Enemy Land, III

Dungeon

Vira can feel hands touching. Judging from the roughness and size, it is safe to say that the pair belongs to a man’s.

Opening her eyes, she finds herself being greeted by Xenos’ dark eyes. He is watching her, staring at her curiously.

She tries to move, but finds her whole body constricted with chains. One is hanging by her wrists from above, the other on each of her legs by the walls when she tries to kick him.

Adjusting her eyes to the dim light, Vira tries to look around. The walls are made of bricks. She cannot see any doors or windows. But judging from the coldness at her exposed back, she is positive that there should be some outside of her seeing range.

“Where’s my clothes?” she asks, her voice too steady and calm for someone who is being suspended in mid air.

“I had them removed. They were covered with blood.”

“Thanks for the concern, but I don’t mind that.” He does not miss the sarcasm in her tone. “And if you think that you’re winning, think again. Now you’ve got two of my teammates with you. Return them to me before I make sure you regret it.”

“Said you.”

She launches herself at him, causing him to flinch and jump back. It’s too late to realize it by the time he finds myself backing away from her. “I have my ways,” she says tauntingly.

“I’ll torture you before you have the chance, and then I’m going to kill you,” he says the words, but they sound like they are repeated instead of meaning it.

“Are you sure you’re even ready for that kind of level, Xenos? Torture is my game.”

The mocking smile on her face. He just wants to wipe it off her.

Reaching into his pocket pants, he takes out a small, transparent tube. Vira cannot register what it is he is holding. At least not until he bites off the lid and presses the sharp object against her skin.

“No! Get that thing off of me,” she screams frantically. “No, please don’t. Anything but this!” He jabs the needle into her skin, and a wailing scream erupts.

It is not like anything he has ever heard. Her scream is high pitch, full of desperation. The dread in her throat is so familiar that it reminds him of when he begged her not to kill him three years ago.

“Yes, that’s it. Scream for me, little bird.”

It feels like a knife has reside in her flesh, instead of a needle. Ghost electric runs through her body, up and down like a never ending wave. She hates needles. She hates needles so much….

Xenos takes out the needle and lifts one of her legs up his shoulder. He punctured the main artery this time, causing her to erupt another scream. Tears steam down her face, out of control. Her whole body shivers against him, going cold.

Weak and helpless. Yes, this is the kind of look he wants to see of her. She looks so vulnerable in this state that he just cannot help but—

Before he realizes what he is doing, he has close the distance between them. He tastes her lips, wet from sweat and tears. It is just lips, but it is her lips. His enemy, the one that he swore to get rid off. But why do they only make him want to taste her more?

He bites her bottom lip roughly, causing her to moan. In pain or pleasure, he has no idea. All that he can think of at the moment is to get a deeper taste out of her.

Vira groans, moving her head away in a pity attempt to get him off. The fact of what’s happen still has not registered her yet, not with the pain of the needle still engulfing her. No, she cannot bare the thought of it. It brings back too much hurtful memories.

When he cannot get a proper response out of her, Xenos bites her until she bleeds, causing her eyes to blink open. Those cold grey eyes stare at him hazily, before they slowly grows wide open.

“Humffh!” Now she’s struggling in full force, trying to get herself away from him. The effort is futile, nonetheless. She is chained and dangling in the air. Where can she go?

“Open your mouth. And if you dare to bite, I’ll make it hurt even more.” Just to make sure that he’s not bluffing, Xenos twists the needle in her flesh, causing her to scream. More tears stream down her face, but she parts her lips weakly. “Open your eyes,” he orders her when he finds them closed. He wants to see the fear in those glassy eyes of hers.

His mouth is back on hers. He inserts in tongue in, and it collides against hers. He kisses her as he stares intensely into her eyes. He is not dominating at all. In fact, if this is a normal situation and if they are not enemies, this kiss would have been sensual. But the only thing she can feel right now is that dread feeling in her heart.

Vira throws her head back, needing air. A hand yanks her hair, pushing her head back down. Xenos kisses her again, this time making sure to brush every inch of her mouth. She uses her tongue to push him away, but it brushes against his and causes him to moan huskily. He breaks the kiss, only to kiss her once more. Fiercer, this time.

She feels sick when his saliva just seem to spread everywhere in her mouth. She tries to move away. For air, if not to gain back her space. But he forces her to stay in position, causing her to choke and ending up swallowing his saliva.

“No, stop. This is disgusting. I can’t stand this!” she opens her mouth when he tries to lean in again. Angered, he twists the needle by the handle once more. Vira screams and cries until her throat grows sore and her eyes dry. Her body becomes limp when her energy runs out. He takes advantage of her condition to sedate his curiosity even further.
