Turning Points
Chapter
Six: For You
(The song scattered throughout
this fic is called "Safely Sleeping" by Double Negative, which is a really cool
local band and also some of our good friends. Sorry, but their site is down, so
you can't hear it!)
"…So Tai, here's your
challenge. Either I rape Matt again, or I rape you. It's all up to you, pretty
boy," Mr. Ishida concluded.
Tai stopped struggling, his
face falling. Everything around him stopped, his senses clouding up with fear
and hatred. Tai blocked off everything, slowly letting the real world slip
away. How could this be happening? Tears forced themselves from his deep brown
eyes. His body tensed up for a moment, before standing stiffly against his
subjugator.
" I refuse to let you hurt
Matt," Tai managed to say; making sure it was loud and clear so that his
boyfriend could hear. There was a soft shuffling behind the wooden door before
Matt's horse whisper came.
" Tai…no…"
" So? I rape you then?" Mr.
Ishida's cold voice rang out, demanding an answer.
" Yes," Tai replied, his body
going numb as bile rose in his throat. Angrily he forced the bile down,
unwilling to make the situation worse. Faintly he heard Matt yelling out
protests and banging on the door, but Tai wasn't listening. Instead his
attention was centered on where he was being dragged. Tai immediately
recognized it as his Uncle's old bedroom. It looked similar to the room Matt
was now trapped in, except that the colour theme was a creamy white.
Only in a dark hell
Will the brightest angel rise,
my baby
You seep into heaven
And wait for comfort, my baby
It's the loneliness that
captures your heart
And no one's there
Tai vaguely remembered being thrown onto the bed, his clothes being ripped off sadistically and a callous slap that followed. Tai sat up on instinct, ready to combat his new foe, but the image of a dying Matt brought him down. Tai focused on the ceiling and not what was happening. He blanked out everything: the pain and humiliation, the sounds of his torturer disappeared before they reached the boy. The thrusts of hurt never created tears. Throughout his torment, Tai only thought of Matt, and how he was safe.
Don't wait any longer, my baby
This fight is over
You're the lone survivor, my baby
Of this warring rage
Matt
POV:
Two hours have passed since HE had dragged my love away. I couldn't do anything to stop it. I screamed and cried; begged and pleaded with "father", but nothing could stop the monster. There was no way I escape from the room Taichi had given me; it was too far from the ground and there was nothing to ram the door with. So, with nothing to do but wait, I slumped against the door, trying to hold back tears. It didn't really help me to think that everything would turn out all right; after all, I knew it wouldn't. Tai was being brutally raped, all because of me. I might as well throw myself out the window now. Tai will never want me, not after what I did to him. The cold sobs rack my body again and again. I don't try to stop them. It was pointless to try. Gradually I felt the light slip away and darkness filling my soul. What it brought I did not know, except…
End of POV
Your memory still lives in me
What white wings you wear
I can see you faintly
Drawing a smile to cornered lips
Ivy fills my skin
The hood won't eva be the same
A small click at the door awoke
Matt from his dreamless sleep. The stiff door slowly opened, and a shivering
Tai entered. His hair was mussed and there were trickles of blood escaping
numerous wounds on his chest and back. As soon as he was inside, Matt pulled
him down to the floor, holding the brown haired lad close to his heart. Tai was
too injured to do anything but fall sobbing into Matt's arms.
So sleep safely angel
Heaven's gates have taken you in
No more will you feel
No more will you hurt
Attach your wings and fly
The crystal sky is yours and mine
Matt refused to let go of Tai for almost an hour. Tai
simply lay there, tears streaming down his battered face.
