Game #2 - Why Does It Rain? | THAYER |

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

As soon as he entered the room, the lights shot on. He flinched slightly as the ultra bright lights hit his eyes. He kind of staggered, but his vision cleared up. Right now, under this lights the blotchy redness and scarring over his body would make him look like a friggin' zombie. He looked around as he went inside, but his attention was drawn to a large glass window. Walking up, he looked through it still squinting. He could kinda see something, something moving in the next room but he couldn't exactly see what it was. Annoying, what kind of game was this. But then looking to his side, he saw it. A large button, with a note above it revealing tempting yet scary words; PRESS ME! He looked at it, and then looked to the glass. Okay, if this guy who was testing him had done one thing right; it was that he never tricked Eli. A rigged button would be unfair, and against the rules. So moving over with a slightly limp, he pressed the button. In a way - he regretted it.

The lights in the room flashed on brightly again, and immediately he heard a rumbling. Not of a kind of godzilla presence, but some kind of water pump. He could see it filtering above as his vision trailed down. Then he saw them. At first he didn't recognize him, but then it snapped. The tated suit, the high hair and the cuteness about him; it was Thayer. Seeing him, Eli's eyes went wide. He banged his hand on the window, looking at him. "Thay!". He yelled, and then scanned the wall. There was no door, what the fuck was he going to do? Thayer was in a tank with a large hose attached to the top, and a button on a panel sat in front of Thayer. Looking next to Thayer was another tank, and a guy turning towards him. At first he didn't recognize him, but then it snapped into him. It was Roger, his best friend in high school.

"Roger? Roger, it's Eli Diastone. Are you okay?". Eli asked, and searched for something. Another button, a weapon to break the glass or something. But there was nothing. Then suddenly, a large flicker appeared on the wall inside the room with the tank, covering a large square on the wall. A projector was setting a film on the wall, and it was the same creepy doll, and the same red eyes as the creepy head twisted to face them. Eli was breathing heavily against the glass as he looked at the doll, to here what this task was.

Wide eyed with horror, Eli looked from the now static projection to his two friends. They both knew the truth, and they both had a reason to want him dead. But it was now up to them, to do this....[/blockquote]

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

Thayer had a raging headache, all he could remember was him talking to this guy and talking him up, next thing he knew he had a blow to the back of his head and now he woke up here. As his eyes slowly opened he could see a figure walking towards him, but it seemed this figure was behind a window of some sorts. He wasn’t sure, he slowly caressed the back of his head where he felt he got hit. It had a slight lump but it did hurt like hell. But he jumped as he heard someone pounding onto the glass, Thayer slowly caught himself and realized, the figure he saw walk into the room, was Eli, his old roommate. But what surprised Thayer even more was, Eli wasn’t the one behind a glass, it was him, he was trapped inside a glass like aquarium, with nothing more than a button and the top of it being open. But a way out it certainly wasn’t. Eli banged on the glass, trying to get Thayer’s attention as he slowly looked up at her and he just nodded a bit, signaling he was okay. Though soon enough, Eli’s attention was somewhere else as Thayer looked at the side and he could see someone else inside the same like aquarium like him, and Eli was quickly pounding on that one as well. Was this another test from Emery he wondered? Was this one of her tests to make him stronger? But that couldn’t be the case, Emery didn’t know Eli, she couldn’t have done this. This was completely out of her territory. She was all about challenging him but she would never put him in something like this.

Or was this Selena’s doing? It couldn’t be, it wasn’t her. She was dead, he saw her grave, she was dead, it couldn’t be her. Then suddenly, a large flicker appeared on the wall inside the room with the tank, covering a large square on the wall. A projector was setting a film on the wall, and it was the same creepy doll, and the same red eyes as the creepy head twisted to face them. The doll started talking about Eli and how he was one of those responsible for Thayer’s mother’s death. He couldn’t believe it as a tear slowly fell down his cheek, as this creepy doll talked about Eli being one of those responsible for his mother’s death. Thayer couldn’t believe it, his friend, his roommate, responsible for killing the one person he has wasted years looking for. Why would he do that, why did he do it. But Thayer didn’t have time to think on that now, the news was suddenly revealed, there was hot boiling water awaiting him, Thayer was speechless he had nothing to say other then. “What the fuck” Only one of them was going to live, it was Thayer or this Roger guy who was seemingly friends with Eli. Thayer was determined to make sure that person was going to be him. And as the screen turned black and the creepy ass doll disappeared, the clock started and the games, have begun.

