Experimentation

by XionTheBlackRose

Sora is kidnapped on his way home from school and finds himself in a dark room with another boy by the name of Vanitas. What does this kid have to do with the strange people in lab coats and the strange experiments going on? And with the help of his new friend, can Sora escape? Very short chapters but there are 42 chapters. No Yoai intended.

39. Chapter 39

I stood, barely able to get to my feet. I see blazes everywhere, on all sides, I swear I'm seeing double now. That ringing hasn't gone away, and it's the only thing I can hear now. I think someone is calling to me, but I can't tell, the ringing overpowers the voice. I can't even place where the voice is coming from, or even who it belongs to. I finally get to my feet, but still having double vision, I can't tell which direction the door is actually in.

I'm going to die here, disoriented like this!

I lean against the wall as the bright flames engulf everything. There is no hope now. There is no getting out. I have to shut my eyes to stop the dizziness from taking me under. Soon I begin to choke from all the smoke and all I can think to do is clutch Sora's cold body against me, trying to keep him from the flames' grasps.

I slide down the wall, cowering in its corner, trying to get all the clean oxygen I can muster. I open my eyes slightly, the smoke from the fire burns them greatly, but I force them to stay open. Someone is coming towards me. And it isn't someone on fire like I would have expected, since this whole place is ablaze.

"Vanitas!"

I hear the faint scream as if it were far away, but the person is right in front of me. She crouches down and examines my face. Even with the still double vision, I know exactly who this is. Namine has come back for me. Although I'm grateful, I think she's an idiot for risking herself and coming back in this hell house.

She has a look of determination in her eyes and she hoists me up the best she can and carefully, but with a brisk pace, brings me to the double doors. I have to shut my eyes again because of the smoke, but I won't help her open the door, I'm too afraid to let go of my hold of Sora, afraid he'll just disappear if I let go. And the next thing I know, I'm outside, in the bright sun, breathing in fresh air as it blows past me. I turn slightly and catch a real glimpse of the terrible fire that's taking the place that killed my soul. But now, with freedom, my soul has returned.
