"Friend? That's it? where is your master then!" Zandra's father snarled in response to Axrans reply, tone turning from gleeful to something rather nasty. "I...I don't have one." The small girl replied, looking to her feet now which she was shuffling anxiously, still not truly sure why her parents had suddenly appeared out of the blue after losing them for how long? She couldn't even remember anymore, but that wasn't the issue at the moment. The girl didn't have much time to mull these things over though as her mother began her ranting again. "And goodness child!We give you the finest clothes in the world and this is what you wear? An oversized t-shirt and some baggy pants, your not even wearing shoes! where is your taste? You know you should be looking for a prince around now!" She scoffed, giving a disapproving look to Zandra. Zandra gave a large blush of embarrassment, walking over from her parents to Axran now. "Yea, it's been nice and all, but we need to get going." She spoke quickly, a nervous twinge adding to the tone of her voice, afraid her parents were divulging too much. "We havn't seen you in over two thousand years and you'r ready to leave again after 5 minutes!? Zandra Hadi Basileia! If you leave you will never hear the end of this!" Zandra's father began.

Axran defensively stood in front of Zandra, his jawline tense. His silver eyes narrowed ever so slightly, as he stared down the man. He didn't like how they were talking to her. "Master? Why does she need a master when she is her own person? Hence, if she is her own person, she should be able to do as she pleases, mmm? I may have no right to meddle between parent and child in truth, but a friend should always step in for a friend!" stated Axran, trying to be protective of Zandra and polite enough toward her parents. Once again, what they were saying wasn't making any sense. But there was one thing that made sense; Zandra wanted away from them. So he granted her that. Placing his hands on her hips, Axran lifted Zandra up and over his shoulder and began to run like lightning away from her parents, weaving skillfully through the trees and into Halloween Town itself. He would have to thoroughly apologize to Zandra for this.

Zandra let out a quick gasp as Axran grabbed her and began to run. She was speechless at the mans actions, and still utterly confused from her parents sudden appearance. Why of all times, when she was least mentally stable, would they show up now? She thought that maybe she had imagined them, it wouldn't have been the first time that day. It all didn't seem to add up, but she was thankful to be away from them now, real or not. As she hung over Axran's shoulder though, her vision began to blur as a voice spoke in her head "You won't escape this game, we will get you..." The voice was very familiar to her now. It wasn't her parents thought. It was the same voice as the cloaked figure, the same voice as the undead wolf, and gave her the same familiar feeling of absolute panic as all color drained from the girls face. "Get away from me!" She suddenly screamed spontaneously, attempting to free herself from Axran's grip . When she wasn't able to immediately fall off the boys shoulder she began clawing at his back. "I don't wanna go, don't take me, you'll bring me to them!" The girl screamed in extreme insanity now, squirming and flailing her limbs, diamond tears beginning to stream down her face and shatter onto the ground.

Axran cringed from the pain of Zandra clawing at his back. Them? Her strange different reality with that game must have returned. He stopped running and took her down from his shoulder, holding her close so she wouldn't run away. With her squirming and flailing, she ended up smacking him across the face. Axran continued to hold her though, fear of her running off and hurting herself. "I'm not taking you to them, Zandra! I'm not. You're staying with me."

Zandra continued to squirm about frantically in Axran's arms. "I don't wanna go back there, I don't wanna go back there..." She uttered, finally beginning to relax as she came out of her phase just as quickly as she had gone into it. The girl hung limp in Axran's arms now, staring up as her vision cleared once again. "I'm sorry...Thanks for not letting go of me..." Zandra whispered, cheeks reddening in embarrassment.

"Heh, it's quite alright. But maybe we could somehow get that under control, hmmm?" suggested Axran, rubbing his face where she had accidentally hit him. He sighed and stood up, standing Zandra up with him, hands keeping her steady. It would help him a lot if he knew more about what she was going through. She was obviously seeing things he couldn't, and what about this game Zandra had mentioned before? Was it the cause of the hallucinations? "Maybe you should tell me more about this thing your going through, eh?"

