"Where is Xavier damn it! This is what I get for letting him choose his own room!" Slade thought bitterly as he walked into the security room. The flashing lights and alarm meant that somebody was getting too close to their hide out. Now, as Slade watched the many screens, he saw nothing but shadows in the distance and decided it was best to get ready.

"That boy better have one hell of a reason for not being here right now," Slade thought before going into another room and leaving the screens. Little did he know that Xavier had a really good reason for not being there at the moment.

--

Letting his tongue explore her sweet mouth, Xavier couldn't have been happier. Sure the alarm was sounding, but this was way more important. Because there in front of him, was probably one of the most beautiful women to ever walk the earth and she was moaning against his touch. No, not squirming, struggling, or whimpering, but actually moaning. It wasn't like it was unnatural for a woman to moan while Xavier was around, let alone actually touching her, but this girl was different which made it all the more pleasurable.

"This is what I want. This is what I need," Kory continuously thought to herself, but it never seemed to stick.

"Would it be painful? Would it be worth it?" she thought. Kory knew it would be painful, really painful, but she wasn't quiet sure if it would be worth it. After this would Xavier require to see her more? Would she be moved out of that dreaded room? Or would her and Xavier only be a one time thing? Was she just something Xavier used, feeling nothing for her but lust and pleasure? The questions were endless and Kory tried to push them away, but that seemed very hard to do as Xavier kissed her roughly.

Kory had always guessed that when the right time came, the time to finally go to bed with a man, that her thoughts would only be on him, but instead they were drifting further and further away from Xavier with every kiss. Her mind wandered to the common feeling of love, and the alien feeling of lust. Kory wasn't quiet sure if it was the drug that made her want this, or if she truly did want it. These were the thoughts that distracted Kory from what was happening to her at that time. She was so caught up in her thoughts that Kory was unable to realize that Xavier had picked her up and was now carrying her to his room. It was when she plopped down on the bed and he began to kiss down her neck that Kory did finally come back to reality.

"Xavier?" she asked weakly.

"Do you love me?" Kory then asked after not getting an answer from him. Xavier stopped what he was doing and looked down at her.

"No," he answered truthfully.

"Then why are you doing this? I believe I love you, but I need to know if you love me back," Kory said and Xavier sighed.

"Kory, you're beautiful with a killer body, the only thing I feel for you is lust. You can't honestly expect me to fall I love with you after only seeing you like twice," he said.

"Why shouldn't I expect that from you? I'm positive of my feelings for you. Why can't you be positive of your feelings for me?" Kory asked.

"It's more complicated with guys," Xavier said and Kory didn't respond.

"Do you want this or not?" Xavier then asked and Kory sat up.

"I'll want it when you want it… for the right reason," she said. With one last lingering kiss, Xavier stood up.

"Where are you going?" Kory asked.

"I need to go find out what's going on," he said before leaving her. Kory sat on the bed for a moment later before standing up. She turned to leave the room, but then remembered the last time she had been in the room that there had been another door that led to a room with a window! Quickly, Kory ran over to the door to find it unlocked and threw it open. Sunlight poured into the room and Kory smiled. She went over to the window and looked out to see silhouettes of people in a distance, the very faint shadow of buildings (which were miles away), Slade, and the masked man from the night she was taken.

"He's alive?" Kory croaked out, watching as the masked man ran off toward the people in the distance. Slade ran off in the opposite direction and if it hadn't been for the fact that Kory was so off in her own little world, she would have heard at least four or five gun shots.

"Has he been here this whole time? Just in another part of this prison?" Kory thought. Feeling dizzy and light headed, she returned to Xavier's room and sat down on the bed, holding a hand to her spinning head.

"Why am I so scared of him anyway? He's just some guy! I have every right to be as scared of Slade as I am him! I should be more scared of Slade!" Kory thought.

"Why am I even scared of him? All he did was kill my family, tell me I was lucky, and then kidnap me which brought me here? That's not much," she said aloud.

