I decided to bring in two people I hadn't really brought in yet. I'll give you a hint: One is a retarded criminal and the other one has an obnoxious voice that makes you want to punch her in the face. Good enough for you? I think so xD

Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Captured

~Friday~

It was Friday, which made me extremely happy. The sleep over that night! I was so excited. It was my first real sleep over and Axel was coming. It just made everything great. "Today is going to be a wonderful day." I said with a sigh and a smile as I got dressed for school. Usually going to school bothers me, but not today.

I walked outside and breathed in the fresh air. It was just wonderful to be alive, for once. Nothing could stop me from my good mood. It was also the first time that I wasn't moping around because of Axel. I even forgot that I kissed him that one day. It didn't even matter to me anymore. Actually, the next day after that happened, both Axel and I never mentioned it again. It was as if it never happened.

I walked down the empty morning street, towards the middle school. The birds were chirping and a light breeze ran through my hair. I was in such a good mood that I didn't even notice the vehicle pulling up next to me.

"Hey," A voice called. I turned and noticed a dark blue jeep with two men inside it. The one who spoke to me looked like he was in his mid twenties. He had pink hair and it looked as if I knew him from somewhere. I couldn't really place on where I had seen him before. The guy who was driving was actually a girl if you looked hard enough. She was blonde and, like the guy talking, she also looked like someone I had met before somewhere.

"Yeah?" I asked. It was kind of weird to have some total strangers talk to me, but I didn't really think too much of it.

"Do you know what time it is? Someone stole our radio out of the car and our cell phones died, so we have no clue."

"Uh..." I said while pulling my phone out of my pocket. The backround on my phone was a picture of me and Axel smiling. I took it about two weeks back when we hung out at the park. The pink haired man brought his head out the window to look at it. "It's 7:10." I said, closing my phone.

"Okay," The guy nodded his head, "Can we ask you something else?"

"Sure."

"Do you know where the nearest bank is?"

"Not exactly, but I know the direction of it."

"Would it be okay if you went with us to it. We'll drive you to school if you want."

"Uh...Sorry. I can't. I really do have to get to school. I'm running kind of late."

"Don't worry. We just need to get money out. That's all. You'll get to school in no time." He smiled as if he was trying to be friendly, but in reality, I was kind of getting creeped out.

"I'm sorry, but please ask someone else." I said before walking off. To my disappointment, they followed me.

"It'll be real quick. You can trust us. We're friends of Axel. Remember me?" I looked at him and that's when it hit me. Axel used to hang out with them as a kid. The guy was Marluxia and the girl was Larxene.

"Marluxia?" I questioned while walking closer to the vehicle.

He smiled and for some reason, it felt safe to go with them. I knew that they wouldn't hurt me because they were good friends of Axel. Anyone who was friends of Axel, was a friend of mine. I got into the backseat and it locked. I looked at the front to notice that they did have a radio. That wasn't what really scared me. What really scared me was the fact that they weren't asking for directions. Instead, they were speeding down the main road and onto the freeway. I tried desperately to open the door, only to notice it was child locked.

"Let me out, please." I said while trying to act calm, but I was sure they could hear the panic in my voice.

"Sorry, but that won't be happening, Roxas." Marluxia said while turning in his seat to look at me. His face looked the complete opposite of friendly, it looked dark and scary.

"What do you want from me?" I asked while trying to take deep breaths.

"Axel owes me money," He replied with a little laugh, "A lot of money. You'll just be our captive until he pays me back. And who knows, there might be another use for you." Larxene, after being so silent, let out a cackle that made my ears feel like they were bleeding.

"Yeah, I know what you're gonna do." She said in a shrill voice. "Oh, how I feel sorry for you, Roxy. You have no clue what's in store for you. If only you knew."

"W-What do you mean?" I shouted with tears welling up in my eyes.

"Larxene," Marluxia whined, "Don't scare the boy. He's already scared enough as it is."

"You're right." Larxene replied in her obnoxious voice. Her green eyes glimmered as she stared at me through the rearview mirror. "I'll be surprised if the boy doesn't piss his pants."

The tears that I threatened to hold back, started to flow out. I grabbed my phone to quickly text Axel of the situation but Marluxia snatched it away from me.

"No texting for you, young man." He said while shaking a finger at me in a teasing way. He opened my phone and stared down at the picture. "Aww! What a cute picture! Do you have any more? You guys are so cute together. Are you in love?"

"N-No!" I said while trying to hold back the sobs that wanted so desperately to escape my lips.

"Let's give him a jingle, shall we?" He said happily while hitting the number 2 on my speed dial (number 1 was my voice mail) and waited for a bit until someone answered.

