my hands."Mom..Dad..I'm coming.." He whispered and I looked at Roxas in terror. "Xion, we need to do something.." "What can we do, Roxas?" I whispered. I felt Denzel's muscles tighten and loosen up again. I look around, not sure what to do. "Roxas.."

"Sit down, Xion. There's no cure." I see Roxas' cobalt eyes fill with sadness."If he's going to die, he will die in peace.." He whispered and I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I sat down on our couch. Roxas and I held each other close, his arm on my shoulder and I leaned my head to the crook of his neck as I cradled Denzel, the little boy dying in front of our eyes. My lips parted as I breathed in and out, holding back a sob as his breathing got slower and slower.

More and more tears rolled down my cheeks and I stroked his cheek. So young to die.. And this terrible disease took him away. My mouth opened as I started singing the lullaby my mother used to sing to me before I went to sleep.

"Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away"

Roxas' eyes glittered as he looked at me and smiled softly. He held my hand tightly as he too began to sing for the dying Denzel.

"Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me"

Denzel's breathing got more shallower and shallower. I inhaled and we both sang together, which seemed like the only good thing that happened that day.

"Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die
That's how you and I will be.."

I moved my trembling hand over Denzel's hair and whispered softly. "Goodnight, my Angel."


How long has it been since Denzel died. 15 minutes? An hour? Two?

I don't know. It's so scary how time passes by so fast that before you know it, everyone's dying.

This I began to realize when while Roxas and I were mourning over Denzel's death, Roxas suddenly collapsed to the ground, clutching his right arm.

I realized that everyone dies. No one lives forever.

But I don't want Roxas' to die.

He saved me from being shot. He was there for me when my parents died. Then I also realized exactly when Roxas hit the floor, that I knew, since I met him that I, Xion Tiffany Fair, loved Roxas Ventus Strife.

I didn't like Riku. I only liked him because of his looks. How stupid was I to believe that?

I LOVE Roxas.

But now, instead of confessing to him while he was freaking out on the floor. I actually did something and knelt down.

"Roxas, what's happening?!" I yelled.

"The Stigma.. It's catching.." he groaned and his arm started turning black.

"Roxas.." I moved my hand to touch the arm, but he slapped it away. My mouth opened in shock.

"Xion, don't you realize? It's catching from Denzel.. and I'm dying.." He groaned. My mouth trembled and shook my head."I'd rather die with you than watch you die." I whispered and laid down next to him, our shoulders touching. Roxas looked at me with a confused yet sad expression."Xi-on.."

I reached over and clutched his hand tightly. I hummed softly, keeping both of us calm. Roxas' breathing also got shallower and shallower. I sadly smiled.

Suddenly, there was a bright flash. Brighter than I don't even know what, and Roxas and I shielded our eyes. It couldn't be.. the killer?

No, and thank goodness. I was wrong.

Standing in front of me was the spirit of my mother, Aerith Gainsborough.


Yep.
