It's been a week that Richard's been searching for Kori. It's been a week of torture for Kori. Over the past week Kori's been burned, cut, and almost rapped. She's been chained to the wall and had noting but bread to eat. Her hair was a mess and she smelled of blood.

"Ready for today's fun?" Xavier said as he came in with burning knife. It had been in the fire all night and X just now took it out. Kori knew this was going to hurt. Kori's hands and feet were chained to the wall and she was wearing rags that showed too much of her skin and the rags were covered in her blood.

"Scream for me," Xavier said before he pressed the burning metal to her leg and she started to cry. Kori couldn't scream because her mouth was covered with duck tape.

"I told you to scream for me!" Xavier yelled as he pressed it against her cheek and she let out a muffled scream.

"That's a good girl, now eat up I'll be back in five minutes," Xavier said before he ripped off her tape and threw her a piece of bread.

"How am I supposed to eat this?" Kori asked.

"I don't know, bend down and bit it or something, Xavier said before he left. Kori bent down and bit off a piece of it then chewed it and kept doing that until it was gone. Then before Xavier came back Kori let out a scream,

"RICHARD!!!"

"I told you not to scream! Now you're gonna get it!" Xavier said as he pulled out another hot knife and dug it into her leg. Kori screamed again and then Xavier hit her on the head and knocked her out leaving, her body hanging there.

Across the Town with Richard:

He was walking along the sidewalk when he heard a scream. He knew that scream anywhere, it was Kori. Richard went into a run as he followed the scream, a few minutes later there was another scream and then everything went quiet.

Richard ran through the city and came to a cave that was dark. When he walked in he saw a square room with nothing in it, but two door ways. We walked into the one to his left and found a laptop, bed, chair, and another door way. Richard went into the other door way and saw Kori chained to a wall and Xavier with knife.

Kori looked up and saw him and then widened her eyes just before X pressed the knife to her arm and she let out a muffled scream tears started to fall down her face. It was then Richard got a good look of her.

She had burning marks all over her body. There were deep gashes in her legs and arms. She had cuts on her face and you could see almost all of her body. Her face was tear stained and her eyes were blood shot.

"Come on I want to hear you scream," Xavier said and then ripped off her tape.

"RICHARD!" Kori yelled out and then X turned around to face Richard's gun.

"Well, well, well. Glad you finally found us," Xavier said as he stood up.

"But you're just a little too late, she hasn't had water for over a week and with all the pain she's engorged she won't make it for another 5 minutes," and right after Xavier said that Kori's body went limp in the chains.

"Unchain her or I'll kill you!" Richard threatened.

"If you kill me who will unchain her?" Xavier asked.

'Just do it!" Richard yelled.

"Alright, let me just get the key," Xavier said before he reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun also.

"Now that we're even, let's get to work. She has about 3 minutes to live and you don't have the key. What are you going to do?" Xavier asked with a smile.

"Well if you don't mind...?" Richard said and then took out a sword.

"It would be my pleasure," Xavier said as he also took out a sword. With that, the fight commenced. Richard lunged forward at Xavier, but Xavier blocked.

"Come on is that the best you got?' Xavier said in a mocking voice.

'I'm just getting started!' Richard said before he took out another sword and spun them around in his fingers. Xavier ran at Richard and tried to cut his arm, but Richard blocked.

"Just thought I should warn you that I've had 6 years of martial arts and training with swords," Richard said with a smirk.

"Then I should warn you that i had three years! Wait, that didn't come out right!" Xavier said.

"Um Richard could you hurry?" Kori asked, gasping for air.

"Oh right. Xavier Red you're going down!" Richard said and cut Xavier on the leg.

"Hey that hurt!" Xavier said, holding his leg where he got cut.

"Isn't that the point? I'm trying to kill you because you almost killed Kori," Richard told him.

"Oh ya, now where were we?" Xavier asked. Then were going back and forth attacking each other, until they heard Kori cry out for air and then it was quiet.

"Kori?" Richard asked as he sat beside her.

"She's gone bird boy," Xavier said smugly.

"Where did you get that from?" Richard asked after he got what Xavier called him.

"Um, I saw it on a cartoon," well Xavier was saying that Richard grabbed a gun from behind him and pulled it out.

"Goodbye Xavier," Richard said before he pulled the trigger and Xavier fell to the floor dead.
