Chapter 9

I woke up to darkness. I groaned and rolled onto my back. I was staring at a weird ceiling. I sat up and gasped. It all came back. I growled. I was in one heck of a bare room, and it was dead silent. I sighed and laid back down.

"How stupid of me..." I whispered to myself. A door to my right opened. Dim light was cast into my room. A cloaked figure walked in.

He closed the door. "Good evening" He greeted. I growled. "Understandable... listen later I will bring your friend by, and your bunny thing." He said. I rose an eyebrow.

"Who are you?"

"A demon, none the less, but I am helping yall escape. Both of your friends were taken too, it will take some time, but I promise I can get off of you out of here..." I looked down at my arm. The cut was still on my arm.

"It's all my fault...we are better as a group..." I growled. A sound at the door scared both of us. The demon looked at me clearly surprised.

"I was never here" He whispered before disappearing into the shadows. The door opened before another cloaked person walked in. Before he closed the door I noticed the other guy zip out the door.

"Hello" He purred. I growled.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Yukito if you must know..." He said clearly annoyed. "Sense I gave this opportunity to your friend, I will give this choice to you too. Either come quietly or get forced into this..." I rose an eyebrow.

"No matter what I am not going quietly." He nodded and walked over.

I rolled backwards and hopped to my feet. He rose an eyebrow. I shrugged. "Figures you would be as quick as us..." He said disappointed. I growled at him. How dare he compare me to him?! "Sad thing is, you still not quite as fast as us"

I blinked at him. Alls I saw was him move slightly to the right and was gone. I felt him behind me and turned around a little too slow. He grabbed my arm and twisting it shoved me to the floor. I landed hard on my back and hissed in pain. He grabbed my arm and used it to flip me over so I was on my stomach.

He straddled my back, wrenching my arms up so my wrists were against the back of my neck. I growled. "Told ya" he said triumphantly.

"get off of me!" I hissed. He laughed.

"I still can't believe you let your friends down, if you would have been there, they wouldn't be here now..." He purred.

"Shut up!" I snapped.

"Mmm just relax and this wont hurt or anything..." I felt one of his hands against my neck. I squirmed. "Shhh". Searing hot pain started where he was before spreading though out my whole body. I screamed as the pain intensified. It felt like it was going to rip me apart.

Soon the pain subsided and I took in a few gulps of air before my vision started to waver. Suddenly it was like I was watching my body do what it wanted; I was like a ghost, just being able to see through my own eyes. I tried to move, but I didn't. I yelped.

"Calm down...your body's under my control now..." I growled and tried to say something, but my mouth didn't move. I fumed as he got up releasing my arms. "Now, sit up" I refused with all my might but my body sat up. "Good, stay here, I will be back for you later"

'WHAT?!' I thought. 'No way, hey get back here!' I screamed in my head, but he left and closed the door. 'dangit'

-

I was on a cold cell when I woke up. I lifted my head to look around. A foot came out of know where and hit my chest. I yelped before coughing. "You're finally awake..." A voice purred.

"yeah..." I forced out. "So why did ya have to kick me?" I looked up to see a cloaked man, his hood was down revealing shoulder length black hair, red eyes, and two horns. I shuddered. When I tired to sit up I realized my hands were bound behind my back.

The guy placed his foot lightly on my neck. I growled at him. He pressed the shoe onto my neck. "Listen, I want you dead...if I can get away with it, I will kill you right here, right now" He hissed.

"That makes two of us" I choked out. He growled at me before removing his foot and once again kicking me very hard. I coughed and glared at him.

"Hey!" a guy called from the door way. "Bring him in!" He looked way too happy to relay that message.

"looks like the time has come" The guy purred before grabbing my bound hands and pulling me to my feet.

"Get your hands off of me!" I hissed. He just smirked at me before dragging me though the door and across the hall. If only I had my hands free...

A door opened showing a bare room before I was shoved in. Hands still bound behind my back, I lost balance and slid along the concrete floor. I hissed in pain and watched as the door slammed shut, sending the room into darkness. I growled and sat up. My eyes adjusted quick enough to the little light that was in there.

Nothing much was in the room, it was truly bare. A door opposite of the one I was thrown in was opened. A cloaked person walked in. I growled, the person just laughed. "Do you not remember me?" It purred. Of course I didn't, I had never heard one of these things talk before.

"Well no matter if you do or not... I have something to show you..." He walked over to a wall and lit a torch. I winced at the sudden light. "Come in here if you will" He said towards the door. Someone looking a lot like Eva slid into the room. She wore fitting black jeans and a black hoodie, with her hair down for once. As she got closer to me I could see she wasn't the Eva I knew. Here eyes were no longer red, they were clouded and silver.