"Yeah! I shouldn't fear him, I should hate him!" Kory finally decided and with that she stood up.

"Now what do I do?" she then thought to herself.

"Return to my cell before Slade finds out I even left, or stay here and face Xavier?" Kory thought, pacing around the room. After pacing the distance of the room almost six times, Kory decided it'd be best that she returned to her own room. As she went to open the door, it slammed open and Kory was knocked to the ground.

"Thought you could get away, didn't you?" Slade asked, staring down at her with his single eye.

"N-no Master," Kory stuttered, looking up at him with fearful eyes.

"Then why are you in here?" Slade asked. When he asked this, Kory was unsure of what to say. She couldn't say she came here to find Xavier because then Xavier would be punished as would she.

"I was simply wandering around and stumbled upon this room," Kory lied.

"Really? Because that's not what Xavier told me," Slade said and Kory gasped.

"When I discovered you gone from your room, I asked him if he had seen you and he told me the last place he had seen you was in his room," he then added, a smirk hidden behind his metal mask. Kory was unable to reply to what Slade had just said.

"At a loss of words because he betrayed you?" Slade asked mockingly. He then raised his foot so he could kick Kory, but she rolled to the side and then stood up to run. The sound of Slade's footsteps followed Kory as she ran, but his steps were slow as in walking calmly.

"He knows I have nowhere to run, why should he stress himself?" Kory thought. As she continued to run, her hurried footsteps sounded like a whisper compared to the loud sound of Slade's metal footsteps. Kory wasn't sure if it was her fear making them sound louder or if it was that Slade was in fact wearing metal toed boots. All the same, fear was beginning to take over Kory's actions and soon she would be frozen with fear which wouldn't be good at all for her.

"Kory, you know you have nowhere to run. Why waste your energy? Trust me when I say you'll need it later," Slade's voice echoed through the dim hallways.

"Don't you dare stop running!" a voice inside Kory's mind yelled and she did as told. As much as she tried not to, Kory soon began to think about what Slade might do to her when he did finally catch up and stop her.

"Don't think about it," Kory repeatedly thought, but even that got her thinking.

"Maybe he'll hit me again? Slap me? Kick me? Starve me? Rape me?" the last thought made Kory lose all thought process of what she was doing which ended her on her butt from running head on into a wall.

"Looks like you've got yourself in quiet a delicate situation," Xavier said, leaning against the wall and looking down at Kory with a smirk.

"Yeah, because of you. I lied to Slade about why I was there and then it turns out that you told him anyway. So now I'm running from him and I hate you," Kory said, glaring at him as she stood up.

"Let me make it up to you," Xavier offered.

"How could you make it up to me?" she asked, her eyebrow raised and her arms crossed against her chest.

"I can hide you where he won't find you," Xavier offered and Kory glared at him.

"I'm still mad at you," she hissed before Xavier grabbed her by the hand and started running down another hallway… in the opposite way that Kory would have gone.

"How much longer until we get there?" Kory asked.

"Soon, just stay quiet and try to keep up," Xavier whispered before picking up his speed. Kory tried her best to keep up with his speed, but soon she found her feet stumbling beneath her. Kory yelped when she tripped and began falling towards the floor waiting for the impact, but it never came.

"Xavier," she breathed, looking up into his fiery eyes.

"We have to hurry," he breathed back before quickly pulling them both up.

"Get on my back, it will be easier," Xavier ordered. Kory didn't bother to argue, so she jumped onto Xavier's back and he began running again. As Kory held onto him, she smiled and breathed in his sent; wondering when she would see him again after this.

"We're here," Xavier whispered, bringing Kory back from her dream.

"Oh, thanks," she mumbled before jumping off him and looking around. It was a small room, smaller than the one she was previously being held in, with nothing in it but a small window letting in some light.

"It's not much but, I can bring in some things for you every once in a while," Xavier said.

"Thanks again Xavier," Kory said, giving him a small hug before letting go.

"I'll be back later tonight," he said before quickly kissing Kory and then leaving her, her hands touching her lips.
