This will probably be THE LONGEST chapter i will ever write for this story! Enjoy! :) ~Chapter 6~ ~~~Wednesday~~~ Axel opened his eyes and stretched. It was morning. He looked around to find that he had fallen asleep on the sofa. Wait! He thought, we fell asleep! He quickly felt his neck for any bite marks. He could feel none. On the sofa opposite to him was Zexion, who was still sleeping. Axel walked over to him. From what he could see, Zexion had no bite marks. He shook him roughly. “Zexion, wake up!” He said. Zexion opened his eyes abruptly and sat up. He stretched, looking at Axel. “What?” he asked. “We fell asleep out here.” Axel said. Zexion looked around. He was right. Then his eyes got wide. “We fell asleep! We could’ve got bitten!” he said, scared. He then felt his neck for the mark. “You don’t have it; I checked.” He said, sitting down on the sofa next to Zexion. “What about everyone else?” Zexion asked. Just then, Vexen walked down the stairs and into the living room. “Good morning, guys!” He said cheerfully. Zexion and Axel rushed up to him. “Did you fall asleep?” Axel asked. Vexen thought for a moment. “I guess I did.” “Did you get bitten?” Zexion asked. Vexen ran his hand against his neck. He shook his head. “Hope. Doesn’t seem like it.” Luxord walked down the stairs into the living room groggily. “Well, I hope you guys all had pleasant nights.” He said bitterly. “This morning I woke up, on the floor! I don’t even remember how I got there.” Axel and Zexion exchanged nervous looks as Zexion walked over to Luxord. He took a quick look at him, and then put his head over his face in frustration. “Oh smoof…” he said. They all looked at him in confusion. Zexion looked up at them. “He’s been bitten.” Luxord’s jaw dropped. “WHAT?” He yelled. Then, he started muttering something—curses and gibberish—under his breath. Then, he stormed up the stairs. Zexion, Axel, and Vexen listened as they heard a door slam upstairs. Vexen turned towards Axel and Zexion. “So now what do we do?” he asked. Zexion started to think. Axel tried to think as well, but then he noticed something. “Hey, did anyone notice that we haven’t seen Larxene, Roxas, or Demyx for a while?” he asked. Vexen looked up. “You’re right…” he said. “Vexen, you check for Larxene. Axel, you check for Roxas, and I’ll check for Demyx.” Zexion said. They all nodded, and ran off… +++ Vexen walked up to Larxene’s room. He looked around for her. She wasn’t there. He was about to leave when he noticed a dartboard on the wall, with something tacked to it with a dart. He walked over to it and looked. It was a picture of him! Vexen angrily snatched the picture off and crumpled it up. He turned to leave, when he noticed a note on Larxene’s pillow. He picked it up and began to read to himself… +++ Axel ran up to Roxas’ room. The door was closed. He knocked loudly on the door. “Roxas? Roxas, you in there?” he said. After receiving no response, Axel walked in. His room was the way it always was—messy. He looked around and, after seeing no Roxas, he turned to leave. But, as he reached for the doorknob, he noticed a note taped to the back of the door. “What’s this?” Axel said to himself as he pulled the note off. His mouth dropped as he read the note… +++ Zexion walked up to Demyx’ room. He knocked twice—Zexion’s signature knock. No one answered the door, so Zexion walked in. He took a step and tripped over something. He looked and realized it was a pair of Demyx’s shoes. He looked around the room. It was a mess! Zexion stood up and began to walk out the door. He almost tripped over some of Demyx’s junk, and to stabilize himself, he grabbed a nearby end table. His hand rested on a crumpled note. Zexion picked it up and skimmed it… +++ The three of them met back in the kitchen. “Look! I found this in Roxas’ room!” Axel said, holding up a note. Zexion held up his. “So did I.” He said. Vexen showed his. “And so did I!” he exclaimed. Zexion read his aloud: “It is time I return to Kingdom Hearts, my true home. The dark is awaiting my return, and so is the light. I shall be back, to take you with me. Join me. Do not fret. Do not fight back. Us Vampire Nobodies must stay together. Alone, we are powerless. But together, we are strong… I will be back… We’ll go together… ---Demyx” Zexion looked up. “That’s what it says on mine, except its signed ‘Roxas’.” Axel said. Vexen nodded. “Doubtless they’ll be back tonight.” He said. “Well, we’re no longer tired, so it should be easy for us to stay awake.” Axel said. They all nodded. +++ It was 12:09 a.m. The three Nobodies (Marluxia insisted he had other things to do) sat in the Kitchen, waiting. Vexen stood up. “I’m going to the library. Anyone who’d like to join me?” he asked. Zexion and Axel looked at each other, and then back at Vexen, shaking their heads. Vexen shrugged. “Suit yourselves.” He said, walking off upstairs. +++ I wonder what I’ll read today…Vexen thought. Perhaps a science-fiction novel? Vexen walked up another flight of stairs, making his way to the end of the hall where the library was. He reached the door and was about to open it when he heard someone talking. Marluxia? No, it couldn’t be. He was on