Framed
Disclaimer: I don't own the sly cooper franchise but I own the OCs I created in this story
(Carmelita's POV)
2 days. 2 days I've been stuck in this torture chamber. Last time I checked these places were prohibited. The dark stone walls were lined with various methods of torture and weaponry. I hung there chained to the wall by iron shackles as the water that dripped from the ceiling above me glistened the metal. Looks like they weren't about to let me attempt another breakout anytime soon.
I'd felt the earth shake earlier and thought someone else was trying to escape. Hope it was Sly. I've overheard what the guards are planning to do to him next and it's not pretty. Its gone quiet now so either they've escaped or been captured. 3 angry-looking guards burst into chamber. Please be a breakout, please be a breakout, please be a breakout.
"Right how'd your little boyfriend manage to escape?" the head guard said whilst threatening me with a knife.
Get in! Wait a second I don't have a boyfriend.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I yelled back.
"Sly Cooper, how'd he escape?"
"Ok 1. He's not my boyfriend, 2. We're not working together and 3. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN THIS PLACE FOR THE PAST 2 DAYS!"
Idiots
"You two seemed pretty close a few days ago"
"Well if you're in a place were most people want to kill you, your choice of company is very limited"
The guard finally lowered his knife from my throat and turned to leave.
"Incompetent morons" I muttered
The guard then turned and punched me straight in the gut. I take it they may have heard me.
"Care to say that again Fox!" he said lifting a lump of hot coal towards my stomach.
"In-com-pet-ent mor-ons"
The coal scorched my fur, but I wasn't going to give them the pleasure of hearing me scream out of my own refusal to show weakness. The pain inflicted remained as intense as it was even after they'd left, but I took comfort in knowing Sly was safe. Well as safe as he could be.
After a few hours the finally pain went down and I received my next visitor. Should have known she'd come to gloat sooner or later.
"Well, well, well never thought I'd see you in chains Ironsides." Neyla chuckled.
"Neyla what do I owe the displeasure?"
"Oh I just came here to ask your pin code, I have to collect my winnings somehow."
Ha, she still hasn't figured it out yet. Looks like I get the joy of seeing her face after all. She started to look at me strangely as I began sniggering at this discovery.
"What are you laughing at Fox? I won remember"
"God you really are that dumb aren't you?"
"What on earth are you talking about?"
"You never won the bet dipstick"
"Funny last time I checked I captured the Cooper Gang ergo I win"
"Nope you captured 2 out of 3 members of the Cooper Gang ergo you don't win"
She looked at me confused. The shock on her face is priceless. I'm so glad it get to see this.
"The turtle, Bentley, he wasn't in the van ride here" I cheerfully explained.
"Aww crud forgot about the turtle" she muttered under her breath
"And now with Cooper's escape I'd say I won"
She now looked like she was going to kill me with the arrival of this news. This was working out better than the interrogation we had. Expect she did something scary. She smiled at me with evil beaming from her eyes.
"Well at least I have something to take out my stress on" she said showing me a tazer she'd hidden behind her back.
I tried not to show fear, but I'm pretty sure she already knows my dislike of tazers. She raised it towards my neck. This is going to hurt.
"Say I'm better than you" she ordered
"Get bent Aahh!"
"Say it"
"What is it with you guys and tazers Arghh!"
"I thought it was very suiting given your choice of weaponry; now say it!"
"Never!"
She delivered another shock. Smoke started to come off my fur.
"Neyla I swear if you keep this up I'll eventfully smell like bacon, chew my arm off and then proceed to hit you it as I bleed to death!" I threatened.
"That's a bit extreme don't you think?" she began to laugh.
"Well it's kinda hard to think when your brain's getting fried"
"I'll take your word for it"
Our little meeting got interrupted when a group of guard entered.
"Sorry to interrupt constable we've been order to escort the prisoner to the blimp" One guard said.
"Not to worry I'm finished with her" she smirked "Ta ta Ironsides"
"Feel free to let the door hit you on the way out now"
Great I finally get another chance to escape and I'm too weak to flaming do anything. Thanks Neyla! Sly's breakout earlier must have got them freaked out if there transferring me via blimp. As desperate as I am to escape I will not jump off a blimp that's about 60 ft in the air without a parachute (maybe).
As the guards lead me across the stone walls of the prison I saw how Sly managed to get out. Using a tram to break through the wall wasn't exactly an option in my case, but judging by the amount of rubble it seems rather effective. I looked at the drop from the wall. The distance to the ground was one I could normally make, but my leg is still a bit weak from the tranquilizer dart and if I landed wrong I'd probably break it. The armed guards also played a reasonable part in making my decision not to jump.
They threw me into a small metal room once we were on board. There were no windows, my hands were still chained behind my back and the door was solid steel. I could try charging the door; it might even make the time go by more quickly.
"Guess it's time to see if I'm as hard-headed as everyone says" I said backing towards the furthest wall.
I charged it repeatedly, throwing my weight against the door and wrecking my shoulder in the process. It was quickly tiring me out, I could only do one more charge. I raced forward head first into the door giving myself a concussion and gradually blacked out. The last thing I saw before I slipped into unconsciousness was the dent I'd left in the door from my last attempt. Heh, maybe I am slightly hard-headed after all.
(Normal POV)
As the events of the night unfolded a lone figure lurked silently in the shadows watching. The Cooper Gang chased the Contessa across the winding walls of the prison, disposing of her minions until she finally escaped on the blimp, but the figure remained still. When the gang left to celebrate their reunion it turned towards the river.
"I'm coming Fox"
A/N: Yay new chapter is done and it's finally going to be out of prison next chapter. Just a random thought here but does anyone else think that the song 'What is this Feeling?' from the musical Wicked really suits Carmelita and Neyla? I'm also writing a new story which should be up sometime in the next fortnight. Well until next time BYE!
