Sorry it took so long for me to upload. I've been working on a new fanfic for "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" ("When They Cry") and I've become addicted to an online game called "Perfect World". Seriously, I'm wasting half my life to this game. I can't help it. It's so awesome 3
Anyways, here is chapter 15. I've already started writing on chapter 16, so I don't think that one will take so long.
Thank you for your patience and please enjoy! ^^
"Boss, are you alright?!" asked the guard as Alexio came out of the torture chamber, his hand covering his face. But as he got closer, he saw the insane grin on his boss' face. "Boss?" Even the tall, broad shouldered man got the creeps of this 60-year-old man.
"This is perfect," whispered Alexio. He looked at the tall, confused looking man. "This is so… perfect!" he said. "I can… use those mutants to… I can…" He burst out in laughter.
"Boss, maybe you should take a rest first," said the guard. "You've been at it all night."
His boss' laughter stopped abruptly, followed by a deadly look in his eyes. "Shut up," said Alexio, grabbing the man by his collar. "I've waited for this moment for way too long," he said softly, "and I'm not gonna waste any more time." He let go of his guard's collar and walked off.
The guard stared after him. He's losing it, he thought.

The door of the Turtles' cell flew open and the silhouette of Alexio appeared in the door opening.
"Good news," he said. "I can let you go without letting any scientist know you're around." He stood in front of Donatello. "You should be thankful," he said. "God did not give us humans the superior power of intelligence and wisdom for nothing. This world belongs to humans. Not to monsters like you. You're just tiny mistakes."
Donatello glared at him, but stayed calm. Raphael was having more trouble keeping his temper.
"However," said Alexio, "I'll set you free on two conditions. One: you're going to play a part in my revenge against a certain someone. If you simply do as I tell you, I'll let you and that woman go. And two: if I ever catch even a glimpse of you again, I'll let every scientist, news paper, anything, know about your existence." He looked at Leonardo. "Do I make myself clear?"
"What about Naomi?" asked Leonardo calmly.
"Oh yes, that's another thing," said Alexio. "If you want to see her, you'll do exactly as I say. Any funny moves, any step in the wrong direction, and I'll kill her and you."
"You'd better not've laid one finger on her!" said Raphael.
"You'll release her, too," said Leonardo.
"Listen… gentlemen," said Alexio, a disgusted look on his face. "You're in no position to threaten or to demand anything. And if the life of this girl is so precious to you, you'll understand what I'm saying here. Don't you?" He looked at Donatello again. He just glared back. Alexio moved closer to him. "You must be her favorite," he said amused. "Trying to kill me with that glare. You hate me so much, you wish I'd just drop dead and fall right into Hell."
"Spooky," said Donatello sarcastically, "how you can read my mind like that."
A smirk appeared on Alexio's face. "How's it feel?" he asked, a dark look in his eyes. "To hate someone so much? I know what it's like. But I'm a human. A monster like you must be having a much stronger urge to kill. Sure, I can see that you have emotions. But as an animal, you lack reason."
Donatello knew better than to argue about this. He would be wasting time they could put into saving Naomi.
"I'll bring two of my bodyguards with me," said Alexio. "If anyone of you tries something funny, they'll blow you right out of your shells. And the girl will die, too."
Leonardo looked at the others.
Alexio smirked. "So… do we have an agreement?"
******
No… No more…
"Kid… Kid, wake up."
"Why the hell are you helping her?"
"Can't you see she's dying?! She can't die until the Boss is satisfied with his revenge. Or do you wanna spend the next 20 years chasing after her so-called 'reincarnation'?"
"…"
"Open your eyes, kid. Look at me."
"Ugh… There's blood and puke all over the damn place."
Naomi moaned and opened her eyes. It took a few seconds for her vision to sharpen. When she saw the tall, buff man in front of her, she panicked. She struggled against the chains, but didn't scream. It was like her chest was penetrated. The cut Alexio had given her was ripped to a huge cut.
"Shh, easy, I'm not gonna hurt you," said the black-haired man. He looked at her chest. "Damn. Dave, look at this."
"I'm on guard in case the Boss gets back," said Dave.
The other man looked at her wrists as Naomi continued to struggle.
"I told you, take it easy," he said. He restrained her by grabbing her arms. "Look what you're doing to yourself." Naomi kept struggling, tears streaming down her face. "Look at your arms," tried the man again. "Look at them."
Naomi gave up and looked at her left arm. The man removed his hand so she could see for herself. Her arm was covered with blood. Her wrist was probably broken. She didn't know. She lost feeling in it a while ago.
She started to cry silently.
"Listen," said the man, "I've brought you some food and water. Wanna drink some?"
He picked up the bottle of water he had put on the floor. Naomi stared at it.
"It's not poisoned," reassured the guard her. "Here, drink some. You'll get dehydrated if you don't drink anything soon." He gently pressed the opening of the bottle against her lips. Naomi slowly opened her mouth a little. The cold liquid entering her mouth was refreshing. She had never thought drinking water would feel so good. Before she knew it, she drank all of it.
"Good girl," said the guard. "Now try and eat some bread." He took a small piece off the bread he had brought and put it in her mouth, making a slightly embarrassed face as he was doing it. Naomi's chewing was slow and weak. She got a few bites more, but after another five bites, she threw up.
"Holy…" The man stepped back. Naomi threw up more than she had just eaten. "Hey… hang in there," he said, not quite sure what to do with this. I'm already used to this kind of stuff, but… she's a child, he thought.
Naomi closed her eyes again, slowly losing hope that everything will be ok.
Yeah, not exactly a chapter full of glee... xD Things are looking very bad, even I don't know exactly how to continue on this. I do know how it will end, though.
I'll try and upload chapter 16 asap. :) Until then, bye bye~!
