Akuroku pt.6

Roxas fell to the ground, crying endless tears. The pain made him feel like someone stabbed him right in the heart.

“My mother dead….?  It’s….it’s…my fault…if i…..could have gotten here...sooner…..”

Axel walked over to Roxas, placing his hands on Roxas’ shoulders, trying to comfort Roxas. Even Roxas’ sister walked over trying to make her big brother stop crying.

“Please….stop….” she whispered.

All that Roxas’ could do was embrace her in a warm hug. Roxas looked over his sister’s shoulder staring at his mother’s lifeless body. She lay on the cold, concrete, floor, face down. She wore a regular gray business suit, and always wore the same exact watch she did everyday. Roxas loved his mother so much and to see her now with blood splattered all over her and having the soul taken out of her was torture. What was he going to do? He couldn’t sit there while, the rest of his family was killed off, and what if Axel got hurt?  He could never live with himself if something else happened to the ones he loved. Yet, all he could do was cry endlessly.

“Wait, Roxas…? Don’t you have an older sister…? Where is she…?”

Roxas looked up in Axels’ green eyes. “In the cemetery….she died sometime ago….”

“Died? More like murdered!” Everyone looked up upon the figure appearing from the doorway.

“Did you really think that was an accident…?” the figure then appeared out of the shadows. It was Roxas’ father, blood dripped down the side of his face, and he looked bruised, but he still had energy left in him.

“She died by falling down the stairs! That’s what you told us!”

“Roxas…Roxas...Roxas….” he waved his finger at him. “I would think you would learn after this period of time that you shouldn’t trust me. I pushed her down the stairs! It was no accident! She found out some of my plans and got in my way! Just like your mother!”

Roxas stayed silent as he rambled on. His father smirked as he walked closer to Roxas saying something to Roxas that he didn’t understand. Finally after sometime, Roxas told his sister to go to Axel then stood up.

“JUST SHUT UP!” Roxas yelled. The atmosphere turned tense and Axel just stared at the father waiting for the next move.

“You killed my sister, my mother, and all I have left is my sister and Axel. And over my dead body, you will not hurt them!”

The two keyblades appeared in Roxas’ hands. Making his father distracted for a moment.

“Fine, we will fight to the death then. Besides what do I care, you’re not even my real son!”

Roxas’ looked up into his dark eyes with the eyes of a one year old that was about to cry.

“Oh your mother never told you….?” Father smirked.

“She found you on our door steps and decided to keep you. She wouldn’t take no for an answer, and besides no one would know that you were adopted cause you looked so much like us, but I guess we should have left you there to die!”

Roxas had anger feeling every bone in his body, he wanted revenge and he was going to get it! Roxas ran towards his father swinging his swords like a mad man.

“YOU LITTLE!”

Roxas wanted him dead, to stop the misery, and for his family. This was going to end today. Roxas’ swung his swords over and over again, having his father block every blow.

“FACE IT! YOU’LL NEVER DEFEAT ME!”

Roxas’ outfit changed into a dark rob, Axel shook nervously. He got scared, Roxas can’t change back, not again, not ever again, he wasn’t going to let the Roxas he loved get taken over by the heartless one and if this furthered then Axel would have to stop it.
It was almost midnight and the moon shown brightly upon them, giving the fight a scary feel. The area was filled with must and morning dew smell. Roxas’ and his father’s shadows danced across the concrete floor. This fight kept at it and Roxas was not going to give up. “I am going to kill you!” Roxas swung another blow, hitting his father on his left cheek, having blood rush down his face. Quickly his father grabbed his face, letting go of his sword to become weaponless. He stumbled back, feeling the horrible pain surge through his body. Roxas then smiled brightly,

“As I said you’re going to die, tonight….by my hand!”

Roxas swung his sword down upon his father for one last blow to finish the job. Roxas felt and heard the blood fly every where, splattering upon the wall and Roxas’ face, he looked to see his father’s corpse, but found Axel with the sword going through his right shoulder. Axel just smiled the best he could, and slowly fell to the cold, dead, ground.
