Chapter 28: Torture
I woke up with the sun in my eyes. A blanket was draped over my waist and legs. I must have fallen asleep during the movie last night. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I opened them and turned around. On the couch asleep were Raven and Beast Boy. Raven's head was resting on the arm of the couch, and BB's was on her lower thigh.
When I smiled at this, Cyborg walked out of the kitchen.
"Cute, huh. Don't worry. Me and Robin already got plenty of pictures of all three y'all. You were droolin' on that pillow and everythin"
He sauntered back to the fridge, probably planning on cooking something carnivorous. I smiled to myself and took the stairs to the door. I walked down the hallway to my room.
The door slid open and inside I saw the soft blues and cream colors of my room. The soft off-white fur rug under my feet was warm to the touch of my rough feet. I wiggled my toes in the fur to feel it between my toes.
I sat down on my rug and closed my eyes. I released my thoughts as Raven had taught me. I drifted off, and I had a vision:
(Galia was chained to a stone floor. His horns were chained to a band that went around his neck, preventing use of it. The band around his neck also connected loosely to the floor, preventing him from trying to run.His hands were cuffed, his ankles shackled and his wings bound. Around his forehead was also a metal band, similar to my shakra, except that just below his horns was two spikes that seemed to enter his skull.
Galia jumped against the chains to the floor, and roared. Vie entered the room with a remote in his hand. He pressed a button, and Galia stilled.
"How could you lose to her?" Vie yelled in Galia's face.
Galia closed his eyes.
"Fine then. Don't tell me." Vie whipered grimly.
He pressed another button on the remote and a shock of electricity coursed through Galia's body.)
(Raven's POV)
I opened my eyes and found elf boy laying on me. Half of me wanted to grimace in disgust and push him off me, and the other half of me wanted to look at his soft green face and smile. But of course, the first half won. I pushed him off hard and levitated the hell out of the room. Once in the hall, I had originally planned to escape to my room like I normally did, but for some reason, I started heading towards Lexi's room. The automatic door slid open in front of me, and on the floor was Alexiel. She was deep in some sort of trance, her face told me that something was wrong. Her eyebrows were scrunched together so close that they were almost touching, and every once in a while her mouth would twitch as if she was talking to someone.
I called the other titans in; I had a bad feeling that this couldn't be good.
(Alexiel's POV)
Vie ripped the metal band off Galia's forehead. Bits of bone showed before the blood started rolling down his face. Vie whipered in Galia's ear with a imposing tone. He looked straight at me and thought:
'Alexiel. My bloodsister. Please. I need your help. I know I have wronged you and your friends, but our defeat to you has turned Vie into a madman. I will take in any abuse you want to dish at me for what I have done if you free me from his grasp. Please. I can't keep this connection alive much longer and neither can you. Do you agree to help'
'How can I be sure you won't try to kill me again if I do'
'Bloodsister. I did what I did before only because Vie forced me to. My love for you will prevent it. I will open a portal for you for a third time, hopefully the last time'
I was going to ask him what he meant by the "third time", but the connection was cut off, just like he had said.
