The Survivors

Chapter 6 - Punishment pt.2

TW: needles and torture

Levi starts strapping me into the straps, the leather digging into my skin. 

"Ow!" I yell, "they're too tight." 

Levi simply turns his head towards me smirking, "take the punishment or I'll make it hers."

"No, no please." I shut my eyes to avoid looking towards Levi and the other doctors.

Levi turns toward me and I see the evil glint in his eyes again. I look at him with hate, then I feel a pinch of the needle going into my neck and then it's black. 

When I wake, I see my family, faces wreathed in crimson red blood. My sister staring at me, blood dripping down her face, her once blood hair is now dyed red, she's looking at me with tears in her eyes, begging me to save her, or maybe I'm asking her to do that for me. I look down and swallow hard my voice stuck in my throat. It's not just any blood it-it's my blood. I stifle a scream, there's m-my brothers hand sticking out of my stomach. 

I reach down to touch his hand, just one more time, even if it was there to kill me but when I look back, it's gone. I try to hold back my tears. It's torture to see my family like this. Knowing they'd never do this. That no matter how mad we got we loved each other. I look back one more time but quickly look down again, I can't handle seeing them like this. 

My hands are sticky with blood as the scene no, the tainted memory changes. 

This time I'm in one of my favorite memories, one that keeps me going when I'm being hurt. One that reminds me of the good times, the before, it also reminds me of some things I'll never get back. I'm at the mall with my friends. My dad's there too but he's not by us. I had yelled at him a few minutes before about being a helicopter dad. 

That's the one thing I regret about this memory, not appreciating my dad. Then it's all I can think about. My head swirls with self- loathing thoughts. It's your fault. All of it. He loved you why didn't you love him back. Why...  Why.. WHY...! I start to run towards my friend toward anything, trying to escape these thoughts. 

As I near my friends their voices become crackly and scratchy, unrecognizable. Their voices start to mirror the thoughts in my head. It's hurts more when they say it. Feeling as though your friends are against you, is something I never wanted to feel, something I never want to feel again! They finally turn around to look at me, and the scream I've been stifling all this time is let loose! 

Their faces are ones of Ebs, dead Ebs. Their eyes falling out, skin peeling, showing bones. Then they slowly start to morph into their dead murdered bodies, I saw when running from the Ebs during the massacre. 

I try to run, realizing I'm unable to get anywhere, I sink to my knees, sobbing. I feel their dead hands reach me, their shaking me and saying something, except the voice is different. My eyes fly open, hands and body shooting up.

 I'm breathing heavily, I slap the hands on me away, not wanting to be touched. The voices are still in my head, their hands still on me. Slowly, the panic slows, and the world around me becomes clearer. 

I turn and stare deep into Levi's black eyes. He's looking at me smiling the evil glint in his eyes brighter than ever before, his fangs showing and his tentacle whips my head to the side. I stare right at my second oldest brother, his name is Samuel but we all call him Sam. 

He's pretty short just like the rest of us. He has a biological sister here, her name is Daisy. He loves her like no other. To be honest, I think he would give up the rest of us in an instant to protect her. But wouldn't we all if we had someone left to protect, so I can't really blame him, and still love him. 

He's got black hair and so does Daisy. They're both Thai (from Thailand). I'm from Greece. Speaking of which I'm currently praying to Hestia, the goddess of peace and hearths. I'm asking for the punishment  to over but let's be honest if the gods were with us we wouldn't be here. Maybe I should start praying to Kronos or the other evils. Anyways, enough about me and my religion. 

Alex is also there except he's staring Levi down. Sam is leaning over me like he's checking to make sure I'm alive. I look over at my other siblings staring at me like I was a zombie. Levi's mumbling to himself, "... bad....not public...next....different serum..." I can see him jotting down things on a medical pad. 

Then I make a really bad really really bad decision, worse then the one I made with Aurora. 

I slap Levi. 

Ok, I'm so sorry this chapter took me so long to write I had writers block then I ended up re-writing it 4 times. This was my final draft and I'm still not super sure if I like it, but I figured I had to put something out. So this may be edited sometime later! Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter. She's in for it next chapter! Thanks for reading! 

Words: 967 (ngl this chapter felt longer, I wrote this on paper first and it took up a whole page lol and I write pretty small too) But, it's one of the longest I've ever written so that's good! It might even be THE longest ever! 

Love you all,
