How to Train Your Keyblade
Welcome back to another Chapter… I hope you enjoy! ^^ also! This chapter has a lot of quotes from the movie, as in I've watched the movie and taken the words from the subtitles… I don't own any of them but I don't want to write them all out at the end.
Lesson 4: Can Dragons Are Jealous.
My eyes are wide as I'm looking at Hiccup and the tall man beside him, a smirk splayed across fairly thin lips and hands are stuffed in his pockets. He looks relaxed entirely until our eyes lock and shock takes over his body, shoulders going stiff and his eyes widening.
I'm not really aware that I'm moving until I'm only a few feet away and my arms reach out. He doesn't stop me as I wrap my arms around his torso and burry my face in the familiar coat I know so well. "Axel!" my voice cracks but I don't really care as he returns the hug. "Axel… I'm so glad you're here! Did you let your dark corridor close? Are you stuck here too Axel?" I pull my face out of his chest and look up just in time to see the soft expression leave his face and his smirk come back.
"Uh, yeah it's gone… but what do you mean 'stuck here'?"
"I cant conjure a dark corridor. And, and my Keyblade is a dragon! Look!" I point behind me at Winner and see he's slowly walking up with a bit of a glare, his pupils are small and thin and he looks like he's about to pounce.
"Yeah I know. I tried to tell you about this place once… but you cut me off. Ryo and Fyr should be coming along any minute. And as for the Dark corridors I can still summon them, see?" Axel holds his hand out and I watch as the black hole appears out of no where.
I spend a moment looking at it before looking down at my own hand, only one of my arms has left go of his waist. My hand looks normal, but I know if I try and conjure a dark corridor it wont work. I debate about running in there but decide against it, the stupid dreams I've been having about Axel have made me want to just stay here as long as he's with me.
"So… uh, you two know each other?" I spin around and see Hiccup and Astrid standing there. "Nice to see you again Axel." Astrid nods her head in acknowledgement of Axel being there.
"Yeah… this is the 'cute blonde back home' I told you 'bout? . " Axel wraps his arms around my shoulders and I heard Astrid giggle before bursting out into laughter.
"Oh god… this is the blonde you kept talking about? Number thirteen you called him, didn't you? Oh man… some of the stories Axel has…" Astrid trails off with laughter and I look up at Axel, being a head taller then me I can see the guilty expression on his face easily. What did he say about me?
"She's right… there are a few real good stories." Hiccup shrugs his shoulders with a slight smile that's more reassuring then laugh and I turn back to Axel.
"What's so funny that we've done? We don't do anything funny."
"Nah, you just don't think we did funny things Roxie." there's the nickname again, has he forgiven me for not turning back, for leaving and ignoring him in the dark corridor? An even better question: does he forgive me about that last night I was in the castle, when I kissed him? Has he forgiven me for everything?
I try and find the answer in his eyes but after only a few seconds of my stare he looks away and stands up slightly straighter as he looks passed all three of us and towards Winner.
"So… this is the Keyblade huh? Are you sure it's not the Oblivion Roxas? He's looking a little dark." I turn around and see that Winner is blackish purple again and his pupils are still just slits.
"Uh, yeah… his name's Winner." I look back at Axel and see the shocked expression before turning away again and heading over to Winner to calm him down from whatever's pissing him off now. I know that I'm blushing I just hope I can blame the heat.
For being a place that snows nine months of the year, and hales another three, I've seen nothing but gorgeous weather while here. Especially in the Cove, it just seems so peaceful here that I cant believe that I've actually been living here.
"Hey Winner, what's up?" he gives a low chirping sound as he walks around me and pushes me closer to the bounder I had been sitting against before Axel showed up.
"Protective little bastards, aren't they? Let me guess, you ride to fight, don't you?" I look at Axel as he walks over before Winner hisses and he stops. Axel plops down on his butt, not looking the slightest bit nervous about being so close to a dragon that doesn't like him.
"Uh… yeah. So, where are you Chakrams, Axel?" he shrugs his shoulders and leans back against one hand while the other rubs the back of his head through his hair. God I miss feeling how soft that hair is, but as Winner lowers himself on the ground in front of me and keeps his eyes trained on Axel I know that I'm not going to be able to feel that red hair any time soon.
"I'm not sure, they should be by any minute. What I really want to know is what happened to the clothes that I hid before I left last time. I know it was a tree somewhere, but I cant remember where the freaking tree is." he pauses for a long moment and I know that he wants to say something else, so I remain quiet. "So Roxas, how've you been doing here? You seem pretty relaxed and comfortable."
