Chapter Twenty-One

The Second Day

Jake was rudely awoken by a kick in the ribs. Jake griped his side and rolled over onto his back and look up toward the one who kicked him. The Huntsmaster stood over him with a devilish smile across his face.

"Have you given up yet Dragon?" he asked.

"Never…" Jake tried to say but it came out as a whisper. The truth was Jake's throat was too dry for him to really talk.

"Well, if that's your choice." The Huntsman snapped his fingers and three men came in and scooped Jake up. They carried him down the same hall they had the previous day and threw him into the torture room. The room was different today. The stone slab was now missing but the dried blood on the floor still remained. All the weapons and instruments on the walls were also gone. The giant mirror still hung on the far wall of the room.

There was something new in the room. Next to the door was some sort of digital clock. The large numbers were crimson red and looked as if it was showing what looked like two o'clock.

The Huntsmaster walked into the room and shut the door behind him. He latched it shut from the inside so no one could get in or out. He looked at Jake with evil intensions in his eyes as he started to walk towards him.

"Are you ready for your punishment?" asked the Huntsman. Jake got to his feet and faced the Huntsman. He didn't respond in words but the fierce look in his eyes said it all. The Huntsman suddenly grabbed Jake by the throat and lifted him off his feet. Jake tried to struggle and get out of the Huntsman grasp but it was in vain.

Jake suddenly felt a sharp pain explode on the side of his face. Jake fell to the ground with a thud. It took him a minute before he realized the Huntsman punched him. Jake looked up at the Huntsman with a shocked expression on his face. Jake got to his feet but wasn't up for long. The Huntsman kneed Jake in the stomach forcing all the air from his lungs. Jake was on his way to the ground when the Huntsman grabbed him by the hair and slammed his head into the concrete wall.

Jake screamed in pain as the Huntsman's brutal assault continued. Jake was punched, kicked, and slammed into the wall numerous times. He tried to fight back but it all ended in pain. The horrible beating continued like this for the next two hours.

Then finally when Jake was thrown into the corner of the room a beeping noise filled the chamber. The clock on the wall next to the door read all zeros.

"Well my time with you is up Dragon," said the Huntsman. He walked over to the door and left the room. Jake struggled to his feet and started to walk towards the door. The Huntsman had forgotten to lock it on his way out. But before Jake could make it to the door it opened and another person entered. Jake looked at the man and realized to was the same guy from his first test!

"Long time boy," said the man. Before Jake could answer the man ran at him and spin kicked Jake in the head. Jake slammed to the ground with a yelp of pain. The man walked over to the timer and reset it of two hours.

"Your mine," he said.

Rose's POV

Rose watched merciless beating from behind the one way mirror. To Jake it looked like the mirror hung on the wall when in reality it was built in. Rose wanted desperately to look away of help Jake but with her uncle right beside her all she could do was watch. He was forcing her to be here trying to see where her loyalty lied. Zeek, the man Jake was now being beaten by, was just wailing on him. Jake never had a chance to defend himself, or get to his feet. When Jake would fall on the floor Zeek would pick him up by his neck of hair and start attacking again.

Zeek now had Jake pinned up against the wall with one of his arms behind his back. Zeek was bending Jake's arm so far back she could hear Jake's screams perfectly through the thick glass. Zeek took Jake's arm in one hand and with the other he hit it so hard Rose heard his arm break. Jake fell to his knees screaming in pain. Tears began to well up inside Rose but she had to repress them. She had to look like it didn't affect her so Rose could help Jake.

Zeek's horrible beating continued for the next hour and the timer went off. Then Zeek was replaced with another Huntsclan member and another two hour beating ensued. The beatings lasted a total of twelve hours. Jake was bruised all over his body, his arm had turned purple from the thrashing it had taken from the other beatings, and he had coughed up blood on more than one occasion. Jake looked like he was broken.

Jake's POV

Pain coursed through Jake's entire body. He felt nothing but pain. Breathing hurt, thinking hurt, he didn't even attempt to move. When the Huntsman ordered that he be taken back to his cell it hurt when they moved him. Today they laid him on the stone slab that was his bed and left him there. Jake wanted to pain to stop so badly it was tempting to just give up now. But Jake knew he couldn't give up. If he did then a lot of people would die. He wasn't going to have their blood on his hands. So Jake closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
