'Defying the Odds' - Michael Scofield x Reader // Prison Break Fanfiction

Chapter Six

His hand reached out, brushing a lock of hair from her face, but Y/N flinched away, glaring up at him.

"I don't care what you think," she finally said, her voice steady, though her heart raced. "You'll never hurt me."

Sebastian chuckled darkly, his eyes narrowing as he took a step closer, his presence towering over her. "Oh, sweetheart," he drawled, "I don't need to hurt you. Not physically at least. You're right – you're too valuable for that. But Scofield?" He smiled, a wick glint in his eyes. "Now he...well, he's expendable."

Y/N's blood ran cold. She had expected threats, taunts – but the idea of Sebastian going after Michael made her stomach churn with fear.

"Touch him," Y/N said, her voice low but firm, "and I'll make sure you regret it."

Sebastian rose a brow, amused by her defiance. "You? Regret it? You're nothing but a trapped little bunny in a wolf's den, darling. Do you really think you can stop me? You're in here, and I'm out there."

He leaned in closer, his breath hot against her ear. "You'll never escape me, Y/N. No matter what fantasy you've concocted in that pretty little head of yours, you'll always belong to me."

Her fists clenched at her sides, but she forced herself to stay calm, to think clearly. She couldn't let him rattle her.

"And the divorce?" Sebastian continued, his voice dripping with mockery. "Did you really think you could get away from me that easily? You'll never be free, no matter how many papers you file. You'll always be mine even if it isn't legally."

Y/N took a deep breath, her confidence growing despite the venom in his words. She wasn't the same scared woman who had once cowered before him.

"I might be in here now," she said, her voice strong, "but I won't be forever. And when I get out, you won't have any hold over me. Not me, not my life, and definitely not Michael."

Sebastian's eyes darkened at the mention of Michael, his jaw tightening. He wasn't used to being defined, especially not by her.

"Michael?" he mocked. "First name basis. Remember when I was Mr. Marino then I was Marino then Sebastian then Seb then baby..." he mocked walking over to her. "You're predictable."

His hand came up, clasping around her throat and she closed her eyes. Slowly, it got tighter and tighter.

"You've always been entertaining, Y/N. I'll give you that," he said. Slowly, she could barely breathe. "But remember, if you keep playing this little game with Scofield, it won't end well for him. Or for you."

Y/N was choking on nothing. She couldn't get any air in, but she couldn't show weakness. Eventually, he let go and she gasped for air.

However, before she could say anything, Sebastian walked to the door and knocked against it. It opened and he disappeared. Y/N's body finally relaxed, her hands trembling slightly. The encounter had rattled her more than she wanted to admit, but she refused to let him see her break.

She was strong. Stronger than ever and she was going to get out this.

It was another part of the day when PI had to go to the storage room to work on rebuilding. Y/N was a little shaken up still by Sebastian but chose to ignore it. Michael kept glancing over her as he knew something was up. There were new bruises on her neck and she was more quiet than ever.
