Well, well, well.
Aura has passed out, and we don't know why.
Well... you'll find out today, in this chapter! XD
Chapter Fourteen: Feelings
I had been placed In a coma for about a week.
I don't know what went on during that week.
Did Axel and Zexion come back? Did Roxas wake up?
These were the most important questions I had for myself.
But it was odd, while in my coma, I had dreams about a girl.
Who was always with 'Sora'.
Aura lay sleeping silently and peacefully on her bed, no one bothered her, and were quite surprised to find out that she had fallen victim to a coma. On the same day that Roxas fell into a coma, Aura just had to go down as well.
Xemnas and Saix entered her room, and stared at her sleeping self. All the members in the organization were well aware of Aura's special powers, and they were also aware of her original persona.
"Is her case similar to number XIII?" asked Xemnas.
"I am not sure," replied Saix. "Her case could be entirely different, considering she is the nobody of Marie."
"It's quite amazing how these things turn out," said Xemnas. "As memory serves, she was suppose to die while in the castle. Yet fate has let her lived, and now she is the protector of the great power that is known as Kingdom Hearts."
"It has been noted that Xigbar knows some things about the girl," revealed Saix. "It's worth asking him about it."
"You too, at one point, were friends with the girl," reminded Xemnas. "You and Number VIII, to be correct."
Saix felt a little uncomfortable to be called 'friends' with Marie, as it had been a rather long time since he was. But despite it all, he himself was rather surprised that she was alive and well. To think that she would be something of great importance, while ten years ago she was just an innocent girl who knew nothing of the dangers every person faced.
"Nonetheless," said Xemnas. "Marie is currently with Naminè, just like the hero. We should have her in soon time."
Xemnas nodded, and left the room, leaving Saix to be alone with Aura. He close his eyes for a moment, and a low breath escaped his lips. He never expected to see or hear about Marie, and having to see Aura be her nobody was definitely a surprise. The one thing that was on his mind at the moment, is if he would ever get the chance to meet Marie.
"Perhaps it was fate that we met," he said out loud. "Perhaps it will be fate to meet her as well."
Saix left the room, and Aura was left sleeping on her bed. A blue heart glowed on her forehead, and simply remained there for a while.
Subconscious
Aura yet again stood in a place where the floor was sandy, and the sky was pitch black. She knew what was going to happen, and it involved a certain voice. But the scenery began to change, and it eventually changed into a pink and purple room, with a woman and a man looking into the eyes of a tiny baby girl.
"Although she did not fully know until fourteen years later," said the annoying and familiar voice. "She was set to be the sole protector of Kingdom Hearts, a role that drastically changed her life."
"And?" Aura responded, realizing she could speak this time. "What are you trying to say?"
"She fought against many villains, and only managed to get stronger on her adventures," said the voice. "But she is greatly troubled."
"...How so?" asked Aura, hinting of a slight concern for the girl. "What's wrong with her."
"She struggles with her identity," replied the voice. "She is starting to feel the burden of being my protector, and is concerned if she will ever see her family or be normal again."
"Well," Aura said. "I would assume that it is your fault she turned out that way. I don't think anyone would want to be burdened with such a big task, being protector of some great power."
"Have you not noticed?" the voice said. "You, too, are connected to me."
"...What?" asked Aura. "How am I connected to you? I don't even know you, let alone work for you."
"Kingdom Hearts was the first thing you knew about when you were born," said the voice. "The Keyblade, your powers, everything about you is connected to me."
Aura took a deep breath, and crossed her arms. She noticed the scene changed, and the tiny baby that she previously saw changed into a teen with short blonde hair and bright green eyes. Aura couldn't help but notice how identical this girl looked to Xion, even to the point of think that it was her twin or something.
"Why does she look like Xion?" she asked. "What's going on?"
"She does not look like Xion," said the voice. "Rather, Xion looks like her."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean nothing," said the voice. "Xion is not my concern, therefore I will not talk about her now. What I want you to do, is look at the girl in front of you."
Aura followed the voice's instructions, and looked as the girl fought of countless heartless, along with the boy she saw Roxas change into. The hateful feelings returned, and Aura clenched her fists. The girl and boy were back-to-back, and smiled at each other while fighting off the heartless. They were a great team together, with the girl healing him, and him protecting her with his blade. It was then that Aura noticed the spell the girl used, it was the same as what she used when Axel and Roxas were fighting the guardian.
"That spell..!" exclaimed Aura. "How does she know that spell?"
"You and that girl..." said the voice. "You are one and the same."
"What? What do you mean? I've never seen that girl in my life."