Thayer was finally on his feet, pounding on the glass screaming at Eli, angered, furious but completely forgetting the clock is ticking and time is running out. “Eli….You killed my mother!!! The very last piece of family I have, how could you” Thayer pounded on the glass, tears slowly falling down his cheeks completely broken and saddened by this news. While next to him, this Roger Character was pounding on the glass, questioning Eli, wanting to know what the truth is. Either way, both of them were in some form screwed over by Eli. Something both of them had to live with and Eli never bothered to tell them what really happened, especially Eli, who knew the truth. Thayer was angered and just staring at Eli, in disappointment, with anger, with every emotion imaginable till a sudden loud scream was heard next to him, Roger was already starting, they did have 3 minutes to get everything at the water level of thirty. Thayer had no choice, if he wanted to live, he had to do it too. Thayer stared at the button as he got down to his knee, and just stared at the button, his life was about to be in danger and it was up to him to save his own ass. Thayer put both hands on each other and then pressed down on the button and then, he could see it, suddenly water slowly filling the glass box, so slowly filling and within seconds he felt it, the sudden burning feeling, his hands were the first to go.

The water was boiling hot, he has never felt anything this hot his whole entire life. And the water was just going slowly, slowly rising, inch by inch, slowly burning his skin, he could feel his knees burning, his toes being burned to crisps by the boiling hot water, Thayer bit his lips, trying to with hold the pain as he could hear next to him Roger, screaming his lungs out, constantly removing his hand from the button. Changing his hands any second he got. Thayer wasn’t going to do that, he was going to withhold this pain, his eyes, deadlocked on Eli, as he focused on nothing more than getting revenge but his focus couldn’t remain there anymore, the pain was becoming too much, he could feel his shoes slowly burning attached to his skin because of the heat, the pain that this super hot water was causing him was beyond words. Tears started rolling down his eyes, he was dealing with so much pain not only the fire hot water burning him, or the fact that Eli had something to do with his mother’s death. “FUCK!!!!!” Thayer screamed out as the pain became beyond his control and just too much. It was too much, he wasn’t sure he could make it through, he was going to die, he just knew it, he didn’t have it in him, he couldn’t do this anymore, he just couldn’t. “I can’t do this!! I can’t!!” Thayer cried out, as the boiling hot water slowly continued to rise, slowly burning his body, reaching up onto his forearms slowly making its way up to his elbows.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

He now felt cold. Roger looked at him with a horrified expression, and Thayer had pure hate. He froze when Thayer yelled at him. He went to open his mouth to speak, but couldn't. It wasn't - possible. How could he justify it? He didn't know it was Thayer's mother, he didn't know anything until it was too late. He could remember, standing in the lobby of Hart Enterprises while Kyra did the chant. She took over Selena's dual personality, Angel, and forced Selena to fall to her death. He remembered pressing up against the window as he watched her fall, landing on the pavement in a bloody mess. He remembered - smirking, at the accomplishment they had done. They had stopped LA's big bad, that was before all of this shit. But in the present, he stood looking at Thayer as he yelled at him. "I - I didn't know. I didn't know what they were going to do to her. She was evil Thayer, she had to be stopped". He wiped his forehead as sweat poured off, and looked then to Roger as he cried. They were teaming up on him, and Eli just wanted them to live - and forgive. But it wasn't as simple as that anymore, this was torture. Mentally, and physically.

