Sakura's eyes opened. "Not this again, she thought. It felt like she had been here a dozen times before. This oh so boring room. Too dull, too dark, too ugly. But at least this time, she didn't have to wait for someone to come in to give her some answers. She inspected her cut. It was fading and almost fully healed. "Finally", she muttered to herself. She was almost half hoping someone would hear her say that. But of course, now her head hurt. Seemingly, there was always something wrong. She just lay there. She was just staring off into space, dreaming of something she couldnt figure out. Staring hazily at the gloomy wall hanging over her. It was strange, suddenly the gray and purple colors of the room seemed to mix. They created a dark array of color. She became more alert, she sat up quickly. Something was wrong, her head was aching more than ever. It seemed as if the room was spinning, never stopping. She grabbed on to the sides of the bed and squeezed her eyes shut. White-hot pain was surging through her brain, it felt as if her brain was melting. She cried out, but no one came. She couldn't remember anything, her brain went blank. Her eyes burned, even though they were closed. She couldn't handle it anymore. She fell limp back on the bed.
*********Flashback*********Running, she was running as fast as she could. She didn't have time to look back, they were coming for her. She was growing tired, why was her room so far away, the fortress was not this big. The ground in the halls kept growing, it seemed. The walls, they were wobbling and shifting. She shook her head, "Snap out of it, just run, Sakura" she said to herself. But only her brain had any action, her legs stopped dead in their tracks. She wasn't sure how long she had been standing there, seconds, minutes. She had lost track of it all. Her knees eventually gave way, and she sunk to the hard, cold floor. She turned around, to face her attackers. But, her vision was blurred, the figures fuzzy, all she heard was the voices, only the voices...... ***********
A man in a white lab coat walked up to Folken. "The experiment was successful, Folken, the girl remembers nothing of her friends." "Good, I will have Dilandau bring her here." The man in the coat nodded in reply.
"I don't care how long it will take!", Dilandau yelled. He slammed his fist into the table. "I want Van Fanel dead!" Just then a Dragonslayer with golden hair ran up to Dilandau. "Lord Folken has requested for a meeting in one hour located in the training room for all dragonslayers, but wishes to see you and the girl the lab immediately, Dilandau-sama", the Dragonslayer said. Dilandau's face twisted into a scowl. "That damn Folken, he never thinks I have anything important to do."Dilandau said siliently as he stomped off to get the brat girl.
Sakura jolted up off the bed, only to sit back down again and try to gather herself together. She remembered being captured by the Zaibach Empire at her home in Myea. How she wished she could go back, to see.... Her thoughts immediatly stopped. They shattered. She realized then, there was no one to go back to. No family or friends. Her head lowered a bit as she sank into her own self pity.
BANG BANG. Her head snapped up. Someone was knocking on the door. "No way in hell I am answering that door." Sakura thought. Sakura already had enough rage and sorrow in flowing in her. And whoever was at that door wasnt going to make it any better. She sat like a stone, slightly shivering. Sakura heard the jingling of keys and a impaitent grunt. The door flew open to reveal a very pissed off Dilandau. He started towards her and before she knew it, she was on the ground with a stinging cheek. She became more alert and quickly stood up to face Dilandau. She growled slightly at him and jumped forward. He involentarly stepped back. "Who the hell does she think she is, challenging me?" Dilandau thought. Sakura swiftly moved up close to him and tried to punch him, but instead she clawed at his scar, making it break open slightly at the bottom. A small tear of blood seeped out of the scar.
That was enough for Dilandau. He violently grabbed her arm twisting around her back and capturing her other arm. She tried to fight back, but she was too tired and weak to get out of his strong grip. His other arm crept around her waist pulling her none too gently up to his body. Sakura winced in pain, he was holding her very tightly around her stomach. She thought she tasted the tang of blood in the back of her tongue. He noticed her wince, and he loosened his grip a bit, but then pulled her back even more tightly, and let go of her arms. Sakura was filled with uncertainty, hoping he wouldnt try anything too rash. She felt his one arm still around her waist and his mouth next to her ear. She could feel his hot breath on her neck. "Listen girl," Dilandau said just above a whisper," We own you now, and there is nothing you can do about it, if you ever try anything as stupid as you just did, you will suffer the consequences."
He used his other arm to pull a small dagger out of his belt, and he slowly inched it up to the side of her face. The shiny silver tip of the dagger touched her creamy skin as it traveled down her cheek, leaving a dark, crimson line behind it. Dilandau took his arm away from her waist, and a small smile appeared on his face when she fell to the floor struggling to take a breath. He grabbed her arm and pulled her down the hall to the training room, both their eyes filled with nothingness.
AN: Ok people, I know Dilandau was violent in this chappie, but that is how he is right now. This will still be a Sakura/Dilandau. But Im not 100% sure. PLZ REVIEW!!!! THZ! Ciao~
