~Chapter 8~

~~~Saturday Night~~~

Axel ran through the halls of the Castle. He was searching for Roxas.
“Roxas!†He called. “ROXAS!!!†Axel ran faster. He knew that, with all of the yelling he was doing, he was sure to attract one of the Vampire Nobodies. But he didn’t care. Roxas, his BEST friend, the one who made him feel like he had a heart, was in danger—he had to help him before he had to hurt him. He didn’t want that… Axel then passed Marluxia’s room. He looked in to see Marluxia sitting by his window. He was alone. Zexion must still be looking for him…Axel thought. He walked in.
“Marluxia?†he said quietly. Marluxia glanced at him a second before turning back to stare out of the window. Axel walked up behind him.
“Why are you here?†Marluxia asked, before Axel had a chance to say anything.
“I want to talk to you.†Axel said.
“Talk.†Marluxia demanded. Axel took a breath.
“Look, I know she’s your sister, but you can’t let that stop you from protecting others.†He said. Marluxia glared at him.
“I can’t protect anyone.â€
“Yes you can!†Axel said. He sat down next to Marluxia. “Marluxia, what’s happened? You seem so…different. The Marluxia I know would’ve done something by now. If this was any other Vampire Nobody, then you would’ve—“
“But she isn’t any other Vampire Nobody!!†Marluxia yelled, standing up. “This is my sister!â€
“But we’re your friends!â€
“So?†Marluxia snapped. Axel looked down at the ground, then outside of the window. Marluxia could see hurt in his eyes. Marluxia sighed.
“I didn’t mean it like that.†He sat down again. Axel looked at him. “Some thing happened…and…now I’m not even sure I could protect myself.â€
“You could talk about it…I’m listening.†Axel said. Marluxia couldn’t help but chuckle at how much Axel sounded like a therapist. But he nodded. Marluxia took a pained breath.

~FLASHBACK~

Rose still stood there, scared stiff. The Heartless raised its orb. Miluara got to his feet. He promised he’d be there to protect her—and he would.
“ROSE!†He yelled running towards her as fast as he could.

The Heartless raised the orb higher…

He ran faster…

Her eyes…frozen white…

He ran faster…

Orb released…

He ran faster…

Coming closer…

He pushed her…

Orb hit…

Terrible, pained scream…

Lying…there…

Beast laughed…satisfied…

“Miluara!!†Rose screamed as she found the strength in her sick body to rise to her feet and run towards her brother, who was now lying where she had been standing. She fell to her knees next to him. His eyes were closed—his face expressionless. She shook him gently.
“Miluara!†She said. He opened his eyes slowly and looked up at her. Rose…was okay…he tried to smile, but couldn’t. He felt himself…slipping away. Rose didn’t cry for her brother—it would only make him sad. Miluara smiled on the inside. Brave…he thought. He didn’t know what was happening. He expected to feel as if he was dying. But he didn’t feel that way—he only felt as if part of him was leaving—he felt lighter. He could feel himself fading into darkness. He couldn’t feel…not the ground, not the wind, not her love. The Heartless beast came closer. Taking only his heart didn’t satisfy it—it wanted hers too. Rose stood in front of her brother.
“This time…I’ll protect you.†She whispered. Miluara tried to sit up. He couldn’t let her do this—he’d protect her—but he couldn’t move. The beast prepared another orb. Rose stood there fearlessly. Something inside of her was cold—she could feel it. Her breathing halted for a second, but then continued. She knew—the sickness was taking her…
“No!†She shouted. “Not yet…I need to help Miluara!†Her breath became shorter. She almost stumbled back. Miluara could see—she was now dying. He wanted to get up—to hold her in his arms as she died. He wanted to hold her hand, kiss her cheek—tell her that he loved her too. But he could do none of that—he couldn’t feel anything. The beast shot the orb at her—it struck her directly, knocking her over. The Heartless laughed—it disappeared. She lay where she was—she could feel herself fading—fading and dying. She summoned enough strength to stand up, and stumble over to her brother. She collapsed by his side. She lay down next to him. She stared up at the sky, which seemed to grow darker. She looked at him—his eyes were closed. She smiled weakly.

“I’m here, Miluara…†she said, taking his hand in hers. Her breath weakened.

“We’ll…†her breath stopped, for a moment. She closed her eyes. With her last, dying breath, she whispered:

“We’ll go together…â€

