Lock Jack

"That's enough!"

"Huh...pant...hum," Haru looked up, she had lost track of time long ago. Ash and Coal were particularly brutal, every time she had lost consciousness they would shock her back into it. She was sure some of her bones had snapped like a twig. Looking back down, she could just make out a pool of blood underneath her. She felt sticky from the blood and weak from the blood loss and lack of sleep, and the pain? Ha! Her body had gone numb hours ago.

She was having a hard time making out what her captors were saying, all she could hear was a buzzing in her ears, catching only fragments of the conversation going on around her. Her head was spinning and her vision was clouded. She was fighting to stay awake.

"Get...Rejuvenation drug...Find the...Memory...Heal charm...Home."

Haru put her head down knowing there was more pain to come, "ironic that the healing hurts more then the torture," thought Haru. Ash took off into the shadows coming back a few seconds later, holding a sack of golden dust. He handed it to Lock Jack.

Lock Jack walked up to Haru, his ever present smirk plastered on to his face. "This may hurt a bit Haru, but then again you already know that now, don't you?" he stopped right in front of her and dipped his black paw into the sack bringing up a handful of healing charm, and blew the dust in the direction of Haru, as soon as it made contact she screamed.

All her open wounds from the whipping were forcibly shut, her bones repairing themselves, the bumps from her beatings all shrunk. Her eyes snapped open and she let out a shriek that could be heard throughout the dungeon.

"Argh!" this lasted for what seemed like hours before Haru passed out from the pain.

When she was completely healed Lock Jack untied her, and let her fall to the floor. He turned towards Ash and Coal who were unaffected by Harus cry. "Take her to the bathrooms, tell the maids to clean her up," was all he said, walking past the shadow cats and out of the cell.

Lock Jack walked out of the dungeon area into a narrow stairway, lit with torches on the side of the wall. The stairs led to a spacious hallway filled with rooms on both sides. He walked down to the end of the hall and turned left into one of the rooms.

The room he had entered was a library, filled with thousands of books and scrolls. He stopped at a desk and looked up to a picture hung on the wall; it was a picture of a castle located in a lush green field surrounded by trees. His castle, or what it looked like before the gods destroyed his land as a punishment beset on his ancestors for delving in to the dark arts. But what do they know? His family used to rule with an iron fist, they were gods according to his grandfather.

He walked outside onto the balcony, imagining what his kingdom used to look like, what it will once again look like. He shook away the image turning to what was left. Looking out to the barren land his blood started to boil. He should be in castle fit for a god, not this hellish wasteland, he turned sharply re-entering the library.

He sat at the desk recalling the words his father told him, repeating them over in his head. "Long ago it was said that the gates of all darkness shall be open by the Midnight Yellow, and that he shall be born into our family with eyes of yellow and fur blacker then the night. That, is you my son, you were born to fulfil a great destiny. Find the living cat doll for he is the protector of the key." he had spent years looking for the living cat doll, nearly falling into madness, and just when he was about to give up; there he was in all his glory. Baron.

He could still remember the day he found him as if it were yesterday, when in reality in was only six months ago.

Flash Back

He was walking round the Cat Kingdom looking for rare herbs to put in his location potion. He had snuck into the Cat Kingdom's palace, knowing he would only find what he needed there, when he saw her; a brunette that seemed to be stuck between two worlds. His heart was beating wildly, she was blinding him. In all his years of living no one had managed to catch his attention like this, and that's when he decided he had to have her. Unfortunately for him he wasn't the only one who wanted her, he planed to capture her at the banquet. He can still remember how miserable she looked, true beauty.

Then the performers came on, he watched her dance with growing interest. When the music stopped he was ready to make his move. He was just about to jump in when, the mysterious dancer revealed himself to be none other then the creature he had spent most of his life looking for. Baron Humbert von Gikkingen. During the commotion he let himself out, unseen by anyone. He watched the tower explode and witnessed the arrival of the young prince Lune.

Deciding it was too risky; he took his leave. On his way out of the palace however he happened to come across the yellow ball gown the girl had been wearing, taking it with him, he collected his herbs and made his way back to the wastelands where he used the gown and herbs he had collected in a location potion to find this young girl. Once that task was out of the way he started following the young girl around, trying to see how close she was to Baron. It was only on his third week of watching her did he find out her name. Haru. For the next five months he was conducting an ingenious plan to get what he wanted. All he had to do was get rid of her mother, the six month round the world trip was the starting point in his plan. Now he could get the Key and claim Miss Haru for his own.

End flashback

After taking his trip down memory lane, Lock Jack exited the library and made his way to the bathrooms where he found several of his shadow cat servants as well as an unconscious but blood free Haru. He walked up to the table, carefully picking up the sleeping Haru, and made his way to the thrown room but not before grabbing a vial out of the safe. He then preceded to transporting himself and Haru into her house via a magic portal. He laid her down onto her bed and reversed his shrinking spell; within seconds he was standing next to a full grown sleeping Haru. Making sure not to wake her, he then placed his paws on the temple of her forehead closing his eyes; he needed to concentrate in order to put the memory blocks up.

With this task completed he then pulled out the vial from under his robe and emptied its contents into Haru's mouth making sure she swallowed every drop of his rejuvenation drug. Satisfied he took off into the shadows leaving the sleeping Haru all alone.
