I don't know how its been since Sebastian captured me. But with the combination of pain and time, I've forgotten the institute, and everything and everyone within. I know I had once loved many people, people who I can only remember as silhouettes. Everyday in here its the same pattern, no breakfast, torture (Sebastian is still wanting to find out my name. But I've held onto it), a tiny lunch of a biscuit full of weevils and water, torture for information on the institute (I haven't told him anything because honestly, I can't remember), a slightly bigger dinner of a tiny bowl of soup, I know Sebastion is giving me only enough to keep me alive. In the time that I've been here, at "Renwick's" as I've been told, I have gotten very thin and weak, so different than I once was. Sebastian plans on bending me until I break and I'm very close to breaking right now. And when I do I will be nothing but a living carcass.

Its been over 6 months since my sister, Bunnee, dissappeared. The entire institute, except Misty, who still blames Bunnee for Lolli's tragic death. Everyone thinks that she ran away from the truth, like a coward, but, I know my sister and she wouldn't run from pain, she would face it head on. So after many weeks of hearing, "Poor Bunnee, she just couldn't take it." and people calling Bunnee a coward, I have started my own searches at night. Tonight, after many nights of sneaking out, of all nights i'm less careful than others, I've gotten too comfortable with this. I grab my stele, and my sisters silver knife that I had found on the porch of the Institute one morning, I haven't told anyone about it yet. I put my gear on and I walk out into the hall. Boots softly thumping on the hardwood floor and I hear voices, Alec's and Jace. "Jace something's wrong here. She wouldn't just run. I knew that when I was in her room and she nearly stabbed me, if she were a runner she would've ran. And Sebastian is back too."
"Alec, right after her own sister attacked her and finding out for a second time that her sister is dead, I wouldn't be surprised if she did run away." Answers Jace.
"Fine, Jace but if she turns up dead..."
"I get it, it'll be my fault, you'll punch me and you'll hate me forever." Jace responds with sarcasm dripping from his voice like acid.
"Whatever."
I hear boots walking in opposite directions and one pair is walking toward me. I try to find a place to hide but there is absolutely no place. The boots round the corner and Alec stops when he sees me. I put my finger to my lips when he opens his mouth to speak and I motion for him to follow me. I walk to the front door and out onto the stoop Alec following me. We sit down. "What are you doing?" Alec asks. I show Alec the beautiful silver knife that was once owned by Bunnee and his eyes go wide. "I that..."
"Bunnee's knife? Yeah, I found it on the porch awhile ago and I new something was wrong, she would never give up a perfectly good blade."
"Have you been sneaking out at night? It seems that you've been excelling at training more so than anyone else and you've been half asleep half of the time."
"Yes, since I found the knife."
"Have you run into any demons?"
"Yup, about 15 I've killed every single one."
"Holy crap Moth, you're good. I probably should tell the Cla-"
"NO!" I say in a hushed yell, interrupting him. "Please don't tell anyone."
"Fine, just give me updates." Alec gets up to leave and I say, "Alec I heard you talking to Jace, and I'm glad that you agree."
"Just be careful. If your dealing with who I think you are, your could be in serious danger."
Alec walks into the Intsitute and I walk into the streets of new york. If I were to capture someone where would I bring them, someplace isolated maybe an island, abandoned, obviously but it probably should have a fairly maze-like building, so if the person escapes they probably couldn't find their way out before I could find them. Then in the middle of the same thought process I've been having since I found the knife, something dawns on me. I've heard about Sebastian being the son of Valentine Morgenstern, and when he first got the mortal cup, he took Jace to Renwick's smallpox hospital on Roosevelt Island. Following my newest lead, I go to Roosevelt island. I see two forsaken guarding the door, easy, I think to myself. I go quickly up to them and with grace I leap up and I slash the first forsaken, I'll call him Billy, on the throat. As the next forsaken, Bob, clumsily runs up to me I stab poor Bob in the forehead. I walk over the carcasses of Billy and Bob to enter the building. I draw a soundless rune on my forearm and I sneak around the abandoned hospital, knowing that someone has to be her if there are forsaken guarding the entrance. I stop when I here two voices, one a mans and the other a unrecognizable weak and broken voice of a girl. I walk toward the voices until I sneak a peek into the room where they are, and I see horrible things. I see a dangerously thin girl chained naked to the wall feeling the fire of a strong man bringing a cat-of-nine-tails down on her. After a second, I nearly gasp when I realize who these people are, the man is Sebastian and the tortured girl is my sister. A look of hope crosses her face before Sebastian brings the whips down on her chest, though staying silent. Then I see the Bunnee I know, in this broken girls eyes, I see defiance and anger. Then, I run out to tell Alec about this at 1:00 AM.
Bunnee
Torture time! Sebastian leads me blindfolded into the room and tells me to, "undress." and I obey. When I'm de-robed I feel Sebastian lift me and chain my wrists to the wall so I'm hanging and chains my feet. Sebastian rips off the blindfold and I see him holding a whip with nine whips on it. This one's new, normally its, beating, drowning, choking etc.
"Ok, first off. State your name."
I say nothing and the whip comes down, making pain burst like fire throughout my chest.
"Still refusing? Let me ask you again, what is your name?"
"Kiss. My. Ass" I say between shocked gasps for breath. Its been so long since I've talked. But for my little act of defiance I pay five lashes. When Sebastian finishes I hear a girls gasp, not mine. I look over to the door and I see the glint of a blade, my blade. The blade that I had attempted to kill Sebastian so many weeks ago. I let a little smile on my face only to be rewarded by another lash, and that one flicker of hope is extinguished and I hang my head. I'm on the brink of defeat and I hope that whoever was outside the door tonight can hurry a bit with getting me out, for I'm about to fall over the edge. After the whipping, I can't move so Sebastion puts the rags I have for clothes on and he throws me in my hospital room. I lay on the floor, bleeding mildly, my bloods clotting but my "shirt" is soaked in blood. After awhile of laying on the ground I try to push myself off my stomach with my arms but the pain is too much and I fall straight back down and I do the unimaginable. I cry. I weep for only a minute or two. Then I go to the face I scraped into the wall, I run my hand on the wall guy's cheek. I don't know why I had scratched his face in the wall face but it makes me feel better. I look at my forearm and I see the scar I got while scaling a building for... what? I can't remember. But why does it matter? I mean I'll either lack a soul or I'll be dead in a little bit. I might as well accept it, rather than keep defying Sebastian. I'm going to die regardless, I might as well die better. I curl up and I go to sleep. The next morning I wake up to no breakfast and torture. Sebastian brings me into a room with a bucket of ice water he sits me down straps me in and asks, "Lets begin, what is your name."
I reply,"My name is Bunnee." and I see a satisfied smile cross Sebastian's face, for he has broken the unbreakable.
