Chapter 2: Forbidden Memories...a curse is born

Ventus woke up in the bed, the blanket pulled over his face he didn't remember why he was doing this, maybe he was trying to hard he wasnt' sure anymore. "Terra..." he could feel the tears that were on his face, not that he wanted to think of them. He was worried again about his friends he had been dreaming about them all night as much as he hated to admit it. He had to be strong though he couldn't go to school and tell anyone what was bugging him that was just who he was. And he wanted to keep it to himself as he always did. He wanted to just relax and get away from everything, he looked to the side of his bed, or well the bed he was sleeping in. His school bag was sitting there with his skates next to that he didn't to go back yet but what choice did he have. He did have to wonder how he would face the day things might not have worked out as easy as he wanted them to but what was he really supposed to do or say anymore. He moved to get out of the bed, the sheets falling around his waist. He did not wish to do this, but what choice did he have the boy had to go to school whether he really wanted to or not. 'Time for just another boring day in school...' He barely wanted to deal with this there was nothing that would help him now and he was trying to hard again. Sora was bound to get mad at him for that but then again the boy always did maybe it was better if he just stopped. But he knew deep down in his heart he wouldn't be able to do moved towards the mirror and stopped staring at himself, he looked exhausted, as if he hadn't slept at all.

Though he knew he had and there was no reason for him to be this tired, or at least look this tired now. He could hear Sora approaching the door, there was nothing that they could do about all of this now and it might as well just get that way for the most part. 'Time to go...' he grabbed his bag, and raced down the stairs grabbing some bread off the counter before he laced up his skates. "Sora...took you long enough..." Ventus smirked and skated ahead of Sora, after locking his door. He was holding the bread in his mouth and trying to act as happy as possible not that it was working very well now. One day he might get into trouble for not sleeping enough or something like that but he wasnt' letting it get to him now. He had other matters on his hands and he was doing his best to deal with those at this same moment as well."So Ven feeling better from yesterday?" As always Sora was concerned it was in the boy's nature, if there was anyway he wouldn't be concerned well Ventus hadn't found it yet. "Well a bit...though I had some odd dreams again..." He hated them and part of him just wished they would go away now. But at the same moment he knew they wouldn't, things just never ended up working again. He was trying to make sure he was trying to do his best, and he would find his friends soon right. He nibbled on the bread tossing a piece to Sora as they skated down the streets. "Odd dreams?" Sora always asked and maybe there was a time for Ventus to tell Sora. He wanted to show Sora his life and his world.

Maybe even show him some things that he never bothered to show anyone right, even if it made little or no sense to any of them. Even some of the things he said made no sense to him. "Yea like one was I was in Disney Town with Terra and Aqua...but I've never been there with them...alone yes...Part of me wonders if it was what my mind wanted to happen...it just never did..." Only so much could have happened, and yet it was not one of those things. They might as well just let it go, and nothing helped again. 'This isn't right...those memories aren't real...maybe they arent' memories...maybe something fake that never existed...' He had to wonder why they would even talk about it there had to be a reason that he was not aware of. Maybe something he was never supposed to understand again."Well Ventus you know how it is...one day it will make sense to you until then live your life to the fullest..." that was all he needed to hear much less wanted to hear. Even if Sora didn't always think he sure knew what he was supposed to say. The blonde boys mind kept drifting back to Nemi, he held the charm for a moment letting it fall back against his backpack again. The boy skidded to a stop at the crosswalk, pulling Sora back as a car flew past them. Most people didn't bother to care these days about anyone, it was just the way it was and he couldn't get away from that. "Be more careful Sora trying to get yourself hurt...as always..." though he was just messing around, he knew Sora wasn't like that he just had his moments and things just did end up happening again.

"Well I just wanna get to school remember we get to take care of the animals today on the farm!" Sora always loved to take care of the animals and nothing would change that, he was just a hyper boy and that was just it."Yea Yea Sora I know...you had to sign us up for that didn't ya..." Not that he minded, as they approached the school, he got the feeling he was being watched again. He wanted to just get this over with, even though he liked the animals. There had to be a reason for all of it, and he might have just made a mistake now. He stopped and started to take off his skates when he saw Nemi and Uriel walk up with some girl clinging to Nemi's arm. He didn't know why that bugged him so much he just got up not bothering to untie his skates. "Come on Sora we gotta go Roxas is bound to be waiting for us...he was going to help to wasn't he..." He skated past Nemi and that girl that was clinging to them not even bothering to look at her. He waved to Uriel and Nemi before all of this went wrong. "Come on Ventus!"Ven ran after Sora, trying to get closer to this and figure it all out before things got worse. He couldn't let that rage fester and grow, specially since he had no idea why he was so annoyed with all of this there had to be a reason for it. Most of the time he hated thinking of the reasons to things to him it was just another waste of time that would be better off not said or thought. They raced towards the animal pens where Roxas was waiting for them. "Twin you were being slow again what happened this time?" Roxas always called Ventus twin apparently it was a little joke between them since well they looked almost exactly the same.

"Yea Yea we ran into someone or well almost did..." Ventus and Sora were untying their skates slipping into their normal shoes. The two of them left the bags and the skates in the locker area as they moved to take care of the animals. They had more then enough time before the bell rang, though they knew that even if they were late for class they had a reason and the teacher would understand as they always did. He had to wonder why he felt like Nemi was watching him, there was just something about that, as he went back to work the feeling was still there.

