Chapter 6 06

How did the psychopath know Azxel's name?

The question had been dancing on Azxel’s mind since he left the library that day. Azxel knew he loved pain, but he didn’t expect it to be this intense. He loved every beat of what Sky did to him.

Was he crazy? He asked himself, his hands stroking his neck.

No. He was just confused and in a daze. Yea that’s it. In a daze. He was confused and didn’t know what was going on.

And besides, he wasn’t gay. He was as straight as can be. He didn’t like it. Matter of fact he hated it but no way in hell would he say that to Sky. He would ignore him.

Yea, ignore him. That would work, right? Of course, it wouldn’t. But it was worth a shot.

“Hey, it’s therapy session today. We are going to be meeting each and every one of our therapists. Are you cool with that?” Jaelen asked approaching him.

“Do I have a choice?”

“Of course you do. The school doesn’t force people to get therapy until they get episodes, I trust you won’t get one… for now. Right?”

Azxel didn’t bother answering.

He followed Jaelen quietly. When they got to the therapy room, some students were already sitting chatting with their friends beside them while some had a staring contest with the floor.

Azxel’s eyes immediately found Sky. Sitting at the back silently, wearing that same eerie smile. A chill ran down Azxel’s spine. He tried to focus on anything else, wishing the session would end fast or he could just leave.

“Alright, everyone,” the therapist before then started with a clipboard in hand. “We’ll start with introductions. Like you guys introduce yourself to your friends, your name, age, and why you all are here. As usual, you can skip answering if you don't want to.

A few students smiled to themselves, giving their names, ages and reasons they had been there and how greatly they have improved. Azxel kept glancing at Sky, every moment making his stomach tighten.

Finally, it was his turn to introduce himself. He sat down comfortably on his seat. His face had a stoic expression. “Azxel. Eighteen. Seriously, I don't know why I'm here.”

The doctor nodded. “Thank you, Azxel. That’s honest of you.”

Azxel nodded at him.

“Azxel,” the doctor said suddenly, looking at him directly, “how does it feel when someone knows things about you… things you didn’t tell anyone?”

Azxel froze. His eyes darted to Sky. He still wore an eerie smile, he was playing with a cube in hand, he raised his face up to stare at Azxel and Azxel immediately turned, afraid if being caught.

His body tensed but Azxel swallowed his nervousness with a chuckle. “What the heck is wrong with you guys and asking nonsense? How did you expect me to know if one knows about me?”

The doctor raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know, or you won’t say?”

Azxel’s gaze flicked to Sky again. “I said — I don't know!” He said menacingly.

“Tell me,” the doctor said calmly, “what do you feel when someone knows your secrets without you telling them?”

Azxel breathed a sigh of relief trying to let himself stay calm. With that, he walked out of the room with Jaelen running after him.

Jaelen noticed something was wrong with Azxel the moment they walked through the cafeteria doors.

His pale skin was flushed red and he was looking around everywhere seemingly trying to avoid something or...someone.

“No-don’t tell me you encountered Sky. You've been watching him during the therapy sessions and I was starting to get worried.” Jaelen had figured out.

“Yea I encountered him, and it was fucking I ...um-”

“Ok first calm down and tell me what happened,” Jaelen said trying to console his roommate he now takes as a friend.

Azxel told Jaelen everything leaving out the sexual parts and how he liked it and how he wanted more?

By the end Jaelen was stunned. “Why the hell would he want you? No offence your like good looking and whatever but like why would he want you? And he even mentioned your name.”

“How would I know dude he just came out of nowhere,” Azxel said hiding the fact that he went to look for him that night.

He was going to at least try not to encounter Sky again. He was trying to do the impossible.

How the hell would he get away from a literal crazy person.

While Jaelen tried to calm Azxel down and come up with a plan Sky was still in the therapy room skipping the dinner hour.

He thought about what he did and decided Azxel was the perfect one to play with.

Being the intelligent person he was he knew Azxel would try to get away from him in every way possible but he would find a way to play with him.

This was all a game to Sky and a fun one at that. He didn’t know what he would do to the poor boy yet but he knew he was going to play with him as much as he can until he would break.

Break...

What did Sky mean by break? Whatever it was, it wasn’t pleasant or it wasn't going to be.

Sky’s idea of breaking someone wasn’t ordinary.

Was it pushing them into madness? No

Was it crushing them with despair? I don't think so

How about twisting them into constant fear? That seems to be it, but that would be a little simple right?

Yes.

Sky was going for something far more personal.

Love.

You see when someone breaks up with another it is called breaking that person’s heart and Sky was all about breaking and seeing as he could break something so gentle as Azxel’s heart he took the chance.

And how would he do that?

Sky wasn’t one to give affection. He has never known love or how to love himself therefore he didn’t know how to love another.

So he would do it in the most worse way as possible.

He knew people liked affection so eye contact was one way to go at it. The most intense looks filled with lust and dark desires.

Another was physical touch. It seemed Azxel enjoyed what Sky did so he knew he would enjoy little subtle touches and of course pleasure and some harsh attacks.

And last but not least words. Sky was a simple boy with few words and when he did talk he repeated it again and again but with little bird words as Sky likes to call it Azxel would melt.

This combined would bring him the pleasure he wanted and succeed in breaking Azxel’s little poor heart.

Oh and don’t worry Sky won’t catch any feelings.

Come on. He’s a very unstable person, like he is the worst person as possible.

And wait. Did I mention, Azxel is just a pawn in this game, and as the game says. Everyone playing it was going to die!