The scene changed, and it was set in Agrabah, a world Aura visited when not too long ago. The same girl and boy appeared again, but the girl was lying on the floor unconscious while the boy was holding onto her and had a look of worry on his face. Every time Aura saw this boy, her blood boiled to the max, and she didn't know why.
"You are wondering why your blood boils at the mere sight of the boy," said the voice. "Aren't you?"
"How did you know?" asked Aura.
"You are connected to me, therefore I know what you think," replied the voice. "But the reason you get angry at his sight is because of the girl. She was kidnapped at one point, ad her heart was trapped inside the boy's."
The scene changed again, and it showed the girl on a ship. Her eyes were closed, and her forehead began to glow pink with a heart on it. Her hand laid over another girl's heart, and this girl had short red hair. Another boy, a little older-looking than the girl stood near her as she and the red-headed girl glowed.
"The girl with red-hair had also lost her heart," said the voice. "But in truth it was actually locked away within herself. The girl with blonde hair had the chance to unlock her heart, but they both were about to lose their hearts. So in an effort, the girl sealed away both her and the other girl's hearts inside the boy with brown hair."
"Why do you make such an effort to not say their names?" asked Aura.
"It is too soon to say their names," said the voice. "But you will find in time."
"Whatever..."
the scene changed yet again, and it showed the girl being unconscious in front of a giant heart mixed in with the hues of red, blue, and green. The boy looked at her before stabbing himself. Aura jumped at the sight of it, and saw a bunch of hearts float around. One of them returned to the girl, and in soon time she awoke.
"Lucky for her, the boy returned her heart, but also sacrificing his own," said the voice. "When she first lost her heart, she had such a hate for the boy."
"Why?"
"It was a trap," said the voice. "She loves the boy, and when he confessed that he cared for the girl with read hair, the other girl took it the wrong way. And thus had her heart broken."
"And?" asked Aura. "God, this is sounding like one of the novels Zexion reads."
"Someone was born when she lost her heart," replied the voice. "This 'someone' was born with the hateful feeling towards the boy that had broken her heart. But yet, that person was also born with the feeling of pure love towards the same boy."
"Yep, definitely like one of those novels," Aura said in a whisper.
"Someone else was born when the boy sacrificed his heart," continued the voice. "The feelings that the girl passed onto the person that was born were instead directed toward the other person that was born when boy scarified his heart."
"I'm surprised I haven't gotten confused yet."
"You see, Aura," said the voice. "The person born with these feeling of extreme hate and love... is you."
"...What?"
Suddenly, the scenery changed rapidly. It reverted back into the sandy floor with the pitch black sky, and Aura stood still. She could not move, and her face filled with sudden confusion and frustration.
I was shocked the first time I heard it say that.
It got me thinking as well, like what was the girl's name?
Where was she now? Was she still alive?
Did she know about me? Did she know about Roxas?
Questions just kept filling my head, and I wasn't getting any answers.
My god, Stella! Must you make everything complicated!
Well, Aura is digging deep in her subconscious, and finding out some stuff that will be problematic in the future.
Lele-the-Greek-Geek:
Ahaha, thanks! I'm glad I'm updating fast. Well, very complicated. Aura likes Roxas and Axel. Roxas Likes Xion and Aura. Axel likes someone as well. XD And yes, it plays a good part in the story, I suppose. Ohh, Can't wait! Haha, yeah. It's all so complicated, I LOVE IT. XD And yay!
SisterOfScarletDevil:
Ahaha, no it's alright, you can say random things if it helps. XD Ahaha, yeah I don't mention names to make it harder.
Starlightmint72:
Ahaha, thanks! Yes, Aura is finding out about a lot of stuff that Xemnas does not want her to know. And it is very complicated, and I noticed that a while ago XD Thanks for giving me a review as well, and here is your update!
an1995616:
Oh god, triangles are ebil! And you will see more, but as you said. Roxas currently belongs with Xion. Currently...
TheEspadaSisters:
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And thank you! But to be honest, I think I'm not such a good drawer. I get so discouraged when I see other drawings.
warrior of six blades:
Glad I could clear things up, and thanks! A lot will change after she wakes up... well not much. But her relationship with Stella strengthens. That's also another issue to break down. Both Axel and Aura will be jealous for different reasons. And thanks, I hope I get this story done fast enough.
kingdomdisney:
Yes, bad Stella! Trying to put confusing stuff in Aura's head.
TheEvilMonkey94:
Thanks! And to be honest, I was thinking about that. But the truth is, neither can wield it because you need a person of pure light and a person of pure darkness to fuse together to create the X-blade. Marie is a person of pure light, but Aura is in between light and dark. Perhaps if they merge, Marie can wield the X-blade, but I would really have to back it up and give good reasoning on how she is able to.
