A/N - I am so very, very sorry for the late update. However, i made it up for you. This is the longest Ch i have ever wrote for Phoenix. Hope you'll enjoy it :)
You know what's the worst pain of all ?
To lose someone you love ?
No. Betrayal..
Alexandra Udinov and her Wolf like beast Alexis had a dilemma. The woman they both loved and lusted for was hanging in front of them like a hunted animal prepared to be skinned. The Beast looked at their Sensei in lust, because these things just unbearably excited her. Chains, pain, blood and many other sadistic things.. She was a beast, after all. She was the monster in this body. In their mind...
However, when the Princess started to feel the same thing, when she started to feel lust over fear, she knew that something was definitely wrong with her. Alexis told her that her urges were Alex's. They are one, after all. And when the Princess saw her broken and defeated Knight hanging there, hopeless, powerless against everything she or Amanda could do, she felt incredible. Being in power felt so good. The Princess loved when her Knight used her as she wanted. She loved the feeling of being used, being told what to do. Now however, with Alexis whispering silent thoughts of lust and rights into her mind, she suddenly didn't knew what to do. She didn't knew if she enjoyed being the naughty Slave was better than being the strict and cold Master.
However, these things must be dealt with later. For now, she had her Knight to save.
"I can't do this. I can't torture her.. Anybody but her" Alex said in her mind, informing Alexis that she simply couldn't hurt her lover like this. Not if there isn't pleasure waiting for them both. Alexis frowned, feeling disgusted. Not by her weaker part however, but by her weakness as well. Hurting Nikita was something she couldn't do. Not for someone else to watch. Causing pain, she enjoyed that very much. But suddenly all her blood lust was gone. The only emotions that remained were hate, fear and regret.
Hate for the Queen. Exposing the beast's one weakness like this was simply too much to handle for her. She wanted her dead, more now than ever. To feel blood on her hands, to tear her throat out with her bare hands. She simply wanted to end the poor Queen her own way. By blood, pain and hatred.
Fear for the Knight. The beast felt fear for someone she should hate. This hanging Knight was her only weakness. Her inability to act disgusted herself. She should have just accepted this. Should have just take over Alex's mind entirely, torture this enemy and get promoted. World needed to feel her wraith, after all. Now, the only think that mattered to her was the fact that she couldn't move, or speak. How could she torture the one person she loved so much ?
Regret for Alex, and partly for herself too. She was a beast after all. To have a weakness this strong and evident was simply unacceptable for her. She was the animal, the one without weakness to bound her will and actions. But now, she was afraid to breathe, to speak. The beast without fears, feared more than ever. She felt so weak..
However, she had to stay strong. She had to play her act for them both, she had to at least try to torture their Knight. Otherwise her cover will be blown. She knew that Alex was on the brink of crying and killing Amanda at the moment, but that wasn't the plan. They both needed to get away safely...
"Weakling. Let me handle this." the scared and angry beast said in their mind, but the Princess was very skeptical about this idea.
"No. You'll hurt her!" Alex quickly replied, trying to prove her point but the Beast simply shook her head, yelling back.
"I won't ! Just trust me in this or you're both dead !" the Beast yelled like crazy, annoyed by her own weakness. The Princess had no other plan, so she simply nodded. However, with a warning..
"I swear, if you'll do something to her.." Alex said angrily, shaking her head. And after hearing this, Alexis simply smiled dryly. How could she hurt her one and only weakness ?
How could the beast torture the one she loved beyond any means ? Was anger and pain truly enough for her to forget ?
You know what's worse than betrayal ?
Killing your own family?
No. When you're betrayed by your lover, and you're forced to put her down..
What the Knight saw made her cry. Her Princess, her Alexandra was standing in front of her, gaze broken and hands shaking. She knew her, she knew what she felt. Those beautiful eyes were full of love and admiration when she last saw them. Now, all she saw was fear. And rage. Pain, anger. Everything, but love. She even saw.. Lust ? Was that it ? Was her Princess really excited about this ? The Knight had to admit it, she felt too. Being in her mercy excited her beyond any healthy measures. If it weren't for Amanda staring at them both...
However, there were many many questions. Did her little Princess really betrayed her ? Did all those words and promises meant nothing ? Did their eternal love just ended ? Just like that ? The Knight felt broken. Hollow. Why to fight, when there was no reason to ? She knew very well that her hand would never hurt her Princess. Not willingly. And she felt that her Beast had the same way of life. Same path they both followed. Never hurt the Princess. However, their lies were hurting her, they both knew it. But Kirin always silently whispered into her broken mind these silent lies. It's for her own good.
The Beast felt her owner's doubts about their lover. She felt them too at first. But there was something foul in the air. Something wasn't right. Something with their Princess. She could feel it clearly. Another presence in the air. A foul and angry presence..
