Chapter 1 start

"Do you want some more," he asked huskily, seated in his satin armchair, a glass of brandy and a cigar balanced in his hand. "...Yes," Roxas whispered, his back against the wall, a thin, yet strong, chain extended from his small neck to the ceiling, jingling softly with every movement that the chained boy made. Ansem sat forward in his chair, "you know what you must do," he said, a smirk appearing on his smooth face. Roxas nodded, his eyes falling from Ansem's face to the floor. The smirk on Ansem's face formed into a full grin, his hand rose, a sharp snap echoed through the room and his fingers made that sharp friction. A man, tall, seemed to be in his forties, walked in, a sweet smile with dark eyes. He walked towards Roxas and bent down so that he was on eye level with the boy, his hand floated up and cupped Roxas's chin. "A charming lad," the man said to Ansem without turning to him, Ansem gave a small laugh of satisfaction before standing up to leave the room, giving them privacy. The man unhooked the chain from Roxas's neck, "now..."

"I can't stand you," Sora shouted as he walked out of the room, Riku trailing behind him. "Are you fuckin' kidding me," Riku bellowed as he grabbed the smaller boy's arm and forced him to turn around, "i've put up with your shit for longer than i can remember." Sora stopped thrashing about to get out of Riku's grasp and simply stared up, his eyes wide. Riku glared darkly down at Sora, his grasp loosening slightly when Sora stopped. "What are you talking about," Sora asked, clearly about to cry, his hands shaking. "Every time you complain, you complain to me, and bitch about every little thing," he growled, his fist tightening around Sora's arm to put emphasis on the word 'bitch'. Sora gasped slightly, the pain in his arm growing, a single tear slid down his cheek, "R-Riku," he said weakly. Riku, surprised at Sora's reaction, said, "w-what." Sora's head slowly tilted up towards Riku, "i thought i was the one that was supposed to be mad," he said darkly, almost a whisper, as he fist drew back and smashed into Riku's jaw. Riku let go of Sora and fell back into the wall, his hand cupping his cheek as he glared at Sora, his eyes flashing with anger as he stood up.

Roxas rubbed his tear stained cheeks then looked at his wrists, which were covered with marks from handcuffs that had been recently removed. He looked to his right and saw the older man, asleep, with a pleasant smile gracing his lips. They were both laying on a king sized bed, covered with multi-colored satin, which they had just performed their task on. Or more like the man had performed his task, ravaging Roxas, the boy unable to move, bound up like an s&m portrait. Roxas sat up and hung his legs over the side of the bed as Ansem walked in. Ansem's smile dropped when he noticed that the man was deep asleep, he walked towards Roxas and grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room, pull him into the room that he was formerly in, and throwing him into the wall. He pulled a small package out of his pocket and then threw it at Roxas, "enjoy rat," he said snearingly, walking out and slamming the door behind him.

Riku walked slowly towards Sora, ready to attack, his hands open and shaking. He smashed his hand into Sora's face and caught in head in the act, he lifted up Sora, Sora's body dangling under his head. Sora's hands weakly grabbed at Riku's wrist, trying to free himself. Riku rushed towards the door, Sora in hand, opened it and threw Sora out. Sora landed on the grass, turning to his side and moaning as he heard the door slam shut. As he turned over he felt a sharp pain on his hip, he reached down and dove his hand into his pocket. When his hand came out, he had his car keys in his hand. Sora stared at the keys dully as they clinked together in the wind, making a high jingle. He stood up slowly, ignoring the numbing pain in his arm and the back of his head, and dragged himself to his car. He opened the door and sat in it, staring at the stearing wheel for a small moment then thrusting the keys into the ignition and turning them sharply. The engine started with a deep growl as he shut the door, his foot dipping down onto the peddle. The car raced away from the house.

Roxas slipped the first pill into his mouth, it didn't give him the same kick as usual, he then examined the pill closely. They were different pills, in anger he threwhe package at the wall, watching them drop to the floor, "Goddamnit," he shouted, his fist smashing into the wall as he stood up. He opened his door, which had surprisingly been left unlocked, he snuck down the empty corridor and into a room which him and the others had branded as 'the room'. The room was filled with pills of many different types, time passed, and Roxas had downed three bottles of the strongest pills there. By that time, everything around him was a blur of random colors that weren't even there. Roxas began to fall, as if from a cliff, then everything was dark. Ansem walked in to retrieve a reward for one of the others, to discover Roxas.

Sora sped through the street, causing other cars to screech to a halt, so as not to collide. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he dodged pedestrians here and there. The tears blured his vision till all he saw was a mix of lights. He rubbed the tears from his eyes and then when regaining his focus, he saw a car heading right towards him, the figure in the car holding a cell phone to their ear. Sora screamed as the car smashed into him, he could now see the other driver clearly, but only for a moment, it was the shocked face of Selphie. The last thought that ran through Sora's mind before he passed out was, 'that...stupid bitch.'

The sirens could be heard outside as two bed were rushed into the hospital, on one bed Sora, on the other Roxas. Both were very passed out as the two carts went opposite ways to different emergency rooms.