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Another tear slid down Marluxia’s face. He didn’t bother to turn his head to conceal it. He looked up at Axel.
“I let her die.†He said. “I let my little sister die.†Axel put his hand on his shoulder.
“I…I know it’s…†Axel tried to find comforting words to say. But there was none. Nothing he could ever say would help Marluxia’s broken heart…

Zexion was wandering the halls on the third floor of the Castle. He was searching for Marluxia. He wondered why Marluxia seemed so upset…maybe he’d tell him. He looked into a room—the main meeting room. He saw no one there. He was about to leave when he heard the swish of someone’s Organization coat. He could’ve promised it had come from the meeting room. He walked in and looked around—no one was here.

Click.

Zexion turned around to see that the door had closed. He walked slowly over to it to open it again. Suddenly, a hand wrapped around his mouth, and another hand grabbed his wrists, holding them together. He struggled to get out of his captor’s grasp, but failed. He heard laughter—strange but sweet—he recognized it.
“Hello, Zexion.†Rose said. Zexion tried to yell, but it came out muffled. She laughed again. She moved closer to his ear, to his neck. He could feel her warm breath on his neck.
“Now now, Zexion. You shouldn’t make too much noise…†she said. “You wouldn’t want Axel to hear you, and come up here to help you, now would you?†Zexion glared at her. Rose sighed, smiling deviously. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see her fangs. “I mean, sure, make all the noise you want. For as soon as he comes up here…†She snapped her fingers. Roxas appeared through his portal. He had the Vampire Nobody eyes. He walked over to the door and leaned against a wall near it. Rose moved closer to Zexion’s ear.
“We’ll be waiting…†she whispered. Zexion’s eyes became wide. He feared for Axel’s safety. They were close friends, and he didn’t want Axel to get hurt. Rose let go of Zexion’s mouth and wrists. He stood there quietly. Rose walked around so she was facing him.
“What do you want from me?†Zexion asked quietly. Rose smiled evilly. “Do you want me to become a Vampire Nobody?â€
“No.†she said. “We don’t need another—you and Axel are no longer needed.†She said, advancing towards him. Zexion didn’t move. She tightly grabbed the collar of his coat and roughly pulled him closer to her. Their eyes met. “Zexion…†she said. As she said his name, the pale rose-colored cay eye pupils of her eyes changed to a furious fuchsia color.
“We won’t go together…â€
+++
By this time, Axel had left Marluxia and went looking for Roxas again. He tried to convince Marluxia to come with him, but couldn’t. Axel stopped in his tracks.

Something—a feeling perhaps?—had told Axel that something was wrong. That someone was in trouble…Zexion? Axel shook his head. Zexion would be all right. But, the nagging feeling came again. He closed his eyes. No, he thought, Zexion was in trouble. He opened his eyes and ran up another flight of stairs, in search of Zexion.

Zexion…he thought, hold on…
+++
Rose had brought her fangs closer to his neck. If Zexion had a heart, he promised himself that this would be the part where he’d die of fright.
“Any last words?†Rose asked softly. Zexion looked at the ground.
“Leave Axel alone.†He said. She laughed.
“Sorry, can’t do that…†She said. “But, I can do this…†She snapped her fingers again. Roxas nodded and yelled:

“Axel! I’m up here, in the main meeting room! Help!!!â€
+++
Axel heard the yell.
“Roxas?†He called out. He then started to run towards the main meeting room.
+++
Zexion’s face was pale. Axel would come up here, and get killed. Zexion glared evilly at Rose.
“You…â€he growled through clenched teeth. Rose laughed, amused. Zexion looked up.
“AXEL! DON’T COME IN!!! IT’S A TRICK!!!†he yelled. He had to get Axel to leave…
+++
Axel heard Zexion’s yell. He couldn’t make out what he was saying, but he soed like he was in trouble…
“I’M COMING ZEXION!!!†he yelled, and ran towards the room faster.
+++
Rose laughed again.
“He’s still coming!†she said. She looked at him with her fuchsia and white eyes. “It’s time to let go, Zexion…†Zexion looked up. He had to try again…
“AXEL! NO! LEAVE!!! DON—“

He was cut off by a terrible, sharp, stinging pain in his neck. He resisted screaming—he had to get Axel to leave, and him screaming out in pain didn’t help. Rose had bitten Zexion’s neck with her razor-sharp Vampire Nobody fangs. It felt as if someone had stabbed his neck with two knives. His vision blurred. He saw black. He felt cold.

And then nothing.

~Chapter 7~

