Fractured Twilight {KH Fanfic/Boy Of Choice}

Chapter II

Ember collapsed onto a cold metal flooring roughly as she tumbled to her side. With a yelp she rolled to the side as her blade had followed her through the darkness, stabbing the ground she was just laying in. With a displeased grumble she plucked her weapon from the ground and retracted it, shoving it back into her shoe as she took a look at her surroundings. That pedo was right; he indeed locked her away. Before her were metal bars on one wall of the cage she presided in, showing off what seemed like a pathway for people to walk on beyond her containment. She noticed the room swaying slightly, causing her to widened her stance before she lost her balance. With careful steps she made her way to the bars, taking a peek through as they were widely spread apart. However the cage was dangling in mid air and despite the large gap she was still stuck. She noticed several other cages the same way, dangling by a single chain.

With a huff Ember let her anger get the best of her as she suddenly punched the bars. She was extremely indignant of her situation. Elrena abandoned her for power, she was kidnapped, and Ember could only assume later she would be tortured to join that mysterious dude. With a yell she punched the bars again, her hand shaking and throbbing immediately after.

"Um hello?"

A sudden male voice brought Ember's attention. She poked her head outside of the bars once again, but to no avail did she see who was speaking.

"Hello? Someone there?" She asked.

"If someone wasn't here they wouldn't be talking."

Ember paused with annoyance. Too many people had a sour attitude today. "Listen dude I was just kidnapped I have no idea where I am. Can you just explain to me what's going on?"

He paused himself as silence lingered in the air for a moment. "I heard you throwing a fit. You didn't touch the bars did you?"

Ember couldn't help but click her tongue. "You completely ignored my questions. But yes I punched the bars because I'm pissed."

"How'd that zap feel? You were surprisingly quiet."

"Zap? What are you even talking about? I just punched the bars out of frustration. My hand just hurts now."

Another pause.

"So you didn't get... Shocked? Do you wield magic?"

Ember clenched the bars. This dude had so many questions and no answers for her. She felt like the conversation was going in circles.

"Dude no. I don't have magic. I'm some pathetic piece of shit who trained with a sword at a young age who was just kidnapped by some dude and thrown into this cage."

"Okay great you can get out. Slip through the bars and jump to the ledge. You can escape."

Ember scrunched her nose in disbelief. "Is it really that easy?"

"For you, yes. The bars repel magic users and if you aren't one then you can easily do what I told you. There's no time for details, so hurry the fuck up."

Ember sighed heavily. He was blunt and kind of a jerk but he was right. Her captors could stop by at any moment, she had to make a decision and fast before they arrived. After all, she had to track down Elrena and maybe together they can escape.

With a deep breath Ember squeezed through the bars, leaving a foot someplace secure while a hand gripped a bar tightly. She leaned forward and felt the cage itself tilt with her weight, causing her heart to pound in her chest. The jump was a broad one, but certainly something she could handle... She hoped. After attempting to measure the distance inside her head as she knew she couldn't get a running start, Ember leaped from her position with her focus on the platform.
