Chapter 14 – Lukas

Lukas turned and walked towards the fire. His pale skin looked paler because of his black hair and in the light of the fire he looked almost transparent. He picked up a pair of thick leather gloves and put them on. Then he turned to where the somethings where sticking out of the fire, Will now noticed that they were metal rods that varied in size. Suddenly Will began to realise what was about to happen. Lukas seem to come to a decision and reached out a hand, grasping a fairly thick rod. It was flat on one side, really it looked more like a bat.

Lukas turned back to Will and took a few steps his way. "Do you know what I love about the heat?" he asked in his sweet sounding yet sickly voice.

When Will didn't reply he continued.

"A rod like this, without the heat, would hurt. But really it's no more than an extremely wide, heavy sword. It causes pain but really only while it's in use. But with the heat," he paused and looked admirably at the rod. "The heat makes the pain go deep. Not only does the rod do its job but the heat of it leaves pain after it has been in use. It burns."

Will looked at Lukas. "You're insane," he whispered with fear.

Lukas looked at Will. "We will see."

Then, before Will could ready himself Lukas brought the rod up and swung it at Will. It landed on his back and Will didn't even have time to cry out before another blow landed.

"I like to use the flat rods first," Lukas said before hitting Will again. "It sensitises everything so when it's time for the real stuff, everything seems a whole lot worse."

After the first two hits Will screamed but after that he was determined not to make a noise. The pain was unbelievable. Lukas continued to hit Will until the rod had gone cold.

"Had enough?" Lukas asked.

Will ignored him. Lukas took out a knife and moved forward. Will stiffened. Lukas laughed.

"Don't worry," he said. "I only want to look." He grabbed ripped off Will's cloak and then used the knife to take off his shirt. He then moved behind Will. "Look at that. Isn't it beautiful?"

Will's whole back was covered in nasty welts and burns, in two spots the rod had broken the skin and blood was dripping from the fresh wounds. Luks ran a hand over his work. Will jerked forward at the touch and in doing so put weight on his broken leg.

"Shit!" Will cried.

"Sensitive are we? Good. That means we can move on." Lukas moved back to the fire and exchanged the flat rod for one of the skinniest ones. This thin rod was curved over at the end, like a hook. "Now m' lovely," he said softly. "This one is going to hurt."

Lukas swung and Will couldn't help the scream that brought itself to his lips. It hit right across his shoulder blades and as Lukas took it away, the hooked end caught on his skin and ripped it off.

Will cried out again.

Lukas hit again and again.

"Stop!" Will screamed hopelessly. "Just stop!"

"No."

When Lukas decided Will's back had had enough, for now, he moved round to his prisoner's front. Will was breathing heavily from the pain and he just wanted it to stop.

"Now m' lovely, you've had enough?"

Will glared at the man in front of him. He was in pain. He wanted it to stop. But it would take a hell of a lot more to break his spirit.

"Not talking to me?" Lukas looked slightly offended but Will knew it was an act.

Will spat in his face.

Lukas' sick gin slowly faded and he wiped his face. "Will, you really should not have done that."

"Why?" he sarcastically. "Whether I did or didn't just spit in your face you would still torture me. It doesn't matter what I do."

Lukas nodded slowly, the fire reflecting off his perfectly black hair. "That is true m' lovely. But now I just have a reason." He smiled the same sickening smile and then went and put the rod back, this time not choosing another. He slowly took off the gloves and placed them back too. Then he walked back into the tent saying, "Goodnight my dear Will."
