Chapter 4
There was blood everywhere and it hurt. I was on someone's back, Ben on the other shoulder-wheezing. My chest was bleeding just like his, bleeding blood so rich. The sparks from fires brushed against my face and I could make out a few figures standing by a couple of cars. – Humans-.
I was awakened by the sound of whiplashes and to the scent of blood. I was chained to that man who had visited me when I was not well. Ben was tied to a piece of metal with two pieces of wood yanked in his side. Somehow it reminded me of the cross. Every lash caused me more pain than it did him. I felt it, every single piece of spike on the whip being yanked in my side. Our necklaces had disappeared and only a tattoo had remained.
I was still wearing the white dress in addition to the chain on my ankle and two diamond earrings. Tears wouldn't stop as I saw him battered and bruised over and over again. The TS's were nowhere to be found and Leslie was all over the man-in-charge a.k.a. the King. It was punishment for saving me.
It seemed to go on forever until the King told the man to stop. His confused expression was quickly hidden as I was unchained and lead towards Ben.
"But Stephan…I want him to be punished more"
Leslie whining seemed was so unbearable that even Stephan rolled his eyes in disgust. I knelt down beside Ben as he was covered in a tattered cloth. I cried. His head was lighter than before as he rested it on my lap. Stephan had gone over to Leslie giving me some time alone with him.
"Remember don't give in"
His strained whisper was too much for me to take in. I couldn't help myself and I broke down. His hand reached to wipe away my tears.
"You're so beautiful you know"
I hadn't expected such words at the time and a little smile peaked up his as the shock revealed itself in my expression. A giggle came from me that I didn't know was there. Then we kissed a little and Stephan came to take me away from him
Jade and Tee were strapped to a chair, and Jay and Karina a pole. They had not seen me come in and as I was about to speak Stephan covered my mouth.
"You need to let them go you and fulfill our dreams"
"I want to sleep"
My voice was foreign to me. He led me to a dark room where its center held a red bed. Ben was asleep on top its soft pillows and blankets. I wanted to curl up next to him but Stephan had other intentions. Ben disappeared- hologram-, I concluded. A cocked evil smile peaked at his lips. His hand travelled down my back and he grabbed my ass causing me in disgust to turn and face him. I was all alone with Stephan the Perv and no one was there to protect me.
"Soon my pet I will have you".
With his finger he drew a line over my tattoo. He grabbed my hair and bringing my face to his. His face showed no sign of aging. He had dark brown eyes that engulfed me as I stared into them. Hypnotism? His loose hand travelled up my dress so slightly that I didn't even notice it until he began to untie my strap underwear. I slapped him and tried to loose myself from his grip. In less than a second I was on the bed and he was over me.
"If only they didn't need you in your pure state", he said frowning.
His eyes trailed to my dress zipper but before he could undo it Leslie came in with a loud slam of the door. Her blonde hair was ruffled and her nightwear not so covering. Her eyes were red with fury, obviously with Adam. They were having problems. I could tell.
"Sleep well, daughter…."
His words had shocked me. My own father hitting on me, or I was probably wrong. The sound was muffled by the number of pillows I was surrounded by. "Daughter….." I thought. I had to ask Ben about that when we met up and again.
"Did he hurt you?" were the first words I heard after telling Karina the story. They too were shocked by what had happened. Ben was silent and didn't answer when I had asked him about the 'daughter situation'.
"He's lying, Just trying to make you feel insecure."
Ben was all serious like and very stern with his words. Ben was an only child and that was that or so he was told. His sister had died at birth and terribly, his mother s well. She too had white hair like but fair longer and richer. He hugged me and then remembered the gruesome experience of me watching his punishment.
"If you love someone sacrifices must be made, and I guess mine was pride."
Although I couldn't say anything else relevant in reply I hugged him and give him a peck on the cheek. Suddenly Jade and Tee came bursting in and Jay was unconscious.
They were carrying Jay on their shoulders. Tee looked worried as ever as they revealed the wound by her neck and face. I ran to their side praying she would be alright
"We were being tortured and J-J-Jay was being chased by Chad, you know the TS's guy. Well, he like changed into this thing with fangs and everything and-and he-he-he…."
Jade's voice had cracked and he was crying. Tee's grey eyes were on Jay. He brushed the strands of hair from her face and looked deeply into her very soul. He loved her; I could sense it-Pure Love.
"'ll be alright."
His whispers were bombarded by the TS's dramatic entrance.
Cody, Rahj, Leon, Chad, Dylan, Rick and Adam all stood by the door. We- Karina, Jay and I, were in another dimension, a void. Trapped. I couldn't sense anyone outside the doom-like thing. Adam's eyes gazed steadily on Karina. Jay couldn't help but curse him as she shrugged down in pain against the thing's walls. I stood in front them trying to protect them, but with the snares on his face it wasn't going to work.
"You'll never get away with this!"
Karina seemed so strong and brave but I could tell her fragile insides were falling apart, she wanted to scream and fight to get out of the dark interior; she was claustrophobic. He stood there expressionless as he peered at me and then Jay. Karina had him interested. Something happened and before we knew it Adam was on the floor gasping.
"So that's why we don't do it anymore!"
Leslie had broken the dooms exterior and we were back in the room. Karina ran to Adam's side and the way it looked I too would have thought something was happening between them. He was dying and so was Jay. She didn't seem surprised and just turned around leaving him there and leading the TS's away as well.
Jay was bleeding out- and fast.
"When I get my hands on the little bitch– OUCH!- she'll be sorry!"
The doctor at the – ummm castle- was Lycia. She was the one who had saved my life and Ben's too."Just a little bit more hun don't worry". Jay cried; that was highly rare. It had to hurt, really hurt.
"You guys be careful", her voice was under a whisper," Majesty doesn't know but Leslie decided to poison you – "
"So what you're talking about Lycia?"
Leslie had strolled in gripping the arms of Stephan (Majesty). He looked down at my friends in disgust and ignored the fact that Ben (who was told to be my brother had his hands around me). His voice echoed loudly and could be heard probably a mile away,
"So I hear you are with child Jay, seeing that you and Tee obviously are close friends"
