Chapter 7

I was taken back to the Yeerk pool where I was interrogated as to who Legolas was. I knew that if they found out about the Ring of Power there would be no stopping them from trying to get it. I wouldn't tell them anything no matter how much they tortured me. I would be sure they killed me before I betrayed Legolas and the people of Middle-Earth. I sat in a corner of my cell awaiting a visit from Visser One. Two Tyrants entered and pulled me to my feet, Visser One came swaggering in after them, carrying a baseball bat.
"Let's play a little game. I ask you a question and you give me the correct answer. For every wrong answer, well... you'll find out. Who is this person you brought back with you?"
"Go fuck a snail."
My remark succeeded in getting the wind knocked out of me. "Wrong answer. I have a feeling this may take a while. Tell me who he is."
"Never, so just go ahead and kill me."
"I think I'll have a little fun first."
He swung the bat and I flew across the room. I heard him snap his fingers and the Tyrants took me to another room where I was strapped to a table. Visser One pulled out a metal rod, sparks flew from the end. A stun baton. He stuck the crackling end to my ribcage, sending a wave of electricity through my body and making me scream in agony. He did that until the skin on my sides was charred and bleeding. I felt like I was going to pass out right then. I knew he wanted me to beg for death, but I wasn't about to give him the pleasure of carrying out that wish. He opened a small case filled with a variety of tools and took out a scalpel.
"You remember that urban legend about the kidney heist don't you?"
I screamed as the scalpel pierced my flesh and cut a line along my stomach. Tears streamed from my eyes, the pain was unbearable. He made another incision at the bottom of my ribcage. I struggled against my restraints as he removed the lower rib from each side. I choked on blood as my teeth were ripped out with a pair of pliers. Every joint was dislocated and nearly every bone broken. But he was far from done. A small group of Controllers were brought in, and when Visser One left, they ravaged me repeatedly. I was sexually violated again and again until I blacked out. I welcomed the darkness with open arms. I wanted it swallow me whole and never let me go. My last coherent thought was Legolas, and then everything was gone.