~Axel's POV~

The first hour of the school day was always the one I hated the most. I always went through 6 cups of coffee in just that hour. Especially since I had a rough night the night before. It's not what you think, you sickos. I had to start on filling out the paper work last night. It takes forever! I didn't go to bed until 4 in the morning, but then had to wake up at 5, so I only got one hour of sleep! Demyx was so lazy. I didn't know why he couldn't fill out some of the papers while I was working the day before.

The class was almost completely empty today because there was some field trip or something. I only had 10 students and usually there was about 30, so that meant that more than half of the students were gone. I didn't even see the point in coming to school.

I let out a sigh and sat back in my seat while the students went through silent study period. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I knew that usually I wasn't really supposed to answer it, but it was dead in the classroom, so I knew they really wouldn't care.

I pulled out my phone and saw that Roxas was calling. It was kind of strange for him to be calling in the morning like that, considering he was supposed to be in school at this point.

"Hello?" I answered in a whisper.

"Hey, Axie! Are you busy?" I hadn't heard that voice or that nickname in forever.

"Marluxia?" I asked. I hadn't seen him since him and Larxene dropped out of school and got their GEDs. "Why do you have Roxas' phone?" I thought it was a little weird that Marluxia had gotten a hold of Roxas' phone.

"Remember when you borrowed my car and crashed it?" He asked as if it was no big deal. I did remember and it made my face pale just thinking about it. I was 15 and couldn't get my license because my mom thought I wasn't ready yet. I was so pissed off that I ran out and over to Marluxia's house. We went into his garage and he showed me this really nice and expensive car. To make me feel better, he let me take it out for a drive. I didn't know what I was doing and I was lucky enough not to go to jail. I trashed the thing. He said it was no big deal, but I could tell he was angry as hell.

"Y-Yeah...That was ages ago." I said, trying to act calm. Did they kidnap Roxas or something? "What about it?"

"Well, now that you're all grown up and have a job and everything, I think it's time to tell you that you owe me 50,000 dollars." My eyes grew wide and one of my students, Aqua walked up to me.

"What's wrong?" She asked out of concern.

"Hang on," I told Marluxia and pulled the phone away from my ear. "Aqua, can you watch the class? I have to take a very important phone call." She nodded her head and I walked out of the classroom and into the teacher bathrooms. I made sure it was empty before I continued.

"You're kidding, right?" I asked in hope that he really was just kidding.

"Serious as pie, my dear friend. Serious as pie." He said with a little laugh. "We even got Roxas here with us. We're all going for a joy ride. He's having so much fun." In the backround, I swore I heard Roxas crying.

"You better not hurt him." I threatened.

"Then you better pay up." He said in a more serious tone then before. "I need that money, Axel, by next year, or your little kitten is going to be murdered...With this new sythe I bought!" He giggled and hung up. I almost dropped my phone in shock. Roxas was going to be murdered...And I only had one year to come up with 50,000 dollars...? There was no way that was going to happen. I barely made enough money to support Demyx and me as it was. How was I going to come up with all of that...?

~Roxas' POV~

After I heard that Axel only had a year to come up with 50,000 dollars before I die, I already gave up hope. I wish I just continued on to school like normal. Then none of this would've happened. I would still have my sleep over and everything would be great. When Maluxia hung up, I started to sob loudly until he turned around in the seat and slapped me.

"Shut your mouth. I don't want to hear it." He said sternly before turning back around. I rubbed my cheek tried desperately to stop sobbing so I wouldn't get hit again. The side of my face stung and it only made more tears run down my face.

After a while, we pulled up to an abandoned looking house. Some windows were smashed and had dusty curtains that covered what was inside. Larxene got out and walked in the house. Maluxia got out as well but opened the back door and pulled me out as well. He held my hand as he dragged me up the old, rotten steps and into the musty smelling house.

"Welcome home, Roxy." Maluxia said happily while breathing in the stale air as if it was the best smelling house in the world. The house had only a dusty couch and coffee table. There were boxes all over the place and it just looked dull and scary. It looked like something out of a horror movie.

Pictures, that looked like they were from 60 years ago, hung on the walls. I didn't have any time to really look at them, though, because Marluxia dragged me down the hallway and towards a room at the end of the hall. My heart started to pound really fast and hard as we entered the room and he threw me down on this ancient bed. As I landed on it, dust actually flew up into the air, making me cough.

"What are you going to do to me?" I asked while trying not to choke on the foul smell. He grinned and ran a hand through his pink hair.

"You'll just have to wait and see." He giggled happily. "We are going to have a blast!"

I have no clue where I got this new idea from. It wasn't on the original plan. I guess I thought the plan needed a little more life to it. Anyway, please review and tell me what you think! :D
