Heaven Piercer

Bound

Were  you... Alive?
All you saw was darkness.
Maybe you really did di-

J: "How long till he wakes up?"

Scratch that.

V: "Bet the next worker I kill he'll be awake tomorrow."

J: "Meh, I bet he'll be awake within the hour or two."

After about a minute of silence, J spoke up again.

J: "I'm bored, I'll be hunting again."

V: "So I'm on watch duty till you get back? Pfft."

You still had your eyes closed, avoiding any movement.
You heard J's wings extend and eventually fly away, leaving you in the room with V.
With just the two of you, you couldn't exactly hide your breathing.

V: "You gonna say something?"

You laughed.

"Didn't think it would be so obvious."

Opening your eyes, you saw you were bound in a chair, using your own tail to tie your arms and you to the back of it. A single light above you illuminated the room, if only barely.
V stood on the outskirts of the light, the only part of her you could see was her "eyes." That enough, was terrifying. It felt really uncomfortable, like an interrogation.

"So... Uh, you guys had a plan or something?"

V: "J just told me to keep watch to that's what I'm gonna do."

"Wait hold on, this isn't some kind of hell?"

V: "Nope, you're alive and... Breathing. Human, and all that."

"Fuuuuck..."

"Why did you guys even keep me alive?"

V sighed audibly.

V: "Again, all J said was to keep watch."

You paused, looking at yourself the best you could.

"You didn't take my suit or helmet off?"

V: "J said you might not have clothes on under the suit, so she avoided it."

Huh, glad she's at least considerate.

"I'm glad she considered it, but I have the decency to keep them on."

"Actually, do you guys even consider clothes necessar-"

V: "Yes, we don't just go running around without clothes on!" 

"Interesting."

"Considering you kill people all the time, shouldn't ya get oil on your clothes all the time?"

V: "They're black for a reason."

"Damn, looks cool anyway."

"Where's N? He ratted me out, that piece of shit."

V: "Betrayed the company like you, ran with some worker drone called Uzi or something."

"In the bunker I presume?"

V: "Mhm."

"Do you even care about company loyalty?"

V: "Not really, but J scolds me if I don't show some kind of loyalty."

"Haha, knew it. J's weird as all hell."

Both of you just looked at each other in silence, eventually breaking the tension, you occasionally looked away at something else but there wasn't much to look at.

"Thought you guys would have raped me or something by now."

V looked at you, raising an eyebrow.
She then grinned and took a step towards you.

"What are you doing?"

She took another step.

"Hey, hey, it was a joke!"

Another.

"Y'know jokes? Like, haha, a joke?!"

Once more.

"V, the joke's not funny anymore, you can stop!"

Yet again.

"V?!"

Again.

"No,no,no,no,no,no, wait wait wait, WAIT WAIT WAIT!"

V stopped, her grin exploded into a smiled while she laughed.

V: "You thought I'd actually do something like that? You humans really are dumb."

You sighed in relief.

"You're uh... Special, so I didn't doubt it."

V: "How would I even do something like that?"

"I'd prefer to keep my mind out of the gutter."

"I'm hungry as all hell, can you fetch my pringles can that J kicked?"

V: "No."
V walked back to her original position in the shadows, leaning against the wall.

"Fuck, both of you are heartless."

You looked to the ground, despondent.
Why didn't you listen to some music, to pass the time?

"System, play "Bury The Light", Casey Edwards."

V: "..."
V stared at you, mainly in confusion. 

"System?"

Some garbled noise played from the interior of the helmet.
Was it broken?
Right as you were about to give up, the opening chords starting playing.
So the voice was broken, but not the storage system, huh?
You started humming along, eventually quietly singing the lyrics.

"Immoral temptation, takes over my mind."
"Condemned."
"Fallen weak on my knees, summon the strength, of mayhem."

V looked at you in slight annoyance, probably bothered by your singing.

"I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!"
"PROVOKING! BLACK CLOUDS IN ISOLATION!"
"I AM RECLAIMER OF MY NAME!"
"BORN IN FLAMES, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED! MY FAMILY CREST IS A DEMON OF DEATH!"
"FORSAKENED, I AM AWAKENED, A PHOENIX ASH IN DARK DIVINE!"
"DESENDING, MISERY! DESTINY CHASING TIME!"
"DISAPPEAR, INTO THE NIGHT!"
"LOST SHADOWS LEFT BEHIND!"
"OBSESIONS PULLING ME!"
"FADING I'VE COME TO TAKE WHATS LE-"

V: "Enough!"
You paused, panting.

V: "You're so annoying, can't you do something else?"

"Name one thing I can do with my hands tied."

V: "...Fair."

V: "I'll get your pringles or whatever, what does it look like?"

"It's in a small tube, you'll find it near my massive pool of blood in the snow."

(5 minutes later~)

V: "This it?"

"Yeah! Could you uh..."
You blushed a little bit.
"Feed me? I don't exactly have access to my arms right now."

V: "Fine."

V stood infront of you, putting a chip into your mouth.
You gracefully accepted it, savoring the flavor.
V stopped, she grabbed one more, this time inspecting it.

"Eat one, they taste pretty good."

She reluctantly put it in her mouth, slowly chewing it.
Her face lights up a bit after eating one.

V: "Woah, these are nice. I've only really ever drank oil but these are really good!"

She eagerly stuffed a few more into her mouth.

"V, Those are the only and what will probably the only pringles to ever grace the surface of this planet, don't you DARE eat them all. Let alone, right infront of me."

V: "Seeing how I got these, I'll be keeping them for myself."

"YOU INSIGNIFICANT FUCK!"
V giggled, slowly placing another chip into her mouth, showing off.

"I'LL POUND YOU INTO SILICON, MACHINE!"

This continued until the can was empty. You sat still, staring at the now empty can V tossed aside.  In the silence, J landed outside, walking into the pod. She briefly stopped, attempting to assess the situation from the look of you two.

V looked at you smugly in your despair. 

J: "What's going o-"

"Machine."
Your voiced dripped with malice and venom.

"I will cut you down, break you apart."

"Splay the gore of your profane form across the STARS!"

"I will grind you down until the very SPARKS CRY FOR MERCY!"

"MY HANDS SHALL RELISH  ENDING YOU!"

"HERE."

"AND."

"NOW!"

You stood up, hands still bound to the chair and charged towards V, knocking her to the ground.
In her confusion, you bashed yourself against a wall, breaking the chair and freeing your hands.
With your free fists, you repeatedly beat V's face in absolute rage. In your frenzy of blind anger, you didn't notice J go behind you.

J hit you with her own fist, knocking you into sleep once more.
