"Oh okay. So hes trusted?" They are almost back at the house now.

"I trust him. Granted I pretty much trust everyone, but I really do trust him." Sydney smiled at Matt.

"Just like you trusted me?" Matt hoped it wasn't like him, for the fact that he felt that their 'trust' was more like 'love'..

"I trust you more than everyone else." Sydney then a had scary thought. What if he found out about her family? Would he still trust her?

"Well, I feel the same way. I told you a bit on how I am wanted and stuff so.. Do you think you can tell me a bit about yourself?"

"What do you want to know?" She was hoping this would be brief.

Xemnas thought to himself. "My true love... lies within the enemy grasp. I will free your hypnotic hold from the now enemy... I'm coming. Soon."

"Hey, I asked you a question... Unless its too personal?" Matt was concerned...

"Okay, I... don't know where to start." Sydney thought about all of the things she could say.

"Is it a problem to tell me? If it is... you don't have to. I don't want anything to break us or anything..." He said holding both her hands.

"I don't know what to tell you. What do you want to know? I'll answer anything you ask."

Matt sighed. "No, it seems to important to you..."

"No really. Ask."

"Well, you seem uneasy whenever i bring up MY parents.. So what about yours?" His voice softened when he said "MY parents" because of their deaths..

"My mom died of cancer when I was 12. My dad was murdered a few months ago." Sydney looked down. She wasn't going to cry though.

"Awww... That sucks... Looks like we all have dead parents..." Matt looked down in disappointment.

"I have a brother somewhere. We don't talk much."

"Understandable." They finally arrive at the house, and Matt steps in front of Sydney, still cautious of attacks. "Don't enter yet... I'll go first."

"Okay?" Sydney wasn't going to argue. She thought about her dad. She missed him least of all.

Matt cautiously stepped in. "Anybody home?" He reached in his pockets for his knives.

Sydney was lost in thought. In her mind replayed her standing there, gun pointed at her father's head.

"Do not strike." Xemnas said, in his usual calming voice. "I am now a member. If you wish me gone, then by all means, kick me out." Xemnas looked Matt in the eyes.

"No worries. Trust granted. Xeemas is the name right? And Sydney, you can come in now."

Sydney got out of the trance. "Huh?" She looked up and walked in

"Xemnas, but you may call me X. Does something bother you, Sydney?"

"No." Of course something was. Images of her brutally murdering her father played in her head over and over

"Okay, but never hesitate to do something. That virtue has helped me throughout my whole life." Xemnas stood up.

"Trust me, I live by it." She decided then and there she will not bring her father up.

Matt looked at sydney and worried. "Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked..."

Sydney pulled up her sleeves and checked her arms. There were still bruised from the bite marks.

"What's of you're arm?!" Xemnas exclaimed.

"Wait. You still bite yourself?"

"Oh... It's a habit when I get nervous." She just realize they were all on or near a vein or artery

"Bite herself? May someone care to explain?" Xemnas looked uneasy.

"It's nothing." She pulled back down her sleeve

"Sadist. Am I right?" he looked at sydney.

"I just joined, and sadness already preceives the air..."

"Its fine. You seem like a very loyal person." Matt sees Sydney about to pass out sleeping, and he brings her to the couch and lays her down. Matt sits besides her body. "Xeemas, come here. Join Us."

Xemnas walks over. "Please, it's Xemnas."

"Sorry, I am honestly bad with names. You said I can call you X right?" He said embarrassingly.

"Correct. There's nothing to be embarassed about, it happens all the time." Xemnas smiles, but it's not visible.

"X. We should get some rest." Matt lied down next to sydney and closed his eyes.

"Yes. We shall." Xemnas pulls up a chair and gets drowsy sitting in it. (I'm going to sleep IRL, I'll come back after school tomorrow.)

Sydney woke up. "What a wonderful morning."

Matt was passed out cold, and he didn't get a good sleep...

Sydney managed to get up and decided to go outside. She loved when the sun touched her face, especially in this morning weather.

Matt wakes up. "So.. Tired..."

