Chapter Eight: Head pains and Heart wounds
Riku had just finished wrapping bandages around the unconcious Lexy's head. He sat down next to her on her bed and took her hand between his.
"What's going on...? Lexy seemed so weak when Jessica said that to her."
Lexy's eyes shot open at the mention of that name. "JESSIE!" She shouted, sitting up, fast as lightning. She gripped her head and moaned.
"Lexy, what's wrong?!" Riku asked worried.
"My head... Ohhh... It hurts." Lexy groaned.
"Well, that's where Jessie hit you."
Lexy took a sharp intake a breath.
"Lexy?"
"I-I'm fine."
'Man... Whenever I hear her name... My heart aches.' She thought. 'I... I can't be having any feelings... Not about that... Not about what happened. What should I care, all I need is evil, and Riku.'
"Lexy?" Riku said. 'She seems to be off in another world.' He thought.
"I wanna be alone now Riku."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Well, call me if you need anything." Riku cast one last worried look at Lexy before leaving her room.
Lexy sighed. 'I don't care about Jessie, or Sora, none of that matters anymore. Now that I have the darkness I don't need her...' Lexy's heart felt like it would burst. 'Who am I trying to fool!? I'm so stupid! Somthing in my heart is telling me I need her.' Tears streamed down Lexy's cheeks. 'No... No, I need to stop thinking this way. She's just a sap, like all the other's who live in that world, what could I possibly need her for? This is silly, why am I thinking these stupid thoughts?'
'I think I'll read, to clear my head.' Lexy got up to get a book of of her shelf, but her head twanged with sharp pains. "AHHH!!"
Riku charged in, to see Lexy on her knees, cluthing her head.
"Lexy!" He kneeled down and threw his arms around her.
"What's wrong?!" He asked frantically.
"My head hurts... But not as much as my heart."
"Your... Heart?" He asked. She hadn't talked about her heart in so long. He thought all emotion except evil... had died.
She hadn't talked about her heart in so long. He thought all emotion except evil... had died.
"Yes Riku... My heart... Seeing Jessie-" She felt pain "-again... It made my mind think so many things, and my heart... It's full of guilt, and pain, about what I did to her. But... But I can't feel these things, I don't care! I don't care about her! I hate her for what she did to ME!"
"What did... She do to you?"
"When I realized the error of my ways, in being good and heroic... When I turned evil, I asked her to join me, to be my partner in crime, so we could be together forever... She declined, told me I was insane..."
Lexy sobbed even harder, which gave her an even worse headache.
Riku didn't know how to react. He had never seen Lexy, or anybody for that matter, behave like this, he just didn't know what to do. He put a hand on her head. "Don't worry, everything will sort itself out."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Please be right Riku... Please be right..." She said softly.
'I hope I'm right.'
