When are you going to release your next chapter? I know its not good to hurry a writer, but I'm so anxious and excited about this story, that I really just can't wait to read more of it!!...I think this will be one of the stories that I will be really sorry for ending..Oh, well, just keep it up!!

 

Thank you! :D The Jessie McCartney idea wasn't mine, but sT3pH!e313's. :D

And I hope to have chapter 10 out real soon :D

AND I FINISHED DRAWING A BETTER PICTURE OF XED'S KEYBLADE AND DEVOTED HEARTS!!!

But....

my stupid Saix (its what i named my camera) is acting stupid again!

*goes to fix it*

 

Cool! Can't wait to read it and to see the drawing!

 

Jeez, suspense always kills me.>_<
This is really amazing work you have there.

 

:D Before i start typing, im gonna update my Archive. I have to add nw ch, poems, and LSSP stuff :)

Thank you! :D I was hoping everyone would like the suspense...lol :D

 

No problem! Take your time, I can wait a bit longer, and as I said, rushing a writer isn't the best thing to do.

 

lol thanks :) I can start now :)

Alright!! Now I'm getting anxious!! LOL :D :D

 

Nice, I liked it. Especially the part about Jesse McCartney. If Roxas breaks Xed's heart, and she finds the missing keychain... is she gonna take revenge and take his--- whoops, I forgot he didn't have a heart.

~Chapter 10~

“When will the plan start?”

“Soon. Very soon.”

“But when?”

“When her true power is revealed.”

“True power?”

“Yes, she is aware of it. But she can’t be afraid to use it… When she uses it, it will be time…”

Roxas and Xed were sitting at the kitchen table. It was the next morning, and everyone (even Xemnas) was in the kitchen eating breakfast (except for Axel and Larxene). Xed’s face was in her hands, her elbows on the table.
“How could I let this happen?” she said, her voice muffled by her hands. “That Keyblade is dangerous. And now, it’s been stolen!” Roxas wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn’t know what to say. Just then, Axel came walking into the kitchen. He smiled at Xed, oblivious to what had happened.
“Hey, nice coat!” he said, referring to the Organization coat she had decided to wear today. His try at humor went unnoticed; no one laughed, or even smiled. He cocked his head.
“What’s up?” he asked.
“Someone stole a weapon from her last night.” Marluxia said. Axel seemed surprised and slightly angry.
“Who did it?” he asked.
“If we knew that, Axel, she wouldn’t be so upset, now would she?” Xemnas said dully, sipping some coffee from a mug. Axel smirked at him and sat down at the table.
“Don’t worry, Xed!” Demyx said cheerfully. Xed looked up at him. He stood up. “We’ll find out who did it!” She smiled.
“What was so special about that weapon anyway?” Luxord asked. Xed looked over at him.
“Well, it was a Keychain I designed that can steal hearts.” She explained. Roxas looked at her.
“Was it your most powerful Keychain?” he asked. Xed shook her head.
“No, I keep my most powerful Keychain with me at all times.” She said. Just then, Larxene came walking into the kitchen. By the expression on her face, she was in an EXTREMLY bad mood, worse than usual. She walked over to where Xed was sitting.
“You’re in my seat, move it.” She demanded. Xed looked up at her.
“I don’t see your name on it.” She said, jokingly. A couple of the Organization members chuckled. Xed was pretty brave to joke with Larxene when she was in such a bad mood. Larxene gritted her teeth.
“I said MOVE IT.” She yelled. Xed smirked again.
“How about a please?” she said teasingly. The other members exchanged worried glances. They could tell that Larxene was about to blow. Larxene clenched one of her fists, and a twisted smile appeared on her face.
“Fine.” She said, her words scrapping against her gritted teeth. Roxas looked at Xed in fear.

He knew this wouldn’t be good.

“PLEASE MOVE IT!!!!” Larxene yelled furiously, bringing her clenched fist up, and striking Xed hard in the left side of her face. In fact, she had struck her so hard that Xed stumbled out her chair and fell onto the floor, just by the sheer force of it. All of the Organization members were mortified, Roxas especially. Larxene laughed viciously as she watched Xed sit up on the floor, clutching the side of her face.
“Thank you.” Larxene said with a sweet venom tone. Roxas jumped up from his seat and ran over to Xed.
“Xed are you ok?” he asked, his hands on her shoulders, helping her sit up. Xed took her hand away to reveal a large, black-blue bruise that had formed under her left eye and down her cheek. Roxas was furious. He turned to Larxene.
“You didn’t have to hit her!” he yelled.
“Yeah really, Larxene!” Xigbar said, angry as well. Larxene shrugged and smiled evilly.
“It’s not my fault the little wimp can’t take a punch.” She spat. “She’s probably too afraid to.” She laughed again. Xed turned her head sharply up at her, completely ignoring the terrible pain in her face.
“What…did…you…say…?” she said through clenched teeth. Roxas could sense her anger. Larxene looked at her, still smiling.
“I said that little Xed is a little ‘fraidy cat!” She laughed. “You should learn to face your pathetic little fears.” She said teasingly. Xed narrowed her eyes.

That did it.

