Turning A Good Slave Bad [Iugo/Open]

[Kyle Roberts]

Children. They were one of the only joys in Kyle's otherwise black life. He simply adored them, and everything about them. It was a strange thing really. Kyle rarely showed any sort of emotion unless he was around Sarah, though he was getting a bit better in that regard. However when it it came to the children, he could be found freely smiling and laughing.

Take for example how he was behaving at this moment. He was currently stalking up and down the halls, looking in every nook and cranny. Stopping by a large vase he lifted the lid, peering inside. Why? He was playing hide and seek.

He'd woken this morning, with nothing much to do. His mistress had no errands for him today, and Sarah was off with her new mistress. To be honest he wasn't sure how to take the boogie, but as long as she treated Sarah well then he had no qualms with her. And so, bored, he had decided to wander about the palace. Shortly after leaving his room he was ambushed by a small black haired girl, a little brunette boy latching onto his leg a split second later. He laughed as the girl did the same, stomping down the hallways with the two in tow. However they'd soon grown bored, as all children do, and demanded that he hide so they could find him.

Now he scratched at the back of his head, wondering where they could have gone. He hadn't thought they'd gone far, but apparently they'd gone farther than he'd thought. Meandering down the hall, he put his hands to his mouth as he yelled. "Guys? You can come out now. I give up" He waited for several minutes, but no reply came. The tall brunette frowned, moving on ahead. Where the hell could they be?

Children. They were on e of the many joys in Iugo's bloody life. He simply adored them, especially when they bled... The sound of their bones breaking, their pitiful cries for help when they called out for mercy. But Mercy never answered their calls... Only Agony. The many pleasures a child could bring the demented was literally limitless, more so for those that know the anatomy of the being they cut and dig into.

This morning, Iugo had awoken, smiling as he did nowadays. Why? Every night he would bury himself in the mound of decaying children he collected in the dungeon, snuggling up to arms, cuddling legs, and holding close the matted blood-soaked hair of the heads of those no longer living. It was almost better than sex! Almost. Unfortunately Iugo wasn't one to just pick up a tramp and have a nice horizontal tango. There was the thought of true love, after all. ...HA!

Moving down the hall after leaving the dungeon, his ears pricked up, hearing the laughter of two children. A boy and a girl? Yes... Both very young... And at this hour? Oh, priceless... He needed breakfast. Smelling of Death himself, he phased into the nearest wall, allowing the smell to dissipate from the hallway, letting the children think only of the regular smells that the Palace had to offer daily. The girl ran by first, diving off into a side room. The boy giggled as he rounded the corner. That was his last mistake. Reaching out as quick as a viper, the cold hands wrapped out the boys neck and mouth, muffling the last noises he would ever make. He was swiftly pulled to the wall and... CRUNCH!

Silly reader... Humans can't go through walls...

The boy wasn't entirely dead when Iugo poked out of the wall, smiling sweetly down at the boy. But instead of consoling him, he bent down and bit into the boy's neck. Paralyzed, the boy's eyes darted back and forth in fear and pain as he was slowly eaten alive...

Ten minutes later, with the chest cavity empty, Iugo stood up, wiping the blood from his lips. He promptly walked to the door, leaving a trail of evident blood in his wake, and placed his hand on the knob before he heard a voice.

"Guys? You can come out now. I give up."

The tone was far too sweet to be any boogie. Slipping inside the well-furnished room, he turned, eyes glancing about. She was behind a curtain, giggling to herself. Grinning, teeth stained red with his fresh meal, blood dripping off his toes as he levitated to the girl, waiting for a moment, relishing the tension he felt before he would sprign and grab her.

Iugo loved seconds.

Scratching at the back of his head a bit, he made his way farther down the hall. He really had no idea where those two could have gotten too. There weren't any rooms around here for them to hide in, or at least none that he knew of. And as small as they were, it would have taken them a while to get very far. And so he wandered on in confusion.

And then he turned a corner, and his stomach dropped through the floor. There in front of him lay the little boy, his chest ripped open. Kyle suddenly felt an odd pressure on his throat, and put a hand to it. The next moment he promptly bent over a nearby vase, tasting his breakfast for the second time. There were tears in his eyes as he looked back up, staring at the single bloody corpse. It took him a moment to realize what that meant, the little girl might still be alive. Immediately he looked around, spotting the obvious trail of blood. Without a thought he ran down the hall, pulling the door open.

Looking across the room, the first thing he saw was Iugo. The second was the tiny girl's feet sticking out from under the curtains. With a silent snarl he picked up a wooden statue sitting on a nearby pedestal. Then he advanced on the boogie. Before the psychopath could turn he slammed the thing into the back of his skull, the stature shattering into a spray of splinters from the force of the impact. The girl peeked her head out to locate the source of the sudden noise, and Kyle immediately grabbed her up. Then he turned and ran for the door.

[Doctor Nationis]

The boogie was reaching for the girl. Her skin was so ripe... It would make a great course to finish of his his morning meal with a sweet girl such as this! She seemed to be a virgin, too... That was always a plus when choosing dessert! But before his hands even reached the cloth, he suddenly felt an explosion of pain at the back of his skull. Crying out more in surprise than in pain, he crouched, grabbing his head. His vision blurring for a moment, before he turned and saw a shape pick up another shape and leaving quickly. ...His food!

