Author's Note: Hi again. Here is chapter 2. The begining of this story I wrote without really thinking of the plot line, so again, if it is a little confusing and fast, I'm sorry about that. xD
And the chapters are pretty short in the begining too, but they get alot longer. Haha.
Anyways, enjoy. ^_^


Chapter two: Back to the Lab


“Axel, where are we going?” I asked quietly as his hand caressed my cheek. Axel didn’t turn to look at me, only kept his face forward.

“I’m taking you back, Roxas. Back to the lab.” His voice turned grave at the end of the sentence. I didn’t understand what he meant.

“Lab…?”

Where there really evil scientists here? Maybe one of them was my father or mother. Maybe they were actually good scientists who tried to find cures for cancer or the common cold. Something about this place told me that wasn’t very likely.

“Yes,” Was all he said. That frightened me even more.

“You will stay with me, right?” I had to ask.

Axel frowned then set me down at the foot of the door. I turned around and faced him, crossing my arms and putting on an angry face.

Why did he put me down?

Axel almost laughed at me, but didn’t, only reached around me to push open the small back door. I cringed at the squeakiness.

Is this place like 2,000 years old?

Axel’s hand pushed on my back slightly, urging me to step inside. If Axel was trusting this place, then I sure as hell should. The bright florescent lights almost blinded me when I stepped in. It gave me a headache. Axel hurriedly shut the door behind us then shook his head, sprinkling raindrops on the floor.

“How about we go get changed? Then we can--”

“Thank god you found him, Axel,” said an old sounding voice. I turned and saw an aged man in a lab coat. His light brown hair was graying at the top, he looked at least in his 40’s. He had a horribly smug smile. I suddenly hated this man. No. I loathed him. I had no idea why or what made me feel this way, but the horrible burning hatred was almost too much for me to bear.

“Yes…” Axel told the man, not looking into his eyes.

No, Axel. You can’t talk to this man. He’s evil.

“This happens so often, I wonder if he’s ever going to be smart enough to actually run somewhere different for once,” The man laughed. My eyes flared. I felt the heat rising in my stomach. This man had to die. I lunged myself at him, fists high, teeth ground tight.

“Roxas!” I heard Axel’s voice then his arms were around me. He held me back with his strong arms, I couldn’t help but be a doll in his hands.

“Looks like he still hates me, no matter how many times he forgets.” The man looked anything but sentimental. I growled in Axel’s arms, almost shocked that these noises were coming from my mouth. I barley cared, all I wanted to do was rip that man apart limb from limb.

“Let me GO!” I yelled, thrashing around in Axel’s arms.

I’m sorry Axel. But if you would just let me go…

“Please, Roxas. Hold still. For me…” Axel asked in a voice that made my heart melt.

Why is he doing this to me?

“And Vexen, there is no need to tell him any of that. He’s having a hard enough time trying to remember things all on his own, he’s confused and scared,” Axel said, his eyes now on the man. My hands clenched and unclenched at my sides.

So, Vexen is the bastard’s name…

Vexen sighed and shrugged his shoulders. “He might as well know. Its not like he will be conscience for much longer anyway. Soon this will happen all over again, just like last week. And the week before that,” Vexen walked closer to me and Axel.

Yes, that’s it. Come closer so I can rip your throat out.

He leaned down to my face. “And the week before that,” He practically spit in my face. That was it. I screamed and escaped from Axel’s arms in a crazy rage. I was so pissed off, no one was about to stop me from killing this man. I saw Vexen smile before I felt something sharp sting through my stomach. I wanted to scream out in pain, but I couldn’t speak, I felt paralyzed. I fell to the floor with a thud.

“Vexen! You're not supposed to use those!” I heard Axel yell. Axel was my only hope now.

Oh, if only he understood how evil that man was. If only he knew how I feel…

“It was necessary,” Vexen spat, smirking down at me with rat-like eyes.

“Necessary my ass…” I managed to say before everything went black.
---------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

My head hurt. It hurt like an atomic bomb was being set off every two seconds. Fireworks covered the inside of my eyelids. I had to open my eyes, but I was afraid to.

Will it hurt even more if I look?

I brought my hands up to my temples and I squeezed my head between my hands, screaming.

“Help me! Someone! Anyone! Please…” I started to cry.

Where is Axel? Where is he…

My heart ached for his words, his soft voice in my ears. I wondered how I ever lived without him for more than three seconds.

“Axel! Axel!” I suddenly heard a door open behind me.

Yes.

My eyes shot open. I had to see who this was. If it was Axel, I might of jumped up, even if the pain was excruciating. But everything was dark. It was even darker than when my eyes were closed. I blinked in the blackness.

“Axel?” I asked into the shadows, the door clicked shut.

“It’s me, Roxas. I’m here.”

It is him.

His voice rang through me like a cold glass of water on a hot day. I needed him. I tried moving my arms and legs. Nothing worked. Something was holding me back. Straps? I noticed I was lying down.

Did they strap me to a freakin’ table?!

I struggled with the binds, I couldn’t see anything so it was especially difficult, besides the fact that I was way past pissed off at this point.

“Calm down, Roxas. It’s okay.” I felt Axel’s hand on mine. I immediately stopped struggling.

Why is he like this? He could tell me to jump off a cliff and I probably would do it…

“Axel…what’s happening? Where am I? Why did you bring me here? Who was that-” I stopped. Well, I had to stop. His lips were touching mine. Millions of emotions shot through me, all at the same time. I was still seriously pissed off, but now, something else. For one, I was embarrassed.

Axel is…kissing me.

I could feel his hot breath become one with mine. My anger started to fade away with every passing second that his lips touched mine. I felt his hand grab the side of my head and bring it up further so I could reach him better. I felt tingly all over my body. I wanted so badly to reach up and grab his face in my hands too. To hold him there forever, never letting go. But just when I decided that I never wanted him to stop, he stopped. I frowned at him.

Bastard…
