Professor

Ch. 18 - Cry no more, part I

Once out of sight, Alice ran to her dorm room. Slamming the door as she walked in, the young girl closed her eyes. Loki loved her. He'd set aside his pride and finally said it. That was all she needed.

With an overwhelming joy, she opened her eyes and quickly gathered her belongings, packing them into large plastic bags. Throwing the first one on her back, she stood up and bumped into a strong chest.

"Where are we going Alice ?"

With all her senses on alert, she slowly lifted her head to the source of the sound.

Leo.

Heart beating like a drum, Alice tried to move back and escape him, but Leo gripped her wrist,

"No, no." he purred disgustingly, "Didn't I tell you to stay away from him ?" His fingers clamped around her forearm, causing Alice to gasp. "Didn't I tell you ?" he repeated through gritted teeth.

"Go to hell, Leo." Alice growled, throwing her feet against his knee.

She saw his eyes sparkle with rage and he pushed her violently on the bed. Alice released a nervous chuckle,

"So what, you're going to rape me now ? How pathetic." she spat, rolling her eyes.

"Rape you ?" Leo grinned, "No, Alice. I wouldn't do such a thing." he calmly declared, pulling a long object from his pocket, "I'm just curious..." Leo walked towards her as she took in the sight of the knife in his hand, "Will Mr. Laufeyson still want to fuck you after a few cuts ?"

The young girl gasped as he directed the point of the blade into the soft skin below her shoulder.

"Here..." Leo mumbled, "Or higher, maybe ?" he traced a line to her neck and stopped under her chin.

With excruciating slowness, Leo pushed with the blade, cutting into her unblemished white flesh. Immediately, Alice hit his shoulder, causing him to cut even deeper in the skin. She punched him in his chest, her whole body shaking from fear. As soon as Leo let his guard down, the young girl took advantage of his weakness and kicked him between the legs.

Releasing a loud groan, he fell on the floor, holding his manhood through his pants.

Blood began to spread from Alice's neck. Dipping a finger into the running red stream, the young girl blinked several times. Feeling dizzy, she dragged her feet towards the nearest furniture and leaned against it. In less than a moment, her vision blurred, a taste of metal filling her mouth.

When she opened her eyes, she was lying on her bed, hands tied behind her back and Leo sitting near her. Noticing she was awake, he waved a black device in front of her eyes,

"See this ?" he came closer, causing her whole body to shudder, "Professor Laufeyson is worried." Leo sang sarcastically, "Alice, I'm so sorry, I just need you and nothing else." He burst out laughing, "Seems like you guys had an argument..."

Alice tried to move but the knots around her wrists were too tight.

"Well, Alice..." Leo sat back on the bed, "Shall we answer to that dear Professor ?"

Eyes widening, the young girl stopped moving as she understood what Leo was planning to do. Her stomach clenched.

"Loki..." Leo slowly uttered, "I thought about it and it might be for the best if... We don't see each other for a while..."

Tears started stinging her eyes and she tried to scream but choked on the gag that obstructed her mouth.

"And... Sent !" Leo grinned proudly, lying down next to her, "Now, there won't be any other obstacle between us."

This had to be a nightmare. It couldn't be real.

Alice's body shook from head to toe as if she was freezing. Leo's mouth ghosted against her skin and he touched the tear that had rolled down her cheek with his fingertip,

"Sh..." he hushed, pressing the cold blade against her ribs, "Here we go."

Vigorously shaking her head, Alice begged him with her eyes, but Leo seemed to like it even more and cut into her flesh, deeper this time, causing Alice to scream again through the piece of cloth stuck in her mouth.

Unable to catch her breath, the young girl felt her stomach convulsing. To Leo's  disappointment, Alice passed out, forcing him to remove the gag from her mouth.

For a moment, she felt shivers running down her spine, then nothing. Everything was dark and cold. Alice's body became unresponsive, saving her from the fear and physical pain Leo wanted to inflict. The young girl laid there, unconscious. It felt like hours of peace, until she managed to think again. What would Loki think when he'd see Leo's text ?

Loki.

Slowly regaining consciousness, Alice coughed. Her throat felt so dry. All she wanted was to scream, but nothing came. Leo was still towering over her, his threatening smile showing his teeth.

"Welcome back." his grin widened, his rancid breath filling her nostrils.

 Alice felt her heart hammering in her chest. Leo was about to dip his blade into her stomach, when they heard her phone vibrating.

Her aggressor released an exasperated sigh, standing up to take a look at the call,

"Speak of the devil..." he grumbled.

While Leo was looking away, Alice noticed how clammy her hands had become. Holding her breath, she started pulling them up carefully. With an incredible effort, she managed to slide out of her bonds.

Gasping slightly, Alice wondered if Leo had heard her, but he was still bent over her phone, absorbed by Loki's messages.

She had to be strategic. Judging by his murderous tendencies, Leo wouldn't hesitate to kill her if she missed the exit. If she didn't act now, Alice was going to die.

Slowly then, the young girl placed her hands behind her back, observing him and the way he held his knife.

It was now or never.

Jumping on her feet, she hurried to the door, grabbing a pair of scissors on her desk as she did. It only took seconds for Leo to catch her from behind and pull her back against his chest, but Alice planted her weapon into his arm.

Leo's jaw dropped, the pain leaving him breathless for a moment. Alice stumbled on one of her plastic bags, falling to her knees. The door was only a few inches from her, and yet she couldn't reach it. Trying to catch her breath, she held out her hand, hoping to grab the door handle, but her body was too weak.