"Not in the slightest. Winner and I were doing some Dragon Training earlier today, and now I'm probably in deep shit with the entire island… but I'm sure I'll be fine, there's nothing that can keep me down." I give a smile and when I open my eyes I know that Axel knows it's fake so I let it drop.
It feels nice being around someone I know and trust, I can already feel myself relaxing slightly, even if Winner is between us and he looks a little distant.
"Axel, does the superior know about this world?" Axel shakes his head right away and I can see in his eyes that he doesn't want that to happen. "Alright then… um, I have to go apologize for having an overprotective dragon now." I get up with a sigh and watch as Winner jumps up and circles me a few times.
"Relax boy… god, he's not going to kill me." it's just not possible for Axel to hurt me, well… he can hurt me but he cant kill me, I'm sure I mean enough to him for that. Because I know he means that much to me.
"Are you sure about that Roxie?" I look over at him and see that he's hiding most of his face in shadows, just his bright green eyes glinting with the small amount of light from the sun that's being caught in them.
"Yes. If you were going to kill me, you wouldn't call me Roxie." it's an egotistic move I know, but he bursts into laughter and stand up. He walks over casually, skirting around Winner now ignoring the hissing and he bends down slightly in front of my face like he always does when he's going to tell me a secret.
My face is going red because the last time he was this close I kissed him, but I try not to show it. He reaches up and grabs my chin with his long delicate fingers and I have no choice but to look at his face, either his eyes or his lips, so I look into his eyes, trying to find the answers I still don't have and know he cant give.
"Don't be too sure of that Roxie… I am a man of impulse, not reason." before I can really think about what he's said he's standing up straight and heading for the opening to the Cove. "I'm gonna go find Ryo and Fyr. I'll meet you guys either back at Hiccups' house or here. Got it memorized?" I cant help but smile hearing that line coming from him, when I was dragon training with everyone they'd used it a lot with the information I needed to remember- all of it -and it just didn't sound the same coming from them.
Once Axel is gone I actually remember that Astrid and Hiccup are here and I turn to see then both smiling at me like I'm a puppy and I've just done something cute that makes people sigh. "So Roxas… I'm guessing he's the red head you've been talking about at night… the guy who haunts your dreams?" Hiccup is smiling more then Astrid but I can see that she's got a blush on her face that could probably rival my own.
"Uh… I wouldn't say 'haunt' more like, 'invades' really. And yeah, that's him." Hiccup nods his head and lets out a sigh as he walks over. I see him petting Winners head and he has an almost sad expression on his face.
"Well… we better get going Roxas, I'm sure my dad will get mad at us for leaving. But we'll get brownie points for coming back. Common." Hiccup motions for me to follow him to the opening of the Cove and I start following him.
Everyone in the Village is looking at us as we go, Hiccup is riding on Toothless because his leg is bothering him today and I'm walking beside Winner, being furthest to the left with my right hand on his shoulder as he walks.
I can hear a few people murmuring about how I'm going to be banished from Berk, or that I'm going to have to be locked up with Winner where we cant hurt anyone. There are so many theories jumping around the Village and I just know that one of them is obviously right.
We get to the great hall and there are Snotlout and his dragon, Fishlegs and his dragon, the twins and their dragon, and Astrid's Nadderhead. Stoick is standing there with a scowl on his face and I cant help but gulp as we walk into the great hall, his arms crossed over his chest and I can feel my nerves almost making me visibly shake.
"Roxas, Hiccup, Astrid… come here and have a seat." that, is what I've been dreading. I walk over and sit down where he motions me to and keep my teeth clenched so I don't say anything.
Being the thirteenth member of the Organization meant two things to me: 1, I'm the strongest and most valuable because I'm the only one who can actually collect hearts. 2, I'm the one who gets handed the grunt work and has to just bare whatever the others throw at me. I can make all the snide comments I want in my head, but out loud I have to bite my tongue and keep it that way.
"Roxas, I want an explanation right now as to why you and Winner attacked Snotlout." I look from Stoick to Snotlout and see the smirk, so he's told a different story. And of course because I haven't been here to tell my side of the story I'm stuck just getting the punishment.
I keep my mouth closed and just look at the grain of the tabletop in front of me. Stoick sighs and I hear Hiccup taking a breath to speak so I cut him off. "I have no explanation for why it happened. It just did."
"Well, do you have anything to say to Snotlout?" yeah, he needs a better name. I keep my mouth shut for a moment, pushing that harsh anger back down into the cage in my stomach where all my rage goes.
