Choose Me {KH Vanitas Story}

Chapter 11: Rescue

*~*~*~*~*~* Trigger Warning

Seifers hand slipped under my shirt and I felt the cloth tickle my body as he slipped it off effortlessly. I was aware that only my bra was visible to him now as more tears slipped from the corners of my eyes.

Those flashbacks came to my head with quick precision. I remembered every detail of the events that took place in my past, I remembered every name of those who had taken advantage of me; a young orphan girl who no one loved. I wanted to simply burst out in sobs, I wanted to fight back.

I simply couldn't.

Seifer placed a hand around my neck and squeezed just slightly, but all the sudden his grip was released. The bed rocked violently as Seifers body weight was shifted off of me and I heard several thuds slamming into the ground. I wish I could have looked over to see what was happening, but all I could do was move my eyes towards the noise as I laid on my back helplessly.

"How fucking dare you! You put your fucking hands on her! Your disgusting filthy rapist hands!"

With each insult came the sound of skin to flesh, and I immediately recognized the voice of vexation coming from the foot of the bed.

'Vanitas!'

I roared his name inside my head with an overwhelming emotion that was oh so grateful he arrived. The boys both jumped to their feet and from my position I could see the brawl happening before me. Seifer had blood dripping down his face already, and I could only imagine what Vanitas did after he tackled him to the ground.

Vanitas was just a blur of motion; wearing pure black including some sort of hood that he had resting on his head. He swung a punch towards his opponent and Seifer was sent stumbling backwards yet caught his balance. Vanitas didn't leave a second for breathing before he charged at him again and forced Seifer to slam into the bedroom wall. The drywall crumbled from the impact, and Seifer grabbed Vanitas's throat and attempted to choke him. Vanitas quickly had his hands around Seifers arm and pried them off his neck, using momentum to throw Seifer to the side and maintained distance.

Seifer began laughing with amusement, a terrifying grin plastered on his face like a psychopath. Blood dripped down his face and stained his teeth, making his smile all the more hysterical.

"You know she asked for this right? She practically jumped into my arms because you weren't man enough to handle her!"

"Shut the fuck up!" Vanitas already had enough of the nonsense, his voice was spitting with deadly venom as Seifer taunted him.

He roared a livid roar and charged for Seifer one last time. I heard a loud 'crack!' as Vanitas dealt a finishing blow and sent Seifer sprawled on the ground. Before I could comprehend what was happening, Vanitas scooped me up from the bed bridal style and cradled me in his arms. Another wave of nausea hit me when he began running; running down the hall, down the stairs, and out of the house.

With what little movement I could make I nestled my face against his chest, breathing in his woodland sage scent I never caught onto until now. That scent kept me grounded for that moment as he dashed as far from the house as possible, keeping me close against his body. Finally feeling safe, I closed my eyes...

"No, you stay awake." Vanitas urged as he gave my limp body a gentle shake. "I'm taking you to my place and getting that shit out of your body. Speaking of..."

His pace slowed to a stop and he suddenly began making awkward movements. I felt as if he was going to drop me, but even so he ensured to keep me in his arms. I couldn't wrap my head around how he managed such a feat, but I found his hoodie slipping over my head as he covered the upper half of my body; the half that was almost exposed. He pulled the hood over my head and prevented me from seeing the outside world. Whether that was his intention or not I didn't know, but I was relieved to see his face softening as he looked down at me.
