I felt life beginning to move nicely through my system again, but my mind was elsewhere echoing Akane's words of traitor....I was....I was a traitor to everything. And I couldn't change that....past events were past events....I foced myself away from the memories, but one continued on. It was the one that had started in my unconscious state.
Axel walked quickly up the steps muttering to himself about what would happen if he had caught Triskix slacking from his punishment. He made a quick turn up the stairs and started yelling.
"Triskix! Those floors better be spotless!" he yelled, but there was no answer not even Triskix's usual yell that he was almost finished.
Axel continued up, but the still of the silence caused him to run faster up the stairs. When he was finally at the second floor he yelled again.
"Triskix! Where are you?" he yelled trying to hide his sudden fear with a voice of anger.
"He won't answer," Xemnas's voice answered.
Axel turned to Xemnas and the sight that lay between them both.
"Triskix...." Axel said looking at the mangled body and glazed eyes of his young pupil. His right arm looked nearly or completely ripped from his shoulder and slash marks moved up and down him like railroad tracks. "Triskix," Axel said again. Triskix didn't reply but his lips kept on moving making unheard and unknown words.
"You should watch your pets a bit more carefully Axel," Xemnas commented, "He bared his teeth, so I kicked him as a lesson."
Axel glared at Xemnas a moment, but Xemnas smirked and began walking away. Axel didn't argue this and slowly picked Triskix up....or rather...what was left of him.
"Don't kill me....don't kill me....I'll keep order...don't kill me...." Triskix's voice was soft, but Axel heart every word.
Axel walked down the stairs carrying Triksix until he came back to his room (Axel's room). As he pushed the door open, Axel saw Roxas inside. Roxas looked up but didn't say anything.
"Xemnas......Triskix lucky to be alive," Axel finally said, "He's suffered a lot of damage, but he's alive."
"What are you going to do?" Roxas asked indifferently.
"He's going to have to heal on his own, but that doesn't mean I can't make him comfortable," Axel answered.
"No what are you going to do about Xemnas?" Roxas rephrased.
"There is nothing to be done except wait until he wakes," Axel answered.
"And if he doesn't?" Roxas asked.
"Then I will have lost a pupil," Axel answered, "But I have a feeling he'll be fine.
