Souls Of Time : A Kingdom Hearts Story

Chapter 11: Falling Lucid

I walked over to Saïx waiting at the door. I looked back and Naminé gave me a small wave. Then Saïx turned and went out the door. I followed, I stood there as he shut the door, Naminé watching as the door closed then locked. He continued his way down the hall, I trailed close behind.

"Do you have any, memories?" Saïx questioned.

I thought for a moment, then answered. "No, not exactly."

He mumbled something that I couldn't understand.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." He snapped back.

"What about you?" I wondered.

He turned his head. "What?" He barked.

"How much do you remember?" I questioned.

He turned his head forwards. "I thought we already went over this." Saïx shot back.

"But how much?" I urged.

He started to walk faster. "It's none of your concern." He clenched his hands.

"It's important to me." I said.

He stopped in his tracks. "Why?!" He shouted.

I stopped walking. I felt nervous now.

What am I saying?!

I tightened my hands. Then he turned around suddenly and picked me up by my jacket. His hood fell and his long dark blue hair became spiked and began to float. His eyes glowed again and he raised his blade.

"Uh-um, I-" I stuttered.

He stared me down.

Why?! What did I do?!

I grabbed onto his hands trying to pull free. He gritted his teeth. I could tell, he was holding himself back from ending me right now.

My eyes widened. "Don't..." I pleaded.

Is he really going to kill me? I should have stayed quiet.

But then he lowered his sword and his eyes became normal. He dropped me from his grasp and I stumbled to catch myself. He pulled his hood back up.

"It doesn't matter." He spat.

He turned around and started walking away. My heart beat steadied.

"Yes it does..." I answered.

He didn't even stop.

"You don't know me." He said coldly.

I wanted to say something back, but I was out of words.

What am I doing, I don't even understand! I'm so stupid. I'm going to get myself killed.

I took in a deep breath. I stood up straight. Then we continued our way down the long hall once again. We finally made it back to the cell after the utterly silent and awkward walk back there. After my life was just at risk. I stood patiently with my hands folded. He reached out to open the door to the cell.

"If you keep this up you're never getting out." Saïx spoke.

He paused. I looked up at his covered face.

"What I wanted to say, was that, I care for everyone. Though it's hard if I can't get to know them. I can tell who has light left in their heart. Even if it's a small piece." I said quietly.

He was silent for a moment.

"Only fools will get themselves killed thinking that way. You shouldn't trust the enemy knowing the risk of getting your back stabbed." He answered.
