--SURRY--
I backed myself to the back wall shaking violently. Max and Alan backed up as well and got as close to my cell as they could manage. I was terrified. I knew what my dad could do. I knew what he has done. But all of that was when he was human. I felt like I was going to throw up as I thought of his new vampire powers. I huddled close to myself in a fetal position and awaited his return into my life.
Each step he took was deliberately slow and drawn out to maintain the suspense. It was working. Each clank of his boot on the wet stone staircase sent a new wave of shivers up my spine. Then I saw his hand on the railing. I looked up slowly and met his eyes. I froze. I went into my pain mode. I shut down all feelings and emotions and continued to watch him draw closer to my cell. Then he was there.
He was colder than before. I felt his low temperature coming into my holding chamber. It was either that or the fact that his attitude was cold. I looked up at his face and stared blankly. He remembers this face. "Ohh, Surry...who would've thought we would meet again. I thought for sure I had gotten rid of you once I left you and your mother." The way he said our names sounded as if he spit them out. I nodded in response. His eyes narrowed and his held his hand towards me.
All of a sudden I hear Alan and Max growling and charging at him. Of course they got nowhere, they were being held back by the prison bars. I stared at him with no emotion again. He flexed his hand and smiled. Everything happened at once. Memories one by one filled my mind. Within seconds every single beating, every single hollering I got whilst he lived with us flashed across my brain. I screamed in pain. Every single ounce of pain I had, had during those experiences came flooding back as well.
I curled and uncurled on the ground writhing in pain. I screamed and for the first time in three years, I cried. I cried and bawled and yelled out in my pain. It hurt like nothing else I'd ever felt. Then, as quickly as it had come, it had gone. I was panting heavily on the ground tears still falling down my face. I slowly turned my head up and looked at him. He was smiling. There was a background noise as well. I looked over past Alan who had turned his head away in sadness and saw Ren. She was rolling on the floor as well. This however wasn't cause by my father. She was rolling on the floor, crying, because she was laughing so hard. I felt my face turn into a frown. I looked over at Max now. He was panting too. My eyes widened. He saw and felt everything that went through my mind. I sobbed.
"I'm sorry Max...you shouldn't have seen that." I sobbed again quieter this time. He looked over at me; teeth clenched, and shook his head.
"Not...your...fault..." he managed to say in between gasps of breath. He closed his eyes and looked away. He was trying so hard not to break down. I didn't know why though, at the time.
--MAX--
I looked away from Surry. I couldn't look at her in such a pathetic situation. It hurt my heart. Much more pain than that she had gone through. I had to watch all of that, and see her rolling around in pain. Her pain, that hurt me more than she would know. I looked up at Master Halenburg and scowled and glared.
He looked over at me. His smile disappeared. "Another traitor? I don't cope well with traitors." I held my gaze and looked him full in the eyes. He started to raise his hand. He was going to kill. I kept staring until he was about to make the blow then my eyes closed and I awaited death.
"NO!!" I heard screams. I opened my eyes and saw Master looking at Surry and Ren. Surry's cheeks were red like she was embarrassed she screamed out and Ren looked flat out pissed. I looked at Surry my eyes filling with happiness. Does she care? Of course this isn't the first time I thought this question. But, out of all the other times they were just a stray thought. This time, she'd done something to show it. I crawled over closer to her.
"Surry..." She looked up at me and she half-smiled. I smiled back. I looked over at Ren. She was looking out of her cell. Master Halenburg was looking at her.
What could've caused this outburst? I liked this girl too. She seemed to enjoy Surry's pain; a first time, except for me of course. I heard Master's thoughts drift over and through my head as if he was talking directly to me. I spoke up.
"She's not a traitor. She was taking Surry to you." I don't know why I spoke up for her. Maybe deep down... deep, deep down, I still thought of her as a friend. I shook my head. Nahh. The Master looked over here then back at Ren.
"I think you could help me out. What do you say...I'm sorry I didn't catch your name young lady." he smiled at her almost sweetly. He unlocked the door, broke her handcuffs... (This caused a very wide eyed look from Alan. Who shortly after started pulling at his cuffs, determined they would break for him just as easily.) I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to Ren.
"It's Ren, and I'd be happy to oblige, anything for you Master." she bowed and it made me want to throw up. She looked at me and winked seductively. This did make me throw up. I turned to the side and spilled my stomach on the floor. When I looked back she was angry. I looked at Master Halenburg and he was looking right back. He turned on his heel.
"Ren, if you'd follow me, I have a nice shower upstairs for you to use." Her eyes lit up at the thought and she eagerly followed him out and up the stairs, leaving me, Surry, and Alan alone in the dark.
