Chapter 14

This waking up in strange places with no full recollection of how I got there was getting old.

"You make me nervous." said a voice beside me.

I turned to find Axel's green eyes looking at me. I sighed groaning "I worry myself."

I watched as he unscrewed the top off a water bottle taking a few sips. "I got you out of there before some attendees decided they wanted to show up."

I scoffed "Why is that?"

"Because every time an attendee gets a hold of one of us we disappear for extended periods of time."

I yawned "Good point."

"How does your head feel?"

I shrugged "Okay far as I can tell."

"Leg?"

"Its been worse." I said looking at him with a raised eyebrow

He scoffed "Yeah yeah, I know."

"Don't feel bad."

"I'm gonna get us out of here."

Closing my eyes I sighed "Okay Axel..."

He spun around quickly "I'm serious. I can't deal with this."

"Axel even if you by some act of god managed to get out of here Im the last person you would want to take with you."

"Actually the last person would be Marluxia, you're a lot higher on the list." he said laughing

I rolled my eyes laughing lightly before stopping and looking down "Seriously though Axel..."

He sighed "What Roxas, what about you could be so horrible." he stood up running his hands through his hair. "I mean honestly!" he yelled "What the fuck could be so wrong with you Roxas!"

I sat up "How about that my name isnt even Roxas!" I yelled.

He turned to me looking puzzled. "What do you m-"

"Or how about my hair isn't blond or why the hell I'm here. You don't know me Axel!"

His face went blank as he sat down in the chair beside me. "Fine...explain."

I felt myself shaking as I realized ultimately what was happening. I scratched my head trying to find out how to begin, I didn't want to tell him like this. I looked down at me feet trying to find my voice.

"I was sent here by my parents and the court system after they assessed me as a habitual liar, which totally wasnt my fault seeing as I was breed into it not born into it." I stopped clearing my throat.

"My dad...um, back when I was a kid we lived in the middle of nowhere. Like seriously our closest neighbor was like five miles away and my dad...I can't think of a better phrase for sadistic murderer."

I stopped to see the reaction on his face but he didn't show any sign of emotion.

"We lived out really far...like I said and we had a shed type thing more like a barn I guess and I never went out there cause I was too little and my mom always told me not to but when I turned 9, I guess I got curious, and stumbled into something...a lot of somethings I wasn't supposed to see. There was blood everywhere."

I leaned back closing my eyes. "Some things can't be unseen. I'll give you the abbreviated version of the next two years which consisted of me in a pickup truck taking long drives out to the park watching innocent people being dragged back to my shed. Cleaning off bloodied tools and lying to my mother consistently and well. That's how I perfected my lying, you've got to be really good to look somebody in the eye and without a single shred of emotion and tell them the blood on your pants came from when you scarped your knee, not a woman grasping at her last chance of life."

I opened my eyes staring up at the ceiling pleasantly surprised by how calm I was.

"So when I finally got the balls to tell somebody everything went wrong, when I managed to expertly explain everything in such detail without a hitch they were concerned and with my parents on the sidelines yelling 'hes a demon' 'he wants to destroy us' it didn't take much for me to end up here."

I shrugged running my hand through my hair.

"My hair is brown but I lightened it originally with peroxide and then I got my hands on some real dye."

Axel just stared at me with his face completely void of feeling.

"Added an X to my name, thought that would be cool, it used to be Sora...decided to just settle in here. I mean why fight it you know? So if that-"

Axel held up his hand and stood shaking his head. Brushing back his hair I watched silently as he walked to the door without looking back and closed it behind him.

Like I said. Contentment doesn't last long.


A/N: Anger, disappointment, confusion. You're currently suffering from all these things aren't you...I know...its okay
