Chapter 2: Roxi's Past and Haunting Nightmares
Roxi quickly reached for her sword as she heard a faint voice in her head.
"Mommy! No! Don't die!" A little girl with long brown hair cried as a large figure stabbed a woman that looked like Roxi but with blonde hair.
"Roxi…don't forget who you are." The woman said as she smiled.
Roxi heard a voice calling her. "Roxi! Move!" A male voice said as someone grabbed her around the waist and landed near Amy and Nikki.
Roxi blinked as her eyes went to normal and she looked at the man. "D-Drack…sorry." Roxi whispered as she dropped her sword.
"Roxi are you alright?" Amy asked her and they saw blood on her along with her sword and looked at Whitebeard to see him holding his side.
"She stabbed him…"Shachi whispered.
Roxi got up and ran into the forest with Drack following her.
"She's still suffering from the nightmares isn't she…?" Marco asked Amy as she nodded.
"Yes…it gets worse every year…"Amy said to him as they helped Whitebeard to the Moby Dick.
Nikki looked at the Heart pirates. "I'll explain…lets head to the Inn alright…"Nikki said to them and they followed her.
Drack found Roxi in front of a waterfall with her knees to her chest. "It brought back memories didn't…Captain." Drack said to her as he sat next to her.
"Yes…of my mother dying in front of me…I don't think they will end until I kill the one that killed her." Roxi said softly as a few tears went down her face.
"I know what will make you feel better Capt." Drack said to her and looked at her.
Roxi blinked and looked at him with a confused look.
Daemon Inn
"When Roxi was 6, she lived on an island in the New World with her mother while her father sailed the seas and Marco would come every year on her birthday bringing her presents from the crew until her 6th birthday, Marco was running late." Nikki said softly to the Heart pirates as they sat in the library of the Inn.
"A person from her father's crew came while Roxi was picking herbs for her mother until she heard a crash…she watched as her mother died in front of her causing her to use her powers at an early age…thing is the village they lived in hated Roxi and her mother."A woman's voice said to them and they saw a woman with brown hair and blonde highlights walk into the room with Marco and Amy.
"Rima…Roxi told me not to tell them about your family history." Nikki said to them.
"I know…I will let Roxi tell her friend or should I say friends." Rima said as she sat on the couch.
"Mrs. Rima…would you please explain what you and your family really is to us?" Law said curtly to her.
Rima smirked.
"Now where would the fun in telling you the World Governments darkest secret…you're a smart man Law but I will give you hints…look for anything about the history…that you can find…and if you ever met Silvers Rayliegh ask him, he might tell you if you are really determined to find out." Rima said to him smirking more.
Law narrowed his eyes at her. "I don't like being ordered around."Law said to her dangerously.
"I know it wasn't an order Law anyway I got to run to the clinic." Rima said to them as she got up and they heard a loud roar and the ground shake causing the windows to crack. "By the way Drack helped Roxi calm down."
Amy and Nikki looked at each other as they ran towards the stairs.
Later that night in Roxi's room, Roxi tossed and turned in her sleep as sweat dripped down her face and her swords shook a bit.
A young Roxi ran into the garden holding a big basket and wearing a little sundress with strange designs on them.
"I wonder what daddy got me this time I hope it's a puppy." Roxi said as she started to pick herbs.
The village was quiet as a few people walked by the garden and glared at little Roxi making her unease.
Suddenly Roxi heard a scream from her house and she dropped the basket and ran home.
Roxi ran into her house and tears formed in her deep green eyes.
"No! Don't! Please don't hurt my mommy!" Roxi cried as she saw the figure raise a sword and stabbed Chloe.
"I wonder…are you as strong as your mother was, little one?" The figure asked her as a mark on her back glowed red and the ground shook.
"Stay away!" Roxi screamed as a tremor bubble appeared around her and shattered causing the house to crumble and a barrier surrounded Chloe and Roxi smelled fire and saw the village people in front of her house.
