Summary: Fifty scenes from a story unwritten, with one fact reversed: what happens when the Gentle Darkness is not gentle?

Johan closed his eyes for a few seconds, memories of Juudai's voice slipping through his mind. He didn't want to hear those words again, but what he wanted and what happened hadn't been the same in months.

"The door isn't locked." He'd stared at Juudai, not comprehending what the reason for that was. Wasn't he Juudai's prize captive? He would've expected at least a dozen guards and three or four locks that Fubuki wouldn't be able to pick in under six hours. But there were neither locks nor guards.

"Because if you leave, I will catch you." Juudai smiled as he stared down at Johan, slyness to the look that sent chills down Johan's spine. "You will only get as far as I choose to let you. I will find you, Johan, I will bring you back here, and you won't be able to stop me.

With every word that Juudai spoke, Johan's heart beat faster and faster. There was no chance he lied. Or at least, he didn't think he was lying.

Juudai shifted closer to Johan, golden eyes burning in the darkened cell. "When I bring you back here, you will know what pain is." Threads of shadow worked their way toward Johan with a flick of Juudai's finger, binding his wrists and ankles, then lifting him to dangle from the ceiling. "This is just the first taste."

What went through Johan then sent him jerking and struggling in the bonds and screams echoing from the stone walls. The shadow threads lowered him to the ground and melted away into the darkness. Juudai reached over to lift up Johan's chin up with one finger.

"What I do to you then will make that look like sweet pleasure." He pressed his lips against Johan's, sucking and nipping at them for long moments. "You will beg me to stop and then beg me to finish." His smile was that of a nightmare. "Then you will beg me to kill you." His voice dropped down to where it was just audible. "But I won't."

He stepped aside, leaving Johan to collapse into the two blankets that he'd tossed in there with him. "Don't ever forget this, Johan. Because if you do, I'll be certain to remind you." His eyes gleamed in the darkness once again. "The hard way."

Johan couldn't be sure how many months passed in between then and now. He didn't think he wanted to.

He can only do that to me if he finds me, and I won't let him find me. He clenched the deck in his hands, still a little surprised he'd even been able to find the Gem Beasts. I thought he would've hidden them better.

At any rate, it was time for him to get out of there. He'd planned this as well as he could, marking when patrols of the corridors passed by, what kind of patrols they were, and everything else he could imagine about them. This was the best chance he was ever going to have.

He crouched in the alcove he'd chosen and waited. Any minute now…

The tramping feet of a patrol passed his hiding spot. Johan spared a quick glance as they marched out of sight and darted out. He'd paid attention to as much of the layout of the place as he could, but he was also going blind on some of the areas. He would have to do his best and hope with all of his heart.

Before long he was out of the castle and running free, his heart thrilling to the fresh air.

Behind him, golden eyes watched and cold lips smiled.

The End
