It felt like this has happened before; it's like she is experiencing déjà vu. Someone is getting hurt because of her; someone is suffering because of her; after all these years, nothing changed. In the end, she was still the one being protected. Another message came in from Jail: 'Come alone, no police and no friends. Just you. In the message, there was a map attached to it; As soon as she saw the map, she ran as fast as she can to reach the venue where Nanoha is being held as captive. Fate knows what he wants; he wants her. He wants her for his experiments and tortures for fun.
Jail is basically like her mother. She is scared of Jail, since their personalities resembled; No, Jail is her mother. She thinks that her mother came back to punish her again. She stopped her tracks. What if she just leaves Nanoha behind? But no, Nanoha is Alicia but again no! Nanoha is not Alicia. Nanoha informed Fate about that many times that she wasn't Alicia. She is Alicia but she is not Alicia. Alicia is dead. Her mother is dead but Jail is there, which means the fray, her nightmares is not over yet. She doesn't want to go back to those horrid days where in she was being experimented and tortured on. She does not want to be dissected again, to receive those painful whips, and to be bound by chains and shackles. She doesn't want to be caged in again.
If she goes to where Nanoha is, it is sure that she will suffer again like before, or maybe even worse. Technology has advanced. She might be whipped by an electric whip or maybe Jail would even use her body for other inhumane purposes. Just thinking all of that makes her want to leave Nanoha behind; She turned her back and walked further away from the venue.
Nanoha never gave up on her; even those times where Fate used Nanoha as her happy pill and drove Nanoha into the corner. Nanoha didn't give up on her cold, childish attitude. She didn't leave her even though she has hurt her, Nanoha didn't give up on her.
The echoes of Nanoha's screams in the video prevailed in Fate's mind. She wants to save Nanoha but she has to face consequences. She has to abandon her freedom and go back to her horrible past life. She does not know what to do, she is helpless. She punched the wall over and over again. She hated herself for being selfish, stupid, and weak. What can she do?
She has no friends; she has no one to depend on.
'Don't worry. You have us now. We will protect you and you will protect us. We will protect each other so don't you dare give up so easily. Nanoha will get mad at you. We will protect you, not only us of course Signum and the others that's why, trust us. We will protect you, we are friends after all.'
Will her friends forgive her for leaving Nanoha alone?
'Same here; Nanoha is our precious friend. We won't hand her over to you easily. You'll pay if she comes to us crying'
Will they forgive her?
'Fate, I won't forgive you for hurting Nanoha not only physically but also emotionally. You will pay someday; I will leave it up to karma.'
Will someone come to help her?
'There you again with that; No man is an island. I am always willing to help you no mater what. I'll be beside you always, Fate-chan so call out my name, my real name.'
"Nanoha... Even if I call out your name right now, you won't come here to comfort me." Fate sighed. "I can't believe I am doing this."
Fate immediately dialed Signum's number and told her the details. They need to be sneaky so Jail's dolls won't notice them. After talking to Signum, Fate went to the venue.
Fate received another message from Jail: If you are not here in 5 minutes, your friend here is doomed. Fate panicked and her Adrenaline's rush came. She ran like she has never run before. She has to get there before five minutes, no matter what. This time, she will save the person that is important to her, the one whenever gave up on her, Nanoha.
Fate arrive her destination, an abandon warehouse by the sea. Nanoha is inside that warehouse, she is being beaten inside there. Nanoha is waiting for her to save her. Fate looked around and saw that no one was guarding around the warehouse. Maybe, the numbers were busy with something else. She walked until she reached the door.
"This warehouse stinks of drugs and science." Fate said as she entered the warehouse.
It was dark inside the warehouse. Fate was afraid to go further in because she thought she might get locked in. She didn't move an inch because of that thought. Suddenly, she was pushed from behind and the entrance was shut off. There were no lights present. Fate trembled as the darkness eats her positivity away; her negative thoughts from back then returned.
"Fate." A voice echoed inside the room. A spotlight was showed to the man that has been tracking her down for years. The man who took part on her mother's experimentation and the one who took part on her torture
"Jail Scaglietti."
"It's been a while since I saw you. You have grown into a fine woman." Jail licked his upper lip.
"How disgusting."
"Oh c'mon, you finally got a reunion with your beloved papa."
"Bullshit, you are not my father."
"I helped Precia to raise you into as an experiment doll."
"Where's Nanoha? I came here so let her go now."
"You are no fun." Jail snapped her fingers. The lights inside the warehouse were opened. In front of her, at the center, there lies Nanoha who had a few bruises. "We have been playing with her. My children had fun torturing your friend. She was calling for your name the whole time"
"Nanoha." Fate ran towards Nanoha but a bullet was shot on her thigh making her fall.
