Chapter 15 – Antisaint

The metal sound that was constantly surrounding him and chafing against other raw metal, it echoed and echoed. Kai was lying flat and face down on the hot brick floor but he didn’t move because he’d become used to the heat and the thin layer of sweat that was forever on his colorless flesh.

He had no heart beat and he had no blood, he may as well have not been human since he had ceased to be alive so long ago.

He opened his eyes as his head lay on his left cheek, hair sticking to his neck and face, hands lying palms flat on the ground and he watched his fingers twitch where they were near his forehead, his other arm lied along his bare side flat on the floor. He’s once deep colored eyes were now dull and almost white empty pupils but they saw everything there was to see in this unchanging world that Tala had locked him in.

He watched, from his close range to the floor, the heat rising up from it, making little transparent waves as it radiated up and then will dulled just waking senses he noted the blood on his hand close to his face…and that his finger nails were gone.

“!!” Kai pushed himself up with a start and got on to his bruised knees, surveying his hand with wide eyes and short breathes before he looked to the ground and saw small chips of orange and black flaking grout and dirt, scratched up clearly from the brick and he saw his finger nails…hard white and some stuck in between the brick.

He felt himself choking on his fright and he grabbed his throat whilst looking around in panic, he was trying to recall why he had been clawing at the ground in the previous…days or hours or whatever had passed in this world with no time. He looked at his other hand and a few nails were chipped and half off, his hands were so hot that he really couldn’t feel it even as he saw dried blood on his fingers. He grabbed his throat and rubbed at the sweat also feeling the dirt and blood and filth collected on his skin when he did so, from which he grabbed handfuls of his hard and dirty hair.

He growled and released his hair when he remembered why he had been clawing at the ground, he didn’t need to look at his naked form to piece together Tala’s visit.

He looked around for the jeans that he’d found in the bey room after he initially realized that being ‘dead’ meant he was in whatever hell Tala existed in and make no mistake, Kai was certain that despite this place still looking like basement of Balvoc Abbey, he’d seen halls that hadn’t existed before and rooms he’d dare not enter since they had nothing but blackness to offer.

This was no longer the abbey down below, it was in fact Hell.

He saw his jeans thrown aside and lying over a piece of furniture, the wood of the small desk was warped and cracked from being dried up in the intense heat of this place. It must have been cast over there when it was ripped off his body, he got up from his raw and bruised knees and walked over to it, picking it up he noticed he was correct about it being ripped off of his body, since from Tala’s…hands…were large rips in the material when he’d been trying to get it off.

Kai had experienced Tala in a different form in the time, however long it had been, he’d been down there, it had frightened him shitless the first time but after a while it became a nightmare, by which he was subdued and Tala would reverse the roles of the sexual games he liked.

Kai knew that if Tala was in the sexy red haired human form, it meant Kai would get to play top…but when he wasn’t it meant the opposite. He felt violated mostly but he lacked a choice so he went with it, the only thing he hoped for with little zest, was that he might actually see complete blackness in his dead form or be given a chance to get away…to any fucking place that didn’t have this torture.

He pulled the tattered denim onto his body, silently longing to clean his skin but the showers in the abbey had recently ceased to flow anything but cold dirt and sometimes blood. To think of the how silent it actually was, aside from the grinding metal noise all the time, Kai realized he hadn’t spoken a word over the time that had passed.

He didn’t speak to ‘it’ anymore because there was hardly a chance and Kai saw little of ‘it’ as well since it was gone and returned sporadically to use Kai for its gross satisfaction.

He felt like a whore being kept locked up while his master went out to play, as to where Tala went and what he did, Kai had no real idea, but sometimes, when wondering the lower levels that seemed much larger and darker and hotter than anything he could ever have imagined, he would see fresh human limbs lying bleeding from their severed parts and once he saw most of a man, unidentifiable in the face but his legs were twitching and his guts had been as well from his split open chest.

Kai shook his head to clear the memory that was one of so many as he stumbled out of the room he’d woken up in, looking along the black halls he touched his hand to one of the walls and watched as the black veins in his own body connected with the wall from his pallid skin, they were now a part of him.

