The 50th Keeper

by Bronze Babe

Roxas Strife, twin brother of Cloud Strife, is chosen to follow in his brother's footsteps as a keeper after his only caretaker, his mother, is killed- He has no idea what is even happening. He faces a world he had never faced before and being the last keeper of hearts, if he is in the state of defeat, the whole world can be in terrible danger... Even you can be in danger.

2. Reunitions and Surprises

Merlin's Cove, 2015

"Mmph..." Roxas's blue eyes were closed shut... ROXAS, BREAKKKFASSTTT!

"Damn it.." Roxas grumbled as he got out of bed, and put on the outfit he needed to for school. A black cloak with cool chains, wow. Just perfect. At least it looked cool. Had a hood. Roxas slipped himself in it, and then stared at the door. He wondered if his brother's powers really worked as he claimed. He concentrated on the doorknob... Every detail of it... Then he snapped his fingers one time. The doorknob turned... The door opened!

"Woah!" Roxas looked surprised at the sudden action.

ROXAS YOUR BROTHER IS HERE! COME DOWN THIS INSTANT!

Roxas's eyes widened.. Cloud Strife... His twin brother.. Though a bit shorter than him, Cloud S. was chosen to be a keeper of something... He learned a bunch of powers ever since, leaving him strong, though Roxas was equal in some ways... God, he missed his brother...

"ROXY BOO COME DOWN!" Roxas heard his little sister, Kairi, who loved him a bunch, yelled out teasingly. He bounded down the stairs at that moment, and walked over to his mom, who kissed him on the head, making him blush, and greeted him with "Good morning, sweetie. Sit next to Cloud and Kairi." Roxas walked over to the table and sat down in the middle of the two. Kairi hugged him and took a bit of her pancakes. Roxas felt another pair of eyes stare at him. Roxas turned and hugged his twin brother tightly, so happy to have had him back for breakfast. After they were all done with their crazy sibling jokes and talks, being reunited, they all grabbed their bags and hugged their mom tight, saying "Love you" before heading out. Their mother looked back at Cloud, tears in her eyes as she smiled and watched him as well as everybody else, go to school.

"The next day they could even be packing their bags.." She muttered under her breath before walking over to the sink to wash the dishes.

An hour later, she walked over to the couch and picked up a book. As she read, she heard a tiny knock on the door.

A scream was reported to be heard around 10:12 AM in the morning at 5641 Berryman lane in Merlin's cove on January 1st, 2015.

And nobody knew. Not even Roxas.
