CHUNK DUDE

I watched the dolphin thing laugh softly as he watched the small band make their way towards his castle. The one WE were imprisoned in. L was talking to Raven about something. It must've been rude, cuz Raven then punched him - hard - on his arm and yelled something. Dimentio laughed and said something else, making them charge towards them. I didn't see the rest.

"Now," said the dolphin called Eevill as he went towards the cage, "who today?"

None of us spoke. We all didn't want it to be us, but we didn't want it to be anyone else, either.

"I'll do it," said Bolt finally, standing up and looking firmly at Eevill.

"No WAY!" exclaimed Timpani suddenly. "I can't stand seeing another living, feeling being in pain... do it to me!"

"No!" yelled the Count, forcing his wife towards the back of the cage, out of Eevill's reach. "I shall do it. Frankly, I deserve it..."

"We're not gonna let ya do that!" I heard Mimi shout the same words as me, but it didn't matter a jot. If someone got tortured, then our efforts would be for nothing.

"How about," smirked Eevill, "her?"

We all followed the talon that pointed. I felt my blood run cold as I saw it was Nastasia who he was looking at.

"NO!" I bellowed. I lunged in front of the beautiful lass. I didn't see her expression, but I heard her gasp. I glared at the dolphin and cracked my knuckles. "I ain't gunna let teh lass suffer like 'at! Why don' I introduce ya teh Fist Jr. and 'is wee pal, Slappie?"

I showed him my fists to make my point clearer. But Eevill just laughed and slammed his tail against the floor. In a flash of red light, Nastasia was sitting on the steel chair in the middle of the room. Her wrists, neck and ankles were fastened down by steel straps, and there were weird wire things that stopped any powers from being used.

"NASSY!" screamed Mimi.

"Mimi, no!" yelled the couple.

"Let her GO!" demanded Bolt.

I was too angry and scared to talk, just banged my fists together.

But Eevill smirked and placed a talon on a red lever next to the chair.

"No," begged Nastasia. "No, please! No, no, NOO!"

Eevill flipped the switch and there was a flash of light and Nastasia was screaming and screaming as though she was on fire and Mimi was screaming too and I tried to break the bars but I couldn't and Bolt was howling and Timpani was sobbing and the Count was yelling and the world was ending and it was going black and I couldn't see and Eevill was laughing and he tugged the lever higher and Nastasia screamed higher and I roared and I couldn't move and we were tied by magic and I struggled and Nastasia was crying and screaming and Eevill laughed and pulled the lever down and it stopped.

Nastasia was released and she fell down. She was gasping. Eevill laughed again and slammed his tail. Nastasia was back in the cage.

She stumbled upwards, then fell back down. Without knowing what I was doing, I scooped the lass up and hugged her. She murmured something, and hugged me too. Then we were all crying and hugging each other and hoping hoping hoping that L and Dimentio and Raven would save us.

Save us all.
