I hope this chapter's good. Sorry that it took so long to get out. I've been busy.

Enjoy!

When I woke up the next day, a small square of sunlight was against the door. I got up and walked across the room, placing my hand in it. It was warm. My hand fell from it and hung limp. I sighed and walked over to the pictures that hung over the wall by my bed. I tapped Sora's picture, making it flutter a bit. I did the same with Namine's. I took a step back and watched them.

Namine's picture waved at me, her smile widening a bit. Sora closed his eyes as his grin widened even more, tipping his head to one side. The picture of Olette waved to me as well. Pence laughed good-naturedly. Hayner simply grinned, showing a thumbs-up. I'd already forgiven him, it wasn't his fault...I suppose...?

As I thought that, Hayner's smile drooped and he looked at me in disbelief and shock. 'You think I really wanted you here?'

I chuckled at him. His smile returned and Olette laughed. Her hand seemed to reach out of the picture to wave at Sora and Namine. They both waved back, exchanging words I couldn't hear.

I smiled at them all, chatting away in their frames, and then jumped two feet in the air when the door opened. Riku walked in. "You're getting a new room." He said.

I blinked. "Really? So soon?"

"Yeah, and a roommate. Heard about that one guy with the spiked red hair?"

"That pyromaniac?" I cried.

I'd heard about this guy before.

Creep.

"Guess so." Riku replied. "Take what you want."

I turned and pulled the pictures from the wall. "Follow me, then." He said and turned, walking out of the room.

I froze. "Um….out in the hallway?" I asked.

"How else are you going to get to your room? Teleporting?" Riku demanded, looking at me.

I sighed, and shuffled along after him. The ankle that had been tied to the noose attached to the cinder-block hurt like hell. I limped along after him as he led me down the hallway. I glanced in some windows, seeing many other people. There was a girl with scarlet-ish hair that was tied down on the bed like I'd been a couple months before. I hastily looked away as her head slowly turned towards me.

Even if she couldn't see me through the glass.

It felt like she could see me.

I followed as close as I could behind Riku, limping along.

We came to a door, and Riku unlocked it with a swipe of his card. When we walked in, I noticed that the coloring in here was different. There were two desks, both white, and bunk beds on the left wall. The room was also a bit warmer than the rest of the building, which is almost freezing all the time, and I felt a bit better in here. "You get the top bunk." Riku said.

"Okay." I mumbled, climbing the ladder and tacking my pictures up on the wall next to my bed.

They all looked around the room, then gave me thumbs-ups that they approved of the relocation. I let a small smile form on my lips.

"You gonna be alright here? I heard that your room-mate is almost off the deep-end." Riku concerned with me.

"I think I'll be alright." I reply, not looking at him.

"He'll probably come in later so don't get too comfortable with just you here." Riku said, then walked out.

I sighed, and laid back on my bed, hands behind my head, watching the pictures I'd hung up chatting to each other. I sighed again, and closed my eyes.

"Roxas!" A female voice said.

I sat bolt upright, thankfully the ceiling was really high or I would've cracked my head on it, looking around. The room was empty. I blinked then lay back down. I waited a moment, then closed my eyes again. "Roxas! Don't go to sleep!"

I sat up again, the voice sounded a bit like... "Olette?" I whispered, looking around the deserted room again.

"Behind you!" I heard a guy's voice.

I whipped my head around to see my picture of Olette waving her hands at me, Sora was imitating her. "Sora, Olette, what-" I began but was shushed by the picture of Namine.

She'd stood up from her chair and had moved forward until only her head and shoulders were seen. "Roxas, stay calm okay?" She said rather quickly. "A- I mean- Your roommate will be here soon. We never wanted to leave you Roxas. None of us."

"What do you mean none- wait- does that mean-?" I started, my eyes widening.

I got up onto my knees and moved closer to them. "Roxas, listen closely!" Olette cut in. "We're able to speak to you through these portraits that you drew of us! You'll find a ring, and a necklace. When you put them on, you'll be able to talk to us!"

Pence continued for her. "When you wear them, you'll be able to see us as well. Roxas...technically...we're all gone. But we couldn't leave you. So this is what we can do. We just...oh, Roxas."

I felt sick.

"Roxas, what ever you do. You must not tell anyone that you can see us. You'll get the ring and necklace taken away for good!" Hayner spoke up.

"Please," I looked over at the picture of Sora. He seemed to have his hands pressed against some invisible glass that divided me from him. I quickly shuffled closer to his picture, shaking, and pressed by hands against the tiny picture as Sora looked straight into my eyes. "Roxas, you can't let that happen! You won't! I believe in you! We all do..."

Tears were sparkling in all of their eyes.

I felt like I was going to puke.

I slapped a hand to my mouth, my other arm wrapping around my stomach, as I retched.

This was insane!

How were pictures talking to me?

What the hell?

What the fucking hell!

I scrambled backwards. The tears from the others' eyes were flowing from the pictures towards me. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no," I mumbled from between my fingers, retching again.

The tears seemed to become silver ribbons, wrapping around my arms and tying them behind my back. The strands connected me to the pictures. "No!" I yelped, struggling in vain to free myself from the bonds I felt tightening around my arms.

I moved farther backwards. Suddenly, everyone in the pictures threw out their hands towards me. "Roxas!" They all cried, ringing loud and clear in my ears.

I felt myself slip backwards off the bed, and fall head-first with a crash onto the ground.

Everything went dark.

I dunno where that came from but I thought it was pretty darn good! I think I have the next chappie lined up. Well...about half of it, anyway. I was gonna have that half in this chapter, but this cliffhanger felt better.

Hope you like it!
