Ohhh ohhhhhh! Of course the chapter where I decide to have some blood and torture in it is longer than my others.

I swear I'm a weirdo I'm so sorry.

Okay so. Here's like warnings.

There's gonna be some blood, torture, beating, threatens of rape, attempted rate, and just overall Doug getting really hurt and possibly traumatized. (Most likely actually because this is pretty traumatic.)

SO like. Yeah. This ch came a little late but it was a mistake I swear! Actually poor timing.

Also if you don't like this stuff. Just close out and wait for the next chapter! It will be coming next week and HOPEFULLY ON TIME.

So onward to the Chapter!

Chapter 3: Trapped prey

Clouded blue eyes opened to see white and skin could feel cold air brush entering his lungs. As his clouded vision began to clear and soon he found himself lying in the snow. There was an unbearable pain in his head and stomach which caused him to wince as some sort of rope was restraining him from using his arms or legs.. What was causing such pain? The fog in his mind gave away as he began to remember the events that happened only hours ago. Eyes widened as he remembered being taken hostage from the group he had once been a spy for and betrayed. Something like this was to have been expected but even then somehow he was still surprised. ( So soon!? Geez these guys don't waste any time when it comes to revenge! )

"So… What are we going to do with the little shit? Should we just kill him now?"

"No. It would be showing him mercy if we did! Let's draw it out!"

"Make him suffer to the fullest and then kill him? I say we just feed him to the monsters! That can be a slow and painful death!"

Doug soon found his heart racing as his kidnappers came into his sight. They were…! They were seriously discussing how to kill him right in front of him?! He felt fear quickly taking a hold of him as his breathing quickened. The idea of dying slow would frighten anyone but it absolutely terrified Doug. He knew these people were ruthless when it came to punishing traitors or anyone that was an "inconvenience" to them. So he was expecting them to make his last moments as painful as possible. He couldn't help but close his eyes and wince thinking about it.

"Look who's up!" One of the men in armor stated. Doug couldn't see their face but he knew they were smirking. The other two in armor also turned to look at the redhead. ( Damn! Now they're going to beat the shit outta me! ) He thought to himself as one approached him and immediately grabbed onto his hair and pulled on it to force him to look at them. He couldn't help but tremble slightly. He knew he was in a grave situation and had no idea if anyone was coming or not.

The Sechs Territory was such a long ways away and he didn't think he left a hint of where he was going! Who knows when they'll notice he's gone or how long it will take for them to get here? He might already have…

Mind lost all thought as he was being pulled up. Two men were holding him up as the other looked him over. Doug's heart pounded in his chest as the man drew out a dagger and slowly approached him. The blade was brought up to his left cheek and soon, a red somewhat diagonal line that oozed a bit of blood was made on his cheek as the dwarf winced slightly. It seemed it had been quickly and lightly sliced the skin.

Instead of a look of fear, a look of absolute hatred was on his face as he watched the captor that was now bringing harm upon him. He couldn't help but now be angry now. He was probably going to DIE and knew it wasn't going to be pretty. The blade was then brought to his chest… Instead of a light and swift slice, a slightly deeper diagonal cut was made on his body. He cried out in pain for only a moment before a hand covered his mouth. Eyes were clenched shut as he didn't even want to see where the knife would pierce next. He was just expecting the pain and soon he could feel something stabbing into his right leg. He managed to let out a cry but sadly it was muffled by the hand covering his mouth. Eyes were opened wide again as he realized that was the first of probably many stabs.

And he was not wrong. His left leg got the same treatment. A pathetic whimper escaped him as numerous chuckling came from those that were physically torturing him. When the round of chuckles ended, his eyes widened again as something stabbed his left side. It may not have completely stabbed anything but it hurt and caused him to have a muffled cry. He hadn't even noticed the tears falling down his cheeks. ( Please let this end soon! ) Knowing his captors, Doug doubted that would be happening anytime soon as blood oozed from the wounds and stained his clothing.

It seemed it would only get worse as he felt something slam into his face. A fist?! They were punching him now?! Wasn't the stabbing enough?! He was already going to probably bleed to death if they just left him there! But no… They had to beat him up. A fist made contact with his face six times before hitting his stomach three times. By this time his cheeks were bruised and the skin around and covering his eye was nearly back. His body was aching with pain as he was now dropped to the floor.

"Look at this pathetic shit! Haha!"

"Looks like a beaten rag doll instead of a person!"

"Have fun dying traitor!"

"Hey…" Doug's sudden response caught the men in armor off guard as he slowly turned his head so he could look back at them. A faint smirk was on his face. "Well at least I don't… Have to hear your annoying voices… Anymore… And you guys… Still los-...!" He knew he shouldn't have opened his mouth but could not help it. He was going to die anyways! But now he could feel them kicking him. He winced every time a steel boot hit him. When they stopped after a few kicks… His body was already aching and he wished he would pass out already! Tears continued to escape him as he just begged to lose consciousness. For now he was forced to stare at his own blood in the snow.

"You arrogant shit!"

"How dare you say that!"

"We'll make your last moments of consciousness a living hell! Guys hold him up!" The one with the knife ordered as the other two held Doug so he was sitting up. His somewhat blurred vision saw the knife coming up to him. (Is he just going to keep stabbing me?!) He wondered before realizing that the cloth that protected his chest was being cut into rather than his flesh. His right eye opened wide as he became suddenly frightful again.

"Might as well take your dignity from you too!"

"Let's do it in more ways than one!"

His heart nearly stopped. We're they going to r-…?! He suddenly cried out for help (as he was no longer having his mouth covered) in hopes that someone would hear him. It was his last resort and final desperate move before he was now held down and had his mouth covered. The blade had already ripped through his shirt as tears escaped him and he bit his lip to the point it was bleeding. He could feel those eyes staring at him and the chuckles they made. He felt disgusted and horrified as they went to loosen his pants. Eyes were clenched shut as he couldn't stand to see this.

However the action never happened. Something else happened. He waited and waited for him to be completely exposed but it seemed this moment was frozen in time. He wondered what could have happened until after a few moments or so… He heard voice. Everything seemed to go by so fast as he soon heard swords clash again and again for what seemed to be like forever. The collapsing thuds of three people and the moment of silence told him it was over. A clouded blue eye opened to see familiar faces with horrified expressions looking at him.

"Frey… D-Dylas… V...Vishnal?" After saying those names… Eyes opened and closed for a few seconds before finally closing and staying closed. He had finally lost consciousness.

Eee. Just imaging something like this gives me the shivers! The Sech Empire in my eyes were people I think were brutal as hell. I mean. The idea of war didn't even frighten most and a lot of them were ready to give up human bodies so they could become monsters! *shivers*

Next chapter will come from a third person point of view for Dylas, Frey, and Vishnal. (So yeah maybe more on that battle?)

Also I'm still wondering if I should include a pairing in this. So far I think one person recommended (Outside of ) For me to do DylasxDoug or FreyxDoug. (She even recommended I do a bit of ArthurxFrey) but before I make a decision.

I want my viewers to give me their opinions!

Also thanks for reading!

See you next chapter!
