Author's Note:
Okay this chapter just might be a tad confusing; the first point of view is Sora. And it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out who the next one is. So whenever it refers to "he" in the second point of view, it's not Sora. It's the other one that you have to figure out -

Chapter Five::
So Far From Home

.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x:.

He was isolated, in a small room with barely any light; the most he could see was the stone floor, gray, cold, and hard. More than anything he wished he was back on Destiny Islands, where the sand was always soft, warm, and the sky was always full of color. It was paradise, it was home, it was where Kairi was, or so he thought.

But instead, he was stranded in that cold little place where you could possibly call a room; he thought it was almost like prison. He lifted his head but even that took most of his energy that he didn't have, nor would have for quite some time.

His wrists and ankles bound by chains, which led right into that cold stone floor.

It was so not the paradise he would have wished for.

Still, he also thought about the one who placed him here, and remembered what he saw, a head of silver, before he was pushed away into this cell. He didn't remember even being placed here, and it was too dark to tell if there was even a door, or some sort of escape.

All he knew was when he awoke, which could have been days, hours, he didn't know. Though he did have many scrapes and bruises on his arms and legs, so it was obvious that he was just thrown in here without consent of what was going on.

Sora had no idea what he was supposed to do, he was boiling of emotions, and he couldn't even get enough power to get his keyblade, which was in the corner across from him, the small flicker of light coming from a lantern made it shine as if it were the only thing in this room still full of life.

But it was an inanimate object after all, and everything that meant to Sora seemed to be sucked away somehow, it was as if nothing mattered. After all, he was alone, stranded, in a place so far away. But someone was watching, someone who he had known for such a long time.

Yet he didn't know or realize it, Sora thought he was alone on the whole deal, but he was never alone. And he knew it too; Kairi was always with him, and so was someone else, not connected through hearts or mind. Someone was there though, Sora couldn't feel anyone's presence, but only his pain, that seemed to strike him right in the heart...

.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x.:x:.

"Look at him..." Another boy, or should we say man, since he was eighteen, mumbled to him self. He had been watching Sora the entire time; there was a reason for his capture. To see if he really had the power to free himself, but from watching for the past three hours, he had done nothing, said nothing and most defiantly didn't try to do anything.

Maybe it was the fact that other hooded ones had taken him a bit harshly, but Sora would soon recover, but still, he couldn't reveal who he was just yet. It had been three years since he had last spoke to him directly.

"Take care of her..."

Ever since that dreadful moment where he had locked himself behind that door with the heartless, knowing that it was a sacrifice to do just that. But the trio all got separated into three different spots anyway, and where he was, wasn't anything he would have imagined when he decided to go off onto other worlds.

But he never considered himself one of the heartless either, because he still had emotion; he just refused to show it, giving off the effect that he didn't have a heart to take. Still, deep down he had a longing, to go back to the Island, even though he would just be stranded there, on the different islands that made up his home.

Then again he had his friends too, if he could still consider them friends, he knew that when Sora and Kairi were reunited some things were bound to be different. Yet he also liked being far from home, where in this place, whatever he said or done mattered, and whatever he ordered got done.

Well almost everything got done; he still wanted to see Sora show his true power, that he knew he had. All the boy needed was something to believe in, which was a mistake to put him in such a dark place. Sooner or later he'd come around, and realize that he can do something.

Sora was not the only one trying to escape the darkness; sometimes he wondered what it would be like if he saw the light again, the boy's aqua eyes stared at the illusion in front of him, it was still Sora, sitting there, drowning in his thoughts. Still doing nothing, the boy sighed and turned around, no one was in the room with him, which he liked.

The room he was in was luxury compared to the place Sora was in, with wood floors, walls painted blood red, and the furniture also in dark wood. The torches in the corners of the room gave off just enough light to show that there were other items.

Yet he stood there, eyes cold as they glistened in the torches' fire, he wondered how Sora had gotten here. Of course that was to remain a mystery until he figured out what kinds of power Sora held in those three years. Maybe it would explain why he held the keyblade, and why fate led him to this place...
