Here's a special chapter for y'all. Or it's unusual at least. I hate cheese. Random time is over.


Xeiria's Pov


Anger and hatred.

That's all I feel now. I can't be happy, I can't smile, and I can't even stand stepping into Twilight Town anymore.

Each time I think of this I feel a burning sensation in my chest. How can I? I don't have a heart.

I keep my eyes locked on the mirror, my reflection. It's the same me : Auburn haired, pale skinned, skinny me. There's nothing special about me in the least. If you don't count the part that I don't have a heart and that I don't remember any before last year. I'm special in a bad way, you could say. I narrow my eyes and run my fingers down my arm. Where did the feeling go? It felt different when he touched me. I felt accepted. Wanted. Loved. But comes a time when love is taken away from me and I'm left unprotected and angry. They took him away. They took away my feeling.

I stop moping over myself and walked out to get my mission, which Saix tells me is in Twilight Town. He wants to torture me apparently.

But the moment I step out of the dark corridor and into Twilight Town I know something here is different. I can't summon my arrows, and when I try to open a dark corridor again it doesn't activate.

"I guess I'm stuck," I whisper, talking to myself. "Maybe Axel'll come and get me once he notices I'm gone…" I shrug to myself and sit down on one of the benches, waiting for him to come. Axel's the one who gives a damn about me. He sees that all I do is sit in my room with my legs crossed and my head resting in my hands and he pulls me to Twilight Town. We never talk, I think he just wants to get me out of the castle besides going on a mission because he knows I'm sad inside. He usually pays for ice cream and gives it to me and we sit on the clock tower. I never thought about doing that until he started bringing me up there. I don't even know why he cares about me. I mean, he doesn't have feelings, does he? Maybe it was because I was the only other friend that Roxas had.

Once I realize he's not coming, I start walking around Twilight Town. I know the town's not abandoned, but sometimes it seems like it is. I never see anybody here except those kids…and as soon as the thought comes into my head I see them. The boy wearing camouflage and the boy with spikey brown hair that never lays down. Then there was the one girl with light brown hair in ponytails. Then there's the fourth one. And I realize it's Roxas. I'm not sure if it's happiness that grows inside me or hatred. Or a mixture of both.

I walk over and tap on his shoulder. He turns around and gives me a confused look. I smile, then frown.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

He tilted his head. "Do I know you?"

I laugh. "You're funny. I worry about you for so long and you go off and jock like that? Come on Roxas."

Roxas shrugged. "I don't know you. I'm sorry. Maybe we go to school together?"

I shake my head. "No, we're in the organization together. And if they find out that you're here they're going to kill you."

"I don't know you!" he screams. Then he motions to the other three. "She's crazy. Let's go to the sandlot," then all four of them walk away from me. I stand there, dumbstruck and hurt. I clench my hands into fists but then I just sit down where I was standing and buried my head into my knees. I didn't cry of course, I'm a nobody. I can't cry if I wanted to. I start to stand up after a few moments and I walk to the tram common. If I'm going to be here for a while then I'm going to need something different to wear. I don't want to be going around in a black coat that would make me die from heat. And besides, I've gathered enough knowledge about this town to know that people are going to think you're strange if you're walking around in a long black coat. Well, Roxas is probably going to spread the word that I'm crazy around town. Or that girl. She just seems to be the type that would talk about you if she was bored.

Once I get to a clothing shop I know that I need munny to buy things. I walk into a dressing room and undress out of my coat and black clothing and rub my arms. I'm going to have to get used to wearing thin clothes. I've already picked out some clothes and I slip them onto my body, then inspect myself in the mirror. The shirt is black and white and there's nothing more than spaghetti straps as sleeves. The leggings are striped black and white and end at my knees, and the skirt that comes with them comes to the middle of my theighs and is black with a small belt attached. The shoes are just basic black shoes. I keep on my necklace that I had been found in, around the time of my birth. It's a small silver key that hangs off a silver chain and is still pure silver, even after being worn so often.

