Alexis's head pounded, as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Wh-where am I?" she croaked out as her vision started to clear.

No answer.

She attempted to sit up, only to be greated by a large leather strap across her chest.

There was another across her arms, her wrists, ankles, and legs were all bound as well!

She had been tied down to a table!

She began to pull at the restraints. She jerked she writhed, she struggled until she bled.

"Now, now settle down, you might hurt yourself." Came a voice.

"What the hell do you want from me?!" She said, trying to keep her voice from giving away how scared she truly was.

"You know what we want." Came the voice, it flowed like milk and butter. It left a sweet taste in her mouth.

"I don't, I swear!" She gave up on the whole not scared thing.

"Oh but you do! Daughter of Aphrodite."

What the hell was she talking about?

"Soon your will shall break. Soon, soon."

Alexis didn't have to wait long to find out.

She screamed as the first wave of agony flowed through her being. She couldn't breathe, couldn't think the pain was so intense.

Suddenly, it was over! Gone! She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Will you tell us now?" came the voice again.

"No! I Swear I DON"T KNOW!"

"Alright, If you insist, 2."

"Wait what?"

The pain came again, only twice as bad and for twice as long. Spots danced before her eyes. She screamed.

Everything turned upside down.

She closed her eyes.


She didn't know how long the pain lasted. Each time was worse than the last.

Finally she screamed, "What are you doing to me?!"

"The machine simulates the pain of a bone being broken. You are know at the pain level of 10 bones being broken at once."

"What?"

"Though your will seems strong, take it up to 12!"

The pain came again.

It went up and up.

"Turn it off!" Barked the voice.

The pain stopped. Alexis was to weak to do anything but sigh.

"Well my dear, you cerainly are stubborn."

A flash of sliver shot across the ceiling as the voice screamed. More and more flashes.

An army of girls came running in, about 20 or 30.

"Hunters! Attack!" echoed a cry.

Suddenly a girl was standing over Alexis.

"It's okay," the girl said "You are safe now."

Alexis noted the dark hair, glowing eyes and silver crown before the world tipped, went red and fell apart.
