******************
"Hurry up!" Maxsodin called angrily as she leaned against a wall. No response. With an impatient growl, she stalked off down the hallway. She heard Braxyd call for her as she rounded two more corners. Her frown deepened. He should have answered before. She stopped in front of a door. She turned the knob, bored out of her mind. The door seemed to open on its own. Looking over her shoulder, Maxy found no one was watching. Quietly, she slipped into the room and shut the behind her without even the slightest sound.
******************
"Daxjorn?" Nexan figured she could if she could find her she would know where Braxyd and Maxsodin were. She seemed to always know where everyone was.
"Shut up Superior! All I've heard all day is your screaming up and down the hallways for III, IV, and VII. I'm trying to rest." Xahssa glared at Nexan then continued, "Braxyd drug Maxsodin to The Castle That Never Was, and Daxjorn ran off somewhere. Happy?"
******************
Braxyd, upon hearing Max somewhere far far away (well, as far as one can be two hallways away), stepped out of the kitchen with a jelly donut in his hand. Brushing the crumbs of a former powdered donut, he glanced around in the hallway, finding nobody nearby. "Max?" The only thing that answered him was the unquiet quiet in the Castle That Never Was.
Groaning in exasperation, he set the unfinished jelly donut down on a nearby table and walked down the hall. Max always managed to get herself lost wherever she went, even if she was only going to the bathroom. Maybe he'd be able to find her wandering somewhere looking for the bathroom.
*****************
"Ow..." Maxsodin blinked in the darkness, slight pain throbbing in her head as a blunt object was unsettled and fell upon her. "God..." she turned and was struck by two other unsettled objects.
Finally, after what seemed an age of being randomly injured in the dark, Maxsodin was still. "I need help..." she muttered, and sat down, waiting for it to come.
*****************
Nexan appeared in front of The Castle That Never Was. She brushed her hair back to the correct side of her face and started to walk forward. She saw a light go on in one of the upper windows. She walked through the doors and then opened a dark portal into the room where she had seen the light. Inside she found Maxsodin sitting cross-legged on the floor reading a heavy volume of Xemnas's journal entries. Two more were on the floor beside her. She looked up, startled.
"Nexan, What are you doing here?" Maxsodin closed the book and stood, brushing off her coat. She bumped her head on the book shelf above her that housed even more of the large black volumes and winced, rubbing the already forming lump. "I've been hit four times in the same spot on my head, in a span of less than five minutes. I've lost Braxyd, even though he was the one to bring me here. Why am I here anyway?"
Nexan sighed and shook her head. "Let' s go find him and find out."
*****************
Xahssa stepped into the "meeting room" in CO and found Seycax, Xahnan and Nyxick sitting at a table. Their hoods were drawn up except for Nyx's, and they all turned to look at her when she entered, rising to their feet as she closed the door. "Hello V, VI and VIII. Please, sit down."
They all sat down quickly, and Xahssa resumed her seat next to the Superior's. "Does anyone know where Daxjorn is? Or even Nexan?" They all shook their heads in a rather creepy unanimous way. Xahssa sighed and rested her head on her hand. Jesus. . . Without Nexan, this meeting was going to go to the dogs.
*****************
"Well this is convenient..." Maxsodin mumbled, stumbling behind Nexan. Her stride was too long, too fast for her.
Nexan whirled on Maxsodin, annoyance flashing on her face. "Can't you walk any faster?"
Maxsodin looked at her helplessly. Nexan sighed. "Just hurry up, okay?"
Maxsodin gave a loud, obnoxious sigh. Nexan twitched, and kept walking.
"Ooooooh Braaaaxyd! Come out you loser!"