The vision turned red as rage took over pain, sending Iugo into a fury so far unmatched in Wonderland. Naelona may have been pissed when a boogie misbehaved, Tristan may have been a tad bit upset when one of his humans were messed with, and Augusta may have a hatred that was unrivaled for years for boogies...

But now Iugo was unhappy.

Baring his teeth, still red with the blood of the innocent boy, he let out a primal roar, that would make even a labby beast tremble if they knew what was to come. Snatching up the largest splinter of the once-statue, the boogie ran after Kyle, glasses left on the floor, cigarettes falling out besides them as the nearly naked man charged. If Kyle wanted to live to see another happy child's face, hear their glorious laughter, play their fun games... He would need to run much faster from the ghostly boogie who only had the intention to kill. And kill. And kill. And kill.

[Kyle Roberts]

Hearing the boogie behind him, Kyle immediately picked up his pace. His mind was racing, going over every possible scenario of escape. Unfortunately, every one of them pointed towards death for the both of them. He was positive that he couldn't outrun this boogie, and so he would have to try an outsmart him. The only problem with that was, Kyle was far from a master strategist. He had common sense, could handle most anything life through at him and see how to deal with it. But book smarts were something that he lacked, and just so happened to be what was required in this particular situation. And so his heart and his mind were running full tilt along with his body, desperately searching for a way out.

Meanwhile the little girl, still unaware of what was going on, peeked out through a space between Kyle's arm and his body. As she caught sight of the crazed boogie the terror was instantaneous, as was the earsplitting scream it brought forth. Kyle briefly flinched, before it suddenly hit him. He was hit by a sudden resolve, and blocked out the inevitable outcome. Reaching the door he flung it open, setting the girl down outside it. "Run."

With that he slammed it shut, locking the door as he turned. Chances were, Kyle was going to die. Thoughts of Sarah flashed through his head as he faced down the swiftly approaching boogie. Clenching his jaw and his fist he roared, rushing forward and sending is fist straight into the psychotic bastard's face.

[Doctor Nationis]

The girl had escaped?! Iugo's eyes went wide with rage, surprised, and even more crazy. Never would Iugo forget this. Never would this boy be forgiven for ruining his second breakfast! But now there was something else on his mind. There was a fist flying at his face... That's not good. Jerking his head to the side, the fist brushed past the boogie's head, the hair moving as if a powerful wind had blown by. That was close... But now Iugo was even more enraged. Giving another roar, the Doctor threw his own fist, this one aimed for Kyle's jaw. It should be noted that even if Iugo looked small and even a bit gangly, he was far more powerful than a human with the same body build.

Iugo had no real coherent thoughts running in his mind at the moment. Just to hurt this boy. Hurt 'em real good. But also to catch the girl. The thoughts bounced back and forth, back and forth! Both were of the utmost priority, yet they couldn't be accomplished at the same time! Times like this the boogie wished he was one of the boogies with the duplicating power. That way he could increase his cutting exponentially! But alas, he only could do things one at a time... And there were plenty of little girls to eat later. After dealing with this lousy boy, of course. ...Perhaps he would taste good?

[Kyle Roberts]

He was going to die. That's what every fiber of his being was screaming at him. There was no way for him to escape this boogie, and the creature only had one thing in mind. Kyle could see it in his eyes, he was out for death. Even so, he refused to run. Self survival had never been something he was concerned with, he'd only made it this long because he was taking care of Sarah. This wasn't about Sarah, but he was still responsible for keeping someone safe. And when it came to to protecting others, it was root hog or die.

When his fist missed Iugo's face, he was already moving to avoid the return blow. Thus when Iugo swung, all he hit was air. Kyle had ducked below the boogies arm, and now brought his own up. He sent a crushing blow straight into the bottom of the boogies chin. Kyle might not have been much of a fighter, but as a brawler he was pretty damn good.

[Doctor Nationis]

The blow landed with what would be a satisfying clicking noise as his jaw was slammed shut by the fist. The boogie held an expression of surprise, before the grin flashed again. Boogie's were much tougher and stronger than humans, save for the few very weak ones. But Iugo was happily placed in the middle for strength and endurance. That would be more than enough to win this fight many times over. The grin showed Kyle exactly what Iugo was thinking: This was going to be an easy kill. Taking a step back as the momentum carried from Kyle's blow, the foot firmly planted in the ground simultaneously raising the hand equipped with the large splinter. And down it fell, through the air, hitting Kyle's exposed shoulder, and continuing on, piercing the flesh and exiting the other side, victoriously ripping the other side, scraping horribly against his shoulder blade.

Holding onto the make shift weapon, he gave it a mighty twist, blood seeping from his teeth from the young boy from earlier. Normally, Iugo would say something rather hurtful and downright mean. But as his eyes held a crazed look that would make any labby beast whimper and run away, knowing that only Death himself could give those eyes away. And to those that would make his business boom. Instead of a smart comment or evil remark, Iugo let our another primal roar, this one deep from his diaphragm. Specks of blood from the little boy mixed with Iugo's vile spit would land on Kyle's face, causing him further discomfort than jsut a simple piece of wood sticking out of his body.
