A Scattered Dream

Her laugh echoed down the hallway. "You could try, but to what end? Xion will still die, and you still won't learn." she went into her room, panting as she sat on her bed. Xion had left the castle, that much was certain.

Xion slowly shivered, feeling like her responses were delayed. "Demyx..." she should tell him. She should. He should know, and so should Axel. They had rights to.

 

"Yeah what's up?" He walked with her down the street thinking she was to weak to walk on her own. He observed the colors of the sky and knew this was the place where Roxas and Axel hung out a lot.

 

"You know I'm..different, right?" she whispered, closing her eyes. How could someone even begin to tell another that their life would end in a matter of days? Never mind that they might have to be the one to kill them.

 

Axel was surprised that Larxene had decided to give up on this fight and now he was with nothing else to do. He could go after her, but it would be disappointing to try to kill an organization member such bad karma. He sighed as he made a portal and travleled to Twilight Town and killing heartless in their awake. Once he was down with that he plopped himself on the clock tower and sighed as he placed his head in over his hands.

 

"So? We're all different. That just makes us special," he grinned. He didn't know why she was bringing up this kind of discussion as he was glad that they both had gotten away.

 

"Demyx.....I'm not a Nobody." She murmured. "I'm...memories....just memories. Held together by more memories." she looked away, closing her eyes.

 

Demyx glanced at her not understanding what she was saying. "So you're not a nobody? Huh that's strange, but just because you're not doesn't mean you can't exist. I don't care about that. Heck I'm not even supposed to yet here I am." He kept the conversation light.

 

Xion shook her head. "That's not it..." exhaustion was slowly beating down her defenses, but she held on. "I'm going to leave, Demyx. I'm going to leave so I don't hurt you. Because.....when I was in that room, I saw why I left before, why I didn't remember anything. I did that to myself, so I wouldn't...so I wouldn't try and kill you."

 

The whisks of red brushed through his hair which of course was the sunset as if was setting. Nevermind it always looked this way to him, but now things were different. How was he suppose to know that everything he had with Xion were lies. Why didn't Xenmas say anything? Did he feel that his members were that stupid and wouldn't figure it out? Or was it that he simply didn't care. If she wasn't an nobody then what was she? He still kept his hand over his head his body bent over as if so what disappointed, confused and aggravated not to mention depressed.

 

Demyx shook his head not believing what she was saying. "You're going to hurt me? How so? I don't understand? He was completly lost and liked the friendship they had and now she was saying other things that could affect that.

 

She shook her head. "Too much information, too many feelings and emotions. I was going to go insane." she whispered, feeling shame in her words. Why couldn't she be as strong as him, or Axel? The pain she felt made it hard to talk, so she stopped.

 

"Hey let's not think of it right now okay? Let's think of stuff that makes you happy at least." He tried to cheer her up. He didn't want to scare her so he did his best to put her in a better mood.

 

She smiled slightly. "Like what kinda things?" she asked, craning her head to look up at him. Demyx and Axel knew how to make her better, they really did. Speaking of which...where was Axel?

 

Demyx placed his finger to his chin. "Um what about um kinds of music, or types of animals you like or even your favorite kinds of foods. I'll go first. I like all genra of music especially rock and roll, I love dolphins since they are so playful and I love eating anything crunchy like chips and popcorn and I also love cookies." His stomach grumbled after his speech. "Oopps," he blushed placing his hand behind his head. "I guess I'm hungry huh?"

 

She giggled, poking him. "What are dolphins? And I'm kinda hungry too. Hm....I like...ice cream." She smiled. "Seasalt icecream...and...cats." She looked up at him. "So what are dolphins?" her blue eyes curious.

 

Axel held his hands on his head down hunched over as he ignored voices that sounded like Demyx and Xion. He had no idea that they were right above him. His mind was settled on nothing to particular, but he needed to know the truth. Once he found out he would decide to go from there. He already felt like he was losing his friends already. Demyx would always be with him, but what about Roxas? He never found him and felt bad that he couldn't locate him again. Xion was his other friend, but would she really go insane?

 

Demyx looked for something to show her of what a dolphin was. Seeing a stained glass picture of one, he took her by the hand and showed her the sea mammal. "See that? That's a dolphin. They are playful sea mammals that are extremely intelligent and use their own means of communication through sound waves or chirping under the water to confuse and catch their prey." Demyx knew a lot about sea life for he took an interest in that topic. He was knowledgeable in areas the peaked his curiousity and interest and could careless about stuff that didn't.

 

She tilted her head, reaching out as if to touch the picture. "Dolphins..." she whispered. "They sound like happy creatures." she murmured. Her eyes widened for a second, then she closed them tight, clenching her hands. She knew Demyx was right next to her but Axel.....Axel was close. Her eyes opening, she looked up at Demyx, smiling sweetly. "Axel is close." she murmured, taking his hand. "So...Dolphins eat fish?"

 

Demyx sensed Axel's prescense as well and he had a feeling of where exactly the fire wielder was. "Yeah they eat fish and other sea life as well."

 

She smiled up at him. "Sounds like they have a good life." she murmured, closing her eyes. She saw Demyx as a pale watery spout and broadened her vision for a few feet, looking for the blaze of fire she knew so well.
