Chapter 14
Demyx grabbed the arm of Axel's coat and pulled him away from the front of the station before he could get a word out. Once they were safely out of sight of the train station Demyx stopped and Axel pulled his arm free.
"Demyx!? What do you think you're doing? What have they done to Roxas?"
Demyx waved his arms frantically and make shushing noises at him. "Shhh! If the Superior hears you…and finds us…well…things will get bad…for both of us."
This confused Axel. "What? You aren't here on his orders? Then why are you here?" Axel questioned suspiciously.
"That what I'm about to tell you, now shut up and don't interrupt!" Demyx said in a hushed voice. "I managed to slip away from the rest of the Organization, but they'll notice soon and come looking for me. This getting hearts thing is bad news for you and Roxas. What the Superior plans to do is take you and Roxas and kill you. He hopes that the vacuum created by the combination of your two's missing hearts will call forth a god of hearts or something, he wasn't very specific about that, and that it will grant the rest of us hearts."
Axel's eyes were narrowed into slits by the end of Demyx's retelling. "How do I know you're telling the truth, and why would you tell me this? What's in it for you? Don't you want a heart?"
Demyx sighed. "Of course I want a heart, but not at the sake of, well…my best friend here." Axel eyes widened at this. "You're the only friend I have here. Don't you remember before Roxas came? We were always together causing all sorts of mischief!" Axel thought he caught a glimpse of something in Demyx's eyes, regret maybe?
"I…guess you're right…but now what do I do?" Axel asked worriedly. "How am I going to rescue Roxas?"
For the first time since Axel had seen him that day Demyx smiled. "I have an idea."
