Chapter 3: Severe Punishment
I had run out of Voltaire's office and was now running down the corridors of the abbey looking for an exit. I soon realised this wasn't too smart. I didn't have a clue where I was going which was the whole point of the abbey's corridors being a maze.
"This is very bad. I shouldn't have done what I did, but otherwise I'd have been under the control of Black Drazier already." I said to myself as I ran down another corridor.
I turned a corner and quickly backtracked. There was a guard at the end of that corridor and fortunately had his back to my direction so didn't notice me.
"Oh, how did I get into this mess? I should have listened to Kai when he told me to leave before." I asked myself and managed to get past to the next corridor without being heard.
I kept running, looking around to make sure no one was around to notice me. I was scared because I knew if I got caught, I'd be lucky to survive Biovolt's punishments. I ran around another turn and banged into someone. I fell backwards and looked up slowly...Boris!
"Ah, perfect. Glad to find you still in our abbey..." and he stopped thinking of my name.
He pulled me to my feet and stared down into my scared eyes.
"Well, what is your name?" he asked.
He shook me slightly and I said "Dawn..." then he let my wrist go for a moment.
"Okay, you." he called to a guard. "Take her to Training Room 1. Master Voltaire ordered to have her taught in Biovolt's lessons."
The guard came over with a comrade and they grabbed my arms and dragged me off to the training room. I knew I was in for it now.

In the dungeons, Kai was brought back down and pushed into his cell.
"Don't get too relaxed, Kai. You won't be here long before teaching the girl some tricks." said the guard as he left the dungeon.
Kai sat down in the cell and sighed. The other Bladebreakers in the cell opposite looked across.
"Kai, what's going on? What have they done to Dawn?" asked Hilary.
"Voltaire offered her a Black Drazier and she refused to use it and ran out of the office." Kai said and the others gasped.
"Black Drazier? That sounds bad, whatever it is." said Tyson.
"She left the office. This place is a maze, she won't escape will she, Kai?" asked Ray.
"I hate to admit it, Ray, but I agree with you. She won't get away. She doesn't stand a chance and now she'll have to suffer Biovolt's punishments like I once had to." Kai said.
The others all looked scared.
"What exactly do Bio-whatever do to people for punishment?" asked Daichi.
"Biovolt, Daichi. It's an acronym for Beybladers Intent On Victory Over Lawless Tyranny." explained Kai. "And what they do for punishment is some of the worst punishments you will have ever heard of." he continued as he looked down at a couple of thin scars on his arms.
"Oh, that sounds horrible. And your grandfather is the guy in charge? Man, you've had it rougher than I originally thought." said Daichi quietly in fear and shock.
Kai just sat back with his eyes closed thinking.
"I'm sorry I let this happen to you." he thought sadly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Training Room 1, I was pulled in and stared around, it was a big, circular room and looked very dark and eerie. One of the guards switched a light switch on and some lights flickered. I knew I was in trouble now, but this was not going to be nice and it made me shiver in fear.
"You disobeyed Biovolt and you'll pay for it." said one of the guards as he and his comrade got out a whip each and approached me.
I stared up at them in fear and closed my eyes when they brought their whips down. My arms were soon covered in scratches and cuts. I felt pain more than I ever had, but couldn't do anything about it.
"Why are you taking a break? Keep teaching her the lessons." came Boris' voice over a comlink.
"Okay, boss." said the guards.
One guard made me turn around and his comrade started to strike my back multiple times. I started to scream more at this point.
"This is fun, but she's not very stubborn." said the guard striking me.
"Who cares really? As long as she does learn our lessons." said the other guard.
I soon fell forwards and tried to stop myself, but my arms couldn't from the pain so I landed hard.
"Now finish it. Break her down." said Boris from the comlink.
Both guards brought their whips down and continuously struck my back over and over again. I gasped and screamed with every hit and blood was pouring out of my wounds. They finally stopped and I lay flat, barely breathing as every time I inhaled, it hurt my entire body.
"She's broken, boss. She's barely breathing and can't move a muscle without pain." said one guard into the comlink.
"Well done, guys. Take her back to her cell so the others can see what's happened, then we'll arrange the plans for Black Drazier's use and her lessons from Kai." said Boris.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the cells, Kai was really worrying. It was getting darker, but enough light left to see.
"I hope Dawn will be okay." said Hilary.
"I can't lie to you, Hilary. She may live, but she won't be okay." said Kai quietly and sadly.
"She 'may' live." said Daichi in shock. "You don't know for sure. This place is horrible."
Kai nodded and the doors were opened. They all turned to face the sound and two guards walked in dragging something behind them.
"Oh no..." Hilary mouthed and she stared wide-eyed as the guards threw me into the cell and I landed with a groan and didn't move.
"She will soon be ready to use Black Drazier, so we'll be back to get you two tomorrow evening." said the guard to Kai.
Kai growled as the guards left then he looked over at me. The others looked over too.
"Dawn..." said Hilary slowly.
"Are you okay?" asked Tyson a little stupidly.
Kai looked over and worried that I wasn't moving, but he noticed I was ever so slightly moving my chest as I breathed in and out slowly.
"Is she...?" asked Daichi.
"No, she's not dead, Daichi. She is brutally injured, but she's alive." said Kai slightly shakily in anger.
He looked at me again and I slowly tried to move, but failed so just stayed lying flat on my front.
"Just rest for now, Dawn. I'll watch over you best as I can." said Kai quietly so only I could hear him.
I tried to nod and my eyes closed so I fell asleep. Kai wiped a tear away and sat back against the wall.
