"It's okay... It's like water under the bridge."

The Rakyat must have been pretty desperate for their leader to leave the Temple. In hard times they still obeyed their tradition, but now it seemed they abandoned part of it in an attempt to save their lives. Desperation did that to people. Ruy gave a hiss as she was dragged to an empty building in the camp, two different men holding her from under her arms. On the way Kai caught a glimpse of the tribe leader. She kept up that 'beautiful but deadly' aura around her, buy Kai could see and sense she was tired. Frustrated. Angry. Yet.. stubborn. That was always glowing from the woman, stubbornness. Ruy's lip curled slightly by instinct as she was drug past Vaas's sister, their eyes locking together for a split second before Ruy turned and looked away.

Lifted up the steps before being tossed into a building, Ruy spat as she was once again man handled and tossed roughly to a floor. The two smaller men left, and almost instantly Citra replaced them. She slowly stepped into the ransacked room and Ruy saw her circle once or twice before finally she sat down in front of her indian style, Kai still unable to move.
"Greetings, warrior." she breathed softly, and Kai felt her fists ball up even as they were tied behind her.
"I'm not one of your fucking warriors," the pirate spat. "Not anymore."
"So I'm aware.." the hushed voice took Kai by surprise, it sounded almost pained. "You were one of the best stealth fighters we've had." The tribe woman feigned sadness and looked down to her side as if being flooded by memories. Ruy merely snarled.
"Had. Had being the key fucking word there you bitch," she growled, earning a kick to the face as Citra jumped back to her feet.
"How dare you speak to me in that way!" she snapped, Kai clenching her eye on the side of the kick closed. The felt the skin on her face bruising and swelling already. That kick hadn't been gentle, and Ruy felt like her brain had been tossed around and blended within the confines of her skull. She felt her vision wobble and she let out a faint groan. She hadn't noticed Citra leave the building until the door harshly slammed and rang in her ears. She heard screaming and shouting outside for a few minutes before two heavily scarred men from early came smashing through the door, grabbing Ruy without any respect for her and rushing her outside. She was pushed and dragged onto the stage that used to be used for hostages when the pirates ran the camp.

Ruy felt her heart trying to jump into her throat as her ankles were untied but she was held in place. The two men stood on either side of her, pressing their arms onto her shoulders to make sure she couldn't move. She faced the main camp entrance, and she felt sick being in the position hostages were so often kept in before they were brutally tortured or shot through the skull. If anything, Kai hoped the latter would happen. For once she could feel the fear that the prisoners would feel. In the cage in Vaas's compound.. that was nothing. Nobody was tortured from within their cage. Besides, it was easy to tell Vaas would have been to intrigued to simply dispose of her. Now.. it was different. She stared blankly to the compound gate as if willing pirates to burst through at any second.. but they never did. As if she could sense her thoughts, Citra moved in front of Ruy'Kai, a smug look on her face.
"Stop clinging to the hope they'll rescue you," she hissed venom through the deceiving smirk. "They wont." The woman then began pacing in front of Kai. There was consistent silence, save for the occasional muttering of other Rakyat men in the background, but Ruy could hardly focus on that. Herhead was pounding something fierce.
"If you were to join me.. I could forget all about this. You could become one of us again and never have to return to Vaas," she whispered.
"Go fuck yourself." Ruy snarled. She watched Citra give a small signal and suddenly she backed away,one of the men letting go of her shoulders. It happened so quickly that Kai had no time to react. She felt a heavy fist collide with the underside of her chin, smashing it up and causing her to bite the very tip of her tongue off. The kick was hard enough she could have sworn every one of her teeth had shattered in their place. Thankfully they hadn't. She let out a small groan as the iron tasting liquid bubbled at her lips. Before she could even react, she felt a smaller than normal knife plunge into her shoulder, and she bit her already bleeding tongue to hold back a shriek. The blade was removed and Ruy felt the warmth seep down her shoulder along her side, staining her shirt. She finally gave a bloody spit near Citra's foot and, on signal again, the other man moved, laying a harsh series of punches into the female pirates gut before finishing it off with one heavy kick. Ruy couldn't help but buckle over slightly and clench her aching teeth with her eyes squeezed shut. It took her a moment but there was silence until she finally could straighten up again and open her eyes. Citra's gazed at her, showing nothing but triumph. That defeated and upset look she wore earlier was completely gone.

"Are you going to continue being rude?" she asked, once again pacing.
"If you're going to continue being a cunt," the words were slurred and almost inaudible, yet the stubborn fire in Ruy wouldn't go out, and she regretted the words almost instantly. A full force punch landed across her face, splitting the skin beneath it and causing her nose to drip blood. why the hell couldn't she shut up?
"You are hopeless!" Citra howled, her pacing increasing. "I offer you a life, a life free of those primitive beasts, free of my brother, and you do not take it!" It seemed like she couldn't understand or comprehend what was going be told, Ruy hardly could either. Her skull throbbed, and she could feel her abdomen bruising badly. Not only that, she could feel the blood seeping from the wound to her face, and her eye was practically swollen shut. Her ears caught the faint sound of vehicle engines, yet she could hardly process them. She was pretty sure she had fucking brain damage at this point. Soon the car engines turned to yelling and shouting. The hands that held her shoulders released her, and she crumpled to the floor to her knees almost instantly. She couldn't look up to see what was happening, but she finally caught the sound of a voice she was for once glad to hear.

"YOU FUCKS! DON'T YOU FUCKING KNOW NOT TO TAKE WHAT IS NOT YOURS?" Vaas.
Maybe a little too late.
Ruy gave a faint laugh to herself before she collapsed to the floor, her vision fading out.
