Running, that was all Saya was doing. She was running, she didn't know from what and the pain in her ribs told her to stop. However, she didn't stop running. She kept running, what was she running from? Carl, no, deep down she felt like she was running from herself. Running away from her heart so she was nothing and would feel nothing. That wasn't impossible though, the memories she recalled from her rape made her feel hollow and dirty.
Nonetheless, she would not go back to Carl. Never, if Carl were to come and get her, she'd let him do what he wishes and then run more. She'd let him hollow her until she was nothing, until she wanted to die. Until she could see her reflection in a crimson pool beneath, her petite body in Carl's arms saying piteously that she wants to die.
Death, would be the only option to escape him. Unless, she could kill him. But, was that possible?
"What?!"Kai shouted at Solomon.
"You knew all this time and never told us?! Carl could be emotionally hurting her, beating her, and worst of all, raping her! Do you know what could happen to Saya?!" Kai shouted and shook Solomon fiercely, Kai was in rather good shape for a man in his fifties and looked a few years younger than his true age. Solomon softly removed Kai's hands from his shirt collar and looked at him.
"Saya told me never to tell, as her Chevalier I am bound to her wishes. But, as her Chevalier, I must make sure she is well. And, until now, I have kept that secret by Saya's will to live. Only to break it keep her safe," Solomon said.
"Wha-what do we do then?" Getsuei asked, stroking Saya's hair away from her relaxed and expressionless face. Not even her eyes quivered, her breathing was silent, and her body still. She was weak and no longer on Earth.
"We monitor her sleep and then we wait, there isn't much we can do," Julia said sadly
Keep running, keeping running until your breath and heart go numb...Until you don't feel pain so you can die without him in your heart!
A force jerked her back, a grasping pressure came over her shoulders and pulled her. The world was in slow motion for a minute, everything blurry and her heart pounding so loud she couldn't tell if she screamed or not. But, when the edge of her shriek came she heard it and Carl was before her, pushing her against a tree and smirking.
"Running, is that all you ever do? You run from Hagi, your family, and everyone else. Even me, the only one who can love you and have had children with," Carl mocked. Saya's eyes suddenly widened a trifle, trembling with shock and confusion.
"Children?" Saya asked. Saya had almost forgotten about the child that Carl killed, and their daughter, Diva, whom he also killed (but miraculously brought to his world), and...and she knew there was another. She once recalled a terrible pain in her womb, like a sharp metallic blade had been sliced through. Had she...what has done to her own children? Was she just as worthy to blame as Carl?
Carl lifted one hand from her shoulders and set it on Saya's face.
"Don't tell me you have forgotten what was only a small while back? Even though you are not fully awake yet I'd still like to try. If you want children I can make it possible in this world," Carl teased, caressing her cheekbone with his thumb.
"No! My womb is dead! I was going to give birth to a beautiful baby girl if your hadn't killed her! Why would I want a piece of you inside me?! Haven't you grown weary of me? Is there something that you haven't stolen?! Take it and leave me be!" Saya screamed at the top of her lungs. Carl chuckled and leaned into her face, his other hand coming to her face.
"Don't you remember that night? The night you killed one of our babies just to protect your worthless Chevalier?" Carl asked disdainfully, Saya didn't respond.
"Remember?!" Carl said aggressively. Glimpses of that night passed through her head
There is blood beneath her, Carl pulled the blade from her stomach and held her; caressing her. Sadness and pity in his eyes, Saya had never seen such emotions in his eyes. He told her she was foolish and that he'd never leave...He kept his vow.
"I-I..."Saya began to say but couldn't finish. Carl chuckled; seeing the fear, will, and affliction reflected in Saya's eyes was absolutely wonderful. Watching his Saya wake up was very pleasant to witness. For instance, that night at the Cinq Fleche Experimentation Farm, Saya gave in to her innate madness and awoke. He was so excited, he was seeing the Saya he loved. The one whom he had loved since the moment he saw her. But, that was so long ago, even if Saya wasn't awake he had to have her with him. That'd way, when she'd fully awaken, she'd belong to him and only him.
"Yes, that's it, Saya. Don't you remember what I told you?" Carl mocked.
Foolish girl. As long as I am here, and as long as you bear my children, I cannot allow your demise.
Saya screamed and grabbed her head, Carl backed away in a disdainful manner and let Saya fall to her knees. She whimpered and wept. She had killed her own child, a child of her and Carl's own flesh and blood. She couldn't remember if she meant to or not but it hurt all the same.
"You're a monster like I am. You are a Chiropteran, destine to kill and hate. No matter how many times you wish to believe that a part of you is human, you are not. You may look human in appearance but inside you're nothing but pure bloodthirsty instinct, pain, hatred, and sadness. Seeing that is the case," Carl said. He walked up to her and cupped her chin, pulling her head up to stare into his face.
"Why not give in, Saya? You were not meant to live in a mortal world. We're different, we're killers; we are compatible. And yet, you insist that you are somehow mortal, despite that everything about you turns your false humanity away. Saya, you have no choice but to live as the monster you are. I'd like you to be the monster next to me, Saya, won't you stay here with me?" Carl asked, leaning into her face to kiss her. Saya pushed him away and growled.
"Fight me and love me all you want, Saya. Enjoy it, savor it, show me that instinct that proves you're a monster!" Carl mocked.
"Stop..." Saya whispered angrily, clutching her head and trembling.
"Just...STOP!" Saya screamed into the sky. Carl pulled her up into his arms and kissed her; Saya eyes shooting open and then closing, a single tear falling from her eyes.
"I will never stop..." Carl whispered, his lips moving to her cheekbone. He breathed into her ear and chuckled. Oh, how he loved to break her and make her live to suffer. He heard Saya whimper and he chuckled in amusement.
"You want more, and I shall give you more. Scream," he mocked, his tongue traveling over her neck, tasting her skin. He sucked at a vein, tasting her blood. Finally, when Saya couldn't take it anymore she pushed him aside and bit him. Saya was drinking his blood, she would drink all of it. However, after a few mouth fulls of the crimson nectar Carl pushed her away and picked her up. Saya punched kicked and screamed but Carl kept her in his arms.
"You would like to kill me, wouldn't you?" he said, setting her down on the ground. They were amid a valley of blue roses. Saya didn't answer, she turned her head aside. Carl moved closer to her and crawled onto her, he wasn't on top of her yet but he was hovering over body like he hadn't been more satisfied with her in his entire life.
"Too bad, this is my world and no one can save you," he said, his lips nearing Saya mouth. Saya moved her head back and attempted to kick him in the stomach. But, Carl was astute and grabbed her knee, forcing her leg down.
"You'll mine to love and torture forever!" Carl exulted evilly. Saya squirmed away from him and ran, only knowing that if Carl could not die than she would have to die.
