♫ Chapter One: Singing in the dead of night ♫
Limbs shaking, temperature rising, she shot up from her bed covered in small glistening droplets produced from her undying nerves. She hoped that these “dreams” would soon cease but they kept on returning to assure her that nothing would ever be like before. Her breathing was frantic and quick as she sat up stiffly in her bed, not daring to move. In order to calm her breathing, she began to move her hands in circular motions towards her chest with her eyes closed. A short moment of silence washed over the room as she began to recall memories that she held dear. The thoughts of her two best friends started to soothe her until unknown memories and visions began to flash within her mind, intruding on her moment of peace.
Frustration made itself known as she rose from her bed and followed the moonlight to her windowsill. Her royal blue orbs gazed out towards the heart-shaped moon that struck a chord within her every time she laid eyes upon it. Something about that moon was so mysterious yet beautiful, and in an odd way, menacing. Feeling hot, she decided to open her window in order to allow the night’s fresh air inside. Upon lifting the glass above her head, a foreign noise made itself present off in the distance. It flowed through the air smoothly and made its way into her ears.
“Help! I need some--.” The voice sang. “Help! Not just anyb--y. Help! You know I n--- some--ne…”
Furrowing her brow, she wondered why someone would call for help in such an odd manner. She had never heard anything like it before in her entire Nobody existence and natural curiosity began to sink in. And thus began the internal debate concerning whether or not she should return to her unpleasant dreams or discover the source of such odd and unfamiliar cries. Her curious mind won the battle and caused her to make the next decision.
To leave her room.
Taking quiet steps down the long corridor filled with the rooms of Organization members, she tried her best to not allow anyone to know of her presence. She knew that if she was caught she would most likely be sent back to bed.
As she continued down the hall, she could hear the singing quite clearer and she began to make out what he said. “Help me if you can I’m feeling down. And I do appreciate you being ‘round. Help me get my feet back on the ground. Won’t you pleaaase, please help me!”
“OH!” The raven-haired girl cried as she stumbled on her own feet, causing her to SMACK loudly against the tiled floor. Motionless, she hoped and wished that no one had heard her fumble. Clearly the voice had heard since he had ceased singing for the time being. Hearing the faint metallic click of a doorknob being turned, she bit her lip. Oh no, she thought. Scrambling quickly to her feet, she came face to face with long skinny arms attached to a broad chest accompanied by a small waist. Eyes wide, her gaze met Axel’s drowsy yet concerned emerald orbs.
“Xion?” He began, rubbing his eyes with one hand.
“Y-yes Axel?” She replied, brushing some hair behind her ear.
“Are you—” He yawned. “Okay?”
“Yes. I’m totally fine. I just tripped on my way to get a glass of water.”
Axel slightly narrowed his eyes at the young girl. He was worried that she may run away again… He always hated it when she did that, and she knew it. Still, something in the back of his mind told him that she wasn’t leaving since she was still dressed in her pajamas and she looked as though she had something else on her mind. “Are you sure?” He asked, sticking his neck out to peer down both ends of the hallway.
“Positive.”
“Do you need me to go with you in case you—” He was quickly cut off.
“No it’s fine! Really. I don’t want you to miss out on your sleep in order to go get water with me.”
“It’s really not a problem Xion I just don’t want you getting hurt.” The concern in his eyes sunk deep into Xion core causing her to look away from him for the time being and into his chamber.
“I’ll be okay. Just go to bed please.” She placed a smile on her porcelain face to assure him that she’ll be fine.
After a brief silence, he let out sigh and shrugged his shoulders. “Okay, but if anything happens—”
“Goodnight.” She replied with a small chuckle while shoving him inside his room. He wasn’t offended by such action and complied when he shut his door, leaving Xion out in the hall. Taking a deep breath, she wiped her brow with the back of her hand. Now that that was over, the absence of the man’s voice caused yet another problem. Frowning, she sat there in silence for a short while hoping that the sound would soon resume. It was silent. Dead silent actually. “Come on.” She said to herself as if it would cause the sound to pick up again. As if on cue, the voice began to sing again.
“Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they’re here to stay. Oh I believe in Yesterday…” As the melody continued to flow into her ears, she couldn’t help but become entranced by the lyrics. What was once cries of help became cries of sadness, emotions that she would never truly understand, let alone experience.
Guided by the male’s voice and the moonlight, she found herself in the Hall of Empty Melodies. The voice echoed through out the large, empty room yet she could see no sight of its owner. Turning in constant circles, she searched for a face or something that would at least give her some closure. Noting the staircase leading up to a large balcony over looking the courtyard below, she decided to climb it allowing the melodic voice to soothe away all her doubts and obvious concerns about venturing towards the unknown.
Peering over the railing, she found her answer and with it came a broad smile that danced its way onto her face.
