Still Burning Ch. 8

"Uxίa... We have to get you somewhere! I-I have to get some help... Oh God what have I done" Axel was frantically looking around the room, not actually seeing anything. All he was focusing on was Uxίa's attempt of trying to speak. The room was simply a blur.

"A-A-Ax-el... don... don't. Blame... your. S-Self" She touched his cheek, trying not to let her mouth move too much "But.... if you. Fe-Feel that. Bad... you can. A-A-Always... buy me... d-dinner."

Despite the situation they were in, Axel laughed and smiled sadly at her "You may have to hold me to that"

With him finally having calmed down, Axel carefully picked up Uxίa, and held her close to him as he travelled through the room. She was going to get better. He'd make sure of that.

And it was at that moment that the pyro recognised where they were. Uxίa had taken them to Axel's room. His and Demyx's room... He'd have to ask her questions later. Right now wasn't the time.

And with that he carried the now sleeping Uxίa to the infirmary, too distracted to remember Roxas, who was cold, alone and scared, surrounded by shadows as he tried to hold onto what little hope he had left.