He waited until he felt the correct pulse and he grimaced deeply when he felt that Tala was here, other times when Kai felt the walls he learned he was alone by the lack of pulse.

He pulled his hand from the surface and crouched down, he didn’t know if he had bones anymore because his body never made a sound when he moved, or maybe he just couldn’t hear it with the constant noise drawling on around him.

Kai had learned to feel the walls because he knew that’s how Tala usually found him, he tried it and realized that now he was dead, he could do the same.

He started walking again, trying desperately to ignore the sound; it was getting to him worse now than any time before, Tala was obviously pre occupied since he didn’t see him…

He paused as he stopped in a door way, speak of the Devil, there Tala stood, just stood and did nothing, surrounded by old lab work space and Kai saw nothing else in the dark room…Tala didn’t look at him even though Kai knew he was there, so Kai assumed he wouldn’t be needed right then.

He walked away and hit the wall angrily as he did with his fist; the sound seemed to be right inside his head as horrible as it sounded to him.

‘Where is it coming from…’ he thought dully, almost hearing his thoughts fight all of the blackness in his mind, he started walking along the hall in the direction he thought it seemed to originate from and as he did he followed the sound whenever it became more predominant.

He felt like he’d been walking for hours when he finally heard the sound louder than it was in any direction, he took tired steps that way.

Kai didn’t feel hunger any longer but he did feel pain and fright, other things that he’d have given up in order to keep the more pleasant things, but he realized some time ago that wishing to experience hunger when he had no food was a very bad thought, hunger pangs would make it all worse.

He walked around a corner, his jaw tightly shut and locked against the sound now bouncing off ever wall, he stopped and his eyes widened as he entered the room where he saw the noises maker.

“…damn…” he barely managed to say since his voice was lost in his voices non usage and the loud noise.

The elevator room…it was almost unrecognizable except for the dark and frightening empty elevator shaft that looked like a death trap. Kai had sealed his fate so long ago when he’d ventured down in that elevator and now, like a reminder that scraped against the walls of his skull with its noise, the doors open and closed half way…over and over and over and over again.

The noise should never have been so amplified as it was, but Kai knew it was part of the cruel and unusual nature of this place to torture him, these doors, creaking and chafing on and on…

The floor light flickered and Kai frowned because he knew that meant that power ran through the elevator, that would mean it would work, but he didn’t know how sure he was of that. Never the less he walked closer and gritted his teeth against the sound, pressing the button and seeing it light up.

The door creaked and scraped all the way closed and he glanced up to see the floor lights signal the elevator was coming down; he swallowed and narrowed his eyes.

What he had to be scared of he didn’t know, ‘it’ was down here, so whatever was above had to be better, assuming there was an above. The silence was unnerving in this place, he heard other noises now, like dripping and shifting and he swore he heard wind, it made his skin crawl.

A loud ding sounded and Kai winced and stepped back as the doors shakily scraped open and the inside of the elevator was revealed to him…the walls were damaged and dented, like something had been fighting inside it but there was a surprising lack of blood and only the usual decay of ill maintained machinery visible.

If that wasn’t suspicious enough…the light shone brightly inside it and even revealed more blood stains on the floor Kai’s feet were stuck to with its bright glory along with the pale greenish tint of the elevator walls. It was very unsettling but it worked and Kai doubted very much it would once he stood in it but he was gonna give it a try.

As he stepped in and squinted his eyes when the bright light bore down on his colorless eyes, Kai imagined the doors closing and the walls coming alive and killing him, but it was an over active imagination, because he quickly remembered Tala’s pleasure he took whenever he reminded Kai that he was void of life.

He touched his finger, without its nail, to the button that had a faded (1) on it and he back stepped against the dented walls when the doors jerked and scraped to a close again. Kai wobbled a little on his legs when it actually begun moving and he felt the lift in his body when it took off upward…but he didn’t fail to notice how long it took at such a high speed to reach (1).

The basement from the top floor was never longer than a 15 second up and down…he stood in the elevator for almost a minute until it dinged again and the doors opened…without the unnatural sound of amplified scraping. Kai felt himself shaking as he realized he was looking at a familiar place, the elevator waiting room of the abbey was before his very frightened eyes and it looked like it always did.

