The Closet
……..
……..
……..
Buzz opened his eyes, reaching back to rub the back of his head as he tries to figure out what happened. Images of Cliff and the red of Jessie's hair came slamming into his mind and he bolted up, looking around in darkness so thick that he couldn't see the hands in front of his face. Scanning around he finally looks up, seeing dim light coming through slats at the top of the room, recognizing this to be a closet. An image of Jessie popped into his mind again and he stood up, wondering where she is.
"Hey Jess, where are you?" he manages to get out, warily stepping forward with his hands out to find his way in the darkness. "Are you in here?"
He feels something under his foot and before he knows it he's back on the ground, having slipped on something round, sitting back up with a curse as he looks around. He suddenly hears a faint sound, standing up suddenly he tries to make his way over to it. Coming closer he can distinguish the sound of soft muttering, a familiar voice as his eyes opened wide, speeding up his pace. Stopping for a moment he listens to the darkness, the sounds getting close, he now able to make out the soft mutterings of a female voice, to low to hear what they are as he makes his way over to her. He can hear the sounds getting closer and closer the faster he moves, he thinks he's almost there before he again trips over something, stumbling to the ground. Groaning as he stands up he reaches out a hand to push himself up, stopping as he realizes his hand rests on something soft, the sounds of muttering coming right in front of him, muffled now as he closes the space between them.
"Jessie?" he asks, kneeling down next to her as he rests his hand on her shoulder.
"Dark.. Too dark…" she mutters, choking back a sob as she curls up, going on about darkness and storage.
Feeling his blood go cold Buzz reaches down and gently picks her up into a seated position, letting her rest back on his arm. Looking down at her, in what light there is he can see that she's very pale and reaches out a hand, resting it on her soft skin, trying to reassure her.
"Jessie, its me, its all right," he leans down, whispering to her softly, what feels like a vice squeezing his heart at how much pain she's going through right now.
"Not storage again.. get me out of here… anyone please get me out of here." She replies, still in the world of nightmares as if she didn't hear him.
"Jess…" is all he is able to choke out before hugging her gently, one hand running through the length of her hair as she tries to reassure her however he can, silently willing her to wake up. The next comment he hears makes him open his eyes in relief.
"Buzz..? Where are we…" she asks in a shaky voice, hands gripping onto his arms like a lifeline as she sees she's in the abysmal darkness.
"We're in the closet," he replies helping her stand up. "Cliff must have brought us here, for what I don't know.."
"Buzz, I'm sorry for getting you into this" she speaks softly, looking down to where the ground would be, only to feel a finger forcing her to look back up.
"Its not your fault," he replies, smiling gently "None of this is your fault, you were dragged into this too, none of us expected this to happen." With that he reluctantly lets her go, only to reach down and takes her hand gently.
He can't see her smile but he feels her squeeze his hand in gratitude because he knows that she won't be afraid if he's here.
"So… How do we get out of here?" she asks him, swallowing slightly as she looks around in the abysmal blackness.
"We hopefully find the door," Buzz replies, looking around for a moment before he sees the dim light coming through the slots. "That's the door there, we just have to get over to it, I've fallen a couple of times already."
As carefully as they can they try to make there way through the darkness to where the door is, it wasn't as easy as they thought it was going to be. Both of them took a couple of spills. Looking up to the slats they find that they arn't even halfway there yet. Continuing along they seem to do fine until Buzz slips on something that he hopes is a pencil, not only crashing to the ground, but since he had Jessie's hand she went down as well.
"Are you okay Jess?" Buzz asks, sitting up and turns his head to where she is
"I'm fine, are you okay? That was a bad spill" she replies, a distinct worried tone in her voice.
Buzz only smiles and nods, then remembers that she can't see it and verbally tell her that he's okay. Smiling in relief she reaches down, holding her hands out so that he could use them to pull himself up. Understanding Buzz reaches up and takes her hands gently, being careful not to pull her down again as he uses her grip to pull himself up, in the process accidentally, or maybe no so accidentally, pulling her closer to him. Freezing slightly at how close she is to him she can do nothing but stand there, staring at him with a confused expression, and something else, something hidden deeper as her subconscious tries to hide it. Realizing that he still has her by the shoulders she breaks eye contact and clears her throat, turning not only to go but also to hide her blush.
"We better continue before…he comes back."
Buzz could only stare at her, frozen in place as well. He had seen the look in her eyes, the look hidden behind the confusion, and also knows that she knew as well. Trying to keep the hurt look on his face, mostly at himself for unconsciously doing that watches her start to go, reacting before his mind has a chance to catch up. Reaching out he grabs her hand again, firmly but gently, halting her progress.
"Jess wait, please." He asks, watching her turn around, and is again drawn to her eyes, an emerald green even in the darkness and swallows, trying to figure out what he's going to say.
"What is it?" she replies, a bit confused "We need to get out of her right?"
"Jess, come here, please?" he asks, taking this carefully.
Jessie could only look at him, the rational part of her say to keep going but she cant seem to move, then before she knows it she does move, in Buzz's direction. Going pale she wonders what's going on, never having felt this before, confusion and fear and.. and something else, something she didn't understand. Moving over she comes to a stop in front of Buzz, her eyes drawn up to his own blue ones and finds that she's unable to pull her gaze away this time, starting to shake slightly.
Buzz sees her going even more pale then she is now, trying to read her eyes and is shocked at what he sees, she's scared! But why he wonders.
"Jessie…?" he asks unable to stop himself as he reaches his hand out to touch her cheek, feeling her jump slightly, eyes widening. "Why are you so white, what's wrong??"
