Sanity Lost: Eternity Will Pass (Part 3)
“You’re lucky you’re still alive.”
A/N: I finally managed to go over my words and add Ianthony to this story! YAY. Oh, and I just wanna say that this story might end really badly or really angsty but happily. ^-^’
Anthony has his eyes closed and his breath was still struggling to be caught even through his state of unconsciousness. David Moss chuckles at the sight before him and grabs his phone out-not even caring about the pouring rain-; he types in one of his contacts and smirks as the line clicks, “Sohinki, how’s the CFU monitoring doing?”
Matt Sohinki growls on the other line and he says, “Posing as a guard should’ve been easy.” Sohinki drops his head lower as another CFU employee passes him and outside the gate. “But it’s damn harder than your job, Lasercorn.” Sohinki snarls the other man’s nickname out.
David laughs darkly. “I’ll talk to you later, So-kinky.”
“I hate you.” Matt shakes his head and David ends the call.
David remembers the plan and mutters a curse. Shit, I’m supposed to bring Anthony to Ian. David looks around just for an extra measure of precaution. No one’s around. David considers his options for a second. Should I call up reinforcements? Or should I just do this by myself until I get to my car? David glances upward towards the light and finally makes his mind up.
Screw reinforcements. I’ll do this by myself. David thinks as he kneels beside Anthony again. He lightly slaps Anthony’s cheek and whispers, “You alive there, Padilla?” When the unconscious remains in his state, David nods. “I guess you are.” He summons up all his strength and wraps Anthony’s arm around his own shoulders. David then proceeds to raise himself up slowly, trying to keep himself and his victim balanced. You damn heavy thing.
As David walks over slowly to the direction of his car, he could feel the other man breathing beside him. David breaths out and takes four more steps forward. Why is this so hard? David rounds the corner and finds himself in the sight of another man smirking at the sight before him.
“You draggin’ your boyfriend over to your place?” The man says in the shadows.
David scoffs but goes along with it anyway. “This big guy was wasted, wanting to get home even before the party started.” Supporting his act, Anthony mumbles something in his unconscious state. The other man chuckles and David walks faster, still cautious about the past few minutes.
As they round another corner, David could finally see his black car fully parked only three blocks away from Anthony’s apartment. He opened the back seat and pushed Anthony inside. Once Anthony had already been put in position, David goes to the other side of the car and adjusts in the drivers’ seat. This will be interesting.

Back at a dark and isolated mansion, Ian starts tapping his fingers repeatedly on the library table top. He was feeling giddy. Lasercorn was supposed to be bringing in their haul fifteen minutes ago and there was no word from him or Sohinki. He looks around and when only the sight of books are present, he finally decides to make his phone call.
“Sohinki, where’s Lasercorn?” He growls to his colleague.
The voice on the other line is tired and a bit angry. “I don’t know, Ian. I’ve been keeping an eye on Ovenshire and Takahashi. What should I do with them?” Ian thinks about it for a second before he says,
“Leave a note.”
“What?” Sohinki’s voice echoes through the other line. “What do you mean?”
“Leave them a note,” Ian repeats, he stands up from his chair and walks toward a tall window, showing out the rainy night above him. “I wanna see how this will go.”
Sohinki stays silent for a minute before giving a quick ‘Yes’ and hanging up.
Ian drops the phone carefully back on the table, and he looks back through the window, the view making him grin darkly. Ian whispers one last thing before exiting the room,
“Anthony Padilla is mine.”
--- A/N: OH SHIT. Look at this possessive lil’ fucker!
Mari looks around cautiously, still not sure on whether the room- or even the building- they were in was safe. She looks over at Joven and sees the other man scanning around the other room and peeking at the laboratory tools and apparatuses spread around the room. She hesitantly calls out to the other man with a tilt of her head.
“Joven, are you okay?”
The other man’s head looks up quickly with fear on his face. But when he sees Mari calm- but nerved-, Joven relaxes a bit.
“Yeah, yeah, don’t worry about me I’m fine.”
“It doesn’t look like you’re fine to me.” Mari squints her dark eyes. “What are you doing?”
“Nothing,” Joven folds his arms in stubbornness. “Nothing you should be alert about.” He repeats.
Mari shakes her head at him. “Anthony wouldn’t like you acting like this, Joven.”
“He’d probably be going all like, ‘Joshua, that’s bullshit. I want you to be-“ Joven pauses in his words and alarm flashes on his face. “No. No! Anthony! I left Anthony all alone!”
