"That doesn't look right," Roxas complained looking over his brother's shoulder at the map he had made.
"It doesn't matter as long as we can read it later," Sora replied. Roxas jumped a little hearing someone stomp the floor upstairs.
"We have to hide it without daddy seeing us leave," Sora told him.
"Lets go then," Roxas told them and they went up the stairs quietly.
"You hold on to this," Sora told him passing him the key. Roxas nodded and slipped it in his pocket. Sora opened the door a little and looked around to see that no one was there. They went on out the door and quietly down the hall, through the living room, and out the front door. Roxas quietly shut the door and they walked down the sidewalk. No one gave the twins a second look; they just walked down the busy street all the way to their secret spot.
"Oh, I remember now," Roxas told them.
"But this leads to the beach," Sora told him.
"No, you just weren't able to read it, it leads to the secret spot, near the beach," Roxas told him pointing to places on the map.
"Exactly," Tron told them.
"So grab Axel and Demyx and we can get there in…did you call it Hyper Mode," Roxas asked.
"Yes, but I must warn you, the box leads to your past, and sometimes the reason you don't remember your past is because it hurt too much," Tron told them. Roxas nodded and then the world sped up again.
"Run," Roxas yelled. Axel looked at him funny and but when he was knocked to the ground he under stood. Axel jumped to his feet and they were running through the town. Roxas looked back and saw nothing. He looked forward and there was his dad. All four stopped right in front of him and then they turned around and there was the guy with the eye patch.
"How did he do that," Demyx asked looking from person to person. Roxas looked around and saw that there were a few people looking at them. The guy with the eye patch came at Roxas who easily moved to the side, but the man with the eye patch quickly recovered and came at Roxas again, this time knocking him down.
"Hold it right there," a voice yelled. Roxas turned to see some police officers coming from the crowd. Soon the guy with the eye patch pulled out a gun and had it pointed straight at Roxas. Roxas couldn't breathe, he couldn't move.
"Why should I," he asked with a smirk.
"Put down the gun," the officer told him. Roxas was frozen, it was different when you looked down the barrel of a gun. The next moment went by in slow motion for Roxas. Sora jumped the guy with the eye patch and there was a loud crack and when Sora hit the ground he rolled over holding his arm tight, The police rushed over and hand cuffed the guy with the eye patch and Roxas heard one call for an ambulance.
"Sora," Roxas whispered. When Sora moved his hand there was blood all over it and cut up his sleeve.
They didn't let Roxas ride in the ambulance with Sora; instead he was riding in the back of the police car with Axel and Demyx. No one said a word; they were all shocked from what just happened. Roxas couldn't believe that he wasn't with Sora. The last they had saw of him, he was unconscious and was really pale.
Don't worry Roxas; he will be fine the voice that Roxas figures was Tron told him.
How do you know, I can't believe that he got shot, and because of me Roxas told him.
Roxas, I'm in his head to, and I can tell you that he is okay.
Wait, you were in his head, what was he thinking before he went unconscious?
"I told you I could be brave,"
What?
That was what he was thinking, Roxas thought about the whole ride to the hospital. Roxas knew Sora was brave, why was he thinking that. As soon as the car stopped Roxas shot out the door and into the hospital.
"Stop right there," a doctor said stopping Roxas.
"I'm going to see my brother," Roxas struggled.
"I promise you will be the first to see him, but you can't go back there now," the doctor told him.
"I'm going to see him," Roxas yelled. Axel and Demyx pulled him back.
"You're not going to help Sora by yelling at the doctors," Axel told him. Roxas just shrugged them off and sat down in one of the chairs. It was the longest twenty minutes of Roxas life, and then a nurse came out.
"Are you Sora's brother," she asked and Roxas looked up quickly from hearing his brother's name.
"Is he okay, can I see him," Roxas asked jumping up.
"Calm down, he is fine. He got lucky the bullet only opened the skin. Let me tell the doctor something and I will take you to him, he's asleep so don't wake him" she told him. Roxas nodded and she took him down the hall to a room where Sora was laying in the bed. Roxas walked in and sat in the chair that was beside Sora. He wished he could talk to Sora or something.
"I'm sorry Sora," Roxas whispered. He was hoping that somehow, Sora could hear him.
"Roxas, there are some people who want to talk to you," the nurse told him. Roxas sighed and left, looking back at Sora, he then left to find a policeman standing there.
"Are you Roxas Hikari," he asked in a rough tone.
