Chapter 2

He felt he go limp, but steady shallow breathing indicated that she was still alive, but had fallen asleep from exchustion. He held her close, as if trying to protect her, but from what? He had no idea what these people, if thats what you could call them wanted. What signifiance could they hold.



Images ran through his mind of how it all happened. He remembered that he was walking to school, and how she teased him on the way. They where about half way there, when a black van pulled up, and tried to pull them in. He remembered how she fought them off, grabbing him by the arm and ran for school. But their pursuers never gave up, and hunted them down like animals. They not far left to run, when the lights went out. Knowing now that they'd used tranquiliters, to knock them out. Because the next thing he could remember was waking up in this forsaken room. Seeing her curled up in the courner, with a look he thought he would never see on her face. It was a look of complete and utter fear.

A shudder swept across his body. Which caused the sleeping girl in his arms to speak in her sleep.

"Five more minutes please Misato" Misato, a smile found its way inside. He knew that at least one person on this planet would be looking for them. He could imagine her face, when she finds out that section two weren't doing there job. In a sad way it brought him some comfort. But what gave him the most comfort, was having her in his arms, at leat she was with him right now.

Loud footsteps aroused him from his sleep. The footsteps where comming closer to the door. Panic swept through his mind. Looking down at the girl in his arms.He knew she couldn't withstand another round of whatever they had instore. So laying her down on the straw bed. He stept forward somehow finding the courage to take brunt of what they had in store. He could feel his body trembling. As the door opened infront of him. A tall dark man stood infront of him. though he couldn't quite make out the mans face.

"Come with me" The man demanded, something in the man's voice told him that it would be better to obay than to argue. Taking one look back at the reason he was doing this, before stepping forward.

"Please sit down" the man jestered towards a quite menasing looking chair. As he took his seat the man continued. "Well Mr Shinji Ikari, as you know we spoke to your friend yesterday, May I ask have you spoken to her yet?"

"No She hasn't said a word" the man thought about this for a moment.

"Well let me put this simply, you can answer my questions. Or you can do it the hard way, like you friend did. I'm sure you heard how uncomfortable we can make you." Sounds of her screams filled his mind, but he didn't move a muscle, not wanting to give away his feelings. "I take it that we have an understanding" Silence just filled the room.

"Shall we begin. Tell me what you know about NERV?"

"It's an organisation that was set-up after the second impact to defeat the angels" The man smiled seaming pleased that the boy was co-operating.

"Good, thats good. You're the pilot of Unit one aren't you?" The boy just nodded in conformation. "And you are Commander Ikari's son" again the boy just nodded. "Then tell me what's has your father got planned for Unit one and his humanity project?"

"I have no idea what your talking about I've no idea what this project is"

"Really then perhaps can tell me what's so special about Unit one"

"Nothing it's just an Eva. Unit two is the production model don't you want to know about that" The man seamed to be getting angry, about the lack on information he was getting. The man walked up to the boy and placed a vertual headset over his eyes. Images of people he knew, Misato, Hikari, Rei, Toji,Kensuke, flashed before his eyes.

"We know where these people live, we are also aware how important to you they are. If you don't tell us what we want to know. Then these people will start to die, untill we find out what we want" He couldn't stand it no matter what he was going to say people would start loosing their eyes.

"I don't know" Another set of picture now flashed before his eyes. Picture that showed his friends, dead with their throats cut or with gunshot wounds.

"Tell me what is special about Unit one, or we'll be forced to make this happen" Terror now showed in his voice.

"I don't know anything about Unit one, just how to pilot it" More images came into view, of children, women, and men. he had no idea of who they where, but they where shown in similar situations as his friends. He could feel the tears form in his eyes.

"Please stop I've told you all I know. I don't know anything my father has always kept me in the dark. But images were there flashing before his eyes.

It felt like hours, no matter how much he pleaded with them to stop. The images just kept on comming. Slowly draining his energy.

"I don't know please stop, please." As if his prayer where answered the images stopped. And the visor was removed. No more words were exchanged. Somehow finding the strength in his legs, he was lead back to his cell.

When he returned to his cell he was tried and exchusted. He fell to his knees, once the door was locked again.

"Shinji are you ok?" She ran to his side covering both of them with the blanket.

"I'm ok Asuka. I just need to rest" With that he laid down on the straw bed. Asuka looked on.

Author's notes For those reading my other story Finding one in many do not fear I haven't abandoned it, I've just had a few ideas for other fics, and I wanted to start writing them. So keep your eye out for them. Any way you maybe wondering why I used visual torture, well these two are pritty messed up in the head really when you actually thinking about it. So a method of torture that got inside their mind was going to be more effective I thought which is why I used it.

All comment are welcomed on this as i really need to know what you think so I know where to take this story. Anonymous comments welcomed.
