Nyx and Cain
Cain opened his eyes to see again the featureless white ceiling of the X-men base. His stomach growled at him and he ignored it, ears pricked for the sound of footsteps. Soon he heard a quick taptap and grinned ferally. "Back so soon, lover?" He called out nastily. "We haven't talked nearly enough lately."
"Shut up," Nyx ordered as she stopped by his bedside. Cain looked at her in surprise.
"I thought I killed you."
"You and several other thousand people. The only difference between you and those others, is that you're still alive."
"I tremble in my bed."
"You should."
"Piss off."
"No. You tell me what I wanna know, you get fed."
"I can go a while without eating, you know." Cain started to whistle, eyes fixed back on the ceiling. Nyx slapped him hard enough to split his lip. "You'll pay for that." His eyes flashed red as a trickle of blood made its way down his chin.
"Another phrase I usually hear just before a person dies. Pay attention, Frenzy."
"Bugger off." Cain turned his eyes back to the ceiling. "I knoooooowww a giiiiirllll, wayyyyy bacckkk hoooo-OOOMMMEEE! She's the preeeettiiiesst giiiiirlll, you'llll EVER seee-eeee! She liiiiftsss her skirrrts," Cain sang a rather bawdy song very loudly and rather badly, deliberatly howling in parts. Nyx slapped him, claws out this time. Cain kept singing as the blood welled to the surface of the five parallel cuts.
"You pay attention, or I swear to the Eternal Mother, you will be in such pain!"
"Pain don't bother me none, girlie," Cain said as he cut his song shirt. "'m Frenzy for a reason. Pain don't bother me a'tall." He grinned at her, before returning to his song. Nyx growled and threw her hands up in disgust.
She couldn't actually hurt him much. It was a veto to her, and she so wanted to. He'd ruined her voice for a while until the vocal chords fully regenerated. She sounded husky and hoarse. She wanted vengeance for Vortigern and Nathan. She wanted to see blood flow and skin part. But she couldn't do any of those things. She spun on her heel and left, Cain's mocking song following her.
"Shhhheeee'sss the preeetttiesst girl, you eeevverrr diidd sseeee, withhh a cutttee dimple at the back of herrrrr knnneee-eee!" Well, Cain thought to himself, that went rather well. He grinned and started singing an even dirtier song.
Dawn
Dawn saw the stupid man refusing to talk to Nyx. Growling, she walked up to him.
"Hello there, Cain, remember me?"'
Cain
"Aw, look, girlie, how about, nah? Pity, you look liked you'd be a good lay." Cain licked his lips and grinned. "What a shame I can't remember you for the life of me. Disappointed?"
Dawn
"How about I'm the one who put you in that bed?" Dawn said, smiijng evily. "Slice you right up like an apple pie. I have the Scourge of Europe as my surrogate family, I know more about torture than you can dream of, so you will shut up now, and you will listen to Nyx. And then, you WILL tell her what she wants to know, My blood is in you now, and you are seriously going to regret that fdact." Dawn used the power of Janusz to move around Cain's internal organs, squeezing his heart almost to the point of bursting.
"Shall I rip his spine out, Nyx?" she asked the cat when the man refused to comply.
Cain and Nyx
"Xavier wouldn't like it, or don't you think he'd be dead by now?" Nyx glared at the man on the bed.
"Kill me or not, it's the thing I am. Death," Cain laughed, gasping with the agony Dawn inflicted on him but still managing to utter these whooping, insane laughs. "I have already *won*, girlie. You kill me, I've already done what I wanted to do. I've branded, and set the Mark. She's always gonna have it." His laughter rose into a scream and he convulsed on the bed.
"Better stop, Dawnie. Xavier wants him alive."
Dawn
Dawn pouted. "Fine." She slunked back into the corner and let Nyx finish.
Cain and Nyx
No matter what Nyx did, all Cain did was spit threats and curses, laughing like a hyena and screaming occasionally when the pain grew too much.
"Never break me, girlie," Cain croaked from bleeding lips. He coughed, and then spat blood in Nyx's face. She wiped it away calmly. "I'm Frenzy."
"So you keep saying. I wonder what a few days without human contact will do to you, hmmm?" Nyx waved her hands over him. "A spell to keep you fed, a spell to fix all your natural needs. No one will need to come in at all. Goodbye, Cain." Nyx took Dawn's arm and lead her from the room. "Have fun."
"You wait, girlie! I'll kill you yet! Rip you into pieces and dance the bloody Riverdance on them! Set you on fire! Eat your heart before-" Nyx closed the door behind them. Cain's screaming could still be heard faintly. "I'll tell Jean what's to be done. You go on up to class." Dawn left and Nyx surveyed the closed door solomnly. This had o be done. She just hoped he was still able to communicate when it was done. She went to find Jean.
