Finally updated :D sorry if this chapter is a little . . . blah. Also, I skimmed over it instead of actually reading it to search for mistakes, so forgive me x_x Hopefully this chapter isn't too horrid though xD or too short. I know it could be longer . . .
"Roxas? Hey! Earth to Roxas!"
The blond haired teenager jumped, seeing a hand being waved inches away from his face. He glanced upward, seeing Hayner, who pulled his hand away, "C'mon man. Snap out of it and help us here!"
"What?" Roxas glanced around at his friends, having obviously not been listening to the conversation.
"We're going to go to the beach!" Hayner said, grinning.
Blinking, Roxas arched an eyebrow, "How? We'll need munny."
"That's why we're going to go around the town and do small jobs to raise money." Olette smiled over at him, standing up where she was sitting.
Roxas remained quiet, earning a puzzled look from his three friends. Hayner let out a loud sigh, seeming to grow annoyed with his friend's silence, "What? Do you not want to go to the beach? Or are you just not wanting to help get munny to go?"
"No, that's not it." Roxas quickly shook his head, "I guess I'm just a little tired."
"You're still having strange dreams?" Olette questioned, a look of concern flashing across her face.
"Yeah." Roxas nodded, frowning. He had told his friends the day before that his dreams were bothering him. At first it had just been about a boy and who he assumed were his friends, but last night had been different. The boy had been in the beginning, but it seemed to drift off in another direction. There had been two new people he had never seen before. One had red hair and the other . . . black, possibly. The dream was so vague he couldn't really remember. He could mainly only recall that one was a male and the other female.
"Well maybe working will wake you up." Pence said, breaking Roxas out of his thoughts.
"Yeah, maybe." Roxas nodded, though he doubted his mind would be clear of these thoughts due to a few jobs.
"Well what are we waiting for? Come on!" Hayner said, looking around at them before darting out of the Usual Spot with Pence and Olette following close behind him. Roxas stared after them for a few seconds before standing up, going after them.
I can remember so much more than when I woke up. I can remember sea-salt ice cream, sitting on a clock tower with my two friends, going on missions. But now I can also remember their faces more clearly. Axel has bright green eyes with diamond-like markings under them. His hair is vibrantly red and spiky and he has weapons called chakrams. Roxas his blue eyes and spiky blond hair and from what I gather, we both can weild something called a "keyblade". I can't seem to summon it, though.
It's been about two days since I woke up. I haven't seen Namine around much. She only comes around to check on me and then disappears again shortly after. I don't bother her, because I don't want her to take longer on giving me more memories while talking to me. I find being greeting with these memories more special than talking to anyone. Though, I suppose being able to meet the people in my memories even more special.
Right now I'm wandering around the giant mansion that has served as my home for the past two days. I haven't really gotten a good look around, so I'm doing so now.
I walked out of one of the rooms, going over to the far side opposite of the room Namine had let me stay in, and pushed open the door. Inside the room was filled with shelves of books with a large table in the middle. Walking over to the table, I saw that there was a picture of something and beside it on the table seemed to be an unfinished version of it. One of the figures in one of the circles had been left unfinished. Next to it was a yellow crayon, which I picked up. Smiling, I glanced from the drawing to the drawing of the table, doing my best to finish it.
"There." I said, finishing the drawing and studying it. It looked very close to the original. I guess Namine had been drawing and didn't get enough spare time to finish it. Maybe she'd be happy to know she didn't have to finish it now . . . or would she be mad?
I didn't get to answer this myself as the drawing on the table began to glow. Frightened, I quickly stepped back as the floor began to glow red. Just as I reached the door, the glowing area on the floor disappeared, revealing a lower leveled section of the floor with stairs leading down to the bottom. Curious, I hesitantly made my way down the stairs, noting that it looked quite different compared to the rest of the room. It had a few flashing lights and wires. Once I reached the bottom of the stairs, I caught site of a door beside the stairs. I glanced around the room to make sure there was nothing else of interest before walking through the next door.