The Broken Knight just stared at Amanda's student. She couldn't help herself. Even if she betrayed her, she was still looking so beautiful and innocent. Her heart was being crushed by the simple regrets that she didn't stopped the Princess from revenge. They could still be together if she would have done more. She should have forced her to stay. She should have told her the truth..The Beast immediately reacted, whispering her worries into Nikita's mind..
"There's something wrong, Nikki.." the beast silently said, appearing in front of Nikita. Her fist clenched angrily, her rage was too evident.
"What exactly is wrong here ? My lover is standing near my enemy.." the Knight said with disgust. Betrayal. Nothing more, nothing else. The Beast quickly shook her head, trying to calm the enraged Knight.
"No, you don't understand.. I feel someone else.." the Beast tried to explain but Nikita didn't listened. She just saw her Princess with the Queen, standing near each other like best friends.
"How could she.. My Princess.." the Knight said with a slight cold laughter. Things were seriously strange. How could her Princess betray her in this way ? The Beast was tired of these idiotic and weak words..
"Nikita wake up dammit ! There's something wrong with her !" the Beast yelled unable to listen to this anymore. She felt it, she tried to explain, but the Knight was far too enraged to listen..
"There's nothing wrong with her ! She betrayed us ! She betrayed me and our love as if it was nothing !" she yelled, smashing everything in her mind. She wanted to hurt the Princess for everything. She wanted to punish her for this.. No matter if the Beast enjoyed these thoughts, this had to wait. They will have times for this after they're gone from Division.
"Shut up for a second and listen ! Amanda did something to her, i can feel it !" the Beast was entirely enraged. Not by the thought that the Princess betrayed them, since she knew there was something wrong with her, but by the fact that Nikita didn't trusted her younger lover. Kirin was the beast, she was the one who should not trust her. And still, Nikita gave up so easily..
"You mean.." the Knight whispered a silent question full of hope. She prayed to the Goddess that her Princess was innocent in this game..
"Yes, there's another Beast in the play.. And if so-" the Beast tried to explain. She felt another animal in the air. Another Beast.. Nikita, shocked by this sudden information, quickly interrupted her Beast..
"She can't control it. That's why she's with Amanda... Please tell me i'm right.." Nikita's eyes begged the Beast for her answer.. She needed to know the truth..
"I don't know.." the Beast simply replied, waiting for events to happen. There was no other way of telling if the Princess turned, or not.
However, they both realized one thing.
Even if she did turned to the enemy's side, they will both do nothing about it.
The Wounded Phoenix and the Broken Knight couldn't hurt their Princess. She was their life, after all.
You know whats worse than killing your lover ?
Live without her ?
Seeing her turn to the wrong side in front of your own eyes..
However, the events needed to go forward. Both Beasts and their masters needed to do things that could destroy them completely. And this Medusa standing in the room with them didn't helped at all. They simply had to act. Time and Gods will show how this night will end.
"Alexandra, what took you so long ?" the amused yet confused Queen asked, touching Nikita's jaw with her fingernails. The Princess felt jealousy but her Beast quickly took over so there would be no problems.
"It was hard to find this place. This whole place is like a giant maze.." the Princess said coldly, her Beast trying to maintain the situation. She wanted to snap Amanda's neck, run to her Knight and get them out of there. But with these cameras and the guards standing all over the place, that plan would not have a happy ending. The Knight in disbelief stared at the Princess, unable to breathe..
"Never mind that. I trust you know Nikita already ? She's the one from the file i gave you.." the Queen introduced their guest, and the Princess slowly nodded, going closer to Nikita. Amanda just stared as Alex, or rather Alexis, went closer to Nikita, her hand ran through her hair, touching the place where Amanda slapped her few moments ago. The Knight fought the urge to moan, since her touch felt so damn good. The Beast quickly realized what she was doing, so she quickly grabbed her neck, gripping it tightly. Amanda was most pleased..
"I know. You finally cough the bitch huh ? Don't believe my own eyes.." the Princess said dryly, not amused at all. Her eyes silently hoped that Nikita will understand. She stared directly into her chocolate orbs, begging for forgiveness. What she saw however made her fears only rose. She saw hatred and disgust..
"Yes, she had her fun with few of our new recruits, but Michael had managed to bring her down. It seems that she still has something for him.." the Queen laughed, pacing the space in front of Nikita and behind Alex. The Princess felt jealousy and hurt. Michael again. Damn Bishop playing his filthy games in their love. Alexis enjoyed jealousy and pain. She laughed, shaking her head. The Knight understood this movement. She did it whenever they were talking about Michael. She knew that her lover was jealous of Michael because of the time he spend with her. What the Knight didn't realized however the fact that her Princess was temporary out of her mind. She slapped her Knight hardly, angrily yelling in the process. Alexis wanted to show their Knight that Michael had no place in their life. The Knight simply moaned in pain, and in some sick way she even enjoyed it. The Queen simply laughed, enjoying the show.
She looked to the table standing behind Nikita, where all kind of disgusting torture tools lied. She got an idea how to play with her Knight a little. Alex tried to stop her, but there was nothing she could do. Alexis enjoyed this far too much to lose control now. She let the Knight go, Nikita tried to take a deep breath. The Beast slowly walked towards the table with blades..
