The Apprentice

Breaking Loose

Amber

Growl...Snarl...Whine...Roar... Hiss...Shriek 

I am biting at my cell bars...trying my best to let my new fangs work... But they just won't... I'm a dead Heartless... My antenna droop...I'm crying now... Why...

Why did THEY do this...

I bury my head in my hands... trying to tough it out...but it's cold...so very cold... The near winter wind is blowing in on me...I think I just saw a snowflake... Crap...it's snowing... I can't survive here in just a bra and slacks... Wait...she's coming..I curl my wings around my body...bracing myself

"It's time you Heartless fiend to meet your maker..." 

I cower at their sight...they still have that same look... All I can think about now is Ansem... he'll save me...right? 

Ansem

I am flying aimlessly for who knows how long... Trying to pick up the slightest trace of Amber... I hear a cry of psychotic laughter 

Gotta be her... the fiend who has Amber

I dart in that direction to see an....an old abandoned prison... it's all dingy. Amber can't be ok in there... It's snowing... I land next to a window...I then hear a loud shriek of pain and then a wheeze...Amber...

I grab the bars with my now..clawed hands...trying to muster the strength to tear it open... I finally manage...after 20 minutes...All the while...I hear Amber's cries.

I made my way to a long corridor...a figure is lying on the floor...Oh no...Amber.. She's as cold as ice...bruised...stripped down to almost nothing...and looking different..wings..large...paws? She's about as pale as a ghost... Barely breathing 

Come on...hang in there....

I shake her...and I get but a wince... I have to get her warm... I fly as quickly as I can to somewhere warm... A little log cabin...cute...but it will suffice for now. I wrap her in blankets... She starts to stir...coughing. A sign of vitality...thank goodness... 

She opened her eyes an hour later... I couldn't resist...I clung to her...taking in the smell of her perfume...

Amber

I woke up to Ansem above me looking joyous... He grabbed me...holding me close... I nuzzled into him...purring as he stroked my antenna... He then closed the gap between us

It felt...like heaven after hell...

I swear I've never been kissed like that before...not as deep or as passionate.. He looked a bit different...his suit top gone...hands black and clawed...but I didn't care...he was my hero... and that's all that mattered.

A/N We gots a fight with Gretchen Grimlocke coming soon!
