The Black Out

A pair of black eyes and a pair of silvery blue eyes were staring in tense at each other.

No, maybe, it was only the black eyes that were in tense, while the silvery blue eyes were staring at him hungrily.

Zhou Zhiqiang pursed his lips as he stared at the blond man in somewhat angry, cautious and relief feeling.

"What do you want?!" Zhiqiang asked again in tensed voice. The blond man was inside the cell therefore he must be a prisoner, right?!

Under the shadow, Zhiqiang saw the man titled his head at him. A smirk was still on his lips as he replied in his teasing tone. "You don't want my help, pretty doll?"

Zhiqiang scowled somewhat annoyed at the man tone. "Don't call me that, and I don't need your help."

"You sure, babe?" The man smirked further at him.

BANG!!

The van was slammed hard again by the monster's attack as if further proving his state to the blond man. The vibration was shaking the van hard for a while before stopping.

Zhiqiang pursed his lips and refused to say anything. He stared tensely at the monster outside. The door began to crack now. It would not last a few more attack from the monster. He was running out of time.

Inside the van was narrow because of the cell. The ceiling was also low, so he could not stand up properly. The only way to go out of the van was from the wrecked door. While behind him was a large cell that was caging the blond prisoner.

What did he thought the van was a good hiding place again? Zhiqiang thought in regret. But regretting would not solve his situation. So he instantly got rid of it and thought over his situation even more thoroughly.

His backpack only contained clothes and water bottle. He did not think a flashlight or lighter could help him in his situation. That only left him with his knifes. He stared at his only one large kitchen knife that was still stabbed in the monster's left eye. The monster seemed having a difficulty to pull out the knife with his claw. The knife was deep enough to hold in the eye but not deep enough to pierce the monster's brain.

Zhiqiang slipped his hand inside his pants back pocket and griped a knife's handle in there. The knife was small, only about a palm length. He did not think this small thing could help him to kill the huge monster. He bit his lips in anxious.

He could try to fight the monster again. If he was fast enough, maybe he could stab his knife in the vital part. However he knew his strength and speed could not beat the monster. He did not know if his body was strong enough to handle the monster's attack while he engaged the monster in battle of endurance.

The only thing that left was the cell behind him. He looked over the cell, trying to see if there was any door in there.

"There is nothing here, except iron cell, babe. You have to go through that monster to escape here." The blond man teased at him as if he knew what he was thinking.

Zhiqiang stared at the man suspiciously. "It is you who need my help to let you out of the cell."

The blond man chuckled in amused tone. "It makes us need each other help then, pretty doll."

"Do you really can help me against that monster?" Zhiqiang stared at him not convinced. Even the man could help him, what if the man betrayed him in the last second?

"I can help you to escape from that monster, sure, babe." The blond man said simply with a smirk.

Zhiqiang stared at him even more suspiciously. But the thought of the monster made him let out a sigh. It was not like he had any other choice.

After a moment of thought, he eventually looked over the cell. The cell had narrow iron nets, so the prisoner could not use his hand to open the lock from inside. The iron door was thick. He could not help but thinking what would happen to the blond man if he didn't come here.

After looking over the lock, he let out a small relief. Thankfully, the iron door was not using a key since searching the key would only complicate his situation even more. But he needed to understand the mechanism a bit. It was using some kind of magnetic lock. This was the first time he know the police was using this kind of lock. He pulled over the leaver, and rotated it a few times before a loud clicked was heard from the door.

He grabbed the door handle and paused to stare at the blond man. "What did you do to be caught by the police?" he suddenly asked in cautious tone.

The blond man titled his head and chuckled amusedly in low tone. "Why, you sure are fast, babe. We haven't even introduced each other names, but you already wanted to know my private life."

Zhou Zhiqiang pursed his lips in irritation. "I don't want you to suddenly hurt me or even kill me after we escape from here. Who know, maybe you are some kind of serial killer or even rapist to be caught here."

"Don't worry, I don't kill a beautiful doll like you, babe." The blond man smirked.

Zhiqiang glared at the man as he noticed the man didn't say anything about raping him. Even if the man did not plan to **** him, he could still try to hurt him. Just words alone would not make him believe in the man. He glanced at the monster behind the van, before finally gritting his teeth and pulled open the door.

