Cryptic world

Closer to the edge

Cage would've killed himself if he could. He wished he could die right here and now. The drill stopped and it was quiet except for the beating of cages heart and the heavy breathes he was taking. Sweat dripped down his forehead and his knee was in agonising pain.

"Sorry about that, you get used to the pain." The doctor said reaching under the chair and pulling out a metal object. It was a metal bar maybe ten inches long. He lined it up with the drill hole in cages knee and jammed it in. He felt the pieces of bone shift and felt his skin stretch and rip. He kicked wildly but couldn't move.

"I am helping you." The doctor said as he let go of the tube. He looked at cages leg. The tube was fully in the middle of his knee cap. "You took it well." The doctor added.

"I swear ill kill you when I get out." Cage muttered as he pulled on his restraints.

-------------------------------------------

The water was filling fast already right below his knees. It was freezing cold water. He looked around the inside of the tank frantically. He banged on the tank with his cuffs and yelled but no one could hear him. The water filled past his knees. It was cold and numbing his body to the point it almost stung. His legs were shaking and teeth chattering. The air inside the tank became cool. He tried raising his feet but the chains didn't give.

"I have more matters to attend to but pull the dead bodies out of the tank and return them to my head quarters." Briston quickly whispered into an ear of a soldier who was watching and supervising the event. Briston looked forward giving a tug on his perfect white suit. He ran his fingers through his hair and smelt his breath. Perfect he thought. He hurried down the stairs along the crowds edge and boarded a helitank.

Emille watched from the tank of water as the helitank lifted off the ground disappearing into the sky. His thoughts literally froze as the cold waters reached his sides. He looked beside him to Julie who was frantically looking for a way out also, but there wasn't a way out. The water was higher on her then Emille as she was a few inches smaller. The crowd just stared at them with their dead zoned out eyes like none of this mattered. Like none of it was real. The water splashed up to Emilles rib cage and he jumped a little. The water was freezing.

He was more then halfway to his death and he was there beside one of his closest friends who was also dying. Briston was really twisted. Yes he covered it up with a nice voice, a few compliments and a good dinner but deep down the man was an insane animal in a cage that when released caused a great deal of damage and was hard to tame. Then he had an idea. The water needed to pass his head.

-------------------------------------------

Cage yelled and screamed but no one heard him. Not a single person. The doctor pulled the drill bit out of his other leg. He took a wet cloth dabbing away the drops of blood. Like the other knee he jammed the metal tubing through his knee cap. A tear tooled out of cages eye. He sneered in pain and had the sniffles.

"Both legs are now nearly unbreakable. With those metal cylinders diving but holding the two separate parts of your knee cap together it allows for you to jump, kick, or bend further then a normal human knee. Cage didn't care. He didn't care, he didn't want that, he didn't want any of this at all.

"Now your stomach." The doctor happily cheered. An alert signal went off in cages head. Stomach! The knees hurt enough that he might die if the doctor even touches his stomach.

"You touch me i swear ill kill you." Cage threatened. The doctor just laughed in reply.

"Have fun trying." He taunted cage placing the drill down and picking up a long knife. Cage closed his eyes preparing for the unimaginable pain. He felt the cold tip of the knife touch his chest then he felt his skin being pressed down. He felt a pop then an immense stinging feeling. He screamed again. The knife cut through the skin and blood followed. Cage pulled on the restraints, kicked at the restraints, even shook his chest and neck which made the knife go side to side and up and down causing more pain.

"Stop!!" Cage yelled in agony.

-------------------------------------------

The water flowed up past his elbows. Emille was shaking and chattering uncontrollably. The cold might've killed him before the water even reached his head he thought to himself. The water was nearly at Julie's shoulders and she had basically given up escaping and just stood there soaking up water accepting the fact this was it and maybe it was.