"Is that so ?" she asked with a laughter as her hand touched the sharp blade on the table. Amanda was confused at first. Nikita wasn't the one to be silent.
"It seems like it. What is it Nikita ? You've been awfully quiet.." she asked the Knight, eagerly waiting for the answer. The Beast did as well as her fingers played with another sharp blade. The Knight laughed, feeling Kirin's wrath burning her inside.
"This whelp is the one that will break me ? Don't make me laugh Amanda. This is your new pet ?" she looked behind her, her eyes met Alex's once again. There was a sinister smile on Nikita's look as she tried to play with the chains once more. No use, as always. Nikita spitted on the floor, her gaze returning to the Queen in front of her. She closed her eyes, feeling that Kirin wanted to speak to her again.
"What do you think ?" the Beast asked, confused by this new form of their Alexandra.
"Definitely something wrong with her. Its weird, but it kinda turns me on when she's like this" the Knight simply smiled, partially enjoying this whole situation. The Beast laughed loudly..
"Heh, yeah. She's very different.." the Beast agreed, still feeling the unfamiliar presence.
"See Alex ? Even when she's chained like an animal she still has that bite.." the Queen talked even though the Knight had her eyes closed. Alex picked the blade, slowly walking towards her hanging lover.
"Doesn't matter what she has. Nothing but a bitch in chains.." the Beast laughed, her hand gripping the blade firmly. Her eyes met Amanda's, and the Queen simply smiled, nodding.
"Alexis ?" she said that name and suddenly both Nikita and Kirin understood. They were right after all..
"She couldn't handle this. I'll have some fun on my own.." the Beast touched her neck, tilted her head a bit. She enjoyed the power and control she had. It felt so good. She was slowly losing her mind..
"Percy wants you to kill her afterwards. After that, you'll be promoted.." the Queen explained and the Beast suddenly stopped in her movement. She knew she couldn't do it..
However, Alex was not so convinced that her Beast was able to stop..
"Don't you fucking dare to touch her !" the Princess yelled in her mind, pointing her finger at her Wolf-like form. Alexis simply smiled, shaking her head.
"Or what little Lexi.. You'll kill us ?" the Beast joked, slowly trying to go back. However, the Princess wouldn't let her. She had more to say..
"You promised !" the Princess yelled, angry and frustrated at the thought of her Beast hurting this sacred woman. The Beast touched her own hand, smiling wickedly..
"I did..." she laughed, evidently enjoying this game. The Princess however was furious and desperate..
"Stop this, i beg you.." she tried to convince her beast this way, and Alexis was more and more angry..
"I won't torture her you fool ! Just show her what happens when she goes Solo on a mission. And with Michael.." the Beast took over again, shaking her head.
The Queen was confused and so was the Knight. However, Nikita knew what that moment meant. She was talking to her beast. Maybe she was in control, after all.
"Alexis ?" the Queen asked, waving her hand at her. Alexis simply smiled, the blade slowly tracing a line over Nikita's bare arm. She let out a sharp moan when the blade pierced her skin a little, few droplets of blood hitting the floor. The Beast licked the blood from the Knife, smiling in the process. Both Amanda and Nikita were surprised to see this. Alex herself was surprised as well..
"Kill her ? While she's chained like a powerless dog? Not a chance.." the Mad Beast looked behind her at Amanda, on her face was still that wicked smile. The Knight was, for the first time in her life, scared of her younger lover. Had she really gone entirely mad ? The Queen however was confused. Why did the Beast wanted to spare this poor prisoner ?
"Why ? We wanted this after all.." Amanda came closer to Alex, confusion never leaving her cold and emotionless face. The Beast simply smiled, shaking her head. Her hand touched her lover's velvet skin on her neck, her nails gently tracing a line down to her breasts. The Knight fought very hardly and Kirin enjoyed this far too much.
"The fact that i hate her doesn't mean i don't respect her Amanda. I won't kill such a strong warrior while she's chained like a dog. And i know that you don't want her dead.." the Princess looked back at Amanda, her hand still on Nikita's neck. The Knight felt something cold on her neck, and she realized that it was probably the Ring she gave her younger lover all those months ago. She kept it on her finger. Was this really just all a game ? The Knight did not know what to think anymore..
"True, it would be a huge shame.." the Queen said, walking in circles. She was quite eager to see how exactly will her new student deal with her old one.
"Drug her. Hide her somewhere. Then find me someone else to play with. I feel that touching this filth will only make me go crazy" the Princess replied with disgust, slowly walking away from her Knight when she saw that familiar lust in Nikita's eyes. It was for her own good, she whispered to herself. She came closer to Amanda, shaking her head. "I would just kill her. What do you think bitch ? How long would you last ?" the Beast asked her Knight with a raised eyebrow, evidently enjoying the fact that she's in control. The Knight simply shook her head..
