After class Roxas informed Axel they had free block this period. "Free block is like another lunch or a longer break. The kids in lower classes get study hall but since we're in higher classes and we're both seniors we get free block,"

"That makes sense, but why are we going to the top floor?" Axel asked walking up the fifth and final stair case of the school up to the very abandoned floor that no one went to,

"I like to come up here and get away from everyone and everything. No one comes up here since on the fourth floor is where the schools lounge is."

"Oh."

Roxas led Axel all the way down the long old hallway and held open and old door that looked like it was about to snap off its hinges any minute. Inside the door was a short hall way and another staircase, which confused the redhead. "I thought there were only five floors?"

"It appears that way, but there's a hidden sixth floor. I found it my second day of school while hiding from people.

"This is creepy in an exciting kind of way." Axel said with a small laugh as he climbed the stone steps, "it looks as though no one has come here in decades,"

"Well this school was built back in the 1700's it used to be a house and then it was turned into a school. So I would assume this is a secret staircase that the principal doesn't even know about. This floor hasn't even seen human life other than me and my brothers plus Zexion of course since the people that lived here died. In fact, the parents of the children didn't even know this stair case existed. They had ten children living here. The parents rarely came up here."

"How do you know all of this? I'm starting to believe you were one of the children you know freakishly too much about this house or school rather."

Roxas smiled but didn't answer him instead he opened the final door to reveal six teens sitting down. "Did you guys tell them the history?" Roxas asked his older brother. The three teens smiled and nodded. "Did they get freaked out?"

"Oh yeah."

"Major freaked."

"Big time."

The three teens answered with a sinister smile.

"Did they say they're starting to believe you were one of the kids who lived here?"

"Yup."

"Where would be the fun if he didn't?"

"Of course he did."

Roxas laughed. Axel and his band mates got scared and nervous. They started towards the door.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You don't know your way around you'll get lost oh and Axel I think I forgot to tell you, they say the children and their parents' ghost still haunt this very floor, this very room trying to avenge their murders."

"M... murders?"

"Oh yeah that's another thing I forgot to tell you. The parents of the children were murdered here and the children were killed too, one managed to escape, but only for a few minutes. He was found in this room and killed. I wouldn't run off alone, at least not until you know your way around."

"A… are you… ghosts?" Demyx asked. "Are you going to kill us?" Zexion seemed to falter at seeing the blonde boy start to cry,

"C… can you just tell me what's going on here Roxy?"

Roxas laughed at the scared tone in Axel's voice. "Calm down Ax. I didn't mean to scare ya. No we're not ghosts, I know all of this because I found that kids journal up here. It was covered in blood but it was dry and the journal was neat looking so I started to read it when I showed it to Cloud he said we should leave it here so we wouldn't disturb their ghosts, if they really are ghosts."

"So you just wanted to scare us?"

"Pretty much I'm sorry Dem; I didn't mean to make you cry." Roxas sounded sincere, he really was sorry.

"It's okay." Demyx smiled brightly, wiping the tears that he had shed a moment ago.

"So, do they know who murdered the family?"

"No, unfortunately. He had gotten away before the police caught him."

"That's awful."

"Yea."

"So what do you guys usually do up here?" Axel asked looking around a rather large room for a room that was hidden.

"Well, we usually just sit here listen to music read or write, or do homework." Roxas answered with a small smile.

"Well, how about we just talk?" Cloud asked,

"Sounds good to me." Everyone answered.

"So, Axel, how are your classes so far?"

"So far the teachers are scary."

"Had Mr. Even huh?"

"Yea… how did you…"

"Vexen is a really mean teacher but once he's outside the classroom he's pretty nice. He's a family friend of our parents, in fact he's related to our mom." Cloud answered.

"Really?" Axel asked surprised.

"Yea, he's her brother." Sora said with a smile.

"What's your mom like?" Leon asked Cloud.

"Oh she's beautiful. She's kind and loving, she has a beautiful voice and she can sing wonderfully, she sometimes sings us to sleep still, mostly me and Sora though, Cloud says he's too old. Her cooking is to die for and she can do anything she sets her mind to. She's really smart. She's a teacher too, she teaches English. She's not here today though," Roxas seemed to really love his mother and something about that last sentence darkened Roxas' face.

"Is she sick?"

"No, she left home a few days ago. All of her stuff is gone. We don't know if she's ever coming home." Sora said sadly.

Roxas and Sora looked as if they were about to cry. Axel pulled Roxas onto his lap and hugged him as Riku did the same with Sora. They stayed like that for the rest of the time they were in there. When the bell rang Axel asked Riku what class he had.

"Uh… whatever Sora has…"

"You have the same class as him? Cool."

"I share all my classes with him."

"Cool, me and Roxy do too."

Roxas and Sora were talking when the door slammed shut and the lights went out.

Everyone in the room started to scream.

"Heeelllppp meeeeee" a voice said, it sounded far away and thin.

"Who… who said that?" Roxas asked grabbing his twins hand tightly. Sora gave his hand a light squeeze as if to say 'don't worry I'm here.'

"Help me."

"Tell us who you are so we can help." Cloud said, taking charge of the situation.

"My journal…. Read it… help us."

