Chapter 2 - Welcome the Insane One
A/N - Yes, the last chapter was dark, dirty, and a bit out there. Ok, it was flat out insane, yes? But then, what did you expect given the title? Hope you liked the last one, it only gets worse from here on out. Enjoy (or not). Just have fun, and don't kill me. Seriously. I have enough problems. Like having to write for the Insane One. Who is like me. Only insane. But I'm insane. So he is like me.
Uh, moving on. Enjoy.
"Uughlf," moaned Isaac, his head spinning as his eyes tried to focus. Odd how that hitting his head could cause his vision to blur in a rainbow mix of colors. An array of colors that Isaac had not seen since he tried that "spice cake" at Xiam.
Abruptly, the thought of Xiam snapped him from disoreintation, and brought him to the present.
A present that he wished he had not seen.
Stripped of his clothes, Isaac was laying against a stone slab in what looked like a cave, his arms tied out away from his body and his legs tied together. His efforts to pull free, either on his own or with his psynergy, fell to futility. Remembering what had happened before he was knocked out of it, Isaac began to look for Mia, only to find that he was alone in the cave. Upon further inspection, the "cave" was apparently a small alcove dug out of a larger section, almost as if someone had dug this room for the very purpose of keeping someone against the wall. The rectangular slab he was tied against confirmed that much.
But why was his psynergy not working?
"Why indeed, my precious foe; why indeed?"
Dread filled Isaac's mind, horror of what Alex would do to him, Mia, and his son.
My son. More dread filled Isaac, and the realization of what had slammed him down the stairs in the first place covered his face in horror, realizing that Alex had probably already killed his son. Fighting tears, he tried again to break free, hoping to find Mia alive and well.
"Mia is alive, alive she is, my blonde prey. Though the same may not be said of you. No, you hold something, something that drives me mad, mad. Maybe I should just kill you and take it. But maybe it is living within you and killing you would kill it, nonono, killing is not right. Maybe if-"
"Show yourself Alex," Isaac demanded, hoping the fear he had did not show in his voice.
"Why, you cannot see me? Have you tried looking up, above?"
Swallowing, Isaac did look up, and nearly lost his senses when he saw what clung to the walls above. How the creature above him clung to the wall and did not fall, Isaac would never know; His eyes were dark and red, almost like an animal. His hair was short and frazzled, matching his ratted and pathetic clothing. But however odd he looked, the creature simply looked crazed, disturbed.
Not exactly what one would want to see in a dim room while chained to a wall without clothes.
Isaac barely was able to find his voice as Alex dropped before him, crouching like a wild animal eyeing a prey. "W-w-what do you want?" Mentally, he kicked himself, knowing that to be a mildy pointless question; apparently, Alex was far too far gone for coherent thought.
A sharp pain sliced through Isaac's chest as Alex dug razor sharp claws into his skin, Isaac finding himself unable to breathe. After what seemed like hours on hours of pain, Alex released him, and all Isaac could do was wheeze, trying to breathe. So maybe Alex was not as dumb as-
Oh second thought, maybe that thought should not be completed.
"Very good, my friend. It took only the loss of breath to convince you to shut up and obey your superior. Don't even try to think otherwise, my muscular foe. For all your strenght and intelligence, you cannot grasp the concept that I have you right where I want you, right where you will submit to me." A wide grin fell on Alex's already insane features, and the sight of his teeth only made him look more sinister.
"What do you want?"
"Oh, please, you pathetic drone. Mia is no longer your conscern, so get it out of your head. Don't look at me that way!" Alex punched Isaac in the gut, followed by backhanding the Venusian's face. "You don't seem to realize yet that I hear every thought you make, feel every little, teensy, tiny," Alex put his face mere breaths from Isaac's, "wittle, bittle, thing you feel." Alex smiled, bearing his teeth again. Before Isaac could even think, Alex sank his teeth into his neck, leaving Isaac wailing in pain.
Alex released his grin, licking the blood from his lips. "Mmm, tasty. Now I know why that bitch wanted to make brats with you, you weak fool; you are as weak as her." Alex licked his lips again, his smile, one again, beat out his prior one, this time with blood dribbling down his face. "In time, I will know how to extract what I need from you. And in time, you will acknowlege me as your superior and master. And maybe, just maybe," Alex turned to walk out, turning over his shoulder to stare at Isaac, winking, "maybe I might think of releasing you. Have fun." He moved to walk on, mumbling as he left:
"And no food for you until you submit. No, no food, no need to waste any precous goods on him. If he submits, maybe, but no need to waste. Mabye I will find food later. No, food not important..."
Isaac never heard the rest, becoming too dizzy from the loss of blood.
And the loss of Mia.
End of Chapter 2
OOOOOOOOKaay, now. More sadistic and dark than I originally planned. Hey, don't give me that look! At least I didn't suggest anything sexual between the two! Sheez!
Oh, that reminds me, expect some light shonen-ai (I THINK that's how you spell that) between Alex and a non-Isaac character coming up. Oh, and if you wonder about Mia, I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
And with that, I must flee before people decide that I am too demented and crazed to be left alive.
