Warning: Short chapter.

Adam's POV
I wake up lying on the floor in a pool of blood still chained to the wall. My head hurts and my throat feels bandaged. I bring my fingers up and lightly brush over the puncture marks. I look around and see Madeline sitting in a chair--the same way as when I first saw her. I sit up and she tilts her head, watching me.

"Hello Adam."

"Hi." I mumble. Wait what?! I didn't want to say anything to this whore.

"So are you going to give me the ravens eye?"

"I can't give it to you if I don't have it. Why am I not dead?" I wonder.

"Because you won't be of any use to me if you were. Now, tell me where the ravens eye is." Madeline said.

"I can't. We hid it. Only--" I stopped myself from finishing the sentence. Why did I almost tell her? What the fuck is wrong with me?

"Only what?"

"Nothing. You don't need to know. I won't tell you."

"Oh but you almost did."

"Yeah but I won't!" I snap.

"Shame. I was really hoping they wouldn't have to do this again so soon." She says with fake sincerity in her voice. Fear flashed behind my eyes but only for a second.

"Let them do it. Let them kill me." I say. She shook her head and left leaving me with Jackson and Dylan. This time they unchained me and took my clothes off. I fought back but they threatened to snap my neck. I continued to fight until they pinned me to the floor. They were going to rape me. As the realization hit me like a ton of bricks I made a promise to myself.

I will not tell Madeline where the ravens eye or the skull key is. Never.

Brandon's POV
I'm worried. Danella's having another vision. She stares into space and there are tears streaming down her cheeks. When she looks at us I know something bad has happened to Adam.

"Is he okay?" I ask quietly.

She shook her head. I leave the room. I don't want to know what they're doing to my best friend. I just won't be able to handle it. I lean against the wall outside the room. I've held my tears in for a long time and now they're finally slipping. Adam had worked his way behind my walls and now he's going through this. I vow to myself that when we find Adam,

I will kill Madeline.

Watch's POV
There's a knock on the door and I already know who it is. I open it. "Hello." She says.

"Hi. Thanks for coming despite everything. We really need your help."

Anne smiled. "I thought you'd never ask."