Xed leapt up off the floor, ripping away from Roxas’ grip. She ran up to Larxene and grabbed her shoulders, throwing her up against the wall with so much force that the entire kitchen shook. Larxene tried to struggle away from Xed’s grip, but it was no use. Her grip was vice-like. Larxene looked at Xed, who was by now seething with anger.
“LET GO OF ME YOU LITTLE—“ she started, but was halted by Xed’s uncomfortable stare on her. Xed’s pale gray eyes seemed to become an endless, empty vortex of void. As she stared into her eyes, Larxene started to see things…

Deaths, parents, fear, pain, hurt, fear…

What was happening to her? Larxene felt her head spinning with all of her deepest fears…

Betrayal, fear, hurt, fear, her sister, fear…

Larxene started to breathe heavily. She started to shake violently. She tried to break away from Xed’s haunting glare, but couldn’t.

Fear…Fear…Fear…Fear…Fear…

“STOP!!!” Larxene screamed. She couldn’t take it anymore! Xed’s eyes let Larxene go. The images disappeared, but Larxene was still shaking, purely terrified. She hadn’t known she could still be scared like that. Xed stared at her hard.
“Don’t…you…EVER…say I can’t face my own fears when you can’t even face your own…” she growled, her voice dangerously low. She then let go of Larxene and stomped out of the room.
The entire room was quiet, still in deep shock of what had happened. Roxas would’ve run after her, but he thought that she might want to be left alone for a little while. Larxene stayed where she was, her back against the wall, shaking uncontrollably. Lexaeus, having some sympathy, walked over to the shaking Nobody.
“Hey, Larxene? Are you ok?” he asked. She didn’t respond. Her eyes just stared off, wide and awake with fear. Axel walked up to her as well.
“Hello? Larxene?” he called, waving his hand in front of her face. He cocked his head.
“What’d she do to you?” Larxene looked up at him.
“She…scared me…I didn’t even know I could still be scared…” she whispered, still shaking. Everyone was silent, still surprised at what just happened.

And no one had even noticed Xemnas slipping out of the room, a small, sly smile set upon his face.

He had seen what he needed to see…
+++
“Xed! Open up, it’s me!” Roxas called, knocking loudly on the Workshop door. Behind him were Axel and Demyx.
“Come in.” A soft voice said. The three opened the door and walked in to see Xed leaning over a weapon (Marluxia’s), working on it. She looked up at them. The bruise on her face had become darker, with red splotches mixed in. She smiled at them sweetly nonetheless. Roxas smiled back.

She still looked beautiful in his eyes.

“Are you ok?” Axel asked. Xed nodded.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” Xed replied.
“Vexen said you should put some ice on it.” Demyx said, holding out a small bag of ice wrapped in a paper towel. Xed took it and smiled.
“Thanks.” She sat down in a chair and put the ice to her face. Axel cocked his head.
“What’d you do to Larxene?” he asked. Xed sighed, annoyed.
“Nothing.” She replied coldly. “It’s what she did to herself.”
“What do you mean?” Roxas asked. Xed looked up at him.
“I know you won’t believe me if I told you.” She said. Roxas smiled.
“Try me.” She sighed.
“Well, I sort of have this—“

“ROXAS!!!”

The four could hear Xemnas called from the upper floor. Roxas grunted and made a face. Xed laughed at how silly he looked. He smiled.

Music to his ears.

“I’ll be back.” Roxas said, as he dashed out of the room.
+++
Roxas slowly opened the door to Xemnas’ office and looked inside. Xemnas was standing, his back facing Roxas, staring out of the window.
“Come in, Roxas.” He said, without even turning around. Roxas stepped in. By his tone of voice, he knew this wasn’t going to be good, whatever he wanted.
“What do you want?” Roxas asked. Xemnas turned around to face him. His eyes were colder than usual…it sent shivers up and down Roxas’ spine.
“How would you react to a 14th edition to the Organization?” Roxas raised his eyebrows. They hadn’t had a new addition in a long time.
“Who?” Roxas asked. Xemnas smiled…too nicely…

“Xedramon.”

Roxas’ eyes became wide. Xed? Xed was going to be brought into the Organization?
“Really?” he said, smiling excitedly. This was awesome! Xemnas nodded slowly.
“Really…” he replied. Roxas then realized something. Something REALLY important.

“Xemnas, Xed isn’t a Nobody.”

Xemnas smiled deviously. He had a strange gleam in his eyes.
“Yes, I’m quite aware of that.” Roxas cocked his head.
“Well, she can’t become part of the Organization if she still has her heart.” He said. Xemnas nodded.
“I know that.” He said. He then walked towards Roxas. He stopped in front of him and grabbed Roxas’ hand, pushing something into it. Roxas looked at his hand and gasped in horror.

It…was Xed’s stolen Keychain!

“Wha…?” Roxas said, unsure what to say or feel. He looked up at Xemnas, at his strange coldness in his eyes. Roxas’ eyes widened.

No, oh no…

“Which is why, Roxas…” Xemnas said. Roxas wanted to turn and run, to not hear the rest.

No, oh no…

Xemnas please no!!!

Xemnas smiled evilly.

No!!!

“I want you to steal her heart.”