Even the blood that had been there after Tala’s killing spree was gone, he knew he was in a different world now, this was some other horrible way to toy with his dead mind and the fact that Tala hadn’t come after him like he would have exacted made it seem even more likely that something awful would happen soon. Conveniently the doors didn’t close and the air didn’t even move as Kai remained frozen to the back of the elevator, he took a moment to consider his options.

He could just go back down to…hell because he knew that was there and it was where he now belonged with the heat and pain and occasionally mind blowing orgasms that seemed to be the only good feeling he was left allowed to experience when ever ‘it’ decided to be Tala in body form.

Or he could just see what lied beyond the threshold of the elevator because truthfully, the only thing he had left to suffer was death in its most final form which would be welcomed compared to how he was now. He really had nothing to fear and nothing left to hide from.

He pushed himself forward and as he walked out into the bright hall he noticed he’d heard his footsteps on the ground, which hadn’t happened in as long as he could remember, he also heard his breathing and he noticed it increased in pace with his awareness. The one thing that didn’t go away was the constant heat of his body and when he lowered his eyes to look at his body properly he saw the sweat and grime on his chest and how filthy the jeans actually were.

He still felt this was an illusion even though when he walked into another hall he saw over cast light from outside streaming in through the window, which meant there was an outside.

Kai’s feet carried him in the direction of the room he once inhabited and he wished that he could feel the cold in the air against his skin because felt the wind pressure against his skin but not the cold. He also noted that meant a door or large window was open in the abbey for there to be string wind coming inside. He found his room after some walking and he stepped inside, the bed was toppled and the bricks missing in the floor from where he’d found his gun…so long ago.

Blood stained the sheets and the floor but Bryan’s corpse wasn’t there, thankfully, since it was most likely a maggot rotting pile of black flesh by now. He walked over the dark faded blood stains on the brick and into the bathroom which was dark since there were no windows and when he clicked the light switch, it didn’t come on.

He walked back over to the bedroom switch and tried it but nothing came on either, Kai sighed and went back into the bathroom, almost managing a smile on his cracked, dried and sore lips when he saw a piece of soap lying in the dusty dish and even the old shampoo bottle was lying on the floor along with other menial toiletries.

He tried the taps and after sputtering out brown water it ran clear through the shower head and he placed his hand under it, it had no temperature he could feel due to his bodies constant burning and Kai didn’t realize how lucky he was because he water running from that tap was iced cold. He absently shut the door and picked up the shampoo, jumping under the water and as he rubbed the soap over his skin and the shampoo into his hair, he watched discolored water swirl at his feet until after many washes it started running clear.

Kai then sat down in the shower and just let the water run over him, his body was hot and he felt like he was steaming, it was also the reason that his chest always felt like it was closing when he breathed. The water ran over his hair and he watched it drip from his hair, he wasn’t crying but he was experiencing a certain amount of misery that being in a constant dark world hadn’t allowed.

Now that everything he looked at was more or less natural colors and didn’t have that burning orange tint and hue and the smell of burning and choking texture of steam, he felt alive without a heartbeat.

After the longest while he finally got out of the small bathroom and walked back into the bedroom, finding clothes in the drawers and shaking out the fish moths with a distasteful look, but the clean jeans and shirt on his body was such a relief even if he did feel like they might be incinerated on his person.

But they weren’t at all and he walked from the room wearing the clothes and feeling his wind sway with the wind now that it wasn’t hung heavy with dirt.

He followed the gusts until he found the open hall to the abbey and saw the door wide open and beyond it he saw snow…clean white snow. Kai felt himself start to run before he did and once he grabbed the door frame and threw himself outside and down the short steps, he landed on his knees in the snow and grabbed handfuls of it watching it slowly start to shrink away in his hands and the heat of his body. That meant the snow was real and that meant that the gate he looked up to see was real as well.

The exit.

Kai stood up and he couldn’t feel the cold snow between his toes as he rushed toward the gate, hearing himself breathing harshly as he struggled through the snow and he threw his arms out to the gate, grabbing the bars in his hands and shaking. The gate barely moved because it was enormous and heavy but Kai shook and he did so with his eyes shut, viciously gritting his teeth as he did but he quietly knew was futile, he opened his eyes finally and let out a loud angry shout.