"From watching you, i think that hour is enough.." Nikita said with a slight laugh, her eyes focused solely on her Princess. It was a while since she last saw her, that was the truth. Her lust for her only grew since their last meeting few months back. The Princess, once again, recognized that lusted gaze. Her fingers played with the sharp blade and Amanda laughed again, writing something down on her datapad.
"Huh.. Funny. Less than ten minutes. Six maybe.." Alex's eyes silently played their game with Nikita's, silently telling her to trust her and to start count once she leaves this goddamn room. The Knight however was not convinced at all. Her cheek still hurt from the slap her Princess gave her earlier. She looked down to the ground, then back at her Princess. She laughed in the process.
"Six minutes. A long time to play.." the Knight said still laughing, shaking her head. The Beast became quite annoyed so she simply ran towards their Knight, blade holding tightly in her hand. She placed it on Nikita's neck, forcing her laughter to stop. Alex's eyes were full of anger but also full of hope. Hope that now, the Knight will understand and trust her again. She grinned her teeth, the blade was slowly piercing Nikita's skin. Amanda, still writing on her datapad simply smiled, proud of her new student.
"Everyone is blind under the gaze of Elune. Your death will be a great gift for her, in the end.." the Princess said and suddenly the Knight understood everything. She taught here these words. Not in this way, but she did. It was a question given all new members. And what else ? Since the Queen wasn't looking at all, the Princess slowly nodded, her eyes whispering words of trust. The Knight for the first time since she was here smiled honestly. The blade on her neck however was still piercing her skin.
"No one is blind under her gaze because our mother lightens our path. Your death will be a honor to give.." the Knight replied, and Alex let out the breath she didn't even knew she was holding. Silently, of course. She took the blade away, looking secretly behind her. The Knight simply nodded. When the Queen heard these words, she stopped her activities instantly. Confused to hear this, she simply stared, not asking anything.
"Yeah, keep talking and i'll tell Amanda to leave us for a while.." the Princess played her role again, slowly walking behind her Sensei, scanning the chains that bound her. She looked at the ceiling and an idea quickly popped inside her brain. The Queen was focused and partly enraged by this. How could this recruit talk about the sub leader of Division like this ? Was she insane ? The Knight had similar thoughts..
"Watch who you order Alexis. The fact that we're partners doesn't mean i will jump at your command.." the Queen said angrily, placing her data pad back into her pocket. The Knight felt like laughing since Alex was making an utter fool out of her, but still. She had to fight. Alex simply smiled. She was enjoying this far too much. She went closer to Amanda, her hand slightly brushed against Nikita's hanging body, sending shivers through her own already excited body.
"Then do your fucking job right. I will not touch Nikita, no matter how badly you or Percy wants it. She deserves a better death than this.." the Princess said, her eyes pierced Amanda's. The Knight felt terror and fear. What the hell was her Princess doing ? She will get killed for this. Nikita could take pain of any kind, no matter if its Alex who's causing it. But if something would have happened to her...
Amanda was more than angry. She was literally pissed. However her mind told her to control her rage.. At least for now..
"We still need that info. You do realize how many recruits are waiting for a chance to torture the legendary Nikita ?" the Queen explained, pointing at their hanging host. The Princess and her Beast both felt rage as they imagined someone else torturing their lover. There was no one else..
However, this game had to played until the very end.
"Then ask them. I want to have my fun with her, believe me. But not like this.." the Princess was annoyed, her eyes pierced Amanda's in a cold stare full of hatred.. The Queen simply smiled, unable to believe what she was hearing. And even in front of their enemy. Very stupid..
"I expected something like this from Alex, but you Alexis ? Percy has expectations. I have expectations. Do not forget your place. You're still a recruit, nothing else.." the Queen said proudly, and Alex knew she was right. However her Beast felt rage. She had to get everything from her mind or it would explode..
"A recruit that knows everything about your plans. A simple recruit you trust with everything, a recruit you train and a recruit you need to help you. I wanted one thing from you. A suitable torture material. We both know that i didn't meant her.. I want to meet her on the field, not here. Do your fucking job Amanda, or our deal is off.." the Beast inside Alex let out entirely, pointing out the basics of their relationship with Amanda. The Queen trusted her beyond any measures, which was rather strange. The Queen never trusted anyone. And to trust a recruit above everyone else ?
Things were really strange in Division. The Knight however was not amused at all. She wanted her to do it. To torture her. It was the better alternative. Seeing her Hime arguing with the Ice Queen was something very dangerous. Fear struck her brain..
The Queen felt like she was about to burst into laughter. To see such courage and anger in one's eyes was something she haven't saw in ages. And to be honest, she had wondered if she ever saw someone so angry and furious. It was a rather fun show to watch.
"You're threatening me Alexandra ?" the Queen asked with a slight laughter, going closer to Alex. The Princess smiled, shaking her head.
"No, just warning you.." she said, stretching her muscles. She yearned for a fight. She just waited until the Queen would make the wrong move. The Beast wanted her to do it..
