Lost

Escape room

I'd love to hear anyone's theories about whats going to happen.

The sound of chains clinking together woke them up. Frost opened their eyes, everything around them was hot and blurry. Groaning they sat up from the hard floor they were on. They gulped at the feeling of swaying back and forth. They rubbed their eyes, until they could see. 

They were in a small swinging cage, the ground was hard and they were surrounded by iron bars. They thanked the god they didn't have claustrophobia. Looking around, it looked like a dungeon they had been throw in. It felt like a million degrees. They gripped the sides of the cage and steady themselves to see what was under them. It was a pit of lava.

They glanced to see their arm completely healed, touching their head it felt the same. They had died, Frost remembered now. The red floating boy had killed them, did he bring them here to hurt them. Get them to tell about some kind of plans they didn't know? To be ransom to some family they couldn't remember?

Frost tried to pry open the bars, it was no use they weren't strong enough. Even if they could they would just fall into lava. They served the surrounding area. It was black and red, there were multiple cages around them, with chains in between. Seemed like a dangerous jungle of steel. 

Sighing they sat down. Frost would wait until someone came, its not like they could do anything anyways. 

They sat staring at lava for an hour until they heard a boyish voice. The male was floating upside down in front of the teens cage. He had a wide smile on his face, it never seemed to leave.

"Hey there Frost! Glad to see your awake!" The way he said it didn't seem to have a double meaning. Frost thought he could just hide it well.

"Why am I here?" They couldn't hide the annoyance. His smile didn't waver. 

"I brought you into an escape room! Created by yours truly, its to remind you of me!" His voice wavered a little saying remind you, they assumed he was a little hurt they didn't remember him. 

"you kidnapped me from my friends? Why would i listen to a single thing you'd say." He paused, he didn't expect them to not agree. He snapped his fingers smiling with his teeth. 

"Every time you solve something, you get to ask me a question! I'll ask you questions as well." Frost stared at the lava thinking. The boy didn't seem to have much of an ill intent. They couldn't trust him, but they couldn't just leave on their own. Plus they could learn about their past.

"Sure, I'll get out of your stupid escape room." He clapped his hands together happily. He floated over and pulled a lever, the front of Frosts cage moved downwards. They looked at it in confusion. He laughed before pulling something out.

"This is a fire residence potion. If you fall in the lava you won't die! It lasts one hour, you have to grab the chain and jump from cage to cage solving the problems! If you fall I will bring you back, you have one hour after you drink it!" He explained the rules to the game he came up with. Frost looked down at the pink potions in their hands. The problems can't be that hard right?

Frost gulped down the glowing liquid, they set the bottle in the cage. They grabbed the edges of the cage, there was no way they could reach the chain. They threw their body trying to swing the cages.

The red head watched in excitement as his old friend swung the cage to try to grab the chain. He really missed them, even if they didn't remember him.

Frost swung as close as they could to the chain. Holding their breath they jumped gripping the chain like their life depended on it, which it might. Swinging hard they jumped over the boiling pit of lava. Grabbing the next cage they pulled themselves up panting.