"That's one monster down…quick kill the child before she summons her powers!" The chief said to the village people and they cheered.
Roxi held her head and screamed louder as the ground quaked and her eyes glowed silver with a hint of amber.
"Silver…eyes…with Amber…sir it can't be…" A woman said softly.
"Quick someone call the marines!" a man cried as Roxi grabbed a sword from the ground while strange markings appeared on her small body.
"Leave me alone!" Roxi roared as she ran at the people.
An hour later Rayleigh walked off his little boat and dropped his bag. "Shit…I was too late." Rayleigh said as he ran towards the forest. "Please let them still be alive!"
Rayleigh saw the entire village covered in blood and a small trail leading towards Chloe and Roxi's home only to see it gone and a small body against a tree with a pair of black blade duel swords next to her.
"Oh god…Roxi!" Rayleigh ran over to her and gently touched her hand making her twitch.
"Come on kid…please wake up." Rayleigh sighed in relief as she groaned and looked around.
"Uncle Ray-san…m-mommy…she's gone." Roxi said softly as he saw the markings slowly fade into her skin and she fainted as he heard flapping wings and saw Marco land and dropped a huge bag.
"Ray-san what happened…where's Roxi and Chloe…" Marco asked confused and shocked.
"I think Chloe is over there Marco…I don't know what happened." Rayleigh said as he picked up Roxi's small form.
Marco saw Chloe's body and ran over to her trying to force back tears. "Why her…why." Marco said softly as he picked up her body and carried her deep into the forest.
Later Marco walked back to Rayleigh and Roxi.
"I heard Chloe's voice telling me…to protect her daughter." Marco said to him as he watched Roxi sleep peacefully. "Rayleigh, I think Roxi's powers awakened when she saw something kill her mother but what killed everyone leaving only Roxi."
"I don't know for sure but I'm going to find some answers, I need to know what Chloe meant about her not being human." Rayleigh said to him.
Roxi woke up with a scream and held her head in pain as the door was kicked down and Bepo ran inside with Law and the other Heart pirates running in.
"Roxi are you alright?" Bepo asked her in a scared and worried voice.
"Y-yeah." Roxi said softly as Drack ran into the room and sighed.
"Another nightmare Roxi?" Drack asked her as he wore his black boxers and no shirt.
Roxi looked at them and blushed softly as she looked at Law seeing him wearing black boxers with his jolly roger on the side and a yellow tank top.
"Y-yeah…um…B-Bepo, can I stay with you tonight?" Roxi asked him as Shachi and Penguin stared at her then at Bepo in shock.
"S-sure Roxi but I'm sharing a room with Law." Bepo said to her.
"It's fine bring your stuff " Law said to her as he softly smirked as he walked out of the room. "Hope you don't mind Bepo snoring." Law turned around and saw her get out of bed with dark blue short shorts on and a black tank top showing some cleavage.
Drack sweat dropped as the two heart pirates had a nosebleed.
"I don't mind…" Roxi said as she grabbed her bag and followed Bepo out of the room.
Damn you Captain! Always getting the girl! Shachi and Penguin cried in their minds as they held their noses and slaked to their room.
Roxi walked into Bepo and Law's room and saw two beds, a huge window and a nice size bathroom.
Law walked over to his bed and lay down as Bepo sat on the floor and lay down near the other bed.
"You can take the bed Roxi." Bepo said to her and felt her rub his ears not noticing Law watching them.
"Thank you Bepo you're a sweet bear." Roxi said as he closed his eyes and softly blushed.
Law smirked as he watched Roxi climb into her bed and lay down.
"Good Night Miss Roxi." Law said to her and he saw her flip him off.
"Night Law-kun" Roxi said to him causing his smirk to widen.
You're the most interesting person on this island…can't wait to see your powers. Law thought to himself while chuckling and falling to sleep.
