Yay a new review! And now an update! Thanks so much MinecraftedPocky!
Stumbling forward she roughly fell against the floor. Not knowing which direction was right, up, or down she squeezed her eyes shut before opening them again. Her vision was spinning from that horrid thing her kidnapper liked to pull, with the wind and shadow and then suddenly finding herself somewhere completely new. She doubted she would ever get used to it and hoped she wouldn't be around long enough to have to.
The first thing she noticed was cold stone pressing against her flattened cheek and palms. Pushing her upper body up she attempted focusing on her surroundings. The distant hum of a waterfall in the distance could be heard echoing off the walls.
Pushing her knees up so she was resting her weight on them she continued observing the dark room. While the floor was smooth the walls were rough and obviously made up of natural rock that wasn't meant to be anything but cave like.
An open archway allowed a purple light from outside to spill over her. It was darker then it had been moments before meaning it was getting later into the night.
A large pile of thick white sheets were spread across the floor against a dark corner of the room. Above them hung a white bed net allowing whoever lay there protection from any insects that may wander inside.
Trailing her gaze away from the strange bed she noticed that the room was bare of furniture or objects of any kind.
"You'll be sleeping in here until I decide what I want to do with you."
Turning towards her kidnapper she couldn't help but give him a cold smile that didnt quite meet her tired eyes. He was standing underneath another archway leading into a pitch black tunnel that led to god knows where.
"Where exactly did you bring me?"
She unknowingly clenched her hands into fists.
"You're not in your world anymore, you're in mine."
With the end of that statement his dark figure turned away from her and disappeared into the darkness.
She really hoped he was going somewhere to die a slow painful death.
Pushing herself up from the floor she slowly edged towards the archway that allowed the night air to spill into the room. She was met with quite a large view of that same waterfall cascading down the cliffs and flowing into a thick river. Below she could scope out miles of land surrounding her. To her surprise there was actually miles of trees behind the large grass plain she had stood upon earlier.
The trees looked to be a different array of colors but it was much too dark to makeout their hue. Squinting her eyes she searched the grass plain for that horrid girl from before.
She easily spotted the bridge she had leapt from earlier, but she was too far away to see the blood splotches that stained its wood. Sweeping her eyes away she examined the grass across the way searching for a hint of movement.
And then to her horror she spotted the girl. Her heart clenched in her chest from the disturbing sight. Backing away from the archway she fell backwards onto her backside.
The girls long black hair framed that same distorted white head. She was crouched on all four stumps staring up at the same archway she was standing in just seconds ago. She was watching her.
With wide eyes she backed up even further into the dark room.
She wondered how the hell she was going to get out of this. Was she even safe right now? What if that same grudge girl came crawling into this room when she was sleeping.
she gagged with the memory of the red liquid that had been dribbling from the girls mouth.
Rubbing at her watering eyes she immediately stood up and searched for any type of weapon that could be laying on the floor. To her disappointment she found nothing.
Glancing at the tunnel 'violet eyes' had disappeared through she began trailing towards it.
What was she to do now were the words that rang through her mind. If she explored this dark passage her kidnapper would hurt even more people... And even though she didn't have the best relationship with her family she wasn't cold enough to ignore their death on her hands.
Letting out a shaky defeated sigh she dropped to her knees, ignoring the pop of her knee caps slamming against the stone floor. Another bruise didn't mean anything anymore. She was alone in the world and she had no idea how to save herself.
xXx
The seconds passed on into minutes, the minutes stretched on into hours, there she sat blankly staring into the dark passage way. Dark circles lined her eyes, an emotion of defeat and depression was devouring the inner workings of her mind.
"Am I going to become insane?"
She half heartedly uttered to herself.
She was hardly surprised when she heard a familiar voice drawl out from behind her.
"You really are pathetic aren't you. I was almost hoping you'd try and leave just so I could show you that I'm a man of my word."
Her eyes slightly narrowed before returning back to her blank depressed stare.
She continued to stare into the suffocating darkness of the tunnel as she spoke in a monotone voice.
"Who is that girl?"
He knew exactly who she spoke of.