He fell to his knees and let go of the gate, he was crying now and he felt a pain in his chest that compared to the pain he’d felt when been half eaten alive, that’s how powerfully it hurt to see the land beyond the gates…look so different to the abbey even though the abbey seemed normal to his desperate eyes. Kai should have known what was happening and now that he was seeing the real world beyond the gates…the snow started to be tainted in that familiar red and the world behind him seemed to slowly become what he remembered.

Bitterly Kai turned around to look back at the face of the abbey and he closed his eyes again and turned away…

…because all he saw was bodies upon bodies and limbs among limbs stuck and mounted to the abbey and birds, large black birds littered the roof and the snow and dull lifeless trees, squawking and fluttering around the flesh to be eaten.

There was nowhere but hell for Kai.

“Ah man!” the 14 year old boy jumped back and gripped his pained hand while his mouth hung open in shock. His friend of the same age who was some feet away examining the high walls of Balvoc abbey turned around in hurry when he heard his friend yell.

“What happened Bram!” he shouted back and ran over, almost falling in his big snow boots as he rushed to his friend who stood at the massive black gates of the abbey’s entrance.

“…geez…” Bram was saying and staring at his hand that wasn’t revealing much in sight but hurt like hell.

“What is it?” the second boy came up next to him and stared at his friends hand through his glasses, squinting to see nothing that was there.

“I…it was weird.” Bram mumbled and reached into his jacket pocket for his gloves, deciding to put them back on.

“What was weird?” the boy became irritated and persisted.

Bram, who was inches short than his friend and had short spiked brown hair under his snow cap, looked at his friend Chris, with wide and confused blue eyes,

“I touched the gate…right here…” he gestured to the exact spot on one of the bars, “…and I got burned, like it was really, really hot.” He complained.

Chris made a ‘yeah whatever’ face and pulled one glove off his hand, grabbing the bar where his friend had said it was hot and then another bar as well,

“Its cold, that’s all, maybe you got freezer burn, but I doubt it.” He said as if he really knew.

Bram just rolled his eyes and pulled his second glove over his still hot hand,

“…it was hot…like just for a second.” He mumbled.

Chris shrugged and stuck his hands in his puffy jacket pockets,

“So…you still wanna find a way inside this old place?” he asked with a bored look on his slightly pudgy face, his brown curly hair sticking out underneath his snow cap and he adjusted his glasses on his face.

“Yeah…” Bram nodded, “…no point walking all this way from the main road and then not going in.”

“It doesn’t look as scary as the shit they say about it, I mean, the rumor was that everyone, every single person who stayed here was killed and slaughtered…but they never found a single body, except for the head and body of the director this place was named after.” He sounded like a know-it-all when he only recited what he’d read about the place 4 months ago.

“Come to think of it…” he poked Bram’s arm and smiled, his crooked teeth making him look dorkier than he already was, “…they say he’s body was just less than a meter from the front gate.”

If he was attempting to scare Bram, it wasn’t likely, the boy was not afraid of ghost stories and he just rolled his eyes,

“I know the stories, I even know they said all of the bodies were eaten by the cannibalistic murderer, which was not even as stupid as some other crap people made up about this place.” He started walking around the property to the small way accessible at the side walls next to the thicker woods and bushes, but he didn’t go in and just assessed the layout along the large abbey walled up side.

“If you don’t like it for the gore and creepy stories then why the hell are we hear on a Saturday morning when we could be at the mall or something?” he whined and puffed up turning a little red.

Bram didn’t look at him,

“Because I like the basic story…about the boy who massacred everyone and then disappeared because whether there were bodies or not we can’t really believe the police would say so because this place is so out of the way they’d have had it cleared up even before the main city got wind of it…” he finally looked at Chris and then pointed down the wall side which was a dark over grown route that would be difficult to get through.

“What do you hope to find down that way?” he had walked over and looked at the overgrowth.

“If you noticed when looking through the gate, you can see a tree that grows out over the high walls…if we can get to it and climb it then we can get inside the property.” He smiled.

