OK, so I'm bored waiting for reviews and I am updating. Don't count on this too much, I really need the reviews, they inspire me to write, I don't have much outside stuff that does that. I picked this one at random, so it was luck of the draw. Who knows might update others too. R&R for updates, please and thank you. Music is my inspiration for this one. What song? Idk, just listening to a mix.
Chapter 11- The Day of Days
Onyx woke with a start. Something falls from her stomach to the sand beneath her hammock. Cautiously, she sits up in the hammock and feels her head. She had a headache and was sore in places, but felt fine otherwise. She climbs down from her hammock, and crouches down to pick up the little box with the note. She sits where she was, and reads the note. 'Sorry' it read in Axel's writing. He must truly feel bad for injuring her. She opens the box. It was a pretty hair clip, a little plain, but it suited her. Smiling, she rolled her hair up and stuck the pin through. It held nicely. She stood, and straightened her clothing, before looking around her, bored. Just as she was about to open a corridor to Twilight Town, one opens behind her. Out comes Larxene who looked very angry.
"What are you doing here?" Onyx asks. She'd had a nice respite from dealing with the woman too much since Marly realized that she hadn't been training Onyx. The blonde scowls at Onyx, and opens another corridor shoving her into it. They were back at the woods outside of Twilight Town, where the two had first trained. "Ok, what's going on," Onyx asks Larxene.
"Marluxia decided it would be fun to make me have you see what kind of Nobody followed your commands. Which is stupid, you are too useless to have any real control over them," she replies angrily. She gives a brief explanation of how to summon the lesser Nobodies. "You're will be the most plentiful," she adds rolling her eyes. Onyx concentrated on what the blonde said, and suddenly is surrounded by Dusk. Which was okay with her, because they were more plentiful. She had a virtual army at her disposal. Larxene looks bored.
"Well go away if you have such an issue being around me. You've done your task," Onyx tells her. The blonde scowls at her opening a Corridor and stepping through. Onyx turned and walked to town. She glanced around the little shops and the places she used to visit. She stared up at the clock tower and opened up a Corridor to there. She looked out at the view before her. It was breathtaking seeing the town from so high up. Turning from it, she goes back to her little island.
Axel answered Xemnas's summoning. It was an Organization Meeting, meaning everyone would be in attendance. He took his seat and stared up at Xemnas bored already. But the meeting wouldn't stay boring long apparently. Not one to dally around, Xemnas threw the kicker right out. "Whoever can bring me the Nobody with red eyes, will become my right hand man, and ruler of Castle Oblivion," he says. Marluxia's eyes bulge.
"But you've already given Castle Oblivion to me," he says quickly. Axel could practically see the thoughts racing through the pinkette's head. Thoughts of how he could control Onyx and give her to Xemnas. Because the only way Marly could continue his plots of taking over, would be if he had Castle Oblivion to operate in secretly.
"Ah, but it is a prize to be won isn't it? If you want to keep it I suggest you bring that girl to me," the man with orange eyes said cunningly. So that was Xemnas's plans. Dangle Marly's plans over him to attain what he wanted. Very smart. It looked like the time to relocate Onyx was now. He thought back to how much munny he had. It should be enough to get her somewhere. She couldn't use a portal but to get off of her island. Which meant she'd have to go to one of the big worlds, one that had several cities. Maybe he would send her to Kairi's home. Destiny Islands. Tell her to be careful going out at night and all that.
As the meeting was adjourned, he carefully kept his face schooled into a bored expression. Demyx bounced right up to him chattering about the meeting. When Demyx didn't stop at his room, but continued to walk with Axel, Axel stopped him. "Not right now Demy, I've still got a mission to do. Xemnas called me back from the mission for that silly meeting." Demyx pouted, but continued to stand there. Axel hugged him awkwardly. "Go on, I've gotta get going," Axel said, nudging Demyx who sighed and took the few steps back to his room and went in. Axel finished walking back to his room and grabbed the little box under his bed he stashed his munny in, then opened a Corridor. Onyx looked shocked to see the redhead. She sat up and stepped out of her hammock when he dropped the box on the sand.
"Whats going on?" Onyx asks. Axel gives her a look. One that she had trouble deciphering. Was it sadness? Axel tosses her the bag she had for her belongings.
