With lots of screaming. And yelling. Yay! Sounds good, right? Right! Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 4

And It Just Keeps Getting Weirder!

I woke up the next morning, sat up, stretched, and yawned.

I looked over at Ren, and saw that he was still asleep. Does he remember what happened yesterday night? I thought. Did he even know in the first place?

Well, I wasn't ready for my turn in the torture machine, but everybody goes through it at some point in their lives, right?

Lokesh's servant came and unlocked my cage door, grabbed me under the arm, and tried to drag me back to the clearing.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked, seriously shocked. "I can walk!"

He tightened his grip on my arm as I stood up, then he shoved my hands behind my back and shoved me down the hallway while I muttered, "Yeah, yeah, I get it. I can walk on my own! OW!"

I heard Ren shout from behind, "Hello?"

He was talking to me. He still didn't know my name. "I'm fine!" I shouted back to him.

I was hooked up to that machine again, and Lokesh came in and decided to mess around with me. A lot.

He whipped me several times on my legs and thighs, but because of the heat, I'd been wearing booty shorts the day he's taken me here.

My green tank top was tied on the side at the waist, and I wasn't wearing shoes. I'd never had shoes. I had socks once, but never shoes.

He started whipping my shoulders, and then he shouted, "You wanted to know why you're so special? Well, I'll SHOW YOU!"

He whipped my forearm so hard I had to cry out, and I looked over at it, and it was bleeding.

The hot red liquid oozed and poured out of the deep gash, and I realized it was just like any other cut.

Lokesh was still looking happy and delighted in this freak way, but all of a sudden his mouth opened in a evil smiled and he whispered, "I knew it was you."

Puzzled, I looked back at my arm, and to my shock and even terror, my blood wasn't just blood anymore. My blood was mixed with liquid gold as it poured down my arm and dripped onto the floor, and it glistened and shined.

He smiled greedily at it, and as we waited, the liquid started to solidify on the ground, and it turned into a chunk of solid gold.

He picked up the chunk, which had seemed to find a way to solidify without any blood in it, and he wiped the bottom of the chunk, which was dripping in blood, on my leg, and walked around staring at it.

"You could have wiped it on the floor you know!" I said, disgusted, "not on me!"

"Well, it is your blood, isn't it?" he snapped.

"Fine, whatever!" I replied angrily.

"Your blood does more than turn into chunks off gold, buy the way, girl," he smiled greedily, as if he was thinking of all the possibilities. "It can heal wounds, too. Watch!"

He walked swiftly up to me and rubbed my gold and red blood all over my wounds.

I shouted out in pain, and he snarled, "Would you just relax? I'm helping you!"

He backed away, and I watched as my arm mended itself instantly, and all of my blood and all of the gold that hadn't solidified yet, evaporated.

"My arm still hurts," I grumbled.

"SHUT UP!" he whipped me again, and I shouted out in pain.

Man, I thought desperately, am I ever going to get out of here? Then Lokesh called back in his assistant, and he unchained me, and roughly walked me back to my cage, next to Ren's.

I decided to ask him a question. "Ren, what do you remember about last night?"

"I slept. If I'm supposed to remember something about you, then I apologize." He said cunningly.

I blushed, then fumed, "What are you getting at? Nothing happened between us! I was just worried for a minute! I guess I shouldn't have been."

"Whoa, whoa, I didn't mean to offend you. You are so pretty, but stress leaves an unattractive frown on your face. I'll do whatever it takes to make you smile." He smiled at me.

"Are you?" I asked, and I smiled at him, then looked away and whispered, "Unbelievable."

"What's unbelievable?" he asked.

"Okay, what is it with you and Lokesh?" I looked back at him. "You can hear every little thing! What's wrong with you guys?"

"It's a long story for me, but for him, I don't know," Ren laid down on the cage floor.

"I've got time," I said, and smiled expectantly as he raised his eyebrows at me.

He just laughed and whispered, "Goodnight."

I laughed and replied, "Goodnight."

So he doesn't know, I thought as I slipped into my special state of dreaming. Poor girl. I wonder who she is, anyway? Maybe I'll meet her.

Okay, now, vote for me, will you? How may people out there would like to see a girl fight in chapter 6? Let me know in the reviews! Or, on a poll on my profile, I don't really care! Thanks, guys!
