Floor 0 - a SAO Fanfic

Chapter 9 - Abduction

"Will you marry-" before Akira could finish a man dressed all in black dropped down from the roof and grabbed Kyria. Then he jumped back up on the roof and away. A piece of paper fell from him as he jumped away.

Akira ran around the side of the house, his foot slipping on a rock. He rounded the corner of the house and saw the man with Kyria hopping onto a horse at the end of the street, riding off. He hurdled the fence and ran after the man but the horse was much faster than he was. He leaned down on his knees breathing heavily. Then the reality of what had just happened settled in. Kyria had been kidnapped, and he couldn't do anything to help her. Then he remembered the slip of paper and ran back to the house. He ran up the steps into the porch to pick up the paper. He unfolded it and read what it said.

"I have taken your precious princess. You should probably find her before I do what you did to me" it was signed Kou at the bottom with a little picture of a smiley face with a ponytail.

Akira ripped the paper to shreds.

"Probably find me? With a picture? Does he think this is some kind of joke? He's gone mad." Akira walked into the house and started his looking for ways of finding Kyria, the first step, call his best friend Allen.

Kyria opened her eyes. she felt groggy and her head felt like a thousand wasps were stabbing her over and over again from the inside. She tried to sit up but found her self restrained. She pulled at her restraints but found them to be tight and strong. Above her head she saw a stone ceiling. The lighting in the room was flickering which meant the room was lit by fire. She turned her head to the side and saw she was in a stone cell with a metal door being the only way in or out.

Suddenly the door opened and Kou walked in. He was dressed in his tight pants and v-neck shirt but this time he had armor over it and a cloak on.

"Hello Kyria"he said but she just glared at him.

"I hate to do this to you but you see it's necessary for me to do this because Akira did something to me a few years ago and I can't let him get away with being happy while I have to suffer."

"So if you can't be happy no one can?" Kyria asked disgusted.

"Yes! I'm so happy you understand."

Kou then pulled out a knife from inside his cloak, Kyria's eyes widened.

"We're not in a town so this might not feel to great." He said stepping closer. Kyria squirmed. He lowered the knife down to her cheek, and Kyria froze, scared to move. He rubbed the flat part of the blade down her face.

"Such a pretty girl, you remind me of Lily." He said, pain evident in his eyes. Then he turned the blade and cut a long gash down her cheek. Kyria gasped. Tears welling up in her eyes. Even though she was in the game it still hurt to be cut.

"Now to send Akira a picture of his precious princess maybe that will hurry his search for you." Kou said cackling slightly. He took the picture and messaged Akira.

"I'll be back to play with you more, princess." And with that he left the room, the clang of the metal door closing reverberated around the room.
