That night Xemnas would not leave the castle for a week even the ones who were on special missions. Everyone groaned except for Axel and Roxas who beamed at each other. Besides Roxas could not leave that girl here without knowing she was better. With that, Roxas got up and went to the first aid room. He had been doing this for two days now every four hours. She was making progress for no cuts remained on her body. She still had that troubled look written into her face. This girl was hiding something, something horrible deep in her sleeping mind.
A door slammed behind Roxas and Axel walked slowly in. "You really care for her don't you? How can you like someone you don't know?" he had a dash of jealousy in his voice. Roxas was always talking to him and following him around, but since that girl showed up it was all about her. He walked over and sat down next to the bed. He had also noticed the trouble in the mysterious girl's face. "I wish she'd wake the hell up and tell us what happened." He leaned back in the chair looking somewhat annoyed.
Roxas laughed. "You have no patience Axel. I'm sorry I've been up here so much it's just…I feel like I have to… I don't know why I just do…" He looked up at Axel. "I have a feeling that Xemnas did something to her…I had this weird dream…as if she was talking to me…warning me." Roxas sighed and gave Axel that "You think I'm crazy." look.
Axel looked blankly at him. "Dude are you fricking nuts?" Axel laughed and hit Roxas on the back playfully. "It's probably just a dream. I mean gosh all think about is her." Jealousy was overcoming his voice now a hint of anger in it. "Why don't you go have fun do something? It's probably the last time you'll ever be alive!" Axel was on his feet now tears welling up in his eyes. "I don't want to lose you without having a good time first. You're just wasting away this life." Roxas stared at him blankly shock lining his pale skin. "He didn't tell you did he….I thought when he brought you back in…that he told you….That bastard! You deserve to know your fate!" Axel clenched his fists and ran out of the room a death threat on his mind.
Roxas sat there unable to move or speak incomprehensible thoughts racing through his head. He took one glance at the girl and realized what was more important now. If Axel tried to fight Xemnas he'd die all because of Roxas. Roxas wouldn't be able to live with that on his shoulders. He ran out of the room knowing exactly where Axel was.
By the time Roxas reached Xemnas's office Axel was already on the floor blood gushing out and staining the floor. Roxas bent down and picked up the limp form of Axel. Tears streamed down his face. "Axel…you can't be dead….you just can't…" At that moment a thought raced through his head, that girl had healed herself then why couldn't she heal anyone else. Roxas picked up the now weightless form of Axel. He whimpered because Axel was usually very heavy. "Axel hold on I'll bring you back…." Roxas leapt up the stairs at amazing speed and dashed down the slick floors to the first aid room. He threw open the huge doors looked inside and found…..nothing…. The girl was gone….
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
The room was cold no one was in sight but she felt a ghostly presence hovering around her. What was this place? It was some kind of castle with stark white walls and floors. Strange things floated in test tubes and diagrams of people covered the walls. She was lying down in a metal bed with blood stained sheets. Then something hit her. Someone had attacked her out of the blackness of her room. The next day she woke up in a dark city covered in gashes and crawled up to this white castle in time to pass out.
"What do you want with me?" she screamed at the mirror. "Just let me go home. Please I'll do anything!" She heard a swooshing sound behind her and then footsteps. A man came out of the shadows his silver hair dangling past hid midriff. "Alright I have something big in store for you that is if you truly want to get out."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Roxas lay Axel on the bed his hands trembling tears falling down his face. "I-it's my fault all my fault. Why was I so wrapped up in that girl? If I would've spent more time with Axel then…" He looked down at Axel's wounds and studied them closely. They were identical to that of the girl's. The same deep gashes with char marks on the sides. His fists clenched in anger leaving cuts in his small hands. "Xemnas did this to both of them…he…killed Axel and tried to kill her…the FCKN BASTARD! I'm gonna kill him no matter what!"
Saix walked in the room his shallow eyes set on Axel. "Oh poor Axel what ever happened to him?" Not even a trace of caring was in the blue haired man's voice. "He was probably being careless as always." He smiled dryly at Roxas. "What no response? Aww I was hoping for one."
Roxas shook in anger his face turning bright red. "Shut your blue haired scarred faced ugliness up Saix!" Before Saix could react he was was on the floor blood streaming from his nose. "If that doesn't shut you up I'll have to do more Saix and next time you won't be conscious. Now get the hell out of here!" Roxas opened the door for Saix and pushed him out. "Yeah I thought you wouldn't say anything!" He yelled at Saix slamming the door in his face.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The girl stared at the floor. "Why do you want me to do that to Roxas? What did he do to you?" Her heart felt heavy guilt filling it. She didn't want to do that to Roxas. She couldn't explain how she felt but it was almost as if she had known him forever.
"I can't tell you that. Just do what I ordered you to do and it'll all come into place. Soon enough you'll see your precious family again." Xemnas gave her a smile with hate written all over it. "Now go find him and put on your act." He gave the girl a hard push out the door.
As she walked through the blinding white halls, she became very sure that she was never going to get out of this place. All roads led to death for both her and Roxas and there was no getting out of it
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Roxas sat on the bed next to Axel's his head in his hands. He had finally stopped crying. There was no use. There was nothing left to cry about, Axel was gone forever and without his best friend Roxas would be nothing just an empty shell of nothingness. Xemnas had been nowhere to be found. Killing him wouldn't bring Axel back. Numerous times Demyx had come in trying to comfort Roxas but nothing had helped and for that part, nothing ever would. How many hours had Roxas been sitting there? Two, four, maybe even a day had gone by. Not that it mattered. Sleep was caressing Roxas bringing him down into it's depths his eyes slowly closing. Sweet images of Axel were coming to his mind of them playing pranks on Malry and Saix. At that moment he felt a tap on his back jerking him awake. "Five more minutes!" He yelled into the pillow.
"Oh sorry I just wanted to know where a boy named Roxas was. Can you direct me to where he is?" Her voice sounded familiar to Roxas.
His eyes grew wide as he looked at her face. "It's you the girl who was hurt! Where did you go? Oh, by the way I'm Roxas. Nice to meet you your name is?" He held his hand out for her to shake.
She laughed. "Well Roxas I'm Sylvia nice to meet you too." With that, she shook his hand in an almost too friendly way. Somehow, someway she had already met him.
