The Unknown Dragon Slayer 9
I woke up and tried to stand as soon as my eyes opened. I knew I was in a room with two guys that were mentally ill, and I didn't want to be there. But as soon as I was off the bed I swayed and fell forwards into someone's arms.
"Folken, she woke up earlier then we thought, but she can't stand," He said. I didn't know who it was, but I knew that I didn't want to be held by them. I tried to push them away and once they weren't holding me anymore my legs buckled and I landed on the floor very hard.
"Uh, ouch," I said and tried to stand again. But I couldn't. I didn't know what that drug was doing to me, but I knew it was making me defenseless and I really didn't like that. Someone picked me up and put me back on the bed. I couldn't do anything, I was much too tired and my eyes wouldn't even open. How was I supposed to fight back if I couldn't see? They covered me up and I could hear them walk away. Before I knew it I was asleep again.
I woke up again, and I think that the drug had warn off. But my head was sure hurting. I sat up and opened my eyes. I looked around and saw Dilandau and Folken watching me.
"I can't escape, you have good ears, remember?" I asked, holding my head. Folken smiled and Dilandau glared at me. He had been since I saw him.
"Dilandau, we know what that one can do, now hold her down, there are still two more," Folken said and Dilandau came to pin me to the bed.
"Oh no you don't!" I said, and hoped off on the opposite side of the bed. I wasn't going to let them get me again as quickly.
"Afraid? Poor little girl," He said. "We're going to ruin your mind and there's nothing you can do about it," He said, and as soon as he did he leaped across the bed and pinned me to the ground. I didn't even have a chance to blink! He was like a cheetah or something. Holding me down on the cold floor of Folkens room I tried to get up but Dilandau was too strong and I was still tired.
"Let me up! Get someone else for your dumb experiments!" I yelled and tried to push him up off of me. But like I said, I was still tired. "Why don't they use you? Your messed up as it is!" I yelled and tried kicking him off my body.
"Hmph, they need a sane mind to start with, but don't ask me why they're using you," he said, and Punched me.
"Agh, abuse won't stop me!" I said and Folken was now at the foot of the bed, almost 7 feet away. Maybe less. Dilandau punched me again and put his forearm along my neck, choking me.
"No, but it's nice you see you struggling," he said and watched me as I gasped for air. I couldn't breath and I knew that Folken was close.
"I can't ::Gasp:: Breath..." I struggled to say. Dilandau glared at me and when he realized that I wasn't lying he brought his arm off my neck. I coughed and tried to clear my throat. Dilandau got off of me and rolled me onto my side. I shoved him away and kept coughing. After a little while He shoved my shoulders back down onto the floor and held me down. Folken Brought another needle down to my neck and I still struggled.
"Let me up!" I tried again and again but every time I yelled the more that Dilandau pushed down on my arms. Finally Folken was able to get it into my neck and my mind went fuzzy and I stopped struggling. It was like they had given me...I don't know. Nothing like that had ever happened to me before. It was like, It was making my muscles relax, but it was making my mind more alert and ready to defend myself. "Oh.....oh man...." I said. Dilandau pulled me up, but when I stood on my feet my knees buckled and Dilandau had to catch me. He pulled me up and put me on the bed. My head was pounding and it was like I was sleeping, but I was awake at the same time.
"What is this one supposed to do Folken?" Dilandau asked.
"Make her see the worst things she can think of, forcefully," He said. Almost as soon as he said it I started hearing things in my head. 'She's dying right now' And seeing my best friend Laura (Hint Hint Laura!) in an alleyway with a gun to her head. (That's a very bad thing!)
"Oh no! Laura!" I yelled and tried to focus on something else, but I saw it. I saw everything, the way her body fell against the wall of the Alley, the blood streaming down her face. I didn't want to see it. I tried to think of playing soccer of Volleyball or something, but I saw it. I watched them run away and it was like a spirit self of me ran to help her. (Don't actually die okay? I'd cry if you did ::Sob::) But the seen changed before I got to her.