~.~ Nemi's Pov~.~

That blonde boy had crossed Nemi's path again as if it were fate almost, but the boy was skating away like no tomorrow. For some reason he couldn't keep his mind off of that boy, there had to be a reason for it didn't there. But he wouldnt' think about that, he had to introduce his little sister to some of the students and get her settled in. How he had gotten involved in this he was not sure, he had refused and yet his father still said he had to. "Come Vina we must talk you to the office..." he sighed and tried to ignore where his mind wanted to wander to which was far away from here. Once he had his sister's list of classes he took her to the first one. He felt a presence well three presences behind him. He moved his sister out of the way as Sora, Ventus and Roxas raced past him. Ventus was being dragged by Sora and Roxas was following slow behind. "Sora! we have to be careful other people and all that..." Ventus winced as he hit Sora who had stopped randomly he was also run into by Roxas. That was so painful and he didn't want to think about it.

"Let's just get inside..." he shoved the two other boys in the classroom and followed close behind them. He sat down in his corner staring out the window again, they had a new student it seemed but he never worried about it unless it had something to do with him. "This is Elvina Hyperion...She will be sitting next to Ventus...and Sora...Raise your hands boys..." the two boys raised their hands, Ventus really wasn't looking towards her, he didn't want to think about her his eyes drifted to Nemi standing at the door. He turned bright red and looked away, not sure if he wanted to look up again. But when he did, he noticed Nemi was gone again. That boy would never stay in one place for too long that was just the way it was. He didn't look up as she sat in between the two boys, he had more important things to do. He was drawing on his notebook, trying to keep his mind focused on the work but it wasn't working as much as he wanted it to now did it. 'That boy it's the one Nemi saved...he is so foolish...maybe just time to play with him...'She got up and stumbled to fall a bit grabbing onto Ventus, she had managed to get a few of his hairs that was all she needed. She would work her magic when she had the time to do winced and set her up straight again, though he was not sure why she was falling on him, it was like she had done that on purpose even though he could not be sure. He straightened up as the bell rang, it was passing period and he might as well go to his next class which was in the college building.

"Hey Ven meet us at lunch K? 8D" Sora raced off again dragging Roxas with him, that boy was always dragging people around usually it was Riku, Ventus or Roxas. They were just one of his many targets for such a thing. Ventus moved closer and walked towards the college building,sitting down unaware that he was sitting next to Nemi.

~.~ Another part in the school~.~

Vi was hidden away in the bathroom with Ventus's hair, she planned on cursing him, it would work She just had to be careful that Nemi never figured it out. Or any of the others that were here, if any of her family figured it out well then he would have problems and she would be in trouble again. She could remember that last time she cursed someone they jumped off the roof and killed themselves. That was not her intent but things happened. "He will have hallucinations and see his friends die again and again before his eyes...and if he sleeps it will be much much worse..." She smirked and moved out of the bathroom on the way to her next class. If she was not there she would have to hear it for that as well and she was in no mood of hearing it for not being there not now anyway.

~Back in Ven and Nemi's class~

Ventus was sitting there trying to pay attention to the board but randomly his head started hurting. He was trying to focus on the board again, but his vision blurred. He just curled up on the desk, closing his eyes not noticing Nemi look at him. The older boy traded glances with Uriel, they barely knew Ventus but there had to be a reason why he was acting like this. He was sleeping, the sound of his breathing said that much. But as he slept the nightmares began, ones he couldn't wake up from much less run away from.~Ven's nightmare~Ventus woke with a start in his bed, he was laying next to Terra, there was something in the bed it was warm like Terra was sweating. He reached out to touch Terra only to turn him over to realize he was covered in blood and the red substance was just that. He screamed and jumped out of the bed running into Aqua. She to was covered in blood, he was trying to get away now wasn't he. He ran into the master who was in the doorway he just screamed and felt someone shaking his shoulder. It was Nemi, the one sitting next to him, Uriel was sitting in front of the boy and the class was empty. It must have ended, he looked up and saw more blood. He just jumped out of his seat and ran there was no reason he would want to stay here now right. "I'm sorry but I have to go..." he raced out of the room, and out of the school building he just wanted to go home now even though school wasn't the time the day was over he was exhausted, and just wanted to get out of here, he raced home to avoid all contact he would not let anyone see this part of him. Sora was waiting for Ventus but couldn't find him anywhere. "we have to find out what that was about..." Uriel approached Sora and asked where Ventus lived. Sora told them though he said he hadnt' seen him yet."Thank you come on Nemi..." he dragged his cousin again, as they went to Ven's house they could hear the shattering of glass as they raced into the house kicking down the door. Ventus was laying against the wall of the bathroom, his arms cut up as he stared blankly at them. "Ventus..." he leaned down and looked at the boy only to have him freak and back up hitting his head on the sink. The boy had managed to knock himself out in which Nemi moved him to the bed. "Do you think she did something to him...?"

~Well that's the end of that...Vi cursed Ventus yes and well he will get the curse lifted soon enough thanks to Nemi and Uriel.~
