Chapter 23

'No where to run now sweety.' He made a wild slash at my face, ripping the healing patch away, three long gashes ran across my face, oozing with blood. I looked more and more disheveled as I struggled against the handcuffs. The metal tightened against my wrists as I fought back, cutting deep into my skin. 'Keep your gu-' I took the opportunity when he was distracted and kicked him in the shin. His grip loosen around my neck and I made a dash for the exit.

It wasn't easy to run without the help of my arms. It was a bold move, bud sadly a mistake. I got pinned down against the couch, my face pressed hard into a pillow, obstructing my breathing. There was no air. I tried to push my head back but the Seizer had all his body weight on me.

I gasped loudly, choking for air as I felt my head being pulled back up by my short hair. 'Huttens, you've got me now.' I glared at him as the Seizer led me towards him. 'Finish me off.'

'No no!' Huttens said, twirling a small card between his fingers, a smile playing at his lips. He inserted the card through a slot in the wall and a door revealed itself to slide away. Behind it was a glass-encased room. A frail-looking man was lying on a bed in the middle of the room. He looked almost dead. 'Things are going to get a little more interesting. And you know me. I prefer my killings to be more...fun! Come here now.' He snatched me up roughly, wringing his one of his beefy arms around my neck. 'You see this?' He held up a sharp golden dagger in front of me. 'The tip contains a deadly poison. Struggle and one little slip, one little mishap and you'll be kissing your life goodbye. Don't want that now, do we?' He had just placed the blade on my skin.

'What are you planning?' My brow furrowed even more. I was getting worried about what he was going to do.

'Be patient! You'll love it!' Huttens said enthusiastically. 'Keep your guns locked on that door.' He ordered the Seizers and they all gave him a uniformed nod.

Footsteps reverberated through the floors and I was getting more and more anxious by the second. A figure burst through the door and there stood Harry, skidding to a halt, his curls swept to one side. He looked around and his gaze stopped on me. 'Azelynne,' He groaned. I couldn't blame him, I felt frustrated at myself too. 'Didn't I tell you to stay put?' I gave him an apologetic look but he shot me a reassuring look. He pulled out a gun, aiming at Huttens. 'Let her go.' Harry spoke to Huttens.

'Now.' Huttens gave a small nod of his head and all the Seizers fired at the same time. Everything seemed to have stopped. I couldn't hear anything else but my screams. Lying a crumpled heap on the floor, Harry had been shot multiple times. 'Harry!!!' I yelled, trying to break free of Huttens grasp.

'Quiet!' He snapped and pressed the knife harder against my throat, making it hard for me to speak. I watched in horror as Harry's body started shaking violently on the ground. 'Nano-chips.' Huttens said softly. 'My invention. The formula inserts a few thousands of Nano-chips into his body and attaching themselves to his nerve cells. I've finally perfected it. He won't stand a chance against a dozen times of his usual dosage.' Harry stopped twitching and laid motionless, his green eyes staring up into the ceiling. 'He will do whatever I tell him to.' Huttens voice was full of triumph.

Harry got to his feet and I noticed that his green eyes were slowly getting dilated with a murky black, spreading around like ink. 'Harry?' I looked at him in dismay. His face was stone cold and expressionless, looking at me without giving me any response.

'Shoot her.' Huttens said gleefully, holding me in front of him, making me an easier target. 'Don't you dare try anything funny.' He leered in my ear as he placed the tip of the dagger behind my back, prodding it sharply. For a moment there, I thought Huttens had got it wrong. Harry didn't budge. 'Kill her.' Huttens repeated in a firm tone.

My heart sank further as Harry took slow step towards me, holding his gun up, aiming at my forehead. One pull of the trigger and I was a goner. 'Harry...Harry, listen to me. Fight back. Don't let him get into your mind. Harry, stop and look at what you're doing. Please...' My lips quivered as I pleaded softly, trying to search for any signs of the real Harry in is eyes. 'Harry, it's me! Don't listen to him. I know you're in there Harry, somewhere in there. I-I-I...' No words seem to want to come out of my mouth.

Huttens cruel laugh echoed in my ear. 'He can't hear you. There is no one to save you now. Won't you just love to see his face when he realizes what he will have done? I know I will. Sadly, you'll be dead by then.' I hissed and tried to bite his arm. He tightened his grip around my neck and I had to keep my hands pulling on his arms so he wouldn't suffocate me.

'I'm sorry, Harry!' I spoke with much difficulty, still trying to wrestle out of Huttens' grip. 'Maybe you can hear me...maybe you can't, but I just want you to know something. I don't care if you are listening or not, if these are the last words I'm going to say, it'd be for you. It was real for me too. I felt it too.' I closed my eyes and waited. My body relaxed and I no longer struggled.

'Shoot!' Huttens barked.

Bang! I heard the gun being fired. Everything slowed down for me. My heart was pounding so hard against my chest it ached. Something was pulling me down. I was falling backwards. I yelped loudly as I crashed on something soft and fleshy. 'Ack!' I spat out the blood in my mouth. My tongue was bleeding where I had accidentally bit on whilst falling.

'Hold your fire.' A Seizer said.

I glanced down at the person beneath. 'Huttens!' I was a little shocked to find his eyes gazing endlessly up the ceiling, no breathing or pulse could be detected. His forehead literally had a hole where he was shot and was bleeding. Grinning slightly, I looked up to find Harry smiling down at me, his dazzling green eyes shone brightly. 'Hey, Harold.' My grin grew wider and finally I let out a laugh of relief. He was dead! Finally Huttens was dead. 'I thought I lost you.'

He tilts he head sidewards and flashed a big smile, showing off his dimples as he ruffled up my short hair. 'For a moment there, I thought so too.' Harry kneeled down and offered me his hand, taking my hand in his.

I tried to stand when I felt a stabbing pain in my chest. 'Harry!' I yelled and fell back, hyperventilating. 'I-I can't get up. Harry, I can't get up!' I grimaced and tried to move my body around. 'He has got me.' I felt the blade sinking deeper into my flesh, piercing my heart. The poison was quickly seeping through my bloodstream and evading the blood cells. I can feel the blood soaking through my clothes and trickling onto the floor. 'I...' My vision was blurring and everything seemed to be locked out.

'Aze!' Harry fell beside me, his smile faded, and held up my head. 'You can't leave me now. Don't close your eyes. Don't!' His shouts were strangely muffled, I couldn't really hear what he said.

'Harry...I can't feel my arms or legs...' I mumbled as his cheeks were pressed up against mine. I was taking short gulps of air. I couldn't breathe. Every breath I took was bated. I couldn't move my body without experiencing excruiciating pain. My ability to think was also fading. There just wasn't enough oxygen getting to my brain. 'It's so cold.'

'You're going to be okay.' Harry was muttering things in my ear as he wrapped his arms around me in an attempt to keep me warm. 'You're gonna be fine. I promise.' He pressed his lips on my temple, caressing my cheeks and stroking my hair. 'I need medic!' He cried, cradling my head back and forth. He shouted for help but I couldn't make out a word he said anymore. A loud ringing was buzzing in my ear.

'Harry......'
