I awoke with my head pounding. Ugh..my head hurts so much. I place a hand on my forehead. What the heck happened back there? My blurred vision cleared into showing a figure in front of me. Who was that? Someone with pink..hair..and why do I smell roses?
"You shouldn't move too quickly, little one. That was quite a hard hit you took back there."
I blinked a few times. It was a guy? Man..I must have hit my head pretty had. He started to chuckle a little at me.
"Is there something the matter, little one? You look confused about something."
I look to the side, feeling my face burn up a bit. I must be blushing like crazy right now. "I uh..um..nothing. Never mind."
He shook his head at me but still smiled. "Is that so? Hmn..no matter. What is your name, child?"
I swallowed my breath. For some unknown reason, I felt extremely nervous taking with him. Maybe it was because he was sitting next to me so close or was it because of the way he spoke to me? I mentally shrugged my shoulders and I spoke to him with my voice shaking with unspoken nervousness "My..n-name is Angel."
He lightly pushed a few strands of violet hair away from my face while looking at me with his calm Sapphire eyes. "Angel you say? That is a beautiful name you have, Angel. You may call me Marluxia."
I slowly sat up and realized that I was on a bed; a really soft bed at that. I pushed myself up and leaned against the wall while looking at Marluxia with my head tilted to the side. "Um..where am I?"
Marluxia smiled and stood up, making his black cloak twirl around him while he moved. "You, my dear Angel, are in Castle Oblivion." He gives me a bow with both of his arms at either side of him and his head down."I would like to formally welcome you to our home, Angel."
I blinked at him, slightly confused. "Our? Does anyone else live here?"
He gave me a nod. "Indeed. There are others. You will meet them soon enough. For now, I think it would be wise for you to get some rest. Once you get some sleep, I shall introduce you to the others that reside here."
"Um..okay."
I lay back down on the white sheets and watched him leave the room, closing the door quietly behind him my eyes slowly closed…taking me into a deep sleep. While I slept, I had the weirdest dream ever.
~~ I watched from afar as someone who looked like me, sitting on a stone bench inside Marluxia's garden. Waiting for someone...or something. I couldn't really tell. But something inside me was making me feel like it was important for me to be here. Something amazing was about to happen. I could feel it inside my heart. Then Marluxia appeared behind my image moments later, just standing behind me with a grin while he looked at me. I placed a hand over my heart for I feel it skip a few beats. My image looks around the room, obviously thinking about whatever the event may be for me to be here. Marluxia then speaks to my image, addressing me in his calm voice, making my image turns around and blushes in response.
Then a bright light flashed in front of me, blinding my vision. I covered my eyes with an arm over them. Is light supposed to burn? Well, it certainly felt like it did. Ugh…stupid light. I slowly move my arm away from my eyes slowly to find myself surrounded by darkness. Hn? What is going on here? I look around the darkness and see so much nothingness...and I feel so cold. Suddenly, I see myself standing on a blue glass floor. A calm but demanding voice then rings in the air around me.
'Tread with those of the darkness with caution. For they are not likely to give mortals the choice to live when it is a matter of life or death.'
I tilt my head to the side confused. 'What is that supposed to mean?'
A shadowed image of a female appears in front of me with her arms crossed. 'Marluxia is a Nobody, a being that lives in the darkness. If you continue the path that you are on…then you will end up like me, Angel.'
I blink a few times confused. 'What?'
Her golden eyes narrow at me. I can feel the unspoken hatred coming from her stare. ' In the end, he will choose the darkness over you. Trust me. I know. Even after he swears that he will love you to the end of days...he will use you for his personal gain. Unless you can find a way to convince him to not take you back home...you will be like me. This will be your fate. To live in the darkness for the rest of our miserable existence as a slave…his slave.'
Before I get a chance to speak again, she raises her hands out in front of her, pushing me back with a strong wind...pushing me off of the glass floor and into the darkness. I fell into the mist of darkness for what seemed like forever until I wake up with a cold sharp feeling burning though out my body.~~
I quickly sit up on the bed with my hand over my chest. What the heck was that about? Would I really be his slave? He didn't seem like the type of person that would do such a thing…would he? I look around the room and notice a small window to the right of me. I lean over a little and look outside. There was nothing but darkness. Wow. Complete darkness. I wonder how that is even possible..
A soft knock at the door sounds, taking me out of my thoughts and daydreaming. I turn towards the door. "Yes?"
The door slowly creeks open with a short brunet peering over the door. "Hey, are you awake?" he asked softly.
I smiled and nodded. "Of course I'm awake. I answered you, didn't I?"
He walked in the room a little more and hits the side of his own head. "Oh yeah. Sorry."
I shook my head at him."Its alright. My name is Angel."
He gave me a smile in return and waved at me. "I'm Demyx! Nice to meet ya', Angel."
I giggled at him. There was something about him that made me laugh. I wasn't quite sure what it was though. His smile widened as he walked closer to me. "Well, Marly said that there was a pretty lady resting here but I didn't believe him but now that I saw you..I believe him now. There's only two other girls here and neither of them are as petty as you."
I blink at him in surprise. "Do..you mean Marluxia? He said that about me?"
Demyx nodded. "Yup! But I'm not supposed to tell you so..shh." he said as he placed a gloved finger against his lips.
I gave him a nod while blushing. I can't believe that Marluxia thinks that I look pretty…or anyone to think that for any matter. No one has ever told me that.
Demyx comes up to me and pokes my arm. "Do you wanna take a look around with me? I'm bored."
"Uh..sure."
"Yay! I don't think Marly will mind if I take you around a bit. Follow me, Angel."
He takes my hand and pulls me up from the bed, making the skirt of my dress fly around my feet. I almost forgot that I had this wedding dress on. If I don't hold onto the edges of the skirt, I might fall on my face…again. I follow behind Demyx while he leads me through the garden and out into the hallway. Hopefully the other people that live here in Castle Oblivion are as nice as Marluxia and Demyx. I don't want to have anyone hate me. That's the last thing I would want to happen.
A/N:Alrighty. That's all for this chapter. :3 I hope it was wroth the wait. Please don't forget to R&R. Thanks.
