Olde Gods
"The Divine Mother hath blessed us with her prodigy, the Divine [Mother] hath cursed us!"
The bright light of a headlamp shone blindingly in the young man's face. He had been in the dark for so long, his eyes were unable to adjust immediately.
"I've been awake for hours, you couldn't even check on me? So much for compassion," Sasuke spat with the blood that filled his swollen mouth. His body was a mess of rigid muscle and broken bones strapped down to a glistening metal chair. Hands were bound to the armrests in swollen fists, adorned with gashes and bruised.
"I'm here now, so why don't you answer a few of my questions?" The woman who spoke before Sasuke crossed her arms and met her eyes to his.
"I want to know how you massacred an entire team of agents. How were their limbs severed? How were jaws ripped apart with your bare hands?" The woman stated awestruck, noting the teeth indentations on the young man's hands.
"How is it you accomplished all that," The woman said though clenched teeth, pausing to lean dangerously close to Sasuke, "But you can't escape from this chair?"
Sasuke gave a scoff at the woman before him, slightly shaking his head.
"You an idiot" Sasuke laughed, "a fucking idiot."
The woman's face stayed placid at the insult, waiting for the other to continue, but was only met with defiant silence. Without warning she closed a fist and launched it into Sasuke's already battered ribs. Sasuke simply sighed at the unwanted contact.
"If you think, by some stretch of your good fortune, that I am restrained by the force of these binds, you are shit out of luck" Sasuke laughed. The woman before him stepped back, but remained otherwise unchanged by the other's words.
"I found you unconscious-"The woman started, but was quickly interrupted.
"I was sleeping."
"You were sleeping? What do you-"
"You're not with the agents. I don't know why you'd think this façade would work," Sasuke laughed, flexing his fingers. The woman's stone like face wavered, showing a hint of fear laced with something unintelligible.
"If you were, we wouldn't be in a basement."
"This isn't a base-"
"This isn't a car" Sasuke laughed.
The woman cocked her head to the side, searching her thoughts for the reference.
"I found you."
"I called you."
"No you didn't!" The woman yelled, walking out of Sasuke's viewpoint. An overhead light flickered on, illuminating the barren space. It was just as Sasuke assumed, the basement of some city centered townhome.
"You think you happened to waltz into a massacre of bodies, and for some fucking reason, take the only one alive to your house?"
The woman slowly moved back into his viewpoint, hands gripped together for comfort.
"You know about the agents, you know about Naruto, you know about a lot of shit you shouldn't. I've seen you, followed you, and made you come to me. I need your help, and before you ask a fuck ton of questions, just listen to me.
"You know that dream you have, where-," Sasuke hesitated, as he saw her face contort from fear, "where everyone dies. Everyone in the fucking world dies. You see a blonde guy, Naruto, rampaging. He kills people with a single look, if they're lucky. Others, he rips apart… You know what I'm talking about."
"How the fuck do you know about that!?" The woman screamed, stomping towards Sasuke, wrapping her slender hand around his neck tightly.
"You can't die, you don't feel pain, and you have these dreams just like me." He narrowed his eyes at her, unaffected by her grip on him. She squeezed tighter, anger guiding her hand, crushing his windpipe. Sasuke pulled his hands free with ease, and shoved her forward with blinding speed. She landed against the concrete wall on the clear end of the room, cracking it significantly.
"We have to stop Naruto, it's what Mother wants."
"I don't have a mother" She laughed, rubbing the back of her head. It was bleeding, but as he said, she felt no pain. She never did.
"Yes you do, we both do, all three of us do. We all share one."
"You make less sense by the minute."
"Why don't you shut your mouth and listen then, Hinata, since that's your name in this life." She opened her mouth, but quickly closed it and furrowed her brow, not knowing what to say.
"You forgot what you are, because you were the first to fall. You were the weakest, or so Naruto would say. Its time you remembered, so let me tell you a story."
I hope you guys like it so far? I hopefully will keep this fic going as I really do like it.
