Chapter 5: Once Upon A Nightmare

*This chapter has been posted without being proofread by another person.*

A/N:Hello, my darlings, how are you? I hope you’re doing well.  : )

 Concerning this chapter, I must make a warning for it. It has a bit of torture but it’s not that descriptive. I tried to make it as vague as possible, I even wanted to write it differently, but then this happened. So if that’s not your cup of tea, you have been graciously warned.

However, in order to understand what’s going on you’ll probably have to read it. And for that I am sorry, but the show must go on.

And for those of you who might be wondering, “Hey, where’s King Mickey?” I assure you that his disappearance is tied up with the plot, so don’t you worry about that.

Latin words used in this story are as follow:

Frater = Brother

Gratias = Thank you

Herus = Lord

Daemons = Demons

One last thing: because some of you have been very kind towards me and have followed, commented and liked my story, I will start dedicating chapters to you all! :D

This one goes to my first ever follower, lolagirl29. I truly am grateful that, even if you dislike curse words, you’re still putting up with this story. You wonderful, wonderful, girl, you. :3

Now, let the reading commence! And as always, feedback is greatly appreciated!

oooOooo

Riku woke up to the sounds of her screams. So, Alex had proceeded with the experiment without telling him a thing about it. Oh he had some idea about what it was, but he wanted to be there just in case he overstepped some boundary.  Getting out of the bed and putting on his pajama pants, he hurriedly walked to the main chamber where the experiments were being conducted. He wasn’t about to let the girl die out on him and leaving Alex alone with her might set his anger loose, putting her in great risk.

The door at the end of the hallway had been left open and in he went, seeing the image that had been burned into his mind a while ago. Alicia had been strapped spread-eagle onto what looked like a cross, her hands and feet tied with metal chains that bound her to it. “To symbolize the death of the Maker’s son,” had been Alex’s answer when Riku had asked about it. She was also naked, something that Riku still couldn’t quite assimilate in his mind. She was so beautiful, wonderfully so. He couldn’t help but tread on that territory when he saw her like that. Yet her beauty had been marred by the wounds that marked her lovely body, by the things that they constantly put her through.    

“No, no, NO! This isn’t right!” Alex turned around on the spot after stopping the machine and started walking back and forth, clearly frustrated with the whole situation. “I just can’t understand! What the HELL have I been doing wrong?!”

Riku crossed his arms and leaned against the wall near the door, listening to both Alex’s rant and her painful cries. He looked back and forth between the two, trying to decide whether he should either help the girl out or calm Alex down.

He chose the latter. “What did you do to her this time?”

Alex immediately stopped when he heard his voice and walked over to him. Riku felt no fear, though. His behavior was already predictable, something he’d come to understand the moment he met him. “Where were you?”

Riku snorted. “I was sleeping, something you commanded me to do, frater.” Oh yeah, he now knew their language thanks to another one of Alex’s potion. He wanted Riku to become a perfect Stalker, and he would use any methods to achieve this. Or so he’d said.
