2-Black Orbs

The only thought that roamed Athena's mind when she walked into the cell, was how she would get him to speak.

After reading his file, she registered that he wasn't much of a talker with anyone that entered his cell. Not even his previous therapists. Or Dr. Jimin. He just always decides to ignore whatever they try to say to him and watch them debate his case.

It was kind of funny.

But they couldn't care less, because he was obeying their orders. He just watched and do what they told him to do.

Nyx slowly opened his eyes to see himself in the same dark cell. As he looks around, he's alone and it's awfully quiet and calm, just then he realized what happened.

He looks down at his electric cuff, which was now apart from him. His friend is in his cell.

And like could he escape anyway?

He hunched his back down and stared at his ankle. Or rather at his bloody ankle. From all the pressure used there, the blood has started to drip out. Making his skin scarlet than ever.

But he wasn't feeling anything, even when the metal was digging into his skin, blood coming from it, he didn't feel anything.

This happens every time they inject him.

The silent cell was disturbed by the sound of the metal door, followed by a beep sound, being forced open and closed.

He saw a faint silhouette of a slim woman in front of him and the guard Yoovan, hidden in the dark shadows of the cell. They both stopped in front of him as he was now looking at the ground.

"Nyx it's time for your breakfast" the guard's voice echoed through the room he lifted his head to see the owner the new voice. His sigh was welcomed by the new young woman accompanied by guard Yoovan.

Yoovan walked towards him, handing him, kneeling at Nyx, to realize him from the rope that was knotted about one hundred times around his right wrist to let him eat properly.

Yoovan handed him the plate as the man in front of him began to dig in, still looking at the ground with his dark eyes showing no emotions.

Athena on the other side was just looking at him, she was in front of him but he didn't notice her. or he was just playing dumb? She didn't even get the chance to look at him properly.

As he finished eating Yoovan took the plate and turned to Athena "I will head to Dr.Jimin to let him come here to give him his medicine " Athena nodded "you stay here and do introduce yourself to him. and Don't forget what I've said " she nodded again before he left the cell.

All they can hear is silence until she decided to break it "My name is Kim Athena, I will be assisting your therapy sessions from now on"

Silence.

It wasn't something unexpected, but she will not make it stop there.

Athena ignored his silence and went to the table was placed there, before sitting and unloading her Journal and the files consisting of Nyx's information.

"Please take a seat "

Silence.

"So, you were responsible for killing. A man named John Caterson at age of 34 years old and another one aged 40 years old and two others are aged 41." Athena paused as she looked at him before she went again. "And for women, three girls with blond hair and hazel eyes. A weird mix right ?"

Nyx was on alert mode when she mentioned the girls. It was going the way she wanted.

"And to not forget the last you had been caught violating your last therapist who has to have Blonde hair and hazel eyes" Athena finished when she noticed she had his full attention right now. But she noticed something else.

His smile.

Nyx offered her a smile, full of threats and pride. "You want to be added to the list? " he voiced for the first time.

So he talks.

"No, I think I'm safe as long as I don't have blonde hair. Right? "

"You seem too sure about yourself. Right? " he responded darkly.

"I am, b-"

"A small piece of advice for you Miss, you should never trust a psychopath" he interrupted before she could go any further in the discussion which he was bored with.

"I advise you to go back from where you came, there's nothing to do here. don't waste your time here " he said, still looking down at the woman, disregarding his silent salutation, continued to stare at him wild-eyed, like a damned soul.

"I will not I came here to do my job why I will quit it "

"All of them said that, " he said with a chuckle leaving his mouth before he continued, " I think that you already know what happened to the last therapist before you. Count your steps miss psychotherapist," he said, lifting his head, allowing her to see his face.

Her eyes locked with his, causing a spark of slight amusement to light up in his eyes, his lips forming an arrogant smirk.

A sudden change?

She realized he had probably noticed her gaping at him, and she quickly closed her mouth and tried to compose herself. He has dark eyes that seem to swallow her up like a black hole of seduction, now and then seeming to twinkle mischievously.

His lips are the perfect shape and his jaw is strong and angular, and she can practically see the muscles of his biceps stretching the sleeves of his dress shirt. The confidence in his smirk seems to spark something within her.

Everything about him screamed womanizer. He slowly lets his eyes drag from her face all the way down her body and back up again, making heat creep onto her cheeks. He settles his mesmerizing gaze onto her eyes again.