"He's dead Eli!". Eli looked back up at Roger, as he banged on the glass. "He rotted in that cell until he jammed a fork in his temple, you mother fucker!". Screamed Roger, but the game had began. They had to press the button, or it would be a blood bath. Eli stood their as they started pressing the buttons. Roger was worse as it ran over him quickly, and he stopped. He was already red raw, screaming in pain as he tried to get it off of him. But Thayer was determined, he was a fighter. Both hands on the button, he pressed down on them as the water shot over him, and they both screamed. It went so fast, Eli standing their with tears in his eyes as he watched his friends burn. His hand was at his mouth, and Thayer wasn't stopping. The water was turning red from blood as Eli looked to Thayer, who admitted he couldn't do it. He couldn't choose who was to live, but looking at Thayer he yelled. "You can! You have to, Thayer. You have so much to do, so much to live for. Your nearly their". Thayer was only a foot away from reaching the mark. All he had to do was hold on, and Eli had hoped for him.

If he reached the point, then the bottom of the tank would open. Eli could see bellow the safe concrete den under them. Thayer would be safe, and a door was their so Eli could help him. He knew Thayer was an incubus, and knew he tried to kill Axel. But he was willing to live and forgive, but was Thayer. He knew that he could share his life force with him, and help save him. He knew he could do it, and if he got ot the point he would have a chance to help him. But the only worry is that he doesn't make it, or let's go. Though Roger's was only half full and Thayer had the upper hand, anything could happen. He felt horrible, and his heart was breaking. "Thayer! You can do this! You have too!". He screamed, crying against the glass. He couldn't handle this anymore. Roger looked at him disgusted. "I was - your FUCKING BEST FRIEND!". Eli looked at him, and then looked down. What was a friend anymore?

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

Thayer could feel the boiling hot water burning his flesh and the words Eli said earlier running through his head, that Selena was evil, she had to be stopped, what if he was right, but she did not deserve to die, he had no right in killing his mother, they had no right to letting him lose the one thing he’s been looking for all his life. But his focus was on this button, this button he had to hold down, he had to get out of this alive, his whole life was depending on this and he couldn’t give him. He had his eyes, shut, not knowing where Roger was with his tank, all he could hear was screaming, loud screaming from Roger, he could relate, he could understand, he felt the same pain, he felt the same boiling hot water, burning his flesh, burning every single part of his body as it slowly rise and went higher, it was beyond pain, he has never felt so much pain his whole entire life, he never felt this kind of torture before. But then to his surprise he heard Eli cheering him on as is eyes suddenly opened and he was in shock, in horror, he couldn’t believe what he saw in front of him, he couldn’t believe what his view was, it was the most grossest and nastiest thing he had ever seen his whole life.”Ahhh….FUCK!!!”

Thayer was just in a state of shock, all the water around him was red, firery red and getting more and more red by the second every time more water poured into the tank, the water got more red and slight pieces of his flesh could be seen, it was beyond anything he had every experienced and he budged a bit as he saw that he was ahead of Roger, he had the slight advantage over Roger, he couldn’t give up now. But there was Eli, cheering him on, telling him he had a lot to live for, but he was wrong, he had nothing to live for, who was he going to live for? Everything he spent his whole life searching for was taken away from him, everything he wanted in life was taken away from him, and it was all Eli’s fault, his doing. Thayer just glared at Eli, trying to withhold the pain. “A lot to live for? I got nothing to live for Eli, you took the one thing I got to live for away from me, I might as well just release this button and die” Thayer said angered, he wanted to die, he wanted to be with his mother, he had nothing else to live for, Emery was helping him but what was the point? He would still be alone like he always was before, without his mother.

