Here is the the next chapter. Apparently I'm not getting many reveiws but a good number are reading. If only one is I'll continue. I love this story and this is for all who review. I'll will tell you this. It's going to get gory. If you don't like that kind of thing then you might want to think twice before reading.

Thanks

Chapter 27

Lothos traced his hands down Jack's chest and each leg. He took the chains off his feet and spread his legs wide on the table, chaining them back, so he couldn't move. Jack struggled but it was no use. He couldn't get away.

Lothos took a scapel that he had found in Jack's bag when they first grabbed them and brought it over to him. He took another eye piece and placed it on Jacks face forcing them to remain open. Jack couldn't close his eyes or even blink.

Lothos started with the scapel. Jack struggled again as Lothos traced his chest and legs with the flat surface of it, then he took it and made several cuts along his chest and both legs to match the ones already there. Blood poured from them and Lothos licked his lips. Jack winced in pain.

Lothos grabbed one of the large candles and walked back over to where Jack was chained. He took an eye dropper and filled it with the hot wax. He dropped several drops right beside his eyes, then grinned and poured the hot wax into the places he'd just cut with the scapel, filling them up. Jack sucked in a breath and arched his back as the wax burned him and immediately began to harden inside the cuts, stopping the blood flow.

"Don't want you to bleed to death now do we? We're just getting started," said Lothos.

"Please stop," said Jack, but Lothos laughed.

"I need to clean that up," said Alanya. "My brother has made a horrible mess." He grabbed some boiling water off the fire and brought it over to Jack. Grabbing another eye dropper, Alanya filled it up, and held it over Jack's eyes. "Better not move Jack. I'd hate to miss and this go into your eyes." Jack went totally still and Alanya dropped several drops of the water in various places on his face and neck, causing red marks where the scalding water hit. Jack cried out, and then Alanya took a baster and filled it up, and traced the cuts where the wax had been placed. He poured scalding water in each cut causing the wax to melt, then harden again. Jack couldn't help he. He screamed in agony.

"Stop!" yelled Jack. He had red places all over his face and chest where they had burned him.

"PLEASE!!" said Jack fearfully, but they were no where near finished and Jack just stared in horror as Lothos grabbed the next item off the fire. It was boiling oil and he walked over to Jack with it.

"Did that hurt Jack?" asked Lothos.

"Yes, please stop," said Jack, but Lothos grinned. "Bet this is going to hurt more." He flled up the droppers and baster with the oil.

"NO!" yelled Jack. "Oh God, no! Please don't!" Jack pleaded. Lothos grinned and went down to his legs. Jack tried to kick but couldn't get away. He wanted to concentrate, to free himself of the straps but Alanya took the eye dropper, filled with boiling oil and held it over Jack's face, close to his eyes. Jack struggled, but Alanya threatened him with it by moving it closer to his eyes.

"This is going to happen Jack. You can stop struggling and let my brother do what he's going to do, or I will drop this oil in your damn eyes and burn them out. The choice is yours.

"PLEASE!" yelled Jack again but Alanya rested the heel of his hand on Jack's forhead, the dropper poised right over his eyeballs. He wanted to close them but couldn't. They piece over them forced them to remain open. He had to stare at the dropper. He didn't have a choice. He swallowed hard and saw the smoke.

"Choice is your's Jack. Either Lothos burns your legs or I burn out your eyes. What's it going to be?"

Jack went still again. Afraid to move. Unable to even blink. Alanya brought the dropper closer until the tip of it was touching his lashes. Jack could feel the heat of the oil.

"Choose!" yelled Alanya and Jack jumped and then screamed. "OK! My legs! Please! My legs!" Alanya grinned and removed the dropper from Jack's face. Lothos drizzled boiling oil over Jack's legs and he screamed in agony as the pain became unbearable, but he couldn't pass out. He couldn't close his eyes. He wanted nothing more than to slip into unconsciousness but it wasn't going to happen. Red Welts appeared on Jack's legs and immediately blistered up.

"We're just getting started Jack and placed the oil and the water back on the fire to heat up to boiling again. "We'll be continuing this real soon," said Alanya but would not let Jack rest. He brought a very bright light over to where Jack was chained and placed it directly over his eyes, to burn them until he decided to start all over again. He had plenty of things prepared to do, but decided this was to much fun to hurry through so he decided to pace himself.

Jack was in so much pain, but remained as still as he could. The light was killing his eyes, but he was afraid of what they were going to do to him next.

Bryan tugged at the cuffs again and almost got his hand free when John appeared in front of him.

"John," said Bryan, but John grabbed his hand and clamped the cuff tighter causing him to grit his teeth.

"John, listen to me. Please!" said Bryan and John glared.

"What the hell did I tell you Bryan," said John getting in his face.

He nodded, "Only speak when spoken to," said Bryan, "but I've got to say something."

"What?' asked John clearly not interested.

"This is not you John. We're friends man. Why are you doing this? Somehow Alanya has gotten to you. Now I know from past experience that you can hear me. I know you're in there John. You've got to fight. You're stronger. You can beat Alanya. Fight him!" said Bryan, and suddenly wished he'd never said a word.

John knocked him hard across the face, knocking his head back against the wall. "I told you to shut the hell up Bryan! Yeah, John is in here, but he can't do a thing. You think he's stronger?" asked Alanya.

"I know he is," said Bryan. "He'll beat you just like Tony and Sam did." John hit him again.

"John!" yelled Bryan. "LISTEN TO ME!"

"You will not speak unless I tell you to Bryan. You think I'm kidding." Bryan tried to shrink back against the wall but didn't get far as John glared. His eyes were still black and Bryan wished he'd kept his mouth shut. John had murder on his face, and it was directed at him.
