Part Four: A Melodies Harmony
"Mom, I'm leaving!" Melody called from the front door.
"Okay, hunnie. Have fun," her mom said from her place at the kitchen sink. On that note, Melody walked out the door and began heading towards the bailey. A few days ago, after bringing Melody back home, Demyx left promising to return to her in a week or so. She was ecstatic, but for now she had to concentrate on the mission at hand. She made her way through the market place and cautiously entered the bailey walls. She instantly spotted her prey, their back fortunately turned towards her. With footsteps as quiet as a cats, Melody made her way towards the unsuspecting figures. But when she was about a foot away from them, one for the figures turned around and spotted her. The figure shrieked, causing the other two to draw their attention to her.
"Nice try, Melody," said the taller out of the three.
"Like you're any better, Sora," Melody shot back. "Where in the worlds have you been? I've been worried sick!"
"You actually care? That's a first," Sora responded sarcastically.
"Of course I care about my wittle baby cousin," she said in a baby voice, ruffling his spikey chocolate brown hair. Sora swatted her hand away laughing.
"So," Sora began. "What happened while I was…er…gone?"
"Let's see," Melody said, going into thought. "Well, the heartless have returned." The other two, Donald and Goofy, stared at each other knowingly.
"So I've heard… I take it you've been fighting them as usual?" Sora asked, thinking of how fighting always increased the witches happiness.
"Of course!" she said cheerily. "There are also some new creatures. I've yet to find out what they are, but I'll continue looking into it. And a few days ago I-" she stopped, ot knowing if she sould tell Sora about Demyx.
"Melody? What is it?" Sora asked, placing a concerned hand on her arm.
"Well," she started, hesitantly, "I ran into this boy in Twilight Town. He seemed suspicious, so I toyed around with his mind making him think I was a helpless little girl." She thought back to those few days ago.
"What did you find out?" Donald asked curiously.
"Not much, but he's able to control darkness and was wearing a black-hooded coat with the hood up most of the time-"
"Organization XIII!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy shouted in unison.
"Melody, promise me you'll stay away from him!" Sora half shouted, shaking her shoulders.
"Why? "What's wrong?" Melody asked, oblivious to why they were freaking out.
"He belongs to a dark group called Organization XIII. They're planning something big that involves the stealing of innocents hearts. If they find out who you really are, then they may use you or even worse…" Sora shuddered. Melody thought about this; Demyx can control darkness, but he doesn't seem the type to be evil. But what if Sora's paranoia is right? What if Demyx truly was part of some destructive plan? She barley knew the guy…
"What if…," Melody thought a loud, determined to find out more about Demyx and this scheme, "What if I were to try and find out more about this guy and the Organization?"
"I don't know, Melody. It sounds pretty risky," Goofy stated, scratching his chin in thought.
"Maybe Melody's on to something," Donald shouted excitedly, jumping up and down to prove it.
"Well," he said, looking Melody up and down, "he most likely trusts you, and it would help to know what we're getting into." Melody's face lit up with excitement knowing she was able to spend time with the mysterious boy. "I don't see why not," Sora sighed. Melody began to jump up and down, squealing with delight as her inner child came out. Sora was concerned with such a reaction from the girl. He began to think that he was doing the wrong thing. "Melody, you better be careful," Sora stated. She stopped her jumping and smiled at the worried keyblade wielder before her.
"No worries, Sora; I'll be fine." Donald began to tug on Sora's pants.
"We better go, Sora," Donald said. Sora nodded and looked back up to Melody, smiling.
"I guess it's time for us to go. Worlds need saving, you know?"
"As usual, always in a hurry," Melody said, shaking her head. "At least stay in touch this time; and don't go off disappearing for years on end again?!"
"Yes, ma'am!" All three saluted and began to march off.
"Be careful you guys!" Melody called out. Sora waved his hand in acknowledgement. Sora and the gang disappeared around the corner, leaving Melody alone once again. As she walked back home, her thoughts trailed back to Demyx. What if he truly was part of such a dark plan? She didn't want to hurt him; he was her friend. She knew she shouldn't put all her faith into someone she'd just met, but she couldn't help but trust him. But she had a chance to figure things out an if things got out of hand, she'd have no other choice but to take action.
"This is so not fair," she whined, kicking a littered juice can across the road.
"And here I thought you to be happy twenty-four seven," said a voice from behind. Melody turned around,, surprised by the unexpected voice.
"When did you-? How did you-?" Melody stuttered, pointing in every direction and looking around he. "Ugh, never mind," she sighed in defeat, not wanting to cause damage to her brain. Demyx laughed at her frustration.
"So, what's so unfair that it's gotten you so aggravated?" Demyx asked curiously.
"Issues, that's all," Melody sighed, resuming to kick the can.
"Anything I can do to help?" Melody drew her attention back to the Nobody.
"Actually, there is," she said thoughtfully. "What can you tell me about a group called Organization XIII?" she asked, curious as to what his reaction would be.
"Depends," he said, a smile still on his face. So far, Melody was pleased with the reaction. "What do you want to know.
"Well," Melody continued, eyeing him skeptically. "My cousin was in town today. He told me rumors about the group that had been spreading around worlds. He tells me that it's a dark group of people planning something that will hurt others. Is that true?" she asked, hoping that it wasn't. Demyx laughed.
"It all depends on how you look at it. Organization XIII is made up of powerful Nobodies; or a non-existence in human form with no hearts. All we're trying to do is get our hearts back," he explained.
"Wait a second; you said we," she noticed, thinking that Sora may be right.
"Yes, I did," Demyx said, his smile fading as he watched Melody pale. "Melody, are you feeling okay?"
"So you're telling me that you're part of the Organization?" Demyx nodded. "So you go around killing innocent people!" Melody accused more than asked. The muscles in Demyx's body tensed when she spoke this. He closed his eyes and spoke slowly through gritted teeth.
"I don't exist; I am cold and heartless. But I am far from a murderer," he spat out the last word in distaste. "I saved you from those heartless, didn't I? I've given you no reason to suspect me as a murderer." Melody saw that he was serious, and that she may have hurt him with her accusation.
"Demyx, I'm sorry. I over-reacted," she whispered. Demyx stayed unmoving, eyes closed. He most likely didn't want to be in her company at the moment, so Melody took her leave. She walked down the remaining five feet of the street and miserably rounded the corner that led to her home. Melody was unhappy with herself; she was not one to loose control so easily. With powers like hers, loosing control could only end up hurting someone. The result in this case, though, was that she had hurt Demyx with her choice of words. She wondered if he'd ever speak to her again. Such an accusation could never be forgiven so easily. She knew she'd have to do something to make it up to him. Melody was just about to turn onto her street when a hand shot out of the wall beside her. She didn't have time to think as it grabbed her wrist and pulled her through the wall.

Me: I'm so sorry that this took so long. There are no excuses; just laziness. And stress…I was in a parade today and running really late. One, my parents got ready ten minutes b4 we had to leave the house. Two, some eighteen year old girl gets on a cell phone then crashes into our car when we're already running late bcuz of traffic. My dad and I had to run around west warwick and had to save a mentally disabled man that fell out of his wheelchair and into the street. Then we got lost in west warwick. It was an hour later that we finally found where I was supposed to be and thank the heavens that the parade was running later. Just thought I'd share my stressful day with you :3 to make my tardy updating and ramblings up to you, I'm already half done with chapter five! It will hopefully be done by the end of the week. I hope you enjoyed chapter four! Please review! Flames welcome!