As Roger screamed at Eli, feeling betrayed by Eli, Roger wasn’t focused like Thayer was, but he was angered filled with emotions, he could die right here, right now, be with his mother finally, but he could live but live and do what? That is all that bothered him. But he couldn’t help but glare at Eli, despite the horrible pain, despite everything he was going through, he just couldn’t help but want to make Eli feel horrible for what he did. “I might as well just leave this go and die, let you live with this on your conscious, he’s clearly not going to make it, what if the both of us died to because of you…..aahhhhhh FUCK my hands!” Thayer screamed as he felt the water slowly rising, slowly creeping up, slowly burning his arms off literally, he didn’t know how much he could handle it he just wanted to let it go as he budged a bit slightly moving but not letting go of the button as it seemed he was seconds away from making it, seconds away from escaping this torture but did he want to escape for Eli’s sake? He had no reason too.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

Tears ran down Eli's face as he looked at them. Seconds felt like hours as he pounded on the glass, and looked at both men. The leather jacket that Roger wore was now melted onto his skin, as water ran over him and melded the material to his skin as he let go, unable to move his arms at all. He screamed, pure horror in his eyes as Eli tried to look away, but couldn't. His eyes ran over the scene again, and he felt like he was going to throw up. But Thayer was getting towards the limit, but was pissed at Eli. He believed that he had nothing - nothing to live for. Eli could sit there and list false things to why he had to live, but none of it could be true. Because Eli knew something, something that he had almost forgotten but was now stained in his memory. It was something that slightly drove him out of rooming with Thayer, something that he had hid from everyone for months. Something that would break Thayer if he knew. Flashback! His fist smashed over her face as her head swung to the side. Selena was strong, but she wasn't invisible. Axel was on the ground hurt while Ev crawled over to help him and Xzavier tried to break down the door. It was just Eli and her now, and she was getting tired, he could tell. She swung her head back and he stomped a kick down into her gut, causing her to stagger back slightly. But it wasn't over. She shot herself towards him again, driving her knee into his stomach as he gasped for air. The demon than spun and kicked Eli across the face, flipping him in the air and onto a desk in the researcher's wing. But instead of hitting him again, she shot over and put her mouth near his ear - and whispered something that he still remembered. The tone, the words, the truth. Selena than turned around and leapt up as she smashed through an AC vent and disappeared, only to die an hour later.

Eli's hand was against the glass. He couldn't use this as leverage, to raise Thayer's spirits only to tear them down after by telling him the truth; the truth about what his biological mother had to say. So he stayed quiet, biting his tongue as hit it again. Thayer wanted to let go, but it couldn't. It was near their, just near. Eli should have said something, but he didn't. Roger may have just passed halfway, but it was no where close to where Thayer's water level was. Eli wiped his eyes as he looked to the timer. 4:53! His eyes grew wide and his skin was already nearly healed as Eli swung his head back to face them. "FUCK! HURRY!". He screamed at them, and then a light above Thayer's tank flashed on. The floor underneath Thayer open and released Thayer and the water. They flowed down a slope to a vent at the bottom. Eli stood there as steam hit his face, and a bared door was all that was between them. Eli ran up as he ripped the door open as fast as he could as steam filled the room, the smell of burn flesh filling his nostrils as he stood their - looking at Thayer - horrified. "Oh my - ". He was horrified, but if Thayer needed energy, a vamp dude was going to have to cut it at this point.

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

Thayer was holding on for his life, literally, he didn’t know how he was going to make it through this, how he was going to survive this, the water falling down, burning every inch of his body, layers and layers of hot boiling really hot water just pouring down on him. He couldn’t believe what was going on, he couldn’t believe he was here, it was all Eli’s fault, he could see Eli, practically crying, in tears as he watched the horror. Thayer was grunting and screaming as the water burned his body, burned his skin. After a while he heard a huge cry, screaming, dreadful screaming, it was the most scariest sound Thayer had ever heard before, it was just so dreadful, it came from Roger’s tank, it was Roger, he could hear the agenizing pain, he knew what he was going through, he knew the pain but Thayer wasn’t going to give up, everyone thought he was weak, everyone thought he didn’t have it in him, But he did and he was going to prove that to himself now. He needed too, Ariel thought so, Selena thought so, his own mother, it was time for him to prove something to himself. He could see the water reaching the edge, he could see it, but how much more could he handle it “AAAAHHHH!!!” He screamed trying to withhold the pain. He suddenly jumped a bit when he opened his eyes again and saw Eli’s hand on the glass. Eli looked worried and was screaming at him telling him to hurry up. It seemed the time was almost over but he didn’t want to die, not here, not now, he seemed to have had a change of heart.

