You Will Only Be Mine-Chapter 296: Data

My body felt heavy and weak, I didn’t understand what was going on around me. I tried to open my eyes but fatigue stopped them from even moving. I was tired, really, really tired. I don’t know how much longer I can hold on. All this time, I tried my best, I endured everything thrown at me, but I don’t know how much longer can I keep going. I need something to hold onto. I need…someone.

"Ai…" I hear his voice, calling me from a distance. A distance so far, my frail body cannot even fathom to cover. Even if I use all the energy left within me, I cannot hold onto anything.

"Come to me," I thought lying in my original state, not being able to move. "I need you," I wanted to shout but my voice couldn’t escape my mouth.

I just lay there, weak, helpless, and not being able to be close to my beloved. At least, if it is time for me to die, I don’t want to be alone during that time. I want him to be there with me, at least then I can allow sweet death to embrace me. How much time has it been? I don’t know, I have lost count. Even if it would have been a day, it felt like the longest day I have ever lived through.

Cuts, bruises, stabs, and whatnot. I endured through it all. I know why he did this, so I endured through it all. My arms were cut off and I screamed. I screamed so loud that my tongue was next. The worst part was, they grew back, and he got his chance again. So, he repeated that routine, all over again. Every time he makes a wound, it heals, so he opens the same wound again. And again, and again, and again, and again.

All I could do was just shout and scream, my voice calling out to him. Not for help, but wanting to keep him away. I saw what this man is capable of doing to a pseudo-immortal. If he, if he did something like this to him. He…he will die. No matter how tough he tries to show himself, he is still a mere human and that man will exploit him till his final breath. I knew it.

I knew it.

Yet, I cried for help. To be saved.

My mind begged my body not to think for its own survival only to realize my mind betrayed itself. Instincts took over and my own will had no right of command anymore. I swayed with what my instincts told my body to do. It didn’t want to die. Yet, it didn’t want to suffer. It held onto anything that would keep me from drifting into the abyss and it all circled back to him.

Time passed, and the wounds started to take longer to heal. Though it left me weaker it was a blessing in disguise. The man didn’t intend to kill me, so he slowed and calmed with his sadistic torture. The time for him to come back and repeat the same things took longer. Though I now had time to catch my breath. I just dreaded for the time I saw him again. "It won’t take too long", the man told me and the words sent shivers down my body.

He didn’t leave though, he just waited, eyes darting up and down my body. I couldn’t catch my breath. His mere presence urged me to get as far as I could from him. But I couldn’t. Run? Where to though? I was trapped in this seemingly never-ending loop of breaking and healing.

The man broke me, and I healed. But only physically.

"Ai…" he called out my name, now closer than he was before. My body was not able to move, but a little smile crept on my face.

"Just a little closer," I thought lying in my original state. My body slowly moved just so I could I get closer to him. "I need you," I mouthed but the voice didn’t come out again. "I miss you," I wanted to cry. Not out of pain or fear but out of sadness.

Not being able to see his face for this long brought a great deal of sadness to me. I wanted to see him, hear his voice, feel his touch and want to be close to him. If I heard him only say once "Hold on a little longer" I would endure everything and wait, not because I have no choice but out of sheer willpower. Doesn’t matter how much time that would have been. It could be minutes or days, weeks even and I will patiently wait for him knowing that he is out there fighting to get to me.

"I did well, right?" I whispered wanting to be praised by him. His hand gently stroking my dirtied hair and him smiling at me was the only thing I wanted to see now. But not every wish is fulfilled.

I got no response.

At least not from him.

"That’s…" I heard a feminine voice in front of him. It didn’t match the voice of any of the subordinates who would bring more and more torture weapons for that man. This was a different one. The voice sounded horrified. "That’s Ai-san?"

This person knew my name…somehow. I wanted to open my eyes and look at who it was but my body didn’t support me yet again. Before I knew it, the tools of agony from my limbs were pulled out and I fell into the cold embrace of someone. The feel was unfamiliar but not the smell. I knew this person. I wanted to cry out of joy but it also broke my heart. This person wasn’t him.

"Father did this…?" I heard a voice and my body somehow calmed back to its senses. The person referred to that man by that name. There was no reason for this to be a good situation for me. But I was free, the only thing now was to get out. To him.

I let my instincts take over and I quickly bit into the neck of the one holding me. I don’t care anymore. I started drinking the foul-tasting blood but the taste was the last thing on my mind. I wanted to vomit from the taste but I kept going.

"ARGH!!" shouted the person but I didn’t pay heed. I need more, this is not enough. Give me everything that you have.

Someone pulled at me but I didn’t move, I kept going until the taste was unbearable. I indulged myself with the blood of the other person but this one tasted better than the one before. I drank and drank wanting to suck every last drop of blood from her.

"STOP!!" the person shouted and I felt a jolting pain in my neck as flesh was ripped out of it. I knew it. These people were not here for any good. I jumped at the person and they got my arm and ripped it off. Then they threw me with great strength and my back felt as if it was being struck by hot boiling iron and I screamed in pain. They were bad news and I needed to end this quickly. My body was in pain again but this time it did nothing to me. I felt pain far worse and this was nothing compared to that. I was ready to pounce at them but something pushed me back and knocked me unconscious.

I looked in front to see a familiar figure. I stretched out my hand wanting to be helped. She knew the person I wanted to get to. She can be of use to me. Please…

"…take me to Kazu…kun…" I murmured before my vision faded to black yet again.

I didn’t know what to do anymore. I was slowly starting to lose hope. I wanted to run away. I wanted to be close to him but I failed. I tried but I failed and my body was starting to lose strength again. I’m scared…I’m so scared Kazu-kun…I don’t know where you are, I don’t know how you are but you feel so close and it hurts even more. I want to be with you, I don’t want to be all alone. I am scared here; I don’t want to be here. I don’t know what to do anymore. Run? I tried but I failed. The one chance I found, I failed. I don’t know how long I can go on, why don’t you just come to me? Why is it taking you so lo
