Beautiful Dream or Cursed Reality? Sukuna Fanfiction

Chapter Twenty-Six

     I trembled slightly as the man came into my cell, he was unarmed as far as I could tell, and the fact that he felt safe enough to come in unarmed was the only thing I felt good about right now. As much as I wanted Sukuna to swoop in and save me, I knew that what I had said about him had been true. I would definitely have to get out of this situation myself. I had heard at least three separate male voices while I was in the cell. One unarmed man wouldn't be too difficult to knock out, but if the other two had weapons, then it would be more difficult, and even more so if they were stocked up for Sukuna.

     I had to think quickly, every second brought this revolting man closer to me, I had a pillow...hitting him with it wouldn't cause any damage, but it may catch him by surprise for long enough that I could punch him in the balls and sprint out of the cell. If I was going to knock him down, i'd have to knock him unconscious as well, so he wouldn't make any noise that would get the other men coming this way.

     Grabbing the pillow, I smacked him as hard as I could across the face, bringing my knee up into his groin which effectively brought him down to the ground. Jumping behind him, I wrapped my arms around his neck and twisted as hard as I could. Hearing a snapping sound, I was satisfied in letting him slump to the ground. My first obstacle was cleared, I needed a weapon of some sort if I was going to even think about making it out of here unscathed.

     Use the cursed energy, kitten. It's coursing through your veins. MY power is coursing through you, so use it. I heard the echo of Sukuna's voice in my head. Rolling my eyes I opened the cell door. What a dumbass, didn't even lock it behind him. Peeking my head out, I didn't see anyone in the hallway, but I did see a handgun. I grabbed it, hoping it was loaded. Slowly moving down the hallway, eyes and ears on high alert.

     They really had hardly any security, especially if they were really waiting for Sukuna. I expected there to be more people around, but it was deathly silent, so quiet that I could almost hear the heartbeats of mice I was sure were running around. This was way too easy. I spotted a doorway down the next hallway, no security by that door either.

     Either these guys really underestimated Sukuna, or they really believed he wouldn't actually come. Meanwhile their buddy was dead in the cell that I was supposed to be in, sooner or later I'm sure someone would come looking for him and find him dead, with me gone. Hopefully by then I'd have found a way out of this hell hole.

     Turning the doorknob on the new door, it too was unlocked, and surprise, nobody was on the other side either. This room had another door, hopefully one that led outside. I slowly crept towards the door. Also unlocked. As I opened it, I felt the cool night breeze against my face. Finally, I was outside. That was way too easy, figuring out where I was, and where I needed to go, now that would be more difficult.

     It looked like I was in the middle of nowhere, there had to be some sort of transportation. I mean, I was brought here in a vehicle. As I turned the corner, I saw a body lying on the ground. Slowly creeping towards it, I noticed the man was definitely dead, and it looked as though his heart had been ripped out of his chest. Smooth Sukuna. Way to be inconspicuous. At the same time I was happy that he had actually come looking for me.

     The best way to find him now was to just follow the trail of dead bodies. I heard some yelling from inside the building and decided to follow the noise. It sounded panicked, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. As the voices grew louder, I heard Sukuna yelling.

     "WHERE IS SHE?!" His voice was angry, more than I had ever heard it before. My blood ran cold at the sound of it, but my feet kept moving forward. It was almost deafening by the time I peeked around the corner and saw a very angry, very bloodsoaked, Sukuna. Maybe I could reach out to him with my mind, we did after all share blood.

     I don't know if you can hear me, Sukuna. I'm okay. I'm right behind you. I peeked my head around the corner, just in time to catch him looking back towards me. His eyes softened for a second before ripping the man in front of him in half. I walked around the corner towards him. "I honestly didn't think you'd show up." I half smirked.

     "And let you have all the fun with a maze full of men? I don't think so, kitten." He smiled before pulling me against his chest.