"Journal..? Is it possible..?"

"No, it can't be..."

"But…"

"Help."

The lights were turned back on and on the wall was red lettering that read 'help'

"What's going on?"

"That's never happened before Cloud."

"I know..."

"Can… can we just go before it happens again?"

"Yeah, let's go."

The eight teens walked out of the room and rushed to class. When Axel, Roxas, Sora, and

Riku arrived to class, literally, the moment their butts hit their chairs the bell rang. The teacher shot them an evil glare.

"You were lucky." Was all the blonde teacher said as he went to the board and wrote their assignment on the board. "Now, you will work in a group of four and you have to choose something about the history of this school, as many of you know it's been around a while. No one knows who lived here but it used to be a house. I'm too tired to teach you little fuckers so entertain me. It's due in three weeks." The teacher walked to his desk and sat down, placing his feet on the desk.

"What the…"

"Don't ask." Roxas and Sora said getting out a notebook and pen.

"So do you two wanna work with us?" Roxas asked, looking at Axel hopeful.

"Of course."

"Good, so what should we do our report on?"

Before any of them got a chance to brainstorm ideas the blonde teacher jumped up.

"OH! And you have to act it out too."

Roxas rolled his eyes at the teachers behavior and turned back to face Sora and Axel.

"How about we use the journal as something? But something before the murders." Axel suggested.

"That could work, but we have to research in the library too. They have newspapers and journal things in there."

"Okay, but are you sure you want to do that? I mean, considering what happened in the room earlier?"

"Yeah. It's fine. Right?"

"Yeah."
The rest of class Roxas explained to Riku and Axel what was in the journal more in depth than in the room. From the day they moved in to that day they were murdered. When the bell rang the four teens walked to gym.

"Hey Roxy, hey Sora." Sora and Roxas turned to look at the man who called their names.

"Uncle Ven!" Roxas ran up the rather young looking blonde and hugged him, Sora followed suit and hugged their 'uncle'.

"Who are these young men?"

"These are our friends, Axel and Riku." Sora said letting go of his uncle.

"Uncle Ven, why are you here?"

"I'm the new gym teacher; your old one had a rather… unfortunate accident. He's fine but he resigned from this school. He said it was… haunted. Well anyway boys, I have to go. I've got a class to teach. I hope to see you later." With that Ven walked away.

Axel looked at Roxas, "That was your uncle?"

"You seem surprised, I did show you a picture, you knew his face."

"Yeah. But the way he looks just like you is creepy! He looks so young!"

"Well, he is only a few years older than Sora and I, he's only 28. My parents were young and had Cloud out of wedlock."

"So they had you when they were… 19?"

"My mom was 19 my dad was 20."

"That's weird."

The rest of the walk to the gym was in silence. Once in there they walked into the actual gym and waited for further instructions. When Ventus walked out to the gym he introduced himself and said they'd be playing dodge ball. "So get changed and hurry up!"

The gym class went by rather fast, much to Roxas' appreciation. Actually the whole school day went by fast, it didn't surprise him that no one wanted to go back to the room during lunch, they all agreed to go there tomorrow though. When the final bell rang Axel looked at Roxas and noticed he looked distance. "Hey Rox, what's up?"

"Hmm? Oh Axel. You scared me, nothing's wrong." Roxas lied, he just couldn't shake the feeling something was off. He felt something bad was going to happen. He tried to shake it off but it didn't work. "How are you getting home?" Roxas asked walking out of the school to the waiting area of the schools parking lot.

"I actually don't know." Just as he finished his sentence a limo pulled into the parking lot and everyone stared at it. "No he didn't. No, no, no!" Axel turned and saw Leon Demyx and Riku in just as much shock as he was. The limo stopped in front of Axel and Axel sighed, the window was rolled down and none other than Frank was sitting in the front.

"Kyle" their manager, "wanted me to pick you up. He said Roxas and them can come too."

"Roxy do you want to come with us?"

Roxas looked at Cloud who shrugged and nodded. Zexion and Sora seemed to agree too so Roxas said, "Sure, why not."

Axel allowed everyone to go in front of him and Roxas, when he was sure everyone was looking he grabbed Roxas' hand with a smile, kissed his cheek and let him get in the limo before him. Roxas couldn't believe it, this was the first time someone hadn't yelled 'fag' at him before he left the school grounds.

XoXo

Don't worry I am not derailing from the story, this will have more to do with the story as the chapters go on so if it doesn't make sense or you don't like it it's okay to tell me but just don't stop reading okay? I got as lot of feedback from my friends for this chapter and they liked it so I figured to leave it instead of start a new story.

Thanks everyone

Yours truly,

Alexis.

Axel: even I got scared, I thought Roxas was like a ghost or something and wanted to kill me. I never get scared.

Roxas: sure you don't.

Axel: hey!

Roxas: sorry love but it's true.

Axel: damn brat,

Alexis: hey, hey, hey, watch the language! There may be a child reading this!

Axel: sorry kiddies.

Yeahhhh, he's saying sorry but he's pouting and has his arms crossed while standing in a corner.

Riku: I thought Zexion and Roxas were the emo ones Ax?

Axel: shut up Riku *Mad face -.-*