Chris frowned and walked back to look through the gate, sure enough there was a large tree branch growing over the wall, but his eyes scanned the premises, or what they could see of it, and he found himself concerned with the police lines laying unmoving on the snowy ground and the fact that no trees seemed to move even though there was wind to support it.

There were no birds and the snow seemed stiffer than the snow under their boots, the bricks seemed darker and darker every time he looked at them and when he took a step back and took in the whole sight…it looked like a still photo.

“M…maybe we shouldn’t go in there Bram…” his voice came out a little light and he realized his friend was looking at him questioningly, he didn’t want to be a chicken so he threw on an awkward smile and gestured to the place, “…I mean, there could be vagabonds and maybe even some serial killer in hiding in this place.” He added.

Bram walked over and looked in the gate again and truthfully he’d noticed the way everything beyond the front gate seemed like dead space and he’d also noticed that the snow right by the gate seemed to be getting lesser and almost melting around the spot where the gate had been hot, but he had hoped Chris wouldn’t notice and he pointedly ignored it so he didn’t mention it because he really wanted to go inside.

“And the main road is like a half an hour walk…if something happens then we’re not gonna find help or nothing…” he added further and glanced at the place again.

Bram sighed and shrugged,

“Look, I asked if you wanted to come and you said yes, now your gonna leave me hanging.” he said in defeat.

Chris took a moment to consider whether his concerns or his natural male nature to not be up-stood was going to decide his actions, but ultimately he knew even before he sighed, that he was gonna do it,

“Alright…lets go then.” He started trudging to the side of the wall and Bram had a small sneaky grin as he followed behind his friend and they started making their way through the rough bush.

When they finally reached the tree and Bram leaned against it, heaving a tired sigh, Chris was breathing tiredly as well and leaned against what he could see of the wall next to the tree, which had creepy crawly vines growing along it like skin.

“Man, you owe me.” He pointed lazily at Bram, who nodded just as lazily,

“I know, thanks for the company…” he pushed off the tree and turned to face it, patting the bark with his gloved hands trying to find gripping points to get him to the first smaller branch below the large one.

He managed to find a spot and lifted his leg, planting his boot at the slanting base, where it slipped once but the second time was steady enough, together with his slight grip he managed to pull himself up a little.

Chris watched so he could follow where Bram climbed but as he did and saw Bram reached the first branch and struggle up onto it a question formed in his mind,

“Dude…what do you hope to see inside?” he was frowning when he looked up and saw Bram look down at him with a slighter frown.

“Honestly, I don’t know…I guess I just wanna see…something.” He said it in a voice that suggested he hoped to find a mind blowing shock or something.

Chris just shook his head and when Bram was up on the branch higher up, Chris started climbing.

The jump…or fall rather to the snow below the high wall and tree, left both of them laughing and rolling in the snow in moderate pain, their legs wobbled from trying to land on their feet, they were lucky the drop was less still due to the piles of snow against the wall, or they might have injured like Chris feared.

But they stopped laughing once they got to their feet and seemed to be consumed by silence…

Their breathing seemed the loudest thing around them and the shared a glance before Bram coughed and saw nothing move…not a bird from a tree or anything.

“You know this feels way weird right Bram.” Chris informed straightening his glasses as a nervous tick.

Bram nodded but didn’t say anything as he started walking off the slight hill of snow and down to the more regular snowed over ground and Chris followed a little numbly.

They walked over to the front entrance and tramped on the police lines lying motionless over the ground and stairs and Chris only followed because Bram walked straight up the stairs and shoved his weight against the massive door. It moved easily enough but made a very loud noise and Chris back stepped from the small fright he got but he startled even more when Bram back stepped and nearly fell down the stairs while holding his face.

Chris had his face pulled even though he didn’t know why but he heard Bram gagging and he glanced at the entrance, seeing mostly dark past the entrance.

“Man…it fucking reeks!!” Bram, who rarely cussed, shouted and gagged again.

“Like what?” Chris asked quickly and held his mouth just by the way Bram seemed to discolor from the smell,

“Like…I dunno…the worst stink ever, like a when you find a dead rat in the attic after months but just way worse!” he looked at Chris, whose eyes were wide and he seemed to have a thought as his mouth opened and closed a few times.

“What?!” Bram released his face and glanced at the opened door.

