|x|Kingdom Hearts: Into the Void|

"You've not even known me two hours yet and you think that we mix well," she wrinkled her nose as she thought upon that. "I am sorry that I bring back memories you do not wish for. I had always thought that perhaps it was easiest to talk upon those things, but obviously my hypothesis was incorrect..." She turned her head to see him walking towards a closed door. Well then again she should say yet another closed door because there wasn't much but those in this manor anyways.

 

A white sheen passed over Serenity's eyes as she looked into the room. The little boy kicking his feet back and forth as a girl doodled on a notepad, "Stop moving!" A sigh, "Aren't you done yet?" She rushed into the room and placed her hands on the back of a dusty gothic chair. The thought rushed through her mind again, 'He was here, the boy, he was here.' She allowed her eyes to scan over everything in the room, but no more memories came back, "I have to go." She turned towards the door, "I'm sorry but I have to go."

 

"No, I've got to....alone!" She was shaking her head, the image was fading fast, she couldn't remember. 'The girl!' her mind screamed, 'the girl!' But it was gone, she could no more remember what the girl looked like or sounded like. Peircing blue eyes, the little boy had lost his curls, he was older.Serenity held her head in her hands and shook violently. Her long braid was tossed about carlessly and her many earings were jingling lightly. The tattoos were swirling and moving about as if nervous and anxious now. "Can't," she murmured, "have to go." She wrenched her eyes open and turned back to the door and slowed when she saw faint scratches embedded into the door.
She cocked her head to the right as she walked closer and she gently pressed her fingers against them and then brought her other hand to her jaw where there were engraved three matching cuts.

 

"NO!" She cried out indignantly her fingers clinging tightly to the door. Her body reacted by sending increasing pain throughout her, A filthy black nail. Curled about an inch from the tip of the finger and filed to a sharp sadistic point. It stabbed into her jaw. Slowly torturously it was dragged deep down her face and shoved in deeper as it went along. Burning Pain. Angry, Blistering Agony. Fire. There's a fire, somebody put it out! Serenity crumpled onto the floor, not a sound escaping her lips as the pain that she felt in her fragmented of memories became real. The tattoos were strangling her, Remember me? A voice whispered into her mind, "I'm not finished with you yet."

 

As fast as the attack had come over her it seemed to leave. A fourth, bloody line joined the previous three as Serenity's ruby eyes rolled back to their normal positions in her skull. Her eyes were halfway lidded as her tattoos went back to slithering about her porclein skin and she slowly lifted her hand to press against her cheek, "S...A..." Her eyebrows knitted together, "There is more...Why can't I remember?" She looked into the sun and all she could see was the nail digging in without any remorse.

 

The sun was burning her skin, literally. Her flesh that was overly exposed was beginning to turn a blackish tint. Serenity stood and walked and pressed her back against the wall. "I don't know what happened, all I know is that right now I have to get back into the forest," she whispered. Her fingers pressed into the crevices of the wall and she began to carefully pull herself up.

 

She wrapped her hand around his and lead him deeper into the forest. She listened carefully for the bubbling of a stream and walked towards it. They came to a small clearing where her bag sat beside a bow made of complete silver and a matching quiver with arrows made from the same metal. Serenity releases his hand and reaches into her bag and pulled out a silvery black cloak and wrapped it around her shoulders. She pulled the hood over her head and notched an arrow into the bow, "Something is coming."

 

"If I knew, I wouldn't still be looking for the answers." She closed her eyes for a moment and when they reopened instead of the iris' being blood red they were like graphite. The color of the tattoos had also switched with her eyes. They slithered quickly, around and around, faster, faster, angsty and anxious. They desired to kill. Swiftly! NO, slow and torturously allowing the blood to drain from gouges all over their bodies. Kill. KILL! Serenity shook her head for a moment and refocused allowing her dark magic to gain power on the head of her arrow.

She noticed him move involuntarily with his keyblade, "Are you alright?" A breath as the voice filled her mind, "I'm not finished with you yet.. She continued on as if she weren't hearing a creepy voice echoing throughout her head, "Remember, the keyblade is an extension of yourself. Don't let it control you, otherwise you will be weak and powerless. It is an instrument, not a living being..."'I think'

 

Xigbar chuckled darkly as he noticed that Demyx was acting upon this fake emotions. "You can do anything if you put your mind into it. Like the other lesser nobodies scattered across lands, you lack something. But I am not going to tell you what that is. Axel is a traitor enough said. What makes you think he is even worth to be in our ranks again?If you don't kill him, then the other lessers will. It is by instinct of course." The elder member taunted.

Axel refused to look at the other lesser nobodies who somehow thought he was betraying them. Of course he couldn't reason with them, they were too stupid and only followed orders. If it could of been worse he saw his own Assassins just watching the display as the dusks jumped at him and tried to tackle him. Other groups of stronger kind were attacking as well. Including the Berserker, Sorcerors, Samurai, and etc. Even though terribly fatigued the fire nobody knew he was fighting for surivival. There was no chance of an escape with them surrounding him, a portal could not be summoned without a distraction. "Who sent you to come after me?" He twirled his own chakrams and began fighting with his life depended on it. Half of them were already annihiated. "Maybe I should of stayed at Twlight Town, it was safer." He thought to himself.

 

Demyx shook his head at how Xigbar had protrayed Axel. "No you're wrong. He wants a heart like we all do, but there is something else. I guess he feels more alive than any of us. Axel may show signs he can't be trusted, but I have always looked up to him in more ways than one. He's a great guy." He turned his back on the older member, his arms crossed and mad at himself for the arguement he and Axel had earlier. "You may not see it, but I do."

Cloud was growing tired of the search. It had been a long day of fighting and merely suriviing. "How about we just call it a night? We can research more about these things tomorrow."