"What.. What are you doing to me?" she asks, her voice barely audible, a whisper. Seeing the puzzled look in his eyes she takes a breath and continues, knowing she should take his hand away from her face but cant move a finger. "Being near you…even seeing you makes me feel…dizzy, what's going on?"
"I…honestly don't know myself, how exactly do you…feel dizzy?" he answers, his heart knowing the answer but needing to hear it from her.
"When I'm around you its…I get so dizzy, I feel like I'm gonna fall…there's something else too. Something I don't…understand." again she tries to pull her gaze away looking anywhere but at him and feels something inside her start to break as her hand slowly comes up, shaking as it comes to rest on his cheek, just like his on her own face. Suddenly she finds that she has no control, even worse then before and can only stare at his eyes as she starts to move closer. On the other end Buzz is having similar feelings, though he know a bit of what he feels, looking down into her eyes he sees her starting to come closer, her hand on his cheek. Slowly, so as not to scare her he reaches behind her head weaving his fingers through her soft hair before letting them rest on the back of her head, following his heart as he bends her down towards him. Bringing his other hand down to take her own he suddenly comes back to himself, finding himself mere inches away from her, starting into her eyes, so close that he can feel her breath on his lips, her hand shaking but a resolute look in her eyes. They move closer together, they're lips almost touching as they're hearts already have, they get closer and closer, they close their eyes and then…the room is flooded with light, followed by a familiar, rasping voice.
"Well isn't this just touching," the voice replies breaking the spell over the two and making them look towards the voice, Jessie's hand unknowingly squeezing Buzz's, seeing Cliff not only in front of them, but also holding Woody in a headlock.
He only gives them a cruel smile, knowing what was about to happen and waiting for the right moment to interrupt, to make his appearance. Letting Woody go he pushes him hard, sending him careening to fall in front of the two, watching them kneel down to help him up. The light they can see is small but bright enough to light up their area, coming from a pocket sized flashlight, set on a pedestal of blocks. Behind the flashlight the ninja's wait, dressed all in black behind they're master.
"Now that I have all of you here I can begin, your friends cant help you and your now trapped, and I'm free to do as I please." He replies happily, letting his gaze fall on the scared cowgirl in front of him "And I will do what I please."
Frowning Buzz pulls Jessie behind him, standing in front of her
"You wont have her!" he replies, glaring at the calm cruel person in front of him. "Her or Woody, and we are getting out of here one way or another."
Cliff only laughs, making a flicking motion with his hands as the ninja's move, silent as night to try and surround them again. They tries to fight them off as best as they can, and it looks like Buzz may win but a cry of pain breaks through his concentration, faltering enough that the ninja's can grab him, securing him tightly. Snapping his head over in the direction of the scream he sees both of his companions, one the girl he..loves, held once again by the toys in black. As Cliff looks over at Jessie, he gets an idea, looking over to Buzz. Buzz does not like the smile on his face. Walking over to Jessie Cliff reaches up and takes her chin in his hand, forcing her to look at him. Jessie tries to break loose, to get away from him as she feels cold permeate every part of her body, opening her eyes wide. On the other side Buzz sees red as Cliff leans down and kisses Jessie, in his jealousy and desperation to get to her he starts to drag his captors forward, needing to get Cliff away from his girl. A couple of more ninja's join up, grabbing some piece of him and halts his progress, bring what might be a piece of razor blade up to his throat, just as motivation not to move. Pulling away from the shaking and shock ridden Jessie, he steps back, watching her carefully.
"Get away from her!" Buzz calls out, trying to move once again and feels the blade against his throat.
"Give me one reason why I should?" he replies, turning his cold blue gaze on Buzz.
Taking a deep breath Buzz looks to Jessie, his eyes conveying his message to her before he blurts out loud. "Because..You can't have her because I love her!"
Total silence. There's a shocked look on Jessie's face as she turns to him, looking into his eyes. Cliff on the other hand shows no emotion at all, save to smile sadistically, before replying in a psychotically happy voice.
"Not good enough!" he chirps out, obviously having fun with this whole situation. "She is still going to be mine, I might let you loose, although your rather fun to be around, your very amusing. Even if you do go, these two will stay, I have business with them. Starting now."
Stating that he finally makes his way over to Woody, ignoring the glare that the sheriff gives him and reaches out, wrapping one hand around his throat, his other hand motioning the ninja's to let go. Ignoring the other's cries he turns, forcing him against what should be a wall nearby the door as he slowly tightens his hold, cutting off Woody's air. The next action is almost too quick to see, kicking back Jessie slams into the toy holding her, as he lets go in pain knocking back a few of his companions. Finding herself free anyone who is watching can see a flash of anger go through her eyes as she rushes at Cliff. Realizing a bit too late his grip slips from Woody as his balance from the attack gets knocked out of whack. Before he can fall to the ground he pivots on his back foot, bringing his arm into Jessie's stomach. The force of the impact not only knocks the breath out of her for a moment, but the momentum forces her back, causing her to trip over something and stumble. Buzz can only watch helplessly as she trips back, knocking the light of as she stumbles over it, before disappearing into the darkness. A dull thud can be heard and then nothing, the flashlight rolling around for a moment before stopping. Seeing his chance as the arms have temporarily loosened up he also rushes Cliff, only this time he makes a fist and aims at his face, putting all of his weight behind it. With a resounding thud he manages to knock Cliff away, watching as she goes careening to the floor. Moving over to Woody to see if he's okay, that being the most important thing right now he catches a movement, a tall blur disappearing out what looks like a mouse hole in the wall. Swearing under his breath he helps Woody up, staring at the dark hole in the corner. Looking back at him, Woody gets an idea, he too saw what happens earlier and hides a smile.
"I'm going to find the way out of here, go see if Jessie is okay?" He suggests, looking to Buzz before walking off.