"This is not how things works.." the Queen stopped her movement few inches away from Alex, her eyes pierced hers. Nikita felt anxious and angry. Damn these chains, she wanted to slash Amanda's head down for making Alex so cold. Just like she was when she was here..
"Is that so ? Then how the fuck does these things work ?" the Beast asked with a wicked smile, her arms crossed on her chest. She was standing right in front of Nikita, as if protecting her from Amanda's wrath. And what a wrath it was. Amanda was absolutely furious..
"I give you an order, you will follow it. Right now, i ORDER you to torture this woman. I ORDER you to get the intel from her, and i ORDER you to kill her afterwards. Are we clear ?" she said, her hand was ready to prove her point like she did so many times with Nikita. However, something was holding her back. She wasn't sure if it was fear or carefulness..
Both the Beast and the Princess laughed violently, tears almost poured down her face. She enjoyed when Amanda was like this..A broken woman trying to win back her control. The Knight on the other hand knew that things were going to turn from bad to a disaster very soon. She wanted to yell at them both to start with the torture already, but Kirin stopped her, eager to see how far is Amanda willing to go to get back her long lost control.
"No" the Princess simply replied, letting the knife drop on the ground. The sound it made startled both Nikita and Amanda. Her eyes never left Amanda's. On her look was that cold, adamant stare her Sensei used to have all that time ago when they first met.
The Queen was on the brink of showing the Princess who exactly is she dealing with.
"Alexandra.." she said, her fists clenched with rage and fury. Who was this young girl to threat the Queen like this ? Who was she ? Alex simply smiled, Alexis silently spoke into her shattered mind.
"Alex ?" the beast said with a huge grin. Alex was still trying to gain control, but for the moment ? She didn't cared. Nobody will order her what to do. Not anymore. Nobody but her Knight was allowed this privilege.
"Yeah ? " the Princess asked, having a weak smile on her face. She was tired..The Beast felt this and so she said something that bounded them together for a long, long time...
"Lets get that bitch.."
And suddenly, the Princess snapped. Her eyes were broken, her nerves were broken. She was the one that needed to save the Legendary Nikita. She had to save her lover. Punishment for Alex's actions will surely come, she was sure of that. But she didn't mattered. For the first time since her awakening, Alexis felt a strange bond with her Master.
A bond of a starting friendship.
The Wolf Princess yelled furiously, fist clenched, teeth ready to bite..
"NO ! NOBODY ORDERS ME AMANDA ! NOT YOU, NOT PERCY, NOT ALEX ! NOBODY ! GO FUCK YOURSELF ! But i warn you, if you bring me down, you're going with me !" she yelled, pointing at Amanda, showing her fists. She felt the bloodlust so intense and powerful. She almost felt immortal.
Nikita very well knew what was happening. To lose utterly control, that was their curse. Or a blessing ?
The Queen stared, afraid to even open her mouth. She had Nikita and Kirin both under control when they were here. Alex and Alexis on the other hand... She lost every control over them. She felt it now. There was no need and no way to fight this Wolf Princess. Amanda knew it was futile, anyway..
"Alright, we will talk about it later..Go to my office, but let nobody see you. Surely not Percy. I'll come back when i'm done here.." she pointed at the door, hoping that the Wolf Princess will listen. She even prayed, which was rather strange.
But it helped. The Wolf Princess looked behind her at her wounded lover, her eyes promising rescue and help. The Knight nodded, afraid to even open her mouth. It never happened to her that she was so afraid of anyone. And this was Alex we are talking about. She had no reason to be afraid of her.
"Our little cub has grown into a powerful Wolf. Look at Amanda Nikki. She's trembling with fear !" Kirin laughed but Nikita was still shocked.
Was this truly the same Alex she loved so much ?
You know what hurts more than seeing your lover change ?
Be the one responsible for these changes ?
Exactly..
6..
Amanda did not understand. Everything went right. Alexis was controllable, she was sure of that. She ran the tests, every possible outcome of this situation. She expected blood and screams and pain. Alexis was wild, after all. But this never occurred to her. Maybe Alex found a way to persuade her Beast to work with her. Maybe Alexis wasn't as strong as she thought.
So many question, yet there was still one problem. Nikita. She saw everything. She saw how weak the Queen acted. Amanda was the one in control. She needed to feel it. She needed to control people around her. But now..Her subject reacted back..
"I wish you were right Nikita.." the Queen said, still shocked by this sudden event. Alexandra was getting out of her control. But truth be told, did she ever controlled her ?
The Knight knew exactly what she was thinking, Kirin told her so. But still, she had to play this.
"What ?" the confused Knight asked, shaking her head. She had enough of everything at the moment. The wound on her arm that Alex caused, the bullet wound Michael caused. She was just tired of everything. Her mind however wouldn't give up. She knew she had to play this for five more minutes.
5..
