~Chapter 12~



CLATTER!!!!!


The dark Keyblade clattered noisily to the ground, the sound echoing out in the vast arena.

Roxas stood there, shaking.

He…had almost…done it…

Xed breathed hard, shaking.

He…had almost…done it…

Roxas looked at her. Her eyes were pools of fear.

Xed looked at him. His eyes were pools of fear.

Roxas started to back away.
“Roxas…” Xed breathed, still frightened. Suddenly, Roxas turned and ran out of the arena and into the Castle. Xed turned to watch him. She wanted to jump up and run after him, but her legs felt somewhat weak after what just was about to happen. Axel ran after Roxas, while Demyx ran into the arena towards Xed. Everyone else stayed where they were, in complete shock. Actually, everyone was in such shock, that no one noticed Xemnas had left…

“Xed!” Demyx called as he ran over to her. “Are you ok?” He extended a hand out to her. She took it and let him help her up.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” She said quietly. She then looked up at Demyx. “Roxas…stole my Keychain? But why?” Demyx looked at her with sad eyes.
“I don’t think he did. He wouldn’t…”
“But then why did he have it?” Demyx shook his head.
“I don’t know…”
+++
Roxas ran into his room and slammed the door, leaning against it and catching his breath, still shaking.

He had almost hurt her!

He had almost taken her heart!

Roxas closed his eyes, breathing deeply. All he could see was the terror that was embedded in Xed’s faded gray eyes. For such beautiful eyes, they could hold some hideous terror…
“Roxas!” A voice shouted from the other side of the door. It was Axel. He rapped on the door. “Open up now!” Roxas backed away from the door.
“No!” Roxas shouted back,
“Roxas, I promise if you don’t open this door now, I’ll burn it down!!!” he shouted, obviously angry.
“Yeah right!” Roxas shouted back, placing his back against the door again. Suddenly, his back became very hot, and the smell of burning wood filled the air. He then realized that Axel was really burning the door down!
“Okay I’ll open it!” Roxas shouted, opening the door. He looked up to see Axel standing there with his arms crossed.
“What happened out there?” he said. Roxas shook his head and looked down at the ground.
“Nothing…” he replied softly.

Thank goodness for that.

“ ‘Nothing’ didn’t happen out there, Roxas!” Axel said. “You had her stolen Keyblade, and was about to take her heart!” Roxas turned away from him. Axel sighed.
“Fine, then answer this: How’d you get it?” Roxas shook his head.
“I…can’t say…” Axel cocked his head.
“Why not?”
“I just can’t!”
“WHY NOT?”
“I CAN’T! OK? IF I SAY HE’LL HURT XED!!!” Roxas blurted out, close to tears again. He immediately slapped his hand over his mouth. Axel’s eyes narrowed, and he seemed angry.
“Someone’s making you do this?” he asked. Roxas said nothing and sat down on his bed. Axel sat down with him.
“Who?” he asked quietly. Roxas shook his head. “Come on Roxas! You can tell me!” Roxas put his face in his hands and mumbled something Axel couldn’t make out.
“What?” Axel said, pulling Roxas’ hands away from his face.
“Xemnas.” He said tearfully. “He said that he wants Xed in the Organization, and he wants me to steal her heart so she’s a Nobody. So he stole the Keychain and gave it to me to use. And he said if I didn’t take her heart, or if I told anyone about this, he’d kill Xed.” Axel clenched his teeth. He got up and walked towards the door.
“That no good, son of a—“
“Wait! Axel!” Roxas called, standing up. Axel turned back towards him.
“What?” he said.
“You can’t tell him! He’ll know I told, and he’ll kill Xed!”
“Then what are we going to do?” Roxas sighed.
“I don’t know…”

Xed was sitting at the kitchen table with a sketchpad. She was doodling something in it.

“Hello.”

