Chapter 13:

I had a lot of things to think about. I had the issue with Zexion pushing me and the gang all away. I had my issue of loving him. I had the issue on whether he was Bi or gay, which kind of went hand-in-hand with my 'I like him' issue. Not to mention school created issues such as bullies, bad grades and hatful teachers. Now, I get my uncle being a possible vampire hunter and what to do about that to add to my list. Isn't my life fun?

So I spent all dinner trying to think all these things through. I don't even know what I ate for dinner, I was so engrossed with my thoughts. The one that that broke me out of said thoughts was one of the issues. Xemnas.

"Demyx, would you like to accompany me on a walk around your neighborhood? I can see you have a lot on your mind, and walking helps." He was giving me a smile.

"Uh… sure. Why not?"

"Have fun!" My mother shouted from the kitchen. I rolled my eyes. My family being nice was just a show for Xemnas because I was his favorite. We walked outside into the crisp, fresh nighttime air.

"So… Demyx…. I get the feeling you aren't telling me everything about this Zexion." He wasn't looking directly at me but I knew he was watching me from the corner of his eyes.

"What is else is there to tell. I've already told you everything." He frowned, still looking straight ahead. I copied the expression.

"Demyx…. I have…." He sighed. "I know many things. I think I may know Zexion, but I need your corporation."

"I've given my corporation." I hissed out through clenched teeth. Why wouldn't he leave me alone! He was adding to my list of issues!

"No. No, Demyx, you haven't." He stopped walking. I stopped a few steps in front of him and turned around. I pretended to be confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about Saix! That's Zexion's brother isn't it! Not Kyle or what ever name you made up."

"I don't know a Saix."

"Liar." He hissed out, and next thing I knew, I was being held by my throat against the nearest house wall. "Tell your uncle the truth!"

Should I tell him the truth? Or should I risk my life for Zexion? Xemnas could easily kill me right now. I risked my life for Zexion before… but is he worth it right now? Was eh worth my life?

"Tell me the truth!" he pulled back, then slammed me back into the wall.

"I…" I gasped for breath… I couldn't breathe. Xemnas seemed to realize this as he loosened his grip. "I…. told… y-you… the…. t-tr-truth." I managed to gag out. Xemnas glared at me.

"Do you think I like doing this?! Do you think I like hurting you!? Just make it easier on yourself… and tell me the truth." I thought my options through.

I could tell him, and have Zexion die. I could continue on and die. I could continue on and hope he'll be tricked into thinking I'm telling the truth. I could tel him, but change the story to give Zexion time to get out. I could do many things…

"I… can't." I settled on a middle path. Xemnas' expression changed from fury to confusion.

"What do you mean you can't?"

"Hurt… family…. asses to me… still care…" breathing was getting hard to do, so I just broke a lie into pieces. He dropped me.

"Demyx, I'm sorry. I should have figured they would hold your family against you. I'll go take care of them now…"

"No." I gasped out trying to catch my breath. "Others… if you kill them… others will kill us…. you can't…." Xemnas pressed his lips into a thin line.

"Fine. First we'll get you and the family out of here. hopefully they won't notice and I can slip back and kill them." yes! That left em room.

"Fine… I have to say bye…"

"Demyx…"

"My friends… I have to warn them… or they will be targeted."

"Fine." He stood up from his kneeled position near me. "I'll go prep the family." I nodded. The moment he was out of view, I broke into a full fledged sprint. I knew where I had to go, and I knew I had a very short time limit to get there. My destination: 267 Cloaked Moon Drive. My mission objective: find and warn Zexion and his family.

Ok.. thank you to Archer Plusie for pointing out that mistake.....