The next room looked the same as the last, though there were many different glowing screens in this one. I wasn't sure if it was right to be in here, but my curiosity was too strong to allow me to turn back. Though I decided to go to the next room just in case. I figured being in a room full of what could be computer screens wouldn't be that great of an idea. I was about to head into the next room when something caught my eye. To the side near the screens was a cleared out section. Above it hung some large circular device. I walked towards it, looking up at it. Glancing back over at the screens, I could see one was labeled "Simulated Twilight Town" and another near it was only labeled "Twilight Town".
"Simulated?" I questioned out loud, glancing back at the large machine. Namine had said this mansion was located in Twilight Town, so did this . . . thing have transportation to another one? Hesitantly stepping into the area, I glanced around, waiting for something to happen. After a few seconds of waiting, I knew nothing was going to happen. I let out a sigh and was about to step off when a switch to the side caught my eye. Above the switch there was a red light. I debated pushing it for a moment before deciding that nothing was happening now, so it was the only other option, and pressed it. The light quickly turned green and the circular object above me lit up and pixilized light shone down on me, enveloping me in light for a quick second before disappearing.
"Did it work?" I mumbled, though I knew there was no one around to answer me. The room still looked the same, so I wasn't sure if I was in the same place or not. Quickly I ran through the previous ways I had come in until I had come to the main room of the mansion. I had never been outside of the mansion, so I was unsure if I should leave or not.
What, so I should just turn back? I thought to myself, frowning and shaking my head before making my way down the stairs and across the room, pushing open one of the large doors and running through the yard and gates. It took me a while to make my way through the maze of trees but eventually I found an opening in a wall and walked through it.
I stood where I was for a moment, not sure where to go. It was a large town, or it was to me since I had only been to the mansion. In some of my memories there was glimpses or running around Twilight Town, but they were too vague to help me know my way around. I was about to start walking in a random direction before the sound of voices stopped me, causing me to duck back into the hole in the wall to keep myself hidden from whoever was coming.
"Come on Roxas, stop fretting over it! We can try going to the beach next summer. It's no big deal."
I froze immediately once the name 'Roxas' had hit my ears. I searched frantically for the source of the speaker, but couldn't see anyone until a few seconds later. I could see four figures making their way through. It wasn't long before I recognized one of them.
Roxas I pursed my lips together, trying my best not to jump up and run over to him. Instead I remained seated.
"He's right Roxas." The only group in the girl nodded, smiling.
"Yeah." Roxas nodded, "That was so strange though."
"Just stop talking about it." The other blond boy grumbled, waving his hand, "I'm going home. See you all later."
"Bye Hayner." The girl and the other boy said, though Roxas remained silent.
"I suppose we should be going as well." The girl smiled, "See ya Roxas, and don't worry about what happened, ok?"
"Sure. Bye Pence, bye Olette."
The two waved as they walked off, leaving Roxas by himself.
Roxas groaned, pressing his hand to his head, "Hopefully I can get a good night's sleep tonight. I really need it."
Xion was tempted to get up and say something to him, but she remained where she was as Roxas began walking away. She couldn't help but frown. He had new friends now? What about her and Axel? Had he forgotten all about them? Where was Axel anyway, and why was Roxas in this simulated Twilight Town and not the actual one.
I'll ask him tomorrow. I will talk to him. Xion nodded to herself, slowly standing up. She looked where Roxas had walked off to, as if seeing if he'd return. He didn't. She hesitantly turned around before darting back towards the mansion. She wanted to get there before Namine returned to check on her and see that she was gone. She didn't plan on telling Namine about this experience. She'd wait to make sure that was the right thing to do.
Well that's it. Hopefully the story will get better soon ^_^ I hope I'm not making anyone too out of character. Though since Xion kind of has no actual memories except the few Namine has copied and put into her she kind of has a slightly alternated personality I guess. I hope it isn't too bad D:
well that's it I suppose. Don't forget to review! Also, have a happy Halloween :D
