Chapter 4

(Royce's POV)

I swung my bat at the glass again and again as the spell caused more sparks to fly around me. 'Danni..' I thought sadly as I heard the last of her screams fade. "Fucking Cyrus I'll kill you if anything happens to her I swear I'll murder you!" I yelled as i continued to get out of this glass prison. "Please refrain from using such vulgar language in front of Billy." A kind motherly voice said. I turned to the voice and saw a woman in a hospital gown carrying an iv drip. "Sorry." I muttered. "What is your name Torn Prince?" 'Torn Prince?' I gave her a confused look and she smiled at me. "It's your zodiac name, we are given names based on our souls and the way we died, my zodiac name is The Withered Lover but my name is Jean Kriticos." "Royce Clayton." "It's nice to meet you Royce. The one to your left is George Markley, The Hammer". I looked over to see a big, tall man with railroad spikes sticking out of him. "The one to your right is Billy Michaels, The First Born Son." I looked to the right slightly shocked to see a little boy about 7 or 8 wearing a cowboy outfit with an arrow sticking out of his head. "Over there is Jimmy Gambino, Danna Newman and Susan LeGrow, The Torso, The Angry Princess and The Bound Woman." I looked over the the far right to see the torso and arms of a man holding a severed head all wrapped in plastic, a naked woman with pale skin and black eyes covered in deep cuts, and a woman in a prom dress with her hands tied behind her back and a tie around her neck. "Those three over there are Elizabeth Smith and Margret and Harold Shelbourn, The Pilgramess and The Great Child and Dire Mother." I look ahead of me, next to Jean was a woman with old tattered clothes and a heavy wooden shackle around her head and arms, on the other side of Jean I saw a really big man wearing a diaper being fed by a really tiny woman. "All last but not least the two at the very far end are Ryan Khun and Horace Mahony, The Jackal and The Juggernaut." I saw a really tall man littered with bullet holes but The Jackal was a different story, he was dressed in a mental straight jacket with a cage over his head and all you could hear was a sick laughter that made your skin crawl. The sight of him made me want to escape and find my beloved. 'Please be safe my love.'

(Danni's POV)

I kicked and screamed as I was being dragged closer and closer to The Jackal's cell. "No! Anyone but him please, no let me go, Royce!" "It'll be a lot easier if you dont fight." I spit in his face and me punched me knocking me out. I wake up a few moments later to a sound I never want to hear again. I look over and see The Jackal clawing at the glass and laughing like the maniac he was. "Well well it looks like my little kitty wants to play again." I glared at him hoping the barrier doesnt disappear. "Fuck you Ryan!" "Oh dont worry we'll have plenty of time for that later." I shuddered a bit at the thought of Ryan touching me again. I think back to the time where I was used as bait to help capture him. Cryus tossed me into his old basement cell at the asylum where I was held captive for two days with Ryan it was that night I regretted ever making that deal with Cyrus, that night I wished I had died after he was done with me, but because of my immortal state I cant die so I was forced to endure Ryan's cruel torture. I was brought out of my thoughts by Ryan banging on the glass barrier separating us. I pushed myself to the farthest end of my cage trying to get as far away from him as possible. Ryan continues to bang on the glass breaking bit by bit. I started to panic as i saw the barrier cracking. "Royce!" I screamed hoping he would come and save me. "Danni! Danni! Is that you?" I heard Royce calling for me. "Royce help me!" I could barely see Royce swinging his bat at the glass trying to break it. "Ryan if you fucking touch her I will kill you!" Ryan laughed at him "We'll see about that." With that I saw Ryan hitting the barrier harder cracking the glass even more. "Royce!" I screamed as I saw the barrier collapse and Ryan lunged at me. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact only for it to never come. I open my eyes and see Royce beating Ryan with his bat. "Danni Run!" I took off without a second thought and ran down the maze-like halls only to come face to face with...
