RECYCLED BEGINNING, BUT SHE'S TELLING HER STORY AFTER ALL. HUR DUR.

Chapter Thirty: Epilogue

I walked along the streets of Twilight Town, and it was a normal, peaceful day like always. The sounds of innocent children laughing as they played, and teenagers talking about when they would get the chance to go to the beach. Adults talking about the hot days in Twilight Town, and the sun glimmering through the trees.

Twilight Town was something of a memory for me, as it always held the innocent times I had with them. and of course... with him.

I stopped walking, and I looked up. I saw the clock tower, and my shoulders dropped. I entered, and I walked up the stairs to the top of the clock tower. I looked at the town, such beauty held such a deep secret. A town in between that which is dark, and that which is light.

A soft breeze blew through the town. The wind flowed through the people and the buildings, and for a moment... it almost felt bittersweet. The problems that arose, and how we had to resolute them felt like it was just yesterday. In those times... everything felt perfect.

But then, the paradise that I felt myself in was suddenly torn down by the people whom I once called my allies. I was like a puppet, blindly following orders without questioning them. A dog who couldn't do anything but rely on her master. It was sickening to even think about it.

They tried so hard not to reveal the truth about me, but in the end, it proved useless. When I found out, I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where to go, or what I should be thinking. But the one person who I trusted reassured me that everything would be alright, and I trusted her.

I realized that relying on other people was what really destroyed me. I took it in my own hands to figure things out, and to find and protect what I needed to look for. Throughout those times, I had grown. Not just physically, but mentally, too. Everything that I thought was right turned into something evil and terrifying, and I wanted out of it.

They told me that nobodies don't posses a heart, and thus, can't have feelings. But I had always disagreed with them. Sometimes, those with no hearts can still bear emotions.

While being unaware of everything around me, that is what I believed. But now, I might not be so sure. My belief in it was thinning ever so slowly, and I'm trying so hard to find a reason to believe it.

But in the end, I feared Saix was right all along. Since we nobodies once had the ability to feel emotions, it was easy for us to fake them. But I want to believe in the opposite.

I want to believe that we, too, can bear emotions.

I looked down at the town again, and sighed. Not much has changed about it, and i liked that. Change was something that I never really liked, anyways. I placed my hands on my hips, and closed my eyes as I stretched my shoulders. I took a deep breath, and opened them. Today was the start of something new, and I had changed everything about me. I could no longer smile, no longer laugh, and no longer feel anything happy. But, then again, all that was taken from me.

Head to the old Mansion, and DiZ will fill you in on some things.
You might not like what he has to say, but bear with him.
You will also see Riku, however, I should warn you.
He has changed.

The last time I saw Riku was when I did that mission to check out the mansion, life seemed pretty simple then. Stella told me she had to cut those memories from me, since they would have been a loophole for me. She wanted me to grow and hate the organization, and it worked.

I hate them with everything I have, and I won't rest until each and every one of them are down under. But what about Axel? He was still my friend, and I didn't want to harm him. Except for maybe a punch or a kick to show him never to hide secrets from me.

Anyways, I teleported myself to the mansion, and I made my way into the basement. I opened the door, and there appeared DiZ, and a man in a coat that I once worse. The Organization's coat, who was most likely Riku.

"DiZ," I said as I crossed my arms. He turned around, with his arms placed behind his back. Riku also turned around, and he was wearing the hood of the coat.

"I still can't believe she took this long to make you see the truth," said DiZ as he turned around. "But nonetheless, I shall use you to whatever extent I may."

I scoffed, and crossed my arms, this guy was serious about not liking Nobodies. It was noticeable, and disturbing. Regardless, I walked towards one of the computers that were in the room, and information on Sora was written on it.

"Stella filled me in on what Sora's going through," I said. "I know... Roxas has to belong with him in order for Sora to wake up."

"She also doesn't want Marie to be taken by the Organization," replied DiZ. "So it's your job to make sure you provide protection to both Marie, and Roxas."

I looked away, thinking about Roxas was something I didn't want to do. So many emotions felt like bursting out of me, but I had to control it. Saix said we couldn't feel, and DiZ also agreed on it. So, tell me, what had I been feeling all those days?

"Alright," I replied, looking blankly at both DiZ and Riku. "I will follow any orders you give me."

"Make sure none of the other members of the Organization get close to Marie," he said. "And make sure none of them get near Roxas. We need them both."

I nodded my head, and looked at them. Riku nodded at me, and walked past me. DiZ told me to leave, and I did. As I made my way to the entrance of the mansion, I saw Riku leaning against the wall.

"Not the same, huh?" he asked. I stared at him, and noticed his voice changed. I wondered what he looked like, but I wasn't going to pull down his hood for that. I walked a little closer to him, and I sighed.

