Whump! kinda, but not graphic or anything. That's why it's Kplus. No major torture. If you think I should change it to T, tell me.
Enjoy!
I felt my magic welling up, urging to protect me. I pushed it back down, and made my body limp. Being tense would only make the pain worse. I separated my mind from my body, numbing myself to the agonizing torture.
Eventually it stopped and I gained enough consciousness to flee the room, running propelled by adrenalin until I collapsed from exhaustion and misery in a corner of the castle. Hopefully I wouldn't be found there.
Why didn't he fight back? I watched the betrayer run from my room. He has magic, why didn't he fight? I knew of the magic, knew he must be powerful to do what he was when I'd caught him. He must know it too. Why didn't he kill me then? I saw what I did to him, his body was mangled and black and blue when he had run. I wished I had paid attention to the cries and excuses. I wished I knew why.
I went to look for him. I didn't want him to die before I turned him in, or at least that's what I told myself. I ignored the impending guilt as I searched the castle. I eventually gave up. He was gone. He has to return to work again tomorrow. I'll confront him then. He'll have to tell me everything, and then I can turn him in. I want to know his story before he dies, know why.
I went to Gaius when I regained consciousness. I didn't tell him what happened; only that was leaving as soon as I was well enough. He didn't question, just helped. He gave me medicine for the bruises and set the broken bones. He helped pack my stuff. I left that night, even with the remaining injuries. I had to escape.
If you want me to continue review! The more reviews, the sooner I continue.
