-1Hahaha.

Cliffy here. Maybe more reviews..? Maybe? -puppy eyes-

Sometimes I hate writing this story. My original ending was morbidly depressing, so I'm changing a lot of it.

But the way I'm going, I might end up having three different endings.. Would anyone want me to post them when I'm done, once you see the real ending? Hahaha.

And to 'Grossed out'

Im sorry if I came off as mad or rude. I've been going through a lot of crap lately, and felt like lashing out at someone. Forgive me, please. No need to say sorry.

Okay..

Whee.

"She's in here."

"Where?"

"Here."

--------------

Kairi looked up, opening her eyes in shock. No longer was she in darkness, trapped by insane circus looking freaks.

No.

Standing up shakily, she eyed the room around her.

"What the…?"

She was inside a wooden room, completely different from anything she'd ever seen before. Almost like an old English home for the pioneers, it had a grassy smell.

Stumbling through the room to a door, she gripped a knob and turned it.

"It's locked.." She mumbled, stepping back. Maybe there was another door? There had to be.

Weakly moving around to look through the other rooms, she held herself tightly. She'd never been so afraid in her life, and she had the nagging feeling something was inside this house with her.

Something evil..

She viewed soft blue curtains, tables and other assorted objects. An old kerosene lamp sat on one of the tables, and above it was a framed newspaper article.

She tilted her head, biting her lip. How out of place it seemed, in this old fashioned house..

Wait, how was she in a house, anyway? Shrugging, she stepped along an old brown bear rug and took the frame in her hands, blowing off the dust.

Holding back a sneeze, she squinted to read the small print on the paper.

"Uhh…" She said, puffing her lips out like a fish.

"Man who lives on the outskirts of city invents a new, revolutionary machine to help light the town. A true genius, he's revolutionized modern electricity with his new generator.."

Kairi put it back on the wall, obviously bored. "Well.." She said, cocking her brow.

Turning once again, she walked into a different room in the house. It had a pleasant style, colors green and yellow, and extremely vivid.

Shifting her attention past a soft looking bed, she found another newspaper clipping. "Huh.. Sure are a lot of these in here.." She mumbled, and walked towards it, holding it in front of her face.

Most of it was too weather-worn to read, cutting off the main paragraph. All that was left was the conclusion..

"The marriage of the great scientist.." Words that were illegible.. "The families are extremely happy, and with the help of his new wife, who knows what they could accomplish?"

She rolled her eyes, setting it back on the bedside table. She left the green room, there was only a closet in here, and there was no way she was getting out with the help of that.

Kairi walked into a different room, looking around silently. Nope, this was an office. The walls were all black, wood paneling on the ceiling.

Okay..

This was weird..

MURDEROUS INTENTIONS?

The article caught her eye, and she stared weakly.

"What the hell..?"

She walked over, stepping softly and stared at it.

"Numerous children and a few adults are missing from the town. We can only pin-point it to one person, the scientist.." Burned letters, most likely with a cigar.. "We are conducting a search in his house soon. Who knew someone who could do so many good things, could turn into a murderer.. His wife was the first to go missing.."

Looking pale for a minute, Kairi slightly wondered if this room.. This, house… Was his.

She shivered, turning from the office fairly quickly and heading to the back of the house. She tried the door, unluckily. It was locked too.

"Alright.." She said, looking around.

There was a few more doors she hadn't tried, maybe they led to exits..

Walking into another room, pink all over the walls, she stopped. A small teddy bear sat on a pink, frilly bed. Too much pink for her taste..

Kairi noticed different notes scattered everywhere, and kneeled down to look at them closely.

"We've arrived inside, not much to look at. Its an old looking rustic house, not anything like we'd imagined a mad man to reside.."

She turned to another, picking them up and eyeing them all.

"It's too quiet in here, not a single sound can be heard.. We're thinking we should leave.."

She shuffled the papers to view the next.

"He's inside! There's no escape! He's locked all the doors.. The bastard! If these are ever found.. Tell my wife.."

