I could feel the ice from my blood quickly disappear as RaXi took it out. Sleep started coming to me faster and faster, I could barely hold it back anymore. I could hear four different sets of voices talking about something, but half of what they said was muffled to my ears. Everything was like, that in between state of sleep, were your body is asleep but your mind will not let you fall asleep yet.
Eyes closed flashes of torn down buildings played across my eye lids, as slowly I began to fall into a deep unconscious sleep. People were screaming in the distance and everything seemed to grow colder in the setting sun. Then all of a sudden everything spun out of control and I was thrown back into the past. Back to years ago, back when everyone was still alive, back to when RaXi and I were children. Back to that day everything seemed to stand still, and in a flash I was a child again…
~It was just a common everyday mission that the leader sent RaXi and me on, at least that’s what I thought. Once we got to our destination RaXi said that we have to split up nodding to her, I was excited. Every mission was exciting to me, I loved them. Everything was perfect the mission turned out to be nothing and I was ecstatic that my own little mission was a success.
On my way back to find RaXi it felt like something was not right. Running to where I thought RaXi was I saw a mass of smoke rising and descending over the city. Closer up I saw that huge building where destroyed and scattered over the streets, blood was everywhere and I didn’t want to look at the bodies. They made my stomache jump up to my throat.
‘RaXi… I felt her here somewhere, but where?’ Panicked I began to think of her in this rubble. Not thinking that the thing that made this could still be here. I quickly ran threw this place yelling out RaXi’s name, hoping she would be okay. Then near the end of the city I saw her. Her back was to me and I nearly cried out in delight to see her that is until I saw an innocent at her feet.
Hand raised up in a pleading way to her, and without flinching her sword rose up higher and came down with a force that shuck the ground we stood on. A wicked laughter cut threw the smoke that began to increase in size as the flames tried to devour everything in the city. She turned in that moment and I saw the blood stains all over my best friend.
“R… RaXi that… that is your blood—“
“Stupid child, that blood is that of the ones that stood in my way. Do you wish to stand in my way?”
“Ra… RaXi what… What Has Come Over You!”
“I am not that pathetic other you call RaXi. I’m her stronger, I am her dark side. Do you wish to die child?”
I couldn’t move I was too shocked; it was as if I was frozen to the ground. I couldn’t think straight I couldn’t form words anymore. It was like I was a lifeless doll helpless against this nightmare. Yes… Nightmare that is what this is just a nightmare. Fiercely I closed my eyes and wished this all away, but when I opened my eyes the only thing I saw was RaX—no, Dark RaXi, as she stepped closer to me and leaned down to whisper in my ear.
“Are you scared? Don’t lie I can feel it… you are shacking. You want to run, then why don’t you?”
Raising my eyes up to her I saw the dark wispy tattoos across her face, her eyes now glowed a bright blue. They held something malevolent in them not the calming warm glow anymore. Deep within I could feel the real RaXi clawing to get out. So many innocents were caught up in this. I couldn’t let her kill anymore for their sake and for RaXi’s sanity.
‘But you just can’t fight her! She is OuR BESt FrIeNd! Not even considering how strong she is compared to you!’ my mind screamed at me, but I couldn’t let that stop me.
In a flash a fight broke out, and after a moment she threw me away like a rage doll. Then addressed me again and attacked to finish this. I tried desperately to hold my own, but in the end it just wasn’t enough. I felt my body crash to the ruins of the broken and destroyed city. I knew soon that I would be one with the dead, when I saw her sword rise but I wouldn’t let myself fade I had to save RaXi. She would do the same thing for me.
"That's enough RAXI!" I heard a voice in the distance yell out.
I could hear them as they began to fight, Saix vs. RaXi. A tear rolled down my cheek when I heard RaXi scream out, not long after I heard Saix growl as he turned into his Berserker form. I tried to move to see if RaXi and Sensei were okay, but I found that I couldn’t move. Everything seemed to float by as my vision slow began to turn black. I could feel something tug on my very existence calling out to me to join.
I started to shake as everything turned black, scared that I would never see anyone again as sharp claws dug into ‘myself in my mind’ pulling me harder. Somehow I could feel pain pass over my numb body, like little needles everytime I pushed the pulling felling aside, but I couldn’t let myself fade! There were too many things I needed to do! I needed more training with Saix! I had to get back at Lexian and Triskix for putting me into Marly’s closet! Most of all I had to tell RaXi that I was going to be okay, and I wasn’t her fault!
Everyone said that when you die a bright light calls to you, but all I saw was darkness and long sharp claws trying to reach my existence to pull me in. It is probably because we have no heart, or that I am light already maybe it goes opposite then. Cringing I brought my nonexistent knees up to my chest, hugging myself. Sliding to the very back of my mind away, from the edge that the claws form from, I waited for my body to heal and close the large gap from this world to the next.~[/