"She is a symbol."
A frown of confusion crossed her face.
"A symbol? A symbol of what?"
"A symbol of what I do to your kind. A symbol of power. A symbol of what I won't not do. She assures the others that I have not grown weak."
Stiffly turning her head behind her she narrowed her eyes with disgust.
"You did that to her?"
Standing up from her position she turned towards his shadowed figure and rushed towards him. She ignored the aching in her stiff knee caps and the tears trailing down her cheeks.
"You torture humans? That's what you do!? Is that what you like?!"
She was growing hysterical about ready to throw herself off another cliff. Bringing her hands up to his neck she squeezed the light fabric of his shirt into her fist.
"You sick fuck, why would you do that to someone? How could you hurt somebody and like their pain... I just... I don't, I can't-
A loud sob broke from her throat.
Suddenly she found herself being squeezed against a broad chest.
"Stop it." He hastily said.
Another sob escaped her throat. She was at a complete loss of words.
"You couldn't understand."
Shaking her head from side to side she buried her wet face into his chest. She noticed his embrace around her grew tighter.
"This is so infuriating, why can't I kill you..."
She didn't respond instead only relishing in the self pity from this situation.
They stayed like that for a few minutes with her openly crying into her enemy's chest.
She was so absorbed in the moment she didn't register another voice in the room until her kidnapper had pushed her away from his embrace causing her to fall onto her back.
"Is this a new pet Scylus?"
Rubbing at her swollen eyes she directed her attention towards the foreign snake like voice. Her breath caught in her throat causing her to let out a strange hiccup. The new man standing in the room looked eerily familiar.
The man had long black hair that lengthened to his lower back. The ends of his hair were flowing around his body as if they were submerged in water and had a mind of there own.
His yellow eyes swiftly observed her pathetic form before directing their attention towards her kidnapper.
"You haven't had her for very long I'm assuming?"
His sentence was very obviously questioning and sounded even a bit accusing.
A growl reverberated from 'violet eyes' throat.
"Why are you here?"
"I thought I'd come and find out what exactly you think you're doing."
The shirtless slender man slowly began to walk towards her. Each slow step he took reverberating off the walls. Her eyes widened with a new surge of fear when he stopped short in front of her.
Grabbing a handful of her hair he lifted her from the floor until the edge of her toes were grazing the floor.
A scream of pain ripped from her throat. She clawed his fist in her hair and tried to scratch out his eyes but he held her at too far a distance for her fingers to scathe his face.
"Look at me girl." He demanded in a booming voice that made her want to shrink from the spot and disappear.
Her eyes began to water from the pain he was causing.
Closing her eyes she refused to heed his words. She felt the fist grow tighter in her hair causing another sob to tear from her lips.
"That's enough!"
"What do you mean that's enough? I haven't even gotten started. Why don't we start by cutting off her lips. That way she'll have a reason to cry. And then we could move to ripping out this ragged hair that she has until she doesnt have a scalp."
"Kaine if you don't drop her in the next three seconds I will kill you."
'Violet eyes' voice had grown deep and demonic sending an unnatural chill through her bones.
Very suddenly she was dropped to the floor her body crumpling like a rag doll. Her heavy breathes came out in short pants. She couldn't believe he had just threatened to scalp her and cut off her lips.
"Maybe we should cut off those tits if that's what's distracting you." The man said in an angry voice.
Backing away from the two men while still laying on her back, she crossed over into the dark passage way, never keeping her eyes off them.
The place where her kidnapper had stood seconds before was now taken up by a figure shrouded in darkness. The shadows of the room began to move of their own accord enlongating into sharp vine like shapes that lengthened across the walls and slithered through the air, all of them pointed directly at the unwelcomed guest.
The snake like man backed away towards the open archway. A deep angry scowl etched his narrow features.
"You've grown weak Scylus, do you realize you just protected a human!"
Suddenly incoherent words whispered through the room in a language she couldn't recognize.
The man seemed to understand them because his face grew angrier if that was possible. And then as suddenly as he had appeared a swift shadow rose from his feet over encumbering the length of his body and leaving behind empty space where he once stood.