Sydney climbed up to the top of the roof. She sat hugging her knees, smiling away.

Xemnas yawns. "My, what a beautiful morning. Makes you glad you're alive," he said enthusiastically.

She started to hum a happy song. She couldn't remember where it was from other than some Disney movie.

"Matt! Let's go!" Xemnas exclaimed. "We should join Sydney on the roof. I know you do~"

Sydney's phone rang. She hadn't seen that number in a long time. "Hello?" She answered

(Call me Matt in this game) Matt wakes up all grumpy..

"Is this Sydney?" The voice was smaller than a full grown man. "May I ask who this is?" She was truely curious.

Matt didn't like being yelled at when he was sleeping. "What?! Who is there??!!"

"Zach, I'm in the hospital." He started to get raspy. "I'll be right there." She got down immediately and in a frantic hurry, ran off.

He walked out the door and saw Sydney running away, and he ran after her. "Where ya going?!"

"To see my brother." She didn't turn around.

"Im coming..." He ran with her.

She paid no mind and kept running to the hospital. "I hope he's forgiven me." She thought aloud

"X! Come on! Grab Steven too!" He didn't look back, but only at Sydney's worried face...

"..." Xemnas takes chase after them, and grabs Steve over his back.

Sydney ran as fast as she could until she could see the hospital.

"Sydney," Xemnas called out to her. "Wait up!"

Sydney heard X "Hurry!" She yelled back

"Matt! Come!" Xemnas exclaimed.

She got anxious and ran in to the hospital

Matt arrived. "What?!"

Sydney was already at the room. Seeing Zach in the hospital was overwhelming. She broke down and hugged him.

"Your brother im guessing?"

Sydney got up and wiped tears out of her eyes. "Yeah, this is Zach."

"Oh okay." He said.

"Hello." Zach said in a weak voice.

"Hey!" He tried to sound enthusiastic, but he didn't know if he wanted him to know about.. "them"

"Zach, what happened?" Sydney asked with concern. "I was shot." Zach didn't mount a word of pain. Instead, he seemed tough

"Shot?!" He thought to himself; Was this guy on the soldiers or the rebels?... He could have joined the rebels along with his sister, but Sydney said she didn't talk to him in a long time... And "a long time" was the time of her soldier days..

"Who shot you?" Sydney was extremely concerned now.

"What she said. Who shot you?"

Zach looked at her. She knew what that look meant. "Oh okay."

"Wait.. Who?" He said concerned... Its not like he would care, but still... It bothered him.. Matt needed to know.

"Friendly fire." Sydney looked at Matt as she said it.

Matt gulped as he was about to say this next question. "And those friends are?..."

"Soldiers. I assume you're a rebel." Zach looked at Sydney. "I also assume you are too."

"Yeah, but I THINK i can trust you..." *Sigh* "Can I?" He said slowly, but not noticeably, backed away a bit.

"Don't worry, I don't kill family." He turned directly to Sydney

Matt loo"What does he mean by I?..." Matt looks at Zach.

"You haven't told him?" Zach asked Sydney. "Well..." She replied

"Told me what?!" Matt said angrily. He couldn't believe there were secrets being hidden from him...

"Matt, could I speak to you outside?" Sydney looked at him nervously.

"Oh sure.." He was worried about this. He never screamed at her like that before...

Sydney walked out the door. Once she shut it, she said, "Anything I say stays between you and me. Plus you have to promise that this won't affect our relationship."

"It won't." He said all relieved.

"I...I murdered my father." Sydney was hoping he wouldn't ask too many questions.

"Understandable.." He said weirdly.

"Really?" Sydney said with an awkward face.

"Yeah, kinda." He thought about the time he stabbed his ex girlfriend...

"I see. Now we're eye to eye. And we should go." Sydney hastened her words.

Matt kissed her on the cheek and grabbed the doorknob. "Should I open this?.."

"Duck." Sydney got down and pulled him with her. A shot gun blast came through the door.

"Oh CRAP! What was that?!" Matt said to Sydney, holding her in protection.
