[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Serenity went back to resting her head on Kaiba's shoulder, her breath shallow once again. He didn't know for sure if she was asleep or not. Last time he had presumed, but was wrong.
It was early morning now, he could tell because it was getting ever so lighter outside, but it was still early. He had lost his "time count" on the guys and their "check ups". Fatigue has taken over a while ago. Serenity was definitely asleep, she hadn't lifted her head once since the guy left that she kicked in the...heh... Kaiba smirked, thinking about that again.
He let his head rest against the wall, he needed to sleep. Sure he had stayed up later than this because of work but after everything that happened in the last twenty-four hours he needed to close his eyes. He let himself drift off to sleep.

“Rise and shine my children”

Kaiba opened his eyes, to the ugliest site in the world. It was the leader again. He had this sick smile on his face and the problem was he wasn’t looking at Kaiba. He was looking at Serenity. He looked to his side. There she was, her eyes wide her skin paler than ever.

“The guys and I are getting pretty bored, so we decided we wanted a little entertainment.”

Kaiba felt dread wash through him, but didn’t show it. He had the strangest feeling that...that this guy didn’t even know he existed anymore. It was like his psychopaths’ new obsession was sitting right next to him. The person’s name - Serenity.

The greasy red head took a step towards them. Serenity immediately stiffened and started shaking, not to mention that her whole body was shaking already, her head as an indication of “no”. It looked like she was trying to back away, but of course it wasn’t working.

“Now, now no crying... you know how angry that will make me”

That was when Kaiba noticed her tears.

“I said no crying” The leader’s voice had raised slightly.

Serenity bit her lip, as if to hold back her tears. It seemed to work.

‘He’ was now crouched in front of Serenity, reaching out to her.

“Leave her alone”

His demand seemed to fall on deaf ears. The leader paid no attention to Kaiba, he was now cupping Serenity’s cheek with his hand.

“I said” Kaiba raised his voice a notch “leave her alone!”

This caught his attention. The leaders hand connected with Kaiba’s cheek - backhanding him. The force so strong that the other cheek hit the stone wall.

“Shut up you fool, I didn’t give you permission to speak”

‘Psychopath’ stood up quickly and searched for something in his jacket pockets. Kaiba didn’t think it would be the gun. His curiosity was cured when the leader pulled out a key. He then quickly reached behind Serenity and unlocked her handcuffs. She was crying again.

He pulled Serenity up roughly by the elbow and all Kaiba could do was watch. It made him sick when the leader turned to Serenity and wiped away her tears. She wasn’t doing anything. Just standing there - shaking.

“Now, now, what did I say about crying?”

She didn’t answer just stood there, it made Kaiba doubt her mental health.

The leader let his guard down by letting go of Serenity and putting the key back in his pocket. That was when she punched him...and what a punch. She had pulled back her fist and aimed for his cheek and it hit the target.

He stumbled a few steps back, but he recovered quickly and before Kaiba knew what was happening Serenity had been thrown against the wall. She slid to floor after letting out a small groan. She reached for the back of her head but by that time ‘psychopath’ had already reached her and pulled her up and shoved her hard against the wall. He could hear the impact of her head against the wall.

“You bitch” He backhanded her. Her head, once again, hitting the wall slightly. She seemed limp and she lightly placed her hands on the arms that were holding her against the wall. As to push them off her, but it wasn’t working. The leader seemed oblivious to what he had done to her in his rage and how much pain she was in.

“Don’t ever do that again” He then hauled her along, up the stairs with him.

“It looks like entertainment is back on our plate boys” Could be faintly heard when the leader had reached the top of the stairs, Serenity in tow.

He felt weak. All he had done was watch, in silence and now all he could do was wait. Wait to see if they had done any damage to her, if she would survive whatever they were putting her through, what they were doing to her now. He could hear laughter and shouts, but he didn’t hear anything from her.

Little did Kaiba know that Serenity was scared to death....



I am going to end it there. So, yeah. What do you think?