"I wish she was just another brainwashed fool looking for my approval. It would make things so much easier.." the Queen confirmed Nikita's and Kirin's idea of Amanda being, maybe for her first time in her life, afraid. Of a mere recruit that knew who exactly killed her parents. An idea hit her shattered mind. Will she react like this when she discovers the whole truth ? Will Nikita be just another victim of her wrath ? The Knight silently smiled. She wondered if Kirin would have won this feral battle.
"You can't control her, can you ?" the Knight asked, still smiling. Her Princess was never the one to control. Not by anyone but her. The day they made love, Alexandra gave her full control over her body. Over her soul and mind. Over her entire life, to this one Knight. The Samurai of her life. Her protector..
Amanda was more than displeased by this situation. Not only her pet fought her in front of Nikita, she was also having fun. She was literally laughing into her eyes. The Queen saw this clearly. She saw this many, many times in Nikita's eyes before..
"No. She has her own head. It seems that i created another you, but no matter. She will fall in line, just like many others did. You, my dear student, will fall too.." the Queen said, trying to take her control back, but the Knight simply laughed again. Amanda went closer to her, inside her was that damn lust to punish her previous student. Nikita enjoyed this so much, and so did Kirin. She loved to see her creator like this. Unable to take her control back..
"I don't think so.. You seem afraid of her. When i yelled at you, you simply shocked me or hit me but you did at least something to punish me. To show me my place.. Now i see only fear in your eyes. You created something that will one day destroy you.." the Knight knew she was right. Alex will be the one that will destroy this place, with, or without her help. Today's events proved that point. She was ready and eager to kill. Kirin reminded her what was important for the moment. Four more minutes..
4..
The Queen was enraged, how could she be afraid ? She was never afraid of anything or anyone. She will surely not be afraid of a ex-junkie and a sex slave, no matter how dangerous or uncontrollable she was. Alexis or not, Wolf or not, she will take control over Alex, one way or another.
"I do not fear anything Nikita. I'm just being cautious. I thought that you were the worst lunatic i have ever seen but she ? I've never seen so much anger in anyone before. I punished you because you never tried to fight. You were so submissive to me, you never fought me, until the very end when Kirin took over. Now, i'm not entirely sure which one is worse. Alex or the Beast I created.." the Queen was so proud of her work, that damn pride never left her still confused gaze. She traced a line on Nikita's face with her fingernails, and the Knight quickly laughed, showing her head from side to side to get away from her touch.
"She will kill you all at the end Amanda.. You have no idea what you unleashed.." Nikita, proud of her lover and her wrath said, Kirin reminded her of those beautiful eyes that were full of anger and lust few minutes ago. She loved that gaze..
Amanda was suddenly very confused. She commented about the Woman who was supposed to torture her as if she knew her. She should have been afraid, not praise her..
"You speak as if you know her.." the Queen asked, her eyes focused on Nikita's, never really leaving them alone. The Knight smiled proudly.
"I don't. I just remember how i felt when you ordered me to do all those things. Torture, murders, kills... Everything. I was submissive, yeah. Because i had nothing to live for, only Division. You guys saved me, after all. But i think that she partly realizes that you did absolutely nothing for her.." she said with disgust as her memories of their sessions hit her mind. Kirin tried to hold them off, but it was of no use. Her main focus for the while was counting. This required precise timing.
The Queen simply tilted her head, touching her neck. She had enough of this day. When Percy discovers that she doesn't have any informations, and that Alex didn't killed the one targer the whole Division wanted dead, he will be furious. More than that.. He will want blood for this..
"And you think that she has something to live for ?" the Queen asked, eager to hear the answer. The Knight knew the answer already. She knew what her lover was living for, beside revenge. Their love.
"I don't know. It seems that she does.." the Knight smiled, looking down at the ground. Memories of their passionate nights embraced her mind. Kirin however had other things on her shattered mind. Three more minutes with this psychopath..
3..
The Queen had enough talking about Alexandra. They were here for a slightly different reason. There were problems she had to solve.
"No matter Nikita. We are not hear to speak about her. I will deal with her when this is over, have no worries. She will know her place.." the Queen said as she walked behind Nikita, taking a small remote. Her head already planned a devious idea that will hurt Nikita the most..
The Knight however wanted to talk about her Princess. She needed to know everything.
"What, you will shock her ? Drug her ?" the pain and fury in her eyes were evident, the Knight knew that. She couldn't control it. She needed to protect her Princess, no matter what. No matter the cost. The Queen quickly shook her head, slowly walking back to her previous place, in front of Nikita. She clicked the remote and a plasma TV went down from the ceiling. Kirin instantly knew what this was all about. She hoped that her Master wouldn't submit this time..
"There are many ways of pain Nikita. You of all people should know that.." the Queen explained with a smile and the Knight was partly confused. However, she had a mall idea on what this was about. She braced herself for the worst.
"And why is that ?" the Knight asked, but her question was soon answered when she saw someone on the TV screen. Someone who still partly owned her heart, even though Alex made sure she owned her all for herself.
