Title: X's and O's

CHAPTER 8

Slade lifted Ria off the ground and flung her, back against the wall of the cave. His hand around her throat, he squeezed slowly.

"Since your betrayal, Ria, I have waited for this moment." –Slade, "But maybe I should let your 'lover' finish you off." Slade dropped Ria into a chair as Red X began to tie her down.

"You think this can hold me!" –Ria croaked as she tried to phase through the restraints. "What is this?"

"You are unable to escape because the metal that holds you has been specially designed in order to hold you." –Slade.

"What are you going to do to me?" –Ria.

"You'll see…" –Slade handed Red X something that glinted in the faint light.

Oooooo… another cliffhanger! I bet you all are going to kill me if I do one more of these, right? Please don't! Then you won't find out how this story ends! Reviews would be nice! Thanks to all my fans! I love you! (Not in a bad way, of course…)
