The Unchanged Fate

Chapter 13 Carving Feast

~Asher's Pov:~

I woke up to Kana's screams. I quickly raised my head up, looking around for the blueneet. To see she was tied up, right next to the pole beside me. "Itsuki! You bastard!" I screamed out to him. He just chuckled. He started to raise her shirt up, then looked at me, as I gritted my teeth. "Sorry, Mr. Asher!" He said sarcastically, while rolling his eyes. It makes me disgusted if I think he's going to do what I think he is. 'I need to help her!' I thought silently to myself. I saw the knife in his hand.. "Itsuki?" I called, he groaned. "W-what are you going to do with that knife?" I choked out. He just smirked.

He looked at me, then smiled, as he said these words... "To make a piece of art, you require a reference." He then looked back down at Kana, where her open stomach was laid in front of him.

What does he mean by that?! I looked over at my Kana, to see her struggling, trying to get away. I think deep down, she knows she can't escape. But Kana always tries her hardest, even in the most impossible situations. I then start to notice my surroundings. Which I should have done first, but Kana is my first priority. I see Hazel and Shin... They were last to be in the room with them. But I notice something is off. With Hazel, there always seems to be Gray, lurking around the corner, or just clinging to her. Where is he now though? I then hear Kana's screams. "Kana?!" I called out to her. "Y-yes," she stuttered, obviously trying to hide the fact she's in pain. I sighed out of relief, knowing she's still alive.

"Kana," Hazel said, smiling out of relief she was also alive. I heard a slight groan from Shin. 'Glad he's alive,' I thought as I mentally smiled. Itsuki groaned, as we're having our little moment. "Shut the hell up!" He yelled at all of us, all of us jumping out of fear. "Who next wants to become my little piece of artwork?!" He said happily, raising both arms up, as you can clearly see the bloody knife that held Kana's blood. He put his arms down, and wiped the blood off onto his shirt. We all looked at him weird. "What?" He arched an eyebrow. "I'm not going to kill you by mixing your blood together," he scoffed. "That's child play! Amatures work! Not me though." He stated proudly. I gave him a disgusted look. He looked down at me. "Asher? Would you like to be my next canvas?!" I shook my head 'no' over and over again. But the word "no," they're not in my cards, are they? He started walking towards me, as I tried and struggled against the rope he had tied me with.

"To make a piece of art, you require a reference. My reference was Kana, you're the final draft!" He said, laughing real hard. He then raised my shirt up, I'm still struggling against him/the rope. I then felt the knife come in contact with my bare skin. He started pushing on my skin. Yes, I'm a hunter, I hunt animals though! Not humans! I felt the warm sensation of blood trickle down my skin. Kana's voice is hoarse, trying to call out to my name. Which is hard for her, due to the fact she just got carved into. "AHHH!" I screamed out in pain, once he started carving something else into me. It felt like forever. The more he carved into me, the more my vision got blurry, my voice getting hoarse as I screamed out. He carved into me longer than Kana.. Glad though. Glad she didn't have to go through worse pain then she had already tonight.

The blood I lost, the more I lost my vision, and my voice went out...

~Kana's Pov:~

I kept screaming out to Asher and Suki. The more I screamed the more he carved into him. So I stopped screaming. But he kept carving. He was carving Asher like a pumpkin. He lost way more blood than me, how the hell are we going to get out, if two people can barely walk. Even more so Asher... I feel so bad for him. Why can't we switch spots?! I looked over at Hazel and Shin. Shin was awake, but looking shocked from the scene in front of him. Hazel looked like she was in a burst of tears, scared, and shocked. Like a little child. Speaking of children, where's Gray? "Hazel?" I asked, getting her attention right away. She arched an eyebrow like usual. "Where's Gray?" I slightly mumbled. She looked down, as I saw a tear come down from her eye. "He's dead." She plainly stated, not looking me in my eyes. I gasped. "What?!" I wanted to cry. Gray was so sweet, so wholesome. He was still so new to the cruel world. He had so much hope going for him. And Itsuki took that away from him?! Bastard!
