"What do you want with me? I didn't do anything to you?" I cried out and panted quickly.

"Do I really need a reason to have you under my thumb? Here, let's start from the beginning: 1. you are a demon and not just a demon, but a Koorime with special ice powers. You and your people can cry crystal gems. 2. I want those gems and I will get them where and whenever I want," said a deep voice that gave me the shivers running down my back. This small, bald guy captured me a week ago or I think it's been a week and I have been drugged, electrified, and nearly drowned in a big pool of ice water. It is a way to get me to cry since they think I'm a poor, defenseless girl who can't do anything. Well, I think their guess is wrong, because this whole time I've been tied down to a chair and tortured against my will; I will never do their willing. I will never cry. How did I even get captured in the first place? That part is very blurry. All I want to do is find my brother and this guy is not letting me go. How did he even know I am a demon? I thought humans never heard of demons before? I guess I was wrong.

"I want those gems!" The bald guy yelled at me and slapped me across my face, causing me to bleed, but that didn't make me cry. I have learned a new technique; whenever ice demons feel vulnerable, they turn everything around them and their hearts turn into ice. I couldn't feel anything; I didn't even feel the kidnapper slap me. I don't like this feeling! This is what the villagers back at home feel and do every day! This is a way to protect themselves from getting hurt and it does work. Why are ice demons cold hearted? "Hey little girl! Are you listening to me?" he slapped me again, but this time, he used a belt and hit me a little bit harder, but nothing worked, "Alright, let's take her to the chair." I felt rough hands grab my arms and tug me away from the room. They cuffed me to a wired chair, or that's what they told me on my first day here. I couldn't move my hands or feet and the ice inside of me started to crack. I didn't like this chair, this was torture! Oh, someone help me! All of a sudden, I felt the electricity crack and sizzle and that is when the pain came. It shocked me and I couldn't even move, I had nowhere to go. The ice inside of me broke into millions of pieces and I screamed with all my might, "Stop it! Please! No more!" The bald guy just gave me an evil smile and the power went up even more. I didn't remember my eyes were full of tears; I heard a thump on the floor and about 40 to 50 gems collapsed under my feet. I didn't even remember passing out, the next thing I knew, I was back in my cell, laying on my stomach on the stone floor. I got up to the one window I had in this room, and touched it with my right hand, but it zapped me and I lost some of my strength. That's what electricity does, it weakens my ice powers and it can easily kill me and my people if we get shocked too many times.

I still try to think back when I traveled through Demon World and walked through the portal. Why do I not remember that? I must have hit my head really hard since I don't remember that part. I do remember where I came from, my best friend, Arishu, and finding out about my twin brother. What really happened to me that day I got captured?

"Okay, you got your gems. Will you let me go now?" I asked my kidnapper the next morning.

"I never said I would let you go."

"What? I thought….." I was interrupted.

"You thought nothing. I'm not done using you, yet. I still want more of those gems. Get used to this life." He left the prison room.

It's been 5 years now and I still can't escape from this nightmare.
