The quiet mind

scream for mercy!

3p Pov

If you could forget ever hearing the terrible screams that traveled through the castle, you might think it was a normal thing to hear screams from coven scouts turning on each other but this was a different type of scream this was a raw scream, one that came from the heart, one that only came from the cries of never endless pain, the one only a few know how true emotion was.

In the basement was a very broken boy with bruises and cuts, who looked so bad that you would think he was dead if not for the raspy breathing and whimpering.  he tried to stand but kept Faling, the rope on his wrist already bleeding making him more weaker than he should be, how did this happen?  what caused all this? He did it.

after I woke up Belos was their looking more terrifying than he was standing over me with that crazy look in his eye, the look he gave me when I did something bad, the look that was death itself.  I know that look from experience from saying something or not following his orders.

*FLASHBACK*

I just turned 6 my birthday was today, I was so happy I went to my uncle's room without knocking and BAM I was hit with something, why does my cheek hurt, why is it wet, I put my hand up to my cheek to see red " HUNTER WHY ARE YOU HERE" that was the first beating I got, it was also my last birthday I ever celebrated.

my cheek never healed it turned into a scar and now I hate my face, I can't even look in the mirror without thinking about that day, I became Golden Gard I think I'm 8 but I don't remember. I got my first mission in an hour I don't know what it's about, but I'm excited I can finally prove myself to my uncle.

 I don't want to be here anymore I had to kill people I don't want to do that, I can't do that again, I took lives, I'm not a witch anymore I'm a murder, I fell this emotion deep down, but I don't know what it is I can't get rid of it. I want to cry but I want to be happy, some days it feels like a lifetime has passed, I feel like I'm under water and I can't breathe I want to die but I don't know how. 

I have another problem with me I keep hearing this voice in my head, I can't tell anyone about it they will think I crazy. he did it again he hit my I can't feel my body he beat the shit out of me, I can't keep up with his 'meetings' anymore my body is always sore, and it hurts to move.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

My throat hurt, it was hard to talk, he left me alone with a little bit of food and water, but I couldn't eat it hurt to think, my head was bleeding not too long ago but I'm too tired to check if it still is. I want to sleep but I know belos will come back and give me another punishment for being lazy. I hope Eda is doing ok I hope Raine saved her I hope they save me too, but it will never happen. 

20 minutes later 

I can't stay awake any longer it hurts to blink, I feel like time is going by so slowly and I don't know how to stop it.                                                                                                                                                      'You should really stop being dramatic and get up, you hardly done anything you're so weak' "I'm not weak I'm tired" 'maybe you should try harder and be the thing belos wants'

Eda's Pov

What happened were am I, I look around to see me in a cage what on titan is going on.   Wasn't I with hunter at the night market? what did we get caught- no I flew away with him right? "Well, I'm glad you woke up Eda the owl lady so glad you can join us" "what-" " No don't talk we just want to make sure you're ok for your trip!" "Are you ready to get a signal?"(I think that's how you spell it, the thingies on their wrists) "Bring her up" 'was that the emperor? Why is this happening? I need to find the kid and get out of here.'   

After they bring her to the throne room

Where am I now? is that the- "Edalyn?"  "Lily?" "Lilith if you could get the signal sorter" "yes emperor" I watched Lily grab the sorter and give it to the emperor just as he took my hand a coven scout came running in and whispered, "He passed out" who's he? "I'll be right back Lilith watch her." the emperor quickly left the room with the coven scout. "Eda what are you doing here?" "Lily, you need to help me I need out; I don't know how I got here but you need to help me" after some debating Lilith got me out of the cage and we started to walk away when I realized I need my palisman and hunter" "Lily I need owlbird and the kid-" "you have a kid" "what no."  we looked around for a little while until we heard screaming coming from down the hall, 'Lily what down their" "It's the basement but why would anyone be down their" we walk down the hall to the door when we hear. "See what happens when you don't listen, maybe you should start to do as your told unless you want another punishment" what in titans name is going on down there, Lily grabbed my arm and took me into a different door, 'Lily-" "why was the emperor doing down there, he sounds like Hes's torturing someone" "I know who it is"  a random voice comes out "who" both me and Lilith say "Idk but he looks like a kid"  "Steve how do you know that?" Lilith said slowly. "I saw him when he arrived, I was the one who put him in their" Steve said sadly.  

after a couple of minutes, we heard a medal door close, and Steve peeked out and saw the emperor walking down the hall to were me and Lilith were originally.  we sneak out of the room into the basement, we all gasp, I was not expecting to see hunter laying on the floor barely alive tied up. i rush over to make sure he's alive and carefully take off the rope around his wrist. "Is he alive" Steve and Lilith both of them say. "Yea but he's badly injured." I carefully pick him up and he hisses in pain "hey kid you awake" he slowly nods his head, "its ok now I got you."  "E-Eda I-It hurts" he whispers, "I know kid we are getting you out" "Eda come on we got to g-" Lilith was saying something until this loud alarm went off.