"I'm not even completely sure...I've seen them before though, this isn't the first time its happened..."Zandra muttered, staring to the ground now as she tried to explain. "They come for anyone they feel is not living their life completely, they say they'll make you appreciate, or else...They'll make you follow the rules of the game to make you see life more...how they say....clearly" The girl paused for another moment, getting a bit shaky of being reminded of the hallucinations she had experienced. "If you don't follow the rules...They take you, and you never come back..." Zandra suddenly spun around so she was facing Axran now. "Axran...I followed the rules last time...I can't do it again...I can't...I just can't..."

"Follow the rules? Well, what are the rules?" asked Axran, scratching his head. It would help if he new these so called rules of this so called game. He didn't like that it was screwing with her. Though he had to wonder...if they were trying to make her live her life to the fullest, that would mean she wasn't? Axran sighed and rested a hand on his hip, the other rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Just help me understand...So I can help you better..." he suggested.

"You exchange someone else's' life for your own..." Zandra mumbled, scratching the back of her head. The last thing she wanted was for Axran to think of her as a cold blooded murderer. "They say it's a test of basic instincts of survival...I don't quite understand it...I wasn't born with any...instincts...of that variety, but that's what they tell me." The girl attempted to explain, taking a step away from the organization member now so she was able to shuffle her feet anxiously once again.

"Exchange the life of someone else with your own? Like....kill someone?" inquired Axran, crossing his arms and leaning his head down to look at the ground. He paused and closed his eyes for a moment, trying to give this some thought. Basic instincts of survival...what did killing have to do with that? Sure, if it was hunting for food in order to survive, but to just kill at will for a game, no. Axran scratched his chin and looked back up from the ground at anxious Zandra. "I don't see what killing would have to do with basic survival in that sense....Sounds stupid to me." he stated, tilting his head.

"You're telling me..." Zandra mumbled, plopping onto the ground now in frustration, placing her head in her hands as she perused over the situation in front of her.
It was extremely fortunate for them that Zandra had been thrown into Halloween town those couple hours ago, for what other world could it have been in any way possible for two people decked in complete gold to hide. As Zandra's parents eavesdropped on the conversation, the man pulled out a cell phone and pressed the speed dial, pressing the receiver closely to his ear. "No...We don't have her yet, there's an organization member by her that wont let us near her at all..." The man muttered in a hushed tone, making sure not to be heard. After a minute or so of an angry voice on the line yelling back at him the man closed the device and turned to his female companion. "We have to be someone they both trust..." He whispered into her ear. The woman simply nodded, she already knew who she had in mind. The brilliant gold clothes adorning her body began to melt and bubble and morph along with the rest of her body until it had become a pitch black color, the coat of an organization member. The womans hair had turned from red to a magnificent blonde with dazzling blue eyes. The woman had taken the shape of Nico, in her arms was her small son Seth, the man from before also having disappeared. The impostor slowly walked into the street finally coming into view of Zandra and Axran. "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" She asked in her all too familiar Nico tone.

Axran rubbed the side of his head and looked blankly in the direction he was facing, hearing the familiar voice of Nico. Slowly turning, he stared at her with his silver eyes and raised an eyebrow. Why was Nico here, out of blue, with her son Seth as well? None the less, it was nice to see a face he knew he could trust. "Oh...Hey, Nico. We're just lounging around in Halloween Town for a bit, y'know?" the Thunderous Arc said smoothly, giving a charming smile. He looked down at Seth, nestled in Nico's arms, fondly. "Hey little guy...Mind if I hold him, Nico?" he asked.

"Of course." Nico nodded, carefully placing the small child in Axran's arm. The woman smiled warmly as Zandra ran over and embraced the organization member in a tight hug. "I haven't seen you in forever Nico!" She chirped. (Omg brain lag O.o)

Holding Seth in his arms, Axran continued to look down at him with fond eyes. He always kinda had a soft spot for him, since the first time he met him on the couch. How? Who knew why. The Thunderous Arc made a popping sound as he touched the young boy's nose, a smile creasing his lips. For a Nobody, he seemed fairly caring of others. Axran looked to Nico and thought for a moment, "So then....why are you in Halloween Town?"
[ Totally understandable xD ]

"Oh, just taking care of a few errands for Xemnas....Y'know, he never wants to do his own work anymore." Nico replied as she rolled her eyes, kneeling down to eye level with Zandra before returning the hug she had been given. "He actually needs to see Zandra, you don't mind if i borrow her right?"