an entirely different floor. Besides, the voice belonged to a girl. He walked over to a partially cracked door, leading to the main meeting room. Through the gap, he could see Larxene, Roxas, Demyx, and Luxord sitting on the table in the room. They were listening intently to whatever someone was saying. The person walked closer to the group of Nobodies, and Vexen could see her clearly. She was about the same age as Roxas, give or take a year. She had pale rose-colored hair that went to her shoulders. She was wearing an all-white Organization-type coat. She seemed vaguely familiar. He listened as well when she began to talk. “It is time.” She said, her voice soft. “Most of you are with us now. We can go home soon.” “What about the others, Rose?” Larxene said. Oh, Vexen thought. Her name was Rose. He cocked his head. It seemed familiar. Had someone mentioned it to him? Larxene continued: “There’s still Axel, Zexion, Vexen, and, of course, Marluxia.” Roxas looked at her and smiled deviously. Vexen could see his fangs. “We can take them easily.” He said. Luxord nodded in agreement. “Especially Vexen. The guy’s a wimp.” He said. Demyx laughed in agreement. Vexen was angry now, but he shook it away. Now wasn’t the time to be mad. He could always get him back later. He listened closer. “You aren’t to make fun of him, Luxord.” Rose said. “He is family. Now listen closely: we only need one more Vampire Nobody. Whoever you can bite first, that will be it.” “What about the other two?” Demyx asked. Rose smiled. “Leave them to me.” “What do you plan on doing to them?” Roxas asked. Rose smiled again. “Let’s just say, they’ve lived a good life…” Vexen’s jaw dropped. After one more was bitten, the other two would be killed!!! “What should we do about Marluxia?” Larxene asked. “I’ll talk to my brother. I’m sure he’ll…think reasonably.” Rose said. Vexen couldn’t believe what he was hearing. The Vampire Nobody was Marluxia’s sister! Which meant only Marluxia could call her off, and end her hold over all of the others who were bitten. Vexen stood up from where he was crouching, and as he did, he hit his head on the doorknob, making noise and pushing the door open, releasing a loud noise. The Vampire Nobodies turned to see him standing there, frozen with fright. “Looks like he’s coming home as well.” Demyx said, standing up and walking towards him, along with the others. Vexen then took off running. Rose watched him run off. “Luxord,” she said, with him looking at her, “bring Vexen home.” She smiled evilly. Luxord smiled a half-smile and took off after him. Once he was gone, she turned towards Larxene. “Did you get what I told you to?” she asked. Larxene made a book appear in her hands—Zexion’s book. “I always do as I am told.” She said, handing it to her. Rose opened the book, and flipped to a page. The first spell was called ‘Fast Forward’, and the spell at the end of the page was called ‘Everlasting Moonlight’. She looked up. “Perfect.” She whispered. +++ Vexen ran as fast as he could, with Luxord close behind him. He tired to make a Corridor of Darkness, but couldn’t make one since he was running. Suddenly, an enormous card blocked his path. Vexen stopped. He was trapped. Luxord walked closer to him. “Come, Vexen.” He said, stepping towards him. Vexen put his back against the wall, desperately trying to focus long enough to summon a portal. But he was too scared. Luxord smiled, revealing his fangs. “We’ll go together…” +++ Axel and Zexion were still at the kitchen table, playing hangman on a piece of paper, trying to occupy themselves. “Where’s Vexen?” Axel said. “He usually comes back with a book.” Zexion shook his head. “I’m sure he’s—“ “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” A scream could be heard upstairs. “VEXEN!” Both Axel and Zexion shouted in unison as they ran from the table and up the stairs… +++ When they reached the upstairs hall, they saw Vexen on the ground, his back against the wall. They ran over to him. “Vexen!” Axel said, kneeling next to him. Vexen looked up at him. He couldn’t focus his eyes, and were straining to keep them open. Axel could see the bite mark on his neck. “Axel…Zexion…” Vexen said slowly, trying to speak. He seemed to be in pain. “What is it?” Zexion asked, hoping Vexen would keep talking. Vexen closed his eyes, and then opened them again. I must keep from changing…Vexen thought. They need to know what I heard… “Rose…Marluxia…Kingdom Hearts…” Vexen said with great difficultly. “What are you talking about?” Axel said. Vexen took a breath. He had to get this out. “Marluxia’s sister…” “Marluxia has a sister?” Zexion said surprised. Vexen nodded slowly. “Vampire Nobody…Rose…Marluxia’s sister…Vampire Nobody…” Both Axel and Zexion’s eyes grew wide. “Marluxia’s sister is the Vampire Nobody???” they both yelled. Vexen laid his head back against the wall. “You two…dead…run…leave…” He said, looking at them. “Go…NOW! We’ll…we’ll…” “What?? We’re going to die?” Axel asked. Vexen closed his eyes. He seemed more relaxed. He laughed—a laugh that wasn’t his own. He opened his eyes. They were now white with pale rose-colored cat eye pupils. “We’ll go together…” he whispered.
