Another light buzz...a face...a girl...smiling...
"Who are you...?"
"I am the somebody of a nobody..."
He stretched out his arm and pressed his hand on a softer, more smoother hand.
"You've been calling out to me..." And opening his eyes, he found himself staring at an attractive blonde haired girl with deep blue sea eyes smiling down on him. "Why?"
"You were lost in the darkness," she giggled, "Someone had to help you out."
"So..." Roxas mumbled sitting up, "Who are you really?"
The young girl sadly smiled, and stands up, her back to Roxas. "I told you before, I am the somebody of a nobody. An empty void...of a someone with a strong heart that truly exists. I was born in darkness, and will live in darkness..."
"Don't say things like that, you're somebody to me..." Roxas said, standing up, and watching her turn around giving him a surprised look. Then her shocked look turned to another calm, pleasant smile.
"But you see Roxas," she steps closer poitning a finger to his heart. "Nobodies cannot become somebodies...that's how it is..."
"To what?"
She didn't respond but only gave him that calm smile of hers. He watched her walk along the walls of the small room. Everything was white, and there was only a blanket and a pillow that Roxas had just ben laid on.
"Where are we anyway?" Roxas asked, looking around. "What is this place?"
"You are in a place called Castle Oblivion..." she replied. "This is just a temporary cell for you-"
"Those people..." Roxas recalled. "Who were they? Axel...he...he handed me in to someone... Who were those people?"
The girl looks at him but didn't answer. She turned away and continued pacing around the room. Roxas stared at her for a second before leaning on the wall.
"How could I have been so stupid to trust a stranger? He looked even suspicious from the-"
"He never meant to betray your trust Roxas..." he looked up, startled, the girl looking back at him for a second then turning away. "He felt bad handing you to Marluxia."
"And he is-?"
"Number eleven of the Organization XII. He's the boss in this castle. The real master is-"
"That's enough information for today Namine."
That same blob of something appeared before Namine, and out came a hooded man.
"Axel," Namine whispered as they both watched Axel take off his hood.
"Roxas, old pal! How you been?"
"Don't call me old pal, you-" Roxas snarled, glaring at Axel.
"Woah, woah, woah! Hold on! That-" he flicked his arm. "-wasn't my call! I follow orders to whoever's in charge. Got it memorized?"
Roxas didn't say anything but just glared back at Axel.
Axel sighed and scratched his head. "Look, if I was to decide, I wouldn't have done what I did."
"But it still was your decision. It is always your decision whether to follow Marluia or not-"
"It's Marluxia," Namine silently corrected him.
"WHATEVER!" Roxas screamed, making Namine jump and grab Axel by the arm. Something snapped inside him as Roxas watched Namine staring frightengly at him.
Something was emitting around him. He was suddenly glowing a powerful dark aura. "What-what's happening to me?" He took a step back. He feel so powerful, his strength increasing. But as it was, something evil was suddenly growing inside him. It wasn't something you could easily explain because it was confusing.
"You're realising the darkness of your heart Roxas," Axel said, watching him intently.
"The darkness of my heart?" The black glow disappeared. Roxas felt like himself again. "Wh--what's happening? What's going on?"
"The world is composed by light...and dark," Axel replied as Namine realised him from her grip. "Even in twilight, humans still choose which side. The darkness of their hearts becomes creatures called heartless. When someone with a strong heart becomes a heartless, their bodies becomes empty shells, and in time, these empty shells becomes nobodies."
"Nobodies?" Roxas whispered. He looked to Namine who averted his gaze. "We? We're called Nobodies?"
"That's right," Axel murmured. "Nobodies who become human search for other Nobodies, and in time, they were able to form an Organization..."
"How many are there?" Rpxas asked, eyeing Axel.
"Twelve members. Organization XII," Axel replied, smirking. "Got it memorized?"
"But...what does this have to do with..." he stopped, the truth dawning in on him. Was that why he was here?
"I told you didn't I?" Axel sneered. "Nobodies who become human, they search for others-"
"I'm not going to join your Organization!" Roxas snapped, glaring at Axel, as he took a step back. Again, that crazy powerful feeling came back to Roxas as he eyed Axel. "What do you do in this organization? Kill people? Steal their hearts? Experiment on them?"
"Woah, woah, woah little blondie, one question at a time!" he scratched his head, lost in his own thoughts, then snapped his fingers. "Nobodies are neither good nor bad. Infact, we don't even know which side we're on. Sure we might rely on darkness to exist, but..." he shrugged. "You gotta bend the rules sometimes just to live."
"Live? What do you mean?" Roxas asked.
Axel smirked, and continued, "Also we cannot steal the hearts of the living. Someone else does that job for us. The hearts, may in time, become heartless, but there is no way you can ever get your heart back once it's too shrouded by darkness. Got it memorized?"
"Nobodies inherit their human memories," Namine said. "They remember everything before they are turned to Nobodies when their hearts left them."
"They take the name from their human self and scrammbles it," Axel explained. "X represents darkness. Got it memorized?"
"X? Axel..." Roxas murmured. "Roxas..." Suddenly, he realized something. "Wait...if Nobodies inherit their human memories...then why-?"
"That's why we call you 'unique'" There was another blob of something, and a man with shoulder length pink spiky hair came out, looking directly at Roxas. His stare made Roxas weak to his knees, as if he was paralyzing Roxas using his eyes. His aura was powerful, more powerful than anyone in this room. Almost as equal as Axel, but something within him, a powerful evil was squahing out Axel's own powers.
"Marluxia..." Axel drawled, waving a lazy hand to his 'master.' "Sup?"
"It's time..." he whispered as he took a step towards Roxas.