~~~Wednesday Night~~~

Vexen suddenly got up and lunged at Zexion. He tackled him and pinned him to the floor.
“We’ll go together, Zexion…” he said. He was about to bite his neck when one of Axel’s Chakrams struck Vexen and knocked him off. Axel ran over to Zexion and pulled him up off the ground, and they began to run down the hall.
“Where are we running?” Zexion shouted, still running.
“To Marluxia’s room.” Axel answered back. They ran to Marluxia’s door, yanked it open, and ran inside. Once inside they locked the door. Marluxia got up from his desk and looked at them strangely.
“What are you—“
“We’ve got a problem!” Axel said, cutting Marluxia off.
“The Vampire Nobody is your sister!” Zexion said. Marluxia looked at him as if he were crazy.
“What’s wrong with you?” He said. “And how did you find out about her?” Axel shook his head.
“It doesn’t matter. Vexen told us. He must have heard it from Roxas or someone." Marluxia crossed his arms.
“I don’t find you joking about my sister funny.” He said. Zexion looked exasperated.
“We’re telling the truth! The Vampire Nobody IS your sister!” he said.
“She must have come because you miss her.” Axel said. Marluxia shook his head.
“Impossible. She…” Marluxia sighed. “…Died.” He said, forcing himself to say it.
“Well, she’s back, and she plans to kill us, and probably kill you too!” Axel said. Zexion looked at Marluxia.
“You’ve got to call her off.” He said.
“How do I do that?” Marluxia asked.
“You have to stop missing her! You have to stop wanting to see her.” Axel said.
“I’ll NEVER do that!” Marluxia yelled. Zexion walked over to him
“Calm down! Maybe if tried forgiving yourself for wanting to see her…” Marluxia pushed Zexion away.
“I don’t regret wanting to see her! I have nothing to feel sorry for, except for letting her die.” Marluxia yelled. He walked toward the door, but before opening it, he turned to face Axel and Zexion.
“Maybe she was meant to be here. Maybe this was all meant to happen. Fate works like that.”
“Marluxia! Are you even listening to yourself?” Zexion yelled. “You are letting your friends down! They are getting HURT!!! Don’t you care?” Marluxia turned so that his back was towards them.
“Don’t you?” He asked. He opened the door. “I won’t give her up for my friends. Blood is thicker than water.” Axel sighed angrily.
“We’re NOBODIES! We are neither blood nor water!!” Marluxia laughed.
“Then why should it matter?” He walked out of the door. Zexion sighed.
“We’ll have to kill her. It’s the only way to save the others.” He said. Axel looked up at Zexion.
“I understand what Marluxia is feeling. I know what it’s like to lose someone close.” Zexion looked at Axel. Axel looked back at him. He smiled. “But I’d never let a memory lose out to you guys.”
“Never?” Zexion asked.
“Never.” Just then, the ground shook.

