Your POV

I open my eyes, facing the ceiling. I sit up, and I notice that my leg was chained as well. I sighed, as I realized I'm locked up here with Sasha.

Sasha: Hey...you slept okay?

I looked to my side, and see Sasha sitting against the wall in a fetal position, her eyes tired, and a blanket over her.

Y/N: Better than sleeping out there in the cold...granted, I never thought I'd spend another day behind bars, but here we are.

Sasha: Heh...wait, you've been arrested before?

Y/N: Eh, just once. It's when I put a guy on Life Support when he flashed Anne...I do not regret beating that piece of shit up.

Sasha: Oh right. That guy...hope he's by now.

Y/N: I broke 5 of that asshole's ribs, and quite literally stomped on his genitals, he won't be flashing that thing to anyone anymore if it's all messed up.

Sasha: Doing God's work, Y/N.

Y/N: Yes yes, of course. Anyway...

I stand up, and I grabbed the chains that was on my leg. I pulled as hard as I can, and eventually, it broke. I stood up, and stretched my body.

Sasha: Dude, you can break the chains just like that?! Break me out!

Y/N: Can't, I might break your only leg. I was able to break my chains, but I don't know if I can break yours without hurting you...

I walked over to the door, and I grabbed the lock, and pulled it as hard as I can, and the lock broke, opening the door, but not before looking back at Sasha.

Y/N: Stay here, I'll try and see if I can find a way out and the key for those chains.

I slowly walk towards the door, and I see two toad guards sleeping by said door. I then grabbed the two toads by the head, and pulled both of them inside the room, and I knocked both toads out.

I looked into the Hallway, and I see another toad standing by the stairs leading down to the lower floor. He turns around, and I immediately jump and grabbed onto the ceiling. The toad begins to walk towards the door that leads to the cells, and I immediately dropped down right behind it, and I kicked it to the side, sending it flying to the wall, knocking him out.

I look around, to see if anyone saw what I was doing. I sighed, and I proceed to make my way down to the lower levels. When I get there, I see the toads rough housing, fighting each other like brutes. Seeing how easy I'll be spotted, I decided to go back up the stairs, and try to assess the situation...and then I see a window.

Y/N: ...Not exactly light as a feather...

I let out a sigh, and I turned around...and I found myself looking at a toad..a female toad, her hair tied into a bun.

Y/N: ...Alert the others, and I'll throw you off the tower through this window...

Braddock: gulp

Y/N: Good toad...now tell me: Where the Hell is the key to my friend's chain?

Braddock: ...The Captain...

Y/N: Thank you kindly...run along now...and keep your mouth shut...or else I get mad.

The toad rapidly nodded her head, and she runs towards the other direction, and away from me.

Y/N: Wait a damn minute...where the Hell is that one eyed fuck anyway?

Sasha, in the distance: Get away from me, you disgusting freak!

Y/N: Sasha? Sasha!

Running back to the cell where Sasha was held, I immediately saw her held by the neck by none other than the same one eyed toad that I was looking for.

Captain Grime: Ah, I had known you'd come the moment she screamed.

Y/N: You touch her...and I will dance on your chest cavity.

Captain Grime: You keep saying that, but the moment I do this.

He pulls out his sword, and aimed it directly at Sasha's throat, Sasha, look at him with anger, while I do the same.

Captain Grime: I knew you will try to escape, I am no fool. But do you really think that you'd be able to escape at all, with her weighing you down?

I think for a moment after hearing those words...and he was right...I know nothing about the ins and outs of this tower...and how many toads there even are in it as well...as far as I know, I'm clearly outnumbered, but...Sasha...I know she's capable enough to fight on her own, but with this toads...I don't think she can do anything...if she did, she'll get hurt...and I can't have any of that.

And so, I look at Sasha, who was looking at me, and she shook her head "no". I looked at Grime, and I nodded. He smiles a terrifying smile, and he snaps his fingers, and suddenly, I was surrounded by toads once more...

Y/N: I submit...now let her go...

Captain Grime: A deal is a deal. But before that, do remove your clothing.

Y/N, annoyed: What?

Captain Grime: I know we'll enough that you can make a weapon out of your clothing, take them off.

I groaned, and I removed my shirt, my shoes, and then my pants, leaving me in nothing but my boxers...to Sasha's silent delight.

Y/N: I'm not taking anything else off, I would like to have some dignity left, mind you.

Grime laughs, and I was then escorted back to my cell, and was chained once more...but this time, they used bigger chains, and heavier ones as well. They chained my neck, my arms placed on my back, both my legs attached to chains as well, and a brace was also placed on my chest, attached to a chain.

I found myself on my knees, my breathing strained by just a bit thanks to the chains. I look over to Sasha, and I see her eyes...as if she was...sorry.

Captain Grime: That should keep you from leaving your cell. We don't know who or what you are, and who you fight for...you are a mystery, and I cannot allow that! Starting tomorrow, you will give us the answers that we want.

Sasha: You dumb toad! Do we LOOK like we fight for anyone? We just wanna find our friends, and go home!

Captain Grime: Lying will get you nowhere, creature. But enough, you will need all your energy when we squeeze the answers out of the two of you on the morrow.

Grime and the rest of his troops walk out of our cell, and they placed a new, stronger lock on the door. They closed the room, and bolted the door shut as well. I sighed, and I look at Sasha, who was looking down, as if she was in the wrong.

Sasha: I'm sorry Y/N...I'm just being a dead weight to you at this point...

Y/N: Hey...look at me.

She looks at me, and I noticed she was tearing up a bit.

Y/N: It's alright...I get it, you think you're slowing me down. But I know damn well you can fight and kickass yourself...you just need the motivation to do it.

Sasha: sniff Stop saying stuff to make me feel better, Y/N...

Y/N: I'm serious... You were surprised, startled by being hunted. If we'd been here for a day before hand, I know you'd have been right beside me, and we could escape. Don't beat yourself up Sasha.

She smiles, and she lightly laughs wiping the forming tears in her eyes.

Sasha: Thanks... we'll definitely get out of here...and we'll find the others.

Y/N, smiling: So, you really do care about them.

She scoffs playfully, and tells me:

Sasha: Duh. I'm a bitch, not a monster. They're my friends. I... I can't imagine life without Anne and Marcy...

Hearing those words...I think back to what I said to her last time...back at the bonfire. I scowled, and I let out a sigh, and I look at her again.

Y/N: I'm sorry...for what I said.

Sasha: Yeah, right.

Y/N: I mean it.

Sasha: Sure you do. Just like you meant what you said before, right?

Y/N: ...Point taken.

Sasha: ...Though, this view is a good step towards Forgiving you.~

Y/N: Heh, pervert.

Sasha: I prefer "Sexually Conscious".

Y/N: Whatever helps you feel better about ogling my body.

Sasha: Exactly~

We both laugh, and I look at her, and I smile...she smiles back... I feel...like there's a connection starting to form here...and...I kinda like it.