"No."
"No, what?"
"No sir. I have nothing to say to Snotlout." my jaw is still clenched and my eyes are fixed on the table in front of me still. I'm sure that if I actually unclench my jaw I'll say something that'll get me in more trouble then I'm already in.
"Well, I think he deserves something of an apology." is this some kind of mental torture? I don't apologize to anyone, for anything. I've hit Marluxia with the Keyblade and never apologized for it. Doesn't that mean anything to these people?
"Well I don't agree."
"You realize that you caused mass panic Roxas? The entirety of Berk had to go into that arena and calm the dragons down. Snotlout's Monstrous Nightmare is still having it's burns treated because of that monster you call a dragon. Do you have any idea how much damage it could do to a person if it got mad? Especially since you obviously cant control him!" Stoick is right in my face now and I can smell a small amount of ale on his breath and see the furry in his eyes.
Stoick reaches forward and grabs the front of my shirt, pulling me out of my seat and lifting me into the air so my face is closer to his but I have no freaking idea why fear is suddenly ripping through me.
"Apologize to Snotlout and you wont be punished Roxas… but until you do, you'll have to be faced with some sort of punishment." I catch a glimpse of Astrid holding her hand over Hiccups mouth and whispering something in his ear and I know he would be telling his father the truth right now if it weren't for her. But I don't want him to tell Stoick the truth, I can handle myself.
"Then bring on the punishment, because I'm not saying one word of apology to that low-down, pig-swallow, son of a half-troll, rat-eating munge-bucket! I refuse to apologies for anything, I've killed people and not apologized, he's still alive, so imagine how high he is on my list for apologizing!" his eyes go wide and I'm thrown back down into the seat, getting the sharp edge of the back of the chair in my back.
"Bring me some rope! Your punishments starts easy, for now." Snotlout is the one to bring the rope and I can see the smirk in his face. Stoick takes the rope and first ties my hands to the chair, then my feet, then he ties my midsection down too so I'm completely immobilized. "Get the book Gobber."
I haven't even noticed the stocky man in the corner of the hall yet with all the other adults. They all look like their ready to kill me as Gobber walks forward with a big, heavy book in his hand. He slams it down on front of my me and I realize I can move my right hand just enough to be able to flip the pages.
"The Dragon Manuel, everything we know about every dragon we know of. Get reading. You'll have a test once your done, and if you pass… you'll be able to apologize to Snotlout again, if not, you get another punishment." I can tell this is a punishment for children, but I was stuck in Wonderland with Zexion for a week. Reading this book and memorizing it looks like a piece of cake.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Strike class, Fear class, Mystery class. The three major classifications of dragons: easy enough to remember, too bad there are hundreds of Dragons for each classification.
The Thunderdrum: inhabits sea-caves and dark tide-pools, when startled the Thunderdrum produces a concussive sound that can kill a man at close rage, very dangerous, kill on sight. Are the Vikings friends with dragons now, or is this the old manual or something?
Timberjack: this gigantic creature has razor-sharp wings that can slice through full grown trees. Extremely dangerous. Kill on sight.
Scauldron: Sprays scalding water at it's victim. Extreamly dangerous. Kill on sight.
Changewing: Even newly hatched dragons can spray acid. Kill on sight.
Gronckel. Zippleback. The Skrill. Bone Knapper. Whispering Death.
Burns its victims. Buries it's victims. Chokes it's victims. Turns it's victims inside out. Extremely dangerous. Extremely dangerous. Extremely dangerous. Kill on sight. Kill on sight. Kill on sight.
I let out yet another sigh and roll my shoulders. I've been stuck here for too many hours to keep track of now and I'm only half way through the book. Granted, I've memorized everything, but it's getting boring.
"Hey Roxie… what're you doing in here all alone? It's such a beautiful day out." I turn my head and see Axel walking into the great hall, he's wearing Viking clothes like me now though and his smirk is still in place.
"Didn't you hear? This is my punishment?"
"For what?" he leans against the table beside the book and looks down at it. "Damn… this is a boring as shit book." I nod my head in agreement and he ruffles my hair. "Don't worry… I'm sure this is it."
"Nope. I wont apologize to Snotlout so once I'm done with this, I'll get another punishment." Axel winces slightly.
"Man Roxie…what did you do to this guy?"
"Nothing. He attacked me and Winner reacted. Now he's off flirting with Hiccup's girlfriend and I'm stuck here reading this lame-ass-shity-book." I know I'm glaring at the page in front of me, but my eyes just wont soften.
