Chapter 5: Escaping into Evil's Arms

WHAM! Kazejin forced her tied wrists up, hitting Malik squarely in the chin. She leapt up as he staggered back, holding his head. She hit him again with her hands, this time, aiming for his head. Kazejin then fled. She heard him hit the bed, and knew she had knocked him out.

I guess playing with the boys in the courtyard as a kid helps, she thought, smiling. And, I guess my sister and her slut tricks came in handy, too. Good thing I've witnessed her little flirtations many, many times.

She glided across the polished gold floor, reaching the large, gilded door. She turned the knob, hands still tied, but it was locked.

"Crap!" she yelled frustrated, then glanced back at Malik nervously. She had to get out of the room before he woke up; she knew she had hit him hard, but he would come to in a few minutes. Kazejin glanced around, looking for a way to escape. She wanted to untie her hands first, but she didn't want to waste time, in case Malik awakened.

Kazejin continued to look for an exit. She noted the windows on either side of the bed, the linen curtains billowing in the breeze. It was her best bet. Carefully, Kazejin stepped out onto the wide ledge. She silently thanked Ra for its berth; after all, Malik's room was on the fourth floor, and the fall would be extremely nasty, especially with her bound hands.

Now what? Kazejin asked herself. Damn! I don't even know where the room is! Ra, I just don't think! Kazejin glanced around, and decided to proceed to her left; Malik's room was close to the corner of the palace, so she knew that more rooms were located on the left than the right. I have to find her! The others must be safe somewhere, but not Shizuka. She is too delicate for this. If he… she shuddered as she walked, unable to finish her thought.

A scream erupted from the room adjacent to Malik's. Kazejin ran to the nearest window, and peered in. The man, so like Malik, was on top of Shizuka. She was chained to the headboard, her wrists bound just like Kazejin's, except bound by chains, not ropes. The chains were so tight that blood encircled her wrists. Shizuka was screaming hysterically, but the man smiled, and pressed his lips to hers, muffling her screams.

"Shizuka! No!" Kazejin cried. Instantly, she clapped her tied hands over her mouth, cursing her inability to control herself. There goes my element of surprise, she thought dryly. The man's head snapped up, and he grinned as his eyes landed on Kazejin. Calmly, he got off of Shizuka, who was shaking, and walked over to the window.

"So, this is how my brother punishes you? Puts you on a ledge? I can think of something far better…" he trailed off, and yanked her roughly by her hair through the window. Kazejin screamed in pain, and tears stung her eyes. She was not one to show emotion to anyone who challenged her, but the 

man was actually hurting her. He dragged her, all the way through, and her body hit the golden floor with a thud. She winced, her muscles aching. The man stood over her, his eyes full of malice.

"You escaped, didn't you?" he asked bluntly. "I told my brother you were a firecracker. I knew he wouldn't watch you carefully enough. I wanted you first, anyway; I only chose your innocent friend over here because she is very easy to break. She screams a lot, and is easily put into pain; I like that. The only thing I would like more is someone like you. How long will it take for me to have my way with you? I know you will fight me, and I enjoy the challenge. I wonder…how long before I can make you cry and beg for mercy? I'll find out, right now."

Kazejin stared at him, terrified. Malik was scary, but he only teased her; she didn't think he was sadistic. Unlike Malik, his brother's eyes were blank, and full of cruelty. She could almost feel his evil in his aura. He lunged toward her suddenly, and Kazejin jumped away.

However, she was too slow for this man; he caught her mid jump, and grabbed her foot, pulling hard. Kazejin thought her leg was going to snap off. The man reeled her back in, and pinned her down with his weight. Kazejin felt like he had crushed her whole body in. Shizuka wailed. "Lady Kazejin!" she screeched.

Her tormentor got off of her. "Excuse me, Lady. I have something to take care of before you pleasure me."

Kazejin groaned, knowing she couldn't stand. The man walked over to Shizuka, and picked up a piece of cloth lying on the bed. Humming to himself, he tied it over Shizuka's mouth. It must've been tight; she couldn't hear Shizuka at all.

He turned back to her and laughed. "I always store things in my room, just in case. I knew I would need the gag when dealing with this one; she has the loudest scream of any girl I've ever taken. But you won't scream, will you? No, you're too strong willed for that. I'll make you cry out somehow…" he muttered, more to himself than to her.

He took in a fistful of Kazejin's hair once again, and yanked her to her feet, shoving her against the wall between the bed and the window. Kazejin glanced at Shizuka; she looked sick, and her eyes conveyed terror.

Her captor grabbed her chin. "No, sweet, focus on me," he chuckled, pressing closer. "Don't worry about your friend. She'll have her turn when I'm done with you." He pulled back, and stared at her. "Though, it might take awhile…"

"Stop!" Kazejin whispered. "Not in front of her…please…I'll do everything you ask in your bed, just release her! Don't let her see this!"

"Sorry, little girl. I have two beautiful women in my room, and I'm not about to let this opportunity disappear." He wrapped his hand around her neck, roughly, and pressed his lips to hers. Kazejin struggled; the man wasn't going to either one of them go, so she wasn't about to make it easy 

for him to take her. She felt his tongue lap her mouth as he tried to pry her mouth open. Kazejin fought back, and bit down on his tongue, hard.

"Bitch!" he screamed, moving away from her slightly. Kazejin swung her tied arms wildly, hitting his shoulder. She ran to the headboard, identical to the one in Malik's room, and began furiously working at her ropes. She couldn't save Shizuka unless she was free first. The man recovered, and grabbed her around her waist, throwing her back. She kicked, missing several times, until finally hitting him in the groin. He yelped in pain, and twisted her shoulder back, throwing her onto the bed, lying across Shizuka.

"No one touches me like that!" he hissed. "You will pay. I am going to beat you first, and then, when you are in so much pain you can barely breathe, I will screw you senseless. This shall be painful, and slow." He raised his fist, and punched Kazejin hard across her face. Kazejin was dizzy after the first shot, but he continued to hit her. After a while, she couldn't feel anything. Blood trickled from her upper brow, and she knew her entire right eye was bruised. She felt him lean down suddenly bite her lips hard. The taste of her own blood filled her mouth.

"How does it feel?" he whispered. "Now you know what I felt when you bit me, you piece of filth! Are you scared now?! If you beg me to stop I might spare your life…" he paused, waiting for her answer.

Instead, Kazejin pushed her head up, trying to butt him away. She failed, of course, and was struck yet again. With a sigh, she collapsed down, and turned her head to glance at Shizuka. "I-I'm sorry, Shizuka…I can't f-fight."

She turned back to the evil man, her eyes still full of strength. "I'll n-never beg for mercy. R-Ra condemns you…kill me if you wish." With that, Kazejin fell silent. Her tormentor raised his hand again, and Kazejin squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for the blow she knew she wouldn't feel.
