I have a question for you all. Would anyone be interested in being a Beta for this story for me? I really would like one, just to help me out. If you're interested, then let me know :D

Oh and I noticed that in the last chapter, I messed up the number O_O

It's supposed to be chapter 6, just so you know :D


Chapter 7: Hope

I woke up in hopes that everything would be back to normal. I would be at home and I'd be able to see Axel. Instead, I woke up to the smell of mold and knew that everything that had happened was not a dream. Axel was no where, and I was in danger.

Standing up from the bed, I looked around. It was dark out, which meant I had been out for hours. There were no noises in the house that I could here. "They must be out somewhere." I thought as I walked down the hallway, until I saw Marluxia fast asleep on the couch in the living room. I decided to make my break away.

I walked as quietly as I could to the door that led to outside. Once I opened the door, a voice said, "Not so fast, Roxie." I turned and saw Marluxia sitting up. "Do you need me to repeat what happened earlier?" My eyes grew wide as he reminded me of what had happened.

~Flashback~

Marluxia climbed on top of me and rubbed his face in my hair. "G-Get off of me!" I shouted while trying to push him off. Unfortunately, I was too weak compared to him.

"You're so cute, Roxy." He muttered as he trailed kisses from my forehead until he reached my lips. He tasted like beer and candy, which was a weird mixture.

After that, it was too much for me to even remember.

~Out of Flashback~

I sighed in defeat as I retreated back into the bedroom, while limping. "Please, Axel." I pleaded under my breath as I laid down. "Please save me."

Axel's POV

"So, you're saying that we can't get married until you come up with 50,000 dollars to save Roxas?" Demyx said as we sat at the kitchen table. Demyx looked sceptical about the whole situation. "How do you know if they're even telling the truth about giving you Roxas if you give them the money? For all we know, Roxas could be dead right now."

"He's not dead." I said in a matter-of-fact way. "Marluxia isn't like that. He'd toy with him for a while until I bring him the money. Even then, he probably wouldn't have the heart to kill him. And besides, I'm not even going to give him the money. First, I'm going to find out the location of where they're at, and then I'll go and save Roxas."

"I don't think they would just hand you Roxas if you go there." Demyx said. "I've known Marluxia for a while and he may seem stupid, but he's not that dumb."

"You don't understand," I said while trying to fight back tears. I tried to busy myself by getting a glass of water, so Demyx wouldn't see the tears. "I need to get Roxas back."

"If I didn't know better, it sounds like you're in love with him." Demyx said with a slight laugh. I didn't think it was funny, however.

"I'm not." I said defensively while drinking some of the water from my glass. "I just care for him. I knew him since he was really little, you know that. And besides, he's 12 years old. That would be rape if we were ever together, which is disgusting."

"I know, I know." Demyx said while putting his hands up innocently. "I was just kidding. Calm down. I know you don't love him. You love me, right?"

"...Yeah, of course." I said after a short pause.

"There was a pause." Demyx said with worry on his face. "Why was there a pause?" He stood up and looked at me expectantly.

"I don't know." I said while turning my back on him to put the empty glass in the sink. "I was thinking about something. I'm sorry."

"Do you love me?" Demyx asked while walking close to me until he had me pinned against the counter.

"Of-Of course I do!" I said while gently pushing him back gently so that he wasn't so close.

"Prove it." He said with a look in his eyes that I knew all too well. He leaned in and kissed me lightly on the lips. When he pulled back, he looked into my eyes before kissing me again, although a little more roughly this time.

I pulled away and looked at him. "I'm not in the mood, Dem." I walked passed him and up the stairs towards our room.

"You're a big jerk!" He called up after me, but I ignored him. When I got to the room, I shut the door and laid down on the bed.

I knew a nap wouldn't hurt, so I fell asleep.

That night, I had a dream that weirded me out more than anything in the world. I dreamt that Roxas was home and safe. He was crying and I was holding him. We ended up kissing, which turned into touching, which led to...sex. I woke up, breathing heavily. I didn't have to check to know that I had an erection. I looked over and saw Demyx sleeping peacefully beside me.

I decided not to wake him and to not bother with the erection. That was the least of my worries. I had just had a dream about a kid. A kid! Not just a kid, a 12 year old boy who most likely didn't even know what sex was. I felt dirty and disgusted with myself. I rolled on to my side and, after a long time, fell asleep.


Well, sorry, but this was kind of a short chapter. This was really short, actually. I'm very sorry... I thought it was good to leave off where I did. Please review :D I promise the next chapter will be longer.
