⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Back to that despair, that threat, that everything. There will be hope coming eventually, except it would take a little longer. While in the meantime, getting hurt physically is the only emotional feeling that could be felt, counting fear and patience.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀In that scary room, full with wires and magic machines with the tubes draining that power. Jeraline was still stuck, so lonely, still weeping her cramped fervour. It had already been two hours, a young spirit getting tortured at the whole round in a room. Jeraline's face showed terrible paleness, and the worst thing was, the very least of Jeraline's magic was still left draining in her body.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Jeraline identified every speck in the room, while trying her best to survive in the sufferings she was facing. Her head moved in a circular direction, stopping when she spotted the man, Landis once again. She made a guttural sound of hostility in her throat, pressing her teeth together.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Landis pressed himself together. "You did take a nap, Jeraline. Just for an hour." He didn't show an enjoyed expression this time, instead, he showed a serious face, with no laughter inside him.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The young blue head felt desperate, pleading as much as she can for this to be over. She prayed with her eyes closed, whispering her prayers loudly, her begs.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Your magic is almost gone. I have to admit, I am very excited." Landis said as he interrupted her implores, with a laugh this time, although it wasn't convincing that he was excited.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Jeraline cramped her eyebrows. "You will have your own chance one time, your own chance to feel this very pain!" she yelled, with her saliva spitting out from her vexation.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Landis raised an eyebrow, following a smirk that led his lips. "Are you sure? I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's very unlikely."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Jeraline panted, trembling with fear, waiting what he'll plan next. While it took time, she watched him stop, looking at the ground to see a deadly kissing bug, crawling around some place. Disgustedly, Landis used his magic to pick that dangerous insect off the road, leaving a glance and a small smirk on his face.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Why don't we let this cute bug slid off to help with the affliction?" Landis asked, waiting for a response. He tilted his head, making his eyes that were uneven. Jeraline laid her eyes on the bug the moment she saw it, irresistibly moving her head from side to side numerous times. She made a quick, nervous move, showing that she doesn't want to get hurt any longer.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Yamete! Yamete!" she yelled, fear stepping in inside her. "I don't want this anymore!"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Landis didn't pay a single attention to her pleads, only giving in more cruelty. He walked up to the closest to her, getting his magic ready to transport the bug in her ear. He just noticed something, the machine saying only five percent of magic power is left within Jeraline. Landis's lips began to curve, in a most terrifying way.
