The bond that tied us forever

Part 1 ~ tears and blood

Hawkins lab is massacred. Doctor Brenner ran away for his life. Now 001 is facing El.

Tears were falling down her face, as 001 was holding her in the air, 3 feet from the ground. She was kicking and shaking at first, trying so hard to resist his iron grip but she could feel her body slowly loosing its strenght and she felt her limps going numb.
„Is this how it's gonna end? Tore apart by the only person who treated me like a human and not like an insect?" she thought to herself.
Her lungs started to burn as she tried to gasp for an air, but she couldn't. He held her too tight. When she looked him in the eyes, she saw all the anger, rage, and pain that he buried within himself for years but now it was all free of its prison, and it was devouring him. Maybe it was because of the lack of oxygen, but suddenly she had a feeling that she also saw the incredible amount of pain that his actions were causing him. He was terrifying.
Her vision was already going dark but then she heard a loud heartbreaking cry, not sure if it came from her. The world went dark.

But it was not the end. She woke up, confused, and her eyes couldn't believe the sight. 001 was holding her in his arms, blood streaming from his eyes and nose, and he was shaking. Slowly, he put up his arm and with little hesitation, he ran his fingers through her short hair.
And then he finally spoke.
„I apologize little one. But some unexpected things had happened. You might understand one day and I'll tell you when you're ready. But for now, all you need to know, that this had never happened. I never hurt you. Forget all this hell, bury it deep in your memory as we'll burn this place to the ground. This connection..." he paused, his eyes darted across her fragile body, almost as she was a porcelain doll with cracks „... Is unlike anything I've felt before. We belong together, I'll show you."
Then he put his finger onto her forehead. Eleven, shocked and helpless, could feel the warm from his warm touch spreading through her head. Like a blessing, or like a poison. She could feel him pulling away her fear, drifting away her sence, her nonsence, her memories...., suddenly she felt like floating in an ocean, blurry, faded, so lost.
The only thing that was constantly flicking in her mind was a vision of young man with long blonde hair and those steel cold eyes... she know she would be safe with him, she felt the bond now too.