“It is time!!!” A voice boomed. Axel and Zexion ran outside—where the voice sounded like it was coming from. A girl appeared in front of them. She reminded them of Marluxia.
“Who are you?” Axel demanded. She laughed. Strangely, yet sweetly.
“My name is Rose. Perhaps you know my brother.”
“Marluxia?” Zexion asked.
“Yes.” She replied. Axel summoned his Chakrams. Zexion tried to summon his book, but couldn’t.
“Looking for this?” she asked, summoning his book. Zexion’s eyes got wide.
“Give that back!” He shouted, running towards her. Holding the book in one hand, she lifted her other one and pointed at Zexion.
“Rose storm!” she shouted, and a huge gale of rose petals and thorns came towards him.
“Deflect!” Zexion shouted.
“Reverse deflect!” she shouted. The gale rushed towards Zexion and knocked him back 5 yards. He stood up. He had no idea she knew that spell.
“Rose binds, briar thorns of size, hold fast, and paralyze!” Rose shouted. A dense group of thorny vines wrapped tightly around Axel and Zexion. Axel tried burning them away with blasts of fire, but the vines wouldn’t budge. She laughed again as she walked up towards the two.
“This is where it all ends.” She said, “It’s time to come home.” She laughed again. “But not for you two…” She looked at the book in her hands, and then closed it after a moment. She knew what she was going to do. She held the book out to Zexion.
“You want it back?” she asked.
“YES!” Zexion shouted.
“Very well.” She blew on the book. As she did, rose petals blew off of it. Zexion and Axel watched in awe and in horror as they watched a perfectly normal and solid book blew away in hundreds of petals. She smiled. Her fangs showed.
“Cool, huh?” she said. Then, she raised her hands.
“What are you doing?” Axel asked. She looked at him.
“Performing a combined spell.” She said. “If you liked that petal trick, you’ll love this…” A combined spell? Zexion thought, I can’t even do that and I’ve been studying for years! She raised her arms and began to recite from memory:

“Moonlit freedom, fast forward time. To Saturday time, to moon risen rhyme. Let the pale moon’s glow everlasting, in vision of the Vampire wing. For the full moon lives, let it live, let it thrive, let it grow and revive. Let the sunlight die, let moonlight breathe: Let the twists of time bend and allow this to be:

MOONSHINE FOREVER!!!”

As soon as she was done, the land around everyone spun. A day past, another past, and another past. Three days flied by in less than 10 seconds! The moon changed into a full moon and froze there. Rose turned towards Axel and Zexion. She snapped her fingers and the briars around them snapped and fell to the ground, freeing them.
“I’ll be back for you two later.” She smiled, again showing her fangs, reminding them of what was after them. “But I wonder who’ll be first…” she then vanished. Zexion looked at Axel.
“We need to find Roxas.” Axel looked at him.
“Why? He’s Vampire Nobody now.”
“He’s still your best friend at heart. Maybe if you talk to him, he’d remember.”
“Maybe it’ll work…” Axel said. He and Roxas were best friends, and it worried Axel terribly that he was a Vampire Nobody. “How about I go look for Roxas, and you go look for Marluxia.”
“Why?” Zexion asked.
“Maybe you can talk some sense into him.” Axel said, before running off. Zexion ran off as well.
+++
Marluxia was looking outside of his window, watching the moon. He didn’t notice the change. He closed his eyes.
“Rose…”

~FLASHBACK~

Today was the day—the day the doctor had predicted he’d lose Rose forever. Miluara was with his sister outside. She begged him to let her go outside—she hadn’t been outside in months, and she loved to be outdoors. He took her outside, to her favorite place—their rose garden. Miluara had always thought of it as ‘girly’, but his sister had taken care of for them for them. All of her roses were colorful, healthy, and beautiful. She claimed to be able to talk to the roses, to know what they wanted. He always thought she was so silly. He loved that about her. They walked through the garden. Miluara had to help her walk sometimes, because she’d feel somewhat tired. But for the most part she insisted on walking on her own. She looked up at him.
“Miluara?” she asked.
“Yeah?”
“Would you please take care of my roses for me?” Miluara almost lost it. She had always been very protective of her garden, never letting anyone take care of them. But her asking him to take care of them almost made him cry. It was more real than ever—she was going to die. Miluara nodded.
“Yeah. I’ll take real good care of them.” He said. Rose hugged him.
“I love you, Miluara.” She said. He ruffled her soft hair. All of the sudden, a huge Heartless beast rose from the ground. Miluara stood in front of Rose to protect her. The Heartless attacked. Miluara charged at it and kicked it. It flew back a foot. It charged again. This time, catching him off guard, knocking him to the side. It advanced towards his sister. She stood there, scared stiff. It reared up a glowing orb of power and was about to throw it.
“NOOOOO!!!!!” Miluara screamed…

~END OF FLASH BACK~

“NO!” Marluxia yelled. He looked around, realizing that it was only a memory. He put his head in his hands.
“I’m sorry…”
