Revolution

Ch.19

I woke up with a start and struggled out of the bed quickly. My breath caught in my throat as I saw Alex laying in the bed that we were sharing, Elena and Iris were safe in the other. I opened the door quietly and slipped out.

I crept around in the dark trying not to stub my toe on anything but I managed to ram my pinky into the wall. I hopped around cursing under my breath until I settled on the couch. I grabbed a pillow and closed my eyes easily going to sleep.

Everything was hazy as I looked around disoriented. I lifted my head and heard the rattling of chains above my head. When I looked up I saw my hands chained to the ceiling. I kept quiet and twisted around trying to loosen the hold on the cuffs.

The door swung open and I stopped moving immediately. I heard the familiar tapping and the electricity buzzing. “Anastasia will you give in?" Djokovic taunted as he spun me around to face him.

I said nothing and got a hard punch in the face. When I tasted the metallic blood in my mouth I laughed bitterly. “Fuck you!" I screamed spitting blood into his face. His face held surprise as no one had ever been bold enough to do this to him.

Surprise turned into fury and I punched and kicked in the stomach. I felt the searing pain nearly splitting my insides but all I could do was laugh hysterically.

I watched in amusement when he nodded to the guard and he unchained me. I dropped to the ground in a heap and laid there motionless. I completely shut off as each guard took their turn with me beating me until I grew numb in my body.

“Now will you give in Anastasia?" Djokovic asked bending down and gripping my swollen face to face his. I smiled and chuckled even though I could feel the bile rising in my throat. I lurched forward and threw up on the dirty grime caked floor.

He jumped back and yelled in outrage. I laid back not caring that I was covered in my own vomit. I closed my eyes and passed out there.

A blast of ice cold water shocked me awake and I was sputtering trying to breathe. The water turned off and I opened my eyes seeing that I was chained back where I was before. But now I was soaking wet and shivering violently.

“You will give in Anastasia." Djokovic stated eyeing me dangerously. I threw my head back and laughed loudly. When I looked at him though I was dead serious. “No matter how much you try I will always beat you in these little games. You will never break me." I said darkly.

“We will see."

Electric shocks rolled through my body making me scream in agony. We had been going at this for so long I had lost track of time. I gritted my teeth and held back another wail trying to be strong. The guard glared at me and continued with his torture until I passed out again.

Water washed over my head and I jerked awake again. This time I was sitting tied up to a chair. Djokovic was sitting in his own chair in front of me looking bored. I glared at him from underneath my curtain of soaking hair.

He sighed dramatically. “How long will you keep this up?" he asked me leaning forward so he could see my eyes.

I snorted tiredly, “Why? Have you some where to be?" I asked sarcastically. He frowned at me but didn't say anything.

My dream ended when I felt someone shaking my arm. I jerked awake and grabbed whoever it was tightly. But the person was stronger and wrapped me in their arms to prevent me from moving.

“Raven... Raven it's me Razimir. Open your eyes." He soothed. I tentatively opened one eye and stopped struggling. I relaxed and laid back in his arms. I fell asleep to him stroking my hair softly.

When I woke up again a blanket was covering me and the sun was up high in the sky. Luke was watching tv, and Dimitri was using a laptop.

Dimitri looked up when I sighed and turned over so I was facing the back of the couch. I didn't move again and I heard him start to type again. “Have you been able to figure out the poison that still is in her system?" He asked Luke. I detected a bit of tension in his voice which was weird because Dimitri was the happiest person I knew.

“No I haven't." Luke answered back simply. “ The least you could do is try Luke." Dimitri snapped setting the computer down at his side. Luke looked up at his youngest brother. “I am trying, I don't know every thing Dimitri so calm down and go take a walk." Luke snaps back.

I hear Dimitri huff and he walks off a few seconds later I hear a door slam. I'm no longer able to stay awake as Luke mumbles something I don't catch.
