A/N: Not a chapter for Gil lovers… I made this story originally for a friend of mine who is fond of horror, so, some more messed up stuff for you! And I finally figured out the page break :D
Disclaimer: Pandora Hearts is not mine!
Oz POV
I had to cut some shark noses open, but I finally got home in mostly one piece. My eye is still bothering me. It could be worse though, he could have shot me through the gills. I might have drowned if he did. Since gills filter water out so I can breathe, having them badly damaged can be trouble. I can't believe my first prey got back to land. I'm not going to give up so easily though.
I can already feel that working on him.
Gil POV
I scream. My chest burns and I'm drowning and the water is turning red. I try to swim up, but it's so dark here that I can't even tell with in way is up. I can feel one of my legs freezing solid, enveloped in ice. A scale-covered, gold fish tail is wrapped around me.
"Mine. You're all mine."
I scream as he licks across my wound. I can feel something etching into my chest. A contract?! B-B-But… what's going on here?!
The pain suddenly stabs me and I can hear that… that Vessalius laughing!
"Mine."
"Wake up Nii-San!" Vincent yells.
The infirmary bed sheets are tangled up around me, except one leg hanging out. I can feel cold sweat coating my body. I can almost feel myself still drowning. My torso is sticky with my own blood, I must have reopened the wound. My eyes are open, but I feel like I'm still in that nightmare.
And my throat is raw but I'm still screaming.
"Calm down! Nii-San calm down!" Vincent screams, shaking me gently. He throws his arms around me until I finally "stop" screaming.
I lost my voice.
"Gil? Nii-San? What's wrong?"
I try to tell him about my dream. My lips move, but no sound comes out.
"Nii-San?!" he gasps. I cough up a little blood. How hard did I scream? And how long for that matter?
He stares at me in concern before realization dawns on him,"You've lost your voice."
I nod at him. He gives me a pitying look and hugs me again. I flinch as he touches my wound. He notices and pulls back. "Sorry. Is that thing bleeding again? I'm sorry Nii-San. I didn't mean to hurt you. Do you need some water? Want me to get the doctor?"
I nod again, at both questions.
"I'll be right back. Gil… please, try not to hurt yourself. It's not real. I promise. So, just stay still, okay?" with that, he leaves.
I'm left alone in the room, hurting in several ways. Has it really all been in my head? It's all seemed so real though.
A gold haired boy seems to come through the door, though I notice there's no click when it shuts. Unlike the mermonster, this one has legs and looks like a human, if a little better than most people.
Vessalius.
Not real. Not real. Not real. Not real.
"You're mine you know," he says nonchalantly, stepping away from the door.
Not real not real not real.
"You can't escape me," he says, walking over and taking his time.
Not real not real.
"You're mine," he says. He comes closer to me, leaning over me.
Not real.
I can feel a finger, a very solid feeling finger, tracing my cheek. The normal, round eyes turn slit like the monster I know he is. "So pretty. Such a shame I have to kill you."
That sharp toothed smile comes back and I feel warm saliva dripping down on me. He's gonna eat me! I give another silent scream and shoot out of bed.
I survived you in the water, there's no way I'm letting you kill me on the land!
I grab one of the many secret guns we have lying around and start to shoot at him. Soon he's full of holes, but he just laughs and keeps walking towards me. It barely registers that the dripping blood disappears upon hitting the ground.
"You don't think a gun will stop me, do you?"
I keep shooting anyways. I hit it through the eye and it stalls, but then it keeps coming. Eventually it catches up to me and before I can run, grabs my worst. It pushes a bloody hand into my wound. I try to scream but of course nothing comes out. I "scream" more from fear than pain.
"You have my blood Gil. We 'monsters' are part chain you know!" it says gleefully. It starts drawing a handless contract on my chest in our blood, giggling the whole time. "There is no escape. I will own you, pretty thing."
No… this isn't real. Go away. I'm not contracted to you! Not real not real not real!
It threads fingers through my hair and kisses my cheek.
"Nii-San!" Vincent calls, voice dripping with concern.
It all disappears in an instant. The hole-filled Vessalius, the fingers in my hair, the hand holding my wrist.
Everything except the blood colored contract.
Oz POV
Oh yes. I can feel my blood in him. I've never given my blood to a human before. I wonder what will happen! One way or another…
I will have him.
