Aleks
I hurt. My instincts were warring with my sluggish brain as I struggled back to awareness, screaming at me to move, and move quickly, but my body wasn't obeying my commands. I felt tender and bruised all over, each nerve ending sensitive, my muscles weak as I tried to take mental inventory. My last memories were fuzzy - Cole's voice and hands, the cold chain around my neck, my desperate, panicked struggle. I shivered. It wasn't the water, or even the shocks - I'd been through worse. It was the way he'd systematically stripped me down, exposed me, made me question my very nature. I felt raw and jumbled, like he'd hollowed me out and put everything back in the wrong place. Who I was, what I was, all of it seemed so tenuous now.
"I'm an agent." I whispered, my voice hoarse, as I wrenched my eyelids open.
I was talking to myself.
My hands were secured behind my back, wrapped in some sort of leather cuff, and I still wore the silver chain around my throat, but I was otherwise unrestrained in a bare concrete cell. A quick scan of the space told me that there were no windows, a single door, and no less than three cameras monitoring me. I remembered the cells Cole had led me past earlier, the video screens showing their occupants being sexually tortured, and I whimpered, wondering what sort of torment he'd devised for me next. My nipples hardened in spite of myself as I imagined the things he could dream up. I had a sudden urge to just lie there, to give up and let him win. To stop fighting him, to just accept his control. I felt a warmth pooling in my core at the idea, a traitorous little voice whispering that I'd probably even enjoy it. To feel his hands caressing my sensitive little nipples, his cock in my pussy as he held me down and fucked me. To hear him call me his little slut, to know that that's what I truly was. Would that be so bad?
"No." I whispered again, my voice coming out in a sob. "No, I'm an agent. I'm an agent."
I gritted my teeth, whispering my new mantra to myself, tears running down my cheeks as I fought back the tide of emotions, the weakness, the confusion.
"I'm an agent." I hissed, my breath turning to a gasp as I sat up, my sore muscles protesting.
"I'm an agent." I rolled to my feet in a maneuver that should have been second nature and yet felt stiff and somehow foreign.
"I'm an agent!" I screamed at the nearest camera, my face flushed, my chest heaving with the effort of choking back my tears.
"Fuck you, Cole, I'm going to win. I'm going to win." I whispered, turning my back on the camera, my brain finally clicking into gear, my training coming to the forefront.
I scanned the room again, assessing the door strength, hinges, walls, floor, cameras. The door was a simple steel affair with a peephole in the center - standard issue, virtually impossible to break out of. Ok, walls? Solid concrete, no weaknesses or flaws, same with the floor. I eyed the cameras, mentally lining up their trajectory with the glimpses I'd caught of those other captives. If I was right....Oh yes, I was right.
"Mistake number one, you fucker." I muttered under my breath, studiously ignoring the small area in the corner that the cameras couldn't see. Maybe Cole thought his little cell was so impervious he could afford to have a blind spot, but I intended to prove him wrong.
"Cole." I said, turning fully to one of the cameras. "Let's talk." I tried to make my voice sound forlorn, my body language that of someone broken, hopeless. "I can't....I can't do this anymore. Please. I just.....let's talk." I let a few more tears fall, hunching my shoulders and bowing my head. There was a pause, just long enough for me to wonder if anyone was even monitoring the feeds from my cell, then a voice crackled out of a hidden speaker.
"I'm sure Cole will be more than happy to hear that, Aleks."
Oh good, an underling.
I sobbed harder, my words coming out in gasps. "Please, just let me talk to him. Let me see him, I need to end this. I can't keep going."
The voice sounded slightly hesitant this time. "Cole will speak with you when he has the time, in the meantime..."