“Well…if people were really killed then…wouldn’t that be why it smells so bad?” he asked the sincere and valid question making Bram frown in agreement.

“You’re right…that’s true.” He nodded and started to make his way up the stairs again.

“But isn’t that proof enough then, do we have to go in!?” he said loudly hoping Bram would agree.

But when his friend continued on and pushed the door open more, his face displaying the disgusting smell clearly yet he took steps inward.

Chris got an after waft and made a loud disgusted groaning noise and crouched in the snow trying to get it out of his nose, but when he looked again Bram was gone and that scared him worse, so he got to his feet and rushed up the stairs, gagging at the smell but he went inside and looked around the large entrance hall.

“Bram…?” he mumbled and then he saw his friend almost to the other door of the room, “…man, wait for me…” he said in a loud whisper and Bram turned to look at him,

“Then quit whining and keep up!” he said in a loud whisper too.

Through that door it began to stink worse and the air seemed to be thick with it and even tasted foul, Chris’s face was turning a few shades of color a minute as the smell worsened and he stopped wanting to breath just so he wouldn’t taste or smell it. Bram looked sick as well as they walked the halls but he didn’t seem about to run away so Chris was forced to endure and he stayed as close as was possible to Bram as they went further.

“Where are we going?!” Chris whispered loudly.

Bram didn’t answer immediately but after a moment and a small choked cough he stopped,

“…I’m looking for something…anything, but there isn’t even any signs of old blood…and we haven’t found a door yet.

The time had been so short but the stone had become so frighteningly dark that the blood was hard to see against the deep mildew and grout on the stone floor…and as the abbey had been years ago, its maze of halls were known only to the people who lived there…but all doors held unsightly things behind him, be them things of the mind or of actual sight, it was nothing people might want to see, if they found the doors…

Along the halls and around a few corners the eventually walked along the halls with doors every few meters apart, bedrooms for the previous residents and as they walked around more and more corners, Chris feared they were lost because everything looked the same and everything blended too easily.

He hadn’t realized he was shaking and holding his breath until Bram made a loud frustrated sound and turned kicked the wall making Chris start badly.

“What the hell man!” Chris said breathlessly, still whispering and holding his chest.

“It’s pointless! We’ve walked and walked and walked some more and all we’ve found are these small stupid half empty rooms!” he wasn’t whispering and Chris glanced around, feeling the air shift with Bram irritation.

The air hadn’t moved all along but now, when he looked a little ways over Bram’s shoulder to an open room door, the faint light allowed him to see small dust particles just barely before the clouds seemed to make it too dim.

Chris swallowed,

“There isn’t anything here but…” when he breathed he noticed how his breath was frosty and clouded more so than outside, “…cold and it’s really cold in here.”

“We left the front big door open…” Bram said with an expression of annoyance while he looked around the short width of the hall.

“Bram…I think we really need to go…”

“…yeah…” Bram said with a defeated sigh, “…I guess I was just hoping for too much.”

Chris was relieved and it showed all over his face…except when they couldn’t find the exit, he barely allowed himself to blink as they seemed to find themselves in a colder and even more isolated area of the abbey, it seemed that even light struggled to get down here since it was far too dim compared to the daylight, however over cast it was.

“We’re lost…oh my god…” Chris practically whimpered and he clutched the insides of his jacket pockets for his dear life.

Bram didn’t wanna say but he was equally concerned, he figured he’d be the brave one and they’d find their way out eventually,

“We’re a little lost…but it isn’t…” Bram paused speaking and Chris rushed up to him when he saw the shorter boy standing and staring into a room, it was around a corner and off the main hall they’d been walking…and it was a small out in a dead end.

Chris grabbed Bram and held onto his arm when he got close enough,

“You found a way out!” he was smiling until he turned to look into the room.

It was strangely frightening.

To see a room so empty and moderately wide…seem so completely dark and small…with only an elevator brightly lit against the eerie background.

Kai was kneeling at the bottom of the gate having let go, his burning hands hadn’t even felt the cold of the bars and even as he had his palms planted on his knees he couldn’t feel the heat against the heat in his thighs…the snow around him broke under his weight and temperature.