"Daniel. You still mourn him, after all this time ?" the Queen pointed at the couple in the bed, they were bathed in sunlight, kissing romantically, hands holding each other's, fingers entangled together. It was still a fresh wound, after all this time. Leaving her past behind worked only partly, it would seem. It was so good to see Daniel again.
A lonely tear escaped her eye when the man on the TV screen said I love you. More tears fell down when the man said Marry me. And at the end, the Knight was entirely broken and weak. Alex. She had to think about Alex. She loved her. She will marry her. They will be happy. They will fight together as one and they will.. They will... Daniel..
The Queen was more than pleased by this sight. Broken and crying Nikita. That was something you don't see very often.
"Shut up.." the Knight managed to say, feeling her own tears on her tongue. How she missed Daniel. How she wanted Alex right now. Kirin tried to calm her down, but it was for now avail.
"What, did i hit a sore spot ? Is your heart still pained by your memories of him ? Or maybe i should refresh your mind ?" the Queen touched her face again, wiping out her tears.
"I said shut up.." The Knight spitted on her face with disgust, earning another sharp slap from the Queen. She welcomed the pain. It created anger. Anger she needed to face her blooded memories.
Amanda switched the pair on the TV screen. Another man, everyone knew how, appeared, holding the Knight tightly, kissing her. The Knight felt disgust and pain in an one strong combination. Her past with Michael was never ideal. It was never supposed to be ideal. It was just a release, nothing more.
"Or maybe Michael filled that spot in your heart for the moment ? Maybe you have your own memories of him as well ?" the Queen continued her violent play and Kirin decided to react, since seeing her Master in this state was simply not made for her.
"Nikita goddammit stop this ! Alex needs you ! She won't make it on her own !" Kirin tried to explain, and thankfully, the Knight heard her.
Alex. Her Princess. She needed her. They needed to be together. Daniel is her past. Michael is just her memory. But Alex was her present and her future. She was the most important thing in the world for her. The only person worth fighting for. Worth breathing and living for..
The resurrected Knight smiled wildly, shaking off her tears. Alex was somewhere out of there, fighting to get them both away. Nikita had to stay strong..
"This usually works for your slaves Amanda ?" she asked with a laughter, shaking her head. Not much more. She will get out of here soon..
The Queen saw that the Knight hanging in front of her eyes was trying to control her broken mind. Her bloodied memories. This was not part of the plan..
"Your previous lover shot you, he brought you back into this hell. He brought you back to your family, you should be thankful to him.." the Queen tried to bring her pain back, but it was no use. Nikita's only thought was the Russian beauty she owned. The Russian Princess that owned her. There was no one else..
"Oh, i am don't worry. A shotgun to his face is an excellent gift for him.." the Knight said with a laughter, her eyes full of pain and anger. The beast swiftly informed her Master about the time. Just two more minutes..
2..
The Queen recognized this change. She saw it before when they talked about Daniel. She remembered that gaze she always gave her. Everything felt strange all of the sudden. Was the Legendary Nikita in love again ?
"What changed Nikita ? You seem so.. Different. Is there someone else in your life perhaps ?" the Queen asked, switching off the TV since it was no longer working on Nikita's mind. Amanda was confused, these tricks always worked. On Nikita, on other recruits as well. Alex was really becoming more and more like Nikita in these ways. Uncontrollable and feral..
"What do you care ? Your student will kill me after we're done anyway.." the Knight said, smiling in the process. Images of her lover swiftly attacked her mind. She will see her soon, she said. And Kirin eagerly nodded. However, the Queen was getting more and more furious. Her plans are being destroyed, one by one..
"Do you love someone else Nikita ?" the Queen asked, eager to hear her answer. The Knight simply smiled again, playing with her chains. They will be gone, soon enough. They will be replaces by something similar though, if the Princess would like that. Nikita certainly will..
"You killed love in me the day Michael killed Daniel. The day when Percy gave that order. And the day you created Kirin. No, there is no love in me anymore Amanda. Not anymore. All i feel is hatred and pain. Emotions YOU created. You told me yourself that i need only them. So why would i seek love ?" the Knight said coldly, staring directly into Amanda's eyes. These were the words Amanda taught her. It was the truth. Her Princess proved that it wasn't. Her love made everything right again. She was no longer the broken Knight. No longer the angry and dysfunctional Phoenix, hunting for blood and pain only. She was loved and she loved back. It felt so right..
Amanda knew it. She knew she saw this gaze before. She knew it far too well...
"You're in love. I see it in your eyes, no matter how hard you try to hide it. I see it clearly..But i wonder who is the unlucky one ?" the Queen stared at her former student, searching for the answer in her chocolate, yet broken eyes. The Knight smiled. There was no need to lie any longer.
"Your mole..." she said, staring directly into Amanda's eyes, laughing. Both Kirin and Amanda were surprised by this answer. Mole ? Amanda thought. Alex ? Kiring thought.
