Venom (Tsuzuku X Koichi)

Chapter 1 - Midnight

I feel it run through my veins, I hear the clock tick by slowly with each drop of it. My vision began to blur as all I saw was colors blending into one. I felt weak, hopeless, useless. Though I tried again like had done so many times before; I pulled and tugged against the chains that held me to the wall. No use. I wasn't strong enough. So this was my end trapped in a cellar somewhere with no escape. Tsuzuku, where was he? Was he okay?

I looked up at the wall that was in front of me, there was clock that let know of the time. It was like it was teasing me letting know much more time I was left on this planet.

11:00pm: One hour to midnight, the hour of nothing but pure darkness. Would darkness overtake me then? Could I hold out for another hour?

11:15pm: I hear a car in the distance, vaguely I am only just about able to hear it. Its speeding like crazy or else how would I be able to hear it from here? There would be a crash, an explosion, fire everywhere like fireworks that celebrate the ending of my life. I laugh weakly at the thought of that.

Ha...stay safe people.

11:30pm: I can hear it more better now, it's getting closer. It stops somewhere close by, very close by.

Footsteps, running...someone is running.

My vision fades from colors to darkness even so I fight against it.

Just half an hour left. I can do this.

11:45pm: Voices, I hear voices. They are yelling and shouting something. I strain myself to hear what they are saying.

"Koichi?! Hang on in there! We are going to get you out of here." that's what they say.

Its Tsuzuku...he is okay. He has come to save me. He put himself in danger for me.

I can hear their voices clearly now though my vision just about nothing but darkness.

"Hold on Koichi, we will get you out of this place." MiA tries to comfort me.

"You'll be safe soon." Tsuzuku says as he breaks the rusty chains that have held me to the wall for so long.

"I-I'm fine." I breathe my voice barely audible but I am sure that they can hear it.

I am free now, free from the chains that held me here, the only embrace I have is of my band mates warm arms around me.

12:00 am: I am safe but it has crept through my veins for too long now. My body gives way as I collapse too weak to carry on anymore. The last thing I hear is their panicked voices as they carry me out of here.