"Pack up, you're going into hiding." he says. Onyx scrambles over to her things, and throws them all in the bag, and picks it up, putting the strap over her shoulder. Axel picks up the little box and opens a Corridor to Destiny Islands. To the little island Kairi, Sora, and Riku used to play at. They were in 'The Secret Place'. "Don't go out at night, or down any alleyways. Stay in a group if possible. This is...the last time we are going to talk. If I have any more contact with you than this, there is a chance Marluxia or someone else from the Organization might find you. Even if you see me here you must ignore me. Make a new life for yourself, go back to using your old name. Or pick out an entirely new one. This box has all of my munny. Use it to get you an apartment or something." he says, handing the box to her.
Onyx gives Axel a sad look. She wasn't ready to leave yet. And she definitely wasn't ready to stop seeing him. "But what about giving you your heart?" she whispers. She couldn't do this. She'd finally found her dream guy and now he was leaving. She felt broken.
"You don't even know how to do it. You figure that out and you can come back," he tells her. Turning around to walk away before she cries, she is stopped by Axel's hand on her shoulder. "And Onyx...be careful," he adds. Axel opens a Corridor and steps through. He flops down on his bed and sighs. What was he going to do when Marluxia found out what he'd done?
Onyx didn't move from the spot she was standing in. Her shoulder was still warm from Axel's hand, but the warmth was fading. Start over huh? Yea, she would. But she would continue practicing her abilities, and she would try to figure out what she could about hearts, and what her connection was to them. She crawled out of the little cave and walked over to the docks. There weren't any boats but she had hoped there was. Contemplating using a Corridor, she instead decided to swim, and floated her bag on a bed of sticks and leaves she arranged.
She arrived at the main island and pulled herself onto the beach. A girl in a blue and white school uniform and her friend run up to her. The girl had shoulder length reddish brown hair and the friend's hair was blond. "Hey are you ok?" the girl asks.
"I'm fine," Onyx replies, standing. Her muscles were worn out from the swim. She turns and sits, opening her bag and checking on her belongings. She considers the friend's next question. Where should she say she's from? Amnesia sounded like a good plan. "I woke up on that island over there. I don't know remember anything." she said.
"Well do you know you're name?" the reddish brown haired girl asks. Onyx contemplates. Axel said to change her name. She thought long and hard about names she'd used in her stories. There was one that stuck out that she liked. And if she rearranged the letters it made a good Nobody name too. She made a face.
"I think its Vaia," Onyx replies. Vaia, rearranged with Xemnas's naming system, was Aviax. (A-ve-ax It kind of sounds like aviary if that helps). Onyx stands up and pulls her bag onto her shoulders. Before she'd left she'd stuffed the munny Axel gave her in her bag and it had stayed dry thankfully. She'd left the box back on the island, but she would go back for it later. The reddish brown haired girl introduces herself and her friend.
"I'm Kairi and this is Selphie," she says. She leads the way into the town, and to the nice building she said was her house. They walk in and she calls for her father. A man walks in, who intoduces himself as both Kairi's father and the mayor of the town. He then told Onyx about how he found Kairi on the beach when she was little.
"Wow, your ocean must be a portal to other worlds," Onyx says smiling. They leave soon after and Onyx shows them all of the munny she had. "I think I must have been running away or something because I have all of this. I guess this would be a great place to start out new." Kairi smiles and takes Onyx to the realty type office. Really it was just a building where they handed out slips with a lot number and that was your house. Then you paid them munny every month til you owned it. There was also utilities to pay for of course. Onyx would have to get Kairi's father to vouch for her to get a real job.
She paid the down payment, received her lot number and went to go check out what she got. It was a small building tucked in against some bigger buildings. It was a 2 bedroom, and it was pretty cute. It wasn't the most amazing building but it would do. She dropped her backpack on the floor and frowned a little. It was bare. She grabbed her munny and walked outside with the two. They wandered around till they found the nearest furniture store and bought her a bed. Kairi called her guy friends and they carried the frame and mattress to her house and into the biggest bedroom. They set it up and left. "You're just one person, why do you need a queen sized bed?" Selphie asks.
"I hope I'm not always going to be alone," Onyx says, giving the two a small smile. "I want to grow up and have a family," she says, thinking of Axel and blushing. The two girls laughed and walked out.
"Goodbye Vaia see you tomorrow!" they called. Onyx went through her few belongings and laid them out neatly in the corner of her room. She counted how much munny she still had and sighed. She'd have to work so hard to make this place a real home. And then there was all of the research she wanted to do on the heart. She flops on her bed and calls it a night.
Well what did you think? I know it got a little boring at the end but I couldn't really help it I had to get her settled in Destiny Islands. Ending a chapter bad is better than starting one bad in my opinion. Read and review if you still like this story. Hopefully I can still keep finding the inspiration to continue writing these stories. That said, thank you and good night.
