Roxas had finished packing his bags a day later in the Destiny Er room, making sure not to leave out any small weapons he could use just in case there was trouble to occur. He was wondering and wondering... What was he? Who was the killer? Was he coming from behind him so that a shadow appeared? That couldn't be possible though... The strangest part was that Roxas didn't see HIS own figure in the walls of his house..

"Roxas. You ready? Your sister saved your breakfast for later. You're in for a lot of things," Cloud had said after knocking on the door.

Roxas just softly nodded his head before following his twin brother downstairs. Kairi kept herself away from Roxas in the mere fear of ever getting squeezed unconscious again. She was simply afraid of his anger. Roxas felt like he was some sort of monster when he wasn't. Everything about Roxas made him feel more guilty, but inside, he was somehow curious to know why he had done what he done and was in for a lot of things. The simple sentences his twin brother said just left his eyes blazing with wonder...

"Hey," Cloud patted Roxas on the head, "Don't feel so guilty. It was an accident and Kairi forgives you. You'll be able to control that anger and sadness soon. Trust me." All Roxas did was just softly nod.

5 hours later

"We made it," Cloud had finally said after a weary walk through the streets looking for the unknown destination Roxas had never heard of. It was something called "The Secret Order of Hearts." Roxas thought Cloud only went to some sort of magic army as he said when he was little. Was this it? He just shook the thought out of his mind as he walked beside Kairi. He stopped as they reached an impossibly HIGH looking gate, so high it had touched the cloud and was officially the largest gate he had ever seen in his life. They were an Ebony color, and were very, very terrifying. Carves of giant dragons and burnt houses, people on the ground and blood on the floors in the carving had made Roxas hold Kairi close to him protectively as she softly whimpered. His eyes had turned a soft blue in fear as he held on tighter. Kairi gasped in horror as she realized he was going to attack her unknowingly again. She somehow managed to shake Roxas out of his state of mind as his eyes turned back to their regular shade... He was terrified at the end...

Cloud had taken defense mode and started interrogating Roxas on every single little move he made before nodding his head in approval and attempting to push the black door. Roxas tried to contain his laughter as Cloud was only a muscular boy pushing the gigantic walls of a secret order. How can he possibly succee-?

"Welcome to the Secret Order of Hearts, guys," Cloud sighed as the trio walked into what seemed like a magnificent kingdom. The Sun's rays had set a warm tone on the green, sweet smelling grass of which people armored in shields and blades, as well as daggers and kunai, stood to fight against each other in practice for something. There were beautifully decorated cottages and mini shops as well as a clock tower laid out on the surface of the kingdom, all of which led to one road that gave way to the blocked entrance-way of a ginormous castle. This castle's clear glass windows gleamed and sparkled in the sunshine. Kairi's jaw was already dropped at the mere sight of such a magnificent place.

The three siblings ventured on toward the beautiful castle. Roxas was not up for any cottages and small stuff. He was in need of good service as he had refused a bite of food given to him from the hospital, as he was always in shock or fright.

As they finally reached their place, Cloud nodded over to the guards, who gasped and bowed down to the trio, as they allowed them to come in. As Roxas, Cloud and Kairi trudged along in modern day clothes, The other end of a royal looking room they were in stood a beautiful woman. Age hadn't seen her yet, and her perfectly flawless features made Kairi gasp as she wore a breathtaking crimson Victorian era dress that accentuated the red lips that had coated over her pale skin. She looked down at Cloud and gasped at him, giving him a welcoming and beautiful smile. "My child, what may you need as the keeper of hearts?", her motherly voice trailed toward Cloud.

"Yes, majesty, I have important and personal news to bring to you. My brother and sister are here with me as my mother was killed, if you may know..." Cloud formally said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

The majesty gasped in shock and frowned in desperation as she boomed "Who was her killer?!"

Cloud whispered "Him, your majesty.. You know who he is.." Cloud nodded over to a statue of something horrible...

It looked like a skeleton in a worn out cloak, emerald to coat the eyes as he stared with a merciless glare at the ground. Kairi yelped and jumped back, accidentally standing next to the queen. The majesty took her hand upon Kairi's, and calmly said "It will not hurt you, child."

Roxas's breathing got faster as he tried to stand up straight like a man and take it in. But all he really wanted to do inside was take his cloak's hood and throw it over his face to hide away the fear he had of such a wretched statue. It wasn't anything like a Halloween costume or decorations for a fake haunted house- it was terrifyingly real, like it could look up, burst out at Roxas and make it's horrifying features the last thing he would see. Roxas's eyes looked into that of the queen, who stared at him with extreme curiosity as her eyes bounded back to Cloud.

Cloud cleared his throat and looked at the queen. "Your majesty, the time came early, and... Well... You see, due to the obvious occurrence of events that happened, the... him... He..."

The queen stared at him desperate for a full sentence...

Kairi shuddered...

Roxas's eyes were starting to become lighter as he worriedly looked at Cloud...

"The shadow... It didn't come for me. It came for him," Cloud admitted to Roxas's surprise, as he pointed at Roxas, making the queen gasp.. for some reason. Why would the shadow come and kill people for an average boy like him anyway?...

Kairi looked at Roxas, shocked to death as she backed away from Roxas. The boy looked at queen in worry of what this all meant...

Then he heard Cloud voice echo across the throne room...

"Last keeper. Roxas Strife is the 50th keeper of hearts."
