Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Purgatory ❯ Dreams ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: it's not mine. If it were then a lot of people that write fan fiction would be writing the scripts to the next installment of RW/YST.

AN: No, I do not hate Anubis; I just got tired of seeing him die and go on to heaven. So here I am to torture him.

Purgatory

Hands grasping, grabbing at hair, arms and legs. These filthy dirty vile hands. Now they were beating the flesh they once held, taunts and insults hurled with every breath. Then suddenly laughter from a woman, her voice sending chills down the listener's spine. The beating stops and suddenly there is pain. Feet are held over fire roasting, cooking, them. Laughter again as the meat is pulled off of the bones and fed to the prisoner. Forced to eat their own cooked flesh that was still attached to the body. Screams ripped out of a throat as scenes of the same torture are applied to another unfortunate hundreds of years ago. This time the torturer from then is the victim now. More feminine laughter as more screams come from her victim…screaming…screaming…. hands grasping…grabbing…laughter…hands holding down….

Mia woke with a jerk, her own screams echoing back to her in her house. The hands that held her down were not the hands of demons but those of the Ronin warriors. Ryo, Cye, Kento, Rowen, and Sage all stood close to her bed. All but Sage held her down and he held his nose to stop the blood from flowing.

She blinked at them all and slowly they released her. "Mia?" Cye's voice cut through the haze in her mind. Eyes filling up with tears she flung herself into his arms and broke down into hysterics. Sobbing as incoherent words filled the air as they all looked at one another. Cye finally wrapped his arms around her and began soothing her, his accent thick with worry.

Motioning for the others to leave Cye continued to comfort her. All of the others crowding around would not help calm her down when they were so obviously scared. Her sobs wracked her body and slowly her terror began to subside. Finally she released him and leaned back from him. Cye kept his arms around her so that she couldn't go far. "Mia." She refused to look up. "Mia, please, what happened? Are you okay?" Mentally Cye kicked himself `Dumb question mate.' She began to shiver again, Cye pulled her close once more and listened to her much more coherent account of her nightmare.

After she had finished they sat on her bed together arms around one another. Cye finally opened his eyes, he hadn't even realized that he had closed them, and released a shaky breath. It had taken all of his ability to calm Mia down and he had even employed that tiny fraction of power that he possessed as an Empath to relax her. In short now he was exhausted, shocked and scared. For in fact her dream had frightened him, and he still had to tell the others that she was more or less all right.

Running one hand through his hair and down his face he found tears of his own that had escaped without his notice. Scrubbing his face with his hand he wiped away his tears. `Now time to clean Mia up.' Looking down he saw her face tilted to the side, eyes closed. `Well, at least she's calmer.' Sliding slowly and manuvering her body he managed to get her lying back down on her bed.he sighed deeply. Wondering what had brought on this violent dream he walked towards the door. Now all he had to do was tell the guys. ` This is not going to be fun.'
