~Chapter 3: Attempted escape~
She ran as fast as she could, constantly looking back.
Down the dark, unfamiliar hallways, Yumiko kept glancing behind her, hoping and praying he wasn't there.
"Angel." That all to familiar voice yelled and echoed around her and she had no idea where it was coming from.
She didn't want to know.
She just run, hoping and praying that somehow she'd escape, but she knew, deep within, she would never escape him.
Yet again, she heard a cackle above the roar of thunder as the blood pumped in her ears and she turned around.
Nothing but the distance shadows.
"There you are angel." His voice said, much closer than last time.
She skidded to a halt and turned to the front, knowing what she would see.
There before her, was the man of her dreams and her nightmares.
Alucard smirked down at her, almost cruelly and his hand came up to rest against her throat, both tenderly and dangerously.
"They you are, my angel." He said and lightly squeezed the tender flesh beneath his fingertips, causing her to gasp.
But he wouldn't harm her. Not this way. He needed her. He was her angel and she was his.
He smirked sickly at her again and before she had a chance to run, a long, dark shadow came out from beside him and struck her hard across the face.
So hard, that her body flew backwards and knocked her for ten.
Yumiko cried out, only use to Heinkel ever hitting her, but this was much, MUCH worse. It felt like a thousand nettle stings had struck her skin and she could already feel the trickle of blood come forth from her mouth as she plummeted down to the ground.
She landed with a solid thud, skidding a little from the force of the blow and tried to get up. She clutched at her side with one arm (a broken rib) and used the other to try to get her up and pull her along the floor.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as she felt a sudden pressure on her back and fell flat against the floor. She glanced to the side and could see his large foot was the cause of her pain.
She looked up at him and he smirked down at her.
"Angel." He spoke, before he increased the pressure slightly, just enough to crush something within her.
"AHHHHHH! STOP! STOP IT! OH GOD PLEEEEEEEEEASE!" She cried and didn't dare move her body away, in fear that any movement might break her in two.
She felt him remove the foot from her back and place it to the side of her body.
He lent forward and used both his hands to turn her over carefully. She clutched desperately to him, hoping that it would calm him and sobbed her heart out in pain.
"Shhhh," he said, pulling her against him and stroking her hair, "it's alright now."
She sniffed into his chest and clung on, willing this nightmare to go away.
Suddenly, she was aware of the pressure on her body and she pulled back just in time to see the blackness that had captured her, come out of him once more and began to wrap around her body. She lashed out at it, only to have her wrists caught. Black, long, thick shadows crept around her legs and inside her dress. She gasped and wished she hadn't as one quickly dove in her mouth and began to go down her throat.
Her eyes where covered with a thick black blanket, but she could still feel them, moving about her, within her, going up her nose and even in her ears.
She reached out into her mind and saw Yumie.
'Take my hand!' Her twin called and Yumiko reached out and took it, thankful for the feeling of weightlessness that surrounded her.
'I've got you. Don't let go.' Yumie whispered and both girls took solace and shelter into the deep corners of their mind, with no pain and just each other.
