Fangs

Chapter 3

Kimi

It's been three months since Rido stole me from Kaname, three months since he injured Ayame, three months since he locked me away in a room with no windows and barley any furniture. There was a bed, a desk and chair, a small wooden bookcase with only half of it full and tatty books, and finally, a single door with no handle on the inside but a single lock which I couldn't even peek through. Why would he deprive me of everything I had left to then put me in such a depressing place? Why did he want to make Kaname suffer even more? He already suffered enough when he watched Rido kill our father, especially at such a young age. Then, he hits his best friend, almost killing her. It was as if he wanted to see Kaname suffer. And to top it all off, he stole me from Kaname's arms, his strong, loving arms. I punched the dreary grey wall. I may only be eleven but I'm a strong child and Rido knows that so it looks like we both know that I would have escaped, that's why he locked me up in such a secure room.

I collapsed on my bed, it was boring. I thought I was beginning to go crazy because there was absolutely nothing to do. I couldn't read the books, they were unreadable! I couldn't read the smudged words, the pages were torn and they were rotting away. I couldn't draw and there were no toys, it was as if it was a death sentence to boredom! I sighed long and hard, my eyelids felt heavy and I could feel my body preparing to shut down for sleep. Just as I thought I was going to shut down completely, I heard the old door creek open which made me sit up in an instant. I saw Rido shut the door and lock it behind him, and when I did, my heart began to race. What was he doing here? What was he planning on doing? I began to back myself up against the backboard of the bed as he drew closer to the foot of it. Rido grinned and was suddenly right in front of my face, I could feel is breath. His horrible smelly breath. I scrunched my face up and narrowed my eyes which made him laugh. "Oh Kimi, I'm glad I chose you," I could feel his hand stroke my hair. "But you won't obey me, and that's a shame..." He paused. "For you."

My heart pounded against my chest, as if it were to pop out at any second. I finally brought myself to speak, although it was quite shaky. "W-what do you m-mean?"

The man chuckled deeply, looking down as he did so, then looked back up, staring into my eyes. "Kimi..." He breathed. "You do make me laugh. I'm glad I chose you instead of Yuki...but, since you won't obey me then I will make you..."

I swear my heart stopped for a few moments, I was scared and I was not afraid to admit it. I raised my hand to slap his face away but he grabbed and held it firmly against the backboard. I then raised my other hand but he put his knee against it, why his knee though? Why not his other hand? Rido leaned closer and I felt his hand on my forehead, I began to feel weak and I was forgetting things. My memories. He was erasing my memories. I wanted to shout at him, I wanted him to get off and I wanted to run away, into Kaname's arms into an embrace. But I knew better and I knew that my sweet fantasy wasn't going to happen. Instead, I stopped struggling and let myself slip away into a world of darkness and the last thing I heard was Rido's deep, evil laugh...