"It never will be," I said, leaning against the wall beside him. We stood here for a moment, and let the silence sink in. I knew Riku was having problems with with the fact that his two best friends weren't here. One physically, and one mentally. And to be honest, I felt the same way. Axel wasn't here physically, and Roxas...

Well, he was gone forever to me. He wouldn't remember me at all now, but I think that's for the best. He'll go back to Sora, and he'll become whole, something that everyone at the castle wants to be.

"All those days," I heard Riku say. "All those memories... I bet you miss them."

I looked at him, and shook my head slowly while sighing. There was nothing I wouldn't do to have everything the way it was, the way it should have been. I looked into the sky, and thought about my adventures with them... with the people I once called allies, in the place I once called home.

The memories I had with Demyx, and the things he taught me. Or the times I had with Zexion, I mean, our time was so short. But those memories are still fresh... like they happened just yesterday.

Heck, I even miss the nickname Patches gave me.

But what I miss most... are the memories I had with Axel and Roxas. I can still hear the sound of the wind passing us as we laughed on top of the clock tower eating ice cream. I can still feel the hugs that I got from him... from Roxas, and I can still hear his voice... his laughter in my head.

But most of all, I can still see that sweet smile of his. And as much as I hate him, as much as I want to hit him... it doesn't change the fact that I'm going to lose him soon. Lose him forever...

I took a glimpse at Riku, and then back to the sky as I replied. "Those memories will always be with me, and they'll never leave. But those days... Now they're nothing but..."

"Nameless days."

ȶ
The end.

-Cue slow version of Sanctuary-

So, my friends. We have come to an ending. But fear not, for when there is an ending, there is always a beginning. No? Well, who cares. In this case, the ending comes with a beginning.

Thank you so much guys for having to read this monstrosity. I truly felt lost and confused during this story, and to be honest, I was making things up as the chapters went. Nameless Days wasn't planned properly, and I hate that I didn't overlook somethings.

But I did plan out New Game, and I hope you guys stay tuned for when that comes out. Honestly, I hated this story with a passion, but I'm glad you guys told me otherwise. It gave me hope to press on!

Thank you everyone who placed this story in their favourite lists, alert lists, and whatever lists they had. It truly meant a lot.

Well then, I shall start on the opening for New Game. XD

TheEspadaSisters:
Oh, I know. DX But it adds excitement. And true, I get angry and I can't think or care about anything else. Ahaha, thank you!

Lvl-ZeR0:
Thank you! I'm quite happy this is ending. I liked the ending, but I hated the whole story. LOL, weird. True, I didn't expect Xion to turn all monster. But I guess it adds the element of surprise. And haha, yeah I noticed that. I found it weird they were samurai's though. Since Roxas controls them, and that would mean he's sending his own Nobodies to attack him.

Captainface:
Lol, nothing is ever happy in my stories. And I felt indifferent to it, really. Just like how Aeries died. I just did not care, all I wanted was to level up. AND KILL SEPHIROTH. BECAUSE HE IS AWESOME. Heh, then Roxas would never leave the group. LOL, she stole it from Seifer. I love it. XD

starlightmint72:
Here it is! I'll be writing New game soon, I just need to get the feel of it. Since I'm completely changing characters and perspectives. DURRR. I'm glad you liked Aura, she is a hard character to build, and she's still kinda in development. Like I had her good old self done, but now I need to concentrate on the bad-ass, I don't give a crap Aura. She'll appear in New Game, but after that, I'm not so sure. So we'll still have time to see her before he officially says goodbye. Marie is SOFT compared to Aura, but that's the contrast between the two. Marie is a sweet girl, while Aura will just jump in and kill everything. And yea, you also have the other story after New Game. And the One during BBS where Marie meets Lea, Isa, Aqua, and Ansem.

Alexandria Volturi:
Thank you! I hope so too, and I'm still thinking on it. Thanks for telling me, I'll take a look!

SisterOfScarletDevil:
Haha, yeah. Songs add another dimension to everything, I love it. Hope you enjoyed the story!

TheEvilMonkey94:
Thank you! And they'll meet wayyyy later into New Game. Aura will just act as the silent guardian, watching Marie on her every step.

Lele-the-Greek-Geek:
Yes, it does. And so do I. LOL, it's recycled from the first, but that's because she's telling her story, right? But she ends it sadly, or at least I think.

Squalls Kid:
I LOVE TEH PATCHES. He is awesome, and I hate how I have to kill him in the game. WHY TETSUYA, WHY? LOLOLOL, OMG. That sounds hilarious, especially the Twi-fart reference.