His eyes were the same black as chocolates but his skin was browner, and more deeply wrinkled too. There was a seriousness about him that unnerved her. Her eyes were glued to the figure in front of her.

He was just looking at her, no he was looking into her soul. Challenging her to say something.

She looked down at him, her eyes noticed the cuffs warped on his ankle, along with the blood dripping out.

But she didn't who what was more dangerous the cuffs or the one who was wrapped by it.

A smile flashed across his face from beneath the reems of hair. It created slight dimples and creases that moved his freckles. Even though it was gone quickly, it was still there.

He dipped his head down. Casting his eyes to the side, she could see the shape of his face like a silhouette.

It gracefully moved up and over his cheekbones and slanted sharply at his mouth.

"I advise you to stop staring miss, it will hurt your eyes "

"Very bad, " he assured her.

If someone was there, he would say that his eyes would deceive you, they will destroy you, and take from you your innocence, your pride, and eventually your soul.

When Athena didn't respond, he just got up from the ground and sat down on the bed which was in front of her.

A beep sound was heard, indicating someone was logging into the code. And when the silver door was opened. It revealed Yoovan and Dr.Jimin " it's time for you to take your medicine" Dr. Jimin spoke.

Athena's eyes searched for the boy again her heart jumped in her throat seeing his cold eyes and empty eyes again staring straight nodding at Jimin.

"How can he live here? Where No handle, no way out. Four concrete walls, a linoleum floor, with a bare mattress with a small bed "

She had a sudden urge to protect him, still remembering what the director told her before.

"All I was informed with is that he was been caught near a lifeless woman, with a knife in his hold, but he was sleeping after the doctors examined the victim, they said that they were tortured to her death, the first time he was investigated, he didn't utter a word he was just staring at the detectives, the second time, he admitted all his kills smiling at us, he even explains the details of his crimes with so much enjoyment. He's a monster. The only thing we can do is to keep him under the control of the medicine"

"How old is he?"

"29 years old" he responded

"What about his family?"

"No one came to visit him. I guess he has no one "

Her mind couldn't forget those piercing eyes. She couldn't get them out of her mind. The way he stared at her the first time they met he could actually see everything through her and then smiled.

Jimin prepared the injection under her wide eyes and parted lips. Nyx watched Jimin coldly as he injected the thing in his arm, not flinching a bit.

he felt nothing, as always.

All this time their eyes were locked like they wanted to dive deeply into each other's souls.

His expression was unreadable even if he had a needle stuck in his arm. He wasn't blinking.

"Well done Nyx, such a good boy " Jimin praised him as he removed the string. Then running his fingers through his dark hair.

A good boy.

"Now look here. She's Athena. She will take care of you from now on, ''Nyx nodded his head, not muttering a word.

Jimin responded with a smile appearing on his face before he started speaking "I will leave you two alone, I think that you will get along with him without me Athena " he said before leaving the two alone. As he moves, his movements are graceful and fluid, with a natural confidence that commands attention. He stands tall and proud, with a broad chest and muscular arms that suggest he takes his fitness seriously. Despite his imposing presence, he has a gentle, easy-going demeanor that puts others at ease.

But the voice of Athena interpreted Jimin before he went out. "Dr.Jimin, can you give me all the information about the medicine you use on my patient, please? I'd like to study their effect on him"

Jimin was taken aback by her request, but all he could do was nod his head. She has all the right to ask about anything related to Nyx.

Athena stared into Nyx's eyes, determined not to look away first. He was certain that she knew he was trying to hide something, but still, he was determined to fool her. He contorted his lips into an awkward, toothy smile, but his cheeks were not so compromising.

" You have to go back from where you came miss Athena, take this advice if you love being alive "

Silence

She didn't respond.

The silence was poison to him, for in that void of sound the shallowness of this conversation was laid.

There was a seriousness about her that unnerved him.

She's just looking at him, she loves looking at him, into him, before he closed his eyes, choosing to lay on the cold bed saying;

"It's for your good sake"

Her soft spot was telling her, yes, but her selfish side was telling her otherwise.

She was sure as hell, that she didn't want to sacrifice her life being his therapist, but strangely at the thought of Nyx, not just his dark eyes and tousled, black hair that framed his strong features, but the way he was looking at hers, it's like they were screaming for her help.

And he was good at masking it.
