Chapter 3: Torture

"What!" yelled Sora. "We are so not brothers! I don't look like you, do I?"

"You used to look a lot like me," answered Axel. "In fact, you were once a member of the Organization. I was the older brother and you were the younger one. But I wasn't respected as much as you were. I tried and tried to be more noticeable than you, and look at me now. Can you believe that I used to be a foot shorter, had straight brown hair, and had brown eyes with no tattoos under them? I didn't even want the tattoos anyway. I just wanted to change the color of my eyes. Apparently, the spell went wrong and the color came out of my eyes and I was blinded for about half a year. The pain of it was unforgettable. When I broke the spell and got my vision back I saw that the "dye" that came out of my eyes had settled on my cheeks and turned into these tear-like tattoos. And, also, since the dye had left my eyes they turned this neon green. But after all that trouble, people still didn't notice me at all. I finally decided on one thing."

"What master? Ahhhhhhhhh! I mean Axel!" asked Sora.

"It's quite simple, actually. I had to kill because you were in my way. I figured since every one of us 'nobodies' had already died once, I could kill you again. Talk about brotherly love."

"But didn't you love me?" asked Sora.

"HELL NO! You made me furious! You had driven me crazy and made me do stuff that put me through so pain and agony! So figured since I was a better fighter than you, I could kill you easily. And I did. I just can't figure out how you're alive today. You must've rebuilt your body over the last 2,500 years. But that doesn't matter now."

"Why?" asked Sora.

"Because," answered Axel. "You will be my dark zombie slave soon, so you won't be able to stop me. You will be unable to think for yourself and will only be able to obey my every command."

"How do you know it's me and not some other guy?"

"I couldn't forget my brother's face even if I wanted to; which I really, really, REALLY want to forget. Plus I recognize your voice and self-dignity. Now hurry up and let the poison devour you, or I will have to start torturing you."

"I will never let the poison soak in!" exclaimed Sora.

"Fine," said Axel. "It's your funeral. Seriously. It is."

A series of thick ropes bound Sora to the ground. Axel jumped up into the air and floated there.

"Prepare to meet your doom! I shall finally have my revenge! This is your last chance before I obliterate your mind. Will you give in or not?"

"Never," he said stubbornly.

"Excellent," said Axel. "I love torturing people this way! Bye bye." (A/N: I know bye bye is not something an evil person would say, but it sounds funny. Tee hee!)

The sky grew dark and the ground shook like an earthquake. Axel held his weapons at his side, while he absorbed the darkness around him. His eyes glowed brighter and brighter green with the more darkness he took in. He was grinning very evilly and laughing even more evilly (and loudly). In fact, he looked extremely overjoyed.

"This is the end," he said darkly.

He jumped forward and shrunk into Sora's head. (A/N: Yes I know. WEIRD.)

"Hello Sora," said Axel in his head. "You won't get me out of your head no matter how hard you try."

Sora felt an ultra sharp pain in his head. It kept getting worse and worse and even worse. He tried thinking about happy things, but he couldn't. No matter how hard he tried, there was nothing that popped into his head that was happy. By now he was screaming his lungs out (and crying at the same time). The more screamed, the more pain he felt. Along with the pain, he started seeing some disturbing and frightening images. Blood started trickling out of his ears, nose, mouth, eyes, fingernails, and toenails. (About every place imaginable, actually. Oh wait! I take that back!)

"You can never escape me!" yelled Axel. "No one can!"

A loud ringing started in Sora's head. He started screaming even more. He could also hear Axel laughing maniacally. Sora pulled hard against his ropes so hard that the skin around them broke open and got red all over. The ropes binding his legs and arms started soaking up all of the blood pouring out of his wrists and ankles.

"Warmed up yet? I'm not. I'm just getting started!"

Sora's brain felt like it was on fire. (Which it probably was. You know, Axel is a fire dude.) The flame started going down to his cheeks and down to his neck. It spread throughout his body. His body was now shining with sweat.

"Wanna give in now?" asked Axel.

"I…told…you. (Starts hacking up blood.) I'll…ne…ver…give in!"

"You sure have a strong spirit. All the more reason to break it!"

Sora felt a huge pain that kept running down his spine. It felt as if a knife was stabbing him there over and over again. He could feel his ribs pulling apart from each other. They spread out so far that they stuck out of his body. (A/N: Yes, I know. He would normally be dead by now. Tee hee!) Blood was everywhere by now. Sora was clutching the ground tensely and was screaming more and more intensely.

"This is so f-----g fun!" exclaimed Axel evilly. "It'll be even more fun when you're my dark zombie slave!"

Sora felt a powerful jolt in his heart and suddenly he could only see darkness in front of him.

"See you on the other side."

He saw a flash of Axel's eyes and then blacked out. Right before he blacked out completely, he could hear a deep and evil laugh echoing in his mind.

Yeah. Pretty short chapter. I know. Also very weird. I'm sure you think so too.

Now to a totally random topic that I need people's input on. Should I make Axel a vampire or a werewolf? It's for way later parts. Like Part 8, I think. When you review you can tell me what you think. The one that people like the most is the one I'm gonna use.

By the way, just to give you people an idea of what he would look like for each. If he was a werewolf, he would look like Ifrit in his werewolf form. If you don't know what Ifrit looks like then I'm going to cry. Anyways. If Axel was a vampire he would have dark wings (I don't know why. I think it would just look cool.) and would be paler and, like, gothic. But he'd only have black stuff around his eyes. So vote now!

P.S.-Review and vote!

P.P.S.-Voting will only go up to the 6th chapter in this part. Then I'll give you the results.

Toodles!
