Holly woke up. She felt tired and confused. How did she get here? Where was here? What did Butler think after she didn't show up. The part of her mind that contained the training from the L.E.P. woke up and she realized that she needed to memorize her surroundings. She looked around for clues that would tell her where she was.
The room was dark and moldy. She was on a cot that felt rough. This was not the average room in Haven. There was one door on the left side of the room. She tried to get up and felt a hard tug at her ankles. When she looked down to see what was causing it she realized that she was chained to the bed. Why would someone chain her if the door was locked she wondered.
Almost as if the thought had sent some sort of signal a pixie came into the room. Holly instantly recognized her.Ally hadn't changed much over the years. Although Holly hadn't seen her in a very long time she knew exactly why she was here. "Hello Holly," Ally said, "it's so nice to see you." Holly could hear the loathing dripping from Ally's voice.Obviously the pixie hadn' t gotten over the fact that she hadn't been accepted. "What method of torture should we start off with, burning or cutting?"
Holly decided though the question was probably rhetorical to answer," I prefer cutting." She wanted to have some sort of control of the situation even though it was obviously out of hand. "So what's up Ally," she asked.
Ally replied with hatred,"I believe we have a score to settle. I was more intelligent than you, I was more gifted than you, and still you were picked.Your friends are getting their funds in order.I already told them that you will get hurt the money just means that you won't die. I am a busy pixie so let's start the torture," she said calmly.
At that point Ally took out a knife. Not saying another word she put Holly's hand in some type of holding device. She tested the blade on a piece of wood nearby and determined that it was sharp enough. Then she took the blade and calmly tested it on the elf's palm. After that she began slicing Holly's arm in straight cuts. After the arm was bleeding badly she seemed happy and left.
As soon as she left Holly began screaming. She did not want to give the pixie the satisfaction of watching her scream. She didn't realize that her every move with or without the pixie was being recorded. One copy would be emailed to her friends and one copy would be kept by Ally. The pain was so bad that Holly stopped screaming. She just lay down and cried.She hoped Butler would save her soon. She knew the torture would not stop until she was freed from Ally.
