It had been quiet, painfully quiet for Kain as he slowly regained strength from his ordeal. Before he knew it though gas began pouring in, a gas very familiar to the furred creature. He held his breath at first but eventually was forced to breathe in the fumes, causing it's effects to slowly seep into place. During his last waking moments he fell on his knees, coughing and fighting to stay awake until darkness consumed him.
He only got a few moments of consciousness to realize the guards were dragging him somewhere, where that was the lycan did not know until he was tossed inside the room like the mistreated lrisoner he was. It took a long minute for him to get on his hands and knees, panting softly as he scanned his surroundings.
Daniel looked at the note, and then at the ceiling where the gas was being poured from. He read the note quickly, making it to the end just as the gas was starting to take effect. He pounded at the wall over and over, hoping it would break so that he could see Kaori again, but it was no use. Within an instant, he was out.The vampire awoke a while later to the sound of someone panting. He tried to look up, but it was mostly blurry. He did, however, make out a figure standing up. It looked horrid. Some kind of massive, blurry creature. Was this another torture technique? Was he going to be eaten alive from some kind of carnivore? The thoughts swirled in his mind as he tried to break free of his restraints. He opened his mouth to yell, to scream, to beg for some kind of mercy, but no sound came out, save the small, scratchy sound of air being forcefully pushed out of his throat. he thought to himself,
Kain squinted his eyes and glanced over at a strange sound nearby. His eyes laid on the figure until his head cleared to give him a face. He stared in disbelief but when he sniffed the air a drifting familiar scent had reached his nose, one he had known since the beginning of his cooperation with the humans. "Daniel..." The lycan whispered under his breath, it was loud enough for the vampire to hear though.
The vampire looked over at the figure again, still struggling against the restraints. His vision started to clear up, and the creature took the shape of a lycan. Daniel blinked a couple of more times, and the lycan became more visible. It was Kain; someone else he hadn't seen in a long while. The vampire struggled once more against the restraints and then finally stopped. He opened his mouth to speak, but again the same small sound came out of his throat.
Seeing how the vampire reacted to his name was a positive result for the lycan. He smiled and stood up, walking over to the boy then stopping, remembering the vampire was in chains. "Daniel.. Why are you in chains and I am not?" He knew there was some sick ploy being played somewhere, but he didn't know what. The lycan simply sighed and walked up to the restrained long lost friend, looking over his chains. Deep inside him he didn't believe it, and assumed it was another one of those guard's illusion torture sessions. He without thinking placed one of his massive paws on Daniel's cheeks, his crimson red eyes peering into the pair of ex-human eyes before him.
Daniel looked into the lycans eyes, waiting for him to do something. He didn't want to be tortured, but it had to be done, or else both of them would get it. After closing his eyes for a moment, he remembered he could communicate through thought. He would have hit his forehead if he could. Listen to me, Kain. I know you don't want to torture me, but you have to. It won't be anything new to me. If you don't, they'll probably torture us double, and I cannot go through that again. So pick those damn tools up and go through with it already!
Kain stared at Daniel and hung his head low, regretfully nodding to Daniel's command. "I wish it was the other way around... Daniel its good to see you're alive. I am sorry we had to reunite like this." The Lycan said, not looking into the vampire's eyes anymore out of pure hatred for himself. He casted his eyes over the tools, putting his game plan together, he was going to hurt Daniel as much as he had to, no more, no less. "Is... Kaori okay? Mike and his family? Al?"
Daniel just watched Kain as he looked over to the tools, then closed his eyes and readied himself. Kaori is fine, for the most part. She was in the cell next to me. I got to exchange a few... written messages before they gassed us and put us in here. I don't know about Alfons. I don't know about Mike, or his family. How are you? I don't even remember getting here. I haven't seen any of you guys since that guy on the tv screen told me to come here. I think he has the power to manipulate, like The Manager... A small laugh (if you could even call it that; it sounded more like a soft wheeze and a couple of puffs of air) escaped the vampire's lips. I cant even believe I am saying this, but I wish I was back in the hotel. I mean, at least there I had a shower, and working water; actual clean, working water, food, anything I wanted. Plus, I wasn't being tortured every day... Speaking of torture, just get it over with already...[\i]
Kain nodded and decided to keep his messages internally between himself and Daniel, keeping his words to his thoughts. [i]Usual, tortured until I can no longer stand, thrown into cell, recover, repeat. A slight smirk grew on his face as he took up a fairly decent knife, the only thing that didn't look like it was use to tear a body apart. The lycan lifted the knife infront of him then looked down at Daniel, a sense of vengeance in his eyes. I will kill that man for taking the freedom we fought for away... No matter what his reasoning is. He sighed and approached Daniel, hovering the blade over the vampire's neck. "Are you ready Daniel?"
He didn't give the vampire time to respond, knowing that talking would break his focus. The lycan put himself to the awful task of torturing the vampire, digging the sharp edge of the knife into the boy's skin and dragging it down his neck to his chest with a movement that was painfully slow. It took him a full minute to draw a cut in such a short distance, letting the smell of blood reach the vampire.
There he stopped but could tell Daniel was wanting him to continue. Taking a deep, shuddering breath the Lycan drew a canvas onthe Vampire's body with the knife before setting the knife aside, taking up a pair of tweezers afterwards. He was worried the blood would drive Daniel crazy but expected it, grabbing one of Daniel's fingernails with the took in his hands. He mouthed a countdown with his back turned away from anything other than the man before giving the nail a yank, treating it off of Daniel's middle finger without a, hint of hesitation. Feeling that he satisfied whoever was watching Kain went back to the,tools, staring down at them with a hint of anger surrounding him... It was quite obvious he was more pissed off than fearful of his captors due to their sick conditions they had thrusted upon him.
