Heh, forgot an author's note last time. I just barely managed to upload this today. A lot of things were going on, like my mom's birthday, and then my sister had a concert, and by the way, her singing is like a freaking Angel, and my friend was playing the violin LIEK A BAWS!

Ah, anyway, so, yeah. I seem to be uploading every other day, even though I'd prefer to upload every day. I'll try to upload again tomorrow instead of waiting an entire day.

I'm out of things to rant about.

I bet you're cheering.

BYYYEE!

Chapter 3

Number 8: The Jerking

Torturer: Ivan Braginski

Tortured: Natalia 'Natasha' Arlovskaya

"NO! Big brother, please, listen to me, they were lying!" Natalia pleaded desperately on her knees to her brother. Ivan didn't look convinced at her pleads. The story was quite bizarre to what had happened. There had been a murder somewhere in Moscow, and everyone had begun to point fingers. A witness to the murder, whose name was Lovino Vargas, who just so happened to be Feliciano's brother, blamed it on Natalia, Ivan's own little sister. He had claimed that she was a witch, and that's why there had been no witnesses. At first, no one believed him. Then they recalled her psychotic personality and undying love for her own brother. They eventually agreed with him, and demanded that Natalia be tortured for witchcraft.

Ivan, of course, had no choice in the matter.

So here the two of them stood, the torture device already set up and ready to go.

"I am sorry, Natalia." Ivan said, his voice blank and almost monotone. He couldn't let the family bond between them get in the way of what his people wanted. He grabbed her by her shoulders, lifting her up off of the ground.

"Please stay still. Struggling will only make it worse." He said quietly, walking Natalia over to what almost looked like a hanging post. The rope that would go around your neck was instead tied to Natalia's hands, which her behind her back. Weights were added to her feet, and Ivan had her sit down on a small bench. Once he made sure everything was secure, he walked up to a small wheel. He slowly began to turn it, the rope pulling on Natalia's wrists. Natalia made a silent note to pay no attention to the pain she knew was sure to come, and bent forward to ease the stress on the rope. Eventually she could no longer bend forward, and her arms were as high as they were able to naturally stretch from behind her.

Now the real pain began.

Ivan paused for just a moment before he began to turn the wheel again. Natalia let out a groan of pain as he arms were bent back much farther than they were supposed to. Her groan turned into a loud cry as she felt a sickening pop in one of her shoulders, and the other one followed moments after. She could feel the muscle and bones tearing inside of her arms. Now she was starting to get lifted off of the bench, the only thing keeping her from collapsing onto the ground was her arms, which she couldn't even move now. Her cries and screams continued as the weights pulled down on her feet, causing even more weight to be stressed onto her arms. Tears of pain rolled down her cheeks, her choked sobs and screams echoing all throughout the large house.

Once she was dangling a few feet off of the ground, Ivan locked the rope in place, tugging on it a few times to make sure it wouldn't snap. He looked over to Natalia.

"I will come fetch you tomorrow." He said quietly, exiting the room, which left Natalia dangling in her agony with broken and destroyed arms for a whole 24 hours.

When Ivan returned for her the next day, as soon as she was untied and released from the torture device, she was beheaded in the middle of Moscow for all to see.
