The Contract

Chapter One

A groan escapes her mouth, as she awoke from the pain in her legs. Her chocolate colored eyes fluttered open, only to cause nausea and dizziness. She hung upside down by the barbed wire, wrapped around each leg. Due to her abilities, the barb wire healed into her skin, which made the pain more unbearable. Levy then recollected what had happened; she had entered dangerous territory with...Lisanna... She yells then, full of anger and sadness.

"AAHHH, BASTARDS!" 

She huffs then, thinking, it's my fault. I had us enter the west land territory, 'The Eaters.'

When the world collapsed due to humans being over run, the humans began to die as well as the earth. Most of the earth, had turned into a desert, and non-humans/humans began to make pacts. They fought over territories where life was still green; 4 of them famously ruthless. 1. Northern territory: The Crew. It was the mafia all over again, running the place. People lived in fear, and guns/magic went off everyday. 2. Eastern: Dark users. This explains itself. 3. West land: The Eaters. They eat ANYTHING AND EVERYONE. 4. Southern: No man's land. It was still being fought for. The rumors had everyone talking. It is said that vigilantes were protecting it, so that people and beings could live peacefully.

There were still many pacts, but those were the major ones. Lisanna and I were headed to the south land, so that we could both feel safe. That was how it was supposed to be, anyway... Lisanna was decades younger than she was, more accurately, Lisanna WAS human. Her bodies appearance looks to be of a 17 year old, when really she is decades old...I should have protected her, Levy thought, We should have gone around like she wanted to. Levy looks around to see where she was at. She was hung outside, in front of the house, probably as a warning. Her blue hair was still tied up, away from her face while her body was covered with what looked like bandages, but acted like tattoos when other people touched them. This was due to the powers she had held, which was locked inside her by the bandages; this was how she was born...

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a clash from inside the house. She needed to get herself free, quickly. Levy winced at the pain in her legs as she moved, watching at the barbed wire cut deep in her skin. If she was human, her skin would have been ripped off by now. Looking around again, she looks at the tree and spots a branch, close by that could support her body weight. Levy ignored the pain as she swung, towards it. Come on, she thought, just a bit more. Swinging herself again, she hears the door open. Right as she turns her head, she is hit in the gut with a bat. She groans while hearing laughter, and one of the men comment, "Hahaha, we have a pinata."

Levy held her stomach, in pain then groans again when she is hit in the back.

"Don't bruise the meat too much, idiot!"

"Shut up Ichi! It doesn't matter, anyway."

The other male swings the bat again, hitting her multiple times. Grinding her teeth, she held back a yell.

"Get the bucket, Juan."

Juan nods, proceeding to head back inside for a moment. Ichi looks at her, examining her body, as he asks, "So, what kind of magical fuck tard are you?"

She doesn't even answer for a moment, before getting smashed in the head. Her skull felt excruciating pain plus pressure, while she felt blood dripped down her skull.

"You, you heal too fast to be human."

He points the bat in her face, before hearing, "Ichi! Stop it for christ sake. You fucking idiot. You are wasting her blood."

Juan puts the bucket underneath her, hitting Ichi upside the head.

"I just wanted to know."

Juan tsks, before pulling out a container. Levy knew already what it was by the look of the round see through gel container. It didn't matter anyway, she thought feeling herself fall into despair; this was her fault.

"Don't fall too deep into sadness. We want to hear you scream." Juan's face would be close hers, letting her spit into his face.

"Bitch." Disgust ran across his face, before Levy gasped. He had stabbed her in the stomach with a knife. The gel she had seen was covering the knife, as she bleed non-stop now. Her small body wouldn't be able to handle the torture, especially if they had the magic gel.

The magic gel, also called, Hemophilia. It caused healers or humans to bleed out due to the gel, which prevented the body from clotting. She huffs, now and hears, "Why didn't you put it into her heart?"

"Because we are going to open up her chest."

Fluttering her eyes open, she sees Ichi holding an oscillating saw, causing her to shut her eyes. This is it, she thought, feeling her small body giving out. She had almost already lost 2 pints, which meant her body would go into shock soon. She felt herself go unconscious for a moment, hearing what she thought was the oscillating saw turning on. Opening her eyes for a moment, she sees Juan and Ichi smiling, before there eyes went wide.

"Kill them."

A male voice said. Two figures suddenly then appear from behind her, attacking Juan and Ichi. Levy felt a hand grab her then, lifting her up right. Trying to keep awake, she sees the males face up close. He had untamed black hair, and red eyes. Piercings ran along his eyebrows, and one on his nose. They make eye contact for a moment, she felt something she couldn't describe.

"Quickly, get the knife out. You are getting blood all over yourself and-"

"Just take care of her legs, I will worry about that later."

"T-thank..."

The male must have heard her whisper, his eyes looking at her once again. Right at that moment, she finally passes out.
