I wasn't sure if I should put this one in since Roxas takes half of Sora's attention.
"What are we waiting for!" Sora flapped his large wings and flew out into the night sky with Roxas.
"Don't let them get away!" Xemnas screamed at the other doctors in the experimental building thus the doctors ran back inside to prepare themselves for the chase. Sora made sure to follow close by Roxas as Roxas grumbled and hugged himself.
"What is this white stuff? I hate it!" Sora didn't like it either and shut his eyes tight when the wind blew it in his face. Below them leafless trees with stretched out branches shook in the wind and Sora looked back from where they had just escaped. The wind was howling in his ears but Sora thought he heard something else besides the wind. It sounded like a roar and he continued to search for whatever it was but all he saw were swirls of snow; not that he knew the white stuff was called snow.
"Oh." he heard Roxas sigh and when he looked back at him Roxas was swaying a little.
"Roxas?" He moved close to his left side careful not to hit against Roxas's bronze wings and looked at him worried. Roxas rubbed at his eyes finding it suddenly hard to keep them open and hissed.
"That drug I was injected with is starting to kick in. We should find a place to hide." Sora looked at the leafless trees again and shook his head.
"There's nowhere to hide. What do we do?" Roxas thought about it then stopped flying and looked back. "What?"
"What's that thing?" Sora followed his gaze and saw a light and something fast moving fast on the ground. There was that roar again and Sora pulled on Roxas's arm scared.
"Come on! Let's go!" But Roxas's eyes were closing and his wings were slowing down so Sora hugged him around his waist and flew for the both of them.
Boom! Sora flew off to the side quickly and missed the net by a few inches. Roxas woke up startled and moved Sora's hands off him pointing up at the clouds.
"Above the clouds!"
"Wait!" Sora said trying to keep up and when he broke through the clouds a strong wind knocked him around so lost his sense of direction. "Roxas!"
"Sora!" He heard his name but the wind swallowed up the words not letting him pinpoint Roxas location.
"Rox-ah!" His wings felt heavy as something crystal like spread across them. Try as he might, flapping soon stopped and he fell down quickly like a stone through air. There was that light again as he approached earth and covered himself with his wings to cushion his fall before he fell in the path of the vehicle. The car stopped when the lights reached Sora and a young man came out and quickly wrapped his jacket around him. Sora was too tired to fight back as he lifted him off the snow and took him back to the car. The guy put him in the backseat lying him down and Sora pulled the jacket closer to himself. His wings had disappeared right after he had landed and he felt his whole body numb. He remembered last looking at the man stare back at him from the front seat and heard him talking to him but it was all a blur to Sora.
Riku took a sip from his mug the coffee hitting the pit of his stomach well. The smell of the coffee dominated the whole room and he turned the volume of the TV up with the control. He made himself comfortable in his seat and looked to the side at the half hidden window behind the long cream colored curtain. Wind blew snow against his window hard shaking it so it made a rattling noise.
"Its going to take me more than an hour to shove all that snow away from the door and driveway." He said frowning and looking back at the TV as the reporter started talking.
"It's that season again where you snuggle close to the fireplace and warm your hands and toes. It seems like that's what you'll want to be doing for the next few days anyway. A blizzard that started yesterday night at around ten thirty has spiraled into something tense and all local residents should try to stay indoors to avoid the harsh weather." The camera moved away from the reporter to the scene around her. Cars parked in the streets were completely white with snow and streetlights shook in the wind as they directed the few stubborn people who still chose to drive in those harsh conditions. It moved back to the reporter and the wind was whipping her long hair into her face. She moved some of it away just so it could come back. "This is Rachel Drew reporting for channel thirteen eye witness news." Click.
Riku threw his head back and gave big groan. "What a drag! What am I going to do for the next two days?"
"Eek!" He looked at the stairs going to the second floor and got off the sofa in a fast pace.
"Looks like he finally woke up." His sock covered feet made a low noise as he walked up the stairs then down the hall to the left where he stopped before the closed door and knocked softly. "May I come in?" He heard the bed creak and a hiss then decided to open the door. A black cat with white on her nose going down to her belly jumped on his blue jeans fast and clawed up till he leaned down to picked her up. Riku pet her softly and looked at the young man on his bed looking at the cat in his hands scared. "You're afraid of cats?" He didn't move his eyes away from the cat so he put her down and she left running out of the room.
"My name's Riku. I found you on the west side of town a two hours drive from here. Are you alright? I would have taken you to the hospital but the blizzard was so rough." Those blue eyes studied him then he tilted his head.
"Are you a doctor?"
Riku raised a brow and leaned back against the door with his arms crossed over his polo shirt. "Did you just come out of one? You're wearing green patient's shirt."
Sora moved the sheets off him looking at his clothes then looked at Riku that was still waiting for a response.
"I…." Would this person send him back to that horrible place? Could he trust him? "I don't remember." he said softly and looked away from Riku. What happened to Roxas? Did he make it or was he captured? Would the doctors come searching for him or where they already doing so?
Riku watched the sad look on the brunet's face then blinked his eyes when he said something.
"Huh?"
"Sora. That's my name. I didn't introduce myself."
"Well Sora," he moved off the door and walked over to his closet to search for clothes, "make yourself at home because you'll be here for a while."
"Why?" Riku pointed back to the window without stopping what he was doing and Sora moved off the bed to look.
"Unless you want to get stuck out there go ahead. You're welcome to stay here until it passes." Sora looked away from the window and looked back at Riku as he scratched at the back of his long silver haired head. "How about you chose what you want to wear?" He moved over to the side a little so Sora could come over and look for himself.
"All this is yours?" Sora asked as he moved some of the clothes aside on the rack looking through it.
"Like half of the clothes in here I've never even worn. See?" He showed Sora the price tag to one and explained while Sora picked out a yellow sleeved shirt. "Every time my friend Kairi goes out shopping she drags me along and buys me stuff even though I don't need it. She's a shopaholic but a good friend."
Sora listened to him talk with a small smile even though he didn't understand some things were like friend and shopaholic.
"Look at me rambling on. I'm going to leave you so you can change and when you're done come downstairs okay?"
"Okay." Riku left and closed the door behind him and Sora then took off his clothes and frowned at the wrist band on his arm. It wasn't so tight so he pulled it off and opened the window then threw it out. Sora quickly shut the window but not fast enough that the cold air slipped inside and replaced the warm air. After changing he watched the snow burry the wrist band that had shocked him his whole life till there was no trace of it.
He had just gained his freedom and he wasn't about to give it up. Never again would he be held a prisoner in that lab again. Ever.