He just closed his eyes and just held the button down and was awaiting whatever may come next, whatever may happen, he didn’t want to see it, he didn’t want to be a witness of whatever may happen to him next. Next thing he knew there was no floor and down he went, along with all the water in the tank. It was even more pain to fall into the water, places that wasn’t exposed to the water suddenly felt the boiling hot water fall on him as he laid there as all the water slowly streamed away, leaving him there on the floor, barely even able to move, his legs, and most of his arms, were burned, he could barely move them, it hurt, it was pain, that’s all he felt pain, he could hear Eli from a distance, trying to get through all the steam and moist air around him. All Thayer could move was his head, everything from his chest down was basically burned to crisps, boiled by the smoking hot water. He turned his head, trying to find Eli in all the smoke and steam as he spoke. “I….I need…” he coughed, not being able to even finish his sentence, how could he, he had endured what seemed like hours and hours of torture. His body was broken, his body was just boiled like a chicken, he needed energy, he needed to heal and the only person available for him now, was no other than Eli.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

It was the most disgusting thing he had even seen. It might have been the shower from hell but it didn't leave him clean, it left him oozing and shrivelled. He felt like he was going to throw up, but he knew what he had to do. When he heard the exhausted words of the man, tears stopped as he knew what was going to happen? He thought of Axel, but he was safe - or as far as he knew. But Thayer needed this, and us an alive/undead whatever he had more than enough chi or whatever to give. So moving towards him, he dropped as his hands landed next to Thayer, in a push-up position about Thayer. Talk about taking one for the team. The smell of boiled flesh and burning blood filled his nose, and even Thayer's skin was either bright red or still sizzling. So Eli quickly kissed him. It wasn't a hard thing at first as he tasted the guy's tongue, but then he felt energy surging from him. It was a ride for sure, the exhiliration of feeling like his body, his life was needed right now. More than he needed it himself right now, so his eyes opened as he felt his power going into Thayer. What a kiss, but he knew it was the right thing to do.

Coursing power shot from Eli as his eyes kind if twitched. He was feeling kind of weak, but he kept going. The magic of an incubus was something he hadn't experience before, but he knew that his life force was healing Thayer. It was a good thing for sure, and he felt like he was going to fall apart. But Eli knew he was strong, this experience was just testing that. His strength was helping him, but after five minutes it was getting to much. He broke himself off, pushing and launching himself to his feet. He felt light headed, and woozy. But he didn't have time to stay, he had to get past. He still had the next task to go through, so he had to go. Looking to Thayer, he sighed. "I'm sorry Thay. I didn't know - and I didn't mean to hurt you. But I hope that one day we can put it behind us, because your important - to me". And with that, Eli hurried out to undergo another insane mission.

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

Thayer could feel Eli’s lips against his, he could feel his skin slowly healing his pain slowly going away and suddenly his eyes lit up and he had enough strength to consciously take away energy from Thayer, enjoying his taste, enjoying his energy, and boy did he have loads of it, Thayer found himself almost losing control, almost forgetting all that Emery thought him. But he didn’t get a chance to stop him, Eli pushed away, and was quickly off on the run. Thayer took a second to catch his breath, that kiss wasn’t all that bad either. But Eli was off and Thayer was left there trying to catch his breath.

Eli apologized and all, but Thayer just felt weak, but it was emotional weakness, there he was, one of his mother’s killer’s he let him free, what a disappointment of a son he was. He couldn’t believe himself. Suddenly he heard a door pop open, you wouldn’t have noticed the door was there before but it did, he slowly made his way towards the door, as he looked behind and saw the carnage left behind of what was once Roger, Thayer stepped out of the door and found himself in some ally for this abandoned building, it was weird, he didn’t know where he was, and once he was out the door, he could hear the clicking sound. You couldn’t get in there anymore. All Thayer was left wondering, what was next? The identity of one of his mother’s killers was now known but what is he going to do about it?