Kairi tilted the paper, trying to read the rest. It was just a bunch of scribbles, and dots.

She shivered, standing up and setting all the papers down. A creak was heard from the front of the house, and she turned instantly in fear.

"There she is."

"Eh."

Kairi turned quickly, realizing who it was.

"Riku?!" She cried out, jumping to her feet, and running inside the front room.

Riku stood in the room, next to a tiny girl in a long, white dress.

"Who's.. this?" Kairi asked, staring.

"My sister." He mumbled. "Alright, let's go." He sighed, scratching his head. "We've got to find Sora." Riku's voice was far away..

"R-Riku?" Kairi asked, unsure. "Uhm.. Maybe you should rest? You look really pale.."

Riku glared for a moment, annoyed at the girl's sudden interest in his health.

"I'm fine, really."

"You don't sound fine.. C'mon, there's all these beds in the rooms. You can rest for a bit, and me and your sister can make sure nothing happens." Kairi said, sure of herself for the first time.

He scoffed. "I should be saying that to you guys.."

Namine said nothing, just studying Kairi. She turned to Riku, a smile on her face. "She's right. You can sleep for a little bit, and we can find Sora all together." She said innocently.

Riku stand wavered for a minute, and he rubbed his head. "Only for.. A few minutes… and then.." He felt shaky.

Kairi rushed to his side, holding him up with all of her strength escorted him to the room with all the notes in it. He plopped down on the bed, and turned to his side, staring at the door.

"If anything happens.."

"We'll take care of it." Kairi said, eyes narrowed. "Now sleep for a bit, then let's get the hell out of here."

Namine stared.

Riku's eyes shut slowly, and he was off to sleep.

--------------------

Roxas stood up, blinking. This room was… a bit off. To describe it down to a 'T'.. it was.. A hospital?

He turned around, looking down the hole, then turned his gaze back to this room.

He sighed, balling up his fists. "I can do this. I've gotta save Axel.. I can't chicken out now…" He stepped forward, looking past the assortment of.. 'medical' tools on a bloody looking pan.

Roxas looked over an operating table as he walked towards the door, gritting his teeth. "I can do this.." He said again, trying to ignore the torn straps and blood covering everything.

It was like.. Frankenstein.

Was some.. Half-dead monster, here too? Did it escape? He gulped, most of the courage draining from him at that thought.

Shaking his head furiously, he opened the white door, and walked into a blinding white corridor.

Looking around, he shielded his eyes for a moment, and breathed in a sigh of relief.

Alright, this wasn't so bad.

"Axel!" Roxas yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth.

Xel..

Xel..

Xel…

His own voice almost replied, echoing back at him. He frowned, almost taking a step before..

"RESTRAIN HIM!!"

"We might need the head doctor for this one!"

A round of laughter.

Roxas turned around, eyes wide.

"Hello..?" He asked out.

"Roxas!"

"Roxas!"

Roxas shifted around again, looking for the voice.

"Is someone in here? Axel?" He called out, weaker this time.

"I've got the perfect room.."

"Aww.. But I want to play with him! He's so cute!"

"No!"

"Me!"

Roxas looked around once again, and was covered in a cold sweat by now. His eyes were wide with fear, but he got the feeling this things weren't good..

He got into a dead sprint down the blinding corridor, running down the halls to get rid of his sudden adrenaline rush. "Axel!" He practically shrieked, wishing he was here right now.

Tears dripping down his face, he realized…

His dad was right.

He was nobody.

He couldn't save Axel..

He probably wouldn't even be able to save himself.

Dropping to his knees, he stared down the next blinding white corridor. "Axel…" He practically blubbered, more tears dripping down his face.

"I'm so.. So sorry.." His head drooped, and he let out a few more sobs.

"Sorry for what?" A familiar voice said behind him.

Roxas's eyes opened, and a gigantic smile reached his face. "Axel!" He turned to face his friend, and his face twisted in disgust.

"W-what…?"