I saw my family being in our house and someone dousing it with gasoline. 'What's he doing?!' I asked myself, and soon as he lit the match I cried out. He dropped it and almost immediately the house was set aflame. I could hear the screams and shouts for help but no one came and no one called the fire department. I heard the ear piercing calls and started crying. In the "Dream" I collapsed and my hands came up to my face. I cried and the hot tears wouldn't stop coming from my face. The next one came just as fast as the tears from my eyes. It was strange for me though. I didn't understand it at first, actually I didn't understand it until much later.
Dilandau was fighting with Van, I was standing in a corner of the room and praying that they would both be okay. Allen came from no where and Dilandau fell to the ground. Blood was coming from his neck and his head. The tears started again and they came even faster then they did before. I didn't know why I was crying. I didn't like him at all, did I? No, I used to, but I hated him now. Then out of no where Folken Stepped out and his sword flashed out and the top of Allens head flew off. I started crying even more. And Van just glared and put up no defense as Folkens sword came down on his head. I couldn't stop crying and hoping it was all a dream and that it would just stop. I didn't want to see any more.
I had watched my best friend die in an Alleyway for no reason. She didn't do anything! It wasn't fair, she was just walking and the next thing she knew she was dead. No, she didn't know that, all she knew was that there had been a gun to her head and he had pulled the trigger. And my family... burned. The tears started again and I heard the pitching screams and the burning house. I watched it burn again and the roof fell down. As soon as it hit I heard more screams of them pleading for god to help them... and my family wasn't very religious. I couldn't take it anymore, m mind skipped to the last one I saw. Dilandau's body on the ground, with blood coming from his mouth and I cried more then I did before. His head was tilted back and his right hand was on his stomach. I collapsed near his body and covered my face with my hands. I didn't want to see it, but the mental picture was still there. I cried and cried and felt like nothing would help what was happening to me.
My eyes snapped open and at first I couldn't see. I blinked and I felt the last tears I had formed roll down my now soaked cheeks. I looked around and saw Folken watching me carefully, but when I looked at Dilandau more tears came, but I blinked them away. I saw he wasn't looking at me and I wondered why. It was strange, normally he would be glad to see me hurting, wouldn't he?
Folken started towards me again, and I looked at him with pure hatred. I waited for him to get close enough and when he was the heel of my foot smashed his jaw and he flew back. I jumped up and crushed the syringe under my foot, sending the liquid along the floor. There was no way I was going to let them put that in me. I scrambled up and hit a switch on Folkens desk. The door opened and I ran to get to it. But as I was on my way Dilandau attacked me.
"Agh! Get off Pervert!" I yelled and kicked him. I tried to roll him off and as soon as I did Folken was right there, he stuck something in my neck and I was out in a sec.
* * *
I woke up and no one was in the room. My head was seriously pounding and my eyes were barley open, but I could still tell I was alone. I flipped off the covers and stood up. I knees failed and I grabbed the bed for support. When I thought that my legs could hold my weight I stumbled to the button and pressed it. I turned around and tried to run for the door, but my legs couldn't work that well and I ended up tripping myself. I slowly got up, but it was as fast as I could manage. I didn't know when they would come back, so I didn't stop to see if the coast was clear. I blundered down the hallway and ran into someone on the way. Just my luck right?
"Tora?" They asked in surprise. I didn't know who they were, but I tried to turn around and when I did they grabbed my arm.
"Let go," I said, and pulled back, but when I did the motion sent my whole body off balance and they cought me by the waist. "Let me go," I said, and tried to push them away, but I was too tired and he was too strong.
"Tora, I'm not going to hurt you, come on," He said. I didn't know who he was, but his voice was soft and calm and I felt myself drawn to it. I tried to open my eyes but I was too tired and I just walked up to him. I wasn't going to bother who he was right now. I didn't care if it was Dilandau or one of the guards. I hugged him and he held me tightly. I was quite sure that Dilandau wouldn't do that, so I let myself fall asleep in their arms.
* * *
I woke up in the room again. And this time Folken was right there, so as soon as I opened my eyes the needle sunk into my neck.
"Ohhhh...." I said. I had no idea what this one was going to do to me. And I didn't want to know.
"What about the other one?" Dilandau asked.
