Chapter 5: What now?
Crap! Oh Crap and double crap! Just what I didn't want: someone finding out about us. And to worsen things out, it was Princess Larxene…and she was mad…and glaring at me! I hid behind Axel as he stood between us, in case Larxene tried to do something.
"Who gave you permission to be here?" Axel said, and I was relieved that he was the prince and even though Larxene was a princess, she couldn't do anything to him without getting in trouble, especially since she had to stick to our rules. "This tower is forbidden for anyone except the Royal Family"
"Oh but I am family, Axel!" she said pleased and I glared at her from behind Axel. Who did she think she was? "Or did you forget? We're going to get married. I just didn't expect you to find kissing a servant…much less a boy"
My heart sank then. She was right, they were going to be married and when Larxene reminded me I felt like someone had dropped twelve sacks of cement on me and then dumped rocks over the sacks to keep me from digging myself out. My heart wretched and I pressed my forehead against Axel's back as he took one of my hands and gently toke it as he glared at the blonde. I couldn't believe it. I started to sob, Larxene's words and annoying voice echoed inside my mind, ripping me apart.
"What are you doing here?" Axel spoke.
"Just came by to see your granny, they say she's a real sweet old prune" Larxene and now it was my turn to speak and I wasn't going to with my mouth…I was going to see her roll down the stairs!
"Shut up you slut, you're the only prune here!" I yelled as I scurried out from behind Axel and got ready to hit her, but before I could get far Axel had grabbed onto my wrists and kept me from lunging at her and she smirked.
No one—and I meant it—no one, insulted Granny Olette…even if Axel said something, I probably wouldn't care; I would hit anyone. Larxene had just gotten on my bad side.
"That is enough!" I heard Granny Olette say as she came down from her room above, glaring at Larxene, something which was rare, since she barely got mad at all. "You have a loose tongue don't you!" she said, pointing at the blonde witch in front of us with her walking stick as if wanting to hit her with it. "You might be a princess, but that gives you no right to torment people or insult them young missy. Now turn around before I hit you upside the head and drag you by the ear back to your father and tell him what you were doing to my grandsons!"
I looked at Larxene who looked horror struck and I knew she wanted to say something back, but she knew she had to swallow it; she didn't want to be hit. Even if she could declare war for that, I knew a bruise was something she would rather avoid, especially if it came from an old lady.
"Very well" she said with a glare, "I'll stop. But keep in mind, if anything in our marriage goes wrong, I'll sing that dirty little scene I just witnessed and you'll be left in shame and you know how your father is Axel"
"Do that, see if I bat an eye then" Axel countered, "At least I won't have to see your smug face or have to kiss you"
I smiled at that, Axel was serious when he said he loved me. I couldn't believe it. Larxene only glared at him. Once she was gone we looked back at Granny Olette, who was still mad and looked as if she wanted to go after Larxene and chew her alive but instead she gave a sigh and leaned against the wall, hanging on to her walking stick for balance.
"Easy there grandma'" Axel said as he helped me stabilize her, "the only person we want to see rolling down the stairs is Larxene…not you"
Granny smiled and chuckled before looking at the two of us.
"No wonder every person who has wanted to marry her has turned her away" she said, "She really is a Royal Pain"
"Don't joke" Axel said with approval. "I'm in for hell"
I gave a sigh before Axel helped me take Granny Olette back up stairs. Once we made sure she was safely in her room, we both left only to see someone unexpected going up the tower's stairs.
"Is that granny's lawyer?" I said as I watched the man in a tux go by us.
"I think so" Axel answered, confused like me. He looked at me before pushing me against the wall and I looked at him shocked.
"What?" I asked.
"Are you ok?" Axel asked.
"I think I am" I admitted, though that was far from the truth, I didn't feel ok.
Larxene had practically ripped me apart back at the stairs. She was such a pain. Granny was right. It's no wonder why all the people that fell for her left her. She was a slutty little bitch and something told me there was more to her than anything else.
"I hate this" Axel said before walking away from me and I followed him, squeezing between him and the stair's walls and stopping him form continuing.
"You say you really do love me" I said.
"I do" Axel said, "what is something wrong?"
I shook my head.
"If you really love me, then, I have something to ask you" I said and gave a sigh, trying to put it into words. "Don't toss everything away for me…I'm not worth anything you're throwing away, so just don't do it. I'd hate to see you in my position"
"I don't care Roxas" Axel huffed, "I told you already…what do you want me to engrave it in a plaque for you?"
"No!" I said. "Axel, you're lucky! You have everything"
"I don't" Axel said, "because I don't have you"
I was shocked by that one. But I didn't want him throwing away his heritage and everything he had just for me. I didn't want to see him without parents—once a person was excluded from the family here, the person was dead and had no rights to anything and was completely ignored. He didn't deserve that.
"Do you love me?" he asked.
"Of course" I said, my face reddening.
"No you don't" he said with a chuckle before walking off again.
"What's so funny?" I called after him and he turned.
"You're hard to read" he said. "You say you love me, but you don't want me to give up what I have so that I can be with you. If you really loved me, you wouldn't care about that"
I froze stiff and watched Axel came back up to me, standing a few steps away from me, so that we were at the same level and staring at each other's eyes
"I'll ask again" he said. "Do you love me?"
"I do" oh screw everything!
I lunged myself at Axel's lips and he kissed me back before his tongue pushed into my mouth.
"Stop being a pushover" he said in a gasp as he pulled away from me. "I don't care for my money, I only want you"
"Me too" I said, kissing him again.
I really melted into the kiss, feeling Axel's hand all over me; my body heated up intensely like a piece of coal. I started to shiver when Axel pulled away and nuzzled my neck, trickling the hairs behind my neck, planting hard kisses on it.