She felt a cold steel pressed on her head; a gun was pointed at her. Fate clicked her tongue and sighed. 'I am so stupid. It was obvious I can't 1v13 them. I am not even experienced in fighting yet.'
"So, what do you want?"
Jail went closer to Fate, who still has a gun pointed on her head. Jail put his index finger on Fate's chin and lifted her chin to make her look at her. Fate didn't care if that gunner fires, she does not want Jail to touch her, ever again. She slapped Jail's hand away and ducked down for the gunner shot a bullet. She was able to dodge it but her cheek was grazed by the bullet. Fate got out of balance when she dodged; she fell on her back but was able to support herself with her right arm and hand before she entirely fell on the floor. She kicked the gunner with her left leg and stood up. She was suddenly surrounded by the numbers.
'Ah shit, I'm doomed.'
Fate raised both of her hands up in the air. "Don't hurt Nanoha anymore. So, use me to pleasure your horrible desires."
Jail smirked. "I guess before we get you in the dissection table, we will run some tests." Jail laughed.
The numbers held Fate down and tied her up. She was blindfolded and felt that she was being carried away somewhere.
Still blinded folded, her arms were chained up and her feet were also in shackles. As her blindfold was released, she saw Nanoha right in front of her, tied in the same position as her. Nanoha's mouth was tied with some cloth and was struggling.
"What are you guys planning?" Fate asked. "I'm here so release her."
"You are telling me to release her after you called for the police before you came into the warehouse." Uno said "We knew that you will call them, it was obvious."
"By the way, we destroyed your phone on our way here, same with hers. In case there's a tracking chip device inside of it." Cinque said.
"Don't hope they will come, we relocated after all." Uno grinned.
"Is she already awake?" Jail entered with a whip on his hand.
Uno and Cinque nodded.
"Good, now then, let's go on to the main event."
Jail went near Nanoha and whipped her. Once, twice, thrice; the sound of the whip slapping on Nanoha's skin echoed inside the room. Nanoha's muffled voice were not a cup of tea in Fate's ears; it was horrible. All Fate can do is watch with horror and mutter. The spectator's giggle added frustration to Fate. The sound of the whip, Nanoha's muffled cries, and the giggles that the spectators were making, it was like her past was being re-enacted right in front of her.
Everything from before went back to her, the fear and the horror of the past. Fate can't utter a single word, all she did was cry. She was scared; it was happening again, her mother is here to haunt her, her mother is here punish her.
"Mother… stop it." Fate cried.
Jail stopped whipping Nanoha and went to Fate who held her head down. Jail lifted Fate's chin up. Fate's eyes were red and she looked like a mess. She looked like a doll that has been abandoned, a beautiful doll that has been deserted. Her eyes were looked dead and empty; a sight Jail wanted to see. He didn't just plan on torturing Fate and dissect her, he also planned to make Fate's past nightmare re-surface again. For Jail, afflicting emotional wounds to Fate is the best task anyone can have.
"What do you want me to do Fate?"
"Don't hurt her." Fate said in a soft voice but still crying.
"I won't hurt her, if you give me entertainment." Jail licked his upper lips. 'She broke.' Jail thought as he laughed. Fate nodded unconsciously. Jail smirked and kissed Fate. Nanoha's muffles volume up again when she saw that scene.
'Unforgiveable.'Nanoha thought as she cried more and the louder her muffles went.
Jail faced Nanoha as soon as he finished the kiss with Fate; he gave him a victorious smirk. Nanoha became more violent and loud. Jail laughed, same with the numbers.
"I hope you enjoyed the show, Fate's friend. Don't worry, there will be more. There will be more scenes of her breaking into pieces. Jail removed Nanoha's the cloth that was keeping her mouth shut. Nanoha breathing was erratic. Jail lifted Nanoha's chin up rigorously. "Fate is mine. She'll be mine forever, got that?"
Nanoha clicked her tongue. "LIKE THE HELL I WOULD LET YOU BE WITH FATE-CHAN. SHE IS MINE AND MINE ONLY." Nanoha declared. "We are getting out of here the two of us, together."
Jail slapped Nanoha. "You dream to big brat. Fate is mine, you will never have her."
"Shut your crap Jail. I am sure that Lindy and the others will come here." Nanoha said with positivity.
"I won't give Fate to you imbeciles anymore. You will just ruin her."
"If there is anyone ruining her then it's you."
Jail just laughed and exited the room. Nanoha called for Fate many times but she didn't give any response; she was back to being a lifeless, empty doll.
