Chapter Seven: Reading Painbow

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Kingdom Hearts, nor am I associated with anyone who does.

Now, this chapter contains… "mature" topics. Just a tiny caution. I hope you enjoy this chapter! :D

This library was unlike anything Axel had ever seen. He barely went to them, though, so maybe it was normal? He checked to make sure Demyx was to his side, but he was already ahead of him.

"Hey, wait up!" He whispered before making his way over to Demyx. Demyx turned around to Axel with a finger to his lips. They stood there in silence when they suddenly heard a faint scream. The two jumped and looked at each other.

"It doesn't sound too far away. Stay close to me. It would be best if neither of us got lost." Demyx said in a low voice. Axel nodded his head and followed his friend. The library was a maze of book shelves. Right when you think you're getting somewhere, it was a dead end. They had no time to get frustrated, and maneuvered their way around the maze. Axel and Demyx came across yet another dead end. But this one was different. Axel looked at Demyx to make sure he saw what he saw, and telling by the look on the other's face, he was sure he wasn't imagining things. There stood Zexion, face wet with tears. Demyx ran to him, but when he reached the boy he felt nothing. He looked back and saw that it wasn't actually Zexion, but a telegraph! Zexion opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could another man walked into the picture. He was much taller and more built. He had blonde hair that was more on the lighter side, and had a very unfriendly look on his face.

"I see your little friends found you. Mind introducing us, love?" The man asked, as he put his hand on Zexion's shoulder. The boy shivered under his touch, but said nothing.

"I'm his boyfriend, and I want to know what you've done with him!" Demyx yelled. The man whistled. Axel crossed his arms over his chest and rolled his eyes.

"Nothing serious. I mean, he's still alive isn't he?" The man said with a chuckle. Demyx brought his eyes back to Zexion. He was staring back at him with sad, tired eyes.

"Zexion, did he hurt you?" Axel asked. Zexion looked at him and said nothing, but he could tell he wanted to say something. Demyx and Axel exchanged looks.

"We're going to find you, and when we do you'll be sorry." Demyx murmured, but it was loud enough to hear. The man laughed.

"I'm shaking in my boots. See you then!" He said, and the telegraph switched off. Axel looked at Demyx and saw he really was shaking.

"Demyx, you have to calm down man." Axel cooed. But Demyx wasn't having it. He shook his head.

"He has Zexion hostage, and from the looks of it he's been treating him wrong. We need to find him NOW." Demyx said sharply. Axel let out a sigh.

"Well, what are we waiting for? We don't have any time to lose." And with that, the two went back to venturing the maze.

Cliff hanger! I wonder what's going to happen to Zexion. Hmmm… Anyway, I really hoped you all enjoyed this chapter of Camping Trip. Also, I didn't know if the correct term was telegram or telegraph, so if I made a mistake just know I'm aware of it. Until next time! xx
