MAJOR TW; there is a lot of blood and violence in this chapter.

"Let the punishment start...now." As soon as the words were spoken, I felt the first fist hit my right cheek, sending my face to the opposite side, where I was met with an immediate uppercut to the jaw. I squeezed my eyes, swallowing down the pain, I wasn't gonna let them think I was hurting. While I recovered, a strong elbow was forced into my stomach, forcing me to cough and splutter a little. My eyes were squeezing tighter then ever. It was really starting to hurt. I opened my eyes to see a jagged rock hurling towards my head.

It collided with such force that I heard my skull crack and felt the hot sticky blood begin to ooze from my hair. "You bastard!" I screamed at the boy who threw it. A particularly evil boy, we had never really gotten along. I glanced at Pan's ticking clock. 40 minutes to go. Please say it goes quickly. I stood tall, only allowing small winces and groans to escape as the pain grew stronger and I grew weaker.

I looked again 30 minutes left. I was hanging on for consciousness, refusing to give in and scream out every bit of pain I felt. Rocks had been thrown, bones had been crushed and everything was aching and hurting so badly. "Well well, what do we have here?" Oh fuck me dead. Anyone but him. Hamish. The most cruel and violent lost boy of them all. He was slowly waving a sharp blade in front of my eyes, as if he were trying to tempt me with it.

He slowly swayed it from side to side, watching as my eyes followed the shining blade. Then suddenly it was shot under my rib cage, opening my scar up from when my Dad had done the same. I couldn't help myself anymore. I screamed in pain, piercing my own ears from the noise.

I drowned out and had to stop for breath, hearing Hamish's laugh boom in my ears as I groaned aggressively and gritted my teeth. He looked down at the damage he had done and decided...it wasn't enough. He began to twist the knife slowly. Sending the worst pain through my body. My brain gave up, making my lungs burst in a higher and more desperate scream of agony. It was worse then death. I would have thanked him for ending me right then and there. My screams became louder as he kept on twisting, so slowly to make sure it lasted as long as possible.

*Pan's pov*

Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I never usually have an issue with this!

I looked at the clock 30 minutes. I couldn't handle her screaming like this for that long. I needed it to end. I needed her to be ok. But I couldn't just stop Hamish, then Felix would know I couldn't handle it. He'd see I was weak. I had to think of something. Her screams were ringing in my ears and all I could hear was: this is your fault, you did this to her. You made her suffer like this. ENOUGH! I was losing my own mind. I glanced over to Felix, his stupid smile growing wider as he focused purely on Bella's cries of pain. While he wasn't looking I waved my hand secretively.

*Bella's pov*

My body seared with every kind of pain imaginable. I wanted it to end so badly. I opened my eyes to look at how much longer I had to last. When Pan caught my eye. He looked in pain. Not like mine, but he looked disturbed and worried. I saw him glance quickly towards Felix, then back to me as I let out another scream, Hamish still twisting the knife inside my stomach. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Pan's hand twitch slightly. What is he doing?

My scream ended, leaving me panting for breathe. As Hamish laughed at me all I could think of was how much I hated him, I wanted to kill this little bastard. I felt my body go numb and the pain wash away. It's just the anger, when he goes for round three it'll hurt more, prepare. I took a deep breathe, as he plunged the knife into the same place, tearing the scar even bigger.
