Count on Me

Chapter 35

*Warning violent content*

I choked as water hit my face, I made the mistake of trying to breathe as the water ran down my face, causing me to choke again, and cough ferociously, trying to rid my lungs of the water.

My eyes felt heavy as I tried to open them, I winced as the bright light flooded my vision. Squinting I looked arount the room, I made out the silouette of a rather large man a few feet away from me, identifying it imediately as Scorpion, he slowly came into vision as my eyes adjusted to the light.

I tried to move, this guy seriously deserved a punch in the face, but a winced as an excruciating pain shot up my arms, and that was when I relised my hands were tied up above my head, hoisting me a feet above the ground.

"Well, well, well seems like our little troublemakes has woken up "came his rusian accent.

A muffled voice came from the side of the room, and I looked up to see Laurel, Calan and Jay, tied up in the dark corner of the room, Laurel had tears streaming down her face and Calan tried to teleport away, but he stayed where he was, the light looking as if it bent around him every time he tried to teleport. I tried to free myself, but my bonds restrained me, and the movement causing another shot of pain to shoot up my arm.

"Don't even try pretty boy, the serum we gave you, keeps you right where we want you, I do believe you are familiar with it. " Scorpion said, with an amused smirk.

"Now as for you my dear ", he said grabbing my face "you have caused me alot of problems, and I don't like problems. "

I pulled my face away and bit his finger, since my mouth was the only defence mechanism I had at the moment, but it earned me a hard slap accross the face.
Laurel let out a muffled scream through her gag, and Calan, tried even harder to escape his bounds and Jay looked terrified, and confused since he just regained conciousness.

"And we have a way of dealing with our problems " he said, pulling out a knife and laying it against my arm piercing my flesh with the tip, I let out a scream, as he made a cut all along my arm.

But once the cut was made I already started feeling my skin knit itself back together. The pain and the shot of adrenaline left me breathless. I felt the blood that escaped the cut run down my arm, and seep into the black material, of my dress.

I looked up just in time, to see his fist crash down on my face, I heard a sickening crack as my nose broke on impact.

"Stop, take me instead! " Calan screamed, from the corner, his eyes pleading.

"Oh trust me you will all get your turn. " he said and started laughing manically, giving me another blow in my stomache, knocking the wind out of me,leaving me gasping for air.

Before I had time to catch my breath, I saw an all too familiar gleaming black object in his hand, a gun.
He pointed it at my leg, and pulled the trigger, a blinding pain coursed through my body, generating from the place he shot me, a few inches above my knee.
I heard a distant screaming, but I couldn't recognise the source.

My vision cleared, and I smelled gun powder in the air, my face stinged with tears, or it could have been from the fact thet my face was being forced back into proportion, by healing.

I looked up to see the gun pointed at my chest, my heart hammered against my chest with the amount of adrenalin coarsing through my veins. I saw his hand flex as he tightened his finger slightly around the trigger, I stared him in the eys, trying to intimadate him, trying to look brave.

"STOP! Please stop I can't watch this anymore, " came a voice from the oposite corner of the room, and that was the first time I saw that Yuki was there, she almost disappeared standing next to the hideous trolls.
