Lady Midnight

Chapter 12

Day 5

"Im Afraid Im Going To Die/ Im Afraid/ Im Afraid/ Im Afraid The Voyage Wont Bring Me Home!!" The dude sang quietly. Tapping abeat on his thigh as we limped side by side. "How long have you been down here?" He asked, starring at the next set of stairs. I scampered up sevral steps. "What year is it?" I asked. "2012" he replied, leaping up sevral stairs. They crumbled behind him. "Whats your name?" I asked, hoping and praying he would answer so I wouldnt have to call him Nobody 2.
"Kingston Runekeeper, but you can call me King!!" He smiled, kindly. Kind, he was kind in hell. No one loved, was kind, laughed, or smiled; in hell.
Satin is gonna be angry.
We were making better time traveling light and fast, I always slower than this.

Olivia

I woke up in a cell, I've gained conciousness sevral times. Though I havents actually been awake for mire than a few minutes. My arms were chained above my head. My body slumped against a cold stick wall.

I blinked sevral times. My permanent night vision rune kicked in. I was leaning against a wall, a wall covered in blood. Painfully, I jerked away. "Ohhhh,shes awake!!" A voice said. Light flooded my cell. Seth, stood in a black robe. A mean looking woman behind him.

"Its time for you to become a mundane!!" He cooed. I jerked away from his touch. As he stepped in my cell and touched my cheek. He smirked fisting his hand in my hair. He dragged me to my feet. I screamed in pain. The woman disentangled the chain from the hook. They dragged me down the corridors. Hooking me up to a table. The woman cut away my shirt. My pants. Leaving me in undergarments. Seth held a cruel looking knife.

"I thought you were a guy the first time I saw you, Olive." Seth smirked. Touching my chest. My stomach tightened. I sobbed. The woman tied back my hair. "I wonder how my brother found you attractive, your a board!" He chuckled. "Stop It!!" Jordges voice yelled from somewhere. Hoarse.

"Ohhh... he's awake." The woman cooed. Seth pressed the knife to my wrist. Cutting. He moved it vericly up my arm to my elbow. He peeled off my skin. I screamed in agony. Arching, and thrashing. The woman shaved my head, before clamping it down.

Jordge was sobbing, screaming in the distance to stop. They sawed and hacked at my body. For hours. "Her screams are annoying." Seth finally said. They had cut my arms legs and back. It hurt to move. I was dizzy from blood lose. "Save it, for later dearie." The woman said. They rolled me in bandages. I didnt peep. It hurt to much.

When they hauled me up. I saw Jordge for the first time. His eyes was missing, empty and bleeding. His leg bent the wrong way. He looked at me with his good eye. Through the bars of his cage.
How could people be so cruel.

Why!!??? Why would they say that!! They didnt kidnap us. We went with them willingly. I sat on my bed, sourounded in a pool of paintbrushes and sketch pencils. Canvases and clothes flooded the floor. My room seemed to tip back and forth like a boat on the ocean.

The mortal sword didnt work on them they said they kidnapped us. Kings body was burned in silent city. I silently wept, their future was going to be horrible. Stripped of the marks. Skin peeled off, its been five days now since we have been back.

The Los Angeles Institute, seemed empty without more teens my age around. My siblings had rushed Emma and I. Hugged us, except for Ti who just shrugged and smiled. But for him, that was like a bear hug.

There was a nock on the door that made me jump. "Come in!" I said, the door opened revealinh Emma, Isabell Lightwood, Simon Lewis, Jace Herondale, and Clary Fairchild. "Are we busting them out again?" I asked hopefully. Jace shook his head no. "They're in a secret part of silent city that no one knows about except for Seth Runekeeper, Clave Members, and some older Silent Brothers, and Iorn Sisters.." He said, and Clary gave me a apoligatic look.

"What happened to Abby?" Emma asked taking a seat next to me. "She was handed over to the Seelie Court." Simon answered gravely.
It was clear we couldnt save them. But we had to try at least. Didnt we?

I've lost count of the days I have been down here. They try to make us talk, on things I dont know. My left erist is a stump now. They had cut each finger off one at a time. Before cutting the palm of my hand off. I shared a cell with Olivia.

She was huddled in the corner. A blanket tugged around her shoulders. Her face and body bandaged in white cloth. She was silent. Breathing through the slits in the fabric. Her skin was almost comletly back. White, and sickly pale. My stump was also bandaged. My eye covered in a patch. My head shaven.

I limped over to Olive. I touched her head gently. I put her hand in mine as the door opened. Seth shoved me backwards. He grabbed Olivia and lead her out. The cell door slammed in my face before I could run after them. I sat silently. Olivia screamed in terror and pain. Pleading for Seth to stop. I heard a few smacks. Olivia sobbed loudly from somewhere down the hall.

"Tell me, where it is!!!" Seth yelled at her. She couldnt stop sobbing. Hours of screaming later. Olive was thrown into the cell. Naked and exposed. Her skin cracked. She clutched her chest sobbing helplessly. I grabbed the blanket and put it around her shoulders. She sobbed for a day or two against the wall. Not eating the bread. Not drinking the water. Her wounds became infected.

A Silent Brother lead us to the shower stalls. Olive sat in the water, as I cleaned her wounds and back. She stared at nothing. I cradeled my handless arm to my stomach, as I showered myself. Then Seth came for me. He dragged me by my shirt through the corridors. Olive sat in a chair. Clothed. Seth secured me to a chair. As he took a pair of long slim pliers. The woman forcfully jerked Olives head back.

"I'll ask one more time." He told me. "Where is the book." I shook my head. "I dont know." I said hoarsly. Seth shrugged and plunged the pliers into Olivias mouth. Ripping out her vocal cords.
