Chapter 10 Weird

Raven managed to make it to the same point as last time, the corner where her choice was left or right. So far the Somoan douche known as Roman hadn't come along. It was just her and the eerily quiet street. Each house that she came across was dark, the only sign of life was her walking down the cold concrete, there wasn't a sound to be heard. Raven stopped in her tracks, allowing herself to look around properly. There was something off about this whole location, something familiar and yet foriegn. Then a thought struck her, perhaps she should go back to Seth's, at least she knew the evil he dished out. Raven shook it away, the slight glint of something in the distance taking her attention. She noticed the last time she was here, a slight glint in the distance that just made the whole scene weirder. Taking as much time as her mind would allow her, she made her way towards the weird glinting. That eerie silence bursting in her eardrums with each painful step she took. Her hand with it's missing finger reached out for it, her remaining four digits wrapping around a chain link fence. It went up further than she could see, no doubt barb wire lining the top. Raven kept her disfigured hand on the fence as she took a her left and kept walking, when she got to the end it confirmed the devestating thought in her head, the fence went all the way round, she knew damn well that it was meant to keep her in.

"Now do you see why it's futile to escape Raven?" Seth said softly from behind her. Raven turned around her back pressing up against the cold metal.

"Then why so eager to get me back?"

Seth let a gentle chuckle as he stepped closer to her, this time he was far more weary of her, she had proven too many times for his liking that the fight in her couldn't be snuffed out so easily. "I know you enough to know that not only would you try to escape but you would be the one to make it to the top, although I don't see you doing that with a broken leg and missing finger"

"Well why don't you go away for bout an hour and we'll see"

Seth stretched out his hand to her, "Make it easy on yourself for once Raven and come back willingly"

She stared at him, her plan stretching out further in her mind that taking his hand was the only way it would go off without a hitch. It would be the ultimate revenge and given that she had all ready suffered a broken leg and a missing digit, she knew that a little more pain and torture would be well worth. Hunter was right about one thing, she would do anything to get her own way. Right now that meant taking Seth's hand and letting him lead her back to his version of hell.

Seth cradled her hand lovingly, their fingers entwining like young lovers on a stroll. Seth looked at their fingers, the warmth spreading in his heart before I could stop it.

"So are you gonna tell me what this place is or do I have to be bound to a pole in order to get some answers?"

Seth pursed his lips together before deciding that she could know the truth, because after tomorrow's test she may not be here much longer.

"It's a compound"

"I got that Seth"

"Hunter has been asked by the government to find the secret to perfection, he asked Dean and I to test the guinea pigs"

Raven squeezed his hand hard, an evil look thrown his way, "You don't have to call me a guinea pig, it's bad enough I'm missin my damn finger"

"You realise that you didn't have to cut off your finger"

"Now you fucking tell me" Raven rolled her eyes "So when you find the secret to perfection what happens then?"

"He wants a blood sample" "So he can inject himself and make himself perfect"

"No, we're gonna use it for the military, so we have a stronger army to fight wars"

Raven laughed "Oh Seth it's so cute how you think Hunter cares about anyone other than himself"

"He works for the government Raven, he wouldn't betray his country"

Raven kept laughing, that maddening laugh that pissed him off. "Seth let me tell you somethin about my 'Uncle', Hunter only cares about Hunter, and he will do anythin to make sure that no one gets in the way of that."

"You're wrong"

Raven stopped, wrenching her hand back from his. "Let me tell you what's gonna happen Seth, as soon as you, Dean and that douche-bag who tackled me finds your perfection, Hunter is going to kill you all, and the worst part is he won't even be creative about it, he'll just take you out in the middle of the street and shoot you in the back of the head"

"He wouldn't" Seth spat out, he couldn't believe that he was feeling things for her, clearly all she cared about was her own skin, just Hunter said.

Raven let out a breath, her hand gently touching his a softness bursting through her silver orbs. "It's what he does Seth. He uses people to get what he wants then he discards them. Hunter only cares about Hunter"

In his anger Seth shoved her, he didn't want to believe that his friend would betray him, not after everything Seth had done for him. Raven hit the pavement painfully, her head smashing against the concrete with a dull thud. For the moment she just stayed where she was, waiting for more pain. She was about to get up when Seth's body smothered her's to the ground, his strong hands pinning her wrists, dark green peering into hard silver.

"Guess I am good enough" Raven smirked pushing her hips up, feeling his excitement growing against her thighs. Seth didn't say anything, he just lent down gently and kissed her. His hand letting free one wrist to tangle in her hair, instead of fighting back like she would've in the past, Raven found herself wrapping her arm around his neck pulling him closer until the scent of him was stuck in her nostrils. Seth pulled away for air, deep pools staring back at each other lovingly. He knew he shouldn't of kissed her, it only made her fate harder to accept. She was going to die and he was going to be the one to put her down. It tore his soul deeper than he thought it ever could.
