---- Present Day POV ----
You felt yourself being shaken.
"Wake up this instant!"
You eventually stirred, peering up into aqua, smokey eyes. Sitting there limply, wrists tied to the wooden, damp pole, you waited for what was to happen next. The gloved man with an eyepatch held a glass of transparent liquid in his gloved hand, and smirked at you.
"It has been two days so far, yet you haven't eaten or drank a sip of water. I must confess, your dedication is one of impressive strength," he formally stated. You said nothing and glared back, although your dry mouth cried the opposite. The blonde, blue-eyed man crouched to your level, maintaining strong eye-contact. His pale, daunting face was so close to yours that you could feel his warm, sweetly scented breath on your lips. Gazing intently into your blood-smeared eyes, he whispered:
"Tell me where he is. For the last time."
Despite the slight fear of what was to come, you stared back at the mysterious man.
"Never. So give up."
WHACK! Your head exploded with pain as you felt the impact of cold metal smashing against the side of your head. Your dry mouth now experienced the metallic, ruthless taste of blood once again, mixed with your pure, salty tears. In the background, you could faintly hear the man pouring the liquid onto the ground and strolling away.
"What a shame. It appears that I will have to bring him myself to you. Until we meet again, Y/N."
Once you were sure that he had left the vicinity, you cried and screamed in pain. This man had hurt you many, many times over the past two days, but you revealed nothing to him. If it came to it, you would die for the one you loved so dearly. After all, he had given you a new lease of life...
