Soul Bonds

Chapter One

Alright guys just a fair warning this book is not for the faint of heart. So if you can't handle it then read something you can. I'm a blunt person with very strong opinions. One of which is I believe if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it. I can take criticism to help me grow as a person and writer but none that are just being said to hurt feeling. Respect is something I value highly as well. Thanks for all who are respectful. Have a great day guys and hope you enjoy my story!

*****************************************************************************************************

I started to awaken but I couldn't understand. Everything was confusing, everything was hazy. Voices reached my ear but they sounded so far away. Trying to move I found all my limbs were restrained. Panic started to set in as I remembered the darkness. I was grabbed and stuck with a needle... then nothing. My heart beat against my chest as though it was trying to burst from my chest. I didn't want to open my eyes, I just wanted to stay asleep. Clenching my jaw I knew it was pointless.

Whatever was happening to me, I didn't have a choice in the matter.

I forced my eyes open quickly, like ripping off a band aid. The light blinded me making me close my eyes again.

"She is awake" I gruff female voice informed the others in the room.

"Doesn't matter" a man answered. "All she is, is a lab rat, no need for it to be awake."

"But that will take away all the fun" a male voice commented making shivers run down my spine. The fear paralyzed me as footsteps slowly walked towards me.

The man who called me a lab rat grunted before I heard him retreat, then a door open and close. "Don't make too much of a mess" the woman ordered. "I hate cleaning up your messes."

"No promises sweet cheeks" the man giggled as I felt a rough hand skim my face. I jerked away and he laughed "oh she is going to be so much fun..." his voice got closer. I tried to move away but his dry lips touched my ear. "I can just" his tongue flicked out and licked my ear lobe "taste it." I squeezed my eyes tighter and had to use all my strength to keep myself from screaming.

"I shouldn't even bother" the woman muttered before leaving. I knew then, that any horror I faced in that house would not even be able to be compared to what was about to happen. The pain, the fear, this time I knew I will not be able to survive it.

"Well my angel, lets get started" he spoke so softly. His hands ran down my body that was stiff with pure fear. "Yes, you will be the one to become the best. You'll be my special, beautiful little angel." He stepped away for a moment before I felt my arm being grabbed. "Now let's begin shall we" something sharp went into my skin. It felt like fire shot through my whole body. I jerked up my eyes opening from the immense pain and I couldn't stop the scream tearing out of my throat. Dull brown eyes stared at me as he grinned at me. His face the sharp cheek bones and jaw line. The scarring on the left side of his face, the scared line across his throat. The desire of my pain, the need of my fear that showed on every muscle on his face; I knew I could never forget him. I was burning alive from the inside out but I found that the fear of him was more powerful than the pain.

My body slowly slumped back onto the cold hard surface I laid on. His eyes observed everything "how do you feel?"

I huffed and I decided I wasn't just a lab rat. I didn't want this to happen to me for no reason. No, I was done being a docile little rat. After all, rat have some sharp teeth and claws. "Fuck you" I growled turning the fear into rage.

His lips peeled back showing perfect white teeth. I was expecting anger but my blood went cold as excitement took over his expression. I fought back the fear but it was to much. It leaked through my expression and I knew he saw it.

"Good, very good" his hands cupped my face as I struggled to get out of his hold. His face got closer "I love it when they fight" his voice got husky as his lips smashed onto mine. I grunted before I slammed my head into his. His body shook and he didn't pull back like I thought. He got closer moving one hand up to press onto my forehead. It felt like hours before he moved back. "Your amazing. I was right your the best I ever had" his fingers traced down my neck. I glared up at him and did my best to bury the fear. "Don't worry I like the..." he closed his eyes and sighed in bliss. "Excitment of the wait. So we will go slow, my angel." His eyes hardened has he got closer again but his lips didn't fully touch this time. "But you already belong to me, don't forget that."

"I don't belong to you, creep." I leaned forward trying to ignore his breath gazing my lips. I met his eyes with my own "I will kill you. Don't. Forget. That." I snarled the words at him shortly.

His hand shot out so quickly I didn't even see it. My cheek burned and blood dripped down my chin. "Good girl, my angel. But I wonder how long that fight in you will last." He chuckled patting my sore cheek before turning to pull a tray closer to him. I watched as he picked up a knife that looked sharp enough to cut off my fingers like butter. I took a deep breath and kept repeated the one word. Rage.

The light reflected off the metal as the sharp tip of the blade was placed against my arm. I quickly looked to the ceiling as I felt it bit into my skin and drag down slowly. I clenched my jaw and did my best to think past the pain. I knew what he wanted, what he needed. To feed off my pain and fear, to break me. I wasn't going to let him win. If I was going to die, I wanted to win this at least. I won't break and I will some how kill him before I did. Closing my eyes as he shifted to another part of my body, I imagined ripping him to pieces. Seeing the fear in his dull eyes, to hear him scream until his voice becomes raw.

"Serum Nine-nine-three, causing small wounds to heal in an hours time. But I wonder how well it will work on a bigger one?"

His voiced mused. My body was shivering on its own as my blood started to dry. Five hours, and I wasn't even able to survive the first hour without letting out a whimper of pain. It made him excited and he started to make it hurt more, make it last longer. All that, turn into rage didn't help as well as I thought. The pain I experienced at that house was nothing compared to being on a slab and under his care. Still I grasped onto the thought of turning the fear, and pain into rage. I couldn't have held back as well as I could've if I didn't have that to hold onto.

I didn't have time to prepare as a much larger knife was slowly pressed into my hip. My mouth opened in a silent scream as he kept going in as slowly as possible. His other hand pushing my sweat coated hair from my face so he can see my face clearly. I couldn't, I needed this to stop. The pain was to much. My breathing turned into short, hard huffs.

"All the way to the hilt and you stayed awake through it all. Magnificent, we are getting closer to perfecting the serum. And you my angel, are the lucky one to be able to receive it" his voice was shaky with his excitement. He started to pull the knife out just as slowly as he sunk it in. My eyes rolled and I couldn't stop a whimper from the pain. The knife slid out as my blood started to line my body, warming my cooling skin. He placed it on the tray and them simply stood and watched as I battled with the pain. My body started to convulse and I was unable to control it any more.

"Damn it, Keller! We didn't bring you a new one to kill it so quickly!" the male voice from earlier yelled at my nightmare.

"She isn't going to die" he whispered "this one is different." I wanted to throw up as his hands skimmed across my sweaty and bloody body. "She is perfect" he groaned as my body finally stopped moving on its own. I started to see black dots and I hoped I was finally going to die.

"Ninety minutes" he spoke as he petted me like I was his favorite dog.

"What?" the man questioned.

"The bigger wound healed in ninety minutes. So much closer until we reach the goal." He laughed a high and insane sound. "So much closer, George! So much."

"Good job, Keller. The boss will be pleased. Your results are the only reason you get away with your... hobbies" he spit out the last word in disgust. I heard the man leave as my eyelids fluttered closed.

"Good girl today my angel. Tomorrow we shall work even harder, yes?" he giggled.

I didn't fight, I let the darkness take me and only hoped that I don't resurface again.
