Disney Twisted Wonderland ~ The Keyblade Princess

{🍎}Chapter 43: Finding that Strength{🍏}

Before I could react, Lea was leaning close to my face and was about to kiss me, if only a certain dance instructor didn't interrupt him. We both hear someone clearing their throat to catch our attention, we looked back and saw Lauriam standing there, Lea pulled away and I sat there feeling flustered.

Lauriam: If you two are done, I suggest we head back to our Dorm, Mae has something to share to you Roxie
Roxana: Oh, okay... I'll see you later Lea
Lea: Yeah, maybe when you're not practicing we can finish where we left off
Roxana: Ummm... Yeah, see you later

I left the botanical gardens feeling red, and hurried back to my dorm, where Mae was waiting in the living room with Enki by the window.

Roxana: Mae, Enki, what's wrong?
Mae: Roxie... We were planning to tell you this, but... Avery didn't make it, she was shot straight from the head
Roxana: [eye widen] Avery's... Dead?
Mae: Yeah... And... I wanted to ask you, did you knew that man you lived with when you 6 years old was not your father?
Roxana: To be honest... I knew he wasn't my father, but I he treated me like I was his own daughter
Mae: [smile] Also, do you know what your real father looks like?
Roxana: No... Not a clue
Mae: Here, I found a photo of him in your room back at Earth, and also a letter in the music box you had, it was addressed to you.

Mae handed me a photo and it was me when I was 6 years old, my mother, but she looked a bit like a teen, a man standing next to her, he had the same gold eye colors like me but different hair color. His hair is dark while the bottom of his hair is yellow, but what made my hand shake was that Xigbar was in the photo next to my mom. I opened the letter and read every single word my mother wrote.

Dear Roxana

If you're reading this, it means you are in grave danger. I wanted to take you with me when you were 10 years old, but I couldn't take you with me because a new threat has decided to go and attack my friends and family. I can't bring you with me because your life will be at risk along with your memories, so I have to leave you here for your safety. However, I wasn't expecting that a blast from the past would come back to haunt me, they plan to take you away from my life and destroy the final piece of my life. Right now, I'm trying to get rid of this threat and hopefully bring you to safety, but I fear that this threat has been able to find out where you are. I need you to not go to school when you turn 15 years old, and head to Cecelia's Antiquity Shop and listen to what Cece is about to tell you, she understands the situation and will guide you to safety. I hope this letter reaches to you soon, I love you Roxana, please know that I care for you and whatever happens, do not trust anyone in a black cloak that claims to work for Organization XIII.

Sincerely
Your mother, Selene Love

Roxana: Mom... You left this letter just for me [tear up] Mom...
Mae: Roxie, your step father actually knew what was going on and why your mother left, he told us that Selene told him about her situation and why she ran away from Twisted Wonderland. She ran away from home with you was because Xemnas wanted to take what made Selene happy... He instructed Xigbar to spy on Selene but he bump into someone Selene didn't want him to meet
Roxana: It was me... I met Xigbar before
Mae: Huh? When?
Roxana: When I was turning 3 yrs old, I met him outside away from everyone else, then when I turned 5 yrs old, I met him again and he handed me a necklace, he told me that Xemnas was my grandfather and he wanted to take me to the castle, but my mom arrived and yelled at Xigbar to stay away from me, finally when it was my 6th birthday... We... We were attacked and my dad sang to me one last time before hearing a gun shot and my mom calling out to him
Mae: Roxie...
Enki: So that's that? Your birthday is not just the day you were born, it is also the anniversary of the day the Organization attacked your home
Roxana: Mae Senpai, I really do wanna get rid of the Organization but... I wanna know why, why did they take my mom? Why?
Mae: I wanna know too Roxana, really I do
Roxana: I just wanna hear it from my mothers words, I wanna know everything... I'm going to bed Mae
Mae: What about lunch?
Roxana: I'm not hungry
