Chapter 10: Never Alone

Roxas began walking alone in the Forrest near the Mansion. It was getting dark but it didn't worry him. The Forrest was pretty small anyways and he knew nothing was out to get him in the dark. The Forrest reminded him of the one back home; The one that led to Destiny's Fate Cemetery. His friend was killed but Roxas didn't feel like crying. He didn't mean to, it's just...It's complicating. At that moment in time, He had the key sword but it felt like the first time he saw it was at the Abandoned Mansion. Everything is so confusing!

Why did he forget his last moments on the islands and where did this Key come from anyways?

"All this happened...right when I got this overlarge key!"

"What if Naminé's dead too?!"

"Hey! You shouldn't cast aside your friends knuckle head!" Hayner yelled a few feet away

The young boy faced Hayney, Pence, and Olette with his head hanging down.

"I just need time by myself"

"You don't leave your loved ones alone, no matter what the situation" Olette countered with a serious grin.

A silence became present in Roxas' voice.

"So... what happened back there?" Hayner asked

" I...don't really know. I saw this creepy guy behind me and he began saying these wierd messages that i didn't understand and...I got a headache and fell".

"What did the guy look like?" Pence asked

"I couldn't see. He was wearing a cloak which hid his face.

"Well as long as you're-"

Olette was suddenly cut off by Roxas.

"I'm NOT okay...how can I when all these things are happening to me?! I lost my friends! Axel is dead and...I have no idea where the hell Naminé is!"

"How can you be so sure Axel is dead?" Olette asked.

"Because I remembered"

Olette gasped and covered her mouth with her hands

"Roxas, I'm so-"

"I'm alright"

Roxas raised his hand and called the key sword from nowhere.

"It's called a keyblade. I know because when it first appeared in my hands, back in the islands, i heard a voice call it that".

He forcefully held the keyblade in his palms and threw it deep into the forest.

"All this happened when i got this stupid blade!"

The three could only watch as Roxas broke down in tears.

Olette came close to him and gave him a deep-rooted hug.
