WARNING: Namine remembering the rape of one of the seven. I will note the parts with the rape so you can skip if it bothers you. It won't be explicit. It's important because it leads to some things later and explains some of Namine 8 reactions to things.

Mini Summary:

Basically several days have passed since the last chapter. Axel is finding himself getting more attached to the detached Namine. He is unsure of what to do. He is denial; this chapter takes place late one night.

'Well well' =thoughts

"Well well"=talking

The Memory Witch and the Pyro

Chapter 5 Nightmares and Comfort

"Here, and would you mind turning putting out those lights? I'm was trying to sleep." I smirked she was definitely a strange one, and something stirred in my heart a feeling I didn't remember ever having pure contentment.

Several days had passed, Namine still ignoring me. For some reason it aggravated me. Why should I care what she does? Its night and Namine is already asleep. I'm sitting brooding. That's when I hear her murmuring.

"No, no, please no. Stop please." 'Now what. 'I sat up summoning flames to illuminate the dark room. What I saw surprised me, Namine lay on the couch shaking violently. I stood up and walked over to her. When I reached the side of the couch I saw she was still asleep. There were tears on her face and she was sweating profusely.

"Please let me go, stop." I suddenly noticed that her voice sounded funny. It sounded like her voice but different at the same time, hadn't she said something about that? I reached forward to wake her. However, the second I touched her shoulder the whole world went black.

'What the fuck? Where am I.' Suddenly colors and light began to shift and sharpen around me. I found myself standing back in Namine's room only something was wrong.

Namine was sitting on the floor next to me but she was curled in a ball her hands over her head like she was trying to block out something. I reached my arm to touch her. That's when I saw a flash of pink.


WARNING START

Marluxia stood pinning a small blonde haired girl against the wall.

"What's the matter witch? You now you like it. Remember last time?" Marluxia grabbed a hold of the blonde's chin and turned her head so that she was facing him. I could see that her face was covered in tears and that she had a large bruise covering her left eye.

"Please just leave me alone. I'm begging you…" The voice was the same one he had heard Namine speak in. Like hers yet different at the same time. Marluxia just laughed and kissed her viciously. He put his one hand under her gown tearing it open. I stood in shock. What the fuck was going on? Marluxia pushed the girl onto the couch. And loosening his uniform he climbed on top of the girl. She tried to scream but he quickly put a hand over her mouth.

"Hush girl, you wouldn't want to distract Larxene would you? I don't think she would be very happy." Leered at her. As he forced him self into her.

WARNING OVER


I jumped when I felt something bump my leg. I looked down Namine was rocking back and forth violently. Her eyes were open and full of terror, tears streamed down her face. Unexplained rage gripped me. I stooped down and grabbed a hold of Namine pulling her to my chest.

"WAKE UP." I shouted. She looked up at me recognition flashed across her face. Suddenly everything went black again. I could still feel her in my arms, but I couldn't see a thing. Then we were back in Namine's room Marluxia and the girl were gone. It was just me, Namine, and the flames that danced around us. I was still holding her. I looked down when I felt something wet soaking into my shirt. She stood there in my arms sobbing. Her whole body shook. Without thinking I tightened my arms protectively around her. Leaning forward I muttered into her ear.

"Don't worry I've got you. He can't hurt now. I've got you." To my surprise she didn't pull away when she heard my voice. I felt her hands on my chest.

"Thank you, Axel."


Well want do you think. And yes this is what Namine was talking about when she said that the memories of the seven made it hard for her to sleep. And yes Axel was pulled into her nightmare. Please review.
