Cat + Mouse:

Simone’s Notes:

In BDSM, malesub, or male submission, generally refers to BDSM activities where the submissive partner is male. The female dominant counterpart is a femdom, the male dominant counterpart is a maledom. Within the context of the BDSM, D/s community, it is perceived that there are different levels of male submission. In the most heterosexual, vanilla of cases, having sexual intercourse with the female on top and "in control of the situation" can be considered the most basic forms of male submission. The degree of male submission is generally considered more severe when bondage and sadomasochistic activities are introduced. In more intense practices of male submission, other fetish-play is often incorporated into the relationship; such as: spanking, erotic humiliation, ageplay, sissification, etc.

If Alex thought that last night was the worst, he hadn’t seen anything yet. The endless line of terrors had begun once again. This time, they all went all out to make the poor lamb suffer for their growing empire. Alex couldn’t sleep at all from last night. Edward had done it again. He had raped and violated him last night. The poor soul once again couldn’t tell anyone what had happened. Bad things followed when he did talk. He didn’t want it to make things worse for him than they had already become. Too bad no one warned him about the night game to take place… Would have saved him the trouble…

At seven in the morning, Alex’s phone rang in his bedroom. He didn’t want to answer it at first. Fear kept him from moving. He just stared right at the ringing phone. “It could be them!” the lamb thought. Alex shut his eyes tightly and tried to enough the phone. But, it kept on ringing and ringing. Time seemed to be dragging now. He hoped that the answering machine would pick it up. Alex began to relax some. “Yes,” he thought. “The answering machine will pick it up!” But then, he remembered that the machine had broke last week. Alex’s eyes grew big in shock at that realization. “Oh no!” he thought. “Now, I’m stuck!” The phone rang on again. Finally, the lamb couldn’t take it anymore. He reached over and picked up the phone.

“Hello?” he asked nervously.

“Alex?” Mustang asked him on the other line. The lamb began to relax some.

“Oh Mustang!” he called out. “It’s you!”

“Of course,” the major general told him. “Who else would it be?” Alex shock his head to himself.

“Nothing,” he replied. “Nothing, everything’s fine! Why what’s the matter?”

“I just thought I would call to check on you,” Roy answered. “Ella insisted that I do so while Allen is out visiting his relatives.” The lamb smiled to himself warmly.

“That’s really nice of you!” he said. “I’m actually much better!”

“Good to know,” Mustang said. “Just call if you need anything, okay?”

“Alright,” Alex replied. “Thank you.”

“It’s okay,” Roy told him. “Just take care of yourself today, alright?”

“Okay!” the lamb replied. Then they hung up. Alex breathed out again. Only Mustang calling to check on him at Ella’s request. Good to know. Maybe there could be some hope after all. He got out of bed and prepared for school. Normal, so far. Alex took a shower, got dressed, brushed his teeth, combed his hair, and had breakfast. Before he headed out the door, the phone rang again. The lamb seemed a little nervous to answer at first. “Could be a trap,” he thought. Only one way to see. Alex slowly answered his phone.

“Hello?” he asked.

“Kid?” a familiar man’s voice asked on the other line. Alex relaxed again.

“Syd?” he asked.

“Yeah,” the deity replied. “Who were you expecting?”

“No one,” the lamb replied. “No one in particular.”

“Anyway,” Syd spoke up. “Ella practically nagged me to check on you.” The lamb felt happy again.

“Really?” he asked.

“Yeah,” Syd replied. “Is that a problem?”

“No!” Alex said quickly. “No, not at all!”

“So are you good and all?” the man asked. “What are you doing today?”

“Going to school,” the boy replied.

“Okay,” Syd replied. “That’s all I wanted to know.”

“Alright,” Alex said back.

“Ella’s going to make me check on you later, okay?” the deity asked.

“I understand,” Alex replied. “Bye.”

“Bye,” Syd replied. They both hung up the phone. Alex smiled to himself warmly. He just couldn’t believe that many people cared about him so much. This turned out to be amazing. The lamb walked all the way to school without any problems. Maybe today won’t be so bad. The lamb made it right to school. Before he entered the building, his cell phone rang. The lamb smiled to himself pleasantly. “They’re calling me again!” he thought. He picked up his phone and answered it.

“Hello?” Alex asked happily.

“Hello, Little Alex!” a creepy voice called out on the other line. The poor soul froze up right away.

“E-Edward?” he asked in fear.

“That’s right!” the monster replied to him. “I’m watching you! I am always watching you!” The poor soul looked all around him.

“Where are you?” he asked quickly.

“Aww, I can’t tell you!” the alchemist called out. “That would take the fun out of the whole game!” Alex really began to panic.

“A game?” he asked. “What kind of game?”

“You have to try and survive while Azrael and I torment you to no end!” Edward called aloud. Alex nearly dropped the phone to the ground.

“B-But…” he said. “B-But…”

“No buts, Little Alex!” the alchemist called out. “The game starts right… now!” The lamb looked at the phone confused.

“What?” he asked. “What do you mean no--” Just then, Alex felt a sharp little pain in the side of his neck. The lamb instantly lost consciousness. He began slowly sinking to his knees.

When he awoke, white all around greeted him. Alex found himself in a white prison of some sort. He felt so cold. The poor soul didn’t seem to have much clothing on either. He must have been stripped down while taken here. Wherever here was at the moment. The lamb began to curl himself up into a little ball to keep warm. He tried his best not to think about the worst. That wouldn’t help him at all. Alex even took slow deep breaths to help him calm down and think rationally some. “Okay,” the poor soul thought. “They are trying to make me go crazy and break me down. I must not give them what they want! I must keep it together at all times! I must not break down at all! I have to stay strong! Everyone is counting on me to bounce back from all of this in the end!” From above, Edward and Azrael watched Alex closely.

“So what do you want to do with him first?” the older incubus asked the right-hand one. Edward thought about that for a moment. A twisted smile came onto his face.

“Just leave him at first,” he replied. “And then we’ll do whatever comes to mind after a good couple of days.” Azrael watched him rather oddly.

“What do we do until then?” he asked. Edward smirked at him as he held up his hand.

“There are many pets to play with already,” he reasoned.

“So?” the incubus asked. Edward had been one step ahead of him all along.

“So, why not make Little Alex watch as we have a little fun with the other pets before we do them to him?” he suggested. Azrael smirked at that idea.

“Yeah!” he called. “That would add more to our little game for him up until Christmas!”

“See?” Edward asked. “Told you it was a great idea!”

“This is going to be a *great* game of cat and mouse after all!” the other incubus called. Edward turned off the light and microphone for down below. They walked away from the confinement lab laughing into the darkness. The game had officially started.

Alex had heard all of their demented plans. Fear tried to eat him alive again. But this time, the lamb forced himself to take in deep breaths to clam himself back down again. He couldn’t let them take over him physically and mentally anymore. Survival came into his mind. He had to fight and survive to order to beat them at their own game. Because of the love and care Ella and the others had shown him, Alex had developed a new kind of strength to survive these monsters. He would stay strong until he found a way to escape and warn Mustang and them about Edward, Manami, and the other Fallen Ones. “I’m not going to be a victim anymore!” Alex thought. “I have to live and get out of here!”

“Okay Edward!!!” he yelled out. “I accept your game!!!” The clock started to tick on from there.
