Chapter 3: No Escape



Roxas sat up groggily. Where was he? He remembered sleeping, then a strange sweet smell&



Wait! Where were Sora and Riku?

The blond teen tried to stand up, but realized the sweet smell had left his head feeling unbearably heavy. Instead he leaned back on&what? The boy turned toward whatever he was lying on.

Hay. The question of his whereabouts arose again. He looked and saw he was sitting in a cell with a huge, wooden door with a small, barred window and a single lit torch on the wall.

Where are we?

Roxas nearly jumped out of his skin upon hearing his brothers voice.

Sora?

Down here.

Roxas realized he was partially lying on his brothers back.

Oh. Sorry. With great effort, he pushed himself onto the cold stone floor.

Sora half-smiled. Its ok. The brunette sat up woozily. But whats going on?

I dont know&maybe Maleficent decided to kill us anyway& Roxas stared down at the floor.

Sora tried to stand up, but found himself in the same position as Roxas. He fell to his knees.

Ugh&what was that stuff? My body&

He tried again, and managed to stay on his feet.

Careful& his brother warned.

Im fine& The brown haired twin staggered toward the thick, heavy door.

What are you-SORA!

The brown-haired boy had fallen to his knees again, this time right in front of the door. His brother reached to him, but couldnt get up. You okay?

Sora shook his head. He gasped and shook it again. Rox!

What? the worried blonde ignored the nickname.

Shake your head.

Why&?

Just do it!

Sighing, Roxas shook his head vigorously. Hey! I feel better!

Sora stood up, now completely in balance. I know&weird&

What was that stuff?

It doesnt matter right now. Cmon!

Roxas walked up to Sora. What are you doing?

Getting us out of here! The brunette twin then rammed his shoulder into the door.

Roxas frowned. Sora, thats not gonna& He stopped. He knew his brother wasnt going to listen, so he figured he could give it a try.

A few minutes and a couple of sore shoulders later, the blonde took a breather, resting against the wall.Its no use, bro.

We just have to try harder!

Roxas sighed again. Sora never gave up. That was a good thing, but sometimes&The boy checked his surroundings again. Nothing looked like it could help. There was just the hay and the torch&Wait! &No. He couldnt burn down the door. The guards would catch on too quickly, and the smoke would probably suffocate them before the job was done. There had to be another&AHA!

Hey, bro.

Sora halted his attempt to break down the down. What? He noticed his twin jiggling he torch out of its rusty wall socket. What are you doing?

Roxas waved the torch around rapidly to put the flame out, making the cell suddenly dark. Only a little light came through the small window. Gimme a boost he said, carefully walking back to the door.

&I dont get it.

Duh! You lift me up so I can reach through the window and use the pointy tip of the torch to open the lock!

Sora blinked. Oh.

Lets do this.

Sora stood next to the door and clasped his hands together, while Roxas used them as a step stool. He reached his arm and the torch through the bars.

I can reach the lock&but I cant get the tip in.

Try breaking the lock instead.

Are you insane? The guards would hear!

Immediately after he spoke, Roxas dropped the torch.

CLANG!-ANG!-ang!-ng! The sound echoed off down the hallway. The boys froze.

What was that? cried a guard.

It came from over there! yelled another, running toward the boys cell.

Sora and Roxas moved away from the door just before it swung open. The two sentries stepped into the cell, one holding another torch. He put it in the empty ring-socket and glaring at the twins.

Trying to escape, huh? he growled.

Doesnt matter! said the second. Youre set for execution at dawn! He emphasized the words by sliding his finger across his throat.

What?! Sora cried. We didnt do any-hkgk!

He was grabbed by the collar by the first sentry. Shut up! The man slapped the boy several times.

Roxas punched the guard in the chin, making him drop Sora to the ground. Leave him alone!

The other guard punched the blonde in the stomach. You too, ya little snot!

Sora stood up, only to be knocked down again. His brother was pushed down next to him. Th guards started kicking them in the sides.

Thisll teach you punks!

The two men soon got bored of beating the twins. One of them took the torch while the other locked the door behind them. Enjoy your stay! they laughed.

The two boys lay on the stone floor in pain.

We cant give up& whispered Sora, tears running down his face.

Roxas didnt answer, but he was crying too.

They were left in the near-dark to their inevitable fate.

-AaAaAaAaA-



Riku awoke in a nicer plane than his friends. He found himself lying on a soft bed in a beautifully furnished room, with a tray of fine food just within his reach.

He tried to sit up, but his head started to spin. He shook his head, and it cleared up immediately. Just then, he sensed a presence.

Sora? he called out. Roxas? Is that you?

Suddenly, a familiar woman walked into the room. Riku wasnt surprised.

Maleficent! Where are they?

The queen smirked. That is none of your concern at the moment. I am here to make you an offer Im sure you will accept. But come now. Eat. She pointed to the tray of food.

Riku glared at her warily, until she frowned and summoned a servant girl.

You! she instructed to the serf,Eat this! She handed the brown-haired girl an apple. The girl didnt hesitate to take a bite. The queen turned back to Riku.

Its perfectly alright she cooed.

Riku stared at the girl to make sure she didnt keel over, and then took a bite from an apple of his own. So&whats your offer?

Maleficent smiled. I want you to join me.

The silver-haired teen nearly choked on his apple. What?! Are you serious?!

Of course, dear. You are just the one I need to lead my army. In return, Ill give you anything your heart desires, including this room.

You think Id betray everyone, just like that? Never!

I see&well, I guess you shall never find out where your friends are&

Rikus eyes widened, and he sneered. You&

Ah, well. It cant be helped. The evil witch turned to the servant girl.Fetch a guard. Now! The girl bowed and ran from the room.

Riku hung his head. He couldnt protect his friends&or&could he?

Wait!

Maleficent looked at him. Are you reconsidering my offer?

The boy kept his head down, his hair covering his eyes. If I join you&will you take me to my friends?

The cruel woman grinned evilly. Of course.

Fine.

AS they spoke, the servant girl watched from the doorway. After the conversation ended, she gasped and scurried toward the dungeons.
