Well so far I have been able to keep my goal of at least one chapter a day. YAY ME. Anyway this was one of my favorite chaps. I've been trying to figure out how to put in the Marluxia scene.

I don't have anyone editing my stories and I'm not the most patient editor in the world. So please let me know if there are any mistakes.

The Memory Witch and the Pyro

Chapter 6 Secrets, Feelings, and Love?

Recap:

"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."

Namine's POV

As I began to drift asleep I thought about the man sitting not far off, Axel. He was the strangest person I had ever met. He'd go from silent to annoyingly talkative in three seconds flat. But I had to admit he was kinda of cute, okay fine he was gorgeous. His red spiked hair, brilliant green eyes, and not to mention his oh so annoying and arrogant smirk… 'Bad, bad Namine I can't think of him that way. He's not a friend.' My mind wandered to our discussion about my 'power'. There were several things I hadn't told him. Like once I had SEE and drawn a person I was able to enter their mind and distort, alter, add, or erase memories. I also could communicate with them, and more intriguing, to me anyway, was my ability to send pictures of my surroundings to someone I had drawn. I discovered these three abilities when I fell asleep and realized I could see memories from the lives of the seven. Though those dreams I had learned that the seven were able to somehow keep the ability to enter other's minds and talk to them or send "images" a secret. Although at least Larxene and Marluxia, and probably Axel, knew about my memory alteration abilities I still had these two small advantages. And I sure as hell wasn't about to lose them to the first person that showed any interest in my life. The one downside to my powers; didn't have any control over what memories of the seven I saw when I was asleep. When I had said they made it hard to sleep I hadn't been lying. I had just omitted the reason, not all of the seven's memories were good ones, some where the stuff of nightmares. So when I "awoke" sitting in my room watching Marluxia pin one of the seven against the wall I already knew what was going to happen. I had SEEN it happen many times in my sleep. So I curled up using my arms to cover my head and block out the sounds, and waited for it to be over. I felt a pressure on my shoulder, and then another presence entered the "room". I was too worried to look up. Then there was a scream that no amount of pressure on my ears could block out. I could feel the unbidden tears course down my face. I couldn't help myself, I looked up, and saw Marluxia hovering over the girl. I felt something wrap around me. And a voice yelled near my ear. "WAKE UP." I woke for real this time. The first thing I was aware of was that I was encircled by a pair of strong arms. Axel has holding me to his chest. His arms felt like walls keeping me safe from the rest of the world. It felt right, I didn't want him to let go. Even if this feeling of safety was fake, I didn't care.

Axel's POV

My mind was reeling. What had I just seen? Whatever it was had seemed way to vivid to be a dream. The girl had looked like Larxene's description of Namine, so she must have been one of the seven. And the man had definitely been Marluxia. But why had Namine been dreaming about it? How the hell had I ended up seeing it? And most importantly why did I suddenly want to tear Marluxia to pieces? I knew that if I staid in the room I would lose it I had to leave. I pushed her away, trying to ignore her look of confusion and hurt. I turned on my heel and rushed out of the room. I shut the door and slipped down learning against it. My breathing was heavy like I had just run several miles. What the fuck was happening to me? What was that girl doing to me? I got up and walked down the hall I needed some fresh air and maybe a cold shower.

Namine POV

I stood staring at the door wondering why he had left so quickly. Maybe he was just holding me to get to wake me up and get out… Wait a second, how had he ended up in my mind? That had never happened before. Then again no one had ever tried to wake me up during a "SEEING nightmare", as I had dubbed them, before. Whatever had happened Axel was gone, anger suddenly washed over me. That ass didn't even have the decency to say why he was leaving he could stay out there for all I cared.

An hour or two had passed since Axel had left. I had spent them brooding and drawing. I was snapped out of my thoughts when there was a click, like a key in a lock. The door swung open.

"What do you want Ax…" I looked up and froze the person had pink hair not red. Oh FUCK.

Axel POV

I had been wondering down the halls of Castle Oblivion for a while. I still hadn't decided what to do. This much I did know being around Namine was confusing. Odd sensations reverberated from the hollow area my heart should be. It felt…right to be around her. And it was making me uneasy. It had been so simple when I hadn't had a care in the world. 'What has the little "Memory Witch" done to me?'

Namine POV

Marluxia swaggered toward me. His smirk sent chills down my spine. I couldn't help comparing Axel's arrogant and amused smirk with this man's perverted leer.

"Hi Namine it's been a while." He said. He was exuding lust. 'Shit, Axel where are you?' He was only a couple feet from me. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I had a feeling that those drawings I did of Axel while he was asleep would come in handy. 'Here goes nothing.'

Axel POV

An odd feeling passed over me. I felt as if I was sharing my body with another being. Then, like last night, everything went black. Once again I found my self in the white room watching Marluxia pin a girl up against the wall. Only this time the girl was dark haired and wore a black dress not a white one, the only this about Namine that was off was the fact that her eyes were black.

"Help." Her voice rang through my head, as Marluxia grabbed a hold of her chin forcing her to look at him.

"What do you say we have a little fun?" He asked caressing her cheek. She pulled away.

"Don't touch me." She snapped. Marluxia laughed.

"Feisty, I like that. Who knows maybe you'll be more fun then the others." He grabbed a hold of one of her wrists pulling her into a kiss. I felt numb, this wasn't happening. But what about her voice calling for help? I was shocked when she pulled back her free arm and punched him in the stomach, hard. Marluxia yelped in surprise and pain.

"I told you not to touch me." She snarled. He threw her against the wall. I felt a trickle of panic when I saw him take a knife from the inside of his uniform.

"You're going to regret that. I'll make sure this is painful." The picture began to fade slightly. I could see the halls of Castle Oblivion. I hurredly opened a portal and dashed through landing outside her door, which was a jar. I reached it just as he slashed her across the face. As crimson drops rained upon the wall behind her my vision went red.

Namine POV

I felt the knife slice through my face. The next thing I knew was that a burning shadow had thrown Marluxia clear across the room. 'Axel.' He stood in front of him. He was holding his two flaming chakram.

"What do you think your doing?" Marluxia growled from his place on the ground.

Axel POV

"I think the correct question would be what are you doing here Marluxia?" I could barely contain my want to tear him to pieces. He looked at me in shock. Then a look of comprehension spread across his face and he laughed.

"You love that little witch. This is priceless the fire dancer is in love." He sneered. I balked, just as he said that I had realized two things: one that I did feel something towards the girl standing behind me and two there was no I was letting Marluxia touch her.

"How cute, you should have seen how the others writhed beneath me. I'm sure you would have enjoy hearing there screams. I bet that whore of yours would have been an interesting ride." He sniggered at me, his eyes roving Namine's body behind me. I lost it, the chakrams left my hands before it even registered that I was moving. They cut into Marluxia as his leered turned into a look of pure shock. Blood began to pour from the wounds on his body.

"You should have run for it when I showed up," I said my tone flat even to my own ears. "Because your death warrant was signed the second your blade touched her." I snapped my fingers causing flames to cover his body like fiery tongues.

"Y..you b..bastard." He managed to choke out before fading into nothingness. I raised my arms calling back my weapons. As they touched my hands they disappeared along with my flames and any sign Marluxia had ever come into this room. I turned to see Namine leaning against the wall, she was shaking. For the first time I was able to see completely behind her mask of aloofness. What I saw was a relieved and shaken sixteen year old who had narrowly escaped being violently assaulted. She looked into my eyes and her knees buckled beneath her.

Nobodies can bleed in this story. Wow that took a while to write thanks for reading. Review, please?
