"Ow! I hate you! You had no right to touch me like that! Child molesters do that kinda shit!" Gabriel yelled while rubbing her left cheek.
"Little girl did you put my nasal bones into my brain with that strike? How you fucking turn me on!" Vali sneered.
"You are not a child. I asked didn't it feel good and did you want me to stop. Such a funny thing about the word no, don't you agree?"
"You would say anything to get your way and to justify it! Trickery and illusion ...smoke and mirrors to hide the monster in the darkness."
"Your mortal monsters use misdirection just as I do," Vali stated calmly, "I didn't violate you."
"You touched me against my will when I told you no!"
Vali growled and flipped her hard onto the bed. He climbed onto the bed and wrapped an arm around her neck.
"Listen closely cottontail. What I did was not to humiliate you or show power. Don't begin to judge me on the word 'no' or violate! Tell those things to the Ottoman Turks who punished me in such ways! "
"I will judge you! You became as cruel as your enemies! There's some research* that says you raped your Turkish prisoners as your enemy did to you at age 11!" Angel yelled in his face.
"And? Humiliation and terror make people do what needs to be done sometimes. I rape a prisoner that won't talk so five others will talk. You're a woman, what do you care? I told you I don't rape women..."
"Do you hear yourself? Justification and lack of remorse..." Gabriel said in an emotional voice.
"I don't have to explain anything to you little pompous profiler. You wouldn't last a day in that time period if you had to suffer any of the hardships I did..."
"Wrong! This debate rages today! Is one born a killer or made a killer? Anytime you could have chosen to not be what you became. You could have died and your soul finding peace."
Gabriel continued, "Many suffer terrible abuse but don't become the abuser."
"FBI psycho- babbling I see. You're father's best student. I just finished reading his first book," Vali smirked.
"Perhaps you are substituting for your daddy issues because he spends his time with 'men' like me?"
"What? I don't have daddy issues!"
"Hmm, I would be the most upsetting man to your father. The one your father hunts, is 'toying' with his baby girl. Perhaps a text is due to give him false hope, looking the way you do..."
"Do it then and be done!" Gabriel snarled.
"Well, I have an appetite that needs taken care of so it will wait..." Vali smugly replied.
Gabriel punched, kicked and headbutted him. "I said no! No means no!"
"Baby Girl you're impetus and spoiled brat behavior earned you a painful feeding. I would have rolled your mind to make this experience pleasurable but you insist on being stubborn."
The Vampire yanked and spun her body roughly around. He pulled her legs apart and took a sharp fingernail to her thigh, slicing it open. He nicked the femoral artery. His mouth latched on and began to suck harshly. Gabriel struggled due to the extreme pain but he simply put his right hand around her throat and held her still.
Gabriel fought in her mind not to give him a reward of crying or screaming but in the end she was a 20 year old girl and no match for psychological games. She choked on tears and had screamed until her voice gave out. Vali simply let a rumbling laugh out as he continued to feed. He finished and licked the wound several times.
"Now, now little cottontail...you did very well. You didn't pass out. I've never had anyone take the pain of a feeding you took and not pass out. You didn't beg either...most beg me to reconsider."
"It would serve no purpose...so tired," Gabriel said.
"Yes that's due to fighting me. Contrary to you humans...there is no limit of feedings I can consume from you. Well, except dead...you won't turn unless I do certain things and will it. You would so 'hate' to even be a Renfield."
"And it will make me hate you more. You have already lost so far. You have done a most remarkable job at showing the cruelty and sadistic nature you creatures are."
"And time is but a grain of sand in the desert..."
"The five ways of dealing with trauma...friendly. I'm too tired to think anymore or care," Gabriel replied, her eyes heavy from exhaustion.
Vali pulled her around and in his arms. Due to his height he engulfed her body and pressed down to remind her he was ever present. She would fall asleep held by him and wake up in the same tight, controlling embrace.
The girl's mind passed into darkness and found him, red eyes glowing. The shadows shifted and he sat on a throne simply sitting. Gabriel ran from the throne room but only managed to end up looping back to him. The nightmare was a continuous loop of her never escaping him and he never left his spot in her dream. Only his cruel smile got bigger...
"has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but it is never gone."Rose Kennedy~Reid (Criminal Minds)
