Hey, I got another chapter up! Go me:3 Nya, I stayed up late just to finish it, even though I didn't get as much written as I hoped to. Part of Tori's power is revealed thoguh. But the action will come in the next chapter, I promise. Now I should really get back to Frozen Dream...
Dislcaimer: Sorry, I don't own Kingdom Hearts. I only own Tori and her awsomeness. And no, you can't take in. D:
The Superior had his arms coolly crossed behind his back as he circled the young girl. Her eyes were glued to him, not daring to let him out of her sight. "Are you really our angel?" he asked her. She was silent, not sure of how to answer. When she didn't reply, Xemnas continued on. "We were supposedly brought back to out non-existent lives by some sort of 'angel', the Angel of the Nobodies. It was said that by her very will of though, that she brought us back."
Tori was in complete awe now. She had wanted the Organization to come back. She could remember how every day, after beating Kingdom Hearts 2, how she wish she could bring them back; to save their lives, to give them all hearts to make them whole. But, did she really have that power to do that? Or was it someone else that willed for the Nobodies to thrive?
"Saix told me that you know a lot about us all. Like our Trues Names, ranks and Nicknames. Was it hard for you to learn such information? Or did it come naturally?" the Superior asked. "I do know a lot," she finally said, "but it did take me a while to learn everything. And yet I still don't know as much as I thought." Her voice was soft as she remembered how she had stayed up late, just to learn more about the Organization and the Nobodies. She was completely fascinated by them. Not just by their looks, but by their thoughts and actions. Never before had she had seen characters like these.
"But," Xemnas started again, "by the way you are acting, I'm beginning to doubt that you are really the one who could do such a thing. You are to timid and small. You have no greatness about you. There is no strength behind your words. Maybe I have made a mistake..." he then trailed off, his eyes giving off a faraway look.
The Superior glanced over at Tori, to see how she was taking such news. Her face was covered with pain and confusion. He smirked inwardly. Now to unleash her sealed power...
"Saix," he called out to the other man. "Yes, my Superior?" came the calm reply.
"Dispose of this girl. She is not the one we seek."
Tori gasped. Did he mean as in, kill her? A knot began to form in the pit of her stomach as Saix edged closer. She could feel herself subconsciously backing up, her body quivering with fright. "No...NO!" And with that she ran out of the room.
Xemnas chuckled despite himself. "Give her a 2 minute head start, then you may go after her."
"Yes, Xemnas."
.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.
Tori was breathing hard as she searched frantically over the Proof of Existence for Demyx's plaque. Her heart raced as she searched over and over for it. Saix was coming soon, so she didn't have much time.
'Why can't I find it?!' she thought angrily to herself as she growled in frustration. She then froze when the soft 'clack' of the heel of shoes began to come down the stairs. Without thinking, Tori dove through the nearest portal to escape from the coming wrath of the Berserker.
.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.
Tori let out a loud oof' as she landed on a hard carpeted surface. Groaning, she sat up to find herself in a rather large library. Sighing in relief, she jumped up to wander around to look for a hiding spot and a nobody.
The library was even larger that she though as she traveled about. Hundreds of bookcases lined the walls, giving the room a feeling of that of a maze. Once in a while, Tori would find a few books that had been carelessly tossed aside on the floor. Chairs, tables and couches were randomly scattered throughout the room. When she came to the center of it all, she stopped in her tracks.
Lying down on one of the couches was none other that Emo Boy himself; Zexion. One of his legs were bent while the other was lazily draped over the edge. Books were piled up around him. His nose suddenly twitched slightly, making Tori realize that he knew she was there. She didn't bother trying to run away. Zexion probably didn't care what she did as long as she didn't disturb him. Without looking up, the Emo asked, "Who are you?"
Tori felt her knees buckle under her weight and face grow hot. His voice was soft, silky, and smooth, yet deep, cold, and firm. She really liked his voice.
"Um, I'm Tori."
Zexion remained silent. Tori at first thought that he hadn't heard her, and was about to repeat herself when he finally spoke up. "What are you doing here?"
