Fate's Final Act

-CH 4- To my misery

⚠ TW

Everything was going blurry before my eyes. I let my head hung low, panting heavily and struggling to remain conscious of my surroundings. I could feel the cold breezes making my locks fly freely to the side. Brushing gently on my exposed back. For a minute, I felt as if the wind was a soft hand. Patting on my back and telling me that everything is going to be okay.

But that feeling only lasted a couple of seconds. As I heard the whip crack, slaying its way through the air. And crashing harshly on my back. My whole body stiffened up, and I refused to scream no matter how much it hurt. I bit my lip again, tasting blood as I did so. Though, some groans and whimpers escaped my lips as a normal reaction to my body.

Only took two breaths in. And again, it crashed mercilessly on my chest this time."Agh!" A sharp gasp escaped my lips, but I quickly muffled that up. I clenched my fists tightly around the chains that held my wrists apart.

I closed my eyes tightly. I no matter what happens, I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of seeing me break. All of them. One by one. "I'll f-cking have revenge on all of you!"

And it strikes again harder this time. But I didn't care. "Don't think that I-I am...agh.. That I'll-.... Let this pass!"

Suddenly, the person whipping me stopped for a moment. I glanced at him and saw an evil grin across his face as he stretched the whip in front of me. My eyes winded. What was he...

He raised it over his head and started flogging me with brutality, the likes of which I had never seen before. He didn't let me even breathe or adjust my stance, that from the severity of it, my legs collapsed from under me. I could hear the dirty people watching cheering because I finally started screaming in pain. I started coughing, and I swear that for a moment, I thought I was really going to die. "Enough! Stop! Are you crazy, you psycho!?" I cried out loudly.

This was not just a punishment. This man was taking revenge on me!

Out of nowhere, the elder raised his hand as a sign to the man to stop. I was breathing hard and barely conscious at all. I looked brokenly at him. Until I felt like my entire body was falling to the ground with a loud thud. And soon everything went black.

~~~~~~

I groaned softly as I slowly came to consciousness. My body felt like lead, every muscle aching. I tried to move, but even the slightest movement sent waves of pain through me.

Blinking my eyes open, I took in the surroundings. I was in a small room, the only source of light being a small window on the wall. The air was damp and cold.

I tried to sit up, but my body protested against the movement. "Where am I..." I mumbled softly, my voice barely a whisper.

"Ugh..." I gritted my teeth against the pain as I tried to shift into a more comfortable position.

I looked around the room. My vision was still not fully clear. Suddenly, something snapped inside my mind and I sat up a bit too fast, causing my head to hit a wooden thing.

"Oww.." I hissed, slowly bringing my hand up to massage the spot where I hit. The room was filled with my pained breathing.

"There is no way in hell, I'd let them lock me up like that. I'll find that f-cking heart... I'll turn into a full human. I am not taking anymore of this torture and humiliation!"

I attempted to stand up, fueled by anger and the adrenaline pumping through my veins. But as soon as I put weight on my legs, they buckled underneath me and I fell back onto the bed with a thud.

"Shit.. Come on!" I yelled, frustration and pain mixing in my voice. I tried to push myself up again, but my body protested, too weak and sore to cooperate.