"She crushed it, it's going to be a long time before I'll be able to get another dose," Folken said. My eyes closed again and I was out in a second. It didn't matter that I tried to fight it. But the drug didn't make me tired, it was like Fire was going through my veins. It hurt IT HURT! If you've ever got a burn at the 3rd degree? Multiply that 100 and then times it by the 17th power. It hurt so much, I couldn't believe that anything would hurt so much. It was like my body was being inflamed from the inside out and it was like all my organs were being melted.
"AGH!!" I screamed and was gritting my teeth to try and stop myself.
"What is it doing to her?" Dilandau asked. I couldn't tell what it was, but something else was in his voice then just pure hatred. It was like... I don't know, like he was worried, or something. But I knew that couldn't be true. Dilandau was Dilandau, a reckless male worrier for the evil Empire of Zibach. And I had a reason to call them Evil now. Anyone would after what they were doing to me. I kicked and trashed and was banging on the bed, silently begging that the pain would stop.
"Making her feel like she's being burned. From the inside out. That's why we didn't use you," He said. "If we used you then ...never mind," Folken said.
"Then what?" He asked.
"You wouldn't be able to fight for a while," He said. "She won't be able to do anything but listen and sleep for a while. The drug is going to make her too tired after dealing with all the pain," He explained.
"Aghh," My voice shook, I didn't know how long I could deal with this. It hurt so much! I was shaking and tears were coming down my face. They felt Ice cold compared to what was happening in my body.
"Oww," I said. I had realized that screaming didn't do anything but make it move around my body faster then it was before. I was getting shivers and desperately wanting a break from the pain that was running through my veins. Finally the pain stopped and I was able to relax.
"That...hurt," I said, a lump was forming in my throat and my voice was shaking. I opened my eyes and was glad to see that no water had formed in them. It hurt to move and I couldn't do anything.
"Dilandau, you can go now," Folken said. I glanced over at him and saw a smile on his face. I suddenly didn't want to be alone. Especially with Folken. And what he did, and what I had remembered.
"Yes Folken-sama," Dilandau said, and left the room. I knew what Folken was planing to do and I didn't want it to happen. As soon as Dilandau was out of the room and the door had closed I was alone and I got major Shivered.
"Tora, how nice to see you couldn't handle that pain," He said, and took off his cloak.
"Don't you dare come near me," I said, and sat up. He smiled and started walking towards me. I scrambled up and onto the other side of the bed.
"I'm not going to hurt you Tora," He said.
"That's almost as true as if I was to tell you I had a crush on Van," I said. He smiled and sat down on a chair. By moving around I had made the drug work a little longer. I lost all the strength I had, and collapsed. Folken laughed and came, picked me up, and placed me on the bed.
"Come on Tora, it's time for some fun," He said, and closed in. I didn't know why he liked me or why he was doing this to me, but I knew that I didn't want him to do it.
"Agh! Stop! Leave me alone!" I yelled, and tried to push him away. I kicked and thrashed and was able to stop him from touching me at all.
"Folken?" I heard someone ask. Folken snapped up and I looked to see Dilandau.
"I never thought I would be happy to see you," I said, and slid out from under him.
"Oh thanks," he said. "Just get over here," He said, and I gladly ran over to his protection. I didn't know why he would, why he didn't just let Folken go on, but I was ready to do anything for him right there.
"Dilandau, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"I was walking past and I heard her," He said jerking a thumb towards me.
"Your actually coming to help me?" I asked in a sarcastic voice.
"I can always pretend that I never heard anything and just leave," Dilandau said.
"No! No, that's okay," I said, and stayed behind him.
"Actually that wouldn't be such a bad idea Dilandau," Folken said, and added, "Now hand her over."
"Folken-sama, Tora is specially for tests and a lure," He said. "The emperor would not approve of what you're doing," He said. Folken glared at him, and finally waved his hand dismissing us. I sighed in relief, and Dilandau led me out of the room.
"Um, Dilandau," I asked while we were walking. "Why did you help me? You could have easily walked out and pretended not to hear anything," I asked glancing over at him, and noticed he had a slight blush to his cheeks.
