TW (marked with a "*" before and after)
She was Alexandrya Miadottir, Goddess of truth and promises, Lady of water and the sea, and she would not let them break her.
3rd Person POV
As footsteps drew closer to their cell, Alexandrya started to shake. She knew that she would have to face the consequences of her attempted escape yesterday. She kept repeating the same phrase over and over in her head They will not break you. You do not yield. Over and over again.
"Good morning sweetheart." His voice dripped with fake sweetness, it was sickening. Alexandrya froze. She had been expecting Doctor, not the guard from last night. Bucky noticed this and quickly understood who he was.
"Back off." He took on the cold demeanor of who they expected him to be.
"Relax, soldier. I'm not here for her, yet." He smirked at that last part.
"Back off. She's mine." Bucky added that last part in hopes of dissuading the man. It worked, he paled and said,
"I'm only here to take you for reconditioning. Someone else is coming to pick Shadow up." He started to walk off and Bucky quickly turned to Alexandrya and said,
"Don't worry doll, I'm not gonna let them hurt you again," Then he followed the guard. Alexandrya only nodded, too startled to speak. They will not break you. You do not yield. Over and over in her head. Then she heard Doctor's loathsome voice as he walked to her cell and unlocked the door.
"Rise and shine, Shadow. It's time for the day!" He walked in and attached a chain to her collar. Alexandrya hung her head and walked out, following him as he pulled her along. She expected him to take her to the room she despised, the room they used to punish her after she was bad, but instead, she was lead to a new room. All that was in this room was a large metal chair-machine thing in the center and a smaller chair in the corner.
Doctor lead Alexandrya to the smaller chair and, after she sat down, attached the chain to the wall and fastened cuffs around her arms and legs and then left her there, alone. Alexandrya couldn't move, so she sat quietly facing the machine in the center of the room, waiting and wondering why they hadn't hurt her yet. They will not break you. You do not yield.
Soon the doors opened again and Alexandrya started to prepare herself for her punishment. She lowered her head and willed her mind to leave her and focus on something happy instead, but when she heard shouting, she looked up. Her eyes widened at what she saw. Two guards were leading Bucky into the room to the machine in the center. Doctor followed them into the room accompanied by a man Alexandrya had never seen before. Doctor walked over to her and said,
*TW* "This is the first part of your punishment. I saw how close you two seemed to be in your cell yesterday. So you get to watch as the man you knew becomes our machine." He grinned and walked out of the room. The new person hooked Bucky up to the machine and turned it on. Alexandrya watched helplessly as electricity ran through her friend. She tried to access her magic but felt a zap herself. She cried and screamed for them to stop, but that only resulted in a guard putting a gag in her mouth. She couldn't do anything. The new man was saying weird words and Bucky was screaming. Alexandrya couldn't stop the tears.
After what seemed like hours of this, they finally stopped. Bucky slumped to the floor exhausted and in pain. Alexandrya watched two guards pick him up and drag him out of the room. Doctor came over to her and undid the cuffs and took her to the room she feared. He said nothing the entire time. Once they got there, he simply said
"You know what to do." Alexandrya walked over the wall and allowed him to cuff her hands together and hook them on the wall. Whatever they did to her, she couldn't feel. Her mind was filled with Bucky's screams. How his eyes looked so hollow and empty by the end. Not too long after, she realized she was back in her cell. Her back ached, but she sat up and looked around. Bucky sat on the side farthest from her, looking away from her. *End TW*
