Chapter 7 – Creature of the Night
Big Guy and Will typed furiously at the keyboard, answering the questions as fast as they could.
With Kate being wounded, and Nikola being an ass, it wasn't going to be too long before someone ended up dead.
Will was determined not to let that happen.
Will kept his hands poised over the keyboard while Big Guy read the question and answered it.
He typed in another answer, listened for the 'Correct!' and instead he heard a hidden door slide open.
"Oh thank god!" said Henry; Big Guy rushed in to help him with Kate.
"Oww! Watch the paws Behemoth!" cried Kate as Big Guy scooped her up.
"I thought we were going to be trapped in there forever!" Henry looked at Will who was eyeing the monitor room carefully, looking for anything suspicious.
"Where do we go?" asked Henry.
"Forward, it's the only way we can go," said Will he smirked as he saw something protruding from the wall.
He reached over and grabbed it stuffing it inside his pocket before joining the rest of them inside the room, the door closing behind them.
"So we're trapped again?" Henry stared at Will confused.
"Not for long," Will smirked even wider at the three of them.
Nikola joined Helen on the floor.
After the weapons had sunk back into the wall, a choking sauna-like heat replaced them in the room, making everything hot, wet and clingy.
Helen found it harder to breath by the moment, especially since Nikola standing in his gold shorts, all sweaty, was messing with her mind a little.
"Don't you just love the heat?" he smirked sardonically.
"It could be worse, it could be freezing," shrugged Helen.
"But then we could combine our forces together and keep warm, it would be halfway tolerable compared to this!" he winked and walked his fingers down her thigh.
She didn't flinch, the heat made her too sluggish to do anything.
"As I said, it could be worse," she chuckled weakly.
"You jest, but don't tell me you don't like the idea," he smirked smugly and took his hand back.
"Can we talk about something else for five minutes?" she sighed.
"Fine, you can keep telling me about this movie, if you like, so they reach the castle, meet the creeper staff and the horribly attired party-goers, sing a little, then out comes Dr. Frank-N-Freaky, who shows them to his little boytoy creation…"
"…which is you," Helen pointed out with a smirk.
"Yes, I'm assuming he roots for the other team then," Helen gives him a funny look.
"Seriously Nikola, you have to stop picking up vernacular from Henry, it doesn't suit you," she rolled her eyes.
"Just answer the question and stop nitpicking about how I word it," he bit sarcastically.
"Frank-N-Furter is a sex-crazed maniac, most likely omnisexual, Rocky Horror was just his idea of the ideal mate, but he will do anyone of any age, sex, creed, or culture, sex is his prerogative, that's why he dresses like he does, acts like he does, and why people like him, is this really important for you to know?" she huffs at him.
"And what about your character, she's with that tool, Brad, he reminds me of a certain tall fellow, just with, you know, hair…" Nikola completely ignored her question.
"What's your point?" Helen glared at him, he always had to bring John into this, it was unbelievable.
"Well, Janet's so quiet and reserved, and she is stuck with a chauvinist sexist like that, I mean she can't be very happy," he looked at her with a hint of a smile on his lips.
"You never know, she might be quite content to have a strong, protective man at her side…"
"You never were, which makes me wonder why you chose to dress as that certain character, you could've easily been the Magenta character, which would've been a lot less revealing, you could've even dressed like a female criminologist, but you decided to bare all, and come in the bra and slip, why?"
"Nikola, this is highly…"
"Just tell me what is so interesting about this character!" he poked at her.
"Nothing! She does nothing! Aside from seducing Rocky in the Third Act, she is completely irrelevant," Helen suddenly realized what she said as Nikola's eyes widened.
"Really?" his smirk widens as well into a devious smile.
"Don't you dare…"
"My, my, Helen, I am not the only one thinking lewd and sexually depraved thoughts in this room!"
"You are completely arrogant to think that I dressed you in that and me in this just to seduce you," she glared at him.
"It's clever, I didn't even see it coming; you are a sly one Helen Magnus, very sly…"
"Will you get over yourself, this is neither the time or the place!"
Helen stood up, creating some distance between them, Nikola just followed behind her putting his hands on her waist.
Helen jumped and turned to hit him but was stopped by his lips crashing into hers.
She moaned lightly, involuntarily, the heat of the room and his passion driving her temporarily loco.
