The Way Through The Shadows

Chapter 33

Aria Galanis

A few hours earlier

"What are you going to do after?"

"If we succeed, we will go after everyone who made my life hell."

"And after that?"

"We will rule the fucking world. Everyone will be eating from the palm of my hand."

I start hearing men talking around me. I feel my headache. My head is going to explode. I start opening my eyes, but I rapidly close them because of the bright light. I open my eyes and blink rapidly to adjust to the bright light of the room. I try to move, but my arms and legs are restricted.

When my eyes get used to the light of the room and I try to look around but head is also tied up to a very uncomfortable chair.

"Ah, you have woken up. Aria, welcome back."

"Fuck you, Davis."

"Ok, I'm getting tired of waiting. Tie her to the pipeline with her arms up." Davis says.

They untie me. I try to escape, but I feel weak. I feel useful. The three men, after untying me, put me in handcuffs and loop them on the rusty pipeline. They need three men against one woman.

Weak.

I look down and see that my shirt was taken off and I'm in my sports bra. I look to the front and see the same table that they used to use when I was 12 to torture me and try to was everything in my past. I see Davis looking at the supplies and them to me. He smirks. I smirk back.

"You must have gotten bored if you were all these years after me."

"How can I become my best soldier? I will never forget you Aria." He pouts. "We missed you, honey." He takes his hand out to touch my face but before he can touch me, I kick him in the balls.

Ha, loser, you forgot my legs.

"Begin." Davis says to the soldier standing up from the floor. They took out a metal bar and hit me with it several times. I just eat my pain and laugh at them. Then, they proceed to punch and I taste my own blood.

I spit the blood out of my mouth and I'm about to make one of my comments, when they throw a bucket of freezing water, even some of the pieces of ice hit me. I scream at the feeling of the cold water getting in touch with my recent wounds they just made. I hear them laugh. I one my eyes and glare at them which only earns three more cold buckets.

The Winter soldier. Hehe

Omg, I'm a huge geek.

Then, they put around me something I don't know what it is, but I have a feeling that I'm about to find out soon enough. They connect some cables to a machine and turn it on. I felt like someone was ripping my skin slowly. They are electrocuting me. I scream in pain, I don't know how long I'm going to be able to take this.

Am I even going to get out of here?

Do they care enough for me, to risk their life for mine?

Shit.

When the shocks stop, my body relaxes from the tension previously caused. And when I think it's over they do it all over again. Now my body has spasms and shakes uncontrollably. When I can control the shaking they take the things off me and start cutting me.

I started laughing,"Aw, come on Davis , you know better than cutting." I continue laughing.

"You must be really brave going against the Albanian mafia. How is the Italians. And your family?" He smirks.
