Chapter 8- Princetons' Torment

I smiled as I saw all my friends leave. I saw Joey, but I didn't call out his name. I didn't want him knowing that I was here. Luckily, he didn't see me or else he would have thrown a fit and interrogated me.
I touched my collar and hoped I would have my freedom at last.
Serenity saw the two gentlemen walking with Tristan towards her cell. She gave them a sad look as Tristan opened the iron-bar door for them.
"Serenity, these are the Princeton brothers," Tristan said as she stood up and bowed to them.
"So, this is the infamous slave we've been hearing so much about. Heh. She looks filthy to me… smells like it, too," said the one who didn't have a beard.
Serenity looked away from them.
"Don't you dare look away," the other said as he slapped her across her face, leaving a stinging feeling on her cheek.
"We are the Princeton Brothers. You better respect us. You have no idea who you are dealing with, so don't you dare look away or talk back to us. My name is Jagger and this is my brother, Slade," Jagger said.
As she bowed, she pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear, running her pinky across her burned skin and healing it quickly. She rose slowly like nothing happened.
"I didn't mean to be impolite," she apologized.
"So, how much is she?" Slade, the one with the beard asked, turning to Tristan, who snickered.
"What makes you think she is for sale?" Tristan asked as Slade raised an eyebrow.
"Why is her profile out here then? You must have put it out so someone can at least buy her, even though she is wingless," Jagger said, making Tristan laugh.
"She is NOT for sale. Her profile is here to show what crimes she has committed," Tristan explained, making both brothers shock.
Slade lifted Serenity's head with his hand. "Do you regret doing such idiotic things?" he asked her.
Serenity looked away. How am I supposed to regret something I never did in the first place? A tear fell from her eye.
"Answer me," Slade asked forcefully.
Serenity's watery eyes shifted to Tristan.
"No use. We'll just have to use brutal force to get her to answer," Tristan said as he put the leash on her collar. After that, he tied her wrists together with a rope and made sure it was strapped on tight.
He began to pull her roughly as Serenity lowered her eyes as she walking behind him. She saw the Princeton brothers following behind.

Tristan pushed Serenity roughly, making her fall on the white, bloody tile. He hooked the end of the chain he was holding to a chain that dangled from the ceiling. Walking to the wall, he pushed a lever down, making the dangling chain rise up and forcing Serenity to struggle for breath, while standing on her tiptoes.
Slade placed his on hand on the top of her head. He pushed her head down, bringing her eyes to his level, choking her even more in the process. He smirked evilly at her.
"Why did you cut off your wings, slave?" he asked as Serenity gasped for air.
Her eyes shifted to Tristan and he nodded to her.
"I wasn't able to fly. I tried, too, really I did, but I could not. I tried many times," she lied, hoping both brothers would believe her false story.
Tristan smirked at her.
Then Slade picked her tied hands up and pulled both her sleeves upward.
"And how did you get this bracelet?" he asked, pulling her wrist, making her scream.
"OW! I stole it!" she yelped as he let go of her arm. She put her hand on her wrist and began to heal the pain. Tristan's eyes darted to her hand as he saw her rub her wrist. He arched an eyebrow. Serenity saw this, and quietly said, "Ouch."
"So, it is true. Look at her scars on her arm, Jagger," Slade said as he slid a gag in her mouth.
Serenity's eyes went really wide. She had never been subjected to this kind of torment.
She looked at Tristan as tears began to flow from her eyes. She saw him give Jagger what looked to be a barbed-wire whip. This was nothing new to her, but she knew she? was going to be in deeper pain than before. That's when she felt a staggering pain on her back, making her cry and beg through the gag.
The Princeton brothers left when Tristan refused to let them buy Serenity.

Serenity was lying on the floor, her rags now torn up and showing some of her bruised and scarred skin. She was hugging herself, but she was no longer crying. Her breath was calm when she breathed in, yet shaky when she let it out.
Tristan unhooked the chain from the ceiling to the chain that was attached to her collar. He gave her one last look, and shrugged. He opened the door and walked back to his office.
Watching from a far were a pair of royal blue eyes.

I apologize for the long wait.
As for the Princeton Brothers appear in this chapter story, I am very sorry, but I'm pretty sure you didn't want to read the Paradox Brothers torturing poor Serenity.
