I hid behind a building so Riku and Sora wouldn’t see me. A black portal opened and Axel, Sora and Riku stepped out. I smiled. Be fore Axel had left he’d burnt the ground alittle to make it look like he’d burnt me there. Sora and Riku stopped in their tracks when they saw it. “are you ready?” Axel asked them. If they’d had their weapons they would have fought Axel right there. And Riku tried but Axel blocked his shot. Axel wore a teasing smile. It was like watch a cat play with the mice before eating them. They looked at him with pure hate in their eyes. I tiptoed behind them crouched on the ground and ran my fingers on their ankles. They jumped a foot and looked at me. “Marie!!!” Riku yelled. “you wouldn’t think I’d let him kill you after he killed me, would you?” I asked. He pulled me into a huge, hard, tight hug. I hugged him back. He was the one who had found me wondering the streets. I pulled away from him and turned to Axel with a smile on my face. “am I forgiven?” I asked. He rolled his eyes and nodded. “thank you, for killing me.” I said. I hugged him and when he hugged me back Riku tensed. “I would ask if I’m welcome back but, I’m dead.” I said. “your welcome back anytime.” he said. I looked down and smiled. “Marie, want to go home?” Riku asked. I looked up at him and nodded. He put his arm around me and we walked back to Sora’s house. When we started to walk and got sad that I was leaving Axel. I pulled away from Riku and ran to Axel with tears in my eyes. I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face in his chest. “thank you so much. You’ve done so much for me and I’m thankful for that. Your one of my best friends.” I told him. I took a step back and tried to smile but couldn’t. I felt like Bella. All my friends were tring to kill each other. I looked away and saw Roxas standing behind a building. I straitened up and ran after him. He saw me look at him and he tried to run but I cought him. I grabbed his arm and pulled him back to the group. “look what I found.” I said. Sora and him locked eyes. I let go of him and he stood there. “Roxas, what are you doing?!” Axel asked. “nobdy told me that you found her.” he said. “Roxas, you cant tell anybody.” I said. “why?” he asked. “Xemnas told me to kill her.” Axel said. Roxas looked like he agreed with Xemnas. “well why arent you obeying oders?” Roxas asked. I let loose a low growl. He stepped back and Riku grabbed my arm. I didn’t fight against Riku because I knew that I would regret it. Axel grabbed Roxas’s arm and pulled him. I relaxed a little and Riku let go of me. I stood next to Roxas with my hand clamped on his throught. “whats that about Axel not obeying orders?” I asked. He didn’t answer and that was because I was choking him but I didn’t care. I squeezed harder and he started to gag. Axel and Riku tried to pry my hand off his neck but they couldn’t. “Marxie, let go of him. Your going to kill him.” Axel said. I heard the hint of hurt in his voice and I let go. Riku and Sora both pulled me back. “Roxas, are you okay?” Axel asked. He didn’t nod or talk or anything but he was breathing. Not very well but he was breathing. I blinked once then looked at Roxas in shock. “whats wrong with him?!” I asked. Was he okay? Why wasn’t he talking or moving? I looked at Riku and Sora and they looked at me. They loosened their grip and I ran to Roxas’s side. Axel stood between us and everyone but me tensed. “Lay him on the ground.” I said. Axel, Riku and Sora didn’t take their eyes off me. I sat next to Roxas and looked at his neck. There was a hand mark on his neck. It was white where the blood wasn’t there. “What happened to him?” I asked. They all looked at each other then at me. “You tried to kill him.” Axel said coutiously. “I wouldn’t do that.” I said. “we all saw you do it.” Sora said. They were serious. “I don’t remember doing it.” I said. I put my hands on Roxas’s neck and Axel grabbed my arms. I looked at him and he let go. I rubbed Roxas’s neck and they were all tense. When his neck was red I stood up and smiled. Axel helped him up Roxas could move his neck again. “Better?” I asked. He nodded. We heard someone coming and turned towards the sound. Xemnas was walking towards us. “oh, boy.” Axel said. “Axel! I tought you killed her.” Xemnas said. “ I cant kill her. She’s my friend.” Axel said. “she turned her back on us! And I see you evenlet the enemy free.” Xemnas said. I walked over to stand next to Sora and Riku. “your not doing anything to my friends!” I yelled at him. He looked at me then at Axel. “I told you to kill her.” Xemnas said. Axel and Roxas walked over and stood next to us. “I’m not going to hurt her, let alone kill her.” Axel said. Xemnas called me forward and I walked up to him. Him grabbed my throut and squeezed. I screamed in pain but it was a choked scream. Axel, Roxas, Sora, and Riku run to my reascue but Xemnas had won.
