Alright...Um...Well I apparently wrote this back in March of 2016 and completely forgot about it...Welp
Past me: I'm going to write this 'till I finish. I am writing so fast.
Current me: Uh...why did I want to write this again? Why was I so motivated?
Past me: Idk. But you should continue!
Currently me: Well...I'll try to...but I still got so many stories to work on. Enjoy though!
Also I finally thought to use the photoshopped image of Axel that started this whole story for the cover image.
Ch.9
When Axel entered the jail cell hallway he saw a small key hook with two keys on it. He took one of them and headed down to the cell Zexion was in. Zexion sat on the floor facing away from the cell door, but when he heard Axel approach he turned around.
"What do you want?" He asked bitterly.
"I'm here to help you out, so you don't starve to death." Axel said as he slowly opened the cell door. As soon as the door was open, Zexion got up and ran past Axel. He started running down the hallway towards the throne room. "Stop!" Axel yelled.
Just as Zexion was about to grab the door and open it, the door swung open and hit him in the face. He stumbled back as the door fully opened. Holden stood in the doorway, wide-eyed. Zexion ran his hand over his face before looking at Holden. Both of them stared at each other for a moment before Holden walked right up to Zexion and looked him in the face.
"What do you think you're doing?! Standing in front the door like that!" Holden yelled, then she carefully looked at Zexion. "Wait a minute… I recognize your face." Her eyes widened. "You! What are you doing here!?" She shouted before punching Zexion right in the face, causing him to fall to the ground unconscious.
Holden looked towards Axel, who walked slowly over to her, "Axel, what is he doing here? He is a Vampire Hunter. He's the one who shot me a few nights ago. But wait…" Holden said as she thought it over. "Red eyes… Axel what happened?"
"You may want to ask Mira that, but she needs to rest first." Axel said.
Holden sighed, "I see. Well I am not happy to see him here." Holden grumbled before turning around and heading back the way she came.
Axel walked over to Zexion and waited for him to wake up. After a minute he let out a groan. "Oh...what happened? Who was that?" Zexion asked.
"That was Holden. She is a vampire who you apparently shot at a few nights ago."
"Damn, she can really punch hard." He said rubbing his face. He stood up and looked at Axel and sighed. "You said you'd help me? What will you do then?"
"Since you're a vampire now, you need to drink blood. I'll help you figure out what to do." Axel said.
Zexion scowled. "Fine. Help me. I don't know what else to do, I just feel so hungry."
"Ok, let's go." Axel said as he grabbed Zexion's arm tightly and started pulling him down the hallway.
"You don't have to drag me along…" Zexion grumbled.
"I can't let you run away." Axel stated as they walked up the stairs. The exited out into the forest and Axel started to look around. He soon saw the eyes of an animal a few feet away. He slowly approached and the animal stayed where it was. Axel let go of Zexion "You'll have to drink that animal's blood."
Zexion grumbled, showing that he was not happy with this at all. "How though?"
Axel shook his head "I don't know. Just go and try. Just don't go and drink all of its blood." Axel said as Zexion kneeled down towards the animal.
It took a few minutes but Zexion finally grabbed onto the animal and drank some of its blood. After that, it ran into a bush. Zexion then stood up and Axel grabbed him his arm again. Zexion sighed, "Do you need to keep holding on to me."
Axel sighed and slowly nodded, "I can't trust you as of now, even if you were my friend once."
Zexion scoffed again, but didn't say a word more as they headed back to the staircase. When they got to the bottom of the stairs, Holden was there about to head up. She glared at Zexion and walked up to him. She grabbed the collar if his cloak and pulled him closer to her.
"Don't think that I will ever forget who you are, or what you did. You better not do anything to make me mad." Holden said.
"I...um" Zexion tried to say something but was cut off by Holden.
"Don't say anything, I got my eyes on you. I don't like you." Holden said before slapping Zexion hard in the face. She then pushed past him and Axel and headed up the stairs.
Zexion and Axel stood there in silence for a moment before Zexion rubbed the side of his face that Holden has slapped. There was a red hand mark on his cheek, "What's with her? What's her problem?"
"She doesn't like you because you're a Vampire Hunter. Plus, like I said before, you apparently shot at her a few nights ago." Axel said as he crossed his arms.
"Oh that was her…But is she really going to beat me up every time she sees me? I really hope not." Zexion turned around and looked at Axel, "Is she always that rude and violent?"
"Nope, not from what I've seen. Man, she must really hate your guts. Now come on, get back to your cell."
"Fine…" Zexion sighed and walked back into the cell, which had a mattress, blankets, and a pillow now placed on the floor. He sat down on the mattress and crossed his arms. "Now what?
"You're probably going to get really tired and fall asleep. That's what happened to me." Axel explained.
"How can you deal with this so calmly? How can you accept being a vampire?" Zexion asked as he crossed his arms.
Axel shrugged, "I don't know, I wasn't happy at first, but now I don't really care. My friends Roxas and Xion are here now, I don't have to hide from them or anything."
"So you have new friends, you just forgot about me and Saix and got new friends." Zexion mumbled quietly as he laid down on the mattress. Axel opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. He sighed heavily and walked down the hallway, leaving Zexion to be alone.
Axel walked back to Mira's room and slowly opened the door. Axel quietly walked over to Mira to see that she was sleeping peacefully on her bed. "Mira?" He whispered quietly.
Mira slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Axel, "You're back." She smiled as she sat up. "How did it go with Zexion?"
"Uh alright I guess. He only tried to run away once, but Holden stopped him. I don't know if he will ever cooperate though," Axel said as he sat down next to Mira on the bed, while Mira sat up.
"Don't be top upset about it. If anyone should be upset, it's me. It's all my fault." Mira looked down and sighed, tears filling her eyes. "I'm just as bad as Alec was."
Axel gasped. He was shocked that Mira would say something like that, "Mira! Don't say that, you know that's not true. I know it's not true. What you did was not the same as what Alec did."
"But…" Mira started, but Axel grabbed her shoulders, looking her directly in the eyes.
"It's not the same. Please don't let yourself think that," Axel said.
Mira slowly wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled at Axel. "Thank you Axel. I'm glad you're here for me."
Alright...So I finally posted this chapter that was written for so long. Sorry about that. I can't remember all to well, but I guess something came up and I was too busy and then I forgot. I still wanna write and finish this (as I do my other stories), but I am just trying to find my motivation again for most of them.
But anyways, hope you enjoyed one of my more stranger random stories.
