Plummet

Nyx was bloody...so bloody...was she even alive anymore? Smoke and debris littered the area around me and I sat kneeling in shock of what I'd done. I looked down at my hands...they were bloody again...just like the time with Marluxia...I felt as though I were about to scream when suddenly my hand felt slightly warm. I looked down...so warm...

Opening my eyes slowly...I felt like I was still in a daze. It didn't last too long...just a moment. My hand was warm...a strange feeling altogether...I tried to move it...but I couldn't. I looked...my hand was being held.

"Thank goodness Lady RaXi!" A familiar face exclaimed. He had a tight grip on my hand and was looking at me with concern.

"Ta....uh..." I thought a little...my head hurt slightly. "Tamex...right?"

"You remember?!" He exclaimed.

I looked at my hand, then glared at him...but he didn't release his grip. He continued to smile at me. So in a quick motion I yanked my hand out of his and sat up. "What's going on?" I asked slowly. There were several sets of eyes on me...making me feel very confused and rather confined.

"We were hoping you'd tell US that." Kyxsha stated coming closer. "You fall out of the ceiling...and you're asking us?"

"What?"

"Don't worry Lady RaXi....I was there to break your fall." Tamex joked. "Always there to be of service to the ladies."

"Huh?" I stammered. Really...what the heck were they saying? I had a weird taste in my mouth...yet not entirely unfamiliar. What was it?

"You had blood on your hands...but you weren't wounded at all...well aside from those marks on your wrists..." Xait spoke.

"Blood..." I stammered...suddenly it hit me in a rushing wave. I began to breathe heavily...I remembered the chains...the darkness...I began to shake slightly. My berserker and Nyx...NYX!!!!

"What's going on with her?" I heard Ximh ask.

"Hey...Lady RaXi...calm down. It's alright..." Tamex stated quickly reaching to put his hand on my shoulder.

I swatted it away and grabbed him by his shoulders. "NYX! WHERE IS SHE?! IS SHE ALIVE?!!" I shouted at him. "Marluxia...Marluxia was there...he....he...." I started to become slightly erratic. I jumped up from my bed and took off out the door. They all tried to stop me...yet I ignored their pleas and continued on my way. I ran through the castle...all the way to his room. Throwing open the door there was nothing...

"Master Marluxia!" I shouted.

"He's gone RaXi." A voice spoke behind me. "You are a foolish girl."

My face turned utterly bitter as I snarled at the man behind me. I turned to face him. "You...how I despise you..." I spoke openly.

"The feeling is mutual. You are an insubordinate foolish girl. Clinging to figures of the past now RaXi...what is this...has your sanity diminished so much from being held so long?" The Leader spoke.

"Oh yes, and I'm sure you knew the EXACT moment I was taken. Admit it...you'd rather I died there...it's what you were hoping for, wasn't it?" I spoke rashly. "You despise me because I will NEVER BOW TO YOU!"

I could feel him glaring harshly. "How is Nyx RaXi? Bloody her up again? Or maybe you killed her this time..."

"Stay out of my head!" I yelled slamming him to the wall. He didn't fight me? "That's right...THIS is your TRUE nature...you'll kill them all RaXi..." He continued.

"Shut up! I can control myself!" I growled.

"Fine job you're doing."

I suddenly realized how I must look...I could feel the marks on my face emerging again...I backed off...until I hit the opposite wall. Falling down, I crouched in the darkness of the corner. He was gone...but was he even there to begin with? My eyes were playing tricks on me now...maybe I HAD been locked in the dark for too long...locked away with my morbid thoughts and predictions...

I saw Triskix...Lexian...Nyx....Xemmsur....Marlex...Xeros...and many more of the apprentices...all on the floor before me. Bleeding...flooding the floor beneath me with blood. Triskix was right in front of me. He had a chain around his neck...I reached out to his corpse....

"No....No.....TRISKIX! LEXIAN!!! NYX...." I shouted so loudly I was sure the ENTIRE CASTLE heard me. My voice broke...my throat was still sore...I sat there shaking and in severe shock.
