CH 2: MIND OF DARKNESS

Sheena walked to Lloyd's house and knocked on the door.

"Come in." it was Lloyd's voice but something was different about it. Sheena realized that his voice had no emotion. She opened the door to find Lloyd sitting at the table, cleaning his Material Blades. He looked nothing like he used to. His hair was long and somewhat reddish like Kratos'. It looked as if he hadn't cut it for a while because it was down to the middle of his back. It was also in his eyes partially. He was taller and had somewhat bigger muscles. His eyes were black and showed only negative emotions such as sadness, anger, and hatred. His clothes were but a simple white t-shirt and long brown pants with some tears in them. His black wings were out. The house was a mess. It was covered in a thin layer of dust and very messy. Sheena rushed at him as he stood up and gave him a big hug. He only put his right arm around her lower back.

"Lloyd I am so happy to see you." They broke the hug. Lloyd just stood there, staring at her with no emotion. "Is something wrong?"

"Did Raine send you over here? I want the truth." he still showed no emotion. Sheena knew that she had to tell the truth.

"Yes. She told me about how you've been acting and I was worried so-" he cut her off.

"Get out." this time he sounded angry.

"But...Lloyd...I am not leaving until I get some answers." Sheena was both saddened and angered. Lloyd started to reach for one of his swords.

"Please leave. I don't want to hurt you like I had to with Zelos." Sadness took them both. Sheena was angered and tried to slap him. Lloyd grabbed her hand as it was about to hit his face. He let her go and tears began to enter Sheena's eyes. She headed for the door. Lloyd didn't want to loose her but he also didn't want to hurt her.

"Stop. Please...don't go. I will tell you anything you want. Just don't leave me alone...I don't want to be left alone again." Sadness filled Lloyd. Sheena turned around and they sat down at the table.

"I want to know why you are like this. Why you left everyone. Why you are so...dark."

"Fine. Ever since my dads died, I haven't been able to put my wings away. They became darker and darker every day until my heart was the same. I can't feel anything Sheena. All I can feel is sadness, anger, fear, and hatred. I suffer everyday. When I wake up every morning, I question why I have this fate. I can't stand it. I have tried to kill myself, but I can't die. My wings won't let me. These wings are not a blessing, but a curse. I have tried to cut them off but my blades only go through them. They fill me with darkness. I can't live with them anymore. I want it to end. All of it to just stop, but it won't. It won't let me die. I don't know what to do anymore. I need this to end. But all of my anger and hatred only feed these cursed wings. My sadness and fear powers them. I am not human anymore. I have become a demon. That is why I must stay away from everyone. My hatred will consume me and I will be uncontrollable. I am not to be trusted. At any moment I could cross the line. You should leave. I don't want that to happen like it did yesterday. I tried to control it but...I couldn't. Zelos was lucky to get out alive. I-I can't ever forgive myself if something were to happen to you." By now he had burst into tears. Sheena moved closer to him and tried to hug him. Lloyd pushed Sheena away. He was afraid of his emotions. Sheena looked up at him with saddened eyes. She knew that he was trying to protect her but, she wanted to be close to him.

"Is there anyway to heal you?"

"Not that I know of." He had stopped crying. Maybe if I tell him how I feel. Maybe love will bring him back. It may not work. What should I do...wait. I remember something that may help him.

"I know how we can help you. Two years ago, Raine went to the tower of mana to study the books there. Maybe there was something that she read that can help you."

"If it is the only way then I will do it. But she must come here. If I go into the city, then my emotions may overcome me. Have her come here tomorrow in the morning. I only want you and her to come here. Don't tell anyone else, ok?"

"Alright. I'll get going. Good bye." Lloyd hugged her showing love, but soon broke it because of the pain that his wings gave him. The wings were punishing him for going against their will. "Sorry...I will see you tomorrow." They said their good-byes and Sheena left for Raine's house. Lloyd went to bed and awaited the next day. Sheena told Raine everything. Raine ordered Sheena to gather some materials that she wrote down while she studied a book titled Angelic Disease. The two did what was needed and went to bed.