‘...come back…’

It reverberated in his head and the familiar tingle and sensation in his body came with that voice pounding around his head…it was sometimes a good sensation…other times…most times…not. He should have known…he really should, that this was his permanent residency, the abbey he’d hated with so much passion and had been dying to leave once he was old enough, was now his literal hell.

He stood up and walked away from the gate, his steps were steady and not hesitant, grumbling in his mind to himself that he’d be there soon…back to Tala…back to ‘it’.

Kai stepped into the opened door and closed it behind him, quietly…but he heard it, the groaning in the walls, the demands of Tala wanting him to come back from his small break. Kai rubbed his hands over the clothes he wore and a thought crossed his mind.

He hurried a bit faster, making way back to his room so he could grab what he wanted to take down, wanting to have clothes to wear.

But he let out a cry of pain and fell hard against the wall when Tala demanded furiously that he come straight away, Kai now leaning against the wall felt his head throb with the anger and lust he was demanded with.

“Okay…” Kai breathed out painfully and he knew Tala heard every word, felt ever movement, “…I’m coming red…don’t get your fucking panties in a twist…”

With that he felt what he identified as a moan and softer demand from Tala, Kai was a sick fuck and had to spare a smile,

“…yeah…I’m coming…” he pushed himself off the wall and staggered a bit, he was still recovering from the pain, “…you better be nice to me tonight…” he said, saying tonight only because he had seen some semblance of time when outside and assumed it’d last hours with Tala as it usually did and lead into the night.

He walked slowly though, passing an occasional lab door and a few miscellaneous rooms that now contained nothing, Kai had always hated the abbey. Boris and its children alike, they had all been so perfectly insignificant and he had been king of it all, even Boris barely dared to fuck with him, Kai had had enough control had he exercised it, to control even the bastard director.

But his cockiness was his downfall when it came to those beautifully evil lips that spoke no words and a face that possessed eyes which provoked him to an extent he only then discovered he had been capable of.

He only regretted it that he had no control now…if he could be the one summoning Tala, then yeah, he’d do the blood thing again. He smiled and ran a hand through his clean hair as he walked down a flight of stairs he’d run up, enjoying the sound of his footsteps echoing.

Chris spun around in a neat circle when he thought he heard something,

“I heard…like…footsteps…” he breathed out as his heart abused his chest so it strained painfully.

Bram was still daring few steps closer to the elevator noticing that while there was a stench in the room, it wasn’t something he could place.

“Tch…” he dismissed his friend, “…your just scaring yourself…” he mumbled.

Bram didn’t walk any closer but leaned forward, several feet from the elevator,

“It looks so unstable…”

“Ag! Oh god…oh…wow…” Chris now startled Bram who spun around to see his friend fanning himself and grabbing at his clothes, “…why the fuck is it so hot!” he cried out now, frightened by the sudden heat, and he stepped closer to the doorway and only felt hotter.

Bram stared; he saw the pain on Chris’s face.

Kai stood in the door way and stared at the elevator with narrowed eyes, he leaned against the wall and he felt Tala still being as seductive through his manner of communication as Kai knew him to be when in his ‘human-esqe’ form. After a moment he took strides forward.

Chris yelled painfully when he felt heat so intense it brought sudden tears to his eyes and fell to his knees…it passed though with a choking feeling he’d had and scrambled through the doorway,
“Bram…I…I’m getting out of here man…come on!” he ran out and hit into the wall as he stumbled, looking back to see Bram making the same distressed breathing.

“A…h…” he could barely breathe as the heat seemed to seep into his body and he could breath less and less, he stared at Chris, leaning against the wall looking so frightened.

Bram felt like Hell was burning in his chest and throat and right down to every limb,

“…Ch…ris…” he tried to say and stumbled toward his friend.

The heat lessened and he kept stumbling until he gasped so loudly and desperately for air and fell onto his knees. Chris jumped and shouted in genuine fear when the elevator jerked to life and Bram practically fell over and looked at it too, his eyes widening.

Footsteps sounded and he looked back to see Chris was gone, running away and his footsteps faded, but he didn’t pay attention to that for long when the elevator ‘dinged’ loudly.

His head snapped back and crawled backward slightly, the heat leaving him now and the fear had his blood running cold.

