Deadly Love

Don't fucking push it.

One hit, two hits, three hits, and on the fourth I can barely breathe. "You want to know what can happen to soul guides? You wear their soul down enough and eventually, they break. Im going to fucking break you and you're going to love me for it." Yessica says as he walks around me. His fingers snap and I can hear the whip hit the air and come down on my back. I don't know how long or how many times the whip hits me until she decides I have had enough. The floor is cool as my feet drag across it I start memorizing where the guards take me. Two right 15 feet take a right. 5 feet take a left 25 feet and then the room I am thrown into. The cooling of the stone to my face and chest helps me find grounding. She wants to break me and she hasn't even asked what she wants from me. Well if it's violence she wants then I'll let her think she is winning. I'll let her try to break me but I'm not going to let her. I try to sit up but my body is exhausted from the whipping from the sedation and I have no way to soul communicate with no one. Not even Atlas who I'm sure may be worried. I promised I would talk to him as much as possible and I know it's only been two days but I haven't even checked up on him. Ugh, how the fuck did this happen? I close my eyes and try to replay but I am so exhausted my eyes just close.

Guards come in and use a cooling agent on my back then I see a purple glow from behind me. The aching and sting completely evaporates. The marks are gone and I go to see if the blood is there and it's as if it never happened. A female guard comes in and she grabs my hand and cuffs them together. She looks at the two guards and they pick me up, I don't even fight them because, in the end, I will just die if I try. I am thrown into a wooden tub and the water is freezing the guard lifts my hand to a pole and makes sure I can't get free. The female guard cuts off all the clothing and starts to wash me. The water turns a pink and blue color. It's not from me it's from fishes that are healing other cuts on my body. Their like little nibbles on my skin the pain in my bones is finely gone and I'm not even sore anymore. I don't know what kind of fish these are or if it's smart that she is letting all these healing agents help me cause if it comes down to it I'm going to kick the shit out of her.

After I was dressed I am led down a long hall from the bathroom 56 steps then led to a room where there was a table filled with half women and men. The men have tattoos all over their bodies. Their muscles are huge. Some of them have florescent wings and some have black tip dust wings. The women have them as well mainly dark grey dust wings. These are fucking angels and demons who have sided with Yessica and for whatever she truly wants to do to the world. "Come join us, Nubia. you must be starving." Yessica says with a viper tone. I walk to the table and just sit down I try to lift my hands to eat but it's hard to eat with handcuffs. "May I have these taken off to eat," I say trying to not give attitude. "Of course. Where are my manners? Oh wait you need to promise to be on your best behavior or these guards will hurt you with pleasure." she responds. I smirk and nod hoping it's enough for these cuffs to just be taken off. "Valentine please remove the handcuffs of your former friend," she instructs and Valentine comes over to take them off. I look him in the eyes and give him a face of disgust. He doesn't even look at me long before he moves away from me. I look at the food and am hesitant to dig in but I'm starving and decide what the hell, might as well eat at the enemy's table. Everyone finishes around the table quietly. I mean it's so quiet you can hear everyone chewing, but Yessica finally cuts through the silence with her tone. "Nubia, now that you have food in your system you're going to open the holy map for me." I look up at her and my eyes go wide. She fucking took the map and expects me to know how to open it. "I don't know how to open it. I don't even know the correct steps." I try to sound believable. "Mm, are we going to lie to me? Well, I guess I will need to use force then. A door swings open behind me and they through my dad in who looks like he hasn't healed at all. "What did you do to him? I healed him," I yell at her trying to get up to go to his side. a fucking guard stands in my way and I'm really tempted to nail this fucker in the nose. "Correction, you healed Valentine. Not your father. Your father has been here the whole time fighting for his life." she chuckled at the end now I'm pissed off and I slam the guard into the side table and grab the blade from his side. "Don't be a fool girl. we can kill you both faster than you try to hurt another in this room." She tries to sound threatening but I do hear the very small tint of fear in her tone. "You won't kill me. You need me for everything you are about to do in the world. My soul is the key to it all." She looks at me and smiles because I have figured it out. The moment she started healing me was because she finally realized that the only way she was going to get everything she needed in her end game was to keep me alive and healthy. "What a smart little girl. Yes, I do need you but that doesn't mean I won't hesitate to kill everyone you care about to make sure you follow my rules." She warns me and her eyes are staring at me and my soul feels exposed to her. I'm sure she can see it. 

She isn't nice like my mother when we walk into the cold room holding the map. You can hear everyone's teeth chattering in the room. Yessica instructs them to unfold it and waits for me to do my magic. I do like my mother did and at first, the map does nothing but then it comes alive. At first just light blue and black show up but then I can see all the other colors as well as she looks at me and the map she says, "So you opening the map I can now see all the colors to sweet hear. Don't think you were that special darling I need to be able to see the rest of the colors to get my alliance ready." she says and then she brushes me off like she doesn't want to see my face no more. The guards shove me out the door and I can't believe she can fucken see all the colors. We're coming up to where we need to turn and I am shoved past that hall. We keep walking straight and come to a purple door. They unlock it and inside is a queen size bed. The sheets are a silky maroon and there are more pillows than I count. I look over towards the back of the room and see my father lying on a table. There is a not-in-large calligraphy writing: A Peace Offering.
