Chapter 5 The five beams of light that came out of Larxene’s chest, was her soul… Ariel needed a living soul that lived. So she could form her regular appearance. Larxene’s soulless body fell to the ground in the rubble Zexion was lying unconscious when Axel found him. “Zexion!†he said while shaking him… He slowly opened his eyes. “Are you okay?†Axel asked. “Ye-yeah…†Zexion said. Roxas came walking over weakly. The five beams of light merged together and formed Ariel’s body and soul. She had long red hair, Fire red eyes, and a red summer dress, for she was only 7 years old. “Meehaa,†she said softly. “Meehaa?†asked Roxas. “It means “family†but used to be our nicknames,†Zexion said. “Come here Meehaa,†she said holding out her hand. “No Meehaa. You stole my friend’s soul...†Zexion said. She smiled and said softly, “I’m right here. I’ll protect you,†Zexion’s eyes got wide. “I love you Ariel, but you’re dead. No matter what, you’ll always be dead, and I’m sorry I let you die that day…†Zexion said. “It wasn’t your fault…†she said walking up to him. She held his hand and gazed into his eyes. Zexion had looked into her fire red eyes and collapsed. “Zexion!†Demyx yelled. Axel summoned his fire disks and threw one at Ariel, knocking her down… Demyx ran up to put Zexion’s arm over his neck and Axel ran back to scoop Larxene up in his arms. Roxas formed a corridor of darkness to let the others in. When Ariel stood up, Roxas threw a Keyblade at her, knocking her a far distance away, then ran into the corridor after retrieving his Keyblade. They all soon arrived at the castle. Axel, Demyx and Roxas took the 2 unconscious members into the lounge. Zexion had woken up with a tear going down the right side of his face. “What is wrong?†Demyx asked. “Ariel, she threw my memories back into my head…†he said. He sat up to see Larxene lying on the other bed. He got up and walked over to her. He put his hand on her cheek and said, “To die is to live, and to live is to die. Pure has become impure, and impure has become pure…Reverse today and skip 6 sunrises…†The ground started shaking they all saw the past rewinding, including Larxene’s soul coming back to her, but Zexion was the only one who noticed that only one part came back. Then, it fast forward to the day before the 8 members would come home. Demyx had stepped forward as soon as he ground started shaking. “What happened?†asked Axel. “I rewound a whole day, and then skipped the next 6,†Zexion said. “Then that means… uh-oh…†Axel said. “Tomorrow Xemnas and the others are coming back!†Demyx yelled. Larxene woke up and Roxas yelled with excitement. “Larxene!†he yelled. Zexion, Axel and Demyx looked at her. She tried sitting up. “You feel weird in any way?†Zexion asked putting his hand on her forehead. “I feel as if my body was going to break or something…†she said removing Zexion’s hand with her own. “What was the last thing you remember?†Axel asked. “Ummm…Ariel was choking me, and I said that Zexion is in there somewhere, and then she said, He’s under my control, you needn’t worry about him. To die is to live and to live is to die. Pure has become impure and impure has become pure…†Then out of now where, Ariel appeared out of a corridor of darkness. “But…how could you be here?†Zexion asked shocked to death. “You forgot brother, I had your spell book for quite sometime when I took over your body. I used life saver, and now…Larxene is a part of me,†Ariel said. “What does that mean?†Axel asked. “It means, Larxene is dying…and the only way to save her, is to put her whole soul back in,†Zexion explained. “But…I thought she already had her soul…†Demyx asked. Ariel walked over and touched Demyx’s face. She whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you,†then she stabbed Demyx in his stomach with a knife in her pocket. Everyone was in shock (except for Ariel). Ariel stepped back, drenched in his blood. Axel, Roxas and Zexion ran over to Demyx. Axel sat down and held up his shoulders. Larxene looked at Ariel, who was going through a corridor of darkness, then back at Demyx. A teardrop went down Demyx’s face. “Axel…I don’t want to die…†Demyx said shaking. Larxene got up slowly and sat down beside Demyx. She hugged him, holding him in her arms. “Demyx, you’ll be okay…†she said. Demyx was slowly closing his eyes. Everyone had tears coming out of their eyes. “Don’t let me die…†Demyx whispered. He collapsed into Larxene’s arms. Larxene had teardrops going down her face…Lightning was cracking, thunder was rolling, and the rain was pouring. “Don’t die Demyx!†she yelled squeezing him while crying. “Please don’t die!†she yelled. Axel stood up and put his arm on her shoulder. “Larxene, he’s….†“Don’t say it!†she said forcefully. “He’s dead Larxene,†he said. “No!†she said sobbing. Axel, Zexion, and Roxas walked out of the room. Larxene put his body on the bed and walked outside in the pouring rain. She sat on a stone ledge outside the castle. She looked down with sad eyes. “How could I sit there and watch him die…†she thought. Axel was walking through the hallway and looked out the window. He saw Larxene. She stood up and walked forward. She put her hands in the formation of a *T* using her body. “Just take me now,†she said sobbing. Lighting was hitting the ground. “Larxene!†Axel yelled. He ran to the living room. “Larxene’s trying to kill herself!†he yelled while running. Zexion and Roxas got up from the couch immediately and started t run behind Axel. Once they opened up the doors, she was still in the same spot. “Larxene! He yelled. She was a long distance away. Halfway there, she was struck by the lightning “NO!!!!!!†Axel yelled while running with his hand in front if him. What has Larxene done to herself? Did Ariel know this was going to happen? Did she do the right thing? Kill herself after the others have already suffered from Demyx’s death… What do you think?? Give me your opinion.