Xed turned to see Vexen walking into the kitchen. She smiled weakly, and returned back to doodling. He sat down at the table. He smiled at her.
“What are you drawing?” he asked. Xed shook her head.
“Nothing.” Vexen frowned.
“Still upset about what happened?” he asked. She put down her pencil.
“It’s not that. It’s just…” she shook her head. “I’m leaving tomorrow, and I wanted to tell Roxas something. But he keeps avoiding me.” Vexen cocked his head.
“You’re leaving?” She nodded.
“Tonight I’ll finish Marluxia’s weapon, and that’ll be it.” Vexen nodded slowly.
“We’ll all miss you.” He said with a smile. Xed smiled back slightly.
“I’ll miss you all too, but Roxas…” she said, trailing off. Vexen smiled slyly.
“You’ll miss him more than you would us, right?” She looked up at him and blushed.
“Of course not!” she retorted. Vexen rolled his eyes.
“Sure.” He smiled. “What did you want to tell him?”
“A secret.” She said. Vexen nodded. She looked down, and then back up at him nervously.
“I wanted to tell everyone, but Roxas was going to be first. Can I tell you?” she asked timidly. Vexen nodded.
“Sure you can. I promise I won’t tell anyone.” He said. She was about to say something when…

“Hi Xed!”

The two of them turned to see Demyx come down the stairs into the kitchen. He smiled.
“Hey Xed, you wanna go for a walk with me?” he asked cheerfully. Xed nodded and smiled.
“Okay!” she got up from her seat. Demyx walked towards the door. She looked back at Vexen.
“Umm, hold on real quick.” She said. Demyx nodded. Xed then leaned towards Vexen’s ear and whispered something. His eyes became wide at her words. He looked up at her, his expression a mix of fright and shock. He looked at her eyes, searching for some sign that she was lying. Her eyes had none.
“You…you…” he said, in disbelief, putting his hand to where his heart should’ve been. Xed nodded. She then walked over to where Demyx was. He raised an eyebrow.
“What’d you say?” Demyx asked. Xed shook her head.
“It was nothing.” Demyx shrugged and opened the door for her. While walking out, she turned and gave Vexen a remember-you-promised look. Vexen nodded as she walked outside and Demyx closed the door after them.
+++
Roxas and Axel walked up to Xemnas’ office. Axel had convinced Roxas that they should tell him to leave Xed alone, and that the two of them would protect her if they needed to. Axel pushed the door open.

No one was inside.

“Roxas, look!” Axel said, walking over to Xemnas’ desk. Roxas walked over with him. A note was taped to his desk.
“What’s it say?” he asked. Axel picked it up, read it, and his face turned pale. Roxas cocked his head.
“What’s it say?” he repeated, becoming nervous. Axel cleared his throat and read it aloud:

"Roxas—

You are traitor to the Organization. I’ll take care of you later.

But first, I have a certain Keyblader to take care of.

Mercy?

Dream on.

—Xemnas"

Demyx and Xed were walking along the streets of The World That Never Was. It was about 9:00 p.m. It was dark, but the light of the Moon made it able to see things clearly. Demyx looked over at Xed, who was frowning. He frowned too. He didn’t like it when she was sad.
“What’s wrong?” he asked. Xed shook her head.
“Why won’t Roxas talk to me?” she asked. Demyx shrugged.
“I don’t know. He hasn’t talked to any of us. Axel went to check on him, but I’m not sure how that went.” Xed nodded, still frowning. Demyx crossed his arms and thought for a moment.

What could I do to make her smile? He thought. He then snapped his fingers and smiled.

He got it! He’d show her a water trick he had learned.

“Hey Xed?” he said, putting his hand on her shoulder. She looked up into his smiling face.
“You wanna see something cool?” he asked. Xed nodded. He smiled wider. “Ok, stay here.” He said, creating a Corridor of Darkness to the Castle That Never Was. He stepped through and disappeared. She sighed and leaned against a nearby building.

“Hello, Xedramon…” an eerie voice from the shadows of a nearby alley called...

 

Ch 12 Is Up!!! :d