"Really? How interesting… I'll be back in a bit." without anymore of a goodbye or an option for me to say by Axel is gone through a dark corridor and I envy his ability to still do that.
I go back to reading the book, stupid, stupid, stupid, I don't care, I don't care, I don't fucking care! I let out a huff and throw my head back and straighten out my back, hearing a few pops and cracks from my spine.
"Hey! Let me go! Don't touch me! Let go you stupid, rat-eating-" Snotlout is cut off as he's thrown into the great hall, Axel is standing in the now open doorway and he's got that determined look on his face I've only see on hard missions.
The look breaks and his smirk washes over his face as he walks back into the room, grabbing the collar of Snotlout's vest and pulling him over to the chair directly across from me. I watch with wide eyes as Axel ties him up much like I am, mumbling something about 'stupid jocks' before slamming an even bigger book down in front of him.
"Get reading." Snotlout opens his mouth but Axel cuts him off "Now!" Snotlout just sits there and I hear Axel sigh before he walks over, flips the book over to the first page and pushes Snotlout's head into the page covered in writing. "I said read!" once Axel lets him go Snotlout does as told and starts reading, grumbling about 'being the victim' and 'shouldn't have to be treated like this' but to be honest, I think it's the best way to treat him.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Axel left a little while go, something about erasing the evidence that he tied Snotlout up. But now Stoick is here and madder then ever as he yells at me for having the audacity to not inform someone since Snotlout was gagged.
"No one listened to me, per your orders Nobody came in here Stoick." I love how I can use that and it's still true, I'm not lying to say that.
"It's not true! That red headed guy did this to me!"
"Tell me Roxas… who did it."
"Nobody did it." my lips are pulling up into a smirk and I can tell that I'm getting on his nerves again.
"Fine, are you ready to apologize to Snotlout yet?"
"No. give me the next punishment." Stoick grabs the collar of my shirt again and drags me out of the great hall. Many people laugh, some chuckle, but most people glare at me as I'm pulled towards the woods behind Hiccup's house. "You're to be tied up here for three days, nobody is to talk to you and only I will bring you water if you need it."
I smile as I'm tired to a fairly thick tree in a standing position, good thing Axel is here… that way Nobody can talk to me.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Three more punishments, not being allowed to be around Winner, having to help cook in the great hall, and I had to go on the fishing expedition: I've never seen so many fish-guts in my life. But Stoick finally gave up. I'd made it through, all the punishments he deemed 'safe' for someone my age and now I was just restricted to not going on the roof and not flying on Winner.
We're all in the Cove and Astrid is bugging me about the fact that I haven't actually done anything. But I don't really care, because now I'm just on the Villages watch list: basically if I step out of line I'll have to do something truly horrible like washing the villages clothes.
"I just don't get why you didn't apologize, you didn't have to make Hiccup worry so much!"
"I don't get why none of you could have stood up for me! Do you always let Snotlout dictate to the rest of you?"
"Of course not! Snotlout is just a hard guy to argue with! It's not like we let him run what we do!"
"Well I'd hate to tell you, but it kind of is!" I catch Axel and Hiccup sitting on a boulder beside each other, both holding their heads as we continue yelling at each other.
"How dare you, I do not let him- or anyone -tell me what to do!"
"Yes, yes you do! The simple fact that you go to Stoick every day when we all go home to tell him what I've done is proof enough that you do what they tell you! Your worse then I was when I was in the-" I'm suddenly cut off when I'm spun around. I see a bit of red for a moment before something is pressing against my lips.
My mind does a quick check: Winner is out with the other dragons, apparently trying to find Ryo and Fyr, Hiccup is now talking to Astrid and trying to get her to just drop the conversation, and as I open my eyes I see the two tear marks and bright green eyes in front of me.
My eyes are wide with shock and he just closes his eyes, he has the most innocent look now and I realize that he initiated it, not me. I close my eyes again and reach up to grab fists full of his hair despite the fact that the kiss remains sweet and soft.
I feel his tongue slide across my bottom lip and I open my mouth a little, the kiss still feels so sweet as our tongue just tap each other. I don't know how to kiss anymore, with Demyx it had been rough and sloppy, strictly pure need. But with Axel, he was being so sweet and gentile with the kiss that I didn't know what to do.
Axel is suddenly ripped away, we both let out a squeak. I open my eyes but all I see is a flash of black and Axel being pushed to the ground. Winner is on top of him, growling and before I can get him to let go two Monstrous Nightmares rush at Winner and push him off.