"I bet you remember her...she's on our side now..." He purred closing to door and coming to stand beside Eva. "Ain't she pretty?" I hissed. He kneeled in front of me.

"Get away from me..." I growled. The guy stood and walked behind me before grabbing my bound wrists and forcing me to my feet. He dragged me over to something underneath the torch. I don't know why I never saw what was under it. It looked like a chin up bar, only lower.

It probably came up to mid back, but I could only guess for a second before he pushed me up against it. I growled at him, and took a quick look at Eva. She looked way too happy. The guy forced my hands up and over the bar before tying my arms to the poll so that my arms were behind the bar and I was in front of it. He then untied my hands, just not my arms.

"this won't hurt too much..." He purred. "Eva darling..." He said looking at her, she nodded before sliding forward. She grinned at me. I did not like how she was looking at me, it was like she was planning on devouring me.

"Wait, where's Mana?" I asked suddenly.

"I wouldn't worry about her, I would worry more about what's about to happen to you..." He purred before disappearing out the door for a while. The room silenced. Eva skimmed about the room, happy with just waiting.

"What the hell did they do to you?" I asked her softly. She looked at me and grinned before she continued moving.

The guy returned into the room carrying something. It looked like a big black case. He set it on the floor somewhere in front of me and opened it. The silver caught the fire light and I winced. Thousands of different kinds of knifes, needles and such sat in that little black case.

"ok, so you're going to torture me..." I stated. The guy nodded. "May I ask why?" He looked up at me.

"because I can" I don't think that should ever count as an answer. He picked up a really long and skinny knife and stood up, placing the tip of the blade against my shoulder. "Besides, it's always fun to watch someone bleed" He swiped the blade across my shoulder real quick. I hissed as blood rose to the surface of the skin.

Eva licked her lips. "You can have him when I am done dear" The guy said back to her, she nodded. I was desperately hoping right now that I would escape alive.

The torture continued, my mind was divided, part wanting to escape, another dealing with the pain and another stuck on why Eva was acting the way she was. The guy, or as I learned his name was Yukito, was having way too much fun with this. I wasn't sure how much blood I had lost already, but it was starting to form a small puddle on the floor underneath me.

Yukito placed a longer knife against my side. I winced and tried to squirm out of the way. He pressed the blade into my side and agonizingly slow, pulled it back toward himself. I hissed and I could almost feel my skin parting. As the blade left my flesh I gasped, that hurt, more than anything he had done yet. And he did it twice more on the same side.

"Well it's been fun, but I think Eva is hungry..." He placed the knife against my neck.

-

This whole time I was fighting for control over my own body, but when I saw him lay that knife on his neck, something just snapped. Suddenly my sight cleared and I almost yelped at the bloody sight of Sereg. "Wait!" I finally choked out. Yukito looked at me. "You can't" I hissed. He realized what had happened and pointed the knife at me.

"I can too, wanna watch?" He hissed. I leapt at him, hitting his chest and knocking him to the floor. I sat on his chest, pinning his arms to his sides.

"No, I don't" I grabbed his head and bringing it up a bit, slammed it into the concrete. He didn't move after that. I got up and walked over to Sereg. His head was hung and blood dripped off of him at a constant rate. "Sereg?" I asked. He lifted his head and looked at me with one eye, the other closed with blood.

"hey, welcome back" He smiled. I smiled slightly. Stepping over the metal bar I went behind him.

"Think you can fall back?" I asked. He shook his head. I sighed before walking back around. I cut loose one arm and brought it back over the bar. "Ok, think you can stand?" He shrugged. I rolled my eyes before cutting the other one. He stood for a short bit before collapsing to his knees. "Whoa! You ok?" I asked slightly crouched.

"Yeah I am fine..." He looked up at me and smiled. I dropped to my knees. "How do you feel?" He asked.

"I should be asking you that..." I stated. He shrugged before sitting up straighter. I ran a hand though his hair, just to tick him off. He glared at me. He placed his hands on my shoulders. I gave him a quizzical look. He just smiled before closing the distance between us. Heat crept onto my cheeks. He broke the kiss and smiled at me.

"Thanks, for coming back into reality and saving me" He said. My blush deepened.

The door slammed open making us both jump. The guy from earlier stood in the door way. "You might want to get up and run...now..." He panted. "You just freaked the hell out of everyone in here. Nami is running around killing people, I can't find your friend, and this whole place is about to go up in flames!" He yelped.

I pointed at Sereg before saying, "Ya think HE can run?" I asked. The guy glared at me before running over.

"ya mind getting on my back?" He asked. Sereg shrugged, he looked like he was about to fall asleep anyway. After he picked up Sereg we ran out of the room, barley avoiding getting run over by a fleeing demon.

"jeez... chaos!" I yelped. He just nodded.
