Obsession

Moment Of Vulnerability

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't annihilate you."

Oh my gosh, Scorpion was talking to me. I bit my lip and tried to keep from smiling because I knew that he'd probably stab me. His arms were crossed, which only terrified me but also intrigued me. He was so freaking...ahhh jeez, I just wanted to poke him. 

"Speak!" He shouted.

I jumped in fear because of the power in his demonic voice, closed my eyes, and looked down. Holy goodness, I was in trouble. Scorpion being incredibly sexy didn't mean that he was incredibly charming. I put my hands behind my back and took a small step away from him. This seemed to piss him off even more because the next thing I felt were his fingers wrapping around my neck. 

"Aah-" I managed to breathe out before realizing that his face was just a bare inch away from mine.

"How did you get here." He hissed, his grip on my neck tightening. 

I attempted to pry his hands off of me because I needed air. I wasn't getting what I needed. I gulped and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to respond but couldn't because the guy was crushing my windpipe! He shook me rather violently and a small yelp managed to escape my throat. The next thing I felt was something sharp against my left cheek.

"P...Please..." I choked out, clawing at his hand. "C...can't...breathe..."

He didn't seem to give a damn, which really scared the shit out of me. He only tightened his grip on my neck and that's when I started to see tiny black spots. If he didn't let go, I would pass out, and the Oni would probably get a poor but acceptable meal out of me.

"S....Sc....Scor....Scorpi....Scorpion...." I gasped pleadingly. 

His angered expression relaxed slightly, then only increased as I felt the tip of the sharp object puncture itself in to my right cheek.

"How do you know my name. TALK!"

He shook me and I squeaked like a defenseless mouse. 'I would tell you, but you're slowly killing me!' 

The black dots were looking pretty inviting as they got bigger and bigger. My eyesight began to get unclear and I felt myself slowly begin to drift off. Before I could do that however, he removed his hand from my neck and just allowed the rest of my body to slump to the cracked, humid ground. I heard a thick sigh escape from him and after several minutes, my body was slung carelessly over his shoulder, his hand on my back to keep me balanced. He was walking...but where to? I just closed my eyes, allowed my blood to rush to my head, and slept. Before I could actually get some decent shut eye however, I felt my body hit the rough terrain. Too weak to actually do anything about it, I groaned and began to cough rather violently. Now that his death grip had been released, I just started to notice that I could breathe again. 

'Smoke...Sub-Zero...' My mind weakly wandered to them, wondering what they were doing now...Smoke should come looking for me, right? He was in the bathroom, and although he had a big room that didn't mean that he couldn't hear the little things. What about Sub-Zero? I know that he sent this, 'I don't care about you' vibe, but I had that feeling that he was lying to himself. I had this feeling inside me where whenever I was in danger, he would jump up and save me. 

'I need you now...'  My mind chanted, I closed my eyes hoping that they would somehow hear me. 

Was I happy to see Scorpion? Hell yes. Do you recall how I mentioned that he scared me more than Shao Kahn did? You should. 

I heard his footsteps approach me and I froze. What was he going to do...

"Get up." He demanded.
