Thanks to those of you who reviewed! That made me happy. I got another chapter done. Wow two in a row. It, of course, has nothing to do with me writing this instead of listening to my PreCal or AP Chem teachers today…Anyways I hope you all enjoy this chapter. It's a bit faster and longer than the last one.
"You two are thinking too much," a low unnatural voice cut through Chad's drifting mind. His head snapped up fast enough to slam back against the cold metal wall with a hard thump. He cursed softly under his breath and rubbed at the swelling bump. Slowly, he dragged his eyes up to meet the intruder.
His dark eyes narrowed into slits as they locked with the golden ones above him. "What do you want?" Chad hissed.
"I want Troy, but he seems to be out of service at the moment," the monster said smoothly motioning towards Troy's slumbering form.
Chad gave a low threatening growl and began to push himself to his feet. The beast waved his hand dismissively as if warding off any attack. "Tell me boy, why did he pick you?"
Chad's glare turned cold and he kept his mouth shut. His gaze fell to Troy's small form, he looked fragile.
"Are you two together?" the beast asked with a nasty smirk.
Confusion flashed across Chad's features before realization struck. Chad's mouth fell open and a look of disgust curled his lips. They were friends, but not that way, never that way.
The monster again warded off and words Chad could provide with a wave of his hand. "It seemed to me that he and that girl were close, but I could be wrong." The beast smirked again. "I don't know I was kinda hoping you two were together…That way I could take him from you."
"You're sick," Chad spat.
"Ah, but at least I got the honor of witnessing the horror of his first kill," he continued in a casual voice as if Chad had never said a word. "That beautiful girl he probably loved covered in sweet crimson blood. I still remember my first kill. It's always a girl, isn't it? I kissed mine, sweet and slow, loving almost. And then I bore my fangs and bit through her throat."
Horror flashed over Chad's face and he paled a bit. "You sick bastard!" Chad yelled about ready to take a step forward.
Amusement crossed the beasts face as he leaned towards Chad, "You are aware that I am inside the cell now, right?"
Chad's eyes widened slightly as he took in the monsters looming form. Why hadn't he noticed earlier? Chad stumbled back into the wall and muttered, "Creepy monster."
"Indeed." He purred as he turned his back to Chad and crouched down next to Troy. Chad stayed against the wall and watched cautiously.
"Wake up," the monster demanded with a sharp slap to Troy's cheek. Troy groaned and his face twisted with discomfort. He fumbled to roll away in his sleep.
"Hey!" Chad explained daring a step forward trying to come to his friend's defense.
The monster turned on his heels, still in a low crouch, and let slip a low animalistic growl. His lips peeled back showing row after row of pristine white teeth. The amusement that had previously filled his features had melted away twisting into a primitive look of hate.
Chad's jaw dropped and he stumbled into the wall. He dropped his eyes to the floor and his shoulders sagged with submission.
Once the beast was sure Chad wasn't a threat he turned his attention back to Troy. His smoldering golden eyes warmed and liquefied back to there kind caramel color now that they fell on Troy.
"Come on Troy. I don't want to have to hurt you again," the beast whispered almost kindly. Slowly Troy's eyes opened. He blinked a few times trying to make sense of the world through his blurred vision. Confusion followed immediately by fear flashed through his cool eyes. Troy tried to shrink back into the wall and once he realized he was cornered he began to lash out.
His arms and legs worked franticly for a few seconds before the beast managed to pin him. "Don't make he hurt you," he hissed in Troy's ear.
The voice seemed to trigger something in Troy's mind. His eyes darkened and a cold smirk pulled awkwardly at his lips. "Don't make me hurt you," he mocked in a high pitched voice.
The monsters eyes narrowed to slits. Troy shifted his weight into a sitting position. His eyes shifted a fraction as he took in his surroundings. Over the beasts shoulder he noticed the door to the cell was cracked open. Troy locked eyes with Chad's and held him in a hard stare for a second before shifting his gaze back towards the door pulling Chad's with him. Chad gave a small nod and shrank back into the wall waiting for Troy to make his move.
Troy shifted his weight towards the door and sneered at the monster. The beast noticed his movements towards the door and opened his mouth to lecture him.
Just as his mouth began to drop open Troy struck the monsters jaw. Troy's fist popped and he couldn't hold back the cry of pain as his fist cracked under the force. The beast jaw was like rock.
The beast's eyes flashed as he swung back. His fist caught Troy hard across the temple knocking him to one side. Troy had to fight to stay conscious as stars exploded in his vision and he fell towards the door.
He felt two arms wrap under his arms pulling him to his feet and shoving him out the open door. He couldn't stay on his feet and collapsed to the ground in a heap. Slowly he closed his eyes and willed the world to stop spinning.
The sound of the cage door slamming shut cut through his mind and made him groan in pain.
"Come on," a frantic familiar voice mumbled. Troy forced his mind into focus and was greeted by a hazy version of Chad.
An enraged cry tore from behind them. Troy followed the noise to see the infuriated monster lashing out at the unbending metal bars of his prison.
"Why doesn't he just…" Troy vaguely made a motion of disappearance with his hands.
"I think he's to mad to think of it," Chad mumbled in a low voice as he began to pull Troy to his feet.
Troy stumbled and gripped blindly onto Chad as his vision darkened. Chad grunted as he shouldered most of Troy's weight. He began to move forward, ever aware of the monster behind them.
"Hold on," Troy mumbled as he tried to right his confused feet. The world was spinning and he couldn't focus past the pounding of blood in his temple.
"We have to keep moving. He will get out or call for help soon," Chad said continuing to drag Troy along.
"Fuck," Troy mumbled under his breath as they picked up the pace to a slight jog. He was disoriented and in pain, but they had to keep moving.
"I didn't plan on him whacking the crap out of me," Troy mumbled as they turned yet another corner in the complex maze of empty standard halls.
Chad raised his eyebrows in a skeptical look; Troy had punched the monster first after all.
"Well I wanted him to hit me. It would throw him off balance. I just didn't plan on it hurting so much. I can take a punch but…" Troy simply shrugged and picked up the pace down another blank hall.
"So what's the plan?" Chad asked softly, eyes darting around. He was on edge the way there wasn't any doors, the way no one was around.
"I didn't think we would have successfully got out of the cell," Troy grunted as he tried to shake away the dark spots in his vision.
All of the sudden two monsters appeared in front of them. They slammed to a stop and Chad had to grab onto Troy to keep him from falling. They spun around to go the other way and came face to face with the leader.
The beast reached out and grabbed Troy by the arm ripping him away from Chad. "First rule of engaging the enemy boy's is to plan ahead. Where did you think you could go? You're on a fucking spaceship!"
Troy pulled away from the monster and took a step back closer to Chad. "Second rule, be willing to face the consequences when you get caught."
Let me know what you think!
