When I woke up I was back on Firefang's bed. When I tryed getting up there was a chain arounnd my ankle and was drilled into the bed post.

Firefang was right next to me oviously to drunk to get up.

I slumped back on the pillow but as soon as my back touched it Firefang woke with a start.

"Who is it?" he said

Then he got up.

"So you disobeyed me when I specificly said do not try to escape there will be consequenses, but you did not listen now I have to go this morning to talk with Capricorn to discuss your punishment..... and trust me it won't be light." he chuckled then walked out the door while I was screaming curses at him.

" The more curses you scream at me the more painful the punishmment is!" he yelled back but I didn't care what ever I got could not be worse even with the curses added.

Later that day Firefang came back and unchained my ankle and started to pick me up.

" I think I can walk." I said oviously annoyed that he thought I was an object instead of a human being.

"Fine but the second you try to run I will be on you with as pain as an elephant's foot."

"Fine." I grumbled

We walked out into the parking lot and got in a car with Capricorn driving.

I sat in the backseat in the middle of Firefang and Basta and frankly I did not know whitch on was scarier.

As we were driving away I started to wonder where we were going and what would happen to me.

" Where are we going?" I asked

"Hell" Basta replied

"Great." I said

After about 3 hours of driving we finally pulled up into a driveway right off the road that was hidden behind some bushes.

There stood in the middle of the area was a large barn like house.

"What are you taking me to milk eggs?" I said then started to laugh

"Welcome to were you are gonna live for the next 5 days." Capricorn said

As we were walking up the path I herd screams.

When we got to the door Capricorn nocked on the door.

When the door opened I saw a huge young man with an evil grin on his face.

"Lilly we were expecting you." he said

"I would like to have her back in 5 days and with some smail mabey 3 to 4 inch cuts or none but no big whip cuts ok?" Firefang said

I looked at Firefangs face with horror and Basta started laughing.

" Come on darling I am not gonna hurt you.....a lot." He then started laughing too and pulled me in.

When I got inside I looked at my surroundings. There was a fire place with a blazing fire in it and a big leather couch in the center of the room. On the walls were many paintings.

"Oh no sweetie you aren't staying here."

He lead me to another room that had one bed in the middle and a small tiny cot on the right of the room.

"That cot is where you are gonna sleep."

He then lead me out of the house into a small shed in the shed were walls with chains on them and a bed with chains on in and in the corner was a basket with whips in it.

"This is tourchure!" I said

"I know." he replied

"And it gets better.....you get to be here and other sheds most of the day." he chuckled then pushed me in.

I started screaming and he rushed oner to a wall and grabbed a walkie-talkie off a shelf and grumbled something into it.

Then suddenly the doors swooped open and in rushed two men that looked hot but were evil. They headed right towards me but I had nowere to move, if I scooted back the man behind me could get me and the other guys were circleing me.

Then as quick as a blink one of them ran up to me, picked me up and dumped me on the bed. Next the other guys ran forward and procedded to chain me to the bed.

When they finished chaining me one of them got out a knife and I started sobbing.

"Please don't please I don't what to die!"

But it did not help.

"Oh don't worry honey the first step to your punishment will be done in no time."

Then he started by cutting me on my arm and leg but even though I was screaming my head off he would not stop.

Then a wave of darkness started to swoop down but then as I was desending into the darkness the guy shook me awake.

"Oh no you don't, you did not come three hours to pass out on the pain and plus we are almost done, then you can bandage your cuts and go to bed."he said then started cutting

"What about dinner?" I asked

" You don't get food here olny water."

He then finished his last cut then unchained me.

He picked me up and started to walk out into the darkness.

I looked back at the tiny cot, it was blood stained.

When we got back into the house he put me on my cot and went over to his bed while the maids came in to clean my wounds.

When one of the maids was handing me so pills to ease pain the man started talking.

" Roberta no pain relievers she is being punished she deserves all the pain she gets."

I stared at him for a long time.

"Why are our beds in the same room?" I asked

"Beacause Firefang doesn't want you escaping again but from the look of your cuts it would be a miricle if you get up in the morning."

When the maids went away the man turned off the lights and went to I did too for I was very tired.

Sorry this chapter had a lot of violence but I wanted Firefang's warning not to be forgotten and if Lilly knew what was in stalk for her next time she trys to escape she might take precaustion or remeber what happens if you disobey Firefang.
