Point of View: Kairi

Escape. The only thing that was important and the only thing on my mind. I had to get out of here, if not; my heart might be ripped out once more. And this time, there was no one able to save me.

My stare was at the guard, or Heartless I should say. He just seemed so human I would have never accepted that he was one of them.

His oval face slumped down to his chest as he slept peacefully in a chair, with his feet on a table. I couldn't tell what his hair color was, for it was covered up by a hood; but there were things I could find out. He was extremely pale, which was no surprise but any sort. And had what appeared to be multi-colored eyes. In some angles it seemed he had golden eyes while in others it seemed as though he had green ones.

My thoughts were interrupted as I started to hear yelling and footsteps. I turned my gaze to all the commotion and hope had entered my heart once more.

"You damn bastards! You won't get away with this!" A man not a day older then seventeen yelled behind him, as a Heartless held his hands together behind his back. He was at least six feet, and wore a trench coat and a cowboy's hat.

"Shut up," It hissed. "You should be glad you ungrateful mortal." And with that, the Heartless threw the man into the same cell as mine; since there were no other cells available.

I began to study the man's handsome features as the Heartless began to walk down the hallway. The man had long, silky brown hair; tied neatly into a low ponytail. He had a tan complexion much like Sora's, and very muscular figure. Even though he was about five inches taller then me, I had to admit, he was very handsome.

After glaring at the Heartless retreating form, his attention then switched to me.

"Oh hello there, I guess I didn't see you." He said with a small smirk upon his lips. He shifted uncomfortably as he noticed the chains around my neck and other body parts.

I went to say something, like greet him, but I was lost in his sapphire eyes. They seemed so possessive, but had a small humor outlining them. It seemed very refreshing.

I opened my mouth and closed it many times to speak, but nothing would come out. After what seemed as though words would never escape my mouth ever again; I finally spoke.

"H-hello." I said softly while giving him a nervous, but warm smile.

"Here let me help you with these chains." He said grimly as he kneeled down next to the chains around my feet and pulled out a set of transparent keys.

I gave him a puzzling look, for I had tried everything imaginable. Kicking, tugging, wiggling; but they all included in one thing. Pain.

After a few moments of trinkling around with the keys and chains, the straps that were holding my body up, were gone. I began to rub my sore wrists and neck but I didn't feel happier for them to be off. The cold breeze, which was like nothing, but I guess beggars can't be choosers, began to kiss upon my skin.

"How'd you get the keys?" I asked him, feeling a slight sense of nausea.

"Those Unknowns aren't that smart!" he joked with a smirk.

"Thanks."

"No problem." He said returning my warm smile.

We then looked around the small cell for something to sit on, but there was nothing. So we had to sit on the ground. The man sat on the ground first and yawned as he stretched out his arms. I proceeded on sitting down with him, but as my hands touched the ground I realized that it was very wet. Noticing that I had made a face to the ground and was deciding on whether or not I should sit down or not, he chuckled.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you." He said playfully.

After his comment I sat down and was thankful that it wasn't very bright in here. It would be quite embarrassing if he saw how red my face became.

"So..." My voice trailed off.

"So..." He responded quickly; as though he was waiting for me to make a comment.

"Who are you, and what brought you here?" I asked softly, knowing that there was going to be a long story for his answer.

"Kinneas."

The man sighed and began to tell his story. I find out that his name is Irvine and that he was trying to stop whatever the Heartless were planning. His home in a place called Galbadia Garden, had been destroyed by the Heartless months ago and since then, he had been searching for his friends, Leon and Rinoa ;( 'Wait, Leon?'I asked, suddenly excited. 'Yup. We were split when the heartless attacked us.') while looking for the lair of the Heartless.

"So how did you get here?" I asked impatiently. I asked him how he got here, not his life story.

A little taken back from my rudeness, which I didn't mean as bad as it came out, he smirked.

"I broke in and got caught."

I laughed slightly as he continued on. "So what is your name little missy?"

"Kairi." But before I could even finish saying my name his muscles began to tense as his voice turned from calm-cool-and-collected to obsessed-fan.

"You mean Princess Kairi?!" I nodded slightly as I arched an eyebrow at the man. "I've heard so much about you and the other princesses, and what their names, Sora and Riku, right?"

At the mention of their names, I averted my gaze to the endless dark floor and my face saddened. Noticing my sudden change of personality, he tried to lighten up the mood.

"Bringing up old wounds, eh?"

"Yeah but it's okay. You didn't know." I replied as I looked back into his blue eyes.

Without even realizing it, I began to tell him my story. I told him the very beginning of my story, meeting Riku and Sora. I told him my hopes, dreams of my childhood and then my plans. I had his full attention, which made it easy for him to talk to. He nodded constantly and his gaze didn't change from me, as me to him. I then told him what the man had told me; about the other Princesses and such.

"We need to get out here." Irvine interrupted grimly.

"My plan exactly." I agreed.

And so we made our plan on our escape quietly as possible...
