Circus[BOOK ONE]

Six

Sora shook in his cage frightened and asked again; "How...the hell do you know my name?!"

The room got dead silent as Nikias shifted to get comfortable and stared into Sora's eyes.

"As you can see, I am not normal and neither are you. You want to get out of here and as do I. Do not focus on the little. Focus on what matters in the now. We. Need. To. Get. Out. Of. Here." Nikias replied and crawled to the front of her cage gripping the bars. "A. S. A. P."

Sora stared into Nikias' eyes and he saw genuine determination. Sora nodded.

"H-How will we get outta here?" he asked calming down slightly.

"I know a few ways." Nikias replied calmly. Sora turned his head to the side slightly confused.

"Well, what are they?"

"Close your eyes."

Sora, in confusion and fear, did as he told closing his eyes slowly. Sora heard noises and felt an odd wind blow towards him. Whispers surrounded him as he closed his eyes tighter, a big boom sounded as he shook in his cage, the feeling of scratching started to crawl up Sora's arms. He got uncomfortable from the feeling.

"Open your eyes."

Sora did as he was told, his eyes widening in shock.

"W-We're free??" he asked looking around. Everything was disheveled and messy, their cages were blown to bits and there were light in the room, such odd light. Gloomy light, focused on Nikias. Nikias nodded her head walking towards Sora holding her hand out. As Sora watched her walk towards him, he noticed something, Nikias was beautiful, even with a mask over her mouth and cuffs over her wrists, she was beautiful to him. Sora grabbed for her hand, feeling sparks surged through him with her very touch. Sora was pulled up with brute force and he was soon eye to eye with Nikias. He whispered; "Woah."

Sora was pretty sure Nikias smiled as her eyes shined with determination.

"Ready, Sora??" she asked him. Sora nodded trying not to blush as their eyes never broke contact.

"M-Mhm." Sora replied smiling slightly and finally broke the eye contact.

"Good, cause here they come."

"Wh-Wha--"

Soon the people in the lab-coats came in sounding an absurdly siren. Sora looked at Nikias quickly. His eyes widened, Nikias' mask was off as her eyes grew to the bloodiest of red, he was shocked. Nikias turned to Sora smiling her grew in fangs, sharp as a chainsaw's blades, and grabbed Sora's hand.

"Ready, Sora?" she asked calmly. Oddly from her vicious smile full of blood lust, Sora calmed down nodding his head.

"I'm ready." he said grabbing confidence. A strong painful piercing feeling was into Sora's chest. He gasped from pain looking into Nikias' eyes. Her eyes a dark red and her smile was now a frown. Sora, afraid out of his mind, asked; "What's going on??"

Nikias gave Sora a reassuring smile, that he thought only Yumi could do. Soon all the pain in Sora's chest left him, his eyesight growing hazy.

"You sure you're ready, Sora?" Nikias asked as he fell to the ground looking up at her face. He smiled a 'I'm leaving in style' smile holding Nikias' hand.

"Yes."

Soon Sora's eyelids grew heavy with tiredness as he watched Nikias fight off the people. Nikias turned having a person in a headlock.

"I'll be waiting for you." Nikias said snapping the person's neck and ripped off his head with her brute force, drinking the blood of the headless body. Sora nodded closing his eyes, entering the everlasting darkness. Well, what he thought is surely mistaken.
