We smashed into the ground with enough force to match a herd of elephants. My head smacked against the metal bars and Nessa immediately landed hard on her butt, her legs unable to hold up against the force of gravity. I pressed my fingers to my head and swore under my breath.
"You okay?" She called as I heard her standing up.
"WELL! What do we have here?" A deep, slightly edgy voice said from behind us. I jerked my head around, making my vision go black. Once it was back I saw the one green door had been flung open and a huge bagman was standing in the open doorway. "OHH! Some tasty looking snacks!" He laughed menacingly.
"Ew," I complained, dropping down next to Wanessa, "What is that?"
"I have no clue," she answered.
"Ohh I'm hungry!" It came racing towards us. I put my hand forward, ready to call on my staff. Nessa was in the same position.
"HALT!" A girl called from inside. The bagman stopped at the entrance of our metal death trap. Our eyes flew up to the door. Rachel stood there, her clothes from the Coliseum were ripped up and old, her skin was grimy and pale. On her hands were ripped shreds of a white gauze wrap. Her hair was matted and ripped in some places.
"I don't think she's wearing a costume," Wanessa whispered. I shook my head.
"Oogy," She said, walking down the stone steps slowly, "You really shouldn't eat people. It's disgusting. Meat too for that matter." I almost laughed. I heard a small giggle escape Nessa's mouth.
"RACHEL!" I yelled, stepping forward. She looked at me for a moment and then suddenly recognition hit her eyes.
"MEGGAN! NESSA!" She ran towards us and wrapped her arms around us.
"WHAT? More of Maleficent's lackeys?" Oogy asked. I turned around.
"No," Rachel muttered, looking at her feet, she still only had socks. "I'm the only one." She turned back to us, "But listen. Maleficent's offered me a power to get us home!" She said excitedly.
"Rachel," Nessa muttered, taking her hand, "We are looking with a boy name Sora and men of the King. He knows another way to get us home. One that doesn't involve…uh."
"Involve what?" She looked at us curiously.
"What are you doing little girl? I can hear the brat with the keyblade runnin' about upstairs," Oogy interrupted.
"Be quiet!" She snapped, "Involve what?" her smile had faded.
"Darkness," I said sharply. Her dark brown eyes flew to mine. She removed her hand from Nessa's hand.
"Oh I see," She took a step back.
"Rachel wait!" I stepped after her but she was walking out of the cage.
"No, I understand," She said, only loud enough for us to hear, "You're jealous that she offered me the power and not you!"
"That's not it at all!" Nessa yelled. She stood in the doorway, Oogy was already back inside.
"Get out of here. I can control Oogy, but he can't control his heartless." With that she disappeared into the room and the door slammed shut behind her. I was so frustrated that a fireball swirled over my head and smashed into the door, doing absolutely no damage.
"Let's go."
"Where?" I asked.
"Head Honchos. We have got to get Rachel away from them!"
