As always thanks for reviews. Like I said at the end of the last chapter, I'll be moving this summer and I don't know how often I'll be able to update. In case I don't get a chance at all here is a nice long chapter for you guys. Three quick questions, what should Alex do when she finds the killer and what members of the organization do you want to see her interact with, and how should I start her relationship with Zexion? I own nothing recognizable blah, blah, blah.
I stared at the picture for what seemed like hours. This women, Miranda, she truly did look like a 20-25 year old version of me. "If she is your mother than from what I found out she was shot. It seems like both of her parents died when she was 19. She was shot when she was 23. It is truly is possible that she is your mother, the record I found said she had one child." I think my heart skipped a beat. I looked at Zexion with hopeful eyes. "She seems to have connections with a gang known as ASSASIN. But that's all I was able to find. Nothing showed up for the gang, nothing except that that they are highly wanted criminals and the police have a 10,000 munny reward offer for any information regarding them." I had heard about that gang before, but no one had ever seen them. It's said that the only people who see any of the members are the ones that have been marked for death. I remembered how Locke used to scare me by saying I was marked for death and ASSASIN was coming to get me. Once he even teased me by saying that one member killed my mother, I attacked him in a fit of rage after hearing this. Could he have been right?
The next thing Zexion did shocked me and stopped my heart's rhythmic beat for a moment. He hugged me. I was frozen with surprise. When the hug ended he just stared at me before saying "I guess I know how I'll be spending my free time." Was that a blush on his cheeks? I was so thankful for all the help he'd been giving me.
"I don't know how I could possible thank you." I was truly in his debt. After that we sat in silence, but a good silence. After I while we both got up and went our separate ways. I was walking down the long hallways only to run into Larxene. "Oh, Larxene, sorry I didn't see you there. I wasn't watching were I was going." I franticly spoke, hoping she wasn't in a horrible mood. I really didn't want to get electrocuted.
"Calm down kid, I'm in a good mood today. I was just wondering if you wanted to spend some 'girl time'. I have to get away from these idiots." I searched her eyes for any sarcasm and couldn't find it. She seriously wanted to spend time with me. Before I could respond, she grabbed my arm and pulled me through a portal. It opened up in my room and Larxene let go of my arm. "Ok shorty, tomorrow after missions you meet up with me in the grey area and you'll go to the spa with me, got it?" I was kinda shocked with how forward she was being, but also happy she was being nice, sort of.
"Um,ok."
"Great, see ya kid."
I ate dinner with Axel and Demyx, it was nice. Axel is so 'go with the flow' and Demyx is carefree, like a child but in a good way. Larxene even joined us at our table. Weird, usually she was nowhere to be found during dinner or at any other time. After dinner I returned to my room, read for a while and then went to bed, again waking up to a heavy thunder storm. I hated lightning. When I was younger me and Nico were goofing around, then Nico said he wanted to show me a magic trick. He aimed at a dead tree, but missed and the thunder spell hit me instead, putting me into a coma for 4 days. Master Yen Sid was furious; it took countless hours of tears and begging for him to let me play with Nico again. I knew how to cast thunder magic, but I avoided it at all cost. At my previous home whenever a storm would come along I would huddle in a ball under blankets. I got out of bed and noticed that my hair ribbon was sitting on the nightstand. I realized that if it was there Zexion must have returned it while I was sleeping. I felt a blush creep up to my cheeks; I sometimes talk in my sleep. I hope I didn't say anything embarrassing. I brushed my hair and used the ribbon to hold my hair in a ponytail. It kept all but my messy blue tinted bangs out of my eyes.
I blew my bangs out of my face and then ran off to the grey area. Saïx was still staring obsessively at Kingdom Hearts. I walked up to him. I waited for a while but he made no indication that he noticed me. I cleared my throat. He made a growling noise and then turned to face me. "You will be going with Luxord to Wonderland; this is your first real mission. You are to destroy a pack of white mushrooms, defenders and a Trickmaster. Get what you need from the Moogle over there then talk to Luxord when you're ready to go." He turned back to the large moon.
I looked over and saw a small Moogle wearing one of the black coats floating in a corner on the other side of the room. I walked over to it and it simply stared at me. "Um, two hi-potions, elixirs, and one ether, please." I said as I dug through the pocket of my coat searching for my munny poach.
"Uhg, since your new here I'll let it slide this time, but I don't except munny only heart points. Just give me 200 munny and leave." I gave him the munny and was surprised when the little thing snatched it out of my hand and threw the items at me. I looked back at the Moogle and he threw me a dirty look.
I turned and walked over to Luxord. He was sitting on the couch shuffling his cards. He looked up and dismissed his cards. "Alright lass, let's go." He opened a portal and next thing I know we were in wonderland. Luxord shuffled his cards up his right sleeve and down his left. "What a world this is. It's a place of half-truths and false lies; so much so its own inhabitants are unsure of what is reality and what isn't. A mad little place, where if one wanders around for even a little while, they will be lost in a maze, never knowing the world is the maze." He held up a hand of cards, the back facing me, "The inhabitants don't lay down their hand because even they're unsure of the rules of the game that is their world. But I'm starting to learn the rules. And I find that world oh so fun to visit, each time." I bent my head to the side and raised an eyebrow. What was he talking about? I'll just do what I'm told and simply followed him through this bizarre world.
After a while of roaming around we found what we were looking for. The heartless were attacking a girl with blonde hair and a blue dress. This could be a problem. I looked up at Luxord, who was simply smirking and shuffling his cards. I summoned my keyblade and we ran towards the horde. While Luxord threw some of his razor sharp cards at the heartless and I hacked away at them. Several of Luxord's cards exploded on contact. After a while we had gotten all of them, before I could see if the girl was ok Luxord pulled me away. He gave me a serious look and said "We are not supposed to be seen by or interact anyone." before looking for the Trickmaster.
When we did find it, it was trying to pull up several colorful trees looking for something. We both summoned our weapons and unleashed a flurry of various attacks. The heartless was soon defeated and we watch as a little pink heart floated up and then vanished. Luxord chuckled and then opened a portal. We reappeared in the grey area where I saw Larxene siting on one of the couches examine her knives for sharpness. Luxord noticed this and said "good luck, lass." Before disappearing to who knows where.
Larxene obviously heard this and looked up dismissing her kunai. She got up and walked over to me, grabbing my wrist and opening up a portal. Zexion and Lexaeus walked in to the room from their own portal, they must've just finished their mission, they gave us a confused look and I mouthed an 'I don't really know' before Larxene pulled me through the portal
Ok a couple thing. 1, I thought since Alex and Larxene are the only girls they should have an off and on friend relationship. 2, I need ideas for the spa thing and the ASSASIN member, like weapons, names, how many of them, what they look like, and how they're fought. Ok as always review and I hope you liked this chapter. till next chapter, bye