Tori couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, I was wondering that myself. What the heck am I doing here? I was going home from school when Saix popped out of nowhere and pushed me through a dark portal and I ended up on Destiny Islands." She began to know pace across the area. "Then when I finally get to meet the Trio of Heros, Saix comes back and then takes me here, to the Castle That Never Was. And then he put me in a cell, a freakin' gosh forsaken cell that Kairi was held captive in. And after that, I make myself look like an idiot in front of Demyx by crying cause he was actually alive and not deadd." She took a deep breath and then began to ramble on. "Then Saix threatened to break his sitar if he used a fricken portal, so we had to walk the whole way to Mansex's stupid office, and once we got there, he left me alone with them! You do not leave a girl alone with the Superior or the Berserker. Trust me, it doesn't end well. Superior then started to call me an angel and then said I wasn't and then told Saix to go kill me. So I ran and I was trying to find Demyx, but Saix was already after me, so I jumped into the nearest door I saw and now here I am!" She let our a huff of air as she plopped into a chair across from Zexion.
By now he was completely alert at what the girl was saying. During the middle of Tori's rant, he had put his book down and sit up. From the pieces of information that he could understand, it sounded as if Saix had intentionally brought this girl here just to kill her. But that didn't make sense. Saix might be a little psychotic, but he didn't kill just for the fun of it. She said that Xemnas had called her an angel. 'Wait, angel?' The thought struck him. Was this the angel that supposedly was supposed to save them? As he looked her over, doubt flooded him. She was to plain, and there seemed nothing special about her. Yet...somewhere deep inside him, he felt that there was more then met the eye.
.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.
Saix could feel himself losing control. When he finally was able to go after the girl, he immediately went to Demyx, expecting her to be with him. But all he found was the musician lounging around on his bed, playing his sitar. After that, the Berserker had search the whole castle for her. Hours went by and there still was no sign of her.
Saix let out an agitated growl. If he didn't find Tori soon, he knew that not only Xemnas would be mad, but he, himself, would already start to tear something apart. The man soon continued on his search for the 'fake' angel after trying to soothe his annoyance. 'Once I find her,' he thought, 'I won't even let her beg for mercy.'
.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.::o::.
Tori scanned over the books, looking for an interesting topic. Already she had been stuck in the library for 2 hours. Talking to Zexion, or at least, attempting to, had gotten boring, seeing as how he barley answered her. Letting out a deep sigh, she searched on. Minutes passed and still there was nothing. Turning in defeat, she lazily sat back down.
'So bored...'
When one who has a creative imagination is bored out of their mind and cannot seem to find any source of entertainment, they resort to the next best thing; their thoughts. So Tori decided to resort to that action. She closed her eyes and let her thoughts drift.
But for some reason, her imagination was somehow different. Her mind was blank and hazy. All that flowed through was an image of herself. Tori couldn't understand this at all. Slowly, she began to try and melt the image of herself, to let other images form, but nothing happened. After several attempts, she realized that one thought was not going to go away. So she then went to change her clothes. The uniform soon peeled away, replaced by an organization coat, only slight changes in it. The gloves where now fingerless, and a silver belt was draped across her waist. Several piercings were now implanted into her ears and chokers hung around her neck.
A sharp pang brought Tori back to reality, making her cry up. Zexion glanced up at her, then back down at his book, but suddenly back up again, a look of confusion spread across his handsome features. Tori caught his look, gazing down herself. She jumped up in surprise once she saw that she was wearing what she had pictured herself in. "How is this possible?" she mumbled, looking herself over. Somehow, this had sparked Zexion's interest, bringing him over to her. His eyes traveled up and down her body. The young girl felt herself shiver. No one had ever done that before.
Eventually he spoke up. "How...did you do that?" he asked her. Tori wasn't exactly sure of how to answer. "Well," she stated," I just imagined it, and it happened." Her voice was quiet, still full of shock. Something went off in the Emo's head. Maybe this actually was the angel that the Superior was talking about. Now to kill her off? He was making a huge mistake...
"Stay here, got it? Don't leave for anything." Zexion told her, opening up a dark portal. "What? Wait, where are you..? No, you can't leave me here, what if..." she was cut off as the man disappeared from view. "..Saix comes?" Glumly, she laid down on the couch he had once occupied. Now she was all alone. What if Saix did come? She couldn't protect herself, she could only run.
Tori pulled the hood of her jacket over her head, beginning to fall into a light sleep. If he did come, she would put up a fight. She wouldn't let him kill her that easily.
Well, there's a little suspence for ya. Will Saix find Tori or not? I already know, but you shall soon find out! insert insane stupid laughter here Um yeah..I should go to bed now...
