WILL CONTINUE NEXT A/N AT START OF CHAPTER!!!
Once Roxas awoke, he could tell that dinner was ready from the smells wafting from the kitchen downstairs. He stood up and noticed that his shoes were still on. He took them off along with his socks and left them tumbled by his bed
Out of queer curiosity he slid open the two sliding doors to his closet and stood back. All of this clothes from his house were either folded neatly in sliding wooden compartments or hanged separately from hangers. He was mildly surprised that somebody had trekked into his hellhole of a bedroom and scouted all of his clothes, washed them, dried then, looks like they ironed them and put them nicely in his new closet. He would ask Namine about it when we went downstairs.
He changed into a pair of shorts and a blue shirt and left his clothes on his bed in a rumpled state and left his room for downstairs.
The Mansion was exactly as he had remembered it; red velvet curtains, dark wood, musty smell the works of a Victorian Billionaires home. His room was in one of the doors on the left wing from the door, and it was beside the library. He walked down the red carpet and down the steps, slowly, savoring the moment. Before his eyes he saw the broken rungs in the railing fix and shine, the dusty surfaces shine, and people dancing on the carpeted ball floor at the bottom of the stairs. Dressed in elegant clothes and tails the people danced to a waltzing tune, a string band played in the corner, but the center of attention was a beautiful teenage girl dancing blond haired boy. They looked similar, they were related, the boy looked happy and in love… whip-de-fucking do it was Roxas dancing with Namine.
"Damn!" He cursed, he had half mind running down the steps and breaking up the dance but interest succumbed over rage. Namine's hair was bundled up in a nest in the back of her head with two bangs dancing over her face. Her dress was the color of periwinkle with a plump petticoat. Her complexion was clear and fair and shine free, she gently held Roxas' hand and they danced about the room, Roxas's hand on her waist, Namine's on his shoulder.
No sound came form the band or the tapping of shoes on the floor. The only voices that sounded in the room were Roxas's and Namine's.
"So, how's your birthday coming?" His voice wasn't as deep as it was now, he must have still been young. Namine smiled and pulled her foot away from his, footsies.
"It's fine, thank you. Thanks for showing up," Roxas laughed and turned his head.
"Fashionably late is better then not coming at all, right?" Namine shrugged. The beat became more up tune.
"What did you give me for my present?" Namine asked him.
"I didn't get you one," Roxas said, downcast appeared on her face.
"It's ok…"
"Because I already have it right here for you," Roxas let go of her hand and stopped dancing, he let go of her hand and placed her hand on his heart.
"You can have my heart," He whispered softly. But before she could answer, a door opened on the right side of the room. Namine, the older Namine came out and started to walk towards the stairs when her heart gave a jolt.
"Jesus! You scared me, Roxas!" Roxas didn't reply, he only walked down the stairs and as she past she said;
"You used to live here with me and my family. Your family had one wing, we had the other. One night after you left my father killed your father and a riot started." Appalled, Roxas turned his head to meet her gaze.
"Are… are you serious?" Namine nodded.
"Come to the dining room and I'll tell you the rest," Obediently, Roxas followed the fast paced Namine into the Dining room where dinner was layed out.
"Do you cook?" Roxas questioned out of the blue. Namine laughed as tossed him a cloth from a armoire drawer.
"Me? Nah, I bewitch the pots to do the cooking for me. Haha, I'd burn the house down." She laughed, Namine sat down at her seat and poured herself some wine, but only a quarter.
"Do you drink?" Namine offered him a glass.
"Only rarely, and when I do I usually mix it with juice," Namine answered, then chuckled. Roxas handed her his goblet.
"Would you like for me to water it down for you,"
"No," He answered without feeling. He wanted her to hurry up and tell him about his family, about his life.
"Anyways, to the matter at hand. After my father killed yours, a riot happened. Everybody was killed in the struggle to free themselves, all except myself, you, your older brother and your younger sister. We were playing Truth or Dare in my bedroom when it all happened. We were playing our music so loud we didn't hear anything."
"Why did your father kill mine?" Roxas questioned, Namine ladled some soup into her bowl, then some into Roxas's.
