Merry Christmas, Hannah.
I woke up to the sound of something metal falling to the floor. I tried to sit up to see what was going on, but I couldn't. It was then I realized that I was strapped to the hospital bed I was lying on. I thought back to what had happened.
I was with Demyx in the jungle.
I tried to leave with Demyx through the portal.
I got abducted by Ansem, I think.
Now, I'm here, strapped to a table counting my last remaining seconds of not life. Surely Ansem would kill me. I wonder if Demyx knows I'm gone. He has to, right? I mean, me and Axel were getting closer so he'd most likely ask for me. But when would that be? I sighed. No one would bother if I was left here. I'm weak. I got captured by some old man! If Ansem doesn't kill me, I think I'll just do everyone a favor and...no, not kill myself. That'd be dumb. I guess I'd just go somewhere where I am needed.
But where am I needed?
Suddenly, I heard the creak of a door open and some footsteps shuffling across the floor.
"Well, awake now, are we? Let me tell you what I'm going to do. I'm giong to extract that light of yours. It's the only thing keeping you alive. If you didn't have that power, the darkness in your eye would have spread to the rest of your body and destroyed you. Demyx knew that. He doesn't care about you. Deep down, he's just like me."
"You're wrong!" I shouted. Demyx wouldn't experiment on me. I've seen him look at me! He looked so sad, like he was regretting something. He was regretting getting me involved, that's for sure.
"Oh, am I? We'll see if he comes for you then." He said, picking up something from the table next to me. I couldn't see what it was and I don't think I do. Whatever it was......it hurt.
I screamed.
Riku impatiently knocked on the door of Neverwas Castle, an unconscious Sora draped over his shoulder. He knocked again, this time harder. No one was answering! "Answer the door, you pitiful excuses for an evil society!"
The door slowly creaked open and Riku breathed a sigh of relief. The Cloaked Schemer poked his head out and Riku nearly pummeled his face in. "Riku, Sora. What would you like from us today?"
What were they at, a fastfood restaurant!?
Actually, that'd be kind of funny. An Organization working in a McDonalds.. Riku sniggered to himself but then remembered why he was there. "Where's Roxas?" He demanded. Zexion only nodded and opened the door all the way. He began to walk away and Riku, irritated, followed after.
Following Zexion through the white halls wasn't a problem. They soon arrived in a room much similar to Riku's living room back in Destiny Islands. Zexion took Sora from Riku's arms, much to his dismay and laid him carefully onto the couch behind them. Sora was pale and didn't look very healthy at all. Zexion wondered what Roxas would have to do with anything. Sure, they were connected, but was it really Roxas' fault Sora had fallen ill?
"Where's Roxas? Sora said we need to find him."
"I don't know." Zexion answered, turning back to Riku.
"Why don't you know?" Riku said gravely, glaring through his bangs at the lesser of the Originals.
"Demyx has not yet returned to tell me."
"So, if we find Demyx, we find Roxas. Right?"
"It's a possibility."
"Where's Demyx?"
"I don't know."
"Augh!" Riku yelled in frustration, gripping his hair and nearly pulling some out. Why did Zexion have to be so..so…dumb?!
Zexion tilted his head at Riku in confusion, smirking at his obvious distress. He held his hand out and summoned a portal to the Darkness. "This is the portal Demyx used last. I don't know where it goes, but I promise you he's there. You might not like what you find though. I'm sorry, I have to take my leave now. Goodbye."
Riku sighed and turned back to his best friend whose eyes blinked open and stared. His expression was blank and Riku's heart did a funny flip in his chest before leaving the poor boy with the feeling someone was squeezing the life out of him.
He hoisted Sora up from the couch and back into his arms. He kept his eyes forward and he braved the darkness once again by walking through the portal.
Demyx kicked at the rubble sitting at his feet, reluctant to move forward. Was this really important? Roxas wasn't really his friend, so to speak. No one would miss Roxas. Except for Axel, Demyx noted as he saw the redhead standing patiently at his side.
He sighed and started to walk toward that wretched laboratory until he heard a scream. He really didn't want to do this. He could run away. That was what Demyx did best afterall, but that was also cowardly and Demyx was no coward!
Or at least, that's what he tried to convince himself as he pushed the door to a building open, Axel still at his heels.
Um, so... yeah. After a very long while, this here is what some call an....update, I think it was?
You can hit me, if you'd like. Flame me, if you prefer. Whap me with rhinoceros skin.. Drench me with slug slime..
I'm just sorry!! I realized after writing about three more paragraphs that half of what I'd written absolutely SUCKED so I deleted it and this is what I ended up with and I really wanted this up today! So, come after me if I don't have another chapter by Thursday. It'll be short, like this one. (this one is precariously short.... DX) I just get intimidated when I set myself to a writingwordlimitthing. Normal chapters are like, 4000? This one's only 876. TT_TT I apologize.
Again.
