The Shadow

Chapter 2

Steven wakes from his deep sleep that he hadn't relized he'd fallen into. He listens wondering why he woke with worry and dread.He raises hes head and looks around listening.Thats when he hears the shuffeling footsteps.He looks toward the bag that he got the water,food and other things from but its gone.Steven listens with everything in him.But the foot steps are gone."Lunin?" he says nervously no answer."Lunin?" he tries again." Please talk to me." No answer again."I must be losing my mind." "Your not losing your mind!" she says abruptly making him jump."Why wouldn't you answer me earlier?" "i've been here longer then you have.I've seen the after math of the work he does to those who talk.I dont want to be something uses against you to hurt you and vice versa. He has more fun with the talkers." "What do you mean?" " Take Kevin and Lisa." she says "Kevin was here when i came in Lisa came after me. They talked alot.Became as close as any to people can be in this sitution. The Shadow started only taking Lisa into the torcher room.The more kevein pleded for The Shadow to take him and leave Lisa alone so she could heal the more he was ignored and the more she was taken until she could no longer talk or walk. The marks and wounds she came back with were hellish to look at alone. I can't even imagin whatr they must of felt like. The last time he took lisa into the torcher room he took kevin with them".... she sighs" I asked him where Lisa was when he was brought back and she wasn't. he mumbled about a table where she couldn't move. Then he started rocking back and forth. It wasn't long after that,that he stared mumbling about finding away out." "So The Shadow used their life linds against them?" "Pretty much. Thats why i don't talk and stay quiet. Theless he has to use against me the better" " Why is your light out?" "He only turns your light on when he wants to.....to torcher you. Its when your light goes out that you need to worry about."" Why is that?" " Because when your light goes out he doesnt want you anymore. An your left wondering when he will come for you that one last time.Good luck Steven" " With what?" he asks.Then he hears the chains.He watchs horrified as the shadow steps into the light." NO" Steven yells and moves deeper into his corner trying despretly to push the bucket out of the way.

The Shadow watchs Stevens useless attemps to fold himself into the corner.He looks down at Steven's genitals then raises the cattle prong from behind his back and pushs it into a helpless Stevens leg and holds it there watching as it continuesly zaps him making him sieze up.The Shadow then pulls the prong away from Stevens leg and places a dripping rag he has pulled from the pocket on his rubber apron over Stevens face.When The Shadow is certain that Steven is out he removes that rag and the rusted shackle from around an unconscious Stevens ankle.The Shadow drags his captive to the torcher room once more chaining him spread eagle on the floor.

When Steven wakes he notices right away where he is but he also notices that the Shadow has more of a form and looks less like a blob.he notices the height first 5'2 maybe 5'3. He's wearing a black rubber apron like in slaughter houses.A black 's'and'm' leather mask that zips up in the back.He's wearing blacked out goggles over his eyes. Everything else is blobbed out."What do you want with me?" Steven ask. The Shadow says nothing and does even look up from his tray. Thats something else Steven notices the torcher room is lite up more then before. Steven can see as far as the medical tray thats bolted in place two feet from where the light use to stop. "why are you doing this!!?" Steven yells. Again The Shadow says nothing but looks up this time as he uses a stricker to light something that reminds Steven of a weilding torch but this is a small sealed container with a torch head. The Shadow closes the distance between them. Steven watches helplessly as The Shadow puts the scorching hot blue flame on the bottom of his left foot and hold it there. Watching Steven scream and thrash in trying uselessly to get away. The room fills with the smell of cooked burn flesh. When The Shadow removes the torch flame the bottom of stevens foot is black like fur on a black bear or piece of burnt cole.

Steven feels his stomach heave but he doesnt throw up the pain racing threw, out and, down his foot and up his leg is ferocious. But Steven pushs it down and out of his mind. "Is that all you got? you Fucking feak of nature." he says threw clenched teeth. The Shadow gives Steven his tilted puppy look before stepping between Stevens legs and placing the torch flame on the front of Stevens lower left leg just above the knee. Again Steven screams and tries to thrash away to no avail. Again the room fills with the smell of cooked burn flesh but this time the smell of burnt hair comes with it.This time when The Shadow removes the flame and Steven pushes the pain from his mind he says. " You may hurt and take my body but you'll never have my soul. You fucking coward." To this The Shadow moves the flame to Stevens groin right next to his swollen testicales. The pain from this is so unending expelling that Steven passes out from it.

When he comes to he finds that he's back in his corner without an ankle shackel but Steven's horrified to see a chain running threw his balls. He Stares down at his manhood in disbelief and shock. " You wont feel it for awhile."Lunin says " I watched him shoot you with a pain killer."

Steven says nothing because his shock has overtaken him."Hey snap out of it boyo" says Lunin. " If he sees what he's done to you bothers or gets to you he'll keep upping the stakes." Steven backwards crab crawles to hius bucket and pukes
