By now the bond between Kyre and I was reaching me and I felt my hands stinging with every attack she put into the barrier. It was torture! Each hit brought a fiery spark through me, the barrier had electricity in it. Which made sense with the number of lightning bolts this guy has shot at me. "At least do it quick." I said finally, tears streaming down my face. Since nothing seemed to work with him, I moved forward, to end my own life. This brought him to life just as an angry roar from beside Kyre could be heard. I felt the sword prick my skin, it hurt, and I mean it really hurt.

He stepped back, dropping his sword. It clanged against the ground. Only it's echo was heard, followed by the boy swearing. "I can't do it!" He cried out. The barrier went down and Kyre charged the boy. He was torn and ripped by Kyre's bloodied paws and beak.

"Kyre!" I screamed as the hood fell to reveal Caxel. She stopped and looked at me with a pained expression, she so wanted to kill him, but I wouldn't allow it. I felt my heart twisted at the sight of him. He was beat up and lifeless. I ran to him.

"Caxel!" I screamed and ran to him. "Caxel are you ok?" I said, new tears falling.

His eyes turned to me, they were disgusted and angry now. "He told me to destroy you, to kill you!" He growled. "And I listened! I came with full intentions of killing you...I told myself you meant nothing. But...you do." He said sitting up. We were suddenly really close to each other. I had remove my legs out from under myself to put more distance between us.

"You mean something to me, you're in my memories, but I don't know who you are. I have feelings, but I don't know what they are." I knew the feeling. We were both struggling with this. We both went silent as I watched him torment himself. He had the look of self hate and self disgust which made me feel awful myself, knowing I could do nothing. My heart twisted painfully again as I looked at him, so much that I had to look away.

"Why? Why does just looking at you make my heart twist so?" I said, tears threatening to fall again in my frustration.

"I don't know.." He said. He looked at me and put weight on one hand while the other reached out to touch me, his hand on my cheek was so familiar, but I did not know him! He says his name is Caxel, but I know I've never heard that name before, it would have triggered something if I had! but every fiber in my body longed for him, to hug him, to...kiss him. But why is this!

"I wish I knew...It hurts." I said clutching my chest with a sob. He held me close in such a familiar embrace that I just had to remember, but I couldn't. Of all the things I have remembered of my past, I can't remember the one thing I want to. It's as if my mind is trying to protect me from the pain that's sure to come upon knowing.

"It hurts me too..I cannot and will not fight you, no matter what he says. You...are a friend from now on. I may be a nobody, but somehow, I feel things most nobodies shouldn't. Because of you."

We sat there for a moment longer as I willed memories that would not come. Kyre and Igneous stood by, they both looked somber and I knew Kyre was in pain, for I felt it.

"I must go, Kyre is in pain, and so am I. I need to treat her wounds." I finally say, attempting to get up.

"Let me take you home then. Just tell me the way and I will take you. Your in no condition to walk, no thanks to me." He said with self loathing in his eyes.

"Caxel, it's not your fault, he told you to." Whoever he is.

Caxel stood up and picked me up bridal style. He walked me all the way to my apartment, but like I said before, I never made it actually inside. For there inside my apartment were cloaked people. The aura inside my apartment looked scary and threatening. I clutched onto Caxel as he held onto me tighter in an attempt to protect me.

"If we cannot kill her, we need her with us." A deep voice said walking forward. I felt Caxel back up until he hit the wall, he was scared of the man before us. And I was too as he removed his hood and I looked into eyes that scared me senseless. He raised his hand and did a hand signal, all the cloaked people came forward. Caxel was hit and he fell, I fell with him and soon followed him into unconsciousness.
