Pic of King

I slid the piece of metal from a broken chain link across the wall, adding a fourth tally mark. 

Four days of being stuck in here.

Four days of slowly loosing my mind.

After King left, they dragged Bolton's body away and locked me up after doubling my dose of wolfs bane. I asked Marcus what they were doing to Bolton's body.

"Probably going to burn it...or leave it for the wolves to eat. I honestly don't know or care," Was his answer and I felt the rage in my burning hot. I could not stand the man, and when I got out of here, I was killing him first.

And I am getting out of here. 

I had one more plan on how to escape. The guards go for their break two minutes after my second dose of wolfs bane. So after they left, I was going to make a run for it. Wasn't the greatest plan in the history of plans, but it was all I could come up with with the limited amount of supplies I had.

No transforming.

No communicating with Bryce or anyone.

No weapons.

It was just me, as a human, against countless werewolves.

And I was not looking forward to fighting them.

I heard the door unlock and watched as the man who brought my medicine, Murphy, walk inside. He was an older guy, clearly not interested in hurting me. He just did his job and left at that, so I never fought against him. "One shot of yummy juice," He said sarcastically as he unlocked the cage door and walked inside. I lay back against the wall, letting him inject me, but then I noticed the second syringe and I narrowed my eyes. Murphy followed my gaze and then snorted.

"Oh yeah. I was ordered to give you some Bardanium," He answered nonchalantly and my breath hitched.

"Wh-what exactly is Bardanium?" I asked cautiously. Murphy gave my a level stare as he picked up the syringe and I felt the familiar pinch of the needle sliding in my skin. 

"It makes whatever pain you feel ten times worse," Is all he said before leaving. I watched as he locked the cage again, before walking out of the door. Was this a new drug they created? I wouldn't put it past them. They turned wolfs bane into a liquid, I'm sure they could make a whole new drug that was just as detrimental, if not more, than wolfs bane.

The only question I had was why they just gave it to me.

Ha, stupid question. I know exactly why.

Torture.

As if on cue, the door opened up again, and in walked Marcus and...King? All right, something was going on and I wasn't feeling confident about how I could take it. I silently watched as a tabled was rolled in, along with another table that had some...suspicious items on it.

"Can we really not go one day without some form of torture?" I asked, my mouth and attitude getting the better of me. Marcus rolled his eyes at my question, but King was the one to answer.

"Its no fun breaking you in when you've had time to rest." He answered monotonously before a sly smirk found it's why to his lips. "Besides, today's going to be fun."

I could practically taste the malicious he put into the last word. Joy. 

With a flick of his wrist, the men moved to unlock the cage. I was hauled up to my feet and jerked not to kindly, to the table. One of the men pushed me down and I whacked my head on the metal hard. Growling at him, I brought my leg up and kicked him in the head, but that only earned me a punch in the face.
