Long Way To Happy {The Creatures AU}

Chapter II: Say Hello to Hell

Sly told me to sleep some more, while he tidies up the place. How do even clean a place like this that looks like a tornado hit it? Suppose the mad don't have the same definition of clean.

When I woke up, I looked around to see he was gone. I, however, just now realized my clothes had been changed. My boobs were majorly being pushed up by a black corset, accompanied by very tight black pants and matching high heal boots. There was a cloak draped over the whole thing, and might I say, it fit me well.

Now, who changed me was a different question. I do wonder if there's any females around. All I've seen is men, or whatever that thing was that came and talked to Sly earlier. He was terrifying, like some horror movie villain.

I opened the door to the room I was in, seeing I had been placed in the medical wing. Time to explore some more! You know, because that got me somewhere last time. I just need to find a way to escape!

This is not where I belong, because I am perfectly sane! At least, I believe I am. No, I am!

I shook the thoughts out of my head when I reached what seemed to be a storage room, but the lights were off. As I scrambled for a switch, I heard rattling that forced my heart to race like a horse gunning for first place.

Finally I hit one light, but it didn't give me much to see. What I did witness, scared the shit out of me. A pair of red eyes gleamed at me under shaggy dirty blond hair. The shadows covered most of his face, but I could see very well he was examining me with his eyes. Perhaps, even evaluating me.

As he turned back around, he placed his hand on the wall. It drug against the concrete, leaving a smear of fresh blood. Shit, time to go! I quickly ran out the door, suddenly crashing into someone.

Before I could even look up, the person grabbed my wrist and began tightly squeezing it. "Why are you waking around here alone? Were you trying to escape?" Nova's voice hissed through gritted teeth as he began to turn my arm a direction it wasn't made to go.

"N-no." I whimpered. "I promise! Please stop, you're hurting me!"

"James!" A demanding voice yelled. "Sly said he's keeping this one. That means, no hurting her."

Nova snit, pushed me back. I fell to the floor, cringing out in pain. A hand suddenly offered it's self to me. I followed the arm up to see a taller man with a thin body and a five o'clock shadow. His eyes were shaded by a baseball cap, which seemed to make him creepier.

"Let me clarify this to you; You're our property now, just like all the others that are disregarded here. We'll treat you well, if you behave. Running around like this is anything but behaving. Now, you belong at Sly's side. He's down in the gardens. Don't waste any time." The man explained.

"Y-y-yes sir." I stammered, then ran off.

There were some rusty signs I could follow. Hard to believe this shithole once was a nice hospital. Then the patients took over, and look what it became.

"Slayer!" Sly suddenly greeted me the second I walking into the garden.

How did he even know I was here this fast? I shouldn't even try to question these freaks.

"I see you're doing better." He grinned, and I now saw his sharp teeth for the first time.

I wasn't that scared though, because I knew he wouldn't hurt me. "Yeah, I am, but I'm already starting to get the feeling Nova doesn't like me." I told him as I rubbed my sore wrist.

Sly growled under his breath. "Did he hurt you?"

"No, not really. Just grabbed my wrist and that's it." I mumbled.

"He knows damn well he can't touch you! Especially after last time." He snit, looking off in thought.

"What happened, last time?" I asked with a little fear boiling in me.

"Nothing you need to know. C'mon, I'll introduce you to everyone." Sly spoke as he began to walk, and I wearily followed.
