(Act lV) Boneless and skinned

The Nyxian's chuckle was like a cold, mirthless sound, making the young man's heart race with fear. As he struggled, the Nyxian's grip only tightened, his long fingers digging into his wrists like vice-like cuffs.

The young man's breath came in short gasps, his eyes wide with terror as he tried to wriggle free. "Please," he whispered, his voice shaking. "Let me go."

The Nyxian just laughed again, his eyes glinting with a cruel light. "You're mine now," he hissed. "And I don't let my prey escape so easily."

The pressure of his hold was suffocating, making the young man's fear spike even higher. He knew he had to think fast, or risk being trapped forever.

The Nyxian's grip relaxed slightly, and he leaned in closer, his nostrils flaring as he inhaled the young man's scent. His eyes closed, and a look of pure bliss crossed his face, making him seem like a drug addict savoring a fix.

The young man shivered at the intimate gesture, his mind racing with thoughts of why all the beings in this world seemed to have this strange obsession with sniffing people's necks. His thoughts wandered, trying to make sense of it all.

But his reverie was shattered when the Nyxian's teeth sank into his neck, sending a jolt of pain through his body,The young man's eyes snapped back to the present, and he struggled anew, The Nyxian's grip on him tightened, his fingers digging deeper into his skin as he continued to gulp down his blood. The young man's struggles grew weaker, his vision blurring as the Nyxian's hold on him seemed to suffocate him.

The Nyxian's eyes remained closed, his face tilted upwards, his throat working as he swallowed mouthful after mouthful of the young man's blood. His grip on him was unyielding, his fingers like iron bands holding him in place. The young man's thoughts grew hazy, his body limp, as the Nyxian continued to drink his fill.

The Nyxian's grip on Nuri's neck suddenly relaxed, his teeth releasing their hold as he pulled back, his eyes snapping open. He gazed at Nuri with a look of confusion, his brow furrowed as if sensing something was amiss.

The blood flow had stopped, halfway through his feeding, and the Nyxian's eyes narrowed as he searched for the reason. His gaze dropped to Nuri's wrist, and with a swift motion, he grabbed it, his fingers closing around it like a vice.

Nuri felt a surge of pain as the Nyxian's teeth sank into his wrist, his tongue lapping at the fang marks as he sought to re-establish the blood flow. The Nyxian's eyes closed once more, his face tilted upwards, his throat working as he sucked the blood from Nuri's wrist.

Nuri's vision blurred, his body trembling with fear and weakness, as the Nyxian continued to feed, his grip on his wrist unyielding. The young man's thoughts grew hazy, his mind reeling with the realization that he was trapped, at the mercy of this monstrous being.
