Truly about time I updated. Not as bad as before though! :) I'll make a deal. Every 1-2 weeks I'll update! That sounds fair for me.

Chapter 11: Unfortunate Consequences

Hour- 3:04

November 25th, 2011.

Third Hour

"Sora? Sora?"

No matter how many times I heard him say it, I just couldn't find myself to respond. Her face, it was more than just cut, it was savagely mangled, sliced raggedly from her head. The massacre left a giant blood mess on the ground, making it harder for me to look at. The thought of being in the room with a dead body was disturbing enough as is. I can't even imagine the terrible pain that she had gone through.

"Sora! Get up! We have to warn everyone else! I have to go! They need us." My body finally caught up with time.

"Ok..." I found a wall to steady myself up and started to follow Roxas back to the therapy room. Treading through the halls, I notice what hall we enter. The dark shadows creeping around the walls, the dust and cobwebs spreading across the corners, and the unmentionable smell toxicating the area. We were in the creepiest hall there was. Vanitas' hall.

Of course! He was the perfect suspect. He wasn't there during the crimes, he seems crazy enough to be so. At least by what I heard.

I noticed Roxas had left, forgetting about me being behind him. I wouldn't blame him. An expectant girlfriend was waiting for his return. It was better he protect her rather than me. Plus it wasn't near the end of the hour, so I was in the clear. Slowly walking up to what I remembered to be Vanitas' room, I pressed against to take a look inside.

Through the glass, I noticed a boy with jet black hair just sitting in his room. His eyes were as yellow as a fire. They scorched my sight just looking at them. I was scared just to look at him. Whatever made a tough looking guy like Riku scared, I think would scare me too.

Finishing my thought, I noticed a pair of eyes directly against the glass staring right back at me. I jolted back a bit, terrified with his sudden approach. I must have dozed off in my thoughts, not noticing him nearing me. He looked absolutely fearsome.

"You gonna wait there or what?" he said. His voice was calm, deep, and shockingly normal. I entered the room, finding it to be what a typical teenage boy would have his room to be. This kid might even be more normal looking than me perhaps. Funny.

"So what's with the peep show?"

"Wh-what?"

"Why were you staring in my room?" he asked, fiddling around with an acoustic guitar. I didn't get why everyone was scared of him. He seemed fine.

"I don't get it. Why are you here?" I needed answers. Obviously someone is lying. It didn't seem like anything fit in this puzzle. I don't get it.

"By what do you mean here?" He said while strumming a few chords. By the sound of it, he seemed to be playing 'Time of Your Life' by Green Day. The notes, the rhythm. He was good.

"Not to sound like a dick or anything but what's wrong with you?" Oh subtle. Not like that question is going to offend anyone who may slit your throat or anything.

"There are plenty of things wrong with me." Still strumming his guitar, he didn't even bother to look me in the eye while we talk. He remained focused on his music, ignoring me. This was really pissing me off. He invites me in, and does nothing. What the hell?

"That's not what I meant-"

"But that's what you asked..." he countered as quickly as I could talk. He was just asking to get hit. It was times like these that made me wish I had a quick beer to take me away.

"Look! I'm trying to find out how to save us. If you haven't heard, there's a murderer killing us one by one."

"And I'm your culprit..."

He nailed my thoughts dead on. It was almost like he could read them.

"Listen, I don't really give a damn what others think about me but I do know that I'm not your guy. The others and I don't get along because I was always allowed out. Free to run outside this clinic. The other patients didn't like the treatment I got. Rumors were spread, kids were mistaught, yada yada yada..." he went on as he strummed his instrument even harder in anger. I could've sworn that his eyes just flashed red. His face cringed in the thought of the others.

"So you were outcasted..."

"Basically... I'm not crazy at all actually if that's what you mean. I'm Aqua's son. You know her right?"

Aqua was one of the doctors here. Kind, sweet, yet always threatened by Xehanort when he was alive. I always knew that if he didn't blackmail her so much, she would've called the police on his ass a long time ago after the incident with Kairi. I never understood what he did to scare her so much. What made her so scared to even work or even obey the likes of him.

Everyday she came instead of him, it was like a mom from away from home. She even talked about how she hated Xehanort to us, explaining how she would always regret getting caught up with him.

"She was the other doctor, the one that Xehanort threatened if she'd called the cops."

Vanita's turned back, looking down at his knees. "She did it to protect me." He said, pulling a sleeve down to reveal multiple slits. "I've been depressed ever since she had..." he sighed, still looking away from my eyes. He wasn't looking away being rude, but from shame.

Now I understood. He wasn't crazy, or insane, just misunderstood. He never really had a chance to show his side of the story.

"She had to help Xehanort with all his schemes in order to keep me safe. The thing with Zexion, Kairi's wardrobe, Namine's food thing, she came up with it..."

"But why? Can't Xehanort come up with his own?"

Vanitas just shook his head, his eyes blinking away what little tears that begged to fall. "He punishes everyone."

I finally understood. Looking at the clock, I saw the time. '3:48' I needed to get back soon. "I got to go. Lock your doors and don't let anyone get to you." I made sure he would keep from getting killed. I actually kinda like this kid, he reminded me of myself.

Finally leaving the room, I noticed the clock again '4:00'

I paced to the therapy room, looking around to keep my surroundings secure. "Not today murderous bastard." I shakily ran to the door and opened it to find my peers scared out of their wits. Everyone's skin was pale white, shivering in a corner across the room. Kairi ran from her seat on the ground to hug me. Olette, flipped her cards nervously, shuffling to distract herself. Hayner and Pence didn't look anywhere close to their natural goofy selves. Namine was shaking all alone, crying a bit. They must have found out about Larxene and how she died.

She. Larxene. She was dead now. It's kinda hard to believe actually. Thinking. It was almost like a cruel insane prank and she would just walk back in. Like how I would imagine everyone who was gone to be. Just pretending. But reality was to quick and caught up with me right when Kairi said it.

Kairi released me, looking at me shyly. Her shivering form made it worse to look at. Obviously she would help me catch up in what had happened. Something other than Larxene's death has shaken everyone up. This was something else. Her shaky voice, sobbing voice couldn't even hide the surprise that was hiding from me.

"Roxas is missing and... and Aqua is dead..."

Review time:

OrganizationsNumberXIII: I'm glad I make such effect! :) haha! Don't get nightmares!

Otherguy14: Yeah I want a very unique murder for each victim... but this one will be revealed next chapter... :)

XIIIXV: I'll be honest, playing the game I developed a great hatred for her and cheered when she died... hehe... but I respect her. She gets what she wants. :)

Yunie Tatlin: It's a voice changer effect thus the "Deep voice"... maybe I should've enlightened on that. :) She is a bitch! I hate her...

Hiddensecret564: Yeah it's when Paranoia strikes. Ya know when you don't even trust your best friends when something happens. Yeah...

nin4: I think I may change the rating to M cause the gore i want to write is much more intense. Would you believe Larxene's death was underdone and I could've been much more graphic... (yeah no more horror movies for you Gigi...) hahaha

onyxrose: Oh I know! I'm just very dramatic. I thought it was funny though! :)

St. Iggy the Pyro: Same here... I hate her yet respect her in a way. She is a bitch but has a sense of "get 'er done" in her (texas gal here) Yeah i kinda love all those characters you listed there so I will hate myself too if I kill them! BUT if the story begs for it, I must obey. Thanks for the support! :)

So I'm totally excited for next chapter cause I know what happens and you will all be shocked! *TAUNT* so I'll get it all done soon! :) Thanks for reading!
