"Cyrus…" he winced coldly.

Cyrus looked down at him, bringing his face closer to his. "Do I know you?" he walked around him, judging him per say. He screwed up his face and turned calmly to one of the guards. "Take them to the downstairs cellar. We cant have them getting out." Ash and Dawn felt a ping of uncertainty sting their hearts.

The Grunt pulled up Dawn again and she winced in pain, agitating Ash even more. The other two Grunts restrained him and pushed him forward, with their unmerciful hands still gripped firmly on him. They chucked Dawn in first, into cellar no.8. Then they threw Ash into another cellar, cellar no.9 to be exact. Both of them were scared to be alone, especially in a creepy place like this.

Dawn was the first to ark up. She flailed her arms around screaming. "Ash!" she yelled.

Ash started got up from where he was thrown and just started to run to the door.

"Don't even think about it! Slam!" A voice stopped him as, whoever it was, slammed the door shut. There seemed to be no way out! The door was thick and bolted, the hinges were fat and it didn't look like there would be anyway of taking them off. There was only one window in both their cellars, and it was a round circle coming from the high point of their doors. Ash fell to the ground, thinking there was nothing to do… he failed.

"Ash!" Dawn continued screaming. Ash moved to the side of his cellar, getting closer to hers. He started to bang on the wall violently yelling to her. He put his ear to the wall so he could her what the other Grunts were saying.

"Will you shut up b*tch!" one of them said. Then he threw her to the floor. He kneeled down at her paralysed state, running his finger down from her chest, to her stomach, down to the inside of her thigh. "You should be happy to be here, cause we're happy you are." He continued slyly. Dawn was absolutely paralysed with fear. And now so was Ash.

"Strip!" he ordered. Ash's heart seemed to stop as he continued to bang on the wall, more violently then ever.

Dawn had no idea what to do. What option did she have?

"C'mon, strip!" he yelled impatiently. She just curled up into a ball and moved deeper into the corner, refusing. He kicked her hard, making her yelp.

"Please…" she whimpered. He kicked her again, harder. What choice did she have now? Tears were flowing down her cheeks as she started to pull off her black top.

"C'mon!" the other Grunt yelled impatiently. She continued; until she only had her undergarments left. She stopped there.

"C'mon!" the other yelled. Dawn feared what they would do after that and tried to sprint to the door. Only to be forcefully pulled back and thrown back down. Through that process it seemed that one of the straps to her bra had snapped. She put her arms over herself in attempt to keep the private things private.

Ash frantically looked around. He looked and looked and looked… and then his eyes met with a trap door to the right of the door. He thought it might have been used to let Pokemon in and out without actually opening the main door. To his surprise the hinges didn't seem that strong, and he easily and quickly pulled off the little door. Leaving a big enough escape way…

"Look you little bi-"

"That's enough!" Interrupted Ash.

"Ash!" Dawn exclaimed. She quickly put on her main cloths leaving some behind. She rushed on her black top, skirt, and boots; leaving the rest behind in a hurry, and raced to Ash's side while the Grunts were distracted.

"You little…" one of the Grunts hissed, Ash only smirked and slammed the door shut, locking them in… for now.

Both Ash and Dawn ran hearing the faint cries of the Grunts they had locked in.

"Where now?" shuddered Dawn.

"This way!" he said firmly, grabbing her hand making sure she was with him. To their small relief they saw the light of an open door. They ran, and ran, and ran; never looking back. They raced under the door and back out to the snow. They heard the whine of an alarm and saw flashing red lights surround the building. They figured it was an alarm for their escape so they ran faster, and as far as they could.

They ran for at least half an hour before exhaustion stopped them cold.

They both fell to their knees in the rough snow, puffing and gasping for their breath. Ash moved to his side and placed a hand on Dawn's shoulder.

"A…are you ok-" his croaky sentence was cut short when he burst into fits of spluttering and coughs. Dawn placed a gentle hand on his back to comfort him as his lungs desperately hooted out snow. When he re-caught his breath he turned back to her and overlooked her condition.

"I'm fine." She said softly.

Ash lifted up one knee, using it to stable himself as he lifted himself up along with Dawn. Dawn brushed closer to him, burying her face into his chest. "We'll never get out of here!" she sobbed, clinging onto his shirt.

Ash looked down at her and pulled her into him, holding her close.

"What if she's right?" he thought. "What if we don't make it out…"

AN: Sorry it's so short, but I'm kind of running out of ideas :s