A bit of sunlight immediately lighten up the cell from door. It was really just an iron cell inside it. Only a tiny glass window connected to driver seat was seen at the back of the cell.

He narrowed his eyes trying to see the blond man's appearance. A low jingle sound was heard from below. He looked down to see the man have iron shackles in his ankles and wrists.

"I don't have a key to release those." He said frowning. How was he supposed to help him against the monster if his limbs were shackled?

"Nah, you don't have to worry about this." The blond man said in lazy tone before splitting his arms in casual move till the chain between them was taut. Then with a strong pull, the iron chain was broken in loud cracks.

Zhiqiang widened his eyes in shock. He flinched backward as he saw the blond man was moving toward him. There was another loud crack sound as the man broke the chain between his ankles.

Zhiqiang quickly moved to the side of iron door cautiously, letting the man got out of the cell.

The blond man was huge, was the first thing that Zhiqiang thought as he finally saw the man in close sight. The narrow space inside the van instantly was squeezed empty by the man as he squatted beside him. He could see the thick muscles inside the man's arms and shoulder.

The second thing that was flashing in his mind as he saw the blond man's face was…

He was so handsome…

The man had a pure Caucasian looks. Ash blond hair, pretty blue eyes, and handsome sculpted face like a high aristocrat. The man was full of masculine aura.

"Hmm, as expected, you are more beautiful from a closer look, doll." The man praised appreciatively as he pinched the younger man's jaw and moved it from left to the right.

Zhiqiang flinched back in surprise, not realizing since when their face were so close. He furrowed his eyebrow in distaste and glared coldly at the man. "You said you will help me."

"I did, didn't I?" The man teased with a grin.

"Then hurry up! I am hungry!" Zhiqiang said angrily as he pushed the man to the door.

"Mm, so you want a dinner as our first date, doll? Not bad, meat roast is sound good, right babe?" The blond said with a teasing tone again. But he still moved his body closer to the door.

Zhiqiang just glared at him to shut up which the man replied a bright grin.

After a while the blond man finally turned to observe the monster seriously. The monster was still glaring at the van from outside. Growling would sometimes be let out by it in anger.

He rubbed his chin in curious expression as he said again. "You sure are attracting a beast, babe." But from his tone, there was not any sign of him scared to the monster. Zhiqiang even heard an excitement from the man's voice. This man must be crazy.

Zhiqiang glanced at him suspiciously. Somehow his fear was disappearing because of this man. He did not know why, but after the man sat beside him, his guard suddenly fell down a little. This thought immediately made him alert again. Zhiqiang furrowed his eyebrows in thought, feeling even odder. There was just something about the man that was pulling him. However no matter he thought about it, he could not think the reason.

"What's your plan?" He glanced at the man.

"Plan?" The man grinned again at him. "You wanted to know?"

"What is it?" Zhiqiang stared at him suspiciously.

The blond man just grinned and pointed his finger at him to call him closer.

Zhiqiang stared at him even more suspiciously. After a moment, he moved closer to the man to listen to what he said

"What is it—Mmph?!"

A large hand suddenly pulled his neck forward and a pair of lips was crushing to his lips.

Zhiqiang widened his eyes in shock. His body immediately stiffened. The blond man didn't even give him a chance to respond as he gripped him even closer. Then his lips were being bitten hard by the man and hot tongue was entering his mouth.

Zhiqiang grunted stiffly in surprise. He pushed the man's shoulder to resist in frantic. But the man gripped him even stronger. His jaw was forced open and his tongue was s.u.c.k.e.d by the man. A low m.o.a.n escaped his mouth without permission. His breathing stuttered. Dizziness started to rush to his head as all his breath was taken away. As if the man had kissed him before, he aroused pleasurable parts in his mouth easily. His body felt weak as he unconsciously swept by p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e taste of the kiss

But this kiss, if it was even called a kiss, was s.u.c.k.i.n.g all of his energy. It was really rough and full of bites. The man was s.u.c.k.i.n.g, biting his lips, and l.i.c.k.i.n.g his mouth without care. No even an inch of his mouth was left. Hot and impatient tongue swept inside his mouth s.u.c.k.i.n.g all his breaths and fluids. The man was kissing him as if he wanted to suck him empty.

After a while, the blond man finally let go of his lips. He licked the saliva on his chin hungrily as if could not get enough before really releasing him. A dangerous glint was flashing in the silvery blue eyes as the man stared at younger man's red lips. He licked his lips deliciously before smirking in satisfied tone, "Sweet!"