The three dragons are getting into a fight and I know that something bad is going to happen if this keeps up. "Winner! Knock it off! Winner!" I rush over, forgetting Axel who's still in a daze on the ground and jump into the mass of claws and teeth. "Winner! Stop it!" I get to his head and wrap myself around his jaw so he's cant bite the Monstrous Nightmares I know are Axels Chakrams.
"Hey! Ryo, Fyr! Knock it off!" I'm don't think I'm hurt, I cant feel anything though. Ryo and Fyr are still snapping and clawing with their teeth and claws, but there is no fire in the mix yet. Winner has somehow moved me to his back and I'm trying to pull his head away from the other two.
"Winner! Knock it off! Fly, fly you stupid reptile!" Winner snaps at one of them again before turning to glare at me. Before I can hold on properly Winner takes off and I'm rolling down his back onto the ground.
Ryo and Fyr take off too, but Winner is much faster and soon he's out of sight as the two Nightmares come back. "holly shit Roxas… are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"No I'm- shit!" I didn't notice that my sides been scratched up fiercely, pain is starting to run from my right thigh up to my shoulder and my arm feels pretty ripped to shreds too.
"How much of a stupid idiot are you? Hasn't anyone ever bothered to tell you not to get into a fucking dragon fight!" I can feel Axel's picking me up because I can feel the motion, but I cant actually feel his arms touching me, I cant feel anything touching me and I'm getting scared that I'm going to pass out again.
"I-I guess not."
"Idiot." I can tell I'm being set down but all I can really do to follow what's going on is listen: Astrid is taking me to her house to get patched up again, her mom is supposed to be a really good healer, and since Axel has no Potions it's the only option I have since he cant perform Cure spells and I'm in no shape to.
"I'm going to stay here with Hiccup, Roxas… I'll meet you back in the village as soon as I can, alright?" I just groan, I cant make any other sound without the threat of my lunch coming back up.
The sudden jerk of flight hits me, but I know it's not toothless or Winner because they take off like lightning bolts, this is a sort of harsh flapping and the up and down motion of a dragon having to work extra hard to get into the air. I know we're on Astrid's Nadderhead, but I just don't want to open my eyes so make sure.
So many emotions are running through my head right now, the main emotion being confusion as to why Axel had kissed me after all the shit I've put him through. I'm sure he'd rather just not see me again for the rest of his life instead of kissing me, but the emotions I'd felt behind the kiss were so strong that I'm just confused now.
"Roxas… I'm not sure if you've managed to figure this out on your own yet, but dragons are very possessive. You cant just have a relationship, you need to introduce your dragon to whoever you like and then you start off small. And what were you thinking just kissing him anyways? Are you even listening to me?"
"Uh… you were there Astrid. He kissed me." I look around Astrid's kitchen as her mom comes back over with a cold compress to clean my wounds with.
"So… Roxas here has himself a girlfriend does he?" she must have just been listening to 'kiss' instead of 'he kissed' but I don't know if something like loving a man is a taboo around here so I just shrug.
"I-I don't really know what our relationship is yet. It's complicated."
"Oh, I've heard that plenty of times. Just, tell her how you feel. And if she doesn't listen… knock some good old sense into her!" I smile slightly before she starts cleaning my wounds and I let out a slight scream at the sting. "Sorry… it'll get better soon." I nod my head and close my eyes to try and ignore the pain as best I can.
"First rule of getting a love interest Roxas, always, introduce your dragon, BEFORE sucking face! Is that clear? Perfectly and completely?" I nod my head as Astrid continues to lecture me. "You cant possibly think that it's a good idea to be gallivanting around with him Roxas! Winner is more possessive then any other dragon I've met. If you don't smarten up he's going to kill the people you care for most." I nod my head as the cold compress is dabbed across another cut. "And don't even get me started and still spending time with your dragon once a relationship does kick off. Your just lucky that Ryo and Fyr didn't show up before Winner tackled Axel or you would have been in serious shit yourself. If their person wasn't in danger they would have gone after you like Winner did."
I keep nodding my head even though I barely understand what she's saying, things were mo much simpler when Axel didn't bother trying to show me emotions, even though I'm extremely glad that he has shown me emotions.
"Alright Roxas. You're all patched up, you'll start to get feeling back into your body in a few minutes and it shouldn't even hurt!" Astrid's mom gets up and leaves the house, she seems nice enough, but I can tell that she's suspicious about how I got the wounds and why it's always me getting hurt by dragons.
