Let's Play A Game
Summary: "Let's play a game, shall we? The only way to win is not to get caught. If you lose, that means you're mine. And if you win… we get to play again. And again and again until you lose." AU. Rae/Red X.
WARNING: X is… a bit out of character.
AU Alternate Universe. Raven does not have powers in this, because if she did it would cause me some problems. You'll see why.
"Let's play a game, shall we?"
His smirk annoyed her to no end, aggravating her so much. She stared at him silently, her eyes following his every movement as he circled around her.
She had somehow gotten caught up in this… this sick, twisted gameof his.
The worst part of it was, she doesn't even remember how.
"I suppose its like… cat and mouse. The only way to win is to not get caught."
Ironic, considering she was the one caught in this mess.
"If you lose, that means you're mine. I'm allowed to do whatever I want with you." His hand touched her waist, but the minute she went to slap his hand, her arm was caught in his grip, not letting her go.
"And if you win…
"We get to play again. And again and again until you lose."
Bastard.
"Who are you?"
It came out by accident. She didn't mean to say anything. It just… slipped out.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You know the rules... You do as I say, and I do believe I told you to keep your mouth shut. And since I can't trust you to do it yourself…"
In a blink of an eye, her mouth was taped shut with a red x.
"I'll have to do it for you."
She inwardly cursed herself for not being able to stay quiet for a minute while he explained the rules of his sick and twisted game, and looked him over, taking in his appearance.
A hand grabbed her chin and forced it to look up, right into his skull mask. "I also believe I told you to look at me when I'm talking to you. Do you want your name or not?"
She narrowed her eyes, but looked at his mask all the same. She had to trick the information about herself out of him so she could go home… wherever her home was.
"I'll take that as a yes then! Now, for every game you win, you'll get a piece of your life back."
"And if you lose the first time, you have no choice but to give up your former identity—"
I don't even have it genius.
"—And take the one I'll give you."
Her eyes widened.
"And remember the rules I set out before? We'll keep playing until you lose…"
"You have a ten second head start. Ready?"
"If I don't find you in ten minutes, you win. Set."
"Good luck.
"Go."
Um… prologues are meant to be short? Hehe…
Do you know I reposted this? Because I found out I had Raven's name in here and erased it immediately. :p
Yea, I really shouldn't start a new story. I wasn't planning on it either. But the whole evil X thing from Madman is still in my head and since I can't believe that's over (and I have no intentions of writing a sequel unless I think of one) I'll settle for this story instead:p
So I wanted to write a oneshot, but I want it 3-5 chapters… which means each chapter will be longer than this. Obviously. But Raven HAS NO POWERS PEOPLE. AU UNIVERSE. … kinda. X has the suit; don't ask me how he got it unless I somehow fit it into the story. Basically, Raven has no recollection of her former life (I'm not telling you why or how), and X uses this to his advantage to play a "game" with her.
… I guess the whole idea of X not being sane appeals to me. I don't know if that's a good thing.
Oh! And I have no idea how to end it! Whoo! … I'll still try to update. Promise.
And for those of you who read Underhanded, I have no idea how to start the next chapter. So if you read that, any ideas for my inspiration?
Love,
Ivy