"Personally, I really don't know," She was put about to spoon up some soup when she dropped her spoon and her hands flew to her face. Her retching sobs broke the hating barrier between Roxas and Namine… momentarily.
"Stop crying and tell me the rest would you?" Namine sniffled.
"You're so cold." She responded and lifted her head. Her porcelain skin was tarnished by red cheeks and tears pouring down her face.
"I miss them so much it still hurts after all this time…" She wiped the tears away on her arm and dropped her head.
"Where did everybody go once they all were slaughtered?" Roxas wanted her to feel dread for that night, even though conjuring memories were hard for her.
"I lost touch with Falcon years ago but Tabitha is still living in Twilight Town." A glimmer of hope shot through Roxas.
"Can I see her?" He questioned, Namine darted her eyes to the side.
"Roxas, did anyone tell you that you left? You left years ago and joined the Organization. Tabby had a mental breakdown and Falcon went all weird after you left as well." Roxas looked as if he still didn't get it.
"She hates you, Roxas and so does Falcon. They loved you because they thought it was their duty to protect you, you were the middle child. But after you left Tabby had such a tantrum…"
Six Years Prior…
Before Falcon could stop her, Tabby picked up her silver hair brush and flung it at the mirror in their Father's study.
"He's a coward, Falcon! Why would you want to go after him?"
"Because he's our brother Tabby! You love him. He had his reasons for leaving…" She laughed a hollow, menacing laugh and darted out the door. Falcon followed her, trying to console her.
"Falcon you may be a soft cushion but I'm not. You go after him, bring him home and I'll kill him." She ran to Roxas's room and opened the door. The first place she went for was his stash of beloved books. One by one she took them off his mantle and ripped out various pages. Falcon took the one book and pulled her by the scruff of her neck and sat her down on the bed.
"Listen to me, Tabitha! Stop this stupid spazzing out, it's doing nothing to bring him back…"
"Then what will?!" She screamed into her elder brother's face.
"He… he went to join the Organization… he's gone and joined Xemnes!" Tabitha barked. Falcon's eyes opened wide and he stepped back in horror.
"The— The Organization. The Organization?" Tabitha nodded her head and wiped the tears from her grief stricken face.
"Did he say why?" Falcon questioned, Tabby shook her head.
"He said that it was time to make something of himself and not waste time here"
"Why the hell didn't you tell me?" She laughed.
"You were with your girlfriend." She mocked, Falcon sat down on his brother's bed and rubbed his temples with his two index fingers.
"Every body is dead and Roxas has left, what do we do?" She cried out, at that moment, Namine came running up into Roxas's bedroom thinking he might have come back, but only found the quarreling siblings.
"What's going on?" Namine asked, Falcon stood up and past her in the hallway.
"I'm going to go look for Roxas."
"No!" Tabby shouted, and rushed to grab her brothers arm. He loosened it and kept walking on.
"If you leave then I have to leave too! Let me come with you!" Falcon laughed and turned as he was going down the stairs.
"You're a hindrance as it is. No, stays in Twilight Town until I get back, Namine take over the house. I'll come back once a year on Roxas's birthday and that time alone unless I bring him back myself." Before anybody could stop him, he ran from the house and out the door.
"Falcon!" Tabby called, but he was gone.
Present Tense…
Roxas sat dumbfounded. He left to join the Organization and abandoned his only family? Why the bloody fucking hell would he do that?
"I understand that it's a lot to take in but if it helps, they loved you. I wish I still had family…" Roxas totally ignored her, as he broke down. He didn't cry, he just sat there not saying a word, wishing he could cry.
Namine stood up, and encircled her arms around his shoulders. Roxas started to shove her off, but her grip was too strong and comforting. She nestled her head into his shoulder blade and started to cry.
"Out of everybody else, you're all that I have left." Namine whispered, Roxas pushed out his chair and stood up. He circled her arms around his waist and hugged her close, he relished her presence and hugged her back. Her hug was like… a forgotten memory. Something he loved only to forget it then remember it. Before he joined the Organization, what relationship did they have?
He was sorry. So, sorry that he did what he did, he didn't mean to…
But he still wanted to kill Namine for caging him.
