"roxas"

"Lillux"

"Like I said, no one would miss me"

"don't hurt him"

"ill find you"

"why?"

"I love you..."

The memories seemed so nice, but, something changed...

"I thought you loved me?"

"I do"

"liar!"

"i would never do that"

"slut"

"what are you doing!?"

"hmph"

"please, stop, NO"

Your eyes spring up with your body, breathing heavily you look around the semi dark room. you gasp seeing someone sitting in a chair across from the bed, but as your eyes adjust you see it was Derick, sleeping soundly. you sigh and try to calm down more. He waits a moment before opening his eyes and faking a yawn. he looks at you. 'oh, your up" he says sitting up. you don't say anything but nod. he watches as you wipe sweat from your warm forehead, eyes wide trembling with trauma. "what's wrong?" he asks suddenly concerned while jumping up and rushing over to you. you don't look at him as stress begins to flood your chest and your eyes begin to water. you put you hands over your eyes as warm salt water escapes them.

"oh, what's wrong?" Derick asks embracing you. you bury your face in his chest and cry. his eyes flash and an image of blood streaks across your mind. you cringe trying to push the image out of your mind. he takes that chance to squeeze you a little in an attempt to comfort you. you shiver from the stress as you wrap your arms all the way around Derick, after a few minutes he pulls away. "what's wrong?" he asks looking at you softly. "i, i had a bad dream, about Roxas" you say wiping one eye. "what about?" Derick asks wiping your other eye, you would blush at the gesture but were too shocked by your dream.

"well" you say pausing to quickly gather your thoughts and take a deep breath. "It started out ok, Lillux and Roxas were happy, but Roxas left for some reason, and when Lillux tried to stop him he didn't listen, someone tried to fight Roxas and hurt him, but Lillux came and helped him , then she did something that made her dissapear, she came back somehow, and life went back to normal, then Roxas got paranoid one day, and, and...went too far" you say as the tears began to come back.

"you had a dream of him... killing her?" Derick asks. "you nod as you begin to cry again. he embraces you again. "it was so realistic" your muffled voice rang from his chest. "it's ok" he says slightly cradling you. you cry a bit more before you fall asleep. he lays you down and opens the window to cool you down. he stares at your sleeping figure with a sly smirk. "it's all falling into place" he whispers walking out the door.

your eye slowly peeled open as a weak beam of sunlight hit your face. you sit up in what seemed like slow motion and slide your feet over the bed, you felt strange, like you weren't yourself, luckily the feeling faded and you were able to go about your business. you showered and washed your clothes, while your only pair of clothes were washing you had to sit in a towel and eat breakfast. though Derick didn't come in you were afraid someone would. your clothes were finally finished and you put them on.

you walk into the bedroom and sit, thinking, "oh" you say remembering what had happened last night. you blush thinking about how many times you and Derick have hugged. but you were also thankful he was there for you. you turn and look out the window. a big clock was far away, with bells hanging off the sides. you look down and the alley below the window. you wanted to go out, bu the danger was too much of a risk. "I don't know where i came from, my life is full of danger and hiding, and I can't go outside, what more could I want" you say quietly with a sarcastic tone and look on your face. "but..." you say as your lips curl into a gentle smile.

Derick flashes across your mind. you shake your head. "I need to figure this all out" you say while you lay down in bed and stare at the ceiling.

(1 1/2 months go by)

you sit on your window sill, staring out over the town with empty eyes. huge bags were under your eyes and your mind was blank. the door opens and you don't turn to look who had come in, you knew already. it was Derick, he had come to visit everyday since you had first come to this place, to make sure you were ok. he walks up behind you. "you ok?" he asks. you slightly nod while still looking out the window. he looks to a wall, then back to you. he sighs. "it's time" he says you slightly turn to him waiting for his explanation.

he sits next to you on the bed. "here" he says reaching into his pocket. he pulls out a necklace, with a dark crystal on it and raps it around your neck. you look at it. "thanks" you say. "it's special" he says. you cock an eyebrow. "if you ever need to escape, just concentrate on this, a portal will open and you can get away if your in trouble" he says "I can go out?" you ask astonished. he nods. your eyes fill with a thin layer of tears. "oh thank you!" you exclaim embracing him in a hug. for the first time he had a sincere smile on his face. "if it makes you happy" he says as you peel away.

A grateful look was still spread on your face. your cheeks heats up as you find yourself staring into his eyes. slowly but surely your faces were getting closer and closer together, your warm lips were centimeters apart from his when a shrill noise cut through the air making you jump slightly out of shock. Derick takes something out of his pocket and examines it. "I'm really sorry but I gotta go" he says jumping up and rushing out the door. "be careful!" you hear his voice echo. you stare at the door with your mouth slightly open in shock. after a minute or two you awkwardly stand up and slowly walk to exit the building.
