Here's chapter 6 of Ruined. Not much to say about this one, except that, although i like this chapter, i wish it was longer (it's only 677 words, and i like each chapter to be at least 1000 :/
but hey, at least i'm updating again (and this one is only 4 days from the previous update!).
Roxas POV
When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was an odd feeling on my chest. It felt….lighter, as though it was missing something constantly pressing against it. My eyes widened as I realized what was missing and I slipped my fingers to the place my necklace should be resting.
The fear I felt when it wasn't there was horrible. I immediately sat up where I was resting. My body ached from the injuries I sustained in my fight.
"Namine? Axel?" I called lightly into the room of the abandoned apartment. It was dark and the moon shined full and bright through a window. A cool breeze lightly flowed through the same window, slightly chilling my shirtless body.
Namine walked in a few seconds after I called, but something about her was off. She seemed apprehensive and wouldn't look me in the eyes.
"Nami, do you know where my necklace is? Do you think it fell off while I was fighting? We need to go back for it!" my voice slowly began to show more panic as I spoke.
"Roxas…" finally she looked me in the eyes; hers were beginning to fill with tears, but I didn't know why.
"Do you know what happened to it?"
Axel walked in and stood next to his sister, and he too had the same guilty expression.
"Guys, what are you not telling me?"
"Roxas…" again, Namine only whispered my name, and I started getting annoyed.
"We gave it away." Axel said frankly.
"What?" I didn't hear that right.
"We gave it to a doctor. He helped mend your injuries, but he wanted something in return or he was going to blow your brains out." he explained.
My world crashed around me. It felt like the day I had to kill my family. They meant everything to me, and then when they were gone, the necklace took their place. Now that that was gone, what was left?
I couldn't even speak. I jumped up and pulled a shirt over my head. I slung my backpack onto my back and grabbed my keyblades before running out the apartment. Behind me, Namine was yelling "Roxas!" but I didn't even look back.
I made it out of the apartment before I had to stop and take a breath. Out of the door ran Axel and Namine, both of whom were looking anxious.
"Roxas, we're sorry, but he was going to kill you! We had to do something!" the pyro tried reasoning with me, but I wasn't listening.
"You should've let him kill me!"
Namine took a step closer to me, and I took a step back.
"Don't leave, Roxas. Please." Namine pleaded, tears evident in her eyes.
"Get back!" I yelled.
"You won't survive alone out there!"
"I was alone for a whole year before I met you. I think I know how to survive."
"But…" she looked down. "What about us."
My anger filled me, and I clenched my fists. "There is no 'us', Namine. You were just a traveling partner for me and nothing more."
The hurt on her face was actually painful to look at. It was as though someone tore her heart out, but that was what I felt like when I learned that they just gave away my necklace.
I walked over to her and raised my hand; she cringed as though I was about to hit her and Axel tensed at her side. My hand reached for the flower I had put in her hair and pulled it out. I crumpled it in my hand before throwing it to the ground. I started walking away from them and turned my head towards them.
"Maybe I'll see you at the refugee camp, maybe not. Hope you don't die." I said almost sarcastically before running away. I just ran and ran and ran, and any zombie in my way was killed quickly.
I ended up crying. Whether it was from losing my necklace or losing the trust I put into Namine, I still don't know to this day.
