Chapter 3: Planning Revenge
------------
"Hey, Zexion." I called.
"Hmm?" He said, not looking up from the book he was reading. It was a paperback book. From the balcony, I couldn't see the title of it.
"Get Riku. I need to talk to him."
Zexion sighed before setting his book down. "Why can't you get him?" He grumbled lazily as he dragged himself to find Riku.
It was lunchtime at the prison and all the juveniles were eating and talking loudly. I scanned the large room for the silver-haired adolescent I was looking for, but didn't find him. I closed my eyes and sighed as I dangled my legs off the balcony.
It had been three days since Riku and Roxas made the bet. That meant Roxas had been here for only five days. I noticed Riku was quite fond of Roxas and he had attached himself to the blonde-brunette.
Actually, I realized his hair was just dirty blonde. I suppose the lights were tricking me into thinking he had brown hair as well as blonde.
..Anyway. My main goal of the day was to ask Riku a few questions about Roxas.
At that moment, I spotted Zexion's tinted-blue hair in the crowd of all the young criminals. I looked past him and saw what I was searching for. Riku followed Zexion with a scowl on his face. He was obviously upset about this. I looked past Riku, expecting to see the spiky-haired blonde following. However, Roxas was missing. I managed a smirk. Good. That would make this a whole lot easier.
Zexion reached his seat at the table where his book lay undisturbed. "Here's Riku," He stated bluntly, sitting himself down and picking up the book. In seconds, he was absorbed in his book once again.
Riku walked in front of Zexion's chair and glared at me. "What the hell do you want?" He asked grumpily.
I ignored his rude remark and asked, "Where's Roxas?"
"He's talking to one of the officers. They're figuring out which cell he's going to be in. Why?" He eyed me suspiciously.
"Why? Because I need to ask you a few things about him. Now come up here, so any unwanted ears won't hear." I told him.
He grunted unhappily but climbed the stairs anyway. He crouched down next to me and mumbled. "Hurry up. I didn't get any food yet and I want to eat."
I ignored him once again. "Okay. How old is he?"
Riku sighed. Probably because he didn't want to share his new friend's information to me. But he had no choice, and he knew it. "Fifteen." I blinked. My age.
"Okay... Why is he in here?"
"He's here because he stole money from a grocery store. Not just five munny, he stole like one hundred million munny! Of course, he denies that he did it. He says it was a look-a-like who did it." He took a moment to laugh. "I mean, who would like Roxas? He's got this spiky hair that sticks up everywhere. Plus his hair is a weird color. Sometimes, in the light, it looks brown. So who in this world would look like such a weird person?" Riku smirked. "He's just in denial."
Man, Riku could talk a lot. I remained expressionless as he finished talking. He finally sat down and stretched out his legs. "Anything else you want to know?"
"Yes. Is he afraid of anything?" I asked.
"Not that I know of."
"Are you positive?" I eyed him. I knew he was lying. A newcomer in prison would obviously spill his secrets with a guy who was nice to him. And I'm pretty sure Roxas has a weakness. Every boy does.
"Er..well, no. Like I said, if he is afraid of anything, he hasn't told me." Riku replied. He shifted his aqua eyes twice before looking at me.
"Liar. Now tell me what he's afraid of!" I demanded.
Riku backed away a little. "Alright, alright. He's afraid of..."
"Of what?" I asked, becoming impatient.
"Of Axel."
"Axel?" I was a bit surprised. Axel was a little on the crazy side, but he was pretty friendly.
"Yep." Riku nodded and shut his eyes.
"..Why?" I asked.
"Roxas is just terrified of fire. So naturally, he doesn't like Axel." Riku responded. His stomach made a loud noise and he frowned. "Okay, are we done with this interrogation? Because I'm starved." He stood and looked down on me.
"Right. I'm done." I answered. With that, Riku turned away from me and ran back down the stairs to get his food.
Now I just needed a certain pyro redhead's cooperation...
-----------
"You want me to what?" The pyro scratched his head, confused about my request. I had confronted him after questioning Riku. He was just about to tell his prison friends a story about burning something down when I interrupted him. After, he willingly followed me away from his friends so we could discuss the matter in privacy. He didn't even try to act stupid and defy me. He was frightened of me even if he didn't admit.
"You heard me." I replied cooly.
"Hmm.." Axel mulled over what I had asked him to do. "It sounds like fun, but where do I get a lighter? You do know, none of the people here actually trust me when I'm anywhere near fire, right?"
"Hmm," I mused. "Good point. Very well, I'll get you a lighter so you can accomplish your... mission."
"Great! I can't wait." Axel chuckled madly. "This is going to be a lot of fun!" He exclaimed.
Just as he was about to run off, I grabbed his arm. "Hold on. Do not tell anyone of this plan. Understood?"
He frowned. "Not even Zexy?" he asked, calling Zexion by his most hated nickname. "Or Riku?"
"You can tell Zexion as long as you make sure that he won't tell anyone else. I'm pretty sure he won't, but I don't word of this spreading. We need to...surprise Roxas with this. So don't tell Riku. Got it?"
Axel nodded. "Alright. Tell me when you get that lighter." He grinned before wondering off, back to his friends.
I grinned as well. I think I was going to have more fun watching then actually participating my plan of action.
-----------
I knew exactly where to get the lighter.
Some of the juveniles in the prison were addicted to cigarettes. Even though it slowly killed them, some of the guards let the older adolescents smoke. They weren't allowed to, but sometimes the teenagers would just beg so much that the guards gave in and let them have a smoke. And by now, the smokers in the prison knew which guards would allow them to do it and which wouldn't. And I knew one guy who could get a hold of a lighter without getting caught.
"Tidus."
"Whoa! Namine! Uh, I..erm.." Tidus jumped at my sudden appearance. He frantically tried to make up in excuse, thinking I was going to wound him somehow.
"Relax," I told him, and the blonde shut his mouth and calmed down.
We were sitting at the table for dinner. I had snuck in the crowd of prisoners who wanted their food. I found Tidus sitting alone at the far end of one of the tables and had made my way over to him. He had gotten his food quickly, like he usually does. After all, he was a thief. And he was damn good at stealing and getting away with it. He had avoided the police and the people he stole from for several years until he finally slipped up and they caught him.
He was also a light smoker. He didn't smoke much, but he'd sometimes light a cigarette when one of the guards would allow him to. Which was exactly the reason why Tidus was the right guy for this job.
"Tidus, I need you to do me a favor." I paused, curious as to what he'd say.
He stayed silent for a while before speaking up. "A-Alright. What do you want?"
"I need you to get me a lighter." I answered.
The blonde blinked twice before asking. "You smoke?"
I smirked ever so slightly. "No, I don't." I then silenced myself, daring him to question me more.
However, he was smart enough to mind his own business. "O-Okay. When do you need it?"
"As soon as possible." I stated.
"Consider it done."
I grinned again, as he left.
Then I stood up from my chair and went to grab a carrot to munch on. This was all going according to plan. Once Roxas tasted my wrath he would be mortally scarred for life. And then he'd realize he made a mistake on that very first day he came here. I wasn't nice like he thought I was. I wasn't kind. I was cruel.
And soon he would learn that.
End of Chapter 3
Namine is an evil genius. Man, I made her so cruel. But I think it's pretty funny. And yes she's OOC, but I don't care anymore.
Poor Roxas has no idea what he's got himself into.
Well, hopefully I'll get a lot of reviews for this chapter. And hopefully you haven't given up on me yet. Well, thanks for reading and please leave a review!
