Ch.17 Trapped

Ch.17 Trapped

*~Adien's P.O.V~*

I feel cold, hard metal wrapped around my feet and hands binding me to what feels like a rock solid wall. I feel heat rising up underneath me it is so unbearbale, like when you stand next to a fire for to long and suddenly you feel sunburnt. My whole body aches like I have been working out for centuries.

Where the hell did Liam drag us? I wonder as I try again to open my eyes.

I feel around me but all I can grab is what feels like a chain. Pissed at being trapped, I go for the rock to see how sturdy it is, and if I could try my best to break it and escape, I feel more heat suddenly come from the rock and slide my hand down searching for more. My hand searches the area surrounding me but I can not go very far without the chain stopping my movement.

Sweat pours down my face due to my exertion..it is hot!

I open my eyes finally seeing only pitch darkness. Now I wonder if I am ethier trapped in darkness or someone has me blindfolded. I feel my face for anything but all I feel underneath my hands is my skin, what feels like dried blood, and dirt. My eyes feel so heavy I want so bad to close them again but I have to be strong for Ash. When her name enters my head I sit up a little straighter and my strength becomes a little bit stronger. I need to make it out of here...wherever here is..

I remember Liam saying something about hell but I never would have thought he meant actual Hell. Plans start forming in my head on how to get out of here, if only I didn't have these damn chains around me binding me to this godforsaken wall. I pound the wall repeatedly trying to find a weak spot but all I end up doing is tiring my arms and making my hands bleed.

As I am sitting there trying to come up with a plan, I hear footsteps from far off with every breath I take they get closer. Finally when they are only a foot away or so they stop.

" Well now brother look what you have done." Liam has a torch and is standing right in front of me when I open my eyes, " tsk tsk tsk you have been one very bad little brother."

" Let me go right now and in return I will make sure your death is quick. " I say angry and then grunting when the metal digs sharper into my skin. I feel the gashes it is forming in my skin, knowing now that I am grateful for being able to heal quickly but still irritated by the pain it brings.

" A quick death really? Oh I must let you go then brother!" He laughs evilly, " You can not even get out of those chains and you expect me to be afraid. Oh how I am shaking in my shoes." He taunts and smirks.

" I will get out of these chains Liam and when I do.."

" Ash will already be an immortal and you will still be stuck down here." He places the torch on a holder nailed into the wall, looking at me he kneels and starts searching in my pocket.

" Is that why you are over Ash Liam finally decided to pitch for the other team?" I say sarcastically. I feel the wind coming before he punches me in the gut.

" No. I just need this for my plan to work. " Liam says coldly. My eyes go towards the metal object in his hand.

" What do you need my phone for Liam?" I say but realizing I already know the answer.

" Good question brother, see it is all part of my plan to get Ash to come to me. While you are stuck down here chained to this wall, " Liam pats the wall, " I will convince Ash to meet me, turning her into an immortal, and then before all her little dreams she thinks are coming true, I am going to kill her. " He looks down at me with the darkest eyes I have ever seen in all my life's.

" I thought you was going to make us both suffer." I say calmly, trying not to give any kind of emotion away with my voice.

He can not kill my only reason of existence. I swear to myself.

" But you see Adien, you will both suffer. You are going to be stuck here in this lonesome part of hell, while Ash.... oh I shouldn't give away to much now should I it would ruin the suspense of it all?" Liam says sweetly.

" She will be away from you at least." Is the first comeback that comes out of my mouth.

His hand grabs a fistful of my hair as he slings my head into the wall.

" Yes but her death will be on your hands." He smiles like the lunatic he is.

" No her death will be on No ones hands because I plan on killing you before you can touch a single hair on her head!" I say as I spit blood out of my mouth.

Liam laughs, " Well you see brother her death will be on your hands truly they will be." As he says his last words his body begins to slowly change, brown hair becomes dark hair, his face turns slowly becoming my face, and then it suddenly is like I am staring into a mirror.

Except this version of me is sick, twisted, and evil. I look closely seeing if there is anything that is not like myself. The light off the torch bounces of his face and I notice that his eyes are not green. The eyes are the key to the soul, I once read. If Ash can look into his eyes she will know that this. demonic imposter will not be me.

I look coldy into the dark pits that is Liam's eyes and sigh.

" Giving up already?" Liam asks triumphantly.

" Never." Is the only word I give him as I stare at him face to face.

" Well I would ask questions and give you more taunting but I am running rather late at the moment. Ash needs me." And with that he extinguishes the torch and disappears.

I sit again alone with just my thoughts and begin to beg, " Please if I can not get out of here at least let Ash be able to know Liam is not me to look into his eyes and escape." I try again with the chains but I only end up deepening the gashes.

" I am not giving up on us Ash." I scream so whatever is out there in that evil darkness can hear my oath. " Even if I die trying. "