“I’m sure he’s fine Joven!” Mari gasps out while Joven rushes for the doorway.
Halfway outside, Joven stops and breathes back to Mari, “But with what you’ve just shown me, I’m sure he’s not.”
Joven rushes out, turns the corner, and down the hallway to the elevator. He rapidly presses the button but as nothing happens, he mutters himself a curse and runs down the staircase, 2 steps at a time.
--- :L Is anyone even reading this? Idk.
Joven’s POV in Italics, Anthony’s in plain.
A bit of drowsiness and a whole lot of pain are the first things that Anthony could feel as he wakes up, still lying on the floor. He rubs his wrist and realizes that it is all patched up with a bandage wrapped around it. He finally opens his eyes, but sees nothing. What the fuck is happening? He looks around, but cannot make out any shape in his sight. Maybe I’m dreaming? Anthony thinks, but right at the next second, he could feel pain stabbing at him on his wrist. “Ow, shit.” Well, I guess not.
A sound rattles around the room and Anthony gasps as he gets on his knees, unsure of the environment around him. “Who’s there?”
--
Joven turns around the half of the staircase, muttering curses to himself. He couldn’t spare one second. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. He stomps his way down to the end of the staircase and finds himself still stuck in the dark unused area of the CFU building.
--
No one replies, but Anthony could hear the chuckle that comes out from the other person in the room. He looks toward the direction of the sound and grits out, “Who the fuck are you and what do you want from me?”
--
Joven strides through the hallway, meeting the glances of confused employees. He pushes one out of the way as he apologizes, “I’m sorry.” He runs faster now, motivated to keep his colleague safe.
--
Darkness is still the only thing Anthony could see as he hears footsteps approaching him. He stands up on his feet, still palming his wrist. “Tell me who you are.” Anthony growls. The footsteps continue to move closer and Anthony starts walking backwards, suddenly feeling the urge to crawl under a rock. Shit.
---
Joven has a sense of relief as he finally gets a view of the building’s exit. He gets his grip on the door’s handle and pushes with the strongest force he could muster inside of himself. Just as he was going to cross the street and to his car, he could feel his entire body being pulled into a dark alleyway.
--
Anthony keeps walking backwards, wary of his life and unable to predict the future of whatever was going to be done to him the next moments of his life. He feels something hit his foot and he stumbles down to the ground, his head hitting a wall behind him. He jolts in pain as he shouts, “Who the fuck are you and what do you want from me?”
“Oh, have you forgotten about me?” A silky voice asks on his 10 o’ clock. “It doesn’t seem as though you have.” I know this voice. No. Please, no. “Poor, sweet Padilla. You must’ve been crazy all this time trying to hide from us, haven’t you?” No. “You weren’t doing a good job with it.” No. “But it doesn’t matter anymore.” No. “I can make you crack, just make you break down in pieces, helpless and desperate for any amount of happiness in your life.” Don’t. “I have my hands on you now; and I can do whatever I please.” No, don’t. “I know who you really are Padilla. You can’t hide it from anyone else any longer.”
Anthony looks up, darkness still the only thing in sight and pain filling his entire body. He could barely see anything, but a dark outline of a young man could be made up in Anthony’s line of sight. “You can’t make me,” Anthony’s weak voice echoes all over the room. Anthony pulls one of his legs up and mutters darkly, “I’m strong enough, I can make my own decisions and I won’t give a crap about what you’re goin’ to say.”
The other man laughs darkly at the surge of forced optimism in his victim’s voice. “Do you really think that I would care about whatever you say?” Anthony’s eyes widen and he could hear footsteps come even closer. “I want to remind you that I have you trapped, under my control, just like fish caught in a net.”
Anthony’s eyes hang low and he decides to threaten his captor further, “I’ve always knew that you were the kind of person to do this.”
“I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t think that won’t do this.”
Anthony smiles in sadness. “I never thought I’d meet you like this again, Ian.”
Ian Hecox’s smile widens in the dark. He takes two more steps and pushes Anthony’s chin up, startling the man. The rain continues to fall heavily. A sudden bolt of lightning illuminates the two men; Anthony could perfectly see Ian with his menacing glare and Ian could see the immense pain and sadness in Anthony’s eyes. He opens his mouth to say something.
“I will fucking kill you, mark my words.”
Anthony’s entire thought line just snaps in two and breaks like ice, This is it, I’m dead.