"Astrid… can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, go ahead. I'm not sure what my answer will be though." I nod my head and rotate my neck slightly, since I've regained feeling there first.
"Is it bad for one male to love another here? Is it bad?"
"Well… that's an easy one: people hate that, horrible really. It's just the 'kids' who are smart and kind enough to know that love is love. Stoick thinks of nothing but the population of Berk when it comes to that question. His view is 'Men love women and women love men' and he's very strict about it."
"So… being close to Axel would be a bad thing in the Village I take it." Astrid nods her head vigorously and I let out a sigh. Great, so Axel finally shows me some kind of interest and it'd be a witch hunt of we show our emotions. This is horrible, don't these people know that I just want to have a life away from the Organization? Preferably with Axel though.
I let out a huff as I get up to follow Astrid to the great hall, my mind is still swimming with what to do and I'm not sure if I can really see Axel and talk normally with him, I just hope he knows that Vikings don't like homosexuality.
Axel and Hiccup are sitting down and we're waved over immediately, Axel grabs my waist and pulls me onto the bench beside him before letting go and starting with his conversation again: something about the look on my face when I first killed a Heartless, apparently it was hilarious.
The other teens are all sitting away from us and most of the adults are trying to catch the conversation, but aside from that not much is happening… until Snotlout stands up and walks over.
Our section of the table quiets down and we all look at him, I know I'm glaring as hostile as I can and he just returns my glare for a moment. "Can I talk with you for a minute Roxas?"
I'm not too sure about it, but I stand up anyways and follow him out of the great hall, making sure to keep a few feet of distance between us until we're outside. I stop at the top of the stairs, not willing to go any further without another person or Winner. But since Winner still hasn't shown himself again I have no option but to be alone while Snotlout has his Monstrous Nightmare.
"Common, I just wanna talk." I don't believe him, but my feet keep moving anyhow. I follow him through the Village and passed what I assume is his house until we're in the forest and he stops, just a few feet in and crosses his arms over his chest before he begins speaking.
"So… what's up with you and that red head? Do you know each other from somewhere?"
"Yeah… we've been friends for a while." I don't like the conversation already, but with his Monstrous Nightmare behind me I know that it's very likely that something is going to go wrong.
"Why did he help you sit down then?"
"Because I'm hurt… you know if you were paying attention on our way here you probably would have noticed I'm limping a bit. But what should I expect? Your nothing but a stupid jock who's only goal in life is to steal Hiccup's girlfriend from under his nose."
I see the rage flash in his face and cant move quick enough because of my injuries. I try to summon the Keyblade but it doesn't work for obviously reasons and as I bring my hand up with the missing Keyblade to block the punch his fists swings right passed my arm and I'm blown back several feet.
I feel my head strike something hard, and I'm looking up at Snotlout as he's walking over, a smirk on his face as he says something that I cant hear. The world is starting to fade out and I know my heart is racing, but is it bad that I cant feel it that there is no harsh pounding in my chest to indicate that I'm scared? Maybe I just cant feel it because I'm numb again… I hope that's it, because I watch as Snotlout places his foot on my left arm and steps. I can see the obvious break in my arm but pain is elusive and I let out a sigh as the world fades. I'm not sure if I'm dead or not… but the simple fact that my thoughts are still here is good, isn't it?
But this raises a question: is death simply being locked in a broken body, like the hands being stuck in a clock long after the battery runs out. Or is this nothingness and I've finally just vanished into thin air? If so, I hope to be carried around the world so I can keep exploring, because even in this dead state, I think I can still smell that fresh sulfur scent Axel always has.
AN:
Me: alright, thank you all for reading Ch.4! I think it turned out pretty well if you ask me… nothing too odd or horrible… the end is a little confusing though. ^^ sorry.
Roxas: did you kill me? You killed me didn't you? Oh god, and after the kiss with Axel, how could you do this to me!
Axel: relax Roxie, we've still got backstage.
Roxas: Shut up. I'm not talking to you since your on her side.
Axel: I'm just glad I'm in the fic now… four chapters was too long to wait.
Me: you know, you were in Roxas' dreams and flash backs, right? So you cant really get too mad at me.
Hiccup: what's the rest of the plot? Because I don't know how my character should act.
Me: your character is you Hiccup. Anyhow, here's Gaara.
Gaara: thank you all for reading and please review. If not Elizabeth is going to steal my soul and give it to her friend for a birthday present… or sell it on eBay.
