(happening while Ghost is escaping)

You watch as Ghost storms off, and your stomach sinks. You haven't seen her like this yet, but it was heart-wrenching. Doesn't help that she was one of your tempmates aswell.
The tempmarks that resemble her are radiating hurt and anger. Goddamn was it hard to force it down your system, but you did it.

Your name is HAYDEN CLEMENT, and you think you just betrayed one of your tempmates.

"No point in waiting any longer, let's go." The oliveblood mutters.
You nod, "I guess so."
"Where's your mo.. Moi.. Moiral?" Bruna stutters.
"It's moirail.. And, the helmsblock." The oliveblood sighs, "The place where goldbloods are helmed."

You immediately regret going with Bruna and her soulmate. This wasn't safe, but you said it yourself, they may need backup. So you guess you're that backup.

"Well, what're we waiting for?" Bruna snaps, and gestures for the oliveblood to lead the way.

The oliveblood starts walking, and you trail behind.
You go the same way Ghost did for a while, passing metal walls that gave you a weird feeling. You then come across a double door, and the oliveblood reads the sign aloud. You look at him like he's a snake.

"What? That's what it said." The oliveblood gestures towards the sign.

You roll your eyes and wait for someone to man up and open the door. Bruna steps up first, shoving the door with her elbow to see if it's push or pull. It doesn't budge.
Then, in an instant, an alarm starts wailing. You cover your ears and wince, goddamn was it loud.
You then see a group of six trolls come up behind you, Bruna, and her soulmate. Fuck. Bruna was the one that triggered the alarm.
You turn to the door to see how, and fuck you forgot you had a keycard. You should've swiped the keycard.
Suddenly, your hands are held high above your head and an indigoblooded troll is dumping everything out your pockets. The keycard drops to the floor, clattering effortlessly. A ceruleanblood stares at you with a freaky smile. Fuck. Your bones were locked in place.
You wanted to move so, so bad. You couldn't. You fought the mind control with every fiber of your being, but it was no use.
But, you could move your jaw. So you decided to use it instantly.

"Let us the fuck go! If you don't let me and my friends go RIGHT NOW I'm GO-" You yell at the trolls, but they looked at you like you were a poisonous snake. Fuck, they didn't know english.
The oliveblood shoots you a glance then speaks up for you, or at least that's what you think. The trolls snarl at you and look absolutely pissed. What did the oliveblood say?
The indigoblood's grip on your wrists becomes tighter, and soon you're being dragged down unfamiliar walls.
You shout and cry at your friends, but Bruna couldn't move and the oliveblood just stared at you somberly.

"FUCK YOU! FUCK THIS PLACE, FUCK THE CONDESC-" You shout, then your jaw is locked in place again. You couldn't move anything now. The ceruleanblood hasn't wiped that freakish smile off her face. You hate this shit. You hate it all.
You hate the Condesce you hate the Condesce you hate the Condesce you hate the Condesce you hate the Condesce you hate the Condesce-

You're dragged down long, dim halls as the metallic tang in your mouth lingers. You keep struggling against the indigoblood's grip, but you can't wiggle your way out. You soon hear a door open with a hiss, and the troll drags you inside. You're prepped up against the wall, and the indigoblood ties your wrists above your head with a heavy chain. Your elbows bend 90 degrees against the wall. Well fuck, you just got yourself stuck in chains. You struggle against the restraints. It's no use. One, because your bones are frozen in place, and two, because the chains were heavy and large. Fuck, why're trolls so violent?
You sit there, and your bones release. You struggle against the restraints while you can control your bones again, nope, still no use. You realize the trolls are just going to leave you there. What the fuck? This is fucked up, they can't-

"What the fuck..? No, please- Don't fucking leave me here you insufferable pricks!" You shout.

They ignore you, not turning their backs. The ceruleanblood and indigoblood stalk out the door.
Well fuck.
You're stuck in a room, metallic tang in your mouth, arms tied to the wall with heavy chains and your feet chained down. Today is stepping up its game from "normal day" to "intergalactic jail".
You wait for a while before a troll comes in and says to you:

"Prepare for culling, human."
"What the fuck? Culling?" You gawk.
"Prepare to be murdered." The troll corrects themselves.
"What the fuck? Why do you insufferable cunts just kill? Are you aware that isn't allowed he-" You get cut off.
"We know. But you aren't in-charge anymore. The empire is. Prepare for culling tomorrow, specifically in the next few hours." The troll snarled.

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. You need a miracle, and you need it now.

"Why? Please- please don't kill me. I'm not dangerous, I-" You stutter, giving a nervous coy smile.
"You knocked out and killed our guards. Do you really think we'd let you go like that?" The troll snarled again.
"It was self-defense! Your crazy fucking team just loves to kill!" You shout.
"Self-defense for no reason. They weren't going to hurt you until you hurt them first, or if you were dangerous and they knew."
"Fuck you! Fuck you and the Condesce! Fuck all of your stupid shitty species!" You cry, "Why am I imprisoned? I didn't do bullshit to you! I just escaped a fire then woke up in a fighting alien prison! Do you think thats fair?!"
"Not everyone gets what they want sometimes, human." The troll retorts, "Nothing is fair. So again, prepare for culling in 3 hours."

You shake your head, about to scream and shout at the troll, but they walk away, shutting the door behind them.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
You struggle against your restraints again, but oh no, it wasn't doing anything. It just bruised your wrists. Fuck.
You think this is the last time you'll ever have hope for a good life again.