When I walk out of the dressing room I take the munny I have out of my coat pocket and place it on the counter, hoping it will be enough, but there's no one at the register so I could just get away with it. I walk out of the shop and into the warm sun. It's nice, not to hot, not to cold. Where am I going to sleep tonight? I could sleep on the clock tower, but what if it rains? As unlikely as it could be, it still could. Or I could ask some of those kids if I could stay at one of their houses with them, just for one night until I can get the portal open again. When I walk to the sandlot I find them, but as soon as I see Roxas I keep my head down because I've started to hate myself because I just started to blare everything out about the organization and he doesn't even remember.

As soon as I walk past, I hear a "Hey kid!" and I turn around and see Roxas running toward me. He stops right in front of me and rubs the back of his head nervously.

"I'm really sorry about earlier," he starts. "I just didn't know who you were and I think you may have had me confused with some one else. But that's okay. You're new, aren't you?"

I nod. "Yes, I don't have a place to stay. I just woke up here and I don't really know what's happening," Yes, it's a lie. I know where I am and I do have a home and I'm perfectly fine. But I can play this part until Roxas remembers or he's told by someone else. I stick out a hand and smile slightly. "My name is Xeiria. Who are you?"

Roxas smiles back, only more brighter. "My name is Roxas. It's nice to meet you," he points to the children behind him. "That's Hayner, Pence, and Olette," he says it in order, pointing to the boy in camouflage who is Hayner, the boy who's fat and has brown hair who's Pence, and the girl with braids named Olette.

I wave shyly. "Nice to meet you all. I'm sorry if I scared you earlier."

"So, why don't you stay at my house tonight?" Roxas asks, then Hayner eyes him and he turns red. "I just feel bad for you is all. I mean, you don't know where you are and you're really confused. I want to help."

"Okay…" I say, using my little girl voice. "Thank you."

"No problem," he says smiling. He looked up. "In fact, it's probably getting late. I should get home. You wanna come now?"

I nod again. "Alright, lead the way," and he does for me. I follow him to the Station Heights and he opens the door to one house and I walk in. It's a small house, with a kitchen in the corner that only had one counter, a sink, and a refrigerator. The living room was off to the side, and down the hall was a bathroom and two bedrooms. One was Roxas's and the other was a guest bedroom. As he explains it to me, his says his parents are usually on business trips and don't come home much. It makes me feel sorry for him, but somehow I know this is a fake and his parents aren't real, which makes me feel twice as sorry. So instead of his parents actually having a bedroom he made it into a guest bedroom.

"I sleep in the guest bedroom?" I ask, just making sure he wasn't going to make me sleep in his room and him sleep in the guest room.

He nods and points to the clock. "I'm going to bed, but you don't have to, of course, just makes sure you're not barely music or anything," he says it like a joke, so I smile.

"Good night," I say and I wave. Roxas waves back a disappears down the hallway into the room.

I am tired, so I just go into the guest room and open the dresser. Roxas's mom must be very skinny, because I can fit into her night gown perfectly. I fold my clothes neatly on the table next to the bed and turn out the light. I crawl into the bed and stare out the window. It's dim outside, but I'm able to fall asleep in less then five minutes, it seems.

When I wake up I'm being called in a distance and I open my eyes and find Roxas pinning my wrists to the bed. My breathing is labored, like I just got done running a marathon. When he sees my eyes open he releases my wrists and let's me sit up.

"What happened?" I ask wiping my hand across my forehead.

"You were screaming in your sleep," he says. "I just got worried. You okay?"

I nod. "Fine. I think it was just a nightmare." Oh great, so now I've woken up Roxas with my nightmares. I'm a terrible guest. "I'm so sorry," I bow my head. "I'll see if I can get my own place tomorrow…"

"No, don't bother to do that," Roxas insists. "It's not worth it. The prices these days are really high. I don't mind. I was awake anyway," he rubs his head again. "I had a nightmare of my own,"


I. Need. To. Stop. Before I go overboard with this chapter. If I don't stop here, I'm going to end up making this chapter two long…so there you go for today. I'll most likely write tomorrow.
