She led him past the
cages and it felt good having him in her power again. Blinded and
relying only on her to choose the path.
Then the girl saw them and
her deafening desperate scream"Jack!!!!" tore trough hot humid
air .
He tensed immediately and Juliet heard muffled"Kate"
coming from him.
"Of course" she thought sordidly.Her fingers
closed on his forearm with unnecessary force, short nails digging
into his flesh, her other hand unconsciously touching tazer.
Pang
of irrational jealousy gnawed at her heart .
As they
reached brightly lit room Juliet freed Jack from linen sack.Light hit
his oversensitive eyes and he squinted swaying lightly.
"Are you
gonna untie me now?"his voice was mere rough
whisper.
"No,Jack"Juliet shook her head sadly"but no harm
will come to you" she added feeling metallic taste of lie on her
tongue.
He looked at her intently not even trying to hide his
suspicion.
"In fact Jack ,I need one more thing from you and it
won't be too nice.You need to be sedated now."Juliet averted her
eyes from him for a seconda lready knowing what the answer will
be.
"Absolutely not.What you want with me?"his voice was low
and he was becoming agitated,dangerous flashes already evident in his
dark eyes.
He was bound she was still quite afraid of him
remembering clearly their first violent encounter.
"Jack,please.Don't
make it harder than it has to be" she pleaded in her softest tone
producing the syringe from her khaki's pocket.
He stiffened
immediately and she could almost feel vawes of adrenaline pumping
trough him.
"No" another growl.
She hoped it wouldn't
come to this but she had to do what she had to do.
Giving him one
last saddened stare she turned towards door shouting"Ok I need help
here".
Two others came in immediately and and although Jack
fought them as much a he could it was clear that resistance was
pointless.
Soon he was sprawled on the floor panting heavily,
looking like hunted down animal ,his burning eyes full of anger and
fear.
Juliet slowly aproached him ,his hate almost palpable and
concentrating on her making her almost recoil from him,her heart
aching strangely.
"Don't" he wheezed sharply as Juliet made
the needle deftly enter his vein.
Unbearable heat shot from his
forearm to his heart and head pushing him almost immediately into
darkness.
Juliet watched as he fought it for a moment but soon his
body went limp and he was like rag doll in the arms of his
captors.
"Leave now" Juliet ordered and two men left the room
obediently.
Now that she was alone she let it go-single cold tear
rolled down her face as she leaned over Jack's prone body
whispering "I'm sorry".
Shame of her betrayal left her for a
moment making place for the feeling she couldn't describe and moment
later for the feeling she didn't want to name...
she wanted it
from the begining-to touch him to explore him on her own terms,desire
like magnetic power drawing her to him.
She knew it was wrong ans
somewhat sick but she couldn't stop herself. Her fingers touched
his legs, chest and arms feeling bones, tendons and muscles there,
exploring gently but firmly at once, in similar way that she imagined
she would do it during sex.
She traced his pale lower lip with her
index finger and her eyes lingered at his closed eyelids as she tried
to memorize his face ,face that she already loved.
She saw his
eyelashes flutter softly as he seemed to slowly wake up.Then his half
opened eyes locked with her and she heard whisper that would be a
sneer if he had an ounce of strength in him"Liar". He moved very
slightly and she tensed immediately ready to move away but then
powerful spasm of pain twisted his features, which relaxed back
seconds later as he instantly lost consciousness once again.
First
signs that the blend is working she thought shivering ,the
weight of what was about to happen coming to her with full
force.
"You will get trough this and then it's gonna be all
right" she reasured him her eyes scanning his unresponsive face as
if looking for signs of forgiveness.
Her palm trembled for a
moment over his pale cheek but then she collected herself, took her
hand away ,stood up and slowly approached the door.Opening it she
said evenly"Tell Ben he's ready"
Her heart froze
again.
Numbness –her cure for pain.
