Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Asmodeus (Oct 29, 2001 07:47 p.m.):[/b] The press of cold steel against his palm after growing used to the warmth of her body was startling, and he looked down at the top of her head with narrowed eyes until her voice broke the silence. "How...how did you live?" Most of his body remained unmoving, but his hand tightened on the blade involuntarily, and he hissed and withdrew his hand, surveying the fresh cuts on the insides of his fingers before pressing his hand flat against the bed. She looked up at him, and he made himself meet her eyes. He should have waited. She didn't know. Looking into her jade eyes, the flecks of gold catching the ambient light in the dark little cell, he knew it was too late to undo what he'd done. She would have to accept it. He couldn't give her up now. "I have a drug tolerance, Kat," he began slowly. "The tranquilizers Sol shot me with put me out, but the doctors said it was only uncertain for a few hours. I remember..." He grew quiet for a moment, pain passing over his features. It was hard not to look away...but he owed her that much. He owed her his pain. "I remember everything, Kat," he said at last. "I remember...everything." Her eyes widened slightly in realization, and he nodded, touched his forehead to hers. "I'm...sorry." [i]"I wanted to thank you, Kitten..."[/i] His eyes closed, and when they opened again, his face was the stern, implacable mask he used during [i]interviews[/i]. This had to be finished. He could apologize more extensively later. Nothing he did would ever be enough to make up for what he'd done. "When I woke up, I was here," he continued. "I wasn't sure where here was, at first. Kat, it was von Starnburg. He...recommended me. If he hadn't, I would have gone back to Charybdis." He didn't expand on that possibility. She knew what would have happened then. "He sponsored me for the IA program here. They wouldn't let me talk to you, Katera. I tried. I talked one of the computerists into slipping a picture into my file for me, hoping you'd get it." Catching gentle hold of her wrist, he ran his thumb over her scar delicately, brought it to his mouth and kissed it, as if he could erase it with his remorse. "Vaisou - Jason Vaisou, the one in charge of the IA compound here - he offered to let me stay, offered to have you transferred here after you graduated, but he wouldn't let me send you anything. I watched you, Kat. He gave me the camera feed into your cell. I was there. I was always there." He held her closer, breathing slowly to keep himself calm. "Vaisou promised me you'd be transferred here, if I completed my training. I'm done, Kat. We're both done." As upset as he was, there was a vengeful pride in his voice as he smirked into her hair. "We're done, and our records are clear. I have to stay here for six months...but after that...wherever you want to go, we'll go, Kat. Name it. They won't separate us again."[/quote]