The orange light was lit up but no one had pressed it.

He swallowed when he realized his throat was dry and his mouth was open.

The doors jerked to life as well and made a screeching sound that Bram heard himself yell out from and his bottom lip shivered violently. The screeching continued all the way until the old metal slid shut and he heard silence.

The room was ice cold until another violent scraping started…and he waited…seconds seeming like minutes when he didn’t heard the sound become any less, it was doing his head in…the elevator sound didn’t stop…it just went on and on and on.

“…w…wha…” he said incoherently and grabbed his ears, his lip still shivered and he felt like he was going to scream, cry or both if it didn’t stop.

It only became louder but he jumped to his feet quickly when he saw the metal frame of the elevator begin to blacken before his eyes and the metal seemed to be crumbling in on itself.

He was shaking his head as he scrambled backward and eventually to his feet, backing out so shaken and carelessly that he hit the wall outside of the room with the same blind weight and it hurt so much that it hit the scream out his mouth.

He heard the screeching, the metal against metal…his back burned as he leaned against the wall but he didn’t see why he had been burning, he ran too fast and completely on adrenalin.

He had wanted to visit this place because he couldn’t stop thinking about since his mother had fallen pregnant…this place had stayed in his mind and even in his dreams because he’d been reading about it the day after it happened…and right when his mother had been rushed from the house…bleeding…and later discovered to be pregnant.

He’d had to put his mind to rest so he came looking…came looking for what had stayed in his mind…now, he regretted it.

Kai arrived outside of the archway to the beybattle room and he paused, his legs wobbled slightly when he saw the blackness of the room, Tala was that blackness.

He pulled his shirt up over his head and half folded it before he dropped it onto the ground outside of the arch, ding the same with his pants. He listened to the screeching of the doors doing their worst again and he didn’t look at his nude body.

Kai doubted he’d ever age again, his body remained unchanged, but scars lasted, long scratch marks over his back…not of a human kind. He took footsteps toward the entrance but he couldn’t hear his footsteps, not over that sound. The sound of Hell.

Once he was inside only then did the screeching slowly fade and he noticed the dark closing in, that entrance that seemed to disappear when Tala willed it to be so…like now.

He felt it and he knew what the silhouette looked like even without seeing it…the large form coming up behind him, the long talon like fingers enclosing on Kai’s shoulders, it was three heads taller…it’s skin smelled of burn and it felt awful to the touch…Kai shivered when the heavy burnt breath reached him as it pressed up against him from behind.

But slowly he felt the hands become smaller…softer…and he heard himself sigh in relief, Tala was going to be nice. His eyes followed Tala, sexy and pale, his skin practically glowing with the unseen light in the room and Tala’s breathing short and sexually charged,

“Did you have fun…?” ‘it’ mumbled, it’s voice going between decibels until it settled and Tala smiled, his pointed teeth revealing themselves in their charming way.
Kai just ‘humphed’ and he stared downward into Tala’s perfect forms eyes.

Tala slipped his hands around Kai’s upper torso under his arms, latching on and digging his blackened nails into Kai’s flesh. Kai made a grunting sound of pain, Tala also inflicted pain and he stared down as Tala ran his dark tongue over his pointed teeth as he smirked up at Kai.

Kai grabbed his hair tightly in two strong handfuls and he smiled down at Tala whose eyes narrowed but with intense lust,

“…you don’t have as much control as you like…bitch…” he said against Tala’s mouth now and he saw that familiar glint of arousal in Tala’s empty eyes, “…I’m gonna take it out of you tenfold…I’m gonna fuck you up…until I’m satisfied…” he yanked Tala hair and the other let out a shrill laugh that echoed around them until it was replaced with Tala’s moan.

Kai felt Tala’s soft naked flesh against his and he opened his mouth from his smile, teasing Tala’s mouth when it opened and Kai tickled his tongue over Tala’s lips before he plunged it into Tala’s mouth and pulled back biting violently so the supple flesh of Tala’s lips was exposed and bleeding.

There was another noise in the room just then and Kai recognized it as Tala’s more intimate noise he made as ‘it’ rather than a human.

Kai knew this would be a long night.

A long life time.
