Mysticons:The King's Concealment

Ranger's emotional turmoil

         Zarya motioned her friends to hide as Zane marched over to her. It was too late for her to hide now...and if she's honest with herself, she's too petrified by intimidation coming from him to move now. So she stood up and stayed there.
          Zane looked at the masked girl,feeling as if he had seen her before. The blue mask covered her face and her white highlighted bangs hid away her forehead. Her throat bobbed up and down as she gulped; he noticed her move a step backwards. A familiar belt buckle gleamed in the sunlight. 'Why is it so familiar?' He thought as he finally reached the teenage girl. 'Why can't I put my finger on it?...'
      "Who are you?" The king asked and she stiffened. She glanced around as if hoping an answer would spring itself onto her. "Don't make me put you in the dungeons too!" He threatened. A panicked look appeared on her masked face but she shook her head. Zane sighed. "Fine then, maybe a trip to the palace dungeons can make you talk." He mused and grabbed hold of the petrified young hero. She stumbled into step as they walked down the corridor towards the dungeons, Zarya becoming more and more frightened with each step she took but kept it hidden.
     Zane felt the young girl tremble as they went deeper into the dark parts of the palace,swarming with locked criminals and palace guards. He chanced a glance at her. Her teal eyes were wide,panic evident as she stared at all the criminals chained to the wall. Upon closer notice, he realised she wasn't staring at the snarling men,who was hissing insults and threats as he passed but at the shackles that kept them bound to the wall.
     As the king opened the cell door,Zarya felt a feeling of foreboding as she was dragged in. His violet eyes met her green ones as his hands slowly went towards the chains. In a spur of moment, he was stepping away,her arms locked into place by the chains. Her brain slowly realised what had happened, her skin felt a familiar cold metal press into it, and horrifying memories hidden in the deep recesses of her mind emerged in full force,  overwhelming her.
    She suddenly thrashed out in a desperate attempt to get the shackles of her. Zane gasped and backed away as Zarya went into a full blown panic. Images and flashes of light made its way into her head....and  muffled cracks reached her ears..... a dull pain bloomed in her body....and her past reared its ugly head as Zarya screamed.....