"You—!!" Zhiqiang glared in anger, his body fell down weakly. His breaths were panting hard. He really wanted to punch the man to pulp, but his body felt weak for a moment.

The blond man grinned at him and said teasingly, "Wait after the dinner, babe," and without waiting any response he suddenly kicked open the door and jumped at the monster without warning.

"What—?!" Zhiqiang jumped in taken back. But the blond man already rushed to the monster. The monster roared excitedly and he pounced at the new prey.

That f.u.c.ker!!!

Zhou Zhiqiang cursed. He really should not believe at that f.u.c.ker!!!

Zhiqiang quickly got out of the van too. He walked in cautious motion to avoid the battle. Thankfully, the monster was focused to the blond man so it didn't bother to him who was trying to get away.

If the man showed any sign of losing from the monster, he would immediately run on the spot!

However, after a while, he was surprised to find the blond man was as strong as the monster. It had been a few minutes, but the blond was not showing any sign of losing. He even punched the monster hard a few times, causing it roaring in pain. He realized the blond man was really huge. Although not extremely muscular, but the man was tall, almost two meter in height. No wonder he could hold his ground against the monster that was about in same height.

The monster pounced angrily at the man who equally rushed without fear. They were crashed in the middle, pushing at each other. The man grabbed hard the jaw of the monster, preventing it from biting him while the monster kept pushing its jaw to bit the man torso. They fell into stalemate as their strength was equally pushing at each other.

The monster was glaring in anger at the blond man. But the man was just grinning in excitement. The ground was cracking as the man's feet pushed down even more strength to hold his foot. Muscles were crackling strongly on his thick arms. Then he forced all his strength to his grip on the monster jaws and then with unbelievable power, the blond lifted the monster's body using its jaw and slammed away the monster to ground in loud bang.

Zhiqiang inhaled a breath sharply as he saw the man's strength.

The monster rolled into the ground roaring in pain and anger. It tried to lift his body again, but found out no strength from his body.

The blond man walked toward it curiously. "Done?"

The monster was growling in anger as a reply. Its body was trembling and full of pain, but it still forced to lift his body with difficulty and prepared its body to attack again.

"What are you doing?! You should kill it already!!" Zhiqiang shouted in irritation seeing the man was just lazy around observing monster's pain.

"Hm?" The blond man titled his head toward him in question. A teasing smirk was on his lips as he looked at the black hair man. The man opened his mouth to say something, but paused when Zhiqiang widened his eyes in fear as he cried out. "Watch out!!"

The monster suddenly attacked again with its last strength. Its sharp jaw opened wide to bite the man shoulder. The man turned his head quickly, but the monster was too fast and crashing to the man sharply.

Zhiqiang cursed out as he saw the man was thrown hard to the ground with the monster bit his shoulder. He ran toward them before pausing immediately in a few steps.

F.u.c.k!! He should just run now instead!! The man was so dead!!

Zhiqiang cursed in his mind and he turned around his body. But after a few steps he could not move again. His morality could not let him to just leave the man dead like that. He also felt guilty if the man was dead because of fighting the monster to help him.

Zhiqiang gritted his teeth as turned his body again. But the scene in front of him immediately made his froze.

A laughing was suddenly heard from the blond man. It was loud and full of excitement. Zhiqiang didn't know why, but he felt a chill was spreading to his spine as he heard the laugh.

The man tried to lift his body, but the monster got his shoulder in its jaw. Growling angrily was the monster refused to release its bit. A crushing sound was heard as it bit even harder.

The man narrowed his eyes in disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. "You are not cute at all," he said in flat tone before with a sudden force, the man slammed the monster away to the side. Then with a speed that a normal human could not see, the man pounced at the monster with a large knife in his right hand.

SLASH!!

The knife swung with strong force to the monster stomach. Blood immediately spurted out staining the man's face. But he ignored it without expression and stabbed the monster again repeatedly with a fast speed.

The monster roared aloud in pain, struggling to get away. But the man gripped it with strong force and kept stabbed it without mercy. It was bloodbath. The man kept swung his knife hundreds times before the monster finally let out a last w.h.i.n.e and didn't move again.