"What are you going to do?" I asked, with no need to elaborate.
"I have no clue" he answered, knowing all to well to what I was referring to. "But I hate it. I hate Larxene and I hate my dad…I can't believe how they're playing with me!"
"We can't do much" I said, putting up a few ideas in my head as to what we could do about our situation, but it seemed that Axel had figured something out faster than me cause I saw his face light up.
"Yes we can" he said. "Pack everything you can find and meet me tonight at the garden. We're leaving this place"
"What!" I said shocked. "Axel, are you serious?!"
"I am" he said, "I'm leaving this place. Larxene can do whatever she wants"
I got inside my room and locked the door, to make sure no one entered before took out my suitcase and began filling it up. Tonight we were going to leave to god knew where and I wasn't going to miss this chance to not only get away from Larxene, but to be together with Axel. I wondered where we were going to go. Would we go to a beach house away from here, or would he take us to a lodge in the middle of a luscious forest?
Anything sounded good at this point, as long as it meant getting away form Larxene. But I liked the though of being with Axel alone in the middle of a forest with a huge waterfall or maybe an apartment in a town full of people and where every night we could have fun and enjoy ourselves every evening. It all sounded so good. I would just kill to be with him in one of those places. Once I closed my suitcase, I hid it under my bed, not wanting anyone to know what I was up to.
I reach for my finger to play with the ring Axel had given me, and to my shock I couldn't find it. I gasped in surprise. I quickly stood up thinking. What had happened to it? Axel had given it to me a few days ago; it couldn't have gone missing like that! Had it slipped off my finger? I couldn't remember. I checked under my bed. It wasn't there and I bought the suitcase out again to make sure it hadn't slipped under it while I had shoved it in. It still wasn't there. I was going to check under my drawer before someone knocked at the door and I shot up surprised.
"Roxas are you in there?" Sora called and I ran to the door and unlocked it. "Why did you lock the door?"
"Sorry, I was going to start cleaning this room and I didn't want anyone coming in" I lied.
"With no supplies?" Sora said corking an eyebrow as he looked around for the broom and dust pan.
"I was going to get them later; I have to take all the stuff from the floor first!" I insisted and he seemed to fall for my lie.
"Well leave that aside, Marluxia needs your help" Sora said walking back out, pulling me with him before he closed the door shut and dragged me away
-Axel-
I hurried into my room, opened my closet and brought out my suitcase, opened it and soon anything that I could use, that wouldn't draw attention to me by pointing me out as a prince was flying through the air and into the suitcase. I had to hurry; I didn't know when my mother, or father or even princess Larxene could walk in and catch me. Black jeans, check, checkerboard torn up nerdy camisole…uncheck…why would I need that?! That wasn't my stile! Fingerless gloves…check, shoes, check…socks…check…briefs…uncheck…I don't have any of those…boxers…check. Anything clothing I had kept secret form my father that officially identified me as an urban person was thrown inside my suitcase and I closed it before I hid it under my bed, closed the closet and gave a sigh before tossing myself over my bed.
Almost as soon as I was done, Kairi ran in, closed the door and looked at me with a pale face that screamed utter horror and despair. I looked at her before she slid down the door, apparently traumatized for some reason, her breathing uneven and I figured she had been running.
"She's driving me nuts!" she declared, still looking at me with wide eyes. "She won't shut up about those dumbass retards she had for boyfriends before and she won't even let me get near Reno!"
I laughed, rolling onto my stomach.
"To bad I won't be here for me to see her braid your hair" I chuckled, knowing well I could tell her, besides, I needed someone at the castle to tell me what my father is up to while Roxas and I make our vanishing act.
She looked at me horrified but shrugged it off when she caught up with my question.
"What do you mean?" she asked, her chest heaving up and down uncontrollably as she tried to catch her breath.
"I'm leaving this place with Roxas" I said, "and I don't want dad to find us, so I'm sure you can keep me informed of what will be going on while I'm away"
"You're leaving me with this monster!" she screamed in horror and I glared at her, daring to scream again and she held her breath then. "You've got to be kidding me!"
"I'm leaving to get away form her" I said. "She found out about Roxas and me and now is driving me nuts!"
"You told him!" she squealed before jumping and running over to me and I nodded. "Finally" she hugged me.
"Unfortunately Larxene knows and if she's going to tell dad, I rather be a thousand miles away from him" I said, "So I'm taking Roxas away from here with me"
"Oh, not even married and planning a honey moon!" Kairi laughed and I chuckled.
"Kairi, Oh Kairi, where are you?" I hear Larxene and Kairi quickly paled, getting off me and in a flash she hid under my bed with my suitcase, hitting herself with it.
"Oh, I see you're packed" she said but shrugged it off. "Please don't tell her I'm here!"
The door opened and I laid there in my bed, watching as the spoiled princess came walking in.
"Have you seen Kairi?" she asked in a sweet voice, "I was talking to her and I told her to give me a moment while I fixed my makeup, and she seems to have gone off somewhere in the castle"
I shrugged and Larxene gave a sigh before she closed the door. Ok, her mood swings were now giving me a whiplash…I was going t feel sorry for Kairi for when I left, but I wasn't going to stay around to be wedded to the spoiled brat.
"She's gone" I said and Kairi slid out from under the bed.
"I'm going to lock myself in my room for the rest of my life" she said, running to the door and running out before Larxene could notice her coming out.
I gave a sigh. Apparently Roxas and I weren't the only ones in for hell while having her around.
Well, things are going to go down hill from here on in, but I need your help guys. I already have three places for Axel and Roxas to go to and have the scenario set, but I don't know where to send them. There's a poll in my account, so go and tell me where you think Axel ad Roxas should go to.
And please, leave a review and tell me what you think.
