Upon opening her eyes the light scolded her. Then the frigged air came to her attention It was cold.

Disoriented, she placed palms onto the icy floor to push herself up. She was shaking. Her whole body ached from tremors, and where it didn't ache, it was numb. Her teeth had begun to chatter. She reached a cold hand to her face, where warm tears were beginning to form in her eyes, blurring the bright room around her

She didn't know what she was doing there, or where she had been. She struggled to call her memory back to consciousness.

Then, a loud bang disturbed the quieted room. Echoing like the sound of something hard that had slammed against metal.

Then again there was a sound, much closer to her. Her head snapped to the direction of the noise and through a door a new chill entered the room. She blinked hard, her wet eyelashes touching just above her cheeks.

In the doorway stood a tall slender figure, and a sudden violent recall of her previous events. Her tearful eyes widened in fear as they met his, and she cautiously moved away from him. This was the man that had kidnapped her, the man who had dragged her kicking and screaming form Twilight Town, Away from her friends, away from her quest to Sora. She had moved backwards until she had hit the wall, watching him all the while, as he did her.

"Where am I?" Kairi demanded her teeth chattering loudly. The room filled with Axel's dark laughter

"Your stuck" he said lightly, his eyebrows raised at the defiance of the shivering girl. She glared back at him boldly. He held her gaze.

"No I mean-"she began, but Axel interrupted her

"Well, bathrooms over there" he waved a lazy arm at a doorway in between them,then turned.

"Wait!" she called after him

"Toodaloo" he called over her, walking out of the room.

Frustrated, she put her head in her hands. She needed to get out of there, there must be a way.

For the first time she took in her surroundings. She was in a brightly lit room. The walls were steel, the floor was steel the ceiling was steel, and oddly high. There were no windows, there were only two doors the one that Axel had come through, and the one that he designated as the bathroom.

She got to her knees, her legs still numb. She wasn't sure if it was wise to stand. Pushing up from her palm's she slowly got to the feet. Bracing herself on the wall she took one step, then another. On the third, her foot tilted to the side and she lost her balance, falling straight down. Her ankle emitted a strong, but dulled pain. She bit down on her lip bringing her foot around to hold it in her cold hands.

She sat alone in the middle of the quiet room. For now, all there was to do was wait.
