Her breathing was jagged, every time she breathed in it was like a million knives forcing their way into her lungs, bringing tears to her eyes every second. Why was this happening to her? What had she ever done? Her numb arms felt around the concrete floor, searching for anything sharp that could get her out of this hell she was stuck in. But, all she felt was the cold ground, just as cold as her skin was becoming. In all honesty, she would rather die than deal with the pain he was putting her through.
After what felt like an eternity, she heard the same sound she dreaded every day, the door slammed opened, his footsteps echoing through the room as he slid the cell open. Everything was silent for a moment before she felt a hand grab her hair, pulling her up off the ground she started to miss the moment she was picked up. "You're losing all the color to your skin, Hyuuga. Don't tell me my toy will be dying soon, I've had so much fun." He chuckled, throwing her against the wall with as much force as he could.
Hinata coughed up blood, closing her eyes to avoid seeing what else he would do to her. "No words today? God, you really are boring, no wonder Naruto-kun never looked twice at you. Sakura-san is definitely more his type, she can keep up to speed with his interests, and she is far from dull." He taunted, as he did everyday, bringing her confidence down, destroying her heart. "S..shut up.. p..please.." she managed to say, barely above a whisper.
Sai smirked and shook his head, walking towards the door. "Weakling, I have no interest in you right now, I'll come back later. You better be more interesting, or this will be our last encounter." He forewarned, slamming the cell door shut and walking out of the prison she was trapped in. She had to get out, and fast, she opened her eyes and quickly got on her hands and knees, searching for anything sharp that could bust out the only window above her, big enough for her to crawl out of. Finally, she found a stray pipe he had used on her just a few days ago, outside the cell, Hinata furrowed her eyebrows and drew what little chakra she had left to her fists.
She crawled over to the cell and grabbed the bars, using the strength she had to bend the bars, twisting half of her body through to grab the pipe. Once she had a hold of it, she pushed herself up, stumbling over to the window. "I..I'm co..coming, N..Neji-san... N-Naruto-kun.." Her fragile hands lifted above her head and threw the pipe at the window, cracking the glass. Hinata threw it repeatedly until the glass finally shattered, hitting the ground below her. For the first time in weeks, a smile came to her face as she jumped up, grabbing the edge.
Glass was cutting into her palms, but she didn't care. She managed to push herself through the window, touching grass for the first time in forever. The sun blinded her as she came to her feet, running away from the hell was trapped in, tormented in. She was finally free, and surprisingly she wasn't too far from the village, she could feel everyone's chakra, hear the voices. She was so close to home.
