I awoke to find a pain in both my shoulders. I looked to the side and winced as my head exploded in pain and saw that I was being held by my wrists to the ceiling. I tried to move but whimpered as I soon found out that moving meant more pain. I lifted my head weakly and saw nothing more than an empty table and closed door in front of me. I inhaled and almost choked as the chemical smell of sterilizer hit the back of my throat. I tried to move but I was bound too tightly and I only resulted in rattling the chains that held me. Someone must have heard the noise because seconds later a tall man in a hooded cloak entered the room. He said nothing as he approached and slowly circled me. I followed his movements as best I could from my position.
"Hey…what do you want with me?" As soon as I spoke I felt a sharp stinging pain spread across my back and I felt my body arch in response to the sudden pressure. A cry of pain escaped my lips and I felt tears begin to form.
"What the fuck…" Again, I was whipped. Every time I spoke another lashing came and I quickly learnt to keep my mouth shut. I had no idea what this man wanted but he clearly wasn't interested in what I had to say. When I finally grew quiet he lowered the whip and stood in front of me.
"Where is the demon?" His voice was deep and from the few words he spoke it was clear he was well off. I raised my eyes to the shadow hiding the man's eyes and swallowed.
"Demon? What demon?" He raised the whip again and my whole body shook in fear at the thought of another whipping.
"Demon? Demon! I know one demon! Sebastian, right? That demon?!" The whip was lowered and I let out a shaky breath.
"Where is the demon?" I bit my lip and shook my head.
"I don't know…I hardly know him!" The whip was brought down and I felt blood trickle from the fresh wound across my face.
"Where is the demon?" This cycle continued for god-knows how long until a thought hit me.
"How do you know about demons?" The man chuckled.
"Oh, we've been following the scum's movements for a while now…but that is not important. Where is the demon?" I took in his words; we've been following the scum's movements. Surely that meant they would know where he is…
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?" Suddenly his face was close to mine and I saw a pair of green eyes watching me closely.
"Why? Because you dealt with the demon and lived to tell the tale! You are connected to this beast and if I am correct he will come for you" The man was completely serious, what a shame. I let out a harsh chuckle and shook my head.
"Clearly you didn't do your research. I'm not 'connected' to Sebastian at all; he won't be coming for me" The man made a 'tch' sound and moved away from me so I was facing his back. His arms moved and his head lowered and then suddenly he spun around and came close to me. He grabbed my hair in his fist and held my head up while bringing a blade, which he must have hidden inside the cloak, to my throat. I didn't dare breathe as he pushed the metal into my skin and I gripped the chains above me tightly in my hands.
"Perhaps if you scream he will come…yes…lets spill your blood and see how fast the demon comes running" I felt my body tense and my lip tremble. He's going to kill me.
"Please you don't need to do this…I know where he is! If you let me go…" The blade pushed deeper into my neck and I gasped as it slowly cut into the flesh.
"You had your chance and now, my pretty, you will be a sacrifice…" It was almost unrealistic – how the fuck was I dying this way? I wasn't supposed to die this way…I was supposed to be old surrounded by family, I was supposed to die with my husband by my side…I closed my eyes as the man drew back the blade preparing to slice my throat open no doubt. That's when it happened. Time froze in place and reality unravelled as my mind reached out. He asked me questions, questions that were quickly answered. His words of revenge made my soul shiver in pleasure and in that moment, I realised I was completely and utterly weak. I couldn't say no. It took only seconds for me to open my eyes, another second for my captor to witness the hatred in my eyes and then the last final second for me to snarl out one word.
"Kill"