"Our mole ?" Amanda asked, surprised to hear anything about this so called mole. They were on a hunt, yes. But he was Nikita's lover ? How strange. Kirin wanted to yell at her to stop, but she quickly silenced her in her mind, unable to hold the truth for herself any longer.
"You didn't knew ?" she asked with a slight laugh, shaking her head in disbelief. Was Division really this stupid ? Amanda's nerves were on the edge of destroying themselves.
"Knew what ?" she came closer to the Knight, her hand swiftly grabbing her neck, forcing her to talk. Nikita was enjoying this beyond any healthy measures.
"Idiots.. Thom was right about you after all.." she laughed, spitting the name of her so called lover. Amanda's eyes widened and Kirin was laughing as if she was crazy. Throwing a bone to the Division dog. How very funny..
"Thom ? The agent with the broken arm ? What does he have to do with you ?" Amanda quickly wrote something on her Datapad, surely informing everyone about this so called betrayal. Angry Nikita was a mastermind, after all.
"He was right all along..." she laughed again, enjoying this situation. And if everything is going according to the plan, she will play with Amanda very soon.
"He's your mole ?" Amanda, still not believing the fact that their new promoted agent was a sleeper one. A mole, nothing else. She felt disgust. However the Knight laughed and laughed, tears running down her face. Kirin realized that it was time..
"Answer me Nikita !" Amanda yelled, hitting her again furiously. Nikita just laughed...and laughed.. and laughed. Until Kirin told her there's only one minute left. This will be rather weird if it won't go as planned...
1..
"You want an answer ? How do you think i sabotaged your every operation Amanda ? How do you think i found Owen and the box ? How do you think i saved all those people held by the Chinese syndicate ? How do you think i helped Ryan ? How do you think i fought Ari ? You have no idea how stupid and pathetic you all are. You think showing me Daniel's pictures and videos will change something ? You think that your pathetic whelp will kill me ? So stupid. After all those years, you are all just so stupid. But don't worry. I will end you all. In the end, it will be mine name you will all be yelling when i'll slash your throats and pierce your hearts. But you..." Nikita played with her chains one last time. She could already feel her freedom at hand. Amanda was staring confused and slowly backing away.. As if the poor bitch knew what was waiting for her.
"I will smash your head over the wall right at this fucking MOMENT !" the Knight yelled furiously and then she felt it. Those trembles and echoes. The ceiling suddenly crumbled, and so did her chains that bound her.
She was free, Kirin ready to kill everything in her way. And Nikita was more than happy to allow that. Her chains fall to the ground with the hard rocks still on them. She felt indeed as a wild beast that just had her first kill. She felt so incredible. Free again. She loved her Princess more than anything, and right now ? She wanted to prove that point.
Her violent and maniac gaze was focused on poor Amanda, the scared Queen that quickly trying to unlock the doors. No luck.. Her hands just couldn't work properly.. So, instead, she yelled at the guards to open them and to take this wild beast down. Nikita, or rather Kirin, was slowly closing in on Amanda, her eyes gripping the titan chains, her eyes full of anger and the new found lust. She looked like a lunatic, a maniac. A beast that escaped her prison to kill and feed herself. She felt so... Free..
"She's loose ! Open the doors now !" Amanda yelled as two poor guards entered the torture room, wielding nothing more than shock batons. Pathetic.. The Knight smashed her chains over their poor bodies, then she quickly kicked the one, his head and his back smashing the wall violently. The other one had his neck snapped in half. Nikita tilted her head, cracking the bones on her firsts. Amanda never saw something so feral in her entire life..
"What, afraid to meet the thing your lies created Amanda ?" she asked her former teacher, a sinister smile on her feral face. She saw few more guards as the Queen swiftly exited the room, locking it behind her.
"Stop her !" she yelled at the others that rounded near the door, as if waiting for their certain death. Amanda quickly ran towards the elevator, looking behind her for a moment. She saw the door being smashed to the opposite wall, blood and screams everywhere. Everyone yelled, some even ran. But there was no escape. The Phoenix was officially on her hunt. She roared into the sky, her eyes turning scarlet red. She picked the baton that was stuck inside this guard's head. The blood smeared her face, and she felt so good..
"We will see each other soon, Teacher.." Nikita smirked at Amanda as the elevator doors closed.
She enjoyed this. She enjoyed blood and freedom and screams. There was only one thing she enjoyed more.
Her Beautiful Russian Princess.
Yes..
It hurts..
I'm not sure..
Do you understand ?
It still hurts after all this time..
But do you truly know what hurts the most ?
Why won't you tell me ?
Wake up every morning without your lover beside you..
Live every day as a shallow corpse, eating, killing, without a reason to breathe..
And at the end of day, lie down to your bed-like grave every night without your lover to hold you tightly..
And then die all alone with regrets of not being there for your lover when she needed you the most. Regrets of you causing her death..
And you think this will happen to us ?
One day ? Perhaps..
It will not..
It might.
No.
