" Good to see you awake again" Amanda said as soon as she noticed Alex regaining consciousness.
" Glad to be back" Alex replied sarcastically still too weak to face Amanda. She used all her power to lift her head and face her captor.
" Do you want a drink? Whisky 1867. Really good." Amanda said and filled a glass with the liquid.
" Come on, Alex. I don't like to drink alone" Amanda added when Alex didn't reply. Alex was trying to figure out what type of game Amanda played this time when she was brought out of her thoughts.
" I think that you do. Let me serve you" Amanda said and walked towards Alex and stood in front of her. An evil grin was formed on her face when Alex realised what Amanda was up to. Before she could ever make a sound, Alex let a horrible scream of pain to escape her mouth and she was left groaning and screaming from the pain tied up in a chair.
" You wasted a such a bottle of whisky just to torture me?" Alex gasped trying to ignore the excruciating burn that was crossing her body from her gunshot wound. Amanda had poured the alchocol on Alex's opened wound.
" I told you that I don't like to drink alone" Amanda said coldly as ice.
" Tell me where Katrina is. Don't make me ask you again, Alexandra. I don't like torturing my niece" Amanda asked threateningrily.
" Ooh, now I am your niece. Aunt Alicia or Amanda or however you want me to call you, I will spare you some time talking. I am not giving you Katrina" Alex said firmly.
Amanda placed a hand to Alex's chair and with the other titled Alex's head back from the hair so that the younger girl could face her. She looked directly into Alex's blue eyes.
" Why?" she asked softly and she placed her hand on Alex's crashed hand menacingly. She had made herself clear, answer my question or I will cause you more pain.
Alex didn't turn her gaze away. She was prepared for the pain and she decided to reply honestly.
" Because she doesn't want to meet you and because you are a sadistic bitch that she isn't going to hesitate to kill her daughter. I have to protect her from you" Alex said.
" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Alex screamed as Amanda made her threat a reality and pressed Alex's crashed hand.
" That is exactly what I am talking about" Alex mentioned when she caught her breathe back.
" How do you know what she wants and what not?" Amanda asked coldly.
" I have asked her" Alex said hesitantly, not knowing how Amanda was going to react in that statement.
" Explain" Amanda asked and walked to a table, where she had placed her torturing tools.
" When I found her, she was in shock. She was mad at me for letting her think that I was dead but when I explained to her what have happened, she forgave me. One day she told me that she thought that she had seen you in a cafetteria. She was upset. She had already found out that someone who had considered dead was alive and she doubted everything. I didn't know what to tell her...So I asked her if she wanted that to be true. If she wanted you to be alive" Alex said and paused.
" Continue" Amanda ordered.
" She told me that if you were alive, she didn't want to know it or meet you. She didn't want to hate you. She didn't want to find out that for any reason, you were able to leave her behind. For Katrina, her mother died. She was an innocent, kind, caring woman, who loved her daughter." Alex said and took a deep breathe.
" I asked her if she wanted me to look into that. She didn't want to and she asked me to keep away from her this spy life. Her mother died when she was a teenager" Alex finished.
" Well, she may doesn't want to speak to me but I want" Amanda said coldly and took a sit opposite to Alex.
" And what are you going to tell her, Amanda? and what if she doesn't want to hear you and fight for that,are you going to drug her, punch her, capture her?...she is your daughter. You took her mother away from her, respect at least that she doesn't want you back in her life" Alex tried to reason Alex.
" She will listen to me no matter what and you are going to tell me where to find her" Amanda said and took a small tool in her hands. She started ripping Alex's nails one by one from her right hand and she let evil laughs fill the room as Alex screamed in pain.
" Don't be silly, Alex. Save your life. Tell me what I want" Amanda asked coldly.
" You are a maniac" Alex stated and didn't say anything else.
" As you wish. Let me introduce you to my new toy" Amanda said and picked up a diver's mask.
" It looks like a diver's mask but it isn't. As long as I put that in your head, water will replace the air and you will suffocate unless I release you" Amanda explained and stood behind Alex, grabbing her head in a painful grip so that she isn't going to struggle.
" Do you really want to try it?" Amanda asked on last time and placed the mask on Alex's face. She stood there watching as Alex was fighting to breathe, her lunges screaming for oxygen. When Alex was ready to pass out, she took off the mask. Alex started coughing trying to breathe properly.
" Do you want to try again? Where is Katrina?" Amanda asked again Alex was able to breathe again.
" You will have to kill me first" Alex said firmly.
Amanda repeated the procedure for about 6 times. She was getting really mad at Alex.
" You are stupid" Amanda stated. She took out a lighter and placed it in front of Alex's eyes. She watched as Alex tried to overpower an upcoming panic attack. She had hit Alex's weak spot. Fire. Amanda smiled and she lighted a fire.
" You were supposed to die in that fire, Alex. If you don't tell me where Katrina is, I will make it sure that you will burn alive in another fire. I will burn you little by little causing you excruciating pain and went I am done, I will set you on fire. Take my offer, tell me where my daughter is and I will let you go. If I ask you one more time, there isn't a way back. You have one hour to make your mind" Amanda said coldly and slammed Alex's face.
" Yuri! Take care of her. I am not done yet with her. I will be back in one hour" Amanda said and left the room.
Back at division...
" Nikki! We have her location" Birkoff yelled taking Nikita out of her sickness from seeing Alex like that...
