The Adventures of Blackwing 2: Saving Our Time

Chapter 13: Hell Bound

I woke up in a pitch black room, chained to a wall. I suddenly screamed in pain and agony. Not a big surprise, but I still had all of my injuries from before. I carefully tried to analyze where I was hurt.

My shoulder and my hand hurt like absolute HELL, so I figured they were broken. I had dozens of bruises and cuts, all from the glass and being thrown around a lot. My head felt SO bad, so I figured I had a slight concussion.

I did have my gunshot wounds, but they were tended to so I wouldn't die from them, but they were still there.

My head was pounding and all of my injuries made it ten times worse. I suddenly saw a bright light turn on in front of me. I looked down at myself to see my shirt and jeans were all torn up, my white shirt now purple, more intect than my jeans, which could now be considered shorts.

I saw Eva walk up to me. She had a whip in her hand.

"Aww, my toy doesn't want to play?" She said in that evil tone.

"Fuck off Eva! If I weren't tied up, I could take you on easily!" I said, struggling to move.

I felt Eva's whip come in contact with my neck, reopening the bullet wound.

"Shut up you worthless human being!" She said as she continued to hit me with her whip.

After what seemed like an eternity, she was done and walked out, turning the light off.

There were tears falling down my face. I looked up and screamed.

"Is anyone out there?! Please help me!"

I could feel my heart racing and my breathing was starting to pick up.

Someone...help me...

Zueki?

My eyes widened. Someone was talking to me!

Yes! Yes, it's me!

Good. It is Astral.

Astral? Oh no! Are you okay?!

It appears that I am in a dark room. I am able to move around freely, but there is no one here.

Astral...I'm sorry. I caused this!

Zueki, you did everything you could. You kept Yuma safe.

A-Astral...please help me...

What is wrong?

E-Eva came in here and started hurting me. I-I'm scared and I don't know what to do...

Yuma told me about your panic attack earlier. Is it possible that this is another one?

I-I think so... I'm not sure...

Well, just remember that it will be okay Zueki. Stay strong for everyone. If Eva sees that you are scared, she will try to get information from-

Suddenly, our connection was cut off. They must be doing something to Astral! I panicked.

I kept on fighting to try and get out of the chains, but it was useless. I tried to contact Shark, but for some reason, I couldn't. I was too weak to transform into my Barian form right now too. I was stuck. I was captured.

-2 weeks later-

I don't know what's real, and what's not. I keep telling myself that this is a bad dream. That I'll wake up. That I'll be with Shark and Yuma again. But it's all a lie.

I'm starting to think this is hell. That I'll never get out of here. I'll die by the hands of Eva.

Everyday, someone would come in and give me some food and water. It was very little and it tasted awful, but hey, better than being starved. I also ate it because I knew I had to get my strength up again. I knew that I had to keep staying strong for Shark and Yuma.
