Chapter 178 Chapter 178 What is your name?
That proved to be a fatal miscalculation.
Though she was right in front of him, his looming big body was shrouding everything else before her. Because his hands were clasped behind him, she didn't see when Nexus moved his forefinger.
If she had, she would have ducked.
And even if she had ducked, she wouldn't have gotten away in time.
But because she didn't see anything. So, when she began to pick up the echo of chains rattling, it was already too late. Instinct kicked in, and her head jerked in the direction of the disturbing sounds- upwards.
Her face went white.
From above, out from the white void, long stretches of pure black metal came descending on her. Her lips parted in a shriek as she jumped back- leaping away from Nexus- trying to escape the impending chains.
Like a web, and in an 'X' like formation, the loud clanging metals bore down on her- raging downwards at an unnatural speed.
Nexus' eyes sank deeper into the hollow of his sockets- watching with a dark expression.
Cold, black, and thick as a child's wrist, the series of linked metal rings slithered around her left arm and right arm- stretching her out like a lamb at the slaughter house. Her legs were not spared either.
On her face, her jaw dropped, and her eyes went round in shock as the fetters of iron wormed under skirt- snaking around each leg like live serpents- forcing them apart- till she was standing with her hands spread out above, and her legs spread out beneath.
Like a human 'X' she stood there- eyebrows lifted him, and eyes puffed- shocked to the bone.
Still with his hands folded behind him, Nexus walked up to her. Staring at her fiery red eyes, he asked in a flat tone;
"What is your name?"
But she wasn't listening. Her eyes were shot upwards- staring in unbelief at the black chains that were suspended in space- tugging at them- frustration creeping through in rapid succession.
"Don't waste your breath. You know they're not giving way. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"
Jerking her hands and pulling downwards, she tugged and tugged, forcing the metal rings to give way. But the chains refused to budge. On her arms, with her sleeves lowered down- a network blue veins screamed out against her skin.
Clanging sounds dogged her every movement.
Nexus stood before her- eyes serious, arms folded at his back, watching quietly. Patiently waiting in silence- looking every inch the 'master.'
Realizing she was simply wasting her time- she stopped yanking on the chains. And slowly, leveled her gace- staring directly at Nexus. Cold defiance burned in her eyes. She knew what this next part was.
Nexus, still as ice, said patiently;
"We can do this all day- all year, forever. All I have is time." he asked again; "What is your name girl?"
"I'm not telling you shit," she spat; "You might as well get on with whatever it is you're planning to do. Torture right?! You think this is my first rodeo?! I can't be broken! Especially not in some wonderkid's version of an illusion!"
Her words- desperate, spicy, and filled with hate- sliced through the all white world.
In the background, silence reigned with a raging loudness. There wasn't a single sound- not the chirping of crickets, not the howling of the wind, not even the rustling of trees bowing to the rushing breeze.
Disappointed- Nexus shifted his weight.
From behind him, both arms unfolded- long and sleeved.
With the rest of his body still- like a huge looming bat, his arms appeared by his sides. Red girl watched him furtively through her long hairy lashes. Her veins throbbed wildly- feeling the stretching impact of the iron fetters.
"Well," Nexus said; "At least I tried to be a gentleman. . ."
Instantly, the girl's eyes flipped wide open.
"Wait– what?"
In one graceful stride, Nexus closed the gap between them- putting him at barely an arm's length away. Getting up close and personal, he stretched forth his hands- both of them, and landed on her thighs.
Her round eyes widened- jutting out her bulging eyes;
"Don't you fuckin' touch me!" she yelled; "Don't you dare lay your hands on me!"
Ignoring her implicitly, his fingers curved into a grip- digging into the flesh of her thighs. He heard her gasp- like a cornered animal.
Picking her skirt, his fingers separated the fabric from her skin, slowly lifting it up- dragging, and dragging- exposing her ankle length boots.
"What is your name?"
"GO TO HELL!!"
He pulled up her skirt higher- showing two pillars of pale white hairless flesh- surrounded by black chains. Writhing and fighting, she growled- forcing her hands to move- willing her Blood Moon eyes to activate and end this farce!
But her skirt only continued to go up higher and higher. Her blood ran cold when she felt the cold against her knee caps. Nexus paused- but only a moment to gather up the generous folds in his palms- before heaving them up- jerking it upwards- all the way to her waist!
"What is your name girl?" he asked again.
Through her fiery red eyes- hate spewed out in generous quantities;
"I'm going to kill you. . ." she whispered coolly; "I'm going to burn you so slowly, they'll have nothing left of your boneless corpse to bury except a pile of smoldering ashes, and a clutter of charred teeth–"
Suddenly- she felt his hands slide under her skirt- creeping along the breadth of her bum, sliding across her soft flesh ass in gentle- almost tender movements. Beneath the folds of cloth, his fingers found the outline of her panties sitting on her waist.
Greedily, he dug in.
Curling his fingers around the edges, he tugged forcefully- and the weak fabric gave away. Dedicatedly, Nexus continued to pull and pull- drawing her draws down- slipping them over the curve of her ass, skillfully avoiding touching her organ.
On the girl's puffy face- blood rushed to her cheeks. Her eyes glistened. Her lower lip quivered, and her jaw began to unclench as the rest of her panties slid below her thighs- dropping at her knees.
Nexus paused.
Then repeated the four worded question;
"What is your name?"
Arms stretched out above her, the girl's head sat between her shoulders- bent forward, with her long auburn hair falling across her face.
For a moment- she remained so still. Till a single word escaped her mouth;
"Stacy."
"What?"
"My name is Stacy," she whispered without emotion; "Stacy York."
An involuntary sight rasped out of Nexus' nose. Quickly, while she was still cooperating, he followed up with a second question;
"And what exactly is your business with Selina? Why do you want to kill her so bad?"
Voice, barely above a whisper, she muttered flatly;
"She's a job."
"Care to elaborate on that?"
Her body heaved as she inhaled deeply;
"Selina's name came up as a high profile assignment, so I took it up. She's supposed to die."
