Chapter 8: Chinese Torture
When I woke it was still so dark. The darkness frightened me because someone might be watching me, standing right next to me. I ast up and stood up to stretch my legs.
"Wait a minute!" I said with a shriek. "I was shackled last night, what happened." Someone came up behind me and pushed me on the bed. The lights flickered on again.
"I do not know how you got unshackled, but you were a second ago." I heard Ken growl near the light switch. I looked at the tan, black haired man now standing next to me.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked curiously. He stared at me.
"Have you ever hear of Chinese water torture?" he asked.
"Yes." I responded.
"Good." He grabbed my arm and pulled me to the iron door.
He dragged me through a series of halls until we reached a door painted a bright white. He threw me inside to the blonde and dark blonde girls. They wasted no time. They threw me on a table. They restrained my wrists above my head, and shackled my ankles tightly. They put a head restraint on my face. About a few feet above my forehead was a tank full of water, that had a dropper at the end. I heard that if Chinese torture lasted too long then I could die. The lights went out. I heard a click and then a drop of water hit my forehead. I flinched. It didn't hurt but it caught me by surprise. The drops of water comes at different periods of time. My history teacher told us about it. Another drop hit me.
"Scream if you want!" Said an excited voice. I could tell that it was Ken's. I knew that he wanted to do this for a long time now. I saw this happen to Karie on Mythbusters. I needed to stay calm or else I would break down screaming, just what Ken wants. Another drop hit me and then another. How long were they planing on doing this. I was getting scared now. I had butterflies in my stomach. How long would this last. Another drop hit me and then two more. I felt really horrible right now. I wanted to break down screaming. Maybe he wanted to test my psychological strength. I wanted to prove that I could take it. What was better. My pinky started shaking. I tried to hold it. A few more drops hit me. I felt like I was going to throw up. Another drop hit me.
"AAAAHHHH! Let me go! PLEASE!" I screamed. I couldn't take it. I thought maybe the click that I heard at the beginning was the machine turning on, so I would hear a click when they turned it off. Three drops hit me.
"AAAAAAHHHHH! Let me go!" I demanded. I started crying. "AAAAAHHHHH!" I didn't want to die. Not ever. I never heard the click. "PLEASE! TURN IT OFF!" I screamed again.
"Don't worry you have an hour of this left. It will go by fast. Heck, it's already been a half an hour." Said Ken over a microphone. I couldn't take it. I didn't want this anymore. I wanted to leave. I would do anything.
"TAOOOOO!" I screamed. "HELPPPPPP!" I was starting to think that my screaming was useless.
"You have to shut her up our else Tao will come. You know of there great hearing." Said one of the girls.
"Fine!" Said Ken angrily. I heard the click that would save my life. The lights came back on. The two girls unshackled me. My shoulders hurt from all the flinching. They didn't let them rest. Them pushed me on the floor. Ken dragged me up.
He dragged me all the way to the iron door. He flung me inside. The lights were out. I lay there on the cold floor. My shoulders hurt like heck. The door opened and the two girls came in. They picked me up and shackled me again. The chains still had the slack in them. I lay down.
Well, at least my shoulders are below my head. I thought. I was glad that it was all over. Maybe it wasn't. I lay there. I remembered when one of the girls told Ken to stop it so Tao wouldn't come. I didn't know if I should scream or not. It wasn't fun here. All of a sudden the chains withdrew. They yanked my shoulders up.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" I screamed. "TAOOOOOO! HELPPPPP!" I couldn't take the pain. I cried. I wanted to get out of here so bad. My arms felt like they would fall off. I couldn't feel my legs anymore. I wanted out. I fell asleep.
