"Slash's Captive" A Raphael X Reader Short Story (TMNT 2012)

-Giving In-

~Y\N's View~

Your eyes shoot open as you wake up gasping for air.
The faint smell of ammonia wafts into your nose while you inhale it, a burning pain enters in through your sinuses which travels down your throat.
You gag out of reflex on the pungent aroma as water glistens in your e\c eyes which blurs your vision.
You notice that you can't lift one of your eyelids more than halfway.
An uncomfortable sensation forms around your left eye and a grimace shows on your face.

"Rise and shine Sleeping Beauty."

An oh so familiar baritone voice rings in your ears.

Your heart skips a beat, panic rises inside you causing your breaths to come out quicker than usual.

The gas lingers in the air as you keep breathing it in.
Your mind becomes dizzy while you can't seem to make out your surroundings.
You close your eyes and focus your attention to slow down your rapid breathing so you don't hyperventilate.

A shudder escapes your lips, it isn't from the chill temperature rather it's the dread creeping into your stomach that you will be beaten by a senseless beast as you sense Slashs' figure hovering over you.

"We are goin' to be spending some quality time together and you're goin' to cooperate with me."

You attempt to move only to find your arms are positioned above your head.
A pair of steel cuffs tighten around your wrists, they dig into your raw skin and touch the bone.
You wince before biting on your tongue to contain a shout you want to let out.
Then you open one of your eyes, the right one and look down at yourself.
All you see is a blur and you have to blink a couple times to regain your vision.
It doesn't take long to see that you are being held upright with a meter of space between you and the ground below.

"Now here's what I want from ya, it isn't much really all you have to do is tell Raphael you don't want to be with him anymore and blame him for putting you through this." Slash says nonchalantly, a wicked smirk plasters on his face as he reaches out and grabs your chin while he forces you to look at him.

You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding in, it comes out shaky and uneven.

"A-And... if I don't?" You rasp, having to pause in your words to cough.

You begin to feel sick with apprehension.

"Why don't I show ya." Slash sneers, releasing his grasp on your chin before he walks to your left.

Your gaze darts and watch him come to a halt next to a wooden chair.

He grips the handle of a leather whip in his monstrous hand and struts back towards you.

You suck in a low gasp.

Your eye grows wide and your heart pounds at an unsteady rate in your chest, you make eye contact with the whip and stare at it as the vibration of the oversized mutant turtles' footsteps travel up the walls and into the chain which wraps around the shackles on your wrists.

Slash stops after a few paces as he draws back the whip into striking position before lowering it.

You close your eyes and anticipate to receive a blow.

A terrifying crack echoes off the walls of the room you're it.

You flinch at the loud sound while a silent whimper leaves your mouth.

After several seconds you open your eye, confused as to why you are not in pain.

"I'd hate to have to hurt a pretty girl like you but if ya don't do what I say I will make you, even if I have to beat it out of ya." Slash says in a dark and twisted manner, he chuckles seeing your face turn pale.
