Soul Shards

Chapter 22

Abby's POV:
When Alex and I came back down I saw Trott sitting on the couch starring at his watch. "What ya timing Trott," Alex said.
"Ross. He wanted to go outside for 10 minutes he should be coming back inside in a few." I nodded and walked to my room. I just lay down then had a sickening feeling. I shot up out of the bed and raced outside Ross was no where to be seen. I heard footsteps behind me and it was Chris. "Relax Abby he probably went for a short walk."
"How long?" I asked.
"Still a few."
"How long?!" I said more sternly.
"2 minutes."
"He should be close by at least."
"Abby calm down a bit."
"Chris you can feel if Katie isn't well, in some sort of trouble. Whether it be she isn't feeling herself or she is in actual danger."
"Yeah if it's bad enough."
"I feel like that right now." He looked at his watch again. "1 minute."
"I don't give a shit about the time right I all I care about is that Ross is gone and something bad really bad just happened." I looked at my crystal quickly and it was fine so I knew he was still alive I just had a really sick, very sick feeling that he wasn't going to be for long.

Ross's POV:
Lilith had placed the bag back over my head. I knew that as when I woke up I could see a small light and the mesh. I decided that they couldn't see my eyes so if I didn't move they would think I was still unconscious. "What are you going to do with him Mother," Azazel said. "I'm going to make him be mine and turn him against Renee," Lilith said. (Renee is Abby and Raiden is Alex). "But what if she comes looking for him?"
"She is not strong enough to defeat me. And besides he will be mine before she can figure out how to get to him."
"What if he doesn't want to."
"Then we kill him in the worst possible way, make her feel everything."
"Yes Mother." Lilith walked up to me and kicked me in the stomach. I had to pretend to just come to then. "Ah awake now I see. Azazel torture him, but not to death I want him alive so Abby can feel her partner being torn away from her."
"Yes Mother." Lilith was gone back into the shadows and Azazel took off the mesh bag. "I'm going to have fun breaking every bone in your body." Azazel picked me up with his powers and pinned me against the wall where a chain was put around my neck and around my arms which strung me up then ones around my legs which stopped them from moving. "Hhmm what shall we start with. I recon just a bit of bruising to start of with, maybe a few scratches." Azazel smacked my shins with the baseball bat. I heard a crack the second time it hurt like hell. I didn't cry out, I wasn't going to. If I did he was going to use magic because he knew it hurt. "Tough shit are we." He hit my side and a tear dropped down my cheek, he broke my ribs. "How about a nice big slice." Azazel grabbed my arm and cut all the way down it and stuck his fingers in my arm making it very painful. I still didn't cry out I just worked through the pain. I had bitten my lip so much it was bleeding. Azazel held his hand towards me and I prepared for more pain but I felt fine I felt better. I looked at my arm and it was healed. "Don't get to excited." He hit me with the bat again and again. Healing me to just start over. Each time he healed me a tiny bit less making it hurt more and more. "Abby can feel each time I hit you. You know, she can feel your bones breaking she can feel your skin being pierced." I spat blood in Azazel's face and didn't say anything. He swung the bat and hit my knee shattering it. I cried out this time. "Drop him and cage him. He won't be getting out anytime soon," Azazel said and I fell to the ground every bone in my body hurting. A large steel cage came crashing down over my head and I was trapped. Unable to move much of it hurt and unable to use my powers. I couldn't do anything, I was in great pain and I knew Abby would be too, which made me feel worse made it hurt more.
