OOC: "The other two who do this." Nice.
Ame sat quietly in her chair, once again fingering her crystal keychain. Being in a castle was brining up memories of her past. Not the terrifying ones, of darkness and pain and an insane king, but ones far sweeter. Thoughts of a time when she felt whole, when she knew happiness, friendship...even something that could have been love. Ame was the Twilit Key-weilder of Hearts, but her own heart was barren in comparison to what it once was.
"Jaxen, I've finally figured it out! I know how I can leave Hollow Bastion. Come with me...we can go to other worlds, ones without the Heartless, where Ansem can't reach me...." Ame trailed off, but her grey eyes were bright and dancing, and an excited flush lit up her cheeks as she dreamt of a world where she could be free. A smile graced her lips, despite the fact that she knew the Heartless were approaching. But that didn't matter. Soon they would be gone, and she and Jaxen wouldn't have to run anymore. But her smile faltered as she gazed at him. As much as his expression showed that he was happy for her, there was something wary in his eyes.
"Jaxen? What is it?"
"Nothing, Ame. It's just...go on. Find another world. I'm glad you can be free," he answered, making an attempt at a smile.
"But...you're coming with me...Jaxen!"
The feeling of Darkness that the Heartless gave off was drawing closer; they would be here soon. Ame's heart both sped up and slowed down in her newly acquired panic.
"Ame, I can't, I'm sorry...but I still have my family. I can't leave them. I promised."
"I need you! Please...the Darkness inside me...I can still feel it. It scares me. Jaxen, you're the only thing that keeps me balanced. Thinking of you was all that kept me sane when Ansem...when he...." she chokes on her words and blinks back tears. Jaxen wraps his arms around her and hold her close. The prescence of Darkness is more apparent.
"Go Ame. Find your destiny." he pulls away slightly and presses his crystal pendant into her hand. "Keep this close, and it'll help keep you whole."
Shaking her head slightly to clear her thoughts, Ame looked up and glances at Zexion.
"For once, are you going to explain something?"
