A/N: So, here's the next chapter! Sorry if it's not as good as the others. A certain green-skinned assassin gets hurt. You have been warned.
Nebula smirked at her sister's fearful expression, knowing that the drug Nikolai injected into Gamora was doing it's work. Gamora's expression quickly went from fearful to angry.
"Where is it?" Nebula asked, slowly approaching her sister.
"Where is what?" Gamora asked, pretending that she didn't have a clue of what the other woman was talking about. She would die before Nebula got her hands on that necklace. Nebula slapped Gamora with a force so great that Gamora was knocked backwards, hitting her head on the wall.
"Do not play stupid! The Skreleton necklace! I know it is in your possession!"
Gamora felt scared of Nebula and she had no idea why. Gamora had never been scared of her sister, but now all she wanted to do was cower in fear. She didn't show her fear; she remained stoic.
"I do not have it." She said truthfully, looking Nebula in the eye.
"Then who does?"
"I do not know." Gamora answered, only to be met with another blow to the face.
"Don't lie! You've given it to someone! Who?" Nebula asked, grabbing a fist full of Gamora's dark hair and forcing her to her feet, a knife to Gamora's throat.
"You won't kill me. If you do, you won't find it. Not that you will find it."
Nebula chuckled darkly, pressing the knife harder against Gamora's throat, drawing a little blood.
"You will die here either way. No one will find you. Not alive, however." She said, shoving her back to the ground.
"You are wrong. By now Peter and our friends have realized that I have disappeared. For all we know, they could be on their way."
Nebula threw her head back and laughed, "Ha! I can understand the stupid tree, furry rodent, and the other freak, but what makes you think he will risk his life to save you? He will use you to get what he desires and abandon you like all the rest! Not that you will be alive for much longer." She said, looking back towards the cell door before she looked back at her sister to meet her gaze.
Gamora said nothing, only looked down at her lap, avoiding Nebula's glare.
"Unless," She started, closing the distance and crouching down where Gamora sat. Gamora slowly looked up, but quickly looked away, almost as if she was...ashamed? Maybe. Did she regret any of it? No. Not one bit. "You traitorous whore!" Nebula growled, slapping Gamora for the third time in less than ten minutes.
Once again, she lifted her sister to her feet, "Then he is definitely not coming." She stated, taking Gamora by both her arms and throwing her across the cell. The assassin hit the other wall full force before she landed back on the floor with a loud thud. Gamora groaned and tried to sit up, but excruciating pain shot through her entire torso in protest.
Something was definitely broken, but she still tried her best to get up and crawl away from her sisters wrath. She lifted up her left leg in an attempt to kick Nebula away, only for Nebula to grab it and twist it roughly as she shoved Gamora back into the wall.
There was a loud crack followed by a 'pop' and tearing sound in her knee, causing for her to cry out in pain. Nebula grabbed Gamora by both her shoulders and pulled her up, holding her by her throat against the wall. With her right knee, the green woman sent a blow into Nebula's face. Nebula released her hold in shock and pain, dropping her sister to the ground.
Just that one hit took a toll on her, giving Nebula enough time to recover before she once again lifted Gamora up and threw her.
Gamora lay in the fetal position on the floor as Nebula repeatedly sent blows right into her torso, head, and face before she grabbed both of Gamora's legs, turning her over so that she was on her back, holding a knife to her throat once more.
"You slept with the enemy! Slept with a man who will no sooner abandon you than your parents did! Where is it?" She asked, having no more patience. Not that she had any patience to begin with.
"With...with a friend." Gamora choked, curling up in submission, knowing that she wouldn't survive another beating as severe as this one.
"Name!"
"I-I would sooner...die...than let you get that necklace."
Nebula smirked, "Well, let's see what our father has to say about that."
Nebula got up and left the room, allowing Gamora to curl up in a ball on the floor.
For the first time since Ronan, Gamora allowed herself to cry.
