 Demyx also looked up, ears perked, as the crashing sound came from the forest. However, his first thought was hoping it wasn't some horrible monster coming to attack them.
Larxene seemed to think it was Sora though, and when she tore off into the woods Demyx quickly followed.
"Sora? Come on out....please? I'm sorry I yelled at you!"

Sora was now curled up under the one of the trees, shivering, with his tail curled around him providing him much needed warmth. "St-stupid ice...has to be so c-cold." He had priot attemtped to bite into the apple, finding that it was nearly as hard as a rock due to the ice's cold temperature, making it nearly unedible. "Maybe t-this wasn't a good idea..." He shook his head. "No...no this is f-for the best. I have to s-stay here." He curled up, trying not to think about what had just happened. "I'll be safe in here and n-no one will have to d-deal with these stupid keys again." He started to nod off slowly. The temperature was dropping by the second inside Sora's selfmade 'ice prison'.

 Larxene continued using all her speed to hurry through the woods, trying to stay keyed into the direction the crashing had come from. In the short time she'd known him, she'd quickly come to realize crashing and Sora went hand in hand. Moments later, she skidded to a stop, mouth hanging open slightly.
"What the spoo is that?" she mused, looking at the ice chamber and blinking slowly. "Demyx? Over this way!" she called so the sitarist could find her. "I found ... well ... something?"

Despite his vast experience with running, Demyx simply couldn't keep up with Larxene. Thankfully she called out so he could at least know where she went, and a few moments after she had found the chamber Demyx skidded to a hald beside her.
Panting, the blonde male stared up at the ice chamber, head tilted slightly.
"It's....ice? But....ice shouldn't be in a forest...."
For a moment there was a fleeting memory of someone who could make ice anywhere, but it was gone as quickly as it had come.
"Why do you think it's here?..."
Demyx blinked at Larxene before reaching out one trembling paw to poke at the chamber.

Ears drooped, body shivering, tail curled around himself, and head bobbing as he tried his best to stay awake in the cold temperature, Sora was anything but happy. The cold just seemed to amplify is feelings of sadness. After many attempts Sora just couldn't get the past events out of his head. "T-they wanted the information...they g-got it. N-now they won't come back. R-Riku dissapeared...then Kairi...I looked for them...I looked for everyone. They're just...gone."
An idea sparked in Sora's mind as the cold continued to sweep over him. "Fire!" He shouted, and as he did a little fire ball appeared in his hand. Success! ...or failure. The fire kept him warm, however it light up the ice enclosure like a lightbulb, exposing the shadows of everything inside of it. "S-small price to pay." He muttered as the inviting warmth in his hand started to lull him into a sense of security.

Larxene frowned as Demyx went to poke at the structure. He was right; ice shouldn't be in the forest. Someone obviously put it here for a reason..
"Have you seen anything like this inside? Or is there any one of the rest of us, of the ... Organization people, who works with ice- wait, what's that?" She stepped forward as the ice cocoon flickered and started to glow from within. It took her a moment to recognize the silhouette but when she did, she gasped. "Sora!"
Larxene stepped right up to the cage and started banging on the side with her paws. "SORA!"

"I haven't seen anything like this...or anyone who can work with ice..."
Demyx tilted his head, poking at it a bit more. The second it lit up he skittered back however, startled by the sudden light. He studied the shadows a moment, struggling to realize what was inside. Larxene recognized the silhouette first, and when she did, Demyx did as well.
"Huh...wait...Sora?!"
The sitarist watched Larxene bang on the structure a moment with her paws before joining in.
"Sora! Cmon out!!"

Cold, and now the fire he started was burning up oxygen. Great. Sora coughed loudly, feeling weaker by the second. He only then noticed that there was a thumping sound on the ice structure. "Huh?" His ears swirved around weakly. The fire went out, his concentration was gone.
Picking himself up with his remaining stamina he trudged over to where the pounding sounds were coming from and pounded back as hard as he could before collapsing on the ground. He couldn't say what he wanted to, he wanted them to just go away, they would eventually dissapear like everyone else anyway.

Larxene continued pounding on the side for a moment, not making much of an impact on the ice wall. Looking worried, she turned to Demyx. "Can you ... I mean you can do stuff with water. Can you do anything to ice? We can't leave him in there!"
She knew a blast of lightning would probably crack the structure, but she was likewise afraid of what that blast might do to Sora himself.

Now...wait...why hadn't he thought about that? Oh yes, that's right, he had simply forgotten that ice was frozen water. He was a bit absentminded at times...
"I...might be able to, I've never really tried anything with ice before...."
Demyx concentrated, forcing his powers to manipulate the molecules of water frozen in the ice. The manipulation caused the molecules to slowly heat up, and soon enough a large crack in the structure had formed.

Sora was curled into a ball, almost asleep. His breathing was slowing down, his heart rate was dropping. The loud crackling sound roused him a bit, his ears lifted a bit as it echoed through the structure. He curled up tighter into himself, groaning, and panting for freash air.

Taking advantage of the fact there was already a weakness in the structure, Larxene risked summoning a little jolt of electricity to try to dislodge another chunk of the ice. "Come on..."

Between the two of them, a large hole in the structure was quickly formed. Good thing too, because Demyx simply wasn't used to concentrating on things like this. As soon as he could see Sora inside Demyx stopped, panting a bit but otherwise fine.
"Sora?! You alright??"

Sora was clinging to himself so tight to keep warm he was leaving marks. When he heard Demyx's voice he just clung to himself more. "F-fine...you...should have come." His eyes were closed, he was basically talking in his sleep at this point.

Larxene hurried forward as soon as the hole was formed. "Sora!" She glanced at Demyx, taking hold of Sora's shoulders. "We should move him out into the sun. Grab his feet!" Turning her attention back to the nearly-frozen male she rubbed his shoulders. "What were you thinking about?" she murmured, preparing to help carry him when Demyx was ready.