"We'll just say that you owe me one," He said. "But just because I helped you that doesn't mean that you're not going back to your cell," He added, and opened the cell door.
"No kidding," I said. He closed the door and locked it. He had started walking away when I called out. "Hey Dilandau, uh, thanks," I said, and Turned around. If he had seen me he would have noticed how much I was blushing. "And um, how am I supposed to pay you back?" I asked.
"You can tell me about the tests," He said, and came back. I kinda flinched at the thought and memory of them. "What happened in the first one?"
"Well, it....it made me think and see things that I didn't want to. Like my best friend dying, and my family being burned, and... it was awful," I said. "But you wouldn't understand that," I said, and looked up at him. His face was hard and cold.
"What about the other one?" He asked.
"You're just wanting to know if you could handle it right?" I asked. He glared at me and I averted my eyes from his. I don't think that I would have been able to handle looking at his face right then. After what I had seen what I had and it being what I had cried the most about. "You wouldn't, after all, you haven't been through all the things that I have," I said, and lied down.
"You have no idea what I've had to deal with," he said, and walked out. I felt bad that I had to be as cold as he had, but what choice did I have? I heard his foot steps stop, and turn, and walk out again.
"You really wouldn't have," I said. I was asleep soon and I had the bad dreams started. What bad dreams you ask? Well, you'll just have to wait till I write the next part.
I woke up and tried to stand as soon as my eyes opened. I knew I was in a room with two guys that were mentally ill, and I didn't want to be there. But as soon as I was off the bed I swayed and fell forwards into someone's arms.
"Folken, she woke up earlier then we thought, but she can't stand," He said. I didn't know who it was, but I knew that I didn't want to be held by them. I tried to push them away and once they weren't holding me anymore my legs buckled and I landed on the floor very hard.

I didn't even have a chance to blink! He was like a cheetah or something. Holding me down on the cold floor of Folkens room I tried to get up but Dilandau was too strong and I was still tired.
"Let me up! Get someone else for your dumb experiments!" I yelled and tried to push him up off of me. But like I said, I was still tired. "Why don't they use you? Your messed up as it is!" I yelled and tried kicking him off my body.
"Hmph, they need a sane mind to start with, but don't ask me why they're using you," he said, and Punched me.
"Agh, abuse won't stop me!" I said and Folken was now at the foot of the bed, almost 7 feet away. Maybe less. Dilandau punched me again and put his forearm along my neck, choking me.

It hurt so much, I couldn't believe that anything would hurt so much. It was like my body was being inflamed from the inside out and it was like all my organs were being melted.

"Um, Dilandau," I asked while we were walking. "Why did you help me? You could have easily walked out and pretended not to hear anything," I asked glancing over at him, and noticed he had a slight blush to his cheeks.
"We'll just say that you owe me one," He said. "But just because I helped you that doesn't mean that you're not going back to your cell," He added, and opened the cell door.
"No kidding," I said. He closed the door and locked it. He had started walking away when I called out. "Hey Dilandau, uh, thanks," I said, and Turned around. If he had seen me he would have noticed how much I was blushing. "And um, how am I supposed to pay you back?" I asked.
"You can tell me about the tests," He said, and came back. I kinda flinched at the thought and memory of them. "What happened in the first one?"
"Well, it....it made me think and see things that I didn't want to. Like my best friend dying, and my family being burned, and... it was awful," I said. "But you wouldn't understand that," I said, and looked up at him. His face was hard and cold.
"What about the other one?" He asked.
"You're just wanting to know if you could handle it right?" I asked. He glared at me and I averted my eyes from his. I don't think that I would have been able to handle looking at his face right then. After what I had seen what I had and it being what I had cried the most about. "You wouldn't, after all, you haven't been through all the things that I have," I said, and lied down.
"You have no idea what I've had to deal with," he said, and walked out. I felt bad that I had to be as cold as he had, but what choice did I have? I heard his foot steps stop, and turn, and walk out again.
"You really wouldn't have," I said. I was asleep soon and I had the bad dreams started. What bad dreams you ask? Well, you'll just have to wait till I write the next part.