Zhiqiang inhaled a sharp breath. His body was frozen to the spot as he saw the cruel scene. The man didn't stop his knife even after the monster stopped moving. Blood was spurting out everywhere bathing the man in a lot of blood. But it was not the blood that made him felt chilled in fear.

It was the man's expression.

The blond man was smiling. His blue eyes were blazing in excitement and bloodl.u.s.t as if torturing the monster was the most interesting thing in the world.

The man stopped his stabbing after a while. He titled his head in disappointment as he saw the monster was really dead. He then turned his face to look at the black haired man.

Zhiqiang held his breath sharply. He could not stop his body to flinch a few steps back in fear when the man was staring at him with his blue eyes.

The blond man titled his head at him in curiosity. He stood off from the monster body and raised his knife to clean it with his bloody shirt. "Are you afraid?" he asked in curious tone.

Zhiqiang forced his body to not flinch. He recognized the knife as his kitchen knife that he used to stab the monster's eye. He swallowed with difficulty to hide his fear. But the man noticed it as his blue eyes suddenly turned cold.

"N-nothing!" Zhiqiang immediately replied stiffly. He shook his head quickly and forced his body to calm down. He cleared his throat discreetly. "It's nothing."

Then as casual as he could, he turned his body to the van as distraction. "I wanted to check the the van." He explained with a tone as calm as he could and walked toward the front door of the van.

The man didn't answer. Zhiqiang also didn't dare to glance behind him, so he quickly turned his focus to the van as if he was not actually wanted to run away from the man.

There was a large tree root that was breaking through the drive seat. Zhiqiang saw a police man was dead in his seat with the root was stabbing his body. It was gruesome. Thankfully the door was not locked.

He held his breath quickly as unpleasant smell of decayed body reached his nose after he opened the door. He then searched the police man's clothes, carefully avoiding the rotting body. It was bit difficult as the large root was half covering the body. But he let out a low relief sound as he finally found what he was searching for. It was a gun. He didn't know what type, but it similar to a revolver and the bullets was still full inside.

He took a quick glance to the blond man who was still on the monster corpse and discreetly slipped the revolver inside his jacket.

He searched the police body again, but did not find anything again except a ring of key. He stared at the key for a moment before finally taking it.

Zhiqiang then walked around the van to open the other side of door. He immediately searched the passenger seat and the front compartment. He did not find anything except a lighter, some tobacco and a black briefcase.

He opened the briefcase to only find some doc.u.ments inside. With a disappointment he closed the briefcase again. But as his hand lifted the lid, a flash of picture caught his eyes. He paused and picked the doc.u.ment carefully.

It was the blond man's photo. It was half body photo with his face facing camera. The blond man had same clothes he wore right now.

Below the picture was his name.

[Dominick Black, 28 years old.]

There was a brief description about the man's appearance, birthdate, height and so on below the name. Zhiqiang flipped the page uninterested. His dark eyes paused as he read the next page. It was list of crimes of the blond man.

His black eyes widened a little as he read the crime.

[Killing. Victims : 2 people, a woman and a man]

There was a brief description of the incident and the way of killing. But the date told him it happened a week ago.

He skipped to next page briefly, finding more curious about the next crime. The next page was about a past crime. But his dark eyes widened in shock as soon as he read the incident date and the age of blond man when it happened.

[At the age of ten, Dominick Black killed his own family which consisted of father, mother and sister.]

Zhiqiang inhaled his breath sharply. He skipped the description to the special information that was added in lower page.

There, in capital bold texts, one sentence was listed.

[Diagnosed as a Psychopath]

Zhiqiang stared blankly at the bold text. But his hand was trembling hard in gripping the paper, showing the fear he was feeling right now.

"What are you reading?"

The blond man's voice was heard beside him. Zhiqiang flinched hard and quickly turned around to hide the paper. But it seemed he was not fast enough as the blond man's eyes immediately narrowed his eyes as he stared at the paper behind Zhiqiang's back.

"Ah that…" The blond man murmured. A dark glint flashed in his blue eyes in a second before vanished again. The blond man raised his eyes to stare at the black eyes interestedly.

Zhiqiang held his breath and he stared back to the blue eyes in a forced calm.

They stared at each other for a while before low chuckles was released by the blond man.

The man titled his head at him curiosity. A teasing smirk was curled at the corner of his lips as he said in a low magnetic voice.

"Well, doll, are you regretting for releasing me now?"
