When the Clock Strikes Midnight

1:20 p.m

A/N: Sorry guys, I was on a trip so I couldn't write as often. But here is a new part! Hopefully you like it! But also, it does have some torture in it. So if you don't want to read that, skip to the next chapter.

I wake up, my head pounding. I look around in confusion, trying to figure out where I am at. It looks like a basement. The walls are made out of cement, and there are cobwebs everywhere. I try to move but find out that I can't. I look down and see that I am lying down on a bed, and my arms and legs are chained to the bed railing. I look around frantically, trying to find Jack. I finally look in a dark corner and see him. He is tied to a chair, and his head is still hanging down. I start hyperventilating, trying to see if he is still breathing.

"Jack? Jack! Jack, are you ok?" I see him stir but he doesn't wake up. I sigh, relief washing over me. Suddenly I hear a door open. I look towards the source of the sound, craning my neck to try and see into the darkness. I suddenly make out a figure in the dark. The person steps into the light and I see that it is Micheal.

"Well, good morning Peach. How are you today?" I start struggling against my restraints, ignoring how the metal digs into my wrists. He chuckles and sits on the edge of the bed. He puts his hand on my thigh and I tense, no longer fighting. He chuckles again and removes his hand, eyes closed.

"You know, I have you just where I want you. I could do anything to you right now. But first, I need that Jack kid to wake up." Micheal gets off of the bed and walks towards Jack. I start fighting again, hoping that Micheal will turn back to me and not hurt Jack. He grabs the top of the chair Jack is on and starts dragging it closer to me. Jack is still unconscious, his breathing deep and steady. Micheal sighs, walking back towards the stairs to get something. As soon as I hear the door close I start trying to wake Jack up.

"Jack! Jack, you need to wake up! You need to wake up before he hurts you!" Suddenly Jack stirs again, his eyes opening slowly. I cry out, tears springing to my eyes. Jack's eyes open all the way and they land on me. He gaps, his eyes looking around the room.

"Jack. Jack, you need to look at me. Right now." Jack turns his attention to me, his breathing starting to become uneasy.

"Micheal is going to come back in a couple of seconds. He is going to hurt me, and you are gonna have to watch. But please don't try to stop him. I don't want you to get hurt." Jack's eyes water and a tear slides down his face. Suddenly I hear the door open again and I turn towards it. I see Micheal walk down the stairs with a voltage charger with tongs on it. I realize that he is going to use that to electrocute me. I take deep breaths, trying to stay calm. He looks over at Jack, chuckling.

"Well, I'm glad to see that you are awake. So, it is time for me to explain the rules. I am going to start hurting Peach. And Jack, you are going to have to watch. As soon as Peach says stop then it will be your turn. Understand?" I nod, tears starting to slide down my face. Micheal chuckles, walking over to me. I take a deep breath, trying to prepare myself for what is going to happen.

"Am I allowed to scream? Or will that make the punishment go to Jack?" Micheal looks like he is considering, a smile spreading over his face.

"Yes. You can scream. Just don't say stop. Or else it's his turn." He sets down the voltage charger, grabbing the tongs. He turns it on and starts bringing the tongs towards me. I close my eyes, trying to continue taking deep breaths. Suddenly I feel the tongs press down on my ribs and I scream out in pain, writhing around and trying to get the tongs off of me. I'm about to scream to stop but I remember that I have to do this so that Jack won't have to. So I just continue screaming, tears streaming down my face. Suddenly I don't feel the pain anymore. I open my eyes and see that Micheal has pulled away, a smile on his face.
