"Rafael, please!", I begged and cried against the restraints. Not one did he ever faulted his hand. The blade continually dragging down my skin and tearing the flesh. The burning sensation that seemed to never cease, the sadistic laugh he would let out when my screams ripped through my throat, the thought of never seeing lesso again. He was carelessly torturing me. Over and over, much like his formidable sister had done in the past. I am guessing that this is his revenge, slow, ruthless, exhausting.
"Your pathetic begging won't stop me. Haven't you learnt yet dear Y/n?. I won't ever stop. Even in death I will continue to tourtue you, starting with your beloved Leonora.", He laughs as he pushes the tip of the blade into my neck, breaking the skin slightly.
"Don't you fucking dare!", I screamed through the bloody tears streaming from my face. "Don't you dare touch her! You have me", I begged. I was on the floor, chains wrapped around my waist and arms, attached to the stone wall, soaked in my blood.
"Shh, it won't be over soon", he said as he sadisticly laughed again. He was not only touring me physically, but mentally aswell. He would play with my mind, intrude it and force images of lesso and other people, dead, dismembered, and worse. Mangled bodies entwined with eachother, faces barely recognisable. It was worse then tourtue. Rafael would use his blood magic to slowly bend my bones and snap them, repairing them and starting the process again. My throat was horse and everytime I would speak it felt like I was swallowing nails.

Back in the schools, lesso was in her office. She had completely destroyed everything and was shattered and broken. The glass cases with deadly, stuffed animals in, were decorating the floor. The brick walls had dents and cracks in them from objects that lesso had thrown in rage. Rage...but also unimaginable sadness and helplessness. She had no idea where y/n was. How could she trace someone who disappeared in the blink of an eye with blood magic?
"WHY?!?!", Lesso screamed as she threw a black glass vase at the cobbles fireplace.
"WHY HERE?!?! WHAT DID RAFAEL EVER WANT WITH HER?!?!". Tears and mascara were streaming down lesso's face. She hadn't even realised that she had cuts all over her hands and arms from the broken glass she had thrown and destroyed.

A harsh knocking then sounded through the door.
"Lesso! Answer me! Where is Y/N!?". Dovey was pounding on the door as the rest of the never students watched the ever professor with confusion. Never had dovey ever willingly come over to this side of the school, let alone be seen by the students that resides there.
"Lesso! Open this door or I will do it for you!". Dovey didn't get a worded response from lesso, instead, a shap knife was thrown at the door that stopped inches away from Clarissa's face. Stunned and shocked by what lesso had done, dovey used her magic to open the door and disarm lesso of whatever she was about to thow at the ever teacher.
"Lesso?!?...oh...lesso", dovey said quietly as she observed the state her colleague was in. Lesso had blood slowly dripping from all parts of her arms, her hair was all over the place and sweat drenched her face. Clarissa's defensive arms then dropped to her side as she walked i to the room, softly closing the door behind her. Lesso didn't dare look up from the floor. She feared of what Clarissa would say. Clarissa slowly approached lesso and softly places her hand into lesso's.
"Lesso...what's happend", Clarissa asked sympatheticly. Just then, lesso's knees gave way and she fell into Clarissa's arms. Through spluttering words and tears, lesso spoke. Only one word. A word that would give Clarissa all the answers to her questions.
"Rafeal", lesso said.

Clarissa's body stoped for a few seconds as she processes what lesso had said. She didn't ask more questions as lesso would have thought. Instead, Clarissa took lesso's broken body into her arms, comforting her.
"Lesso...that's why Y/n isn't here. Isn't it", Clarissa asked as she used her magic to gently heal the cuts on lesso's arms. As the cuts closed and the blood stopped flowing, lesso dug her sharp nails into her head.
"It's all my fault! I could have stopped him but I didn't! Y/n could be dead for all I know Clarissa!", Lesso shouted at Clarissa.
"No it's not. Rafael is powerful, even more then you. You couldn't have stopped him. Please...don't hurt or blam yourself". As Clarissa spoke she took lesso's hands away from her head and held them tightly on her lap. "Do you have any idea on where she is now?", Clarissa asked as sat on the wooden, glass covering, blood speckled floor. Lesso only shook her head. Her mind was clouded with guilt and grief, unable to even think of a possible solution. Even if they were on opposite sides of good and evil, Clarissa still held lesso like a mother. Lesso's body shook as she stayed sitting in the floor with Clarissa holding her. Nether of them spoke. They only sat, Clarissa holding lesso's body, comforting her. As they sat in eachothers embrace, Clarissa realised that she has never once seen lesso so vulnerable and hurt. So...weak. This side of lesso was a side that she had tried to burry years ago, back when she was Leonora.

Days had passes and the rest of the staff had been made aware of what had happend that night. All were shocked and devastated at the disappearance and loss of their colleague. As Dovey spoke to the rest of the faculty, lesso sat completely zoned out of the conversation. She let Clarissa talk and explain, it was to much for her. For once, she was unable to make a sarcastic or snarky joke. Riddled in grief and anguish, she closed herself off from everyone and everything, lessons included. During the meeting, dovey commanded that every staff member and guard to be on high alert for any sign of rafeal or Y/n. Even as the most renowned villain, y/n was no match compared to Rafael's skill and blood magic.

Over in her dorm, Sophie sat in her room admiring her newly founded blood magic. It danced around her fingers, shimmering in the sun's light. She had not one suspicion or doubt about where rafeal was. He would often leave Sophie and come back hours or even days later with no explanation. On the other hand, her doubts and suspicions about her special tallents teacher soured. Such a well-known villain would be hard not to spot but no commotion from the outside world had ever come alight. It was as if her teacher had just disappeared into thin air.

As sophie continued to play with her new magic, her door was broke open. There stood on the threshold was a very tired and angry lesso. The second the splinters hit the floor, lesso's heals were piercing into he wood as she ran at Sophie before the reader could escape. Lesso's silver nails caught hold of Sophie's collar, yanking her harshly backwards.
"Where is she!?!", Lesso bellowed as she pushed Sophie to the floor. Sophie's eyes widened in shock as she saw lesso. All the air was knocked out of her lungs as she made contact with the hard floor. It didn't help that lesso used one of her hands to pin Sophie to the floor and hold her neck, restricting the air flow.
"I-i don-n't know!", Sophie spluttered as she saw her speckled black patches in her vision. Lesso's expression turned from anger to pure rage and hatred.
"I know you know where rafeal took y/n!", Lesso shouted as she grabbed sophie's body and threw it against the floor, winding her once again. Sophie's tears were falling down her checks as lesso continued to shout at her.
"I don't! I swear!", Sophie shouted though tears and yelps.

A/n: I squeezed this shit out of my final brain cells. We're not talking about how I haven't updated in over a month 😶 😭