"Yes,"
"Can you answer some questions," he asked.
"I'm not leaving my brother,"
"No, we can talk in the room just up the all here,"
"Fine," Roxas answered quietly following him. They went into a grey room and Roxas sat down in one of the chairs.
"We identified the man that shot your brother but I want to know why the man was after you,"
"He was working with our father, the other guy,"
"There was no other man,"
"Yes there was,"
"Lets move on, why did you flee the scene that when your brother was murdered,"
"He was after us and Riku tried and stopped him,"
"Your father,"
"Yes,"
"Very well, you can go back to your brother," the policeman told him writing something down. Roxas nodded and left and headed back down the hall to find Demyx and Axel in the room.
"What are we going to do," Axel asked as Roxas walked in and took his seat by Sora.
"I'm staying here with Sora, no matter what," Roxas told them.
"They're not going to let us go and get that box when Sora comes around, you know that right," Axel pointed out. Then Sora started jerking in the bed.
"Sora," Roxas asked as some doctors rushed in the room.
"What's the matter with him," Axel asked as he took a step back.
"I don't know, his heart rate is up but everything else is fine, it's like, he's having a nightmare," the doctor told them and them Sora kicked him in the stomach.
"Sora," Roxas yelled again and as if on cue Sora began to calm down. The beeping noise on the machine by him slowed. The doctors cleared out of the room and the nurse came back in.
"The police wanted to know where you plan on staying and how they can get a hold of your guardians," she asked politely.
"I'm staying here with my brother," Roxas told her.
"And you two of you," she asked looking at Axel and Demyx.
"We're staying with them," Axel told her.
"And what about your guardians," she asked.
"We don't have any," Roxas mumbled.
"Very well then," the nurse told them and left. Soon she came back with some pillows and blankets. After some arguing, Axel got the bed because he was the tallest. Demyx slept in a blue recliner that was in the corner and Roxas pulled two chairs together. Roxas lay there for a little while and then finally drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
Sora and Roxas played in the sand with no one but each other. They would look up sometimes to see what there mom was doing. Riku was off playing with his friend Leon. Soon a boy walked up.
"I'm Tidus," the boy told them.
"I'm Sora," Sora told him.
"And I'm Roxas," Roxas told him.
"Can I play to," he asked and the two nodded.
'Why do you two look so much alike," Tidus asked.
"We're twins," Sora told him.
"Oh," Tidus answered. So the four year-old boys sat on the beach, playing with each other in the sand. Soon there was another boy who ran up and kicked over Sora's sand castle.
"Hey," Sora yelled.
"What," the boy asked turning to see the younger boy.
"You knocked over my sand castle," Sora told him with a pout.
"And what are you going to do about it," the boy asked towering over Sora.
"Sora, Roxas, mom wants…what's going on here," Riku asked coming over.
"He knocked over my sand castle," Sora told him pointing to the boy and the boy glared at him causing young Sora to whimper and run behind Riku.
"What, you have to run behind big brother Riku," the boy said in a mocking tone.
"They're four, you're twelve, doesn't that mean that you should be fighting someone your own age," Riku asked crossing his arms.
"I wouldn't be talking Riku; it looks like you've lost a lot of fights yourself. Just look at that black eye you have right now," the boy retorted.
"I didn't get that from a fight, I fell out of a tree," Riku threw back.
"Boys, come on," their mom yelled behind them.
"Tidus," someone called. Tidus turned and ran to a man that Roxas thought was his dad.
"Go to mommy," the boy taunted.
"I'll show you mommy," Riku told him and punched the boy.
"Come on guys," Riku told them leaving the boy on the ground rubbing his jaw.
"Riku, how did you get that brave," Sora asked.
"He wasn't that big," Riku told them.
"He was to us," Roxas implied.
"Well, you're brave to Sora," Riku told him with a smile.
"Sora can't be brave," Roxas laughed.
"I can to be brave," Sora told him with a stern face.
"Sure," Roxas told him.
"I'll prove it to you someday," Sora told him.
Roxas opened his eyes and was smiling.
I believe you now Sora, you're brave, but why would you think something like that while you had a gunshot wound on your arm Roxas thought. It was a funny thought. Then he heard someone open the door to the room. He sat up and froze at who he saw.
Well there you people go, you wanted Sora to be a little braver, he was, and I got to put an extra twist in the story, and this is defiantly the longest chapter of the story. I need three reviews or no update.