She shook her head out of the moment of ecstacy and she kicked him in the leg.
He limped slightly.
"Oh you tease!" Nikola rubbed his leg.
"This is not the time for this!" she growled and turned away from him
I was feeling done in
Couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before…
Helen wanted to kick herself as the song hit her ears.
"Oh god no…please no…" she muttered under her breath.
She turned and Nikola stood there, in his gold shorts, with a huge grin on his face.
"Seems like fate is on my side," Nikola stepped closer to her carefully.
"All the more reason why we shouldn't do it Nikola, the sick freak running this operation may be watching," she stretched her hands to stop him from coming closer. They touched his bare chest and she suddenly felt butterflies in her stomach, and it took her a moment to realize she was tracing the lines on his chest.
She dropped her hand suddenly.
Nikola just smirked wider.
I thought there's no use getting
Into heavy petting
It only leads to trouble
And seat wetting…
Nikola stepped even closer, their bodies almost touching, and Helen's heartbeat ran faster.
She was blaming it on the heat, and the music, and Nikola…all their fault, they were working in conjunction, but damn his shorts looked good on him.
Helen looked at Nikola's lips, they were about to open and say something about how much she wants him, or something equally as obscene.
Before he could utter a syllable she closed the gap between them and wrapped her arms around his neck, kssing him strongly.
He squeaked in surprise but kissed her back, his hands happily finding their way around her waist.
Now all I want to know
Is how to go
I've tasted blood and I want more…
"More…more…more…" Helen mumbled as she pushed Nikola to the wall, this time pinning him under her weight.
I'll put up no resistance
I want to stay the distance…
Helen felt Nikola's hands playing with the strap on her bra.
Her own hands crawled into his dark spikes, making them even more wild and unruly than they usually are.
Nikola took the opportunity to spin them around so she was against the wall, why his mouth was on her neck, and her leg entwining around his thigh.
I've got an itch to scratch
I need assistance…
A part of Helen wanted to stop and continue working, but another part of Helen, who had stayed quiet for far too long overpowered it, wanting to finally give in to this man's teasing, and kisses, and just go along with it.
Nikola was both gentle and rampant, wanting to enjoy every touch, feeling and kiss he could get out of this before Helen came to her senses and killed him.
At least he'd die happy.
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night…
Will took out the object he had removed from the other room.
It was a garage door opener, and if he was right, it was remote activated, and how this guy was controlling all the doors in this mad place.
"What's that?" asked Henry.
"Hopefully our key to getting out of this place…here Henry, go play," he handed the device to Henry.
"Sweet!" he took it and fiddled with it.
"We need to get Magnus and Tesla out of here before she kills him," Will turned to Big Guy and Kate who nodded in agreement.
Henry exclaimed happily when a small beep resounded.
"Aha! Success!" he smiled proudly.
"Good work Henry!" said Will as the door slid open into the next compartment.
They came up to the next series of monitors, this time only two, one was blacked out and the other showing the main auditorium.
The movie was playing still, but they couldn't hear the soundtrack.
Big Guy gently put Kate down and went up to one of the walls.
"Guhhh, listen!"
He waved them over.
"What is it Big Guy?" asked Will.
"Ughh…music!" He grabbed Will and Henry's heads and pushed it against the wall gruffly.
Behind the wall they heard music, definitely music…
And that's just one small fraction
Of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand
And I need action
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night…
"Poor Doc, she's stuck in there, with Nikola, and that song…" Henry shook his head. Helen has probably already shot herself.
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me…
Helen couldn't believe it, she had herself entwined around Nikola's body, letting him take her. She would kick herself if she wasn't enjoying herself so much, again she blames it on the heat…or maybe nubbins…
Either way, nothing was stopping her from kissing his elated face.
A part of her wished she had worn more clothes, it would've made it more difficult for him; of course he had done away with them easily.
Maybe she could blame this entire incident on heat stroke, though Nikola would hold it against her for the rest of her life anyways.
She finally let it go, and enjoyed the ride.
…maybe he had finally broken through her defenses, like he said he would…maybe she really wanted him like this…he was so going to pay for this if they got out of here…
"Creature of the night…" she whispered into his ear and he chuckled dryly as they fell to the floor together in a tangled mass of limbs.
