Chapter 12
Axel returned from his assignment expecting to find Roxas waiting for him near the front gate of Castle Oblivion and when he wasn't there Axel was both confused and disappointed.
"Rox?" He called out to the empty hall, hoping in vain for a reply.
He shrugged and portaled to Roxas' door. He knocked gently, even though he knew Roxas wasn't still asleep since it was almost six in the evening. When there came no reply Axel opened the door a little. His brow furrowed as he noticed that everything that made Roxas' room Roxas' were gone. All his posters and pictures, his clothes on the floor, everything was gone. Axel ran over to Roxas' closet only to find that all of his clothes were missing too.
Axel raced down five flights of stairs to his own room, completely forgetting that he could portal. He reached his door and tore it open, praying that they were all moving to another home and hoping to find his own stuff gone as well. No such luck. All of Axel's things were as they were as he had left them yesterday before he went to go make up with Roxas.
Axel suddenly remembered a dream he had had only a few weeks prior. This same thing had happened and in it, the rest of the Organization had taken Roxas and had been planning to do something terrible to him.
Sinking to his knees a single tear slid down Axel cheek as he whispered Roxas' name. He sat there for a few minutes, lost in his hopelessness, but Axel never was one to give up. He rose to his feet and began to search the castle for clues, anything that might give him an idea as to where they might have taken Roxas, for he knew now that his nightmare was coming true. He could only hope to reach Roxas in time to save him.
