Sinner

-Reily-

My body hurts. Where was I? I tried to look around. Nothing. Still nothing. I can't move. Wait… What is that?

Step. Step. Step. Step.

Who's there? I turned my head. I can't see them. But I am not alone.

“Hello there.”

I froze. I could feel the heat on my back. Who… Who are you? Giggling in my ear.

I'm here to take the treasure back!”

“Take the treasure back! Take the treasure back! Take the treasure back!”

“Hush!”

The voices went quiet. I felt my eyes widen.

What does that mean? My voice still came out of my closed mouth. Laughter came from behind my head.

“She didn't tell you?”

No…

More laughter. “You poor, poor lamb.” Fingertips caressed my neck. My body tensed at the breath on my skin.

“Allow me to show you.” Fingers stabbed into my back. I tried to scream. I could only manage a strangled yelp. My vision turned white. What… What is this? My chest started to glow. I thought that my body would explode. That's when I heard whistling.

First came the colors. Dull at first. Little spots broke through.

What the hell?

Just watch.

One light hit my face. Screaming ran through my ears. Flames burst in the red. Heat danced around my body. I could feel a low hum in my chest.

Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.

The ripples spread through my body. I started to see hands working on some sort of metal. The sounds blended together as the colors flipped around in my eyes.

Oh…

Shapes began to form. The sparkles danced in my eyes. What… What is this?

Keep watching.

Huh?

Stab!

Sharp pain shot through my body. I gasped aloud.

Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!

It felt like many ice-cold knives were stabbing my body. I could barely scream out loud. My body hung, trembling. I don't want to die. I don't want to die! Please! Stop! Stop it please!

Stab!

My body hung there, unable to move. Somehow, I was still alive. Laughter filled my ears. Fingers ran down my back.

“Now do you see it?”

I tried to look behind me. What the fuck was that? Limbs wrapped around my body and began to squeeze. I winced as the pain grew. What I heard next broke me.

“We're just getting started, my little toy.”
